Tofu stared at a canvas on a stand, blankly. Just like the canvas. She struggled to put her brush to the white, paper board.
"Tofu? Whats the matter?" Jaden walked up to her.
"I can't create an expression. My creativity has become vacant..." Tofu sighed and looked down.
"Is it because of Lua? I know he was your friend.." Jaden put her hand on Tofu's shoulder.
"Yes. He talked to me before this situation as well. We were neighbors, infact. He liked my art. But now, he is gone..."Jaden patted Tofu's shoulder gently. "We're going to figure out who did it, and we WILL get out of here, all of us together. No matter what it takes."
"...Thank you Jaden. You are very encouraging, you know." Tofu lightly smiled.
Jaden giggled. "No one has told me that before, thank you!"
"No, no! Thank you!" Tofu laughed. "I think I've gotten some inspiration now!" Tofu immediatley turned to the canvas and started her work.
Jaden smiled and walked away.In the kitchen, Pants held Sketchy in the air with both her of hands. "Come on now, I won't put you down until you tell me. Why did you do it?"
"This is ridiculous! I've already told you that it's your fault!" Sketchy folded his arms.
"I wasn't the one that killed him though, was I?" Pants asked Sketchy.
"Well, no, not exactly." He shrugged.
"No, not 'not exactly', this was your decision. You did it."
"Hahah. Fine, I did it. Put me down now."
"You still haven't told me why."Chargii walked near the kitchen to hear what they were saying.
"I can't tell you why!"
"You will!"
"No, I won't because I can't!"
"Why not??"
"I don't remember!"
Chargii looked inside.
"Why don't you remember?"
"Why do you think I would know?!"
"..."
"..."They saw Chargii at the door. "...Uhh.. How's the weather today?" She said awkwardly.
Pants continued to hold Sketchy. "We cannot see the weather, Madam."
"Ah- Right.. right.. Oh maybe-! Wait no... Lua is dead.. uhhmm.." Chargii tried to think of a way to see how the flood was doing."...Madam, you could stand on your throne!" Sketchy finally said. Pants looked at him.
"Brilliant idea! I need everyone to help me move it!" Chargii said skipping to her throne.
Pants glared at Sketchy.
"Please put me down now."
"No."
"PANTS WHY WONT YOU PUT ME DOWN?? PLEASE PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!!"
