Inside the door was a skeletal man wearing beautiful purple robes with small precious stones glued neatly into it, a golden wristwatch on one of his bony wrist and a bracelet on the other hand which was embossed with the word GRIM, and was made with gold weavings to make air pass towards his bony limbs, not that dead people needed air passing through their bones or anything, he also wore some sort of fancy shoes, granted this was the first time Frank saw a high ranking official wear shoes, his idle heart ached for one of his own and he had a strong urge to head over to the high class soul being and pull out the clothes he wore while he put them on.
Noticing Frank's analytical eyes glaring at him, the high class soul being returned the gaze with an arrogant gaze of his own, before...
[Hahahaha]
[Come on, cheer up.]
[I've heard so much about you.]
[Have a seat.]
[I'd offer you a cup of coffee or cola but sadly most of us, soul beings don't have those resources.]
Frank gazed at the high class soul being with a confused stare as he asked:
[You're, you're laughing!]
Frank looked at Berry's face to confirm, but Berry still held a dull expressionless face that almost made someone question whether the high class soul being and he were really friends.
Frank stared right back at the soul being and asked:
[Why are you laughing?]
[It's not that it is bad to see you bald heads laughing, but throughout my stay in the city of New Darkovia, this is my most bizarre encounter.]
The high class soul being expression soon changed to a dark frown as he challenged Frank asking:
[ARE YOU CALLING ME A FREAK!]
Once Frank heard those words he felt as if the world was threatening to swallow him up and that if he didn't get swallowed up by the world the high class soul being was going to do something even worse to him.
The worst part was the fact that Berry just stood there expressionlessly like he didn't exist, sure they had a few squabbles together does that mean Berry hated him that much.
The high class soul being expression changed to that of a cheerful princess in the blink of an eye as he said:
[Damn, that your facial expression was truly priceless.]
[Unfortunately, I don't have much time to spend fooling around with you so I will just answer the questions you are about to ask.]
[First: Not all authority figures are bad or make themselves bad, take me for example if I look at everybody the same way our dead friend over there(referring to Berry) does, I wouldn't make any friends nor would I have any customer in my industry. So I try to know my customers well and make the atmosphere friendly around me.
So far so good the amount of energy bars I receive tell me I'm doing a great job.
Second: Like I said I try to know my customers well, when I heard "Berr" here tell me he had a colleague who believed he was from a race called "human" and that he behaved strangely unlike other soul beings. I tried to search around with my Galaxy search technology about who you were.]
Frank felt surprisingly grateful Berry viewed him as a colleague even though he also heard that Berry called him a "strange soul being". He felt a strong urge to shout out loud that the soul beings were the strange ones.
Failing to read his countenance, the high class began to promote the product called "Galaxy search technology". He said:
[The new Galaxy search 10000 series is a vast upgrade from the Galaxy search 2000 series which I believe you and most soul beings on this planet used.]
Believing the Galaxy search was a piece of technology, Frank engaged the high class soul being like they were a bunch of nerds that had being separated by an invisible link for a long time until the link was severed just moments ago. The high class soul being told Frank about the runic technology he used to power the Galaxy search while Frank talked about some of the technology he had experience using back home on earth, a few computer tips, no, a lot of computer tips, based on Frank's background that was inevitable and a bunch of historical yet experimental ideas each of them had concerning the piece of technology.
It got to the point that the formerly expressionless Berry sat on the chair to actually listen to what they were saying he was almost enjoying the conversation when he heard one of lines the high class soul being used to bait potential customers into buying products from him. He decided to stop the high class soul being by saying:
[Orn, about why we are here.]
Orn gazed at Berry with a look of disdain while returning to face Frank with a cheerful expression as he said:
[Of course, Frank why don't we run the test concerning what is wrong with your body, if you would please follow me.]
Frank gazed at the room one last time, a room which looked like a standard CEO office only that it was furnished with beautiful golden materials, expensive paintings and some odd items that looked as if they cost alot before following the high class soul being called Orn out of the door an into another door which the insides looked bare and only contained resources a few purple containers and the only notable thing, there was a dark iron floor that looked like it weighed tons.
When they had all entered the door, Orn said the following words out loud:
[Admin access, Override key]
[Proceed to sub-basement level 2]
Before Frank could question the high class soul being about what was going on, the ground within the door they were all in began to fall downwards, Frank felt he was going to die as he felt himself fall, he tried telling himself he was only hallucinating because he saw Berry and Orn standing firmly like nothing was happening but he still felt he was falling and the open edges and sides of the floor he was standing on only confirmed that.
Frank felt that if he had a heart it would burst out of his body due to how many times it would be beating, he couldn't stop himself from shaking all over and only felt a moment of respite when he grabbed onto the bony hands of Berry and Orn.
The falling floor soon reached its destination as it slammed onto the floor of sub-basement level 2, it was then Orn said the words.
[Open the doors.]
Frank felt he must have heard wrong since they was nothing keeping them enclosed to falling floor, therefore he couldn't close his mouth after seeing what happened next.
