In the arcade the slobs play games against each other, [[Naughty Nancy]] losing to Tommy, and [[Zeke the Sneak]] reading a list of cheat codes in the corner. Three new slobs show up, [[Jill Thrill]], [[Babyface]], and [[Stu Spencer]], all of whom act in ways different from the rest of the cast. Jill is a daredevil racer, Babyface is a wrestling baby, and Stu is an [[influencer]]. The appearance of these three prompts [[The Reader (The Crikeytown Cancellations)|The Reader]] to wonder how they just showed up.

Nancy is worried, there are only so many girls who are relevant, and while she's top dog, Jill Thrill could replace her. So Nancy decides that Jill has to have an accident, calling together Zeke and [[Ned Ed]], playing on the former's insecurity and suggesting that Jill wants to erase the later, in order to recruit them for her scheme. She assures the two that all that will happen is running the three new characters out of town. | Nancy is worried, there are only so many girls who are relevant, and while she's top dog, Jill Thrill could replace her.

In his hideout, Sammy expresses concern that the town is going to vanish in two days at the latest, and neither he nor Jill has an answer. But The Reader points out that this is a story in a Faction Paradox anthology, they could just ask [[Faction Paradox|The Faction]] for some help. Sammy loves the idea but has no clue how to do so. [[The Editor (The Crikeytown Cancellations)|The Editor]], complaining that he has to fix yet another story, says he'll find a way to write Faction Paradox into this one. | In his hideout, Sammy expresses concern that the town is going to vanish in two days at the latest, and neither he nor Jill has an answer.
