Button Effects

• Toons — Each time the button is scrolled over, Character 1 appears with a different baked good, while the narrator describes the scene.
  • "Here's Character 1 strolling home with braidèd loaf. Probably get a caraway seed stuck in his teeth later on, but that's the life he chose. That's right." Character 1 walks in from the left, holding a loaf of bread with seeds on it. During the second sentence, Character 1 stops and looks at the loaf, from which a seed falls off of, before slumping and walking away, dejected.
  • "Character 1's juggling a trio of brioche buns. I don't think he's got it right. He can paint my fence any time. That's right, it's starting to warp. Never had it sealed." Character 1 appears from the background, juggling the buns. When the narrator describes his fence, the fence in question appears in a thought bubble about Character 1, becoming warped as he mentions it. Once he finishes talking, Character 1 and the thought bubble disappear with an audible pop.
  • "Now he's going for it with a Burmese-python-sized baguette. Seems a little excessive, but that's Character 1 for ya. Far out." Character 1 again walks in from the left, carrying an incredibly long baguette.
• Games — Character 8 rapidly drinks Smarty Juice, saying "mope mope mope" faster and faster, and higher- and higher-pitched, until his head explodes. A face appears on his torso, says "mope" in a slower and lower-pitched voice, and then sticks its tongue out. The narrator responds, "Say, that looks just like... the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. Far out?" The creature smiles while a banner bearing a question mark flies over its head.
• Characters — Character 3 appears and shouts "Baseborg...!", which gradually fades as he melts into a puddle. The narrator comments, "Oh, seepin' it out." The words "seepin' it out" appear in cursive over the puddle.
• Downloads — The narrator sings "The time has come to bend at the knees." A group of three characters (4, 6, and 7; or 9, 10, and 5) appear and bend at the knees, with an accompanying banner.
• Store — Character 2 starts to speak, but the narrator says "Ah ah! No talking!", and Character 2's mouth closes up.
  • Character 2 begins speaking again, and the narrator interrupts with "I said absolutely... no talking." Character 2's mouth is covered with tape.
• E-mail — The background becomes a colorful cloudscape with sparkle effects, and Character 2's eyes become spirals. The narrator declares, "Character 2 has gone and transcended time and space. Why don't we all transcend with him to a higher plane of consciousness? That is both right and far out."
