Normally you know better than to ignore Syb when she’s in <span class="mu-r">GEEK MODE,</span> but hey–if you find some <span class="mu-b">TREASURE</span> you can just buy a <span class="mu-i">NEW</span> Syb, right? Maybe a less-bossy one that’s less attractive than you! Err, not that the current one is, of course!
Pretending you didn’t hear her, you pop your <span class="mu-g">BONE CLAWS</span> and get to levering the box out of the crack. For anyone else it’d be slow-going, but you’re a seasoned alumni of the <span class="mu-g">SCHOOL OF GETTING LOOSE CHANGE OUT OF VENTS AND CRACKS AT WORK!</span>
… when the hell is your building gonna spring for those card-operated laundry machines, anyways?
As the chest wrenches free of its coraly prison, it dawns on you again that none of that shit matters anymore–once this is all over you can probably <span class="mu-i">BUY</span> someone to wash your clothes! Now <span class="mu-i">THAT’S</span> rich!
If Syb notices your tardiness, she doesn’t show it. Muttering in her hole a few feet away, The Goth doesn’t react as you stick a claw into the chest’s locking mechanism.
“Say…” Ly remarks, swooping over to you with suspiciously-good timing, “Dat’ kinda looks like da’ chest Talbot found when he fell off dat’ cliff, don’t it?”
Now that he mentions it, it <span class="mu-i">does</span>! Doesn’t matter, though–this shit’s <span class="mu-i">YOURS!</span> Responding to your bones with a feral snarl, you pop open the chest to get a good glimpse of your findings!
… Hm.
“Well?” Ly asks, leaning in for a closer look. What is he, blind? The first thing you notice is something wrapped in a bundle of a dark, netted mesh of some kind–one that seems to keep the water around you from seeping in. Next to it sits a small <span class="mu-g">JAR</span> of some sort, but the eerie green glass and the bizarre fleshy flakes stacked inside don’t remind you of anything you’ve ever seen on a convenience store shelf.
Must be some foreign snack, or something.
Nestled between the wrapped-up item and the jar, however, are a few <span class="mu-g">GOOEY ORBS–</span> each glowing with a faint blue aura! Scooping one up with your claw, you notice a small, disc-shaped object floating in the middle–its surface fizzing with faint static electricity!
For a moment you consider taking a bite, but you’ve learned that lesson <span class="mu-i">far</span> too many times messing with the electrical panels at work–not <span class="mu-i">this</span> time!
“You gonna unwrap dat’ package in there, or what?” Ly asks, shaking you from your thoughts. Nodding impatiently, you pull the mesh open to reveal…
…<span class="mu-i">Seriously?</span>
