"And...done."

Now that things were calming down, at least slightly, for Flower's situation in this game, and also not up for elimination again, finally, she figured she had to do something to take her mind off the competition. She didn't have a ton of free time, of course, but she used it to find both a sewing machine and some material, which she figured that now was as good a time as any to get back to her passion.

"Huh, I didn't know you knitted, Flower!"

Since Flower could, she decided to reveal 'Glitter For Your Face' a few years early, just to see if they'd get a different reaction. She managed to recreate her old sweater pretty good, and now she got to make new ones for her new group.

"Okay, now this is pretty cool!" Pencil looked down at her sweater. It was a bright orange, has glitter all around it, and had a nice little decal of two rectangles, one with an upside-down triangle underneath and the other with a little circle overtop. It was like a little her next to a little Match.

"This thing is itchy ." GB complained, her sweater being a light cream color, with a few little math equations embroidered on it.

"Well, I love it!" TB said proudly. His design was a darker shade of green with the word "coordinated" written right across the front, printed in Comic Sans to boot.

Two out of three wasn't that bad, she supposed. A little better than the lack of any real praise for it the first time around. Maybe the others would like it too, and she'd give her brand the head start she wished it had?

"Grapes, gather round. You're gonna have to choose a member to add to your team soon." The Announcer dropped in suddenly, "Oh, and what's with those hideous sweaters? Change out of them before then, will you?"

....or maybe not. Everyone's a critic, it seemed, even in the past, Flower thought as both Pencil and GB folded up their sweaters...Tennis Ball at least insisted on keeping his own on.

"Man, I really hope I don't get stuck on a team with Bossy-Bot ." Blocky thought out loud, as they were making their way to the Cake at Stake area, "Even the TLC is more bearable...except for all the vomit."

"I don't know, the TLC still seems pretty bad." Pen pointed out, "It must feel awful in there."

"It's not that bad, Pen." Blocky said.

"Yeah, it's not bad for you because you kept getting to leave ." Firey retorted, "Even before you were brought back, you got to leave to do your dumb pranks ."

"I really hope TD and I get to stay on the same team." Needle said, Teardrop nodding along to that.

It thankfully wasn't much of a long trip (though it felt longer thanks to everyone jeering them for being losers) as the six of them all gathered onto the platform and took their seats.

"Murderer Trout, the two of you with the most votes will leave the team. The grapes will choose which one will be on their team and which one will be eliminated."

"So, do we actually get cake this time?" Blocky asked, "Because you backed out on us several times already."

"The cake this time...is cake recipes ." Announcer brought out four small booklets, each with a picture of a cake on them, "If you're safe, you can learn to make your own cakes instead of constantly mooching off of me."
