Playing falls off the car as it stop sin the parking lot. Traderalice, the driver, walks out and steps on Playing. Hard.
"This is what soda does to you."
"Ketchup."
"Whatever."
He gets up, dusts off himself, then walks into BJB Offices, following the employee.

"...oh."
Libre wordlessly runs into the building.
Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP categoryThe guard just sighs. Don't forget to sign in.
The group enters the lobby of HQ: it's a pristine, shiny place full of employees. In the center of the lobby is a fountain, where a pillar of water shoots out from between two concrete balls. At the other end is the elevators. As they go in, the Tropers may notice a group of employees enter an elevator full of the Crystal Pepsi Finite, before the doors close.
and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised."THERE'S THE CRYSTALS!"
Libre hastily runs towards the elevators, ready to bash hard into it if the doors close before he gets there.
Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP category"Er, Libre, you know you have to open elevators, right?"
"I mean, we may be crazy, senile, naive, stupid, etc., but we know that."
The seals open an elevator, cram inside, and press the "open door" button to keep the door open for Libre.

Data is imaginary. This burrito is real.''Traderalice and Playing walk in the elevator."
"Ya know, I hope this soda ban'll cause growth within this third financial quarter of 2021. More than the last one."
"People could just drink water."
"True. But, we're the second-most drink product bought within Tropesburg within the last three years."
"Huh."

Libre, of course, manages to get in because of the Harpers, and quickly pulls out his bolt gun.
"Alright, gives us Tropers the goddamn Crystals. Don't even think of resisting."
Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP category"...SHIT!"
Libre quickly bashes the elevator's "open" button in an attempt to get out.
Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP categoryFuzzy's in the elevator with his katana held in front of him and Peppy on his shoulder.
"Why are there so many floors? The heck do these people do for a living?"
"And why is 69 the 'haha funny number' as you contend?"
"And what makes you think I'll tell you that?"
Well I guess I'm back.The gang, who I will assume is all here even if you didn't explicitly say you entered the elevator unless you say otherwise, stands awkwardly as elevator music plays. The ride is...surprisingly uneventful.
Finally, the group makes it to the 69th floor. Waiting there is a group of guards surrounding the elevator, and an older blue haired woman sitting on a throne of the Crystal Pepsi Finite sodas, with the Big Juicy Balls logo above her head.
"So, you finally arrived. You know, you people have been an incredible nuisance to me. All this lobbying to pass the ban, to increase profit of balls. And you blow this town up for some old gimmick soda of the 80s."
and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised."Uh, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure stealing illegal goods and sending innocent people on wild goose chases isn't how business works. I mean, what are you gonna do with all this soda anyways?"
Fuzzy says this in the middle of drawing the scene in his notebook, labelling the blue-haired woman as "MASSIVE JERK".
Well I guess I'm back."Throw it out, probably. And you're the ones who sent yourselves on this chase in the first place. We just came to dispose of our competition."
The floor in the middle of the room gives way to a tank of robotic sharks as the woman gets off the throne. The throne of cans is lifted up via pulley, and raised over the tank.
Knife very much looks like they no longer want to be here.

and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.Libre, after exiting the elevator, points both of his firearms at the woman.
"[slight panting] Of course you'd hoard the shit you've confiscated."
"You're obviously the mastermind of all this shit, why else would fucking Knife, comply with whatever bullshit you're doing!?"
Then the robotic sharks come in, at which point he quickly opens fire, and blasts zapper blasts and forces bolts into them.
"You really made a mistake, haven't you Knife?"

Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP category"Okay, Libre, what the fuck?! Just because she's my damn mom doesn't mean that she's the reason that you people are too incompetent to keep track of a goddamn soda stash."
The sharks dent and spark, but remain unfazed as they jump at Libre.

and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised."Do you not know the extent of how much I hate the juiceball company? Seems like you don't, eh!?"
Libre jumps and blasts a charged shot at the floor, sending him flying before blasting the ceiling in an attempt to entomb the sharks in debris.
Cassie | they/them/he | Help needed for filling out entries on the Series X SCP category"Is this our cue to beat the crap out of everyone?"
"Mind your manners Peppy."
He turns to the others.
"I think what he's trying to say is, is this our cue to beat the crap out of everyone?"
Well I guess I'm back."Man, it really doesn't seem like you hate them that much if you basically just GAVE THEM THE FUCKING SODA BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO PLAY AROUND, LIBRE. And yes, Fuzzy. Let's beat them up!"
Knife flies right at the blue haired woman, sword in hand.
and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised."Hey, for the record, illegalising entire brands for the sake of competition really ain't how to sell something. Couldn't you just make a really cool mascot or do something fun for charity? No no, it's fine. Clearly y'all want this katana shoved in your faces."
And with that, he runs off to take out the guards one by one.
Well I guess I'm back.

With both guns loaded, Libre blasts at the entrance.
