You, Cosmo, watch as Rodger finishes the last machine, the red light turns green and tiny ear the elevator door opening. As all the toons— Sprout, Glisten, Rodger and you, run to the elevator, you see Glisten's high heel break, and he falls to the floor.
"S-shit..." He snapped, from what you can see, he's hurt his ankle in some way.
The elevators closing in 15 seconds,. But you couldn't just leave glistening to get mauled by the twisted shells of what used to be Tisha and Finn.
You run back and grab Glistens arm, and dragged him into the elevator just as it closed, it wasn't a hard feat, he was surprisingly light. The elevator door closed, they had all made it in.

"Oh my god, Cosmo, thank you, you just saved my shit there." Glisten huffed- catching his breath sitting on the elevator floor.
"Of course Glisten! I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I just left you there to get mauled!" You say, crouching down next to Glisten as Sprout puts a hand on your shoulder. you look up at Him, and he's smiling at you. You smile back at him, but just before you can speak-
"HEY! Got some tapes? I got some items for you!" Dandy announced, leaning forward head in hands on the store door front. As the shop ascended from the elevator floor

What he had for sale was : Gumballs, air horn, and a bandage.
He looked around the elevator, his eyes setting on Glisten, Cosmo and Sprout.
"Hm? What's happened here? Glisten, you've got something up with your ankle. Anyhow, tapes anyone?" Dandy dismissed, pointing at the items on display again with his gummy looking paws.
"How much for the Band-Aid?" You ask, standing up, checking how many tapes you have- you have 112, surly enough for a bandage.
"Uhm, BANDAGE not Band-Aid! Copyright, Yanno'? That'll cost ya 120 tapes!" He smirked, tapping his claw on the table impatiently.
"Huh, a few floors ago it was only 80 tapes!" Sprout stated, taking his hand off on cosmos shoulder- and instead pointed one  mint coloured claw at Dandy  accusingly, his leafy tail flicking behind him.
"Heh, I guess I could give you a discount, only for this once! 110." Dandy said, but he didn't seem happy with it.

'That's still ridiculously overpriced...'  You thought, glancing at Sprout, and he seemed to agree.
You begrudgingly give Dandy 110 tapes- leaving you with two, and you swipe the bandages off the counter before his floor descends under the elevator floor.

"My ankle hurts like hell, I- I think one of the t-twisteds  bit me, there's a bite mark on my a-ankle and it's covered in ichor.." Glisten said, holding his foot paw in his paw, black liquid smudged around his ankle, and on his claws.
