After spending quite a good time enjoying the Transients' laughter, Roy decides it’s time to let them go. As much as he enjoyed having all these beefy and tough spirits laughing under his watch, the tickle wall needed some new faces, or rather, paws. Except, to the polar's surprise, the Transients categorically refuse to be let go. Even after Roy undoes their restraints, the men refuse to budge. Seems like they really enjoy their lives as tickle toys. Oh well, nothing much Roy could do, so he simply restrains them again.

After a week or so, he has himself a new paw wall built. This one is a bit larger than the previous, with a sickly medica green straight out of the 50s. And so, Roy begins searching for new people to debut it, in a single universe like last time, instead if tiredly searching in various ones.

He decides to go with the so called “Fortnite universe”; though he had set his sights on it for some time now, it seemed like the quantity of anthros in that place had quadrupled since the polar started messing with portals. Fearing that he wouldn’t have enough space if he waited any longer, Roy connects his machine to that universe.To his surprise, it looked very cartoonish for a place where people constantly killed each other. The polar watches amusedly as, whenever someone is “killed”, they are simply transported to another battleground instead of dying. It was almost Sisyphean.

This gives Roy a nice idea, to use the same tech he used to hijack the Transients portals whenever any of the men he’s interested in is KOd. And so, in no time at all, the wall is filled with the feet of defeated anthros. A mercenary tiger named Oscar, a goofy canine named Wendell, a werewolf named Dire, a sleek lizard named Thunder, a felow polar bear named Polar Patroller, a raccoon covered in trash named Rufus and a humanoid Cerberus dog. He even added a demon named Kurahomura; not an anthro, but still a hot dude with great feet.

After realizing their surroundings are not what they’re meant to be, and seeing that their feet is stuck outside the pod they’re in, the men start to panic. It’s only fair, maybe they had finally died for the last time? As if to rub that idea off, Roy starts to work on the men's feet: he removes Oscar, Thunder and Rufus's shoes and socks, as well as Wendell's stirrups. He also washes Rufus's padded soles pretty thoroughly with a horse brush and a bucket of soapy water. The trash aesthetic wasn’t limited to the visuals it seemed. As he hears the raccoon cackle in laughter, Roy knows he’s in for a treat.

Soon enough, all of the paws in the wall are being tickled one way or another; most were being scrubbed by all kinds of brushes and rollers; Kurohomura had a massager in one of his feet, which seemed to tickle him all the same, while Roy would occasionally scratch those soft and sensitive soles with his claws.

Each one of the fighters was in hysterics, though their expressions varied; Oscar, Kurohomura and Thunder had a rather pissed look contrasting with their smiles, Patroller, Fennix, Rufus and Dire just seemed confused, while Wendell and Cerberus actually seemed to be a bit happy. But Roy had a wild guess that all of them would much rather stay here having their feet tickled than being back on the battlefield, dying and shooting ad nauseam. After all, none had asked to stop…
