Jack just blinked as his eyes were covered, not even noticing the bodies. "Oh, is this a surprise? Alright, I'll close my eyes!"

When they got deeper into the tunnel, she sighed, seeming a little more at ease. She released her hand from Jack’s eyes. “You can open them, Jack.” “Thankfully, as far as I’ve examined, Spiel disregarded bugging this old tunnel system…a lot of the tunnels are clogged up with cave ins and broken cars. Sometimes they might…well…dispose of some things down here, but I managed to take up shelter in a part of the area that’s fairly unexplored by anyone.” And since Jack had introduced himself earlier, she looked over at them. “By the way, my name is Oblivion.” “I’m Brick Cainfield,” he said, shaking her hand. “…thanks.” “It’s something I rarely do, taking in strangers like this…so yes, you’re very welcome,” she said.

Jack just smiled at Oblivion, giving her a nod. "So, you live down here?" He looked around the area. "All by yourself... it's gotta be lonely, though."

“Oh, I’m not…em…by myself.” Suddenly, when they turned around a corridor, they encountered a mine cart on the rails… …FILLED to the brim with all kinds of meat. “Uh…” he was suddenly very uneasy. “…that’s not…?” “I promise that none of this is from anyone that died…these are rations I manage to take from other survivors on the island, to help me and my friend live.” “Oh…” hopefully the concept of cannibalism flew over Jack’s head.

"...oh, so you don't live alone!" Jack let a small, relieved sigh escape his lips. "That's good to hear..."

“Would you two be able to help me push this?” She asked, going up to the minecart. “Sure,” and he went behind it. “This sure is a lot of food. This gonna last you?” “I certainly hope so.”

As he pushed it along, Jack glanced over at Brick. "Man, could you imagine if the guys over at the base had this much food? Everyone would be a lot happier, I'd think." he remarked, before he quickly looked back at Oblivion. "Not that you and your friend can't have this much food, of course!"

“Well, food is hard to come by unless you grow it yourself or know where to find it,” Oblivion said. Then she looked nervously at Jack at the mention of a ‘base’. If it was the base she was thinking of…then she really should make sure Spiel never finds them if they know where it is… “I could see growing your own veggies and fruit, but meat must be hard to find. How do you preserve it all?” “I don’t…this is for my friend, and this is supposed to last him through the week.” He blinked. “How does that work?” “He’ll eat all of this to pack away in his stomach and last him until next week when I have to find more for him.” “That’s…a lot to eat in one sitting.”

"...seriously... you'd think he was like a really huge guy or something." Jack remarked.

At that remark…she looked away uneasily. Finally, they got to the end of the rails, and saw another tunnel leading into a darker area. With this, Oblivion turned to the two boys. “Alright, wait here a moment…I need help my friend brace for newcomers.” “…and…what’s that supposed to mean?” “He’s had experience of others attacking him and screaming nasty things at him because of his appearance…such backlash has made him very afraid of other strangers. I’ve been the only one he’s trusted for these years, and I have to reassure him that you won’t be here to hurt him.” Then she gave a long hard look at them. “You…have no intention of hurting anyone…right?” “Uh, no…we’re not here to hurt anyone,” Brick muttered, wondering how threatening a bull with a nose ring and a lion with a harmonica would even be in a place like this. “I mean, hell, we pinkie promised, right?” he added jokingly.

Jack rubbed his neck whilst grinning a little. "I don't think I could've hurt anyone even if I wanted or tried to. So don't worry; I pinkie promised, so I'm not doing anything bad."

Taking their answers as good enough, she turned. “I’ll call you in when he’s ready…” and she disappeared into the tunnel. “…huh…” He blinked. He looked at the cart of food, and then at Jack since he said something about her friend possibly being a big guy. He wondered about this.

Jack hummed as he rubbed his chin in thought. "...you think he's friendly? Her friend, that is..."

"Well, I hope so. It seems like she's doing most of the work taking care of him," he pointed out, given the minecart of food and the fact that she wanted to ease him into meeting new people. "...y'know Jack, they might even know all of what happened on this island, depending on how long they've been here," he supposed, rubbing his chin.

"...oooh...!" Jack looked back at Brick. "You think we could find out about things, then?"

“That’s what I’m hoping.” “Alright, it’s safe you two. You can come in. Bring the minecart.” “…how? The rail ends here.” “There’s a switch that will activate a ramp that can dislodge the minecart and allow you to push it further off of the rail.” He looked around for a switch…finding it on the wall nearby. When he pressed it, the floor gave way by the minecart and a ramp lifted up with extra railing, which would lead the minecart off of its rails to traverse into the tunnel. “…okay Jack, we gotta push it some more,” he said, going up behind it.

"Alright!" With a nod, he walked up behind the cart as well, and began pushing it again.

They managed to push it into the tunnel, and from there, the minecart slid a little uneasily on the flat ground, but they were able to handle it. “Brick…Jack…” They heard Oblivion say when they pushed the cart far enough. “…This is Charon.” When he took a look…he gawked. Beside Oblivion was a monstrously sized Mobian, barely touching the ceiling of the tunnel just by his sheer size.

Jack just gawked up at him as well. Slowly, he looked down upon the two of them, growling lowly. "...you... are huge...!" Jack uttered in awe at the sight of this towering Mobian.

Now Brick fully understood Oblivion's warnings, and why there was so much food in the cart. Cautiously, he pushed the minecart forward a bit more. "Uh...your...food?" She looked up at him. "It's okay Charon..." she reassured him.

A light growl escaped his lips as he looked down upon the two of them, but Oblivion's reassurance led him to slowly accept the cart of food. Jack just smiled up at him. "Hope it tastes good!" No reply. He just gave them a wary nod before he took to eating the contents of the cart.

She set a hand on his arm while she watched him eat, feeling more at ease that her friend was being fed. Meanwhile, he couldn't help but stare in surprise.

Suddenly, a wall exploded, and from within the smoke cloud there was a beastly hiss with golden eyes glowing within.

"WHOA!" Jack's eyes widened as he leapt back out of surprise. "Who's that?!" Immediately, he let out a snarl as he quickly stepped in front of Oblivion, growling at the golden eyes. "...who dares...?"

"WHAT THE--?!" He stood in front of Jack. Gasping in shock, she shuddered out of fright at the fact something just burst through the wall like that.
