Haunted Nursery 3 Episode 3
Episode 3: The Caretakers Grin & Chuckle
Hey my name is Fin i’m a Water elemental i work as a freelance Dancer and today i start a new job at this very Popular Art Gallery that’s been flying off the charts in terms of reviews i just finished putting on my garb the type of dance i do is more akin to belly dancing mixed with ballet it’s become popular i then put some normal clothes on top of it
Then i make my way to the train the Gallery is in the Business district witch is a little odd since the Business District is really meant for employment but i guess that makes the Gallery stand out when i get off the train i start following the directions on my Fairy Orb i finally arrive an hour before the show can start and i meet two strange individuals they are wearing strange outfits and seem to be wearing similar mask one mask has a bright smile on the face and the other has a laughing expression they both bow and say
“Greetings oh Cherished one i am the quiet careful and overly soothing Grin” one said the other then jumped into the air and said in a booming voice
“and i am the loud protective and extremely big hearted Chuckle we will be performing with you today oh Cherished one” I gave out an awkward laugh these two seemed weird but harmless at least the two then led me to the set up stage and they took time to get ready i was a little nervous this was a big crowd and it was very intimidating but the pay would be worth it and i could really promote myself i started to undress into my attire and i tied my long hair into a ponytail interesting fact since i’m a Water Elemental my hair is made of pure water and i can extend or retract it with ease or use it as a weapon
But enough of that in a matter of minutes the curtains rise and it is show time the music is just right and i begin to dance and all of a sudden Grin and Chuckle jump onto the stage and they have spears that is concerning but still the show must go on
My Movements start to sync with the rhythm of the music it gets faster and faster i slowly start to get tired and then i’m suddenly falling and the last thing i hear is Confetti cannons and Applause then my vision goes dark
=========================
=====================
Fin’s POV
I wake up on a soft surface it feels so gentle but i start to hear voices they seem really fun i start to open my eyes and i see an all white ceiling then i hear a familiar voice “oh looks like our Cherished one is waking up oh joyous” i sit up and see a women with an all white and orchid pink hair she is wearing some sort of face paint i recognize her strange pink and pastel blue clothing could this girl be Grin? She comes up to me and smiles
As she gets closer i start to scoot back towards the wall and i launch a bolt of water at her and she just moves out of the way i was a little scared my attacks were almost faster than bullets Grin gets closer and i start throwing more attacks but then a sudden scared expression starts to form and she backs off then another weirdo appears through a mirror he looks to Grin who starts apologizing and he just stares at her angrily with his arms crossed
Grin then sighs and walks through the same mirror the Weirdo then turns to me and smiles gently and seeing his smile is actually pretty calming it’s interesting the weirdo’s expression slowly changes 1st he has an apologetic look then a relieved look and then an expression of joy the man then looks to the Mirror he came through and then Grin came back she seemed to be dressed in a strange yet somehow normal dress Chuckle comes through too he seems to be wearing a strange suit it kinda looks the same as the first outfit i saw him in the two then bow again they seem a lot calmer now it’s kinda relaxing
“Hello Fin allow us to introduce ourselves in a more gentle and proper manner I am Grin the Jester of Smiles and this is my Twin Chuckle the Jester of Laughter and this place is Spiegelwelt the Inner Sanctum of The Einfarbiger Palast” Grin said
I started to hold my knees close to my chest Chuckle explained the rest apparently i’m here to be cared for like a baby Church Mouse huh i thought for a moment before agreeing it could be worth a few laughs the Weirdo who stood between us stepped aside and let Grin and Chuckle come over i just now realized that i was sitting on a changing table
Grin smiled and started to undress me she started with my shirt and then my shoes and pants then i was just in my underwear and Grin laid me down onto the soft padding Grin then removed my underwear and this was the part that my light blue face started to change to dark indigo Chuckle then came back with an outfit and a diaper for this part Chuckle stepped in he seemed more nervous then i was
It got so bad that i had to look away but as i was looking away i felt everything and this experience was absolutely odd when it was over i sat up and looked down to the padding it was really weird i usually have to buy certain types of clothing since my body produces water unwillingly but somehow this pamp wasn’t a soaking mess but how
“Ok little droplet we still need to get you dressed” Chuckle said Chuckle then got me dressed in a really strange onesie then Grin picked me up with Relative ease and they both looked to the Weirdo who gave an approving nod
Grin and Chuckle then took me through the Mirror into a room that had furniture like a one room apartment but the walls and ceiling have some sort of effect where it looks like were in the Garden District’s central Plaza because their are several flowers and people walking around and the sun is so clear what kinda place is this
Chuckle laughed and said “looks like our Cherished one is curious about the room” i nodded my head Chuckle explained that this effect is a reflection of the outside world it is done through the use of a hidden Gem whatever that is i started to get hungry and both Grin and Chuckle Laughed they took me over to a High chair and Grin strapped me in as Chuckle went off to make the food Grin then started to change her face and even make accurate sound effects i just crossed my arms and gave an unamused smirk it was ok nothing great but ok
Grin finally gave up and went for a rather cheap tactic she started tickling me and i had to say it was pretty fun Chuckle then came over with a plate of strange muck Chuckle put a spoon full of it to my mouth and knowing that their was no other option i opened my mouth and to my surprise the food tasted like banana pudding i ate it happily and i became full somehow Grin smiled and took me out of the Highchair and she carried me to a play area and she disappeared into a puff of smoke and reappeared as a cat we then started to play and it was really fun
As the Days went on i began to enjoy the baby role the only part i hated was the diaper changes they just seemed so awkward but Grin and Chuckle were loads of fun and very devoted to me this was a nice way to live and it made me feel safe
Grin’s POV
I had just come back from performing for some new charges when i came into our Gold Prism i saw the cutest thing Chuckle was cradling our Cherished one in his arms Fin had caught an awful stomach bug and he’s been throwing up a lot we’ve been so worried i told Ryn about it and he says to give him Medicine since Chuckle and I don’t possess any healing abilities so medicine is the next best thing
I walk into the cooking area and i start to prepare a bottle with Medicine in it and i come over to Chuckle and our little Droplet Fin reaches for the bottle and i hand it to him and he starts sucking away Chuckle then stands up and starts swaying side to side
Chuckle and i are the same as Ryn we possess Nightmare Hearts the only differing factor is that Ryn added a touch of Laughter to our mixture so in a way Ryn is a true revolutionary he is making strides in Nightmare Biology research where many Engineers have failed but that is enough of that
I smile at our Cherished one and then i kiss his head then i check his adorable pamp when i do this Fin starts to whine but sadly it’s that time of the day i take Fin to get Changed and then there's a chime meaning our assistance is needed Chuckle smiles and takes this one and goes through the Mirror i walk to the changing table and i start to change my little Droplet and he looks away when i’m finished i smile and blow on his Tummy causing Fin to laugh
“My Cherished one can i ask you something” i say Fin looked to me and said “what is it Mama Grin” i smile when i hear the four letter word and say “me and Chuckle were thinking of getting some more Cherished ones so it would be like having siblings”
“Well i think it would be nice Mama Grin” Fin replied i smiled and held my sweet Droplet and said “now my Cherished one it is time for your nap it’ll give that medicine time to work”
My Cherished one nodded and i took him to the crib and i laid him in it and i clouded the Gold Prism a bit so he could sleep better i then sang sweetly i then spent my time people watching
Chuckle and i have a rather interesting way of luring in new charges we mainly use a whole lot of parlor tricks and a little bit of misdirection Ryn allows us to travel to other regions of the world in order to catch our charges Ryn is also thinking about creating other cast members maybe some Strong Arms Acrobats or maybe a few new Jesters the possibilities are endless as for me and Chuckle we are both Dancing Acrobatic Jesters we do use a few illusions but nothing major and our illusions mainly work on a stage or in the middle of a crowd
But then i see someone, he's a Church Mouse, a businessman even he seems to be having a bad day so sad…
I then warp to his location and i smile at him “hello sir my name is Grin care to tell me what’s wrong?” The Church Mouse simply stares at me and lights a cigarette saying “what’s it to you” he says and i take a bow and say “because i bet you four hundred credits i can make you smile” the Church mouse laughs and says “deal” i then pull out my Tambourine and i start to draw a crowd together soon everyone is watching and i start to dance all the while but then i start juggling fifteen balls at once everyone is amazed then i throw them into the air and they burst into dazzling light the crowd then begins to cheer and clap i look to the Church Mouse and he has a wonderful smile on his face he smiles at me and after some time he begins to open up his name is Krez he works as a business man selling vacuum cleaners Krez explains that he hates his job and he does it to support his Husband and teenage son i sympathized with him Krez also explained that his husband came from an incredibly wealthy family that refuses to help and on top of that they’re about to be evicted i sighed it seems the cruel hand of fate really wants to punish these poor people *nudge nudge wink wink*
I smile and Offer Krez a free show at his house where me and my partner will gladly entertain them to lift their spirits Krez smiled and quickly led me to his home where i began to put on a marvelous show lots of fun was had i ended the night by juggling lots of balls but when they exploded the room filled with purple mist and soon my audience of three had fallen asleep i then teleported all of them to the Gallery and into the Core Prism when i got there with my charges i was met with several other sleeping individuals all over the gray carpet all of them sleeping soundly then i saw Red Ryn getting them ready for the various Nurseries Red Ryn looked to me and signed “Ryn is working down in the lab so i’m subbing care to lend a hand”
I happily agreed i then asked if this was Chuckle’s doing and Red Ryn happily Signed “yes Blue Green and Yellow are busy with their own charges i only have one rotten apple and he is napping at the Moment and thanks for your assistance” i smiled softly and gladly got to work getting the new Charges ready but the first thing i did was mark my own then i saw other charges that bore Chuckles mark i let out a soft sigh it seems more Charges will be instore for us
Ozzy’s POV
My name is Ozzy a Church Mouse currently padded up and playing with some blocks Mama Grin and Papa Chuckle put mittens on my hands and they are really cute they really add to the whole helpless feeling and at first i did hate it but i have to admit i feel so incredibly snug right now there are others all around they are all as happy as i am before i worked in a factory where i had to crush metal with several thousands of other Mice it was hell by chance i visited a Gallery on one of there promotional free admission days there i saw a show led by the Mama Grin and Papa Chuckle and it seemed all my stress melted away i then started to roam the Halls of the Gallery and one way or the other i was here
As i come out of my thoughts i begin to build another tower and i swiftly knock it down and smile this is way more fun than it has any right to be i chuckle and begin again just as i pick up a block with my mittens i feel myself being lifted up by my armpits and then i see it’s Papa Chuckle he gives me several kisses before taking me over to the Changing table and he starts to undo my onesie and starts to change me i smile up at Papa his hair is a beautiful white with green and yellow streaks in it
He’s so cool and even though he doesn’t show his face i can tell that he has a lot of love for me and for all of us when Papa gets me fresh and diapered up i let out a soft yawn and start to rub my eyes Papa then picks me up and i nuzzle into Papa’s shoulder he then sits down on the couch and he starts to sway back and forth humming a gentle song i soon fall into a deep sleep
I wake up in a crib and i crawl over to the crib bars and look around the entire room is a calm cloud gray it’s relaxing i really do like it here i smile and sigh and lay back down on the mattress i place my mittened hand into my mouth and begin to chew on it a bit i love the comfort the warmth the carefree days it’s all so nice
I shift to my side and curl my tail between my legs this was so lovely after a few hours the clouds move away and the warm glow of the room returns and Papa and Mama return the two quickly set to work loving us and giving us so much affection i think there are ten of us in total and yet Papa and Mama make us all feel special they are without flaw could life get any better than this
Chuckle’s POV
All of the charges are fast asleep Grin is watching over them i have been summoned to Ryn’s lab in all honesty i hate going down there the whole area is like a butcher shop’s backroom it really scares me but anyway i step through the door and i see a spotless clean lobby what the hell it didn’t look like this when i was created then there’s the man himself Ryn he looks to me and smiled while washing his hands with a towel he then waves to me making a questioning gesture while beckoning me to follow him
I smile and say “things are actually going very well but what did you call me down for” Ryn removes his beret and makes a series of happy and excited gestures this tells me that Ryn had created something i smile and summon my Spear to prepare for a possible fight Ryn Claps his head and leads me deeper into another room the Next room was more akin to a medical lab with thousands of strange machines Ryn then went through a hall on each side were doors labeled Nightmare Containment
Then there was a room filled with large pods inside them were strange embryos but another thing about them was that they had black limbs attached to them moving past them we came to the Battle Room in the center of the room were three creatures with round blue heads that sort of resembled masks but upon closer inspection the masks were actually screens and they had emoji faces there bodies were covered by long blue and white bubble themed Cloaks the cloaks wear apparently one piece outfits without arms built into them and their feet were almost cartoonishly slender
Ryn then gave me some papers detailing these creations “they are magicians there specialty is long range attacks with barrier creation abilities there purpose is to capture babs and to hunt down nightmares but while they are in my Domain they will be security”
I then prepared myself for battle and soon Ryn had teleported to a safer position and then i saw the Magicians ready themselves there screens changed to a playful emoji face as playing cards swirled around them i then charged at them spear held high the Magicians then jumped back and began to shoot glittering cards at me they were fast i blocked one with my spear and it exploded into a burst more akin to a firework
The blast pushed me back a bit when i had recovered i saw that i was trapped inside a barrier the Magicians had smug emoji expressions on there faces but i simply laughed i then charged an attack into my spear and thrusted it upwards shattering the barrier i then threw some of my Juggler balls at them the Magicians counter each of them with some of their cards i then noticed that one of the Magicians is preparing a spell
I brace myself for the incoming attack but then i see some cards coming towards me and i quickly dodge out of the way and when i do the third Magician traps me inside a barrier as i start to shatter it a massive explosion goes off inside the barrier almost taking me out entirely i get back up and i see that Ryn is impressed he comes down from his perch and seems very pleased
Ryn begins to make a series of satisfied and amused gestures he’s a sort of sadistic creature if you ask me
Ryn then heals me before taking the magicians away i soon leave i go back to my Prism and i rest before my charges wake up
Ryn’s POV
As i begin to alter the Magicians power output i take a moment to review my research notes on Nightmare Biology when a Mortal is infected by a Nightmare they begin to show signs of anger and depression that slowly gets worse and worse as time goes on soon they will begin to push everyone away even there closest loved ones and pets depending on the mental state of the infected Mortal they might perform self harm or something much worse by that time the Nightmare manifesting inside them will be in its larval stage and begin feeding on their misery and depending on outside stimuli
like the loss of a job or the passing of a loved one the infected Mortal will be pushed further into the deep end
Once the Mortal has been pushed to far they will try to end their lives and once they do the Nightmare will reveal it’s true form and completely devour the soul of the Mortal they Infected
It is horrible to be sure but if my theory is correct a Nightmare cannot consume a Mortal’s soul completely from what i’ve discovered the Mortal soul is stronger than any force on earth and some small shard of there soul can survive and if given proper nourishment from positive stimuli then the Shard can grow into something greater something that can overpower a Nightmare
I have been using that exact method to create the members of my troup while also using certain parts of a Nightmare as a catalyst for Grin & Chuckle i used a Nightmare’s Smile that i tore in two for these Magicians i used a Nightmare’s Mind with an infusion of Creativity and Joy
But I do believe that they will make a marvelous addition to the Troop. I then flip the switch and leave the room the respecking will be taken care of and I get to gather more resources i open one of the Nightmare Containment rooms i pull out a bone saw and…. You know what happens next right?

As i begin to alter the Magicians power output i take a moment to review my research notes on Nightmare Biology when a Mortal is infected by a Nightmare they begin to show signs of anger and depression that slowly gets worse and worse as time goes on soon they will begin to push everyone away even there closest loved ones and pets depending on the mental state of the infected Mortal they might perform self harm or something much worse by that time the Nightmare manifesting inside them will be in its larval stage and begin feeding on their misery and depending on outside stimuli
like the loss of a job or the passing of a loved one the infected Mortal will be pushed further into the deep end
Once the Mortal has been pushed to far they will try to end their lives and once they do the Nightmare will reveal it’s true form and completely devour the soul of the Mortal they Infected
It is horrible to be sure but if my theory is correct a Nightmare cannot consume a Mortal’s soul completely from what i’ve discovered the Mortal soul is stronger than any force on earth and some small shard of there soul can survive and if given proper nourishment from positive stimuli then the Shard can grow into something greater something that can overpower a Nightmare
I have been using that exact method to create the members of my troup while also using certain parts of a Nightmare as a catalyst for Grin & Chuckle i used a Nightmare’s Smile that i tore in two for these Magicians i used a Nightmare’s Mind with an infusion of Creativity and Joy
But I do believe that they will make a marvelous addition to the Troop. I then flip the switch and leave the room the respecking will be taken care of and I get to gather more resources i open one of the Nightmare Containment rooms i pull out a bone saw and…. You know what happens next right?
