"This Twitter thing is soooooooo fun! Like, Oh Em Jay! I'm gunna post another one of your dirty little secrets, okay? Ok." Tenya giggled as she bounced down the hallway, orange hair swinging side to side with each step. Otto followed behind, rolling his eyes and stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"Whatever keeps ya occupied." He mumbled tiredly. He knew she would be a handful, but this was crazy. At least she was so enthralled with reading the Twitter feed she didn't have the attention concentrated anywhere else.
"Awwww are you sure? Cause like.. what if it's super embarrassing?" She asked with a wide and toothy grin.
Otto shrugged. "Doooon't care."
"Mmmkay~ Otto... sleeps... with a.... teddy bear---"
"TENYA!!!"

It wasn't his fault, all he had said was the obvious. If people touched each other in the butt too much, then clearly they would develop a bad case of the Homo. The doppleganger golem grumbled and muttered something about evil mom bosses and possibly tainted humans as he turned another corner. The conversation not even five minutes ago had gone something like this:
"Are you sure you remember how to get to the dorm rooms?" Allan kneeled down to his weapon just to double check.
"I'm not a kid, okay, of course I know!" Noah had snapped back, crossing his arm and giving off not a kid vibes. The whole cafeteria situation hadn't gone down too well, and he still wasn't too sure why the evil Mom Boss was still wandering around. "You go do what you need, I'll meet up with you back in the room upstairs, I've only seen it eleventy-bajillion times."
"Alright," the Sun lead agreed amicably, ruffling Noah's hair (yet again), "We still have our daily One Piece marathon, wouldn't want you to miss it. I count on you as a-"
"Nakama, I know." The weapon pretty much repeated the word in unison before putting one hand to his chest and making an X mark. "I cross my kokoro and hope to die, and promise promise promise promise promise I wont get lost."
Five minutes later he was totally lost.
Well, to be fair he could have asked for directions but that would involve talking to people. And they might still be infecting with lingering remains of Homo. Ew, and nope. Nope nope. He got this. He totally had this. He-
-"Mrph!"
- Just ran into something extremely squishy and slightly orange.

"Eep!" Tenya squeaked, dropping Otto's phone, much to his dismay, a cry leaving Otto's throat. "My phone!""My boobs!" Tenya called out after, finding a small head nestled underneath them. "Oh, it's a scareling!" She smiled widely, and cupped the child's cheeks, tilting his head up to face her. Blue lips pulled into a grin, the drop bear squealing at the sight. "It is so precious! I wish to keep it as my own! Ottoooooo? Can I keep hiiiiim?"Otto picked up his phone, checking for cracks or damage. Lucky for him, he was pretty sure these things were built to take damage. "Huh?" He looked over, narrowing his icy blue gaze. "No. Put it back where you found it.""But I found it in my---"

"Mrph!" The 'lost scareling' insisted, as they waved their arms around stupidly. Extremely angry green eyes stared back. "What was that for!"
He practically started flailing again as Tenya insisted on cooing over him before trying his best to tear himself away from Mom Boss Version Two. "Look, did you get sent here? Because I am totally not lost and I was just surveying the area, making sure there weren't any hidden booby traps in this area and not lost." Upon seeing Otto's glowering, the kid glowered back. "What are you looking at, ugly?"

Tenya watched the little spitfire with a look of awe, which soon turned into a condescending 'awwwwww' of adoration. "You are SO lost, tiny one." Tenya coo'd, ruffling his hair and then pulling him against her.
Otto scoffed, turning red in the face. "I-I ain't ugly, you little s**t!" Otto yelped, his fists balling at his sides. Am I? He added mentally.
"Awwwww Otto~ Don't fight with a little scareling~ Doesn't he remind you of yourself? Even a li---"
"NO!!!"
"So~ Keeping us safe from traps?" Tenya asked, looking down at the cute little ragamuffin. "You're so brave! Can we help?"

"There are plenty of secret traps around Deus, like did you know that the Life Labs once installed a giant alligator pit all around their walls once, though it did absolutely nothing to ward us off, those sillies. Yes, well I am rather brave, and I am exploring so I guess you can help but-"
A lightbulb went off: first he had to get rid of the ugly Hunter dude. Noah put on his cutest, most innocent face, and possibly batted his eyelashes a few times. "What does 's**t' mean?" Insert some more innocent staring right at Tenya.

"Oh wow! You know so much!" Tenya coo'd, smiling ear to fuzzy ear. Otto rolled his eyes, huffing indignantly. "What's your name? My name is Tenya! And that's Otto~" She asked, kneeling so she could be on his level.
The dropbear gasped at the cute act the boil was playing, looking to Otto with a horrified face. "Don't swear in front of the scareling!" She scolded, earning a flat, pissed off glare from Otto. He lifted his middle finger.
"Eeeek! Don't do that!" Tenya covered Noah's eyes with her hand.
"Tenya, he's probably one of the weapon golems. Ain't like he's actually innocent."
"Um. Scuse me? Have you SEEN this face!?" She asked, cupping the boil's cheeks in both hands.

In response, Noah gave Otto the smuggest smile after the eyes-covering thing and then batted his eyelashes again as he looked right up at Tenya. He shyly moved to behind the drop bear golem. "I don't like him, he's really scary."
Insert a quick glance at Otto before he scooted back behind Tenya. "And he probably still sleeps with a night light on."

Tenya coo'd as the boil hid behind her, giving Otto a puffy cheeked glare. "See? You're scaring him. Don't worry, kiddo~ He's a softie under all that sass." She insisted. Otto's temple veins were beginning to bulge, his eyes twitching angrily.
"NIGHT LIGHT!? As if, bra---" He yelled defensively, interrupted by Tenya. "Oh he totally does!" She responded with a giggle. "Tenya!!" He yelped in a shrill, cracked voice. The dropbear, wrapped her arms under the scareling and hoisted her up, balancing him on her hip.

The 'brat' wrapped both arms slightly around Tenya's waist and decided he rather liked this new minion. "Now," He began, very instructional and serious, "We have to go search for the first trap, it is very important. It is located in a mysterious place called the- the dormitories." That's right, let his new minion lead them to his meeting spot. "There is a safeguard right in the dorms. Several safeguards. Several dangerous ones that need to be disabled immediately."
Noah deftly clambered right onto Tenya's shoulders. "It'll be an adventure! I think people who sleep with night lights should stay right here and guard the post." More smug smile.

Tenya Oooh'd and Aww'd at the instructions she was given, letting the boil crawl around her as he saw fit. Otto was a twitching ball of blonde fury. "Dorms are msyterious? Gimme a break.." Otto muttered with an eye roll. "A can of sardines is more mysterious than the damn dorms."Tenya, however, was giving into every whim the boil had. "Oh, sorry Otto! He says that you can't go---""I ain't leavin' my weapon in the hands of a baby!" Seriously, it was like the kid was trying to get rid of him--- .... .oh that little s**t. He was like those little boys that got attached to their babysitters and tried to keep them to themselves. .....What are you talking about? Of course he never had that problem! BECKY WAS JUST HIS, OKAY!? She didn't deserve that dumb boyfriend she brought ov--- "Well, kiddo. You know so much bout this place, why don't you lead us to the quickest route to the dorms?" He said with a snarky smirk. Tenya seemed confused.

"Oh sure," the kid replied rather glibly, whispering very loudly to Tenya's ear "I think your Hunter is just scared, don't worry we'll take the secret route with the least scary things."
Eventually things would work itself out, and if not, at least he had a free ride. It was a win-win situation really. "Okay." Noah pointed to some entirely random direction. "First we have to take the stairs up, all the way up to the top of the headquarters, because that way we can get a good look at where everything is."
Pause. "Adventure away!!"

Otto's eye twitches again, his arms folding across his chest, hands tightly gripping his baggy sleeves. I want to kill him. Tenya giggled. "Don't be scaaaaared, Otto~ We'll lead the way~. Gee kiddo, you're so nice!" Tenya headed up the stairs, a disgruntled and grouchy Otto following far behind. "Adventuuuuure~!!! Let's sing the adventure song!""Oh no... not the Adventure song...""Aaaaaaaadventure is fun~♪ Adventure is great~♪ Climbing the stairs to VICT-OR-Y~♪" Tenya sang loudly, obscenly. Annoyingly. Otto took out some earplugs from his pocket.

Noah had never actually heard this song before, but he assumed it was just the same as when Allan sometimes Made Up Songs while in the shower. Or not in the shower. Or anywhere really. He absently sang along, swung his feet a few times, and pointed random directions like "This way!" or "Down this hall!" or even "Up this set of stairs, I'm certain!"
Ten minutes later found them up and down twenty sets of stairs and a good portion of the main hallway. They had also managed to discover several hidden and highly impractical passageways that seemed to wind all the way underground, loop around all of Deus Ex, and back up again.
"I think we're super super close." The doppleganger whispered to Tenya cheerfully.

No... no they were both singing... why were they both singing?! Tenya, however, was so happy someone was finally playing along with her. Otto rarely did. Except that one time he'd had a lot of sugar. And so they explored. Stairs Stairs Stairs, halls, more stairs. By the time Noah decided they were super close? Otto was practically collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Tenya tsked, still standing strong with a small child on her shoulders. "Geeeez Otto, you need to like... work on your cardio, yaknow?""Why'd they even have half'a them passages? Why the stairs.. why so many goddamn stairs..." Otto drawled, practically crawling after Tenya. "I'm startin' to think he's just ********' LOST!"And now he was too. Maybe.
