EVERYONE DIP
HAS TO DEAL WITH.
The cast is officially called “The Refrigerated Community.” Unofficially, Dip calls them “people who have my number.”
Dippington “Dip” Cone III
STATUS: MOIST OCCUPATION: TARGETAnxious, polite, prone to catastrophic forecasting. Keeps a will in his chocolate shell where nobody can access it.
Myrna Napkin
ABSORBENCY: 2-PLY INTENT: UNCLEARA funeral director, claims adjuster, and former pageant queen. Dip believes her career is “suspiciously melt-adjacent.” She says that's prejudiced.
Steve Spoon
MATERIAL: STAINLESS THREAT: ACCIDENTALA perfectly pleasant spoon who cannot understand why Dip screams whenever he enters the room. Steve works in accounting.
Dr. Milton Soft Serve
PHD: DISPUTED LAB COAT: REALThe world's leading expert on Dipped Cone emergence because he printed that on his own business card. Has been banned from three freezers.
The Sprinkles Collective
COUNT: CHANGING VOICE: ONEThirty-seven sprinkles sharing a single consciousness and a hatchback. They speak in unison except Kevin, who is half a second late.
The Sun
DISTANCE: NOT ENOUGH MOTIVE: PHYSICSNot technically a villain. Dip has submitted 46 complaints anyway. All were returned because the Sun has no mailing address.
Consumer 4B
IDENTITY: UNKNOWN TEETH: TOO MANYA recurring giant presence seen only in security footage, reflected glass, and Dip's stress dreams. May simply be a person named Cheryl.
Mother Freezer
TEMP: 0°F ROLE: SPIRITUALAn ordinary commercial freezer that Dip considers a maternal figure. It has never reciprocated, but its compressor once clicked twice.
