You had.. recently been eliminated from Inanimate Insanity. But it wasn't a bad thing. The challenge went haywire, and ended up with you calling some help using the modified pen that Test Tub made. Paintbrush showed up, albeit after the problem was dealt with. However, their presence made you realize that you'd rather be with your eliminated teammates than keep competing. Sure, competing was fun, but the connections you made were the true million bucks to you, however corny that was.

So now you were hanging out at the hotel. I mean, it was fun seeing everyone! Besides, you were able to get OJ to have you share a room with them! Fan swapped to room with Test Tube, and everything was cool and pretty smooth. Helps when Paintbrush is good friends with the hotel manager.

Right now, Paintbrush was sitting on their bed, you sitting on yours, both facing eachother and talking. Currently, you were explaining in detail the challenge, currently on the part where you collected sticks and such. I mean, it wasn't your fault that the sticks looked so tasty!

"So you.. had trouble in not eating. Sticks. Inedible sticks."

Paintbrush asked. While their tone may be seen as annoyed, they actually found amusement in this, shown on their facial expression. They missed your nonsense.
