Ashe couldn't help herself. She chuckled and laughed like a dork at all of the other girls' remarks. Even Chell's bad joke! She didn't seem to mind being touched either, posing for Daisy's affection. The Pokemon Butcher was doing plenty of rough handling from within, and Daisy was gentle in comparison. She couldn't help but smirk and snicker at the teasing, unable to resist the urge to crack a laugh at the sheer absurdity of the situation, a little gasp of shock escaping her as The Pokemon Butcher kicked and punched back at Daisy's caressing hand. "How can I not be proud? You girls are the best. I love you both" a cheery Ashe gushed, glowing with appreciation from the pink of her cheeks to the excited bounce in her step. She looked so delightfully happy, this big radiant smile on her face in spite of all the struggling in her tummy, and the muffled protests. It was a very beautiful, cute look on her that made it hard not to smile a little with her. She then took a moment to affectionately pull Chell and Daisy in for hugs. They might feel a little kick from down under in the process, but it was so weak it was more of an alien curiosity or distraction than anything else. "As for you... You can come out in... 24 hours? Give or take?" Ashe remarked. "Wh-What?? You are not making me sit through your entire digestive tract!" the muffled voice replied. Ashe shrugged. "...Well you've gotta be born sometime~! Plus, I don't think you're going to be awake for a lot of it anyway. Next time you wake up it'll be in a jail cell." Ashe sassily replied. "Grr... What do you think I'm going to call you Mama or something? It's not happening!" the pokemon butcher complained in frustration. "Uuuh... I'unno. That seems pretty fair to me. It reminds me of those movies where a boy makes another boy cry uncle when they fight. This is basically the same thing, only more appropriate to the situation! Maybe I cna take it easy on you if you say it~ That's fair, right?" Ashe playfully teased the butcher, asking Daisy and Chell their thoughts. "I guess it's pretty weird. But I'm having fun~! She can't hurt anyone in there, and she's probably safer in there anyway. I bet there are a few trainers that would love to be locked up with her. She's got her own private safe space!" Ashe remarked.

"Huh? Oh, Model A is pretty cool. He's basically one of my besties! Alongside you girls of course. We talk and he comments a lot on everything that's going on. He's usually a little sassy." Ashe explained with a chuckle, only to look down at her sailor fuku uniform and ponder the second question asked of her. "...Y'know I'm not sure! Maybe I wear this outfit so much my ability to hear Model A rubbed off on her. I never thouht about it before, but I guess the ability to hear him is in my DNA, and my DNA is all over my outfit..." Ashe mused aloud. She'd entirely missed that! It made her wonder if there were other ways to transfer her ability to hear Model A. Ashe decided to give Daisy's hand a light squeeze, smiling at her reassuringly. Well someone had to answer her, at least.

The group comes across the threatre. It sells them some big drinks at a hiked up price as usual, with Ashe eagerly paying for them before leading them inside. The screens advertising the threatre stated that it was a special silent movie night at the theatre, with tickets discounted to attract more customers. You had to imagine some people would be turned away by the premise of such an old movie, so it was probably necessary.

"Well, if she's in you and does not want to call you mama, I guess that makes it food then. If it does cry mama then I guess a baby does need protecting.  Doesn't matter much to me. Personally even I would slam her pretty hard right now," Chell shrugged.... Chell, you have slammed people for much less. "... So your DNA got off on the clothes and that allows her to... Nevermind. We are here to have fun. Not be concerned with the differences in how worlds consider DNA," the woman relented before walking with the group. "... Oh, yeah, our clothes are... magic or something. Either way, they seem to be as sentient as us... To a degree," the woman explained. "... What's that supposed to mean?" Chell's sailor uniform seemed to furl a bit. "... Oh yeah, The Enemy has been Unified," the woman went on to state before her outfit shimmered and turned back to normal.

"... As cute as the outfit may be, I am not sure I want to... fight how I do in a skirt," she shrugged as they reached the theater.

"... Oh hey, it's a silent movie. I haven't seen one of those in ages... I kind of liked them. Most may find it boring but... sometimes you need to let movies speak for themselves and not the actors I guess," Chell stated.. oddly critically for her normal statements. "Either way it's cheap which is a benefit to being unpopular in a sense I suppose.... Alright, let's see who wants to ruin the show," she went on to state, being fully aware this mall had... almost no normal moments. She never expected getting to watch the movie to be honest.

[TartoonHand94]

Daisy couldn’t help catching Ashe’s contagious laughter. She envied how proud and content she looked after her meal of justice, but at the same time, she couldn’t help being more so proud of her.
“Aw look at you, you’re glowing~” Daisy giggled upon receiving a surprise hug from Ashe. “Coochie coochie coo-Ow! Hey!” She took the opportunity to attempt to tickle her with her gentle hand before receiving a swift kick in response.
“Lucky for her Sarasaland doesn’t believe in Corporal Punishment anymore…” Daisy scolded with an exaggerated pout which soon became a sinister grin. “Maybe We’ll take it easy on you if you call her Mama~.” She threatened with a soft but deep poke into Ashe’s tummy. “We have ways of making you talk~!” Of course, she had no intention of punishing her any less for her crimes, but this kind of torture seemed like too much fun to pass up.

“Since they’re all the rage, maybe I should shop around for some talking clothes after the movie.” Speaking of talking. “It might be nice to have someone answer honestly if this skirt makes my butt look big.” She mused with a giggle.

“Wait a minute…did that sign say Silent movie?” Daisy did a take and asked after almost spitting out her sip. “…As in not just black and white?” She blinked again. “…Huh.” She didn’t want to be rude, but she hadn’t consciously signed up for this. A silent movie sounded so…Boring to her. Even video games had fully musical, sound affected, and voice acted cutscenes. And they were going to see a black and white reel with none of that?
And then Chell said something that light a light behind Daisy’s eyes.
“Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?” She shrugged innocently. Knowing this mall, there was bound to be Something up with this movie that’ll raise a racket. This premonition came to her more as a relief than anything else. Just like the way every sport becomes much bigger and insane in the Mushroom Kingdom, even watching a movie at this mall could yield an unforgettable experience.
“Hurry ladies, Let’s get the good seats!” Daisy lead the charge into the cinema.

[Mari]

Ashe giggled and squirmed as Daisy tickled her, staggering slightly as her newfound weight almost made her lose her balance. "I-I'm older than her!" the butcher's muffled voice protested. "I may be younger, but I bet I'm a better mom." Ashe retorted. "That's ridiculous!" the butcher venomously replied. "I know not to stab children." Ashe dissed rather sharply, eliciting a moment of silence from within.  "...Well--We got ours from a magic talking golem made of clothes. I'm not sure if they sell them normally, but if you wait around enough I bet another one will pop up to cause trouble." Ashe remarked rather light-heartedly.

Eventually, the girls made their way to the theatre. Ashe seemed to have a hard time not smiling every time her prisoner squirmed and kicked, idly laying a hand on her stomach wherever the kicking was focused as she sat down to watch. And what great seats they got! Right in the middle. Not so close where they had a hard time seeing the entire screen and not so far that the audio began to taper out past its prime. Ashe lightly sipped at her drink, tuning out from the world around. The theatre wasn't too crowded, but surprisingly they were far from the only people there. It was about half full. The movie began, a projector displaying a somewhat faded image on a white backdrop screen. ...Man this wasn't top of the line tech in anybody's world. Regardless, they found themselves watching...

Ashe furrowed her brows. It took her a moment to realize what was wrong. "...This isn't a silent movie." Ashe quietly remarked. What gave? Listening further though, Ashe noticed the crudeness and the somewhat awkward timing of the sound effects. It suddenly occurred to her that it sounded almost as if someone had edited those sounds into the movie in post. ...Oooh, so it had been a silent movie, but now it had an overlay of sound! ...Weird. As the short went on though, it abruptly began to flicker and freeze! A shrill scream could be heard, and for a moment Ashe thought it was a movie sound effect. It was coming from the projector room after all, just like the rest of them. ...But... the screen was frozen. Why would there be a scream? Did the little devil kid get spooked by a skeleton real bad?? Before Ashe could put two and two together, other people in the room started to scream. Suddenly people were lunging out of their seats and panicking. Ashe got up, but nearly got knocked over the seat in front of her by a flailing arm. She could hardly see over the crowd. But when she did, she got a vision of something terrible.

Out of the small hole in the projector room, a thick black ... 'ooze' was pouring out onto the floor, creating a puddle that blocked the exit. People were trying to get past it, yet they sunk into the inky ooze as if it were a bottomless bog vanishing with startled cries, only to be replaced with horrible inky monsters that rose from the depths, their vaguely humanoid figures twisted as if they'd been maimed. The lights began to output a sickly sepia brown as ink crept across the ceiling and covered them, casting the room in amber light in which the human eye could hardly perceive color any longer. These ink monsters, in turn, began attacking other movie goers. Ashe's face paled as she witnessed people's bodies all but disintegrating at the touch of these ink monsters, flesh and bone melting away and being absorbed into the steadily growing ink puddle creeping across the floor toward them. In the amber light, she could no longer tell what was ink and what was blood. They both looked black as night. Ashe recoiled, a scream welling up in her throat. She stifled it, attempting to wrestle control back over her feelings. Those people weren't being trophified. They were dying! Ashe felt sick to her stomach, which was unfortunate considering the circumstances. From the depths of the puddle's origin, right underneath where the projector window still dripped, rose a particularly tall and imposing figure. His proportions were entirely off, like something between a man and... ...Why did he look familiar?

((Everyone! Roll 20+ INT not to be afflicted with horrified!))

Ashe was frozen in place, unable to focus on the world around her as she tunnel visioned in on the monster before her. She couldn't think. She couldn't breathe. And soon, the monsters would turn on them.

"Well, they were a thing in my world at least at one point... Not sure how dated they are by my time..." the girl muttered. She was asleep for a really long time so the moderness of her world was never one she could truly adapt to... Especially in the state it was outside Aperature. Chell sat down next to Ashe and looked to the movie screen... Now, this movie looked like it was from the 20's, maybe early 30's according to what she knew of early cartoons. Although, even aside from the audio editing, something felt off to her. Something wasn't right, and she stood up as she knew something was wrong with that scream. That scream was beyond the other sound effects in this short, it wasn't the same quality so either they got lazy or, it was real.

.... This, this was not right. This, this monster came out of the projector room and was turning people into it or something like it... This monster that resembled the cartoon mascot but more... horrific. As she stepped back she could feel her chest tighten, her eyes dart around. Every survival instinct in her body was going off at this mess. She could not stay here but she couldn't risk touching these things! She was powerless on her own! She had to use her strength to stop them or slow them after all. The Projector Room, while she could probably make a portal to was where it came from. There was no telling what was in that room... Still, she couldn't sit back and do nothing. With a swift pull she grabbed a Freezie out of her pocket and threw it at the big one in an attempt to keep it at bay by freezing it solid.

p_1d20+2(Freezie on Bendy, deals 6% damage but guarentees to freeze)

She then pulled out a block attached to a stick and clicked a button causing 4 fireballs to sprout from the bar. She quickly used this to slam down one of the ink monsters so it hopefully does not cause them any problems while the main one is frozen solid.

p_1d20+2(Fire Bar 1, 24% damage on an ink monster other than Bendy, 3 uses left)

p_1d20+2(Fire Bar 2, ditto on the same)

She then jumped back to get some distance and breathed heavily as she was clearly very tense right now. "Ashe, Princess, do you have any ideas on how to get out of here? I am not sure how much the Portal Gun can help, ugh, I really should of considered placing one outside just in case..." she requested as she still looked around with her eyes but in her current panicked state she might not get anywhere with it.

“Well maybe on the way back, if a place is still open, I’ll treat you to some maternity wear.” Daisy winked at Ashe, taking one last affectionate caress of her belly. “Consider it a baby gift~.” She cooed, much to the Butcher’s humiliation.

“…Man. Our grandparents had it rough.” Daisy whispered to Ashe and Chell. Did it really matter if you talked in the theater during a silent movie? “But this old black and white stuff has a charm all of its own.” She mused, recognizing some pantomime techniques still being used to this day. “That little Bendy fellow’s kinda cute.” She giggled, quietly comparing him to a Waddle Dee. “Sometimes you don’t need color, or advanced stuff like dual speakers or 3D after all.” She shrugged in vindicating agreement with Chell.
“The sound might be generally basic, but at it could at least gain what we’re watching.” Daisy still felt fit to complain. And then the scream came. “See? Like That!” Daisy threw a hand up before hearing more screams that didn’t match the picture. Wait those weren’t from the movie… The screen was frozen!

Looking back at the projector room, Daisy realized this show was shifting genres into horror. And she wasn’t going to ask for her money back. Here we go! Where ordinary meets extraordinary and an evening out meets adventure! “Where’s Mario’s FLUDD pack when you need it?” She asked as the thick black ooze seeped down the projector window. Realizing what the goop was doing to her fellow patrons made her immediately regret that quip but want the water pump even more.

(80KXxonsp_1d20+1 Daisy's Horrified Resistance)

Daisy’s lips trembled as she began hyper ventilating. If she had paid to see a horror movie, she had gotten more than her coin’s worth. This wasn’t just some run of the mill goop monster, this was…otherworldly! It was demonic! Most importantly it was deadly to the touch! She hadn’t known terror like this since the black and green decor of Tatanga’s ship.
But she swore to herself that was going to happen again, and she was not going to back down from something like this no matter how scary it was.

The obvious problem, however, was that touching it was the worst idea and Daisy specialized in close quarters combat. She had no choice now but to shoot it. Plucking a Superball Flower from her purse, she took aim and shot black back at black.

Digging in her purse a second time, she pulled out a full-grown Vegetable. Was she?... Going to eat that? Or did she bring that from home just to throw it at someone?

“Ashe! Chell! We gotta find a way out of here!” Daisy regained her ability to speak to alert Ashe and Chell of what she was sure they already knew.
“But how?” She didn’t ask this often, but what would Mario do?
“Got anything that can cleanse this demon out of our way?” She looked back and forth between Chell and Ashe. What would… Luigi do? If there was no way to fight, he’d find another way to flee.
“Oh maybe…Up there! Through the air vents!” She pointed up at the pipe-like air ducks that ventilated the cinema.

Bendy lurched forward and stretched a hand out, making a grab for ...Ashe! Ashe just kind of fumbled around with her gun for a moment, accidentally firing it off into the air as she struggled to ready it before cringing and screaming like the little girl she, strictly speaking, was! She knew that even if she fired off a shot at Bendy, it likely wouldn't stop him from grabbing her at that point.

...And then a freezie hit Bendy, stopping him in his tracks.

"...What?" the pokemon butcher asked, having only just heard Ashe's scream and felt her tense up rather hard around them. Ashe just kind of squirmed where she stood, staggering away to put some distance between herself and Bendy. Geez. She sure hoped they had a chance to use the restroom before they left the mall because she wasn't doing too well after a scare like that. She promptly moved to sorta awkwardly stand next to Daisy for comfort, blasting one of the ink monsters repeatedly as she passed to keep it from grabbing her.

"I don't know... What is this stuff??" Ashe replied, not really thinking too hard about their escape. The oozey ink could be observed running from the ceiling, partially obstructing the doorway exit. Soon, it began leaking from the air vents as well. The girls could try and somehow get past the ink in the doorway without getting any of it on their skin, but it would be a risky endeavor.

((Everyone! ...To escape the room, make a dex roll. If your roll is within 3 of a hidden number I've chosen, you'll succeed. The hidden number will be something over 5 and under 21.))

A panicking Ashe made another attempt to shoot one of the ink monsters lunging for them.

p_1d20+5 (Ashe's Buster Fire; Does 8% Damage)

Two picked off! ...This extra weight and fear weren't throwing off her aim that much. She was a great shot!

And Bendy was very strong. The ice around him could be heard shattering as he physically tore it away from his inky body, crushing it with his brute strength. In just another moment, he would be free and resume chasing them. Nearby, the sole remaining ink monster made a lunge for Chell and tried to slam into her!

...The girls ultimately fail to escape their fates. Faced with an incredible evil that does not flinch when shot or kicked, they are eventually overcome as the theater floods around them. Their last moments are spent simultaneously drowning and melting away in an inky abyss, quite possibly in Bendy's steely grasp while he held them down.

It is within this inky abyss that their consciousness remain, bodiless and floating about, until Bendy's eventual defeat by other heroes. Only then are their trophies recovered, after which they would probably require some magical intervention to heal the severe injuries they sustained before they could finally leave the hospital.
