You begin to zone out, like you often do, wondering what it'd be like to jump in. It sounds like fun, but you're not a very good swimmer. You think about all the possibilities and fun memories that could come from going for a swim. You think about what Felino might look like in a swimsuit... You're hopeless. Pat looks at you, curious about what you're looking at and thinking about.
"Hey, Fido, you on the same planet as us, buddy?"
You're almost startled by his words as you're brought back into the real world. You suggest under your breath that you should go follow Eric. Pat snickers.
"I have no idea what you just said, dude."
Felino steps in.
"I think he's saying we should go follow Eric, Pat."
Pat groans. "Fine, but if he hasn't found anything cool I'm out of here."
Pat leads the way in the direction he believes Eric went. You push through some shrubbery before coming out into a small area. In front of you is an old abandoned house that looks like it hasn't been touched in years. Pat swallows.
"Okay, Eric is dead, that's good to know. Let's go, guys."
Pat tries to walk away but Felino grabs him by the back of the neck and drags him to her side.
"No! He's not dead. Don't be a coward."
"Says the girl who wouldn't eat a little mushroom!"
Felino scoffs. "Oh, whatever..."
It's then that a horrifying groan can be heard from inside the house. Pat basically jumps out of his skin, but his fear turns to anger when he sees Eric stick his head out the window of the house with a cheeky look on his face.
"Oh, come on, man! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
Eric chuckles. "Sorry, I had to."
You feel yourself let out a breath you didn't know you were holding.
>Scold Eric>Make fun of Pat>Ask about the house>See if Felino is okay>Something else
