❝ I WON'T LET THEM HURT US AGAIN.. ❞
it had been 2 weeks, 4 days, and 8 hours since the virus broke out. leaving beloved loved ones such as 40 dolls and 20 toys dead, including blue and aurora. while the toys including bonbon were forgiven, that didn't stop the endless amount of guilt they felt for killing their friends. even if it wasn't entirely their fault. despite this, the mansion still tried to look on the bright side of things, including some changes.
thanks to the virus damaging her toy body beyond repair, vanellope was free to stay in her true form. now freely being able to use her powers without restriction, the fox spirit was able to regenerate her old aqua blue eyes into brand new, crimson red ones. it was kind of cute how the toys squealed in excitement when seeing her "new model," though it just goes to show how they still had the mind of children. while the toys tried to go back to their bright nature, it was obvious they still felt bad for the events those weeks ago. especially the purple bunny.

^^ VANELLOPE'S REAL FORM ^^
while he was more than grateful felix had forgiven for what he did to the toys, he still couldn't bring himself to meet with merissa and oj when bearing the news of their child. he could still practically hear their hearts break as merissa's sobs flooded the mansion and julian's desperate attempts to calm his friend down. he could still hear dwayne's outbursts, and he could still feel linda's cold stare. it would be because of this that the bunny hadn't gotten out of his stuffed form, and why he stayed in eve's pocket or curled up in aurora's empty bedroom. while he wasn't the only one still going through it, eugene too still remained broken.
the toy maker, still grieving over his father figure's death, spent his days locked away in his room. only coming down to eat with the others or to check up on the dolls, the multicolor-eyed male didn't make a peep. his usual bright yellow and blue eyes had dulled into gray, pupilless ones. he hardly even spoke to iris, his dearest friend and assistant. as if his condition wasn't mad enough, the disappearance of his cousin didn't help either.

^^ EUGENE'S EYES, BUT INSTEAD GRAY AND WITHOUT ANY PUPILS ^^
according to noel's story, the virus did manage to get into kuro. similar to blue and vanellope, he tried all he could to refrain from harming noel and his family. thankfully, while he didn't harm them, the guardian instead threw himself out the window. hearing that alone would've been enough to assume the worst, but considering the blonde's immortality and high pain endurance the toy maker knew he couldn't have died from such a jump.. but considering the illum hadn't been seen since then didn't exactly make anything better.
especially for mystery, who had been losing his marbles. apparently the rest of his kids were nowhere to be seen either, and boy was mystery throwing a fit. honestly, if it weren't for felix talking him out of it and kcalb's comfort, he surely would've turned the world upside to find his kids. but alas, the earth lives to see another day without it getting blown up by some supernatural creature.
eventually, the day everyone dreaded came of their funerals. in less than five or so hours, friends and families of both oj and the golds would arrive to say their final goodbyes to their little princess. it would be this day eugene finally came out of his room, bonbon remaining in his stuffed form in eve's pocket. the preparations were just about done.. before it started to happen again. there was a shift of energy in the air that everyone felt. but unlike the first time where it started with the smaller toys, it came for the bigger ones.
alani, the orange monarch butterfly and leader singer of the rainbows rocks crew's head began to twitch violently once more, causing her to drop the plate of appetizers that she was just about to place down on the table. however, just as vanellope was about to teleport the butterfly out of the mansion.. it stopped? the fox spirit watched in confusion as the black cloud of smoke left alani's body, causing her to fall unconscious, and into each of the other bigger toys. it was almost as if it were looking for something.. more specifically, someone.
one by one the cloud would enter just to leave the toy's body. some of the smaller toys tried to work together to catch it in a jar just to be slammed and thrown into windows or fall on the prepared tables. even vanellope's attempts to capture it would fail. eventually, it seemed as if it was about to disappear into thin air before spotting the toy maker who had just walked into the room upon hearing the sounds of crashing. despite the fox spirit's shout to the male to move, it was too light, as the cloud of smoke dashed toward him and filled his mind.
while his head didn't make any of the twitching movements, and he didn't start to attack the others, his eyes were indeed the familiar pitch black voided color. with no further movements, his eyes soon began to light up back to their blue-and-yellow colors. ".. it.. it helped him??" one of the toys stammered out, hiding behind sev and vanellope. eugene shook his head. ".. no, no- it.. it was warning me.. i.. i heard a male voice, he said to go to the diabolic factory.." the toy maker mumbled, eyes narrowed in confusion as he slowly looked around his surroundings. ".. toy maker, are you alright? perhaps you should rest." vanellope spoke out to him, walking away from the butler and towards eugene.
"he threatened to kill kuro." he told them, ignoring vanellope's concern. ".. he said that if i don't go to their factory he'll come back with more clouds for the toys.."
".. yeah? well I'm going with you." julian spoke out from the crowd, walking over to eugene with a soft smile. "those bastards killed aurora. if they want a fight they've got one." he spoke out sternly, earning an in-awe smile and teary-eyed eugene.
<<NEW CHOICE! GO WITH EUGENE & JULIAN TO THE DIABOLIC FACTORY?>> CONTINUE FROM THERE!
