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.

[color=00aeef]"Well, that happened."[/color] 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. 

[color=00aeef]"I'll carry him for awhile til we can drop him off. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sodium, and iron are far too common."[/color] Toony said looking at the group. It was around this point that she echoed Vanessa [color=00aeef]"Wheres Fiddlesticks?"[/color]
