>>5758878Maybe a <span class="mu-i">SNACK</span> will help her decide! Taking one of the pieces of <span class="mu-s">PEPPERONI PIZZA</span> you’ve just… <span class="mu-i">had</span> in your pocket since thread 1, you hold it out to the girl and immediately get the most dramatic ‘<span class="mu-i">BLLEELleLEEUGHHHH!</span>’ you’ve heard in your entire life! It’s <span class="mu-i">PIZZA</span>, you dope–you’re not supposed to hate it! Everyone loves pizza!
“Eeuuggh…. Not with <span class="mu-i">that</span> stuff on it, though…” The fish groans as she somehow grows greener around the gills!
What, you ask as you peel a slice of pepperoni off of the pizza, <span class="mu-i">this</span>?
“NO, that smells <span class="mu-s">GREAT!</span>” She sputters as thin rivulets of drool drip from her crooked teeth, “But something in there… it smells all… <span class="mu-i">stinky</span>...”
Hmm… taking a whiff yourself, you can’t really imagine what she’s talking about! There’s the cheese, of course–a bit less gooey now, but still good! And the tomato sauce-also great! Garlic-
“<span class="mu-s">AAACK! THAT’S IT!</span>” The fish shrieks as she nearly tumbles back into the water! “I don’t like it! Throw it away!”
You blink. But… but it’s <span class="mu-i">garlic</span>, you mutter, truly unable to comprehend her reasoning in the slightest, garlic’s… it’s like <span class="mu-i">LIFE</span> in plant form!
“Nope nope <span class="mu-s">NOPE!</span> No thank youuuu!” Foamy counters, shaking her head to the side with each utterance of the word ‘nope’! “Tell you what: I’ll deal with your ‘<span class="mu-i">KEY-BOALS</span>’ first–the water will clear my nose out a bit!”
Huh. Well okay then… giving the pizza another sniff, you feel whatever’s trying to gain control over you recoil a bit–guess it ain’t a fan of garlic either…
Retreating to the dark water she appeared from, Foamy’s lithe form disappears into the murky depths before you can get another word in. You might have just met the freakish fish thing a moment ago, but you can’t help but feel somewhat <span class="mu-i">slighted</span> at the fact that something could have such an intense dislike of garlic! What the hell!?
You’re about a few more seconds out from getting angry enough to dive in after her before the pool is enveloped in a blinding white light! And another! And <span class="mu-i">ANOTHER!</span> Before you can figure out what’s happening, an unpleasant grinding noise rings out from the turbines as all of the lights in the cave flicker and DIE!
“<span class="mu-s">DIESEL!</span>” Shouts Pepper from afar, “<span class="mu-s">WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?</span>”
<span class="mu-s">YOU TOOK DOWN SOME CABLES! MAYBE!</span>
