The cramped room vibrated with clashing egos. Cala Maria lounged on a velvet chaise, sighing at the poor lighting. Sally Stageplay dragged an armchair, demanding a spotlight.

Ribby and Croaks paced like mobsters, complaining of bad improv. Captain Brineybeard ransacked snacks for taffy. Werner Werman tinkered with wires, muttering about an escape tunnel. Cuphead and Mugman peeked in, shook their heads, and quietly slipped away as the door clicked shut.
