Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good!

::The Doctor made a quick check to a his wrist, and then looked back at Madi.::

Its getting razher late, and you've had zuch a long day, you should get zome sleep. You have a long day ahead of you.

::With no sun and no moon it was hard to tell time. But it was well past 4am, and the poor bunny hadnt had any real restful sleep. Yeah, sure, she had been unconcious, and had a psychopathic episode, but that wasnt sleep. She would need sleep, alot of sleep. There was so much to be done!

Of course no one can see what the next day has until they sleep! Well, if Madi did go to her room, and did sleep. She would find in her room, sitting on her bed, a small stuffed animal. Not a real stuffed flesh and blood animal, but one made out of cotton and horrible patchwork stitching. One leg was smaller than the other, its ears were two different colors, and one of its eyes had a string that was too long attached to it so it was hanging a bit. But, there was a note attached to its tiny little paw which read...

"In a big scary tower, in a big scary room, you need a small cutey friend.

Goodnight!

B.Mary"

Yes Mary would good at alot of things...but stitching was definately not one of them. And she had really wanted to make this all by herself without Marcels help. Hopefully Madi would like it, and maybe it would keep her company on this dark stormy night.::

::Ahh morning, the time when birds chirp and play while sunlight glitters through the window to quiety wake little ones from their sleep so they can scatter and play outside.

Not here. Morning here came at 11am, which as still as pitch black as 4am, and even 4pm. But here at 11am a loud noise shook through the hallway across the open elevator like a thunderclap. It was the sound of words, it boomed through the hall so loud it felt like it cold tear ear drums to shreds if it was much louder. The words were so loud they echoed in ones skull like thoughts trying to invade into ones mind.""

BLOOD ON HER SKIN!

::A loud bang struck the elevator as Squiddlys massive form slammed into it. And then came the second verse. The voice ricketed up the elevator shaft shaking the foundation beams.::

DRIPPING WITH SIN!

::Even on floor thiry si---no wait. The elevator didnt read thirty six, it was on floor 66.::

DO IT AGAIN!

::This was a song! The drums, the pure hardcore rocking scratch of the singers voice, the rhytm machine in the back, there was no mistaking music. And this was music, music playing so loud that it could leave a person deaf!::

LIVING DEAD GIRL!!

::With that final verse of the song, the drums slowly began to fade. Well the sound of the drums, Squiddlys 8 legs still beat against the elevator mimicing the drum beat like a human might do with his fingers against a table. When the song was finally went silent the elevator doors swung open and there stood Mary, all dressed up for work and ready to go. She was even still lipping the lyrics "Crawl on me, Sink in to me, die for me, living dead girl." Just barely audible. This was so routine for her that she entered the elevator with a small set of ear buds in her ear blasting music, and her head bobbing so hard that she didnt even notice Madi.

She stepped in and pressed the button for the 13th floor, and then she just rocked out, as the elevator became to move.

It was a long way from floor 66 to 13. And she was content just rocking out to the small black device on clipped to the pocket on her hip which read in green letters "ID-Pod."::

::When rocking out, the world didnt exist. Just the music blasting in her ears, and the job that had to be done. Mary had no reason to believe there was someone in the elevator sleeping or waking up. People dont sleep in elevators, not since the tower was made. It had been this same pattern every single day, at th same time like clockwork.

The elevator made a cliche ding as it hit the 13th floor and the door opened to a hulking monstrosity standing right in front of it with his mouth wide open and his teeth, razor sharp. His right claw was about the size of an average dog and seemed to be just the sword of the thing nightmares were made of. As were the 5 long blades which seemed to serve as his hand, but the back of that hand rubbed his 16 eyes as Marcel scooted into the elevator beside Mary and simpy sat, hulking. There was a moment of silence, and a pause before Mary kneeled down and flipped one the elevator panels pressing a secret button, a marked only by the numbers 001. Seeing as how his hand was rubbing his face, Marcel totally missed Madi as well.

About 30 seconds into the ride Mary popped one of the small ear bud head-phones from her ear and offered it to Marcel. And there was mutal rockage, as the elevator descended, slowly, and shakily as always as it headed to heaven only knows where.::

::Sure enough, the metal walls of the elevator shafted echoed the noise like a megaphone so loud that even the doctor could have heard it before it peaked off at the top floor.

But, no one budged. There would likely be those few seconds of disbelief as Madi came to the realizat that as loud as they boom was Marcel and Mary still faced straight forward, without budging. And Mary still lipped the words to some distant song. It would be really short lived before the loud DING filled the elevator and it came to its final stop. Floor 001.

As the door screeched open a dark purple light poured into the elevator shaft. And as ones eyes got used to the light they might quickly recognize that this room was filled from one side to the other with machines. Computers, factory parts, and so many wires that it was litteraly like a technological jungle. You might almost expect a robot monkey or some such to swing by. But there was no monkey only the constant whirring of hundreds of machines, and far across the room...a man say in what looked like a coffin with a window, only it was wide open and there was a naked and bald man sitting in it. Thats right...a naked man. A man with a nice black suit hanging on a single hanger directly next to his pod. But he wasnt moving, and he wasnted dressed.::

Tch...

::Mary said in a somewhat annoyed voice as she stepped forward, causing the elevator doors to shut behind her, she worked her way through the wirey jungle and finally reaching the "sleeping" man. She checked a few devices near him and finally knocked on his forehead. Of course she got no reaction what so ever so she called out, just above the sound of machinery.::

Marcel! Come help me lift him.

::The lumbering giant thundered to the body of the man, again with the elevator doors shutting behind him, and the two began to lift. Marcel grabbed his feet, and Mary grabbed his head, and his suit over her shoulder. It would indeed take two people because M4X weighted just about 350lbs. Of course as they walked Marcel stepped backwards into the elevator and Mary stepped forward, and of course, the three of them, Marcel, Mary, and M4X, still managed to miss noticing Madi.

Finally Mary pressed the "L" Button on the elevator, and the elevator began its long haul upwards, now moving several times slower. Whilst the duo continued to rock, and laid M4X against the wall in front of them like one would lean a mop, or a stick.::

::Nothing. No reaction. From anyone in the elevator...though some would wonder about what Madi's mother would think about her poking a naked, and anatomically correct android. But thats a completely other story all together.

Time flies when your having fun...especially with naked people. And in no time they the elevator had reached its fourth and final stop Again there was that familar ding, and the doors cracked open to reveal...A lobby! Mary and Marcel lugged M4X out into the lobby without really saying much of anything at all. But the moment they left the elevator door slammed shut again.

They layed M4X onto the floor, dressed him, and then Mary gave him a strange injection in the back of the head with some sort of silver liquid. Almost immediately his eyes opened and a purple glow filled them. He looked to Mary, then to Marcel, and then rose without a single word being shared between the three of them. And not a one look back to the elevator.

As M4X worked his way to his feet, the trio worked their way to a coat rack which stood beside the door. There were 3 coats hanging from it. One nurses jacket with extra fur and fluff around the neck. The other was a long furry lab coat. And finally was a cute white hoody covered in fluffy white, with two fluffy white bunny ears on the hood. Only from the inside would someone notice that the ears in the hood were actually slows for actual ears to fit into.

Next to the coats were boots and gloves, again there were 3 sets. A pair of stitched boots that looked like they were made of various skins, which Mary put on along with the furry nurses jacket, and matching fuzzy gloves with red cross patches on the back of the gloves. The second set was long and black with matching black gloves, and third was white, and big to fit large feet. It looked like bunny feet, and had a pair of matching white fuzzy mittens.

It was obvious who the 3rd set was for...

About this time the elevator doors opened, giving Madi just enough time to see Marcel holdin open the front door and Mary and M4X walking through against a huge gust of snow.::

SLAM

::The sound of steel slaming against steel at 43mphs.::

CLACK.

::The sound of a myriad of support bars locking the shut door...shut. And then there in the dead of night there was silence. A deafening silence, as the weather again seemed to display a conciosness of its own. The wind stopped and the snow fell by gravities pull alone. There in the dark, in the sea of white. When Madison exited her dream world. She might realize she was all alone.

As minutes, passed, first 10, then 20, she might realize, Mary, Marcel and M4X were not coming back.

After a half an hour or so of silence....the snow would fade and Madi would likely see the small object sitting in the distance half covered in snow. The object had an obvious piece of black paper attached to it.

As Madi got close it would be revealed to be vehicle of some sort. It had two pedals, one for acceleration, one for break. It had a large red button which read GO and another which red STOP. It looked like a sort of crazy bike without the pedals. An the paper on it red, it red ink "Go Home..."

And despite how long it had been, several green tears had crystalized to its surface. The message was clear.::

She did not move, nor did she spoke. After the doors closing, she felt a sinking feeling inside her. Her eyes felt warm and her vision went glazed, she completely understood what they were saying...she had felt it many times before. Her attention was soon caught on the strange contraption, She didn't seem to really care what it was.

Go Home? Where would that be? Thought the young rabbit as the wind began to pick up behind her. The cool wind began to send a deadly chill down her spine. With a sigh she looked back at the Black Hospital.

Silent.

There was so much she wanted to say to The Doctor, to Mary, to Marcel, even to M4X but she knew that she couldn't. Though...if she was lucky, she would see them again. She could only wish, for she wasn't exactly a fortune teller. Madison slowly climbed into the machine and looked at it again, she didn' say much. Her paw slowly moved to the large green button. With a long deep breath, she leaned foreward and pressed the button, causing the bike to go foreward.

Thank you...I hope we'll meeting again someday...Doctor...
