Strangely, the door is already wide open as you go to the next house, and a sandwich board sign lies within, stating to greet the Sloth Pinata on your way in. It appears to be written in crayon with broad, shaky strokes in an attempt to look scary. Assuming you choose to obey the sign: You grab the Sloth Pinata's hand and are swiftly transported through a trapdoor onto a smallish attempt at a secret lab roller coaster. You are deposited ungracefully on a white floor obscured by what appears to be Coaster's calculus homework. Perhaps to obscure this mess of homework scratch work scribbled on the floor, dozens of free-hand construction paper bats are scattered all over it; a few have also been Scotch-taped to the fridges, including one that hangs off the edge upside-down, as in its natural habitat. Generally, the scene looks like something a collection of eight-year-olds would have come up with.  An extra piece of tape hangs unnoticed from the antenna of what you can only assume to be Coaster in a homemade Chespin suit (whether made lovingly without skill or hastily without care is uncertain), from which a muffled voice is audible: "Hfffy! Wflcfme tf thf pfffr-tfffffy!" He attempts to dance from within the absurd suit and promptly falls over. Failing that, he tries to move his arms to wave at you. It doesn't go too well because he evidently forgot to put joints in his costume. From the floor, he continues: "Lfst yffr dfdn't gf sf wfll, sf F dfcfdfd tf bf f lfttle bft mfre ffstfve. Thfre's sfme Fchyff fn thf frfdge,"--he gestures to a minifridge full of various Achyfi flavors--"fnd yff cfn hflp yffrsflf ff yff lfke." ...But this guy's house is just wide open. You could take a look around the main floor instead, if you like. Raid the kitchen and the potion cabinet and whatnot. |

I go to the kitchen and grab a treat before helping myself to a drink from the machine and relax.

I obey the sign and am rather swiftly deposited flat on my back in the basement. After taking a few minutes to get up in this slightly-too-authentic armor, I greet the lovingly crafted Chespin and snag a can of Elderberry Achyfi.

Coaster rips open a mouth hole in his mask so as to be more understandable.
"Ah, the visitors are here! I knew that sandwich board would do the trick!"
He struggles to get up, then opens the white fridge with the difficulty of someone trying to do so with tennis rackets instead of arms not like that's what he used for his costume at all seriously.
"Alright, you guys can help your..." He pauses to spot Celestial with an unlabeled can. "...Wait, you didn't take one from the black fridge, did you? I specifically told Zooby to safeguard it!"
With that, he turns and scolds the off-hanging paper bat, then turns back and looks at you nervously, or at least as nervously as a button-eyed Chespin with a gaping hole in its face can look. You get the feeling he's about to come off a sugar high.
"...I mean, that stuff is probably safe anyways, but you might grow an extra arm or a llama head or something. Just thought I'd warn you. In case your method of entry wasn't warning enough. Drat, I knew I should have put extra warnings, but that would just deter people!"

Luvdisc is very impressed at that Chespin's speech capabilities! No Chespin she's ever talked to was quite so talented. She tries to compliment him on it, but all that comes out is "Luvdisc luv!" Oh well, hopefully that will do.
She takes a random Achyfi from the fridge. She isn't sure what flavor it is, but the can is so colorful and bright it can't be bad!

The Dalek enters the house, only to stop in front of the pinata.
"MY MASTER IS NOT A PINATA! THE BLASPHEMER MUST BE DESTROYED! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
The Dalek starts firing randomly, moving haphazardly towards the kitchen.

Azzie trotted inside and spotted the pinata.
"Ooh!" she squealed. "It's so cute! Hi there, Mister Pinata!"
She had never been all that good at roller coasters. Upon picking herself up off the floor, she shook the stray hair out of her face... and promptly lit up.
"Coaster? Is that you? Your costume is so cute!" She squealed. "And hi guys!"

"Sweet costume! And thanks for the Achyfi, too. ...A, uh, cushion under your trapdoor might be nice, though."

Birdy enters the house, and promptly stops in her tracks upon seeing the pinata.
"SLOTH!" she bellows, grabbing the wand-nozzle of her proton-pack and aiming it at "Sloth". "You shall PAY for your trecher--oh, wait." she says, upon seeing that "Sloth" was not taking defensive action. "It's just a pinata. ... I knew that." she clears her throat and sheaths the nozzle/barrel of her pack and moves closer to get a better look.
"Heh," she said. "This thing is pretty life-like..." she moves forward, and then, just as she reaches it, the floor falls from beneath her, sending her plummeting downwards with a squeal.
Being a cat, though, she naturally lands with finesse and grace.
(Also known as: landing in the most undignified heap of limbs and fur and proton-pack, then scrambling to her feet and dusting herself off with a casual "I meant to do that". {Which means she meant for her tail to grow to thrice its original size, too, of course.})
She waves at Coaster and greets him, then peeks inside the fridge. Spying an Elderberry Achyfi, she takes it; most likely attracted by the purple-and-orange can rather than flavour.
