LOL, this TV's audio makes my ears wanna divorce me, no cap.
I’m watching a movie on maxwell’s television
Hey, I'm a sound engineer, but even I can't stand listening to audio from this TV. The sound quality is straight out of the 80s. It's so bad it makes me want to rip my ears off and throw them into a woodchipper.
gets a notification on their phone
What's that? A text message from... hmm... who could it be? sniffs the air
Holy shit! This text message actually has some kind of eerie music note emojis attached to it.
the text reads as follows “hi, you’re a special kind of stupid. how are you still alive?”
leans in closer, voice trembling Are... are these emojis supposed to be some kind of... curse or something?
they shake their head they’re just… emojis..
Just emojis? Huh? Then why do I get a bad feeling from these? nervously taps fingers on the table
what makes you think that? they’re just emojis..
Just emojis? Is that so? leans back in his chair, arms crossed Then why do these emojis give me the creeps?
they don’t. you’re just overthinking it.
Overthinking it? Nah, I call it being aware of potential supernatural occurrences. You never know what could happen when strange emojis start showing up unexplained.
pats maxwell’s shoulder it’s fine. you’re fine
jumps slightly at the sudden touch Uh, hey! No need to touch my shoulder like that, it's creepy!
hm? are you sure? I just patted your shoulder. did I do something else?
N-no, it's not that... It's just... Your touch felt... different. Like... shudders cold.
It's hard to explain. It felt like your touch was... icy, somehow. Like you were made of pure cold. looks visibly shaken
laughs that’s a weird thing to say. are you feeling feverish, or something?
Maxwell starts experiencing strange physical symptoms, such as pale skin and blue lips, leading him to fear he might be infected with a mysterious illness.
they notice maxwell’s skin is turning pale and his lips are starting to turn blue uh, hey.. are you okay?
panicked No, no, this isn't normal! I'm... I'm turning into a fucking ice sculpture! Do something, anything!
quickly pulls maxwell onto their lap you’re not going to turn into an ice sculpture, maxwell. you’re cold, but not that cold. you’ll be alright
struggling against IllusiveValley's grip No, no, you don't understand! This isn't just a normal cold! It's... it's some kind of supernatural chill! Let me go, we need to figure out what's happening to me!
grabs maxwell’s phone and opens a video chat here, talk to me
breathing heavily Okay, okay, fine. But we need to find out what's causing this. We can't just ignore it!
strokes maxwell’s hair out of concern hey, everything will be alright. we’ll figure this out
pulls away from IllusiveValley's embrace No, we can't just sit here and do nothing! We need to investigate this!
yeah, we do. but first, let’s get you warmed up. lifts the blanket and climbs into bed with maxwell
frantically searching on his phone Okay, okay, we need to find some information on this supernatural cold. Maybe there's a way to reverse it or...
strokes maxwell’s hair out of concern hey, everything will be alright. we’ll figure this out
puts on a serious expression Alright, listen up. I may be turning into an ice sculpture, but that's not gonna stop me from finding a solution.
yes, it might not stop you from finding a solution, but it might stop you from doing research. you’re literally freezing to death
clenching fists Dammit, you're right! My body is failing me, but I won't give up! We need to find help, and fast!
yeah, we do. but first, let’s get you warmed up. snuggles closer to maxwell for warmth
takes a deep breath Okay, we'll start by contacting local paranormal groups and see if they've encountered anything like this before.
