<<span class="mu-b">"He's been a burden to me, I'll be honest. And I hate how I view him like that."</span>> He doesn't respond for a while. Benedict is staring up at you with a weird look you can't quite describe.
"Am I. FrienD? I. Head feels Funny. I." He can't quite put the words together to describe how he's feeling but you think you get the general idea.
"I hope so, Benedict."
Benedict tries his best to smile. "Th. That Would be Nice, Right?"
"I hope so too." Adam sighs. "I hope all of us can be friends. Thank you for, uh, I guess listening to me rant."
>+0.5 RAPPORT to ADAM and BENEDICT"It's no problem." You nod. "Better to not let those feelings get all pent up, right?"
Ashley finally decides to respond, "We'll see. To be honest, this is just a job for me. Nothing more. Nothing less. But hey, having good coworkers is better than bad ones, righ-"
https://youtu.be/Ek0eoS5AoqY Your chatter is immediately interrupted by the loudest god damn horn you have heard in your life. Your ears are left ringing as your allies try their best to regain their senses. You're only able to hear the captain yelling out something.
You and your allies promptly make a beeline towards the ship before he tries permanently deafening everyone in a five mile radius. You glance back behind at the harbor...
>25: SUCCESS!And you notice something off as the five of you climb aboard the ship. In the distance, you can see a bunch of sailors having an argument near the warehouse. While you can't hear them, you can hear a few things with your MIND READ.
<<span class="mu-b">"I'm not going back on that fucking ship! That asshole is a complete fucking psychopath!"</span>>
<<span class="mu-b">"Those five do know they're being sent to their deaths, right? They're not returning!"</span>>
<<span class="mu-b">"That ship he's searching for, he's not going to find it. If he does, I hope he never returns."</span>>
<<span class="mu-b">"I'm moving to V-Corp! At least their ships are only tasked with fishing! That S.S. FREEDOM is an ill god damn omen!"[/blue}>
<"I can only hope they can find the lifeboat. That mad man has hidden it somewhere. He doesn't want anyone to leave his ship on its voyage.">
Soon, you're out of range of the arguing sailors and your MIND READ. The hell could this captain actually be after that has driven away those sailors? Whatever the case is, the fact he hid the lifeboat is not a good sign at all.
As you five finally board the ship, you quickly toss Benedict over the MOONSTONE and the VIRITOXAP antipsychotics. Almost out of instinct, Benedict dry swallows one of the two pills.
>-MOONSTONE, -VIRITOXAP PILLS>BENEDICT'S UNSTABLE BANE HAS BEEN WEAKENED.Ashley narrows her eyes at you. You simply show her the SALTRIL pills you have. She mumbles something to herself before turning her attention elsewhere.
As your group boards the ship, your phone buzzes. You open your phone quickly so you can read it before you're stuck in the middle of the sea.</span>
