It’s a long shot, but you think you’ve got something approaching an idea! Clearing your throat a bit, you deftly lay a little trap as you answer your ‘<span class="mu-i">pal</span>’:
Lil’ Stanley was, uh, was probably messing with the dial while you weren’t looking, you explain. Dumb animal.
“Well whatever…” Mitzi drones as the dumb animal in question shoots you a dirty look from your shoulder. Hey, keep those ears closed! “So listen-”
Odd question, you interject, but does she remember what you were wearing the first time she met your brother? You uh… it’s important for a puzzle.
Having set the trap, you bite your lip as a moment of silence passes between you and the radio.
“You uh… you alright, Stan?” Mitzi asks after a long pause. “You didn’t eat any weird plants down there, did you?”
Not <span class="mu-i">recently</span>, you shrug! Why?
“Because I’ve never <span class="mu-i">met</span> your brother before, dude–not even on the last day of camp. Which was a shame, given how much you talked about the guy.”
You allow yourself to breathe a sigh of relief away from the radio’s receiver before answering her question. That was a test, you explain, and she <span class="mu-i">passed</span>!
“Neat. What do I win?”
Well for starters, you continue, you aren’t gonna hang up on her!
“... yea, pretty sure you can’t do that on a radio, but you’re welcome to try.”
Later! Here’s the scoop, Mitz-
“Oh, Gus says hi.”
Hi, Gus. So like you were saying, things have gotten a little hairy down here.
“Like ‘<span class="mu-i">usual</span>’ hairy, or ‘<span class="mu-i">bad</span>’ hairy?”
You’re gonna chalk it up to ‘<span class="mu-i">bad</span>’: The lab’s been overrun by <span class="mu-r">DEMONS</span> and you’re pretty sure they’re trying to fuck with your mind!
“Yikes. You’ve got a plan, though, right?”
Of <span class="mu-i">COURSE</span> you do, you snap! She knows better than anyone how you handle stuff around here!
“Uh, sure… so listen, just wanted you to know that your <span class="mu-g">GREASER PALS</span> were trying to reach ya’ over the radio.”
You light up with glee! Is… is she talking about <span class="mu-g">HAULIE PAULIE!?</span>
“Pretty sure it was the other guy–the one who could go toe-to-toe with Eddie in a ‘hype-off’. Eddie says hey too, by the way.”
Hey, Eddie!
