First thing’s first, you mutter in an appropriately serious tone–no one gets left behind!
“You left <span class="mu-i">me</span> behind that one time.”
Shut up, Art, you were <span class="mu-i">dead</span>! AS you were saying… <span class="mu-s">NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND.</span> You’re heading downstairs and you’re taking the <span class="mu-r">EXPRESS ROUTE!</span>
After receiving a round of confused stares from your friends, you dispel the mystery by pointing towards the rug in the next room over and earn a round of ‘<span class="mu-i">Ooooh</span>’s for your trouble. Tearing away the rug covering a <span class="mu-r">PERSON-SIZED HOLE BORED INTO THE FLOOR,</span> Gus shoots you an expectant, but still classically-vacant look.
“Ready.”
“You uh… you wanna borrow a gun, big guy?” Eddie asks as he kindly offers the pizza delivery golem his <span class="mu-g">SHOTGUN.</span>
“Nah.” Gus shrugs. “Thanks, though.”
Comforting as that is, you’re not entirely keen on flying blind–snapping your fingers a few times in Syb’s direction, you hiss for her to float on over. She’s needed!
“Understood.” She nods as she floats on over. “With luck we’ll run into our esteemed host along the way…”
“Wit’ <span class="mu-i">our</span> luck? Who can say?” Ly remarks as the three of you take your positions around the pit.
“Hang on!” Talbot shouts in his perpetually-outdoor voice, “What the hell are <span class="mu-i">WE</span> supposed to do, huh!?”
“<span class="mu-i">Th-th-there’s an awful lot of b-bombs under the v-van… M-maybe we m-move it? A-and stay inside?</span>” Denise suggests, dodging an attack from her most recent evil creation: <span class="mu-r">THE RACCOON ON A STICK!</span>
They can figure it out, you snarl! They’re big boys and girls!
“We can watch the perimeter–make sure the creep doesn’t escape topside.” Mitzi shrugs, earning a round of nods from the others.
“From the van, of course.” Tucker suggests, jerking a thumb towards your vehicle where Kiki idly pokes a <span class="mu-r">NAILBOMB</span> with her gun. “I can work my magic on the two survivors in there too.”
<span class="mu-i">GREAT</span>, you groan, now can you <span class="mu-i">PLEASE</span> jump down the <span class="mu-r">DEATHTRAP HOLE</span> now!?
“One more thing:” Art adds, earning a round of groans from the rest of the team, “Shut up! It’s important!”
If this is just to get a smooch from Syb, you’re gonna <span class="mu-i">SLUG</span> him…
>CONTD.
