Down With the Deals (Bill Cipher x Reader) [Discontinued]

__________

Last Chapter-

He reached the top and noticed, it led to the support beams up top. He walked steadily on the support beam bridge. He noticed you dancing down there and made a silent remark, "Her dancing is not that bad, at least it's distracting the audience. Though her jokes are way too crazy for me." He finally got across and noticed a door. It had a gold brass-like door knob. He opened it with caution, and it revealed a strange old library.

The event of the Grand Hall finished and you said to the audience, "Well that's it for the night!" You walked backstage and gave Jerry the microphone, "I have business to do. I hope you don't mind." Jerry held the microphone in his hand, "No, no! I don't mind. But, may I ask where you're going?" You sighed and realized you were in a corner you could not escape, "I'm here with a friend of mine to consult a ghost problem." You saw the goth woman from the entrance run up to you with a huff, "Really!? I've been dealing with this ghost problem of the Grand Hall for a long time..." You turn to her, "Wait, really?" She quickly nodded, "Yes..." Jerry explained, "Her name is Jet. She usually helps around to set up the Grand Hall." Jet said, "Well, you know my name, what's yours?" She put out her hand to shake yours. "Y/N," And you shook her hand. Jet said, "I know everything about these sets..." You thought to yourself, I saw Ford leaving through that hall... You pointed at the corridor from afar, "Where does that entryway lead to?" Jet explained, "To the support beams..." You nodded and ran off. Jet turned to Jerry, "Gonna come?" Jerry whimpered, "Sure..."

You approached the security guard and greeted him. They let you all pass without question. You got confused by that simple unquestioned reaction but Jerry explained the situation with the crew. You walked up the dark spiral stairway. Jet was right behind you and Jerry was behind her. You approached the support beams and Jerry said, "I-I don't like the look of this..." Jet grabbed Jerry's wrist and ran ahead of you whilst dragging Jerry. She exclaimed, "C'mon!" You ran across the support beams and in front of Jet, "Now you get my spirit!"

You arrived at the open door, you peeked in to see Ford, "Grunkle Ford?" He was analyzing some books, but then looked back at you, "Oh, hey. Didn't expect to see you here..." "What are you doing?" You questioned and walked inside the room. Ford sighed and pulled out an old leather-covered book, "I suspect this place to be some sort of gateway to-" He got cut off by the sight as he looked up from the book. Ford raised an eyebrow, "Who are they?" You looked back as Jet and Jerry were standing behind you. Jet explained, "I'm Jet, and this is Jerry." Jet walked up to Ford, "I know everything about the sets since I help set them up." Ford held his eyebrow raised. Jerry excused, "A-and Jet knows quite some things about the ghost. And I'm just here to find my best friend..." Ford sighed and looked back at the book, commenting, "That sounds promising." Ford turned around and put back the book on the bookshelf. He started searching all around the giant library.

You went with him and asked, "So?" Ford stopped in his tracks and looked at the bookshelf against the wall. He lightly stroked the books' covers, leaving a clean track between the dust, "There's something weird going on in this library, but I just can't put my finger on it..." You thought about it and what he meant. A thought suddenly crossed your mind, what if this library is just a cover-up gateway? Bill chuckled in the back of your mind, "You're on the right track S/N!" You raised an eyebrow and took a few steps back. Ford looked over at your suspicious behavior and watched as you leaned backward to take a closer look at the books. You made a steady step back to make yourself have a straight posture. You slightly bent down to look at the books. Ford asked, "What are you doing?" Whilst holding an old book in his hand.

You looked over the old leather books... Though one caught you off guard, why is it so dusty? You, not answering Ford, tried to pull out the book to check out what it was. However, it seemed to be caught onto something, not making a budge.

Ford stepped back, realizing what was happening as the wall with the bookshelf turned. Jet and then Jerry ran over to look at what was happening. The bookshelf and wall had turned perpendicular to the rest of the wall. Jerry exclaimed, "You're a genius!" Ford chuckled, "That might be an overstatement for good luck." You stayed silent in this discussion. You hobbled into the dark room, illuminated by old-looking lamps (older-looking ones than in the main room). Ford followed behind you and the others followed behind him.

You hear a strange whisper-wind-like sound as you go deeper into the hall, "You guys hear that?" Ford raised an eyebrow, "Hear what?.. Or maybe I just need to start wearing a hearing aid like Lee..." You roll your eyes and comment, "No, really! I hear something. It's faint but if you quiet down-" You cut yourself off. Everyone else in the group quiets down and raises an eyebrow. You stand there with tension as you make everyone stop in their tracks. Ford has a moment, "Wait! I can hear it! HAHA! I GUESS I DON'T NEED A HEARING AID LIKE MY BROTHER!" Ford clears his throat, "Anyway, I think it's coming from down the hall. Let's keep going!" Ford runs ahead of you. You run after him, barely able to catch up to him.

You stop Ford, "HEY! WATCH OUT!" Ford immediately stops in his tracks, sliding a little on the glossy floor. You manage to, in addition, grab onto Ford's sleeve. You both stare into the dark abyss. Jet explains, "That's the old elevator shaft. No one knows what happened but... The elevator sorta just... Disappeared." Ford questioned himself, "That's odd... When did that happen?" Jet explained to Ford, "Apparently right before I got hired..." Jerry looked down into the elevator shaft, "Hold on... I remember this happening during my employment. Though my memory is a little bit fuzzy about it." You gasp, "Where does the elevator lead to!?" "The basement?" Jerry said. You and Ford looked at each other in surprise and happiness.

You took off your cloak, having the three golden-eye pattern on the back of your dress revealed. Jet asked, "What's with the eye pattern on your dress all about?" You shrug, "I don't know, honestly. I just sorta had this dress for a while." Jerry remarked, "Well it's good you have it. It looks nice." You smile holding the cloak in your hands, "What I'm about to do is risky." Jerry asked, "What are you going to do?" You chuckle, twisting your cape into a sort of rope. You tie one end to a nearby railing and grab onto the other end, eventually jumping down.

Ford freaks out, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?" You answer from down below, "Well, I'm still alive, so probably something smart." Ford sighs in relief, "I'm glad you're alive!" You grab onto something rusty, almost like a handle. You chuckle, "Well, are we going down or what?" Ford asked, "Are you serious!? How are we going to do that?" You look at Ford and remark, "Well I think you have some kind of rope in at least one of your coat pockets... Seriously though, how many do you have?" Ford dismissed your question and just checked his pockets. After a hard minute or so, he pulls out some rope, "AHA! I totally forgot about this!" You remove the knot on your cloak, leaving you hanging on that handle. Ford ties one end of the rope to a solid metal pole and jumps down the shaft, grabbing onto the rope. He slid down with an adventurous expression on his face. You followed and then everyone else did.

You dropped down into a dark room. Ford was standing there, looking into the darkness. You ask Ford, "What do we do now?" Ford turns back with a terrified expression, "We should hurry!-"

P.S. I'm sorry again for the late update! 抖阴社区 kept giving me, "502 Bad Gateway," Error. And so in addition to the worst writer's block I've ever experienced, I've been dealing with that. And I don't mean to be, "The classic fanfiction writer," But I've just been dealing with a lot of stuff! I hope y'all understand! Keep enjoying my work and have fun!
