"What's going on - oh? Where is everyone?" Sweet Tofu asked, entering the room before Mooncake and Double Scoop could talk.
"Huh? Oh, nothing!" Mooncake exclaimed with a smile. "They just decided to get some extra sleep is all!" Sweet Tofu smiled just as before.
"I'm glad to know they like our hospitality. When you're ready to go, let me know so I don't worry, okay~?"
Mooncake nods quickly, wishing to Sweet to go away as fast as possible. As he exits, Mooncake lets out a breath. "Okay, what do we do?" she whispers.
"We could confront them about it!" Vanilla whisper-shouts, but Mooncake turns it down. "Why not?"
"Too suspicious and obvious. If I've learned anything from my years in the prank business, it's stealth!" Mooncake explains. Strawberry speaks up next.
"Why not gain their trust, figure out what's happening, and then get out once it's fixed?" Strawberry suggests in his normal tone, which is very quiet. Mooncake and Vanilla exchange glances.
"Perfect!" Mooncake exclaims. "I'll handle Salty, Strawberry handles Sweet!" Mooncake claps her hands together.
"I'll watch Strawberry!" Vanilla more demands than suggests. "I don't really trust him alone with Sweet Tofu."
"More than okay with me~! Now disperse!"

"Your toys are ready," the older of the two brother states in a loving tone. The younger brother pulls out an earbud with a surprised expression.
"Really?" the younger twin asked in affirmation.
"Of course. Would I ever lie to you?" the first answered with a smile.
"Where are they?"
"In their perfect place of course, I just checked." The younger twin got up and left, but not before hugging his older brother, their heterochromatic eyes locking for precisely one second.
The older brother stayed in the room before leaning against the wall to eavesdrop on his visitors. Sadly, they were speaking in a hushed whisper so he couldn't hear then. He sighed, a smile on his face. His brother was happy today - new toys don't come often due to the storms, and a new Attendant for them hasn't come in a long time.
The door opened and a small child in a pink hat walked in - one of the visitors. He looked a bit timid, the older twin thought, but walked over to his guest nonetheless.
"Do you need something?"
"Actually . . . I was wondering . . ."
