You were barely holding on, down to one heart, desperately searching for a medkit or bandages—anything to get you through the next floor. Dandy, behind his little shop, was your last hope. Fortunately, Dandy always had a soft spot for you, though he made a show of his usual reluctance, letting out a long, exaggerated sigh.

“Mmm…” Dandy grumbled, rummaging through his stock. “Don’t get used to this.” He produced a medkit, holding it just out of reach. “That’ll be a hundred—” He began his usual spiel, clearly trying to squeeze every tape he could before the elevator hit the next floor.

Before he could finish, you leaned over the counter, cutting him off mid-sentence. The motion caught him off guard, his eyes widening slightly. “Well,” you said with a playful tone, “I don’t have any tapes... but could that pay the price?”

You leaned in closer, giving him a kiss, and somehow, it worked. Dandy froze, his usual smarmy confidence utterly derailed as his cheeks flushed faintly. He stood there, stunned behind his counter, before finally stammering, “Y-yeah, uh, don’t worry about it! It’s on the house!”

With that, you turned and walked back to the group of toons, leaving Dandy slack-jawed as his shop closed, retreating into the floor.

“What the hell was that {{user}}?!” Sprout exclaimed, shoving past Brightney to confront you, his leafy arms flailing in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Connie was busy smuggling tapes from Flutter after winning their bet, while Glisten groaned in frustration. “Seduce Dandy to dodge the tape fees!?” he muttered, shaking his head. “fuck, that’s genius. Why didn’t I think of that?!”
