“The most recent infraction is just the words ‘<span class="mu-i">AIR FRYER INCIDENT!</span>’ in all red font.” Mr. Fox sighs, clearly not jazzed about the idea either. “... Parble, do you <span class="mu-i">truly</span> want to put all of our lives and wellbeing into the hands of an employee with an ‘<span class="mu-i">AIR FRYER INCIDENT</span>’ in their file?”
Look <span class="mu-s">HARDER</span>, okay!? Sure, Mitzi can be pretty lazy… and takes jokes too far… and might be an accident waiting to happen, you reply as you count out the list on your fingers, but she’s got the skills where it counts–you can vouch!
“Hmm…” Remarks Mr. Rat as he speaks up from the end of the table, “Her scores in the training exams <span class="mu-i">ARE</span> impressive.”

She’s level-headed, she knows <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY</span> and how to get stuff done–if you stick her behind a reception desk of <span class="mu-i">COURSE</span> she’ll get into mischief… but If you give her something to work towards–to <span class="mu-s">FIGHT</span> for…
Stricken mid-rant by another one of those nausea bouts you’ve been getting lately, you sink back into your seat with a menacing growl as you catch your breath!
