"Arrr, that be a good '<span class="mu-i">arrr</span>', it be, especially for a wench!" Remarks Two-Patch as he gives Mitzi an encouraging slap on the back! "Ye could learn a thing or two, lad."
You'll learn when you <span class="mu-i">FEEL</span> like it, alright!? AR! Now answer her damn question already!
"Aye, the question..." Two-Patch nods, exchanging looks with the ceiling above the parrot's head. "Folk be tellin' tales of another who was wronged by that Parble lass-"
"If she even <span class="mu-i">BE</span> a lass!" Hisses Nor'easter with a worried look on his bearded face! "I hear she be born from a land critter--one wit’ a bandit’s mask that laid wit' a <span class="mu-r">DEMON!</span>"

You and Mitzi exchange a worried glance. Who did you--er, <span class="mu-i">STAN</span>... piss off <span class="mu-i">this</span> time? And why the heck did they leave them <span class="mu-i">ALIVE?</span>

"Aye," Snarls the parrot as you jealously guard your tankard from their beak, "it be a fine diversion while that damnable <span class="mu-r">SEA BEAST</span> still roams the waters... SQUAAAAWK!"
“Stan!” Ly exclaims, leaping back into your body from a scouting mission you don’t remember sending him on, “It’s-”

Oh... oh <span class="mu-i">no...</span>
The owner of the voice can barely fit through the door: stomping in on the skeletal legs of a bear and sporting a set of sharp matching claws sits a long, snakelike sequence of vertebrae culminating in the skull of a bird you never wanted to see again....
A <span class="mu-i">turkey</span>.
