(Feel free to be a Toon or OC! I was genuinely not bothered to mention all the Toons, my bad 🥲)

The large metal elevator door opens, and Floor 17 arrives. It's Vee's room, where gameshow stages, chill-out areas and various arcade games are around. Though, the Toons are not here to play about.

"Someone's excited," Astro murmurs, glancing at Vee with as he notes how satisfied she looks. Shelly softly chuckles, leaning her head forward so that she can see past Astro and at Vee.

Vee shoots the two a somewhat annoyed look. "Oh, be quiet," she weakly snaps, though in response Astro nods his head towards her tail, which was motioning back and forth. "It's quite obvious, you know."

Vee doesn't respond with any of her usual snarky comments. With a grumble, she walks away, swiping at her tail and holding the microphone end in her hand.

Not too long after, Toons begin to do what must be done. Yatta talks to Blot as he extracts from a machine, unbothered by how he speaks backwards. Though, before she can speak up again, Looey speeds past. He lets out a terrified yelp, realising Sprout was giving chase - and he wasn't far behind him.

"Come back here, you silly doofus, you need a heal," Sprout calls to Looey, a smile at the corner of his mouth as the adrenaline of running gets to him. Sure, Looey was faster, but Sprout had more stamina. Good old speed candy and cans of pop would do the trick.

"W-Wait, no, I'm alright! You don't need to waste healing cupcakes on me-" Looey begins, his voice sheepish and past faced. Sprout echoed the word 'waste' with a raised eyebrow. "I-I gain speed when I lose hearts! I'll be able to distract Twisteds easier-" Looey continued. When he turned his head around once again, to his luck, he nearly ran head-first into a Twisted. Sprout let out an amused scoff, determined to give him a cupcake one way or another.
