>>5248442Once you notice your ship, you can't help but wonder how you missed it before--clad in a fresh coat of black and white paint, The <span class="mu-i">Dramatic Irony</span> sticks out like a particularly flashy sore thumb amidst the other dinghies, speedboats, and sailboats moored along the dock! Sleek and flashy, you venture to call it a yacht, though you're not exactly a <span class="mu-r">SHIP BITCH</span>, so...
"All aboard! <span class="mu-s">GOB!</span>" Leading the charge, Tory immediately heads for the wheel tucked away in a small, closed-off cockpit just under a small seating area. Following along, you take note of the staircase leading deeper into the boat's innards and what appears to be some kind of bedroom/living room combo!
"Aye aye!" Laughs Thelonius as he and Darwin make quick work of the mooring lines with their sharp claws! "We're away, boss!"
"And away we go..." Whispers Mitz as she quietly enters the cockpit behind Tory.
"<span class="mu-s">GOB!</span> We'll park it a bit further past the van signal, then!" Announces the turkey as he quietly adjusts the throttle. As the ship lurches forward, you spot two sets of eyes looking back at you from below deck--one of which glows with an eerie blue aura!
"All set." Reports Ly as his <span class="mu-g">ASTRAL FORM</span> emerges from the water before merging into your body. "Told 'em da' name and they spotted it lickety-split." The skeleton pauses. "These guys ain't da' sharpest knives in da' drawer, are they?"
No, you whisper as you give the eyes a wink, but don't let that fool ya--stupid things can still be <span class="mu-i">real</span> dangerous, you know!
"I can hardly imagine..." Ly replies in a sardonic voice. "I told those two ta' wait for yer' signal--they'll act on their own unless you tell 'em otherwise."
Groovy, you nod, then the trap is basically set!
"Yep!"
The sudden voice behind you nearly makes you hop out of your disguise! Whirling around, you lock eye sockets with a now-familiar crocodile!
"Say, did you see something down there?"
You shrug--nope! Seems clear!
"Hrmm..." He growls, taking a few sniffs of the air, "You're the expert, I guess. Just holler if you notice anything!"
Drawing his <span class="mu-r">TOMMY GUN,</span> Darwin gives his feline friend a nod as the two take separate positions around the vessel--Darwin watching the shore via the top-floor seating area, Thelonius watching from the bow.
“Well…” Ly hisses as the boat lazily floats along the dock, “Here we are…”
Damn right! The question is, how do you take this darn boat?
