Chapter 11: Floyd's Tsum II

Meanwhile, in the Octavinelle Dorm...

Floyd and his Tsum counterpart along with Azul and Jade are in the Monstro Lounge before the place opens.

"So, uh... What should we have this guy DO, anyway?" Floyd questions, and turns to his Tsum, "We can't have it take over the cookin'. It'd have to memorize recipes for that."

Floyd Tsum shrugs in response.

Then Azul says, "I'm still a tad worried about its penchant for indiscriminate squeezing, but it might make a passable waiter. It's charming enough."

Floyd then has an idea, "Oh, hey. It's good at squeezin' stuff, right? What if we gave it a grapefruit? Think it could make us some fresh-squeezed juice?"

Floyd then brings out a grapefruit, "Here," and places it on the table.

Before long, the Floyd Tsum wraps itself around the fruit and squeezes the juice out.

Azul and Jade are shocked, "The Tsum's wrapped itself around the grapefruit, and it's squeezing the juice out!"

"Dude, it's like turnin' on a faucet! Who needs a juicer with this guy around?" Floyd says happily, "And the Tsum's havin' a blast too. It's just goin' from one grapefruit to the next."

Floyd Tsum hops for joy.

But Azul doesn't think the same, "These grapefruits are expensive, but considering the time and labor this will save, I'll write this off as a training cost. Just do that when we're open for business, if you would."

"Sure thing," Floyd says.

Floyd Tsum jumps up happily.

Sometime later, the lounge is open...

Floyd says, "Hey, table seven's put in an order for some fresh-squeezed juice," Then turns to his Tsum, "C'mon, this is your debut. Show these people the grapefruit squeeze you did earlier."

Floyd Tsum however, is not going anywhere, more like just sitting there. That catches Azul and the Leech Twins off guard.

"It's not moving...? But it squeezed so many grapefruits before, we almost ran out!" Azul questions, shocked.

Floyd laughs, "Ahaha. It's just sittin' there like a sea toad. Guess its motivation's gone out the window."

"Even its mood swings are identical to Floyd's," Jade says with a smile.

But Azul is not happy about the sudden mood swing, "What was all that practice for then?! We wasted perfectly good fruit! I should've made it a waiter..."

"Eh, no biggie," Floyd speaks out, "We're gettin' like, triple the amount of customers anyway just 'cuz they wanna check out the Tsum."

Meanwhile, one of the students is carrying a stack of plates, "Augh, this rush is getting out of hand. I need to get all these dirty dishes hack to the kitchen before—" But trips, "Woah!"

And the plates are sent flying.

"Whoopsie, that boy tripped with a whole stack of plates. Trainwreck time," Floyd says.

But then the Floyd Tsum begins zooming across the lounge at top speed and catches the plates and is able to stack them out.

"Whoa," Floyd says, surprised.

The student who tripped is very surprised, "What IS that thing?! It just dove right under the falling plates!"

"It's catching them one by one and stacking 'em up! And now it's striking a pose on top of the stack!" Another student says, surprised.

And soon enough, the Floyd Tsum catches all the plates and are nearly stacked up. Floyd Tsum jumps for joy with the plates on it.

"Ah, our dishes are saved thanks to a sudden burst of motivation from the Tsum. Nicely done," Jade says with a smile.

Floyd is very impressed, "'Eyyy, you're the man. Thanks, I didn't wanna clean up a buncha broken dishes. What with your love of stacking and the whole squeezing shtick, you might be a perfect fit for this job."

Floyd Tsum happily hops for joy.

"Guess I'll keep lookin' after you, so long as it's fun for me. C'mon, let's keep workin' til closing time," Floyd says.

Floyd Tsum soon has a happy expression.
