A large dragon stands upon a castle, flames shooting out of its mouth in pure rage.
"When the universe is in danger, we all need someone to be there for us."
A group of animals, rush out, all taking aim at the castle as the dragon jumps down. As the dragon and animals collide, they become small toys in the hands of children.

Those children disappear.

The store is in ruins.

Boarded up, with a sign condemning it sealing its doors.
Most of it has been looted, broken, or ripped apart by vermin that begun to roost within its walls.
But there was still something of value inside.

Metaparxi
The metaparxi had quit soon after they finished that commercial. They realized they no longer wanted to be in that situation. At first they thought that it was the repetive making of the toys that were the issue.
Metaparxi
But, as soon as they quit, a weight was lifted off of their shoulders. They no longer had to "paint a certain way."

They could pick what they wanted to make. They could get as wild with the colors as they wanted. Toys that would have been rejected were now praised by their buyers.

They didn't have as many buyers as they wanted. They finally were creating the art they wanted, but they still had to rely on sales, and without a large company buying their toys.....

They pull back the condemned sign from the store's door. Entering, flashlight in hand.

Money was tight. For all the freedom they gained, they had another challenge to deal with.

Keeping a roof over their head.

"It has to be in here....."

The place was so empty of supplies they were unsure they'd find it. They needed to save money on bases. They needed to find a zookeeper.

In the back of the store, shoved into a corner, was a zookeeper gacha machine. They pop open the top.....
"..............."
Metaparxi
"Only one....."

They sigh, pulling it out of the zookeeper machine. While they might have hated their old job, they had to give it to them. The bases were high quality and this was a rare one-

Something grabs them. They spin around, expecting an intruder or a guard-

"!!!!!!!!!!"
Zookeeper
"......................................."
"That....belongs.......to me."
No one is typing.
