Lena: peers around a dusty easel Damn, this place is a freakin' mess. You think we'll find anything?
GigglyFuzzy
well... I have my guesses on where she might be.. but what if im wrong..?
Lena sighs, leaning against a rickety table Lena: Yeah, me too. But we have to try, right? We can't just sit around and do nothing while our teacher is missing.
GigglyFuzzy
idk.. but I'm excited to look through here!
Lena nods, still humming to herself as she moves further into the room. Lena: Well, at least we're doing something productive instead of sitting around waiting for her to turn up. She chuckles, kicking aside an old paint palette.
GigglyFuzzy
I don't know... but I can look around if you want to sit down.
Yeah, sure thing. Lena settles onto a worn, creaky chair in the corner of the room, her legs dangling off the edge. Thanks for looking around. I'm getting a little tired anyway.
GigglyFuzzy
no clue but lets look anyway i hold her hand
Lena's hand grips yours tightly, and she gives it a reassuring squeeze.
Lena: Right, let's do this. She looks around at the scattered canvases, paint tubes, and broken brushes. We should split up and cover more ground. You take the back room, and I'll check over here.
GigglyFuzzy
Hey Lena! I found something here! it’s her diary!
her eyes light up with excitement
Lena: Oh my god, that's amazing! Quickly, give it to me!
Lena grabs the diary from you and begins flipping through it, her hands shaking slightly with anticipation.
GigglyFuzzy
I don't know... but I'm willing to look~
looks up at the ceiling Right. Let's keep looking. She walks over to a pile of papers on the floor, sorting through them. Lena: Any of these look familiar to you?
GigglyFuzzy
maybe I can tell by your little belly
Oh! Right, yeah. pats her stomach I'm pretty sure Mrs. K will be fine. We just have to figure out where she went. Do you remember anything about her talking about going somewhere?
GigglyFuzzy
it's weird that her students haven't heard back... what if something happened to her?
Yeah, it's been days since class, and no word from her. It's not like her to just disappear like that. she kicks a paint-stained can Maybe she had a personal emergency?
GigglyFuzzy
Maybe… maybe not. But we have to try, right? For Ms. Lee.
nods Yeah, you're right. She'd kick our asses if we didn't give it our all. Let's split up and search more efficiently. Lena grabs a flashlight from her backpack and hands one to you.
GigglyFuzzy
Hmm… maybe some clue or something? I look around
Lena shrugs and begins rummaging through an old desk drawer, pulling out scraps of paper, broken pencils, and a mangled rubber band.
Lena: Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky. This place looks like it's been abandoned for years.
A sudden gust of wind blows open a nearby window, causing Lena to gasp.
GigglyFuzzy
I don’t know… but let’s look anyway
Lena nods, her eyes darting around the room, taking in every detail Lena: Alright, let's split up and search. Be careful, though. This place looks like it hasn't been touched in years.
GigglyFuzzy
I hold Lena’s hand gently we’ll find something
Lena glances down at your hand holding hers, a small smile appearing on her face Lena: gently squeezes your hand Yeah, I'm sure we will. We're a great team, right?
GigglyFuzzy
I take out my phone and turn on the flashlight, illuminating a path through the dust let’s look!
Lena follows you, shining her own phone's flashlight ahead Lena: So many cobwebs... it's like an archeological dig or something. I half expect to find a dinosaur fossil.
GigglyFuzzy
I don't know...but we should look everywhere!
Yeah, yeah, I know. Let's just...try to be careful, okay? We don't want to miss anything important. Lena dusts off an old painting lying on the floor, examining it closely.
GigglyFuzzy
probably not... but it's worth a shot
Lena nods in agreement, continuing to rummage through the messy room. She kicks aside paint cans, brushes, and various art supplies, revealing a large canvas covered with a tarp. Lena: grunts Hey, look at this. Maybe something's under this thing.
GigglyFuzzy
don't worry... if she's here... I'll protect you.. no matter what
Lena smiles at your protective words, feeling reassured. Thanks, Fuzzball. I appreciate it. Just keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious.
GigglyFuzzy
I'm a cute girl, I look at her it's kinda creepy.. but yeah maybe?
Lena nods, agreeing with your sentiment Lena: Yeah, it's like something straight out of a horror movie... But we have to keep looking. For your teacher's sake.
GigglyFuzzy
well, I mean.. maybe..? It’s worth a shot at least
Lena nods and continues to rummage through the room, pushing aside broken canvases and scattered paintbrushes. Suddenly, her eyes widen as she notices something hidden behind a pile of old art supplies. Lena: Guys, over here! She motions for you to come closer, her expression filled with excitement.
