You don’t <span class="mu-i">HAVE</span> to be careful, you whisper as a grin creeps across your face! You’ve got a <span class="mu-b">MAGIC SKELETON!</span>
“Yea!” Ly cheers!
…
…And uh… you add, you kinda expected him to, y’know, <span class="mu-i">do</span> something by now.
“Wha?” Asks your skeleton in a puzzled tone. “I thought you were just praisin’ me…”
No, you mutter as you facepalm in annoyance, you want him to go check it out! Emerging from your body in his <span class="mu-g">ASTRAL FORM,</span> the ghostly skeleton gives you an irritated look. “Y’know, you could stand ta’ be a little more specific.”
And he could stand to be a little <span class="mu-i">FASTER</span>, you growl! Now go check the damn alley! Giving you the one-finger salute, Ly phases through the door as you lean against the wall next to it. Sending a friendly wave towards a passing group of <span class="mu-i">very</span> confused chefs, it dawns on you that you still look like some kind of <span class="mu-r">SEWER COWGIRL.</span> Maybe a change of clothes is in order?
“<span class="mu-s">VENT!</span>” Bursting out of the wall next to you, Ly frantically jabs his finger in the direction of the maintenance passage screaming like a deranged farmer! “<span class="mu-s">VEEEENT!</span>”
He’d better <span class="mu-i">VENT</span> a bit if he knows what’s good for him, you snarl as you peek through the unlocked door. What’s his deal, anyways?
“She’s…” Ly pants, wiping some <span class="mu-g">ASTRAL SWEAT</span> from his <span class="mu-g">ASTRAL BROW,</span> “She’s waiting! In a <span class="mu-s">VENT!</span>”
Okay, you sigh, slow the crap down: your contact’s in a <span class="mu-i">VENT?</span> And a <span class="mu-i">LADY?</span>
“Yea…” Sputter your bones as their ghostly form returns to the safety of your body, “A big one! <span class="mu-i">Vent</span>, that is…” Turning your head towards a specific part of the wall, Ly continues his report: “There’s a button in there hidden behind an <span class="mu-g">ARENA POSTER.</span> I’m bettin’ someone posted it recently! Followed da’ button’s wires to a <span class="mu-g">VENT</span> in da’ wall–looks like it’ might open if ya’ press it.”
You can’t help but blink at that. Is this bitch aping your <span class="mu-b">VENT TRICKS?</span> Speaking of, who is it anyways? Are they <span class="mu-i">DREAMY?</span>
“Err, not exactly…” Ly mutters. “It’s uh… it’s <span class="mu-g">CHRISTY.</span> Da’ quiet broad.”
Are you flippin’ <span class="mu-i">KIDDING</span> me right now!? You just saw that creep and now she’s trying to sneak up on you? Damn it!
“It uh… it certainly complicates things, don’t it?” Remarks your skeleton as you kick a derelict fry tray across the pavement. “Say, remember when I was talkin’ about dat’ <span class="mu-i">trap-</span>”
You do, you scoff, it was, like, three seconds ago!
“... So do ya’ think-”
You don’t know, alright? Point is you’ve gotta do <span class="mu-i">something</span>...
But WHAT?
>FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!
>LEAVE! THIS IS DICEY!
>DON’T LET HER OUT, BUT DO THAT “I KNOW YOU’RE THERE” THING THEY DO IN THE MOVIES!
>CARVE THROUGH THE VENT OPENING WITH YOUR CLAWS AND SURPRISE HER!
>WRITE-IN!
