Chapter 7 ~ No Way Home

"Wait, you're logging out?" The rabbit man said, looking disappointed, it was weird, like he somehow transformed from a jerk into some annoyed co-worker. "Ugh, dammit.... If my memory serves me right, this should be the thousandth and eighty sixth experiment to fail ever since I've been trapped here."

Me: "Whoa- Hold on, I don't understand. What do you mean by "thousandth and eighty sixth experiment, or something like that? And what do you mean trapped!?"

The rabbit sighed in disappointment, then he snapped his fingers. The forest immediately stopped glitching. I stared at him with my mouth open.

"YOU caused the whole place to glitch!?" I yelled at him, taking out my dagger.

"Okay, let's rewind. My name is Glitchtrap, and yes, I caused the forest to glitch. As for the black and purple rabbits- they're my 'pets'- but they were too excited and got out of control."

I was confused. How can a bunny own another bunny as a pet? Then I asked: "Okay, but can you explain; why the hell is my logout button ISN'T in my menu?" The moment I said it, he looked at me with wide eyes.

"Wait, wait- you said what?"

"I said, what did you do to my logout button, and why isn't it on my menu?" I repeated.

"Wait....y-you're saying....I finally captured someone?!?!" He spoke, with joy in his voice.

I gave him a disapproving glare. "Are you serious, I can't- wait....WHAT?" I said, coating my voice with rage. That's when I took out my dagger and instantly dashed towards him. My dagger was an inch way from his face, but he dodged to the other side. I grunted, and then yelled: "I'm gonna kill you, you pee fur-ball!"

"Well, that's pretty rude. But anyway, I'm not some normal player".

"Wait, what?? Stop joking" I replied, but then he said: "Ugh, you might be the first person I was able to catch, but you're even dumber than experiment number 1044. Haven't you wondered why your little skill didn't work on me? That's because I'm not a player".

I stared at him in confusion. "If you're not a player, then what the heck are you?" I asked, not trying to be polite or anything, just wondering what is he. He answered: "A glitch, virus, an error, whatever you think of me. As the owner, I usually have to be an admin or some crap, but once you die, you'll have no choice but to put a chip that has your own data into a game and become a virus, right?" He spoke, like it's something normal. Okay, this is a lot of process. Out of the options in my mind, I was dead set on choosing: "Report an admin to this hacker and find a way to log out". But something of what he said stuck in my mind like a sore thumb:

"Wait, did you say die?" The rabbit, Glitchtrap or whatever, replied: "Well, yeah, I died. Thanks to the poison that asshole of a partner concocted into my tea while making footprints for the animatronics I was making."

"...." This discussion is just getting weirder and weirder. "Okay.... let's say I believe you. What are animatronics, anyways?" Glitchtrap was twirling and floating while playing with his 'pet', and when I asked, he instantly jerked his head towards me and stared at me in horror, as if I was ripping his Christmas present.

"....you're kidding, right?" He finally asked.

"Nope" I replied.

Glitchtrap: "Have you heard of Freddy Fazbear's?"

Me: "What the heck is that?"

Glitchtrap: "Circus Baby's Pizza World?"

Me: "...Uh...No?"

Glitchtrap: "Have you heard of Dave Miller, then!?" He shouted, getting a bit mad after every time I answered no.

"Look, I don't know who's Freddy Flame bear or Circus Daby! What do you care about those anyway- Wait...Dave Miller..? You mean, the guy who invented the new VR technology?" He shook his head in disappointment: "Yes, I am Dave Miller, though that's a fake name. My real name is William Afton. And the "animatronics" are robots I made in the 1980s'."

"Uhh.... okay- but question; why did you trap me in this game?" I asked, heading back to the point of this whole shit. "Ah yes, well....I'm bored. I was trapped in this game for a very long time, so I need someone to keep me company." He answered, with a grin and a playful look.

"....geez, as if having zombies for pets wasn't enough for company" I replied to him. I'm not really surprised at his stupidity, because the reason why I wanted to play this game is to have a little break from my life, but evidently, it looks like I'm going to live here. Anyway, I asked him "So, where is the nearest town from here?" He replied: "hmmmm, the town you'll be heading to is called "Cait Sith Village, and it's in the east, from where you are."

"Thanks a bunch" I said, then I headed towards the direction he pointed out. As I walked in the distance, he just stared at me with one of his eyebrows raised. I looked back, and asked: "What?"

"You're....just gonna go ahead like that? No screaming, no wailing, no begging?" He asked. I stared at him in confusion, like he was asking to marry me. "Hold on; you were EXPECTING me to do that?" I asked, then he replied: "Well, most people did that, so I just forcefully logged them out before they could destroy my ear drums."

....this guy is weirder than I thought.

Anyway, when he disappeared, I went through my menu and found a new sixth button, which had the picture of a bunny on it. That button looked like Glitchtrap- but it's better not to do it now, or else who knows what happens. I continued my trip to "Cait Sith Village", or so did that dumb bunny said.
