(Some ground rules or head cannons I guess idk
The elevator exists and can randomly appear whenever it wants to.
Every floor is connected. For example you could walk all the way to splitsville to the funny maze floor without using the elevator
Splitsville is the name of the town where split lives, splitshow is the name of the little area the elevator stops on in the game where they host other things other than Obstacle courses.
Both bive and split are adults)
Splits POV:
I was walking down the street to the splitshow since I had nothing else to do. The sun shining through my glasses as I made my way down the street. I would eventually reach the building and head inside.
I sat In my usual spot and began to watch the show. Today, they were making their contestants for today compete in some obby. I would try and enroll into the gameshow but I'm not exactly the most athletic if you get what I mean. I looked at the spot next to me.
Empty like always.
I would sigh. It would be nice to have someone at my side and watch the show with me. It would be nice to have someone at my side at all times in general. however, I'm not the most social person.
I would pull out my notepad and start to doodle since the show was beginning to get boring. I would look around the bleachers and begin to doodle random people I saw, mostly people I found attractive.
As I was finishing up the facial features of one of the doodles I would hear a 'ding' and look up from my notepad to see an elevator had suddenly appeared to manifest into one of the walls?
I would rub my eyes as I continued to stare at the elevator. Was I dreaming?
The elevator doors would then open up to reveal a completely empty and seemingly normal elevator.
I looked around the crowd to see if anyone else was seeing this as well however everyone's attention was on the gameshow.
I got up from my seat and approached the mysterious elevator, stopping right at the doors. I peered inside for a split second.
No one inside.
I would gulp. Would it really be a good idea to enter a mysterious elevator that just appeared?
Id check my surroundings again and still no one was investigating this. Was I the only one seeing this? I checked my phone battery, it was at full percent, meaning if things went south I could call for help.
I'd take a big breath before stepping into the mysterious elevator as the doors closed behind me, sealing my fate.
Despite the fact this thing just appeared out of thin air, it looked like a regular elevator. It had a speaker playing music and some buttons.
I stepped up to the panel of buttons to see there were no number to represent the floors instead there were just infinity signs.
Weird....
I walked into one of the corners and laid my legs across the floor to sit down as I opened my phone again. There was no service and my clock was going haywire.
Shit
I put my phone back in my pocket as I began to fiddle with my hair to pass the time.
The elevator would abruptly stop with a loud crash, almost making me tip over. I would get up from the floor and approach the doors wondering where I would end up.
The doors would open to reveal a dimly lit office with a computer system on a desk and two entrances with buttons next to them on each side of the office, it was also dead quiet other than a small fan spinning on the desk.
I would step into the office and look around this new environment I found myself in. The telephone on the desk would suddenly begin to ring, making me jump.
I would look at the telephone before picking it up and bringing it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I asked with a shaky voice, still nervous.
A high pitch voice would begin speaking, contrasting the whole mood of this place.
"Hiya! I'm just leaving a quick message to get you settled on your first night"
"F-first night? What do you mean?"
The voice would continue to talk, ignoring my question.
"One of the most important things to bring up is that one of our monsters robots is on the loose and I'm pretty sure they wanna attack you so be on the lookout for that"
My eyes would go wide from the mention of a "monster robot wanting to attack you" my breath would begin to quicken as I worried about my safety. I'd also begin to regret stepping into this elevator.
"M-monster robot??? H-how do I make them NOT attack me?"
The voice would continue to ignore me as it kept going on.
"Anyways I'm gonna go to bed, toodles!"
"W-WAIT YOU CANT JUST LEAVE ME HE-
Click
"GOD DAMMIT!"
I'd drop the phone and begin to panic. Not only was I completely alone in an unfamiliar environment but I was now being hunted down by a killer robot.
I looked around the office to see if there was anything I could use to defend myself from this thing and found nothing.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
Id slowly started to accept my fate. Was this really the way I was gonna die? I was gonna get mailed to death by a killer robot, never to be seen again.
I'd suddenly hear footsteps right outside the office start to get louder, making me go pale.
This was it, this is how I die.
I'd huddle into one of the corners of the office and begin crying. There was no way a chubby snail like me was gonna win a fight against this mechanical beast.
I'd slam my fist against the wall, accidentally hitting 'LIGHT' button on the wall, lighting up the corridor to reveal a black figure with a giant crooked smile staring right through the windows, their hand on it as well.
I'd jump back from the creature outside, hitting my shell on the other wall and screaming at the top of my lungs.
The figure would quickly enter the office and cover my mouth, it's hand was warm and covered in fur.
"SHHHH THEY'LL HEAR YOU!"
Id slowly remove their hand from my mouth, still shaking from the sudden shock of seeing such a creature.
"H-who is they...?"
"There's no time to explain, just be quiet and-
The figure would go wide eyed and point at the other side of the office where the other entrance was.
I would look behind me to see a tall, dark red figure standing right outside the door, it's metallic skin shining in the small light from the office, its jaw opened wide to reveal a row of metal teeth.
I would scream again as the creature quickly slammed their fist against the 'DOOR' button, shutting it right on the red figure.
Both of us would quickly back away from the door as the robot would begin to pound on the door, making the entire office shake with every hit.
The digital alarm clock on the desk would begin to go off and the thing outside would retreat back into the darkness. The phone would begin to ring again.
I would immediately pick up the phone and bring it to my ear.
"Wow, you survived! I didn't expect y'all to survive so I didn't have the budget to pay y'all, but you can have this coupon for half a burger, and possibly a fry! See y'all next time!"
The phone would hang up as a coupon for the listed items would fall from the ceiling.
I would catch it and just look at it in my hands, not believing I just risked my life for half a burger.
The figure would gently tap my shoulder, I would turn around to face them.
"C'mon let's get out of this HELL"
I would slowly nod and follow the figure back into the elevator, both of us still shaking.
As we got back in the doors would shut again and the elevator music would continue.
I would look back at the figure since the dimly office didn't let me see a good look at them.
They were completely covered in fur, seemingly made out of it. They were wearing light brown pants and coat with fur around the collar. Their teeth were crooked but still shiny white to show a wide smile. They also had some spectacles with stains all over them. They also smelled like a Starbucks.
They would notice me looking at them and I would blush and look away, embarrassed I got caught.
"Are you SPYING on me?!"
"No no, I was just uhh... Looking around, taking in the environment!"
"Hm"
"So, what's your name?"
"How can I trust you?"
"What do you mean?"
"How do I know your not some SPY for the clown government?"
"I can assure you I'm not some spy I'm just a confused banana snail trying to find out where I am"
"Alright you seem innocent enough... I'm bive"
"Split, nice to meet you!"
Id hold out my hand and bive would shake it, I could feel her shaking.
"So uhmm where exactly are we?"
"I call this place 'THE REGRETAVATOR'"
"Uhmm, and why do you call it that?"
"Because you'll either end up dead, or leave regretting ever stepping foot in here"
