Bad though they may be, your ghoulish game master didn’t say you had to stick with just one! Relaying your instructions to the devil of your dynamic duo, Rezzie responds about as well as you expect:
“Relying on <span class="mu-i">ME</span> to rescue <span class="mu-s">THE SNACK</span>, ey, Anton? That’s the smartest choice you’ve ever made!”
… Wait a second, you didn’t expect that response at all!
“<span class="mu-i">Splendid choices, you two!</span>” Croons the Capo through the crackling intercom as it finally seems to come to a rest just a few feet in front of you, “<span class="mu-i">And intriguing, to boot! Our extraplanar oddity Anton Peas: Altruistic… or IGNORANT? I suppose we’ll learn soon enough… Viishi?</span>”
A pair of eyes emerge from the inky darkness at the sound of the name–wide, bloodshot eyes… each pupil a pinprick adrift in a sea of reddened sclera.
It’s a girl, you swiftly realize, and it doesn’t take you long to realize she’s been crying! Announcing her arrival with a menacing cackle, Sixface’s voice continues to scurry out from the device seemingly attached to the downtrodden Durher’s chest!
What… what the hell is this?
“<span class="mu-i">You didn’t think I’d let you run off without a HINT, would I?</span>” Sixface sneers as her speaker holder silently trembles like a leaf in a hurricane, “<span class="mu-i">Viishi’s one of your dearest’s YOUNGEST siblings… she said so herself back when she was still in the habit of speaking! Loquacious little thing back then… but The Boss, well, he has a way of doing away with irritating habits…</span>”
“Huh.” Announces Rezalith as she shamelessly prods the catatonic girl’s head, “What’re we supposed to do with this thing anyways?”
It’s–s-she’s not a <span class="mu-i">THING</span>, Rez! Cripes! Kneeling to address the Durher, you force a reassuring smile onto your face. Don’t worry, you begin, you’re gonna get all of them home!
Vhale’s ex doesn’t respond–no words leave her lips, nor does her mortified expression change one bit. As far as you can tell, you’re a ghost to the poor thing…
You just hope the others are still alive.
“<span class="mu-i">Congratulations, dear, you get to leave!</span>” Announces Sixface like a game show host! “<span class="mu-i">Just step through that portal in the back… and if you pray VERY hard for Anton you might just see your other sisters soon too!</span>”
Her freedom won, the girl refuses to budge–her eyes widening as they scan the room for whatever trick or trap the Cartel has in store for her. Upon further examination, you realize she can’t be much younger than Tzah-Tzie… but with the stiff way she carries herself you’d never believe she ever knew how to spea-
“<span class="mu-s">RUN!</span>”
