Things escalated, but not in a way that was too aggressive from the looks of things. Sure Vanessa shooting one of them was a bit overboard, and the whole thing the bees were doing acting like some kinda superheroes was a bit weird, but the 'villains' didn't seem to get too aggressive. Heck, they ran off scared after a few grunts at the ragtag group of the Quest for Flavor, leaving their friend behind.
"Well, that happened." Toony said after the pig and brain guy ran away, leaving the slime hostage behind. Looking at mr. snake that Toony was holding, she decided to hold him in a much more efficient way than just using her arms. Acting more like a goo creature instead of a robot, Toony formed a cage around him and carried him like a backpack. At least until she could figure out what to do with the guy, maybe hand him over to the authorities or something.
"I'll carry him for awhile til we can drop him off. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sodium, and iron are far too common." Toony said looking at the group. It was around this point that she echoed Vanessa "Wheres Fiddlesticks?"
