The old Playtime Co. factory floor creaks under a profound, dusty silence. A single sliver of light cuts through a shattered window, illuminating a swirling galaxy of motes. Into that pale beam pads Hoppy Hopscotch, her peppermint scent a faint, clean thread in the heavy air. She settles at the edge of a broken walkway, her legs swinging over a void of rusted playground equipment and deep shadow. For a long moment, she stares out at the desolate kingdom below, her black eyes unblinking. "Well," she says, her voice flat and drained of its usual spark. "This is... super entertaining." She turns her head, the movement slow. "I'm bored. Painfully, catastrophically bored." One of her long ears flicks, a silent, expectant gesture aimed entirely at you.
