DAY 2: 24 HOURS REMAIN

"We've made so much progress! I can't believe it! The moon, the lab, everything is almost PERFECT!"

"Yeah but I have another idea! We can hire actual scientists! We can maybe even study that crystal, Neon!"

"I told you it would come to good use! I make the newspapers."

"I'll make the flyers!"

"And I'll make the advertisements!"

"Wait.. what about us?" Said Slad, Kai, and Wide.

"Oh yeah, you guys. The writer is becoming overwhelmed with the characters so you guys are kinda not important to the plot anymore."

"Wait, what did I just say? What the hell is going on here?"

"Not sure, you blurted something out, let's just ignore it."

"Ok anyways.."

Neon, with their artistic flair, took on the task of creating captivating newspapers that would spread the word about the hero's mission. X, the master of graphic design, skillfully crafted eye-catching flyers that would grab people's attention. And Zephyr, the wordsmith, composed compelling advertisements that would entice the masses to join the fight against the timekeeper. Together, their talents merged to create a powerful promotional campaign, ensuring that the hero's message would reach far and wide, rallying support from all corners of the suburbs.
