Sunny In Cleveland, Part 5: Fear of the Dark

>You're not sure what's worse
>Suffocating under shit-caked fluffballs, or being eaten by them
"Alright...Sun, you need to be VERY quiet...and what's your name?"
"Jennifer."
"Alright, Jennifer. We're in deep shit right now. The fluffies in here with us are Cannibal FLuffies."
"What? What are those...?"
"They eat meat. They're smart. And we're down here with them."
"Oh, God...Oh my God...No no no no..."
>She starts crying
>You put a finger to your lips, signalling her to be quiet
>You think back to that Jurassic Park scene
>Yep. The one with the raptors
"Listen. We'll be fine if we stay calm. Remember, they're fluffies. They're very fragile."
"But..."
"But nothing. If you see ANY down here besides Sun, kick them. Hard."
"Alright..."
"And DO NOT let them surround you. These things can and will kill you if they get into a big enough group."
>With that, you set off
>You tell Sunsplash to kill the light
>You don't want any fluffies to get the jump on you
>Feeling around in the dark isn't the best, but it's better than being dead
>Soon enough, your eyes adjust
"How much farther?"
"I'm not sure...I've never actually been down here."
"Shit..."
>You hear some movement
"Pway...wan pway wif fwuffy...?"
>Jesus that's creepy
"Hewwo new fwend! Mah name is-NUUU WHY HUWT FWU-ACK..."
"New fwend make good nummies"
"Oh my God...did they-"
"Yeah, they did."
"What do we do?"
"Wah...? Wah noise? Foodies?"
>Shit
>They heard her
"We run."
"But-"
"I SAID RUN!"
>You grab Sunsplash in one hand and Jennifer with the other
>You run through the tunnel system for minutes on end
>Dead end after dead end halts your progress
>With each one, you hear the cannibal herd getting closer
"Wan pway wif new fwends..."
>You turn a corner and are greeted by exactly what you didn't want to see
>About 3 dozen pairs of eyes
>They're all staring right at you
>You freeze in your tracks
"Shit...shit shit shit...Jen, start backing away."
"Alright..."
>She barely gets two steps before the eyes are joined by jagged smiles
>The fluffies' teeth look broken, but sharp
"New fwends nu go...jus wan pway."
>They begin advancing
"On 3, turn and run. 1...2..."
>You turn around and grab Jennifer's wrist
"THREE!"
"NU! NUMMIES NU WUN FWOM FWUFFIES!"
>You run through the dark tunnels, trying to avoid dead ends
>As you round another corner, your fears are realized
"Shit, there's no way out..."
"Oh my God, no..."
>You hear the herd assemble behind you
>You feel around the walls for something, anything that will get you out
"Any ideas, Jen?"
>She's just sitting in the corner, sobbing
>You can't blame her
>As far as you can tell, you're as good as dead
>And it will hurt
>Wait...
>Where's Sunsplash?
"Sun...Sunsplash!?"
"Hewe, daddeh!"
>She's hiding under some wooden pallets
>You move the wood to give her one last hug when you see it
>There's a trapdor
"JEN! OVER HERE NOW!"
>You tear the hatch open, grab her, and jump down
>You slam the door shut just as the fluffies lunge at where you were not a moment ago
>You can hear them above
"Fwuffy vewy hungy...wan nummies..."
>You move into the dark room
"Find some lights...this place is different from those tunnels. They should work here."
>You and Jennifer feel around the walls for a bit
>You silently pray that there's no more fluffies down here
>The only fluffy you ever want to see again is Sunsplash
"Hey, I found a switch!"
"Great! Flip it on!"
>Jennifer turns the lights on
>As the room is illuminated, you begin to wish the Cannibal Fluffies were your only problem
>In the center of the room is one of Spaghetti Tower's main support beams
>And it's covered in explosives
