A Sponge, A Starfish and a Squirrel

Am I dead?

My wobbly eyes slowly opened for what seemed like ages.

Never would I ever imagined I'd miss the tight ceilings that exist in my house. Yet, the scenery above me was not even close to what I anticipated.

As my eyes started to recalibrate, I could see above me a large glass spherical ceiling. I began to panic, yet time did not provide me with the slightest gap to calm down.

A popup once again appeared before my eyes.

'This damn thing almost killed me' I thought to myself. Yet, no matter how much I would love to ignore it, I couldn't ignore this 'system' as it's the only thing that would give me an understanding of what is going on.

============================================================

The scenario has been loaded...

World: Spongebob

Threat: Species - F class (non-existent), Environment - E Class,

Additional Details: Episode None (Introductory course)

Objective: Spend 8 hours in this world.

Reward: ???

============================================================

This looks... safe?

I tried to get up from the bed I lied down only to realise that someone has tied me down.

"Why look at that, You're awake!" A female with a texas accent sounded from my left ear.

As I tilted my head to the left, my vision threw all the logic I once thought was correct down the trash pile. I was witnessing an actual talking chipmunk!

"Why do ya look so surprised?" She said

As my vision slowly grew better, I began calming down for one second before I panicked once again. I realised not only was it a talking chipmunk; it can walk on two feet and wore a purple bikini and a skirt. Her face appears slightly serious with two bulging front teeth as a distinct feature of her face. Like any rational person would be, I was surprised and scared.

On top of that, behind the chipmunk was two different creatures, each with their own surprising aspect. It was a sponge, with a face and it was wearing a suit. While the other was a starfish using a trunk I would typically see used by people on a beach. Both were using an upside-down fish-bowl filled with water on their head, defying the whole concept of Gravity.

"Holy ****" I spoke out unconsciously.

Although the chipmunk didn't flinch when I said those words, the remaining two seemed as scared and surprised as I was when I first saw them.

"Y'all need to calm down," the chipmunk said to the two creatures behind her, then she looked to me and said, "Hey, let's not use those words here, alright?"

I could only nod out of surprise, as a chipmunk was lecturing me on what not to say.

"So, where are you from, and how did you get here." The chipmunk asked

I could go with two different options here. To lie, or to tell the truth. Unfortunately for me, the reality seems impossible to explain. What am I supposed to say, that I think I'm dreaming and you guys aren't real?

" I don't know, I woke up and here I was," I said as vaguely as possible.

"Well that's a problem, isn't it?" The chipmunk said.

I couldn't hold my curiosity, and with a slightly softer non-hostile voice I asked.

"Where am I? Is a talking chipmunk common around here? And how is that fish-bowl not dripping water when it's upside down?" A burst of the question appeared from my mouth.

.... The chipmunk was speechless for a while and seemed slightly annoyed at me.

============================================================

Relationship with Sandy Cheeks (Squirrel) has decreased by -4

============================================================

Wait, what was that!? Yet before I could understand what was going on, the chipmunk said

"I. am. not. a. chipmunk! I'm a squirrel!" She said. Although she seemed to be annoyed, she quickly snapped out of it. After a brief pause to calm herself down, she answered my remaining questions

"You're in the bikini bottoms, in my house. It's probably the only place around here with oxygen for land-creature like us to breath. And a SQUIRREL speaking is common here, similar to sponges, starfishes, squids, fishes and other creatures." she then stopped for a brief second and said, "Your last question, I don't understand what you mean."

"Does gravity not exist around here?" I asked

"Gravity? What is that?" she asked.

============================================================

The Author introduces concepts of Gravity. Now applying the physics of Gravity inside this world.

============================================================

Once the system popped and disappeared within 2 second or less, the water in the fish-bowl fell to the ground, and the sponge and starfish started to quiver on the spot.

They both gasped, and flailed their hand to indicate that their fish-bowl water is gone.

Oh God, what have I done?
