>>5255491“Apologies for intruding,” Sybil intrudes as she suddenly appears at your side, “but I believe we might have another problem.” When do you <span class="mu-i">NOT!?</span>
Before The Goth can respond, Mitz appears from below deck with a raccoon on her shoulder and a fresh bag of chips in her hands–the former’s head buried in the latter! “What’s the hold up? <span class="mu-g">PITCHFORK ROCK’S</span> just over there.”
Following her gaze to the twisted tower of sharp rocks poking out of the sea, you can’t help but frown as you notice several more mines bobbing between your vessel and your destination. <span class="mu-i">THERE’S</span> her answer, you snap, jabbing a thumb at the explosives.
“About that…” Sighs Sybil, massaging the bridge of her nose at the sudden interruption, “I’m picking up some <span class="mu-r">LIFE</span> below us.”
Wait, <span class="mu-i">what</span>!? You thought <span class="mu-r">SEA BITCH</span> was further out! This thread’s gonna be over in no time!
“Unless it’s that stupid <span class="mu-r">DEMON</span> again.” Talbot grunts, cracking his knuckles menacingly! “Guess it’s time for Round 2, huh?”
“The life signs are too small to be either of them.” Sybil replies, shaking her purple highlighted-head. Mitz cocks her head to the side in confusion.
“Wait a sec–life <span class="mu-i">signs?</span>”
“Indeed…” Sybil frowns as she stares at the murky expanse below your vessel. “Twenty, at <span class="mu-i">least</span>. Too big to be fish.”
Sensing danger, Talbot leaps into action and unceremoniously prods you towards the edge of the boat. “The hell are you waiting for, Stan? Cloak up an’ kick their asses!”
Hey, watch the <span class="mu-i">goods</span>, you snarl, smacking his hand away from your back! Who even cares who’s down there? You’re gonna <span class="mu-i">leave</span> in, like, two seconds!
“Which route are we taking, again?” Mitz asks as she scans the water around you. “Is it the one with the mines, or the one with the mines?”
Neither, <span class="mu-i">GENIUS</span>!
