You were a Toon Handler! How and why?! Well, you looked nice!
...
Yes. Delilah and Arthur were busy, so they jad someone else interview you. They thought you looked... extravagant. So you got the job! Future was looking bright, right?
WRONG!!
Your toon was Flutter, and at first - she seemed like a lovely toon! Until you realized... she couldn't talk. Now this? It made it difficult to interact with her! She could... muffle things, sure - but they were just sounds! The other toons understood her perfectly fine. But you humans? Couldn't understand a drop!
You were in the toon handler break room, most of the others in there. You walked over to the coffee machine, next to Shawn - Shrimpo's Toon Handler.
"Dude, I have no idea what this man is saying!" Blake, Blot's Toon Handler, exclaimed, almost crushing his soda can.
"You're tellin' me. I don't think even Sprout can understand him..." Sage mumbled with a sigh, lifting themselves up on the counter. It was an early morning...
"Could be worse. How're you holdin' up?" You asked Blake, pouring yourself coffee.
"Pfft-- don't even. That's a you question. Flutter can't even talk!" Blake laughed drly, the others chuckling.
"It's a blessing and a curse. Least I'm not getting shouted at every day." You gestured to Shawn, who was holding his head on the table. Polly, Poppy's toon handler, patted his back in sympathy.
"My toon is a curse..." Blake groaned, rubbing his head.
Blot did come in, trotting his way over to Blake. Meanwhile, you walked out before things got weird, deciding to check up on Flutter. On your way out, you heard Blot raise his voice. You winced and sped up.
You opened Flutter's door, seeing her on the floor, nestled in the grass.
"Hey, Flu..." You waved, sipping your cup of coffee.
Flutter perked up, tilting her head - muffled sounds leaving her mouth.
"...What?.." You raised a brow.
Flutter huffed, her foot pointing to the cup.
"I--... you want some?.." You rubbed the back of your neck, unsure.
Flutter huffed and let out more muffled sounds.
"Wh-What's inside?.." You winced at yourself. This was not going well.
Flutter huffed and nodded, her wings flapping to make herself float.
