Chapter 11

Beef hating doing butchery work. He hated the amount of blood animals produced, the feeling of the fat as he hacked it off, the tediousness of deboning a creature. But Guude had told him he had to work here, no one else knew how to. And he didn't want everyone to starve, now did he. And like the kind person he was, he agreed to work for Guude.

He woke up every morning at 5am. BDoubleO would arrive with a nameless villager, arriving in a large truck filled with a fresh shipment. He'd unload the truck while BDoubleO watched, carefully to not let any blood get on his sharp suit. Once he was done, BDoubleO would leave him to his work.

And he hated it. No one to talk about, and the work was physically and mentally demanding enough to keep his mind from daydreaming. At 5pm BDoubleO would come back with a different truck and a different villager, although Beef couldn't tell, maybe it was the same villager, they all just seemed so lifeless, and load the truck with the finished product. Then Beef would get a few hours of respite sleeping, dreams filled with chicken carcasses and pork chops and faint whispering sounds and jerking awake panting for breathe. And then his day would restart.

Except today.

BDoubleO came alone, silently. He stared at Beef, his face flat, emotionless. Beef wiped his hands on his apron, frowning at BDoubleO. “Where's the truck?” Beef said, unsure what else to say. BDoubleO closed his eyes, sighing softly. “We need to talk,” BDoubleO said as he ushered Beef back into the building, the two of them sitting down on a pair of ratty chairs. BDoubleO frowned as he sat down, the look of disappointment in ruining his suit evident.

“What's up boss?” Beef said, frowning at BDoubleO. BDoubleO leaned back in the chair as he stared at Beef.

“Pause tried to kill Guude. Pause is dead. Thought you'd want to know.” BDoubleO said flatly, expressionless. Beef blinked, shaking his head. “Stop being an ass. Why are you here?” BDoubleO continued to stare at Beef. “Pause tried to kill Guude, Pause is dead,” he said again, quietly.

Beef clenched his hands, looking away from BDoubleO. “Why would you say that? Why would you tell me that?” Beef said, starting to shake. “Because I thought you should know.” BDoubleO said calmly. “You can have the day off. I'll see you tomorrow.” Beef heard BDoubleO get up and sigh at the state of his suit, before the door quietly clicked, locking.

Beef stared down at his hands, unmoving, unspeaking.

Darkness. Falling. Leathery wings. Cuts, claws. Burning pain pain whispered words. Darkness.

Sound filtered in slowly, but the darkness remained.

“...so we can't kill him. Understand, hm?” A voice said sternly. A muffled reply came, too quiet to hear.

“No, because if he dies we have to ship him off to Beef. And if we're going to do that, I want to be there to see the psychological and physiological reactions to that. But since we won't be allowed to be there, I'd rather keep him alive and experiment on him as long as possible, hm! Oh, it looks like he might be awake, hmhm.” A sudden hand tapped at his head, causing him to wince.

“Why can't I see?” He managed to croak out. A heavy German voice spoke, amused. “The flying creatures, they like eyeballs maybe? Or maybe you aren't trying hard enough. Regardless, it looks like you won't be hunting again, will you?” ...Doc? “Doc? What's happening?” He said weakly.

He shouted in shock and pain as one of the two started sticking him with needles, the other voice snorting in amusement. “Relax. We aren't testing pain tolerance today, the medicine will help you feel better.” He felt himself float away, the voices flowing and ebbing as everything for once felt peaceful and calm.

“Too bad for you it won't last long, heh. Give me that scalpel, will you?” The voices disappeared as sudden pressure increased on his abdomen. He was infinitely glad at whatever they had given him, he didn't want to know what they were doing.

Guude had lied about letting MC and Millbee go back to Woolopolis. Or he had changed his mind. He had come in when they were about to leave, whispering something in Millbee's ear, causing Millbee to tremble and collapse. He then turned to MC, his eyes dark and cold, daring him to ask questions. MC blanched, scared to say anything as he leaned down to pick up Millbee. Guude had turned and left, leaving in a whirl of unanswered questions.

MC was unsure what to do, other then hold a sobbing Millbee who wasn't answering any questions. MC felt lost and alone, confused. He continued to hold onto him as Millbee cried himself to sleep, MC falling asleep after he heard Millbee snoring quietly.

Oh, you. A new chapter so soon is awesome, but oh dear. What have you done?
I'm literally speechless now - absolutely speechless.

Speechless is good, but man, poor Beef.
And am I the only one who thinks the guy who can't see is Pause?

I thought it was quite obvious it's supposed to be Pause. Which makes the line about sending him to Beef if he dies all the more evil.

Though speaking of that line, Beef's chopping up meat for food, right. So the implications of sending dead people to him... They're really going to make him chop him up and cook him into meat pies Sweeney Todd style? The depravity of that thought made that my favorite part of the chapter.

Well yes, that goes without saying. It wouldn't be nearly as poignant if they didn't have a history together.
