"The Arctic" is the first segment of the seventh episode of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Synopsis[]
After the heater breaks, the trio's apartment freezes. Paper tries to save his friends while Lou attends Landlord Con.
Plot[]
Rock is trying to communicate telepathically using a telepathy kit that he ordered. Paper tells Rock that the telepathy kit was possibly a scam. Paper then points out how hot it was in the room, as Scissors cranked the heat up just to show off his tank-top. This causes the heater to overload and break, causing the snow from outside to come into the room.
The three go to talk to Lou, their landlord, only for him to tell the three that he was raising their rent. Paper explains to him what happened and that they need him to fix it. Lou tells him that he was going to Landlord Con and that now, his pet cat, Mittens, was in charge while he was gone.
Once the three get back, they see that while they were away, their apartment filled up with snow. Paper suggests that they should stay at his mom's house, but the door is frozen shut, leaving them trapped in the ice cold room. Problems start to arise since they can't call for help and Scissors won't put on a jacket. Suddenly, 3 wolves, a massive polar bear, and an aggressive baby seal move into the apartment and start causing chaos, eating all of their food.
Paper decides that the group should venture to his room, as he planned an emergency survival kit for this kind of situation. However, the entire apartment has turned into the Arctic. The three journey through the harsh conditions with minimal success.
