[Boarding Pass] "Watch out for falling blocks!": [BLISS, TART, & GLORP] "Watch out for falling blocks!"

“Hey, at least you came along this time!” Tart jests, walking forward deeper into the toybox. “Last time I was alone until I joined an… impromptu game of tag..? Whatever that was,” Tart chuckles to himself, shaking his head.

“I know… I just don’t like it here.” Bliss says, no louder than a whisper. I would much rather be outside, or at breezy meadows… She thinks to herself, opting to not say that aloud. “T-the plushies and wind-ups freak me out…”

“That’s fair! I don’t mind them, but I could see why you might!” Glorp comments, casually sitting on Tart’s shoulder.

 

“At least it’s not as stuffy in here as last time.” Tart mutters to themselves, clearly not meant for the others to hear. The three of them are in an area of the super structure that’s in between two major ‘sections’ of toys. On one side of them, there’s a large collection of plushies, ranging from snorlax to teddiursa, there’s even a froakie! On the other side, blocks are stacked up high, creating large, scalable towers. I wonder what the view would be like from up there… Bliss thinks to herself, slowly waltzing along the path. The walls here are a nice shade of baby blue, and the carpet is made to look like a road, conjoining up with other paths up ahead.

“IS ANYONE OUT THERE?” a ‘mon up ahead cries. “I’M ON A BLOCK TOWER! I CLIMBED TOO HIGH UP, I THINK I’M STUCK!”

“Oh for arceus’s sake…” Tart says with a groan. “Guess our walk to the dollhouse will have to wait. C’mon.”

“Oh! Is this my first actual mission on your team, Tart?” Glorp asks, calmly holding onto Tart’s shoulder as he speeds up his pace.

“Mhm,” Tart hums back in response. “First one since… y'know.”

“Oh, right! I forgot we were on the same team there for a minute.” Glorp says with a smile. Tart and Bliss both speed up a bit more, almost running now.

“Y-you were both on a team together?” Bliss questions, trying to keep up.

“Yeah,” Tart says, his face twisting into an unreadable expression. “The… The guild ended up disbanding. It’s the reason I moved here.”

“Oh–” Is all Bliss can get out before she’s cut off.

“OH THANK ARCEUS SOME-MON WAS AROUND! ” A Litleo cries out. “I’m so happy you’re here!” Oh that tower’s massive! It's gotta be around 20 feet, maybe 40 feet tall. How did that litleo even get up there? Bliss wonders.

“Just hang tight. I’ll climb up and grab you.” Tart yells up the tower. Glorp quickly slides off his shoulders, opting to stand by Bliss. Tart quickly grabs onto the blocks of the tower, climbing upwards. 

 

The litleo can’t stay still, pacing around the edge of the top block. With both the added weight of Tart and the Litleo’s pacing, the tower becomes more unstable than it already was, shaking and swaying harder. Oh no, is it gonna fall?  Bliss thinks, worried. Tart digs his claws deeper into the wood, trying to steady himself.

“Hey kid! You have to stay still! You’re making the tower shake more!” Tart shouts, pulling himself on top of another block.

The litleo doesn’t respond, continuing to pace, trying to balance on top of the blocks. Tart pulls himself on top of another block. He’s almost at the top, just one or two blocks away from the Litleo. “Come on… just a little bit more…” He thinks aloud, trying to scale the blocks as quickly as possible. The tower, however, can’t take him moving that quickly. The blocks shift just far enough out of place, and the tower starts to fall.

“AHH!” The litleo shrieks, toppling off the edge of the tower.

“Oh CRAP–” Tart cries out, losing grip of the block he was holding, quickly falling.

Oh no no no no no! Bliss thinks, watching the events happen in front of her. It feels like everything is happening in slow motion. What do I do what do I do?!  She panics. The bellsprout quickly has an idea, putting it into motion as quickly as possible.

Bliss uses Wrap!

 

Bliss creates two vines, one for each pokemon. She grabs Tart and the litleo by the torso as gently as she can. These vines might be made to  hurt someone, but they can help as well!

 

She quickly pulls them away from the collapsing tower, setting them both gently on the ground.

 

“Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” The litleo says, running up to Bliss and Glorp. “I would have gotten super hurt if it wasn’t for you three! Thank you!!” They purr, a warm, bright smile on their face.

 

“Y-you’re welcome! It’s our duty as guild members to help any pokemon in need!” Bliss says with a small smile. The litleo quickly runs off further into the toybox, clearly grateful.

 

“Oh! It’s nearing the time we have to be at the drop-off point,” Glorp chortles. “Perhaps we should get going?”

 

“Y-yeah! We don’t want to be late. I suppose our walk will have to wait for another time?”

 

“Mhm.” Tart hums in response, only letting Glorp climb onto their shoulder before they start walking in the direction of the drop-off point. Bliss quietly follows after, making conversation with Glorp as they walk. Tart remains silent, not speaking until they make it to the Drop-off point.

"You know... I think I understand why you don't like this place now."
