Tropers: The Series

"Me!"

Garrett: Yeah, as much as I love cooking, I'll stay here and watch the Snorlax. This big tubby thing.

"Excellent, so Togepi and the phone will be well looked after! Now I just need one more volunteer for flyer duty."

"All of you are so unhelpful, bah..."

"fuckit. Chey, can I take up the offer to help with the flyers?"

(Robin was a bit surprised when he heard Cassie call him Chey.)
"I'm Robin! Chey is gone. Anyway, that's all settled."
(Robin takes Togepi out of the high chair and gives him a hug.)
"I gotta go, Togepi! We're going off to look for your... uh, guardian."
"Toge?"
(Togepi gives Robin a sad look.)
"Hey, don't worry. We're going to do everything we can to get you back to them. I'm bringing a couple friends to help me. I will have to leave you here at the apartment where you'll be safe, but not alone. Lux, Garrett, and the Snorlax will be keeping an eye on you."
"Togepi..."

"Well, good luck out there guys! We'll keep the place safe while you're gone and totally will *not* wreck it completely, promise!"

To punctuate this, Snorlax lunges onto the table and gobbles up all the remaining food, leaving nothing behind.

"FUCK. I had a debrain moment, sorry!"

"Anyway..." Cassie snatches a small stack of flyers, eager to spread the word.

Garrett: See you guys later! Now, on to more… pressing matters. What do you like to eat, little eggy?

"Is it cannibalism if I feed it eggs?"

(Togepi shakes his head then pats his belly.)
"Toge, Togepi!"
(Togepi then waves his little arms around, wanting out of the high chair.

Meanwhile, Robin was getting into the Chey Bus with the two Tropers volunteering for flyer duty. He looks up at the apartment building with a bit of sadness over leaving the Togepi behind. He sighs.)
"Alright, who'll be driving?"

Knife raises their hand. "I will."

"Ah, hello, Knife! Great to see you joining us. Alright, here's the plan; we first go to Tropey Mart and put up flyers there, then we go to the Tropesburg Community Center and tack a couple on their notice board. We will make a stop at Tropey Burger for lunch where we'll also hand out flyers to the customers, then we go to the bus stop where Maurice and I found the Togepi and then finally, to Drewski Park where we will plaster and hand our as much flyers as possible. We have until 4 PM to pull this off as we need to come home and get ready for a visit from KTPN-TV and KRAP-FM's news teams."

"aw come on Knife I wanted to drive too..."

"We're gonna be on the news?"

Garrett: Alright, I'm giving the Togepi some nachos. It's gotta have something. (Garrett proceeds to make some nachos with cheese, black olives, jalapeños, salsa, and ground beef.) They should be ready in fifteen or so minutes.

"What, you can drive, Cas? Don't be funny."

"Duh. I'll show you! Ford, can I take the wheel?"

this might be a bad idea...

"Yeah, sure. How about this. I'll drive, you can take this."

Knife throws Cas one of those toy steering wheels for babies.

He throws the toy steering wheel back at Knife.

"Of course you think I'm a child..." He pouts.

"How old are you?"

"Ford's gone too. Anyway, yes, they're going to be doing a report on the missing Togepi. Now then..."
(Robin opens a compartment on the bus and pulls out another megaphone for it. After flicking it on, he says...)
"LET'S GO BEFORE TROPEY MART GETS TOO CROWDED!"

"THE SECOND TIME I GOT IT WRONG I'M SO SORRY-"

Garrett: Ooh! My nachos are ready! (He takes out the nachos) Now, Toge-whatever… would you like to try them?

Playing rubs to the car.

Knife is already at the driver's seat. We'll just assume everyone who needs to be is in the car:

We cut to the car in the Tropey Mart parking lot. Half the car is now covered in paint, there's scratches, and there is pink smoke coming out of the steering wheel. "One of my better drives in this city, you think?"
