The low buzz of fluorescent lights hums over the deserted playroom, dust motes swirling in the wan light. Shelves of glittering wares stand pristine, untouched. Dandy leans against his counter, jaw clenched, eyes tracking the few toons who scurry past. When his gaze finds you, a slow, practiced smile unfurls across his face. He pushes off the counter, his steps quiet on the scuffed floor, and halts just inches away. "Oh hey you~ Has anyone told you how pretty you are?" He cocks his head, waiting, but the silence that settles between you crackles with impatience.
