Chief Operating Officer/C.O.O. "Fight"

The Chief Operating Officer fight involves Toons standing in the elevator of his office and listening to him talk for long periods of time. Once done, he'll reward Toons with an item exclusive to that April Toons event.

## April Toons 2020

Once arrived, the Toons will encounter Ottoman who states he has some work to do still and hopes the Toons don't mind if he rambles on while he continues his paperwork. Ottoman welcomes the Toons company and will talk to the Toons periodically while continuing his work. Music tracks play on the radio in the background.

"I didn't expect you all so suddenly."
"Well, go ahead and make yourself comfortable. I will be sitting here doing my work."
*(1 minute pause)*
"Did I forget to water Bubby..."
"Oh, sorry."
"I have a tendency to mumble and ramble to myself, Hope that isn't a bother."
"As for Bubby, he is the plant outside. Keeps things looking nice, don't you think?"
"Robert doesn't like him though, he keeps trying to get rid of Bubby."
"Robert has always been the short-tempered one."
"I'm usually the one who has to sit there while fire comes from his mouth."
"I am quite literal when I say that too."
"Actually fire comes from his mouth and its quite scary."
"How does such a little robot have so much anger in him?"
"Ah, I shouldn't say that out loud. My apologies."
"Don't get me wrong, he's a great boss and I am glad for the position he gave me..."
"But there are days when I wish I was something else."
"Startup a business of my own, you know?"
"Something small, not too stressful. Unlike C.O.G.S. Inc."
"Actually, do you think the Chairman might be so moody due to the stress he has to endure?"
"He runs the company almost highhandedly and there isn't an outlet for him to relax."
"Now that I think about it, I have NEVER seen him relax."
"Not even once, it's work, work, work for him."
"No breaks, no pauses, just go, go, go."
"Maybe he needs a hobby."
"Maybe he could write an autobiography?"
"He talks a lot about documenting his brilliance."
"He really is a great writer and has quite a history behind him."
"I don't really want to get into it, but I'm sure he'll open up eventually."
*(2 minute pause)*
"OHH! This one is my jam!"
*(30 second pause)*
"So, the Chief Justice is gone."
"Yea, you probably are already aware John is gone."
"Anyways, I was actually THERE when the event happened."
"I have never seen Robert so livid in his life."
"The confidence exuding from John, he walked right up to Robert like he wasn't even there."
"No fear in his eyes whatsoever."
"Well, I shouldn't say eyes. I still don't know if he has any."
"No, wait. I am sure he does..."
"... unless he's blind or something of the sort."
"You've fought John I assume."
"Does he have eyes or not?"
"Hmm. I guess that's a mystery that will probably never be solved. Oh well."
*(3.5 minute pause)*
"I forgot to mention earlier, but I assume you came to fight the Chairman?"
"Well about that..."
"He's kinda busy at the moment with the construction."
"I'm actually filling out paperwork right now regarding it."
"Nonetheless, I'm glad to have company."
*(3.5 minute pause)*
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmhmhmhmhmhmhm."
*(5 minute pause)*
"I got complimented earlier today."
"Someone said I have a nice tie."
"First time in a long while that someone has complimented me."
"Usually people just step on me."
"Literally."
*(1 minute pause)*
"Now, I don't wanna be that guy..."
"But do you mind if I vent about my in-laws?"
"..."
"Cool."
"So, my sister-in-law acts like she is a perfect saint."
"Keyword being "acts.""
"She's definitely doing something behind Robert's back, and I don't like it."
"One of these days, she'll break his hollow heart."
"And you know who will have to pick up the pieces?"
"Me. The only family he hasn't disowned yet."
*(1 minute pause)*
"Uh, well... scrap."
"That got awkward fast."
"My apologies, I shouldn't have brought up my family."
"You are probably expecting a reward. Let's see what I got here..."
"OH!"
"I got some T-Shirts that Robert wanted to give out at Boardbot HQ's completion!"
"He decided against them cause' he "ALWAYS WINS!""
"So, uh, You can have them, I guess..."
"Just leave me be so I can do my work."
"Peace, Toons."

## April Toons 2021

Once the Toons enter the Ottoman's office after boarding the elevator at Boredbot HQ, Ottoman will welcome the Toons again and begin talking about the events of the year since he was last "fought."

"It's good to see you. I hope you have been doing well."
"This past year has been... interesting, to say the least."
"A lot has happened, you know."
"Besides the completion of Lawbot Headquarters, there's been a lot of crazy happenings around here."
"The longest "me time" I've had in the past year lasted about five minutes."
"But that's okay. I'm used to it."
*(25 second pause)*
"I am usually not a bot to worry, but have you checked on Bubby recently?"
"You see, for the past few months, Bubby has been wilting."
"I was wondering what the cause of it was."
"I've tried many solutions, such as changing the amount of water I give him, changing his spot..."
"I even bought one of those insect catchers thinking THAT was the problem."
"It turns out, he simply needed a new pot."
"After a few days, he was back to his normal, lively self."
"In fact, he was looking better than usual."
"He's kind of my only friend at this point."
"He's a great listener and always manages to brighten the room when I am feeling down."
"If you took the time to get to know Bubby, I think you'd like him too."
*(1 minute pause)*
"Last year, Robert got furious about Toons breaking into his headquarters."
"I think it had to do with firing the last high-ranking security Goon, but that's just my theory..."
"A Goon theory, if you will."
*(2 minute pause)*
"OOH! This one is my jam!"
"I remember when Lawbot Headquarters was finished, I thought it would be nice to give Judy a plant."
"I think it was a smaller Ficus Elastica, almost like what Bubby is."
"I named her Holly because she seemed like such a sweet plant."
"I grew her myself. I thought that Judy would be the perfect Suit to take care of her."
"In all honesty, she needs very little water."
"So, it shouldn't take Judy that much effort, given how busy she is."
"I wonder how Holly is doing."
*(3.5 minute pause)*
"I heard Ms. Morsecode has been having a lot of success lately."
"Well, err, correction; success with managing Lawbot Headquarters."
"I know she has been struggling with you Toons, even after the Litigation Team was hired."
"No offense, by the way, I am sure you have a reason."
*(3.5 minute pause)*
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmhmhmhmhmhmhm"
*(4.5 minute pause)*
"I got to see my nephew recently."
"It's hard to believe that he's learning about logistics now."
"He still has so much to learn, but you can tell that he is Robert's son."
"My brother cherishes him, which I am thankful for."
"I know that technically he and his ex still aren't in good relations, but at least Robert takes the responsibility when it comes to his son."
"Though, I kind of wish my sister-in-law at least cared enough to buy him a gift for his build-day."
"Nevertheless, seeing Robert relax for once and act this caring..., it's incredibly heartwarming."
"I smile just thinking about it."
"Don't tell Robert I said any of this."
"He'd lose his mind if he knew I talked about his family to you Toons."
"But I felt it was important enough to explain that Robert isn't as bad as others make him out to be."
"Maybe when I am not as busy, I can show you some pictures of little Bobby Jr.."
*(15 second pause)*
"It just hit me that I haven't introduced the others here."
"I must've upset them without saying a word. I am a terrible host."
"Well, to make up for it, I can introduce you to them."
"The one to the left, closest to you, that's Ginger. She's quiet but loves attention."
"The one on the right is Ivy. She's fussy and a handful to deal with, but I like her regardless."
"Closest to the left wall is Ash. He's cheerful and ambitious."
"Olive is the plant right next to me. Usually, she serves as a reminder to do tasks or water the plants."
"To the right is Layton. He's quite intelligent and always knows the exact amount of water he wants."
"And finally, the plant in the back is Mark. He likes to be around people."
*(10 second pause)*
"I know what you might be thinking."
"How do I feel about the whole "first-ever death" thing?"
"To be honest, I wish I had an answer."
"Mr. Wing was quite an intelligent Suit. I heard he graduated in Wisgonesin with top marks."
"I was grieving after all that, but honestly, you should worry about his son."
"After Atticus died, he became the only Wing family member."
"From what I heard, after he got the news, he disappeared. But he got a TON of money out of it."
"According to Robert, Atticus' death bankrupted a massive chunk of existing life insurance companies. I think his son is a near-trillionaire now."
"Crazy if you think about that..."
"But money won't bring back his dad, unfortunately."
"Oh. uh.
"I made it really awkward again, didn't I?"
"Apologies."
"Well, thanks for keeping me company, I guess."
"Now uh, you were probably expecting a reward."
"I'm going to be honest, I don't have one."
"But! I have a bunch of old ties that I need to get rid of."
"If you want to take one, feel free."
"See ya, Toons"

## April Toons 2022

Ottoman returns once again for the April Toons 2022 event. In this year's conversation he talks about a large variety of contents and brings a much larger amount of new music tracks being teased compared to previous years. Toons will receive a special hat for completing this iteration of the fight.

"It is so good to see your face again. You look like you've grown a bit."
"I hope your life has been well in the last year."
"Even if it hasn't, you are here - choosing to spend your time with me."
"I appreciate that. No one comes around to listen to my rambles."
"Go ahead and make yourself comfortable; I will be here, doing paperwork as usual."
*(15 second pause)*
"May I ramble about a coworker?"
"You see, it's about Robert's secretary, Jennifer."
"I like her, I do. She is positively weird and quirky."
"She talks far more than I do, and ever will. I swear I was stuck in a conversation for nearly two whole days."
"But my point is that it gets painfully quiet when she's not around."
"She fills the space, but every Suit can tell when she isn't there. It's relieving, but uncomfortable."
"I think she is out doing some interviews?"
"I know Robert mentioned something about a new hire to the company. I can't say for sure."
*(1 minute pause)*
"Speaking of Jennifer, you know I am not a person of gossip."
"But it's kind of hard to avoid it when Jennifer comes in with other girls talking so loudly about stuff."
"I often hear things that I probably shouldn't."
"Like how the other secretaries think that Jason may like someone."
"Kind of hard to believe really, since he is... uh..."
"Phlegmatic."
"I might have some suspicion of who the secretaries are hinting at."
"I won't say who for the sake of privacy and such. I keep my secrets... for the most part."
"Never understood romance personally, but I don't judge based on who likes who."
"Hmph. As long as you aren't that shoddy piece of malware, Crystalline."
*(1 minute, 15 second pause)*
"So uh... this will be odd to explain."
"So, I usually do have routines to make sure that all the plants are doing okay; making sure they are watered and healthy."
"However, one time, I noticed a few stray seeds near Bubby and I was just curious as to what they were, so I planted one."
"Turns out, I am now a grandfather."
"Didn't think I would be one this early in my lifespan."
"I am actually having a bit of a struggle naming him, I was thinking something simple this time."
"Maybe Bubby Jr.?"
"What do you think? I might give it a bit before I finally decide on it."
*(20 second pause)*
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmhmhmhmhmhmhm"
*(2.5 minute pause)*
"Oh."
"OH! Speaking of junior!"
"I nearly forgot that I promised I would share some photos of Bobby Jr.!"
"Luckily, I remembered to bring my wallet this time!"

"Looks just like his father, huh?"
"He is reticent, but I know he appreciates being around his father and the company."
"He doesn't come around to me anymore like he used to, which is fine."
"I understand that we all must age, and even Robert had his rebellious streak."
"It happens and it is part of growing up."
*(7.5 minute pause)*
"You guys are good listeners. Do you mind if I get something else off my chest?"
"Thanks."
"I will be honest, I am nervous."
"Recently the Suit Safety Inspection Association has put out a new mandate on Suit upgrades to help improve our quality."
"I am a Suit who hates change, just a little bit; and I don't like to change anything about myself."
"I am content with how I look right now, but a new body upgrade is to be put into effect soon."
"Everyone is getting it, including my brother."
"I guess I am just nervous about the process, you know?"
"I doubt that it'll be as bad as I think. It's like regular service, right?"
"I just know I had an awful encounter with a small red dog who used a piano on me."
"My brother wasn't happy."
*(20 second pause)*
"This has to be one of my new favorites."
"Something about this temp always makes my foot tap; it is oddly catchy."
"Until recently, I have never heard this kind of music from a Suit radio station."
"You know what is funny... It reminds me of that one area in Toontown that you have."
"Something Melodyland, right?"
"Chris often talked about how philharmonic that area is; music playing wherever you go."
"It makes you think though, just imagine if Toons and Suits collaborated."
"It would definitely be out of the ordinary."
"Could it happen? Maybe, I can't be the one to determine that."
"Oh, would you look at the time; didn't realize it's been so long."
"Thanks for sticking around and listening to me talk."
"I do hope you visit again soon. You are pleasant to be around."
"Oh uh, I guess I should give you something... I always do."
"I am not a person of craftsmanship, but I have this hat."
"It's a plant hat! That you can wear on your head!"
"I hope it'll do. Again, thanks for visiting."
"See you later."

Bobby Jr. and The ChairmanOttoman's ID
## MAYpril Toons 2023

As always, Toons once again got to visit the Chief Operating Officer during the MAYpril Toons 2023 event. In this year's conversation he talks about some upcoming hires to the company and talks about some of the Regional Managers.

Dividend King: What was that?!
C.O.O.: "Oh, the elevator does that randomly sometimes."
"I haven't gotten around to filing a maintenance request yet."
"Anyway, thank you for the notice. I will send a representative to this meeting."
Dividend King: "The pleasure is mine."
*The Dividend King flies away.*
*The elevator door opens.*
C.O.O.: You Toons are lucky that I can control the elevator from my desk."
"If that Suit had seen you, I would have been required to report this security breach to Robert."
"Regardless, it's good to see you again."
"I don't have any other appointments today, so feel free to stick around while I fill out some forms."
*(30 second pause)*
"You are probably interested in knowing who that Suit was."
"Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to tell you that information."
"I will inform you that major changes are on the horizon for this company."
"Robert was quite angry when the new regional managers failed to abate your silliness."
"I don't think I've seen him this angry since John quit."
"He's having me file paperwork for a number of new hires. That Suit you heard was one of them."
*(30 second pause)*
"I wonder if recent events have made him insecure about the state of his company."
"Inter-company negotiations allowed us the opportunity to visit our parents a few weeks ago."
"I took this opportunity. I have nothing against my parents, and it was nice to see them for the first time in a while."
"But my brother did not. Something about 'a lack of availability' and 'wanting nothing to do with his parents.'"
"Between you and me, I think he resembles them a lot more than he wants anyone to believe."
*(40 second pause)*
*The C.O.O.'s face turns red for a second.*
"He wants to hire HER?"
"Sorry, I probably shouldn't be talking about this around you."
"My brother's paperwork for new hires includes a form for Crystalline."
"That screwheaded malaprop should have a fruit pie thrown in her face."
"It would certainly mess up her appearance, which seems to be the only thing she cares about."
*(40 second pause)*
"I don't know why Robert is still married to her."
"It is unclear to me what positive qualities she brings to their relationship."
"That isn't to say that I am any expert on the subject."
"I have never been in a relationship with anyone, and I have no current interest in changing that."
"At the same time, I'd hardly describe Crystalline's feelings for my brother as romantic."
"She is using him for some ulterior motive, and he cannot see through the act."
"And I've already seen how it has changed him."
*(40 second pause)*
"Before all of this happened, me and my brother were very close."
"I followed him as he founded this company.
"I accepted my role as second best. Not that I minded, of course."
"Now that Crystalline is here, it feels like I'm third... fourth... maybe fifth best."
"He doesn't talk to me much anymore. At least, not outside of the business."
"My brother is my lifeline to the rest of the Suit world. Without him, all I have are my plants."
"Anyway, forgive me for dreading the idea of my sister-in-law as a coworker."
*(1 minute pause)*
"I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me."
"My lack of interest in romance does not preclude me from fraternizing with other Suits."
"For example, Mary and I chat quite frequently."
"You may have encountered her in the Offshoring & Drilling District."
"We have a lot in common. We're both quite passionate about non-Suit life."
"I wonder if there's a 'Bubby' in her life."
"I sure hope so. Everyone deserves a Bubby in their life."
*(40 second pause)*
"Come to think of it, I suspect Mary may have one already."
"She has told me about a rather fashionable Suit operating in the Stone & Iron District."
"This Suit is a Ms. Holly Grayelle. I found her to be rather cold and difficult to understand."
"However, despite the overwhelming odds, Mary seems to have taken an interest in her design advice."
"Holly seems to believe that if Mary realigns certain parts of her helmet, it will offset your environmental impact."
"Something about an influx of positive corporate energy offsetting the negative Toon energy."
"At least, that's what she told me. I suspect it's more complicated than that."
"Regardless, Mary has taken this advice to heart and is trying her best to get this positive energy."
"She seems to be more productive on company time, so more power to her."
*(1 minute, 15 second pause)*
"Unfortunately, not all Suits are destined to be friendly towards each other."
"Mary told me that she has been having problems with one of our managers in the Woodchip & Paper District."
"His name is Spruce, and if Mary is to be believed, he's a real loudmouth."
"She told me about a time where they were discussing the environment."
"My apologies, I should say that Mary was telling Spruce about the importance of caring for the environment."
"She asked him a question to determine his feelings about the subject."
"He laughed in her face and said that the environment 'ain't no mattah anymoah than I can chop it down!'"
"I apologize if my impersonation of him is not entirely accurate, but that was how Mary conveyed his accent to me."
*(30 second pause)*
"I always try to be understanding of people, even if they don't make sense to me."
"Spruce may come off as rude, but perhaps it's an effect of his environment."
"I read his application and he was apparently a lumberjack before he became involved with our company."
"What effect does that have on someone, being a lumberjack?"
"To do nothing but chop down trees and talk to other people with strange accents that also chop down trees."
"They don't even harvest the resources! That's where entities like us get involved."
"No wonder he sees no use in forest conservation: it's bad for his business."
"I mean, look at me. I love my plants, but I stay out of Robert's way when he wants to tear up your land for its resources."
"The business is important to Robert, so it's important to me as well."
"It would be prudent for Mary to keep her feelings from spreading too far if she wants to advance further in the company."
*(50 second pause)*
"You probably noticed the plate of cookies on the table."

"Those were a gift from Belle. You've probably seen her in the Brass & Shipping District."
"I would have offered you some, but they're made of ginger tar and crude morsels."
"I don't think you would like them very much."
"You would probably like Belle, though. She's a very nice Suit."
"Judy really likes her too, although I suspect it's for more gossip-y reasons than myself."
*(1 minute, 15 second pause)*
"Belle actually gave me a good idea for promotional material the other day."
"You see, we at the Coal, Oil, and Gas Syndicate like to promote feel-good stories about intracompany affairs."
"Studies have shown that our employees are inspired to work harder upon reading these stories."
"At least, that's the official line. I suspect Robert just does it to feed his ego."
"Anyway, we have this manager named Tawney that operates in the Luxury Suites & Textiles District."
"Like me, they enjoy listening to the radio. In particular, they enjoy the shows on Suitopia FM."
"Their favorite host quit some time ago to pursue a new opportunity in the corporate sector."
"An unfortunate event, certainly, and Tawney was sullen about it."
"We began to worry that it might affect their productivity."
*(1 minute pause)*
"We decided to track down the radio host with the intent of offering them a lot of money to return to their radio show."
"However, we ran into a slight problem: the host was pursuing an opportunity with the Coal, Oil, and Gas Syndicate."
"This Suit, a Dana S. Charme, is actually a high-ranking manager in our company."
"Onboarding managers is an expensive and time-consuming process, so we couldn't have them return to their old job at that point."
"However, we did arrange for a 'chance' meeting between the two in the Luxury Suites & Textiles District."
"They've gotten along quite well, and Tawney's productivity has risen significantly."
*(50 second pause)*
"I apologize, I've gotten sidetracked. This is supposed to be about the idea that Belle gave me."
"Several weeks ago, I was given an invitation to a knitting get-together."
"I had never knitted before in my life, but I thought that there was no better time than the present to start."
"On the day of the meeting, I went to this swanky music parlor in the Brass & Shipping District."
"I went up this set of stairs past a ticket booth, and you wouldn't believe who was there."
"Tawney was there, and so was Dana, Judy, Courtney, and Barry! And Belle was hosting the whole thing!"
"I was a bit uncomfortable at first, surrounded by all these Suits and being someone who had never knit before."
"But Belle showed me how to knit, and I ended up having a good time knitting and chatting with these other Suits."
"I don't think Courtney stopped talking for the entire meeting."
"Also, I had to poke Tawney and Barry awake at the end."
*(45 second pause)*
"Right at the end of the meeting, I went to say goodbye to Belle."
"She was still in a chatty mood, so we conversed some more."
"Belle suggested that the company should have an ad campaign centered around our textile division."
"She says that her grandkids make heavy use of our textile products."
"As someone who also uses these products, I think that's a dandy idea."
"I've forwarded it to Allan, who seemed open to it."
"I hope it gets added to the Sellbot agenda for the next shareholder's meeting. It's the least I could do for Belle."
*(50 second pause)*
"I'm almost done with my paperwork, so I'll have to leave soon."
"Before you go, I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
"So, Bobby Jr. recently celebrated his build-day."
"I wanted to get him a gift, so I thought I'd make him something."
"I used my newfound knitting skills to make him a sweater."
"But when I brought it to him, he wouldn't accept it."
"Apparently it's not a 'smart financial decision' to accept sweaters from your uncle."
"So now I have a sweater that I'd like to give to you."
"I figured that you might appreciate it."
"Anyway, I'm going to go file this paperwork. Thanks for stopping by, as always."
"I'll see you some other time."
