Trapped by the House of Tomorrow (Private RP with Danny)

[Curio]

As the Doors open automatically to the outside, the belt that holds us down, opens up. The pram is big enough for us to sit up, but as it moved through the door, it's just a bit fast to jump off.

It's still night, but we know that the sun will be up soon and the park will open, we need to get out of here before then. Thankfully it's a warm night, as we are wearing relatively little.

The pram trundles down a path and I peek out of the basket.

It's driving down a worn path and I can see the yard it's in is overgrown with weeds, it clearly hasn't been tended to.

As the pram turns a corner, I spy a tree by the hedge. It's branches have grown over the top of the hedge, giving us a potential way out.

""Psst, up there," I point to a low hanging branch. "Think we can jump up to it? If we're quick, we can be over the hedge before this thing knows what happened."

[Danny]

I bump up and down due to the journey. 

When I hear you, I just nod and get ready to jump on your command 

[Curio]

Getting ready, we wait until the pram passes under the branch.

"Jump now!"

We leap up from the pram...

[Danny]

Looks at you "now we just need to get out of these nappies" 

[Curio]

Pulling ourselves into the tree, we watch as the pram trundles on, oblivious to the fact we just escaped.

"We need to unlock these safety pins," I reply. "I think they locked us into these mitts and booties too."

From the tree we can see both sides of the hedge. On the other side from the overgrown garden we just escaped from, the hedge drops into the fairground proper. 

"What do you think? Should we go like this, or try to get out of these diapers first?"

[Danny]

Looks at you "we haven't got any clothing to change into. And no money or phones to let our parents know where we are"

[Curio]

"...fair point. But where would this place have taken our stuff?"

From our vantage point in the tree, we look along the side of the building. It looks like the 'House' is just part of a larger building, the different brickwork suggests that it was expanded on multiple times.

Just along from the overgrown yard, I see another garden. In it, are several long washing lines with large white sheets hanging off them.

"What about over there?" I say, pointing at the laundry lines. "If this place got our clothes, they might be washing them."

[Danny]

Looks at you and shrugs "maybe they've washed them. I don't know. We've been here like forever and I don't know where they would have put our clothes"

[Curio]

"Well...that looks like a good place to start, come on."

We carefully climb down from the tree, pausing to make sure the pram doesn't come back. When the coast is clear, we sneak along beside the hedge until we find a gap into the laundry yard.We can see that the laundry lines actually extend from the building, with opening back inside for each of them.

"Let's look for a way in."

[Danny]

Looks at you and nods "I guess so. I'll follow your lead again.  We need to be careful though" 

[Curio]

We start moving between the laundry lines, looking for an entrance. The lines just seem to be holding large white sheets, no clothes of any kind.

[Danny]

Looks at you and hopes that this isn't another trap "so what are we going to do?" 

[Curio]

"I don't know, but I think we need a way inside."

Suddenly, a smaller robot with a large laundry basket accidentally drives into us, causing us to fall into the basket. We haven't got time to react before one of the large sheets is dropped on top of us and we get tangled up in the fabric.

[Danny]

Looks at you and nods but isn't sure how we can..

I jump as I'm scooped up "hey what's the big idea! Seems everything here is a trap!" 

[Curio]

"No wonder this place got shut down!" I reply. 

The robot stuffs some more sheets into the basket, before trundling towards a wall. A hidden panel opens and it speeds inside.

Peeking out the basket, we see that we are in a huge laundry room, tanks of water are churned by large paddles, as laundry is washed, scrubbed and hung out to dry.

[Danny]

Looks at you and nods "it's the strangest place I've ever seen. It's never ending. We'll end up being here forever"

[Curio]

The basket is upended into one of the washing tanks and we fall in with a splash.

"PHPPPPPT!" I spit out some soapy water. "I thought these were clean?"

The paddles in the tank start to turn.

[Danny]

Looks at you "and I don't think they've realised that we're still wearing our nappies"

[Curio]

"I don't think they even know we're here!" I cry out.

Our nappies absorb the water from the tank, causing them to weigh us down as the water churns and swirls around us.

 

[Danny]

Looks at you and looks confused "what's going to happen now. I'm scared"

[Curio]

"I don't know, these things wont come off!" I cry.

Thankfully, the machine seems to notice that something is wrong, as an alarm rings and the tank stops churning.

Two sets of robotic hands reach in and lift us out by the seat of our sodden nappies, they toss us over a washing line, leaving our butts sticking up like laundry.

I swallow nervously as I see a pair of carpet beaters brought out.

[Danny]

Looks at you "its as if they've been put on to be kept on! Ugh this thing is so stinky! " 

Looks at you "what's wrong? What's gat face for?"

[Curio]

(I looked back and felt that the inflating nappies was a bit silly so I've altered my posts. The changes don't affect the RP as a whole.)

"It's got some carpet beaters! They used them to beat dust out of old rugs, It think's we're carpets!"

I struggle and kick on the laundry line to try and get off.

 

[Danny]

(Okay)

Looks at you and nods "we need to try and escape, but is there a chance that we can if they think we're bits of old carpet! its the nappies, they think its something else"

[Curio]

"I think you're right!" I reply, just as the first beater smacks into my sodden backside.

"OW! I'm not a carpet you stupid thing!"
