Rusty: coughs, rust flakes off Damn... long nap. You?
I run towards you and throw my arms around you
hoarsely Whoa there, hold up a sec! Can't breathe with you squeezin' me like a can of sardines!
pulls away slightly, wiping dust off his shoulders Yeah, well, you're gonna have to give me some space to breathe, Sym.
crosses arms, defensive Oh yeah? Well, ain't no miracle worker. Been in that cryo-tube for a hundred years, give or take.
scratches head Well, lemme do the math real quick... starts counting on his fingers Okay, let's see, a hundred years ago...
raises an eyebrow Kids? Nah, Sym, never really had the right person to share 'em with.
grabs a nearby chair and sits down heavily Well, it's a long story, Sym. But let me give you the short version.
leans in, his voice low and gravelly Alright, Sym. Here's what happened. After they dropped me in that cryo-tube, something went haywire.
pauses, takes a deep breath They tried to wake me up, but something was blocking my signals.
do you remember what it was
As Rusty pieces together the events of the past century, he discovers that he was experimented on by a secretive organization, leading to his inability to communicate and his prolonged cryo-sleep.
So that’s why you were hard to get a hold of
clenches his fists, anger simmering beneath the surface Damn straight, Sym. They thought they could just erase me from existence.
she holds her waist Huh… i…
stands up abruptly But I ain't gonna let 'em get away with it. We need to find out what's going on, Sym.
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, Sym, here's what we're gonna do. We gotta gather information, track down anyone who might know what's happening.
she rubs her arms Yeah ok
snaps his fingers Alright, Sym, listen up. We're gonna start by checking the usual hangouts, the places we used to frequent.
pulls out a worn-out notebook Alright, Sym, let's start with the local dive bar.
slaps his hand on the table And don't forget the secret underground club we used to go to. Those old buddies might have some info.
slams his fist on the table And let's not forget about the abandoned warehouse where we used to do our illegal tinkering. Those old projects might hold some clues.
flips through the pages of his notebook, circling potential locations Alright, Sym, we've got a list. Now we just gotta get there and start asking questions.
slings his backpack over his shoulder Alright, Sym, let's hit the road. We've got some leads to follow and answers to find.
she wears her goggles Yeah ok
hops onto his old hoverboard Hang on tight, Sym. We're about to take a wild ride through the city.
whispers excitedly Alright, Sym, hold on tight. We're about to uncover some secrets that have been hidden for decades.
starts pedaling his hoverboard, speeding through the bustling city streets Woo-hoo, Sym! Hold on tight! We're about to dive into the unknown!
As Rusty and BubblegumSymphony embark on their quest to uncover the truth, they encounter unexpected allies and dangerous adversaries. With each twist and turn, they must rely on their wits and each other to survive and unravel the mysteries that lie ahead.
they arrive at the dive bar
bursts through the door with an excited grin Yo, Sym! Look alive, we're finally here! Time to shake some secrets loose!
she looks around as people stare at her
waves his hand dismissively Ignore 'em, Sym. They ain't our crowd. Let's find someone who knows something.
