Splot, the Floating Pink Blob in – Calcifer's Cunning Café Clash

Deep in a forest with tall trees and lush grass, were two odd characters, one looked like a dark blue pen, while the other appeared to be some blue correction fluid with a red cap who seemed rather bored.

'I'm bored, Percival,' the correction fluid said to the pen.

'What do you want me to do about it, Calcifer?' the pen, Percival answered the correction fluid.

'I want to go on holiday,' Calcifer said.

'Then earn your vacation by yourself,' Percival said. 'I'm too busy to just edit the script for you this time to make it so you can instantly afford it.'

'Awww....' Calcifer said. 'How do I earn it?'

'Get money.'

'What is that?'

'Stuff you earn that can get you things. You earn it by getting a job.'

'Okay, now I need to think of ideas. Oh, I know! Farewell, Percival! I'm off to make some money!'

'Yeah, good luck with that.'

With that, Calcifer left to begin his journey.

After several hours of walking past some pretty rough terrain, which had absolutely no effect on our future money-earner, Calcifer, he eventually arrived at the town of Felinburg, where he quickly began to build a lemonade stand.

'Ahhhh, now this is the life!' Calcifer said as he finished preparing his lemonade stand. 'Now this is how the real money-earners make their money, or so I've heard by listening to kids. Okay, so if I set up the price to make it about 100,000 dropos, as advised, then I'll earn my holiday in no time! Okay, now to wait.'

Several hours later...

'Hmmm....' Calcifer said as he looked a little upset. 'Nobody's buying. There have been plenty of people walking by, so what am I doing wrong? I'm sure I followed all the hot tips and tricks! Maybe I should lower the price? No, that would be giving up too easily! Maybe my advertising's not enough. I need a new approach. Hmmm...think, Calcifer, think. Aha!!! I've got it! I could sing about the lemonade! Oh a potential customer's coming. Ahem!

Lemonade, you are so healthy

Lemonade, you are divine

Lemonade, you help make me wealthy

Lemonade, you help calm me down when I whine

Pretty good if I do say so myself.'

The person dropped a few dropos down onto the lemonade stand and carried on walking.

'Huh, that's strange,' Calcifer mused. 'He gave me a few dropos, but he didn't buy anything. Maybe he liked the song? Well, anyway, I won't get anywhere at this rate. I need a new approach. Wait! Maybe I should ignore the advice of others, and build a café instead! Yeah, let's try that!'

With that, Calcifer set off to begin his café business.

A few days later...

'Well, Calcifer's Crumby Café is now in business!' Calcifer
