Dark Enchantress turns to Pomegranate, "Look for EP again. I could feel that bastard use my magic!"

Pomegranate looks at her mirror, "Show me EP."

She stifles a chuckle, "Master.. He passed out face first in the mud," She shows Dark Enchantress the image in her mirror.

Dark Enchantress scoffs, "He deserves it. Where is Vanilla Cupcake? I don't want him thwarting our plans."

Pomegranate squints at the mirror, "He's... In the child's pocket?"

OJ looks around, "I feel like someone called me a child again..."

Dark Enchantress sighs, "Just- Just go get them. Grab the child too, it may know why Vanilla Cupcake is so small."

Pomegranate nods and opens a mirror portal, though it's shakier since it's based on the reflective part of a shovel, "Licorice, use your servants to grab EP and let's hope he doesn't wake up before I can contain him properly."

Licorice nods. A bunch of licorice servants grab EP and carry him through the portal, while only one picks up OJ.

The licorice servants set EP down on the floor while Pomegranate closes the portal.

Dark Enchantress looks at Madeleine, "Can you create a light cage to contain EP?"

"If I try, there's no guarantee it'll hold. I've never done it before."

Venti scoffs, "Amatuers," She waves her hand. An ornate light cage appears, large enough for EP to remain laying down in.

OJ covers its goggles with its hands, "OW! My fucking- not eyes??"

Venti smiles to herself, ignoring OJ, "That should last until I decide to take it down."

Licorice points at OJ, "What do we do about this kid?"

OJ looks hurt, "I'm not a child!"

Dark Enchantress shrugs, "Put them in the oversized birdcage. I don't care. They can't do much."

Pomegranate picks up Vanilla Cupcake by the back of his shirt, holding him like a dirty tissue, "And what about this..?"

Madeleine gasps, "OH MY GOODNESS! How did he get so SMALL?? Can I hold him?!"

Nilla is trying to get out of Pomegranate's grasp, "No! Put me down!!"

Licorice says, "There's cake hounds everywhere. I don't think you want to end up as a squeaky toy."

Nilla huffs and crosses his arms, "I'm not squeaky!"

"You sound really squeaky to me."

"Shut up!"

"Should we give him to Poison Mushroom?"

Nilla yells, "NO! I don't want to be a toy again.. Not after the ant..."

Pomegranate gives Nilla to Licorice, "You deal with him."

Espresso asks, "Do you have an area similar to a lab where I can work on this?"

Licorice nods, "You and Madeleine, come with me," He leads them away.

Dark Enchantress sighs, "Thank you, Venti."

Venti laughs, "No need to thank me, I KNOW I'm the best!"

OJ, now sitting in a birdcage, grabs the bars, "I hope you know I am NOT a DECORATION!"
