<span class="mu-i">MAN</span>, you groan as you push past your pals, dramatic, much? Your rubber boots squeak quietly on the marble-like floor as you approach the flickering orb of energy housed next to the gate. Alien or not, you shrug, you’ve been breaking into places since Thread 1–hell, way <span class="mu-i">earlier</span> than that!
“Yes, as I recall we’re <span class="mu-i">still</span> banned from that froyo shop…” Sybil says with a disappointed look in her eyes. “But Stanley, this is <span class="mu-b">MAGICAL</span> energy we’re dealing wi-”
And from what you’ve seen so far, you counter as you give the orb a closer inspection, <span class="mu-b">MAGIC’S</span> more of an <span class="mu-i">art</span> than a science–so what’s wrong with improvising a bit?
“I mean… did you already forget the <span class="mu-i">whale</span>?” Art asks as you cautiously poke a finger at the flickering ball of energy. “Because <span class="mu-i">I</span> didn’t forget the whale.”
‘<span class="mu-i">Whale</span>’ he can chill, alright? You’ve got this! Just uh, you mutter, waving the others away with a dismissive gesture, just keep an eye out for that robot thing!
Having thoroughly investigated what you’re dealing with, you can confirm that the orb is housed in a small recess next to the gate–its light changing color every few seconds.
The gate itself still hurts to stare at, and though you haven’t messed with it yet, you feel an almost static field emanating from its surface. The fact that it’s sealed shut with teeth like protrusions doesn’t make you feel any more confident.
“Fine. Don’t go disintegrating yourself, alright?” Art grumbles as he and the others cover your back. Hah! You don’t even know the meaning of the word!
“She really doesn’t.”
Shut <span class="mu-i">uuuuuup</span>, Ly!
Okay, so you actually have <span class="mu-i">no</span> clue whatsoever how to do this. You... you <span class="mu-i">don't</span> got this. But uh... if you <span class="mu-i">were</span> going to open it, what would you do first?
>POKE THE ORB!
>TALK TO THE ORB!
>CHUCK SOMETHING AT THE ORB!
>HAVE ONE OF THE OTHERS FIDDLE WITH THE ORB OR GATE! (WHO?)
>TAP THE ORB WITH YOUR MAGIC-CHARGED PRISM!
>GIVE THE ORB SOME FOOD!
>BACKUUM UP THE ORB!
>GIVE UP AND LET SYB TRY IT!
>TRY TO FIND A VENT!
>TRACK DOWN THAT ROBOT THING!
>WRITE-IN!
