>>5409508I <span class="mu-i">KNOW</span>, you chirp with sparkling eyes as the realization sets in! Is… is this what it feels like to be <span class="mu-s">GOD?!</span> H-has he not been called back in yet either??
“Nah, they think I’m dead.” He shrugs, taking it pretty well all things considered. “Ever since those jackasses in that secret lab worked their magic on me I haven’t been able to clock in or out, sooo…”
The two of you simultaneously chant the words ‘<span class="mu-s">NO WORK TOMORROW!</span>’ before bursting into giddy laughter!
“Okay, okay, okay,” Talbot mutters as he regains his breath, “So what should we do first, huh? You’re the <span class="mu-b">PIER PRO,</span> right?”
More like <span class="mu-b">PIER PRINCESS,</span> you reply with a glint in your eye! And yes, you nod, dripping with confidence, you know i]EXACTLY what to do first!
“Well lead the way then!” Replies Talbot as a wry grin forms on his face! “Just know that I’ll be takin’ notes the whole time… and if your choices are lame-”
Yea, yea, you scoff as you wave his stupid comments away, just trust in Stan, yea?
“I had a <span class="mu-i">SALAD</span> earlier, Stan… if I don’t have some fun soon I’m gonna chuck someone off the pier!”
Okay, you huff, then hold onto your hats, because this is gonna be the <span class="mu-s">BEST. NIGHT. EVER!</span>
The problem with the <span class="mu-g">CLEARWATER PIER</span> isn’t finding the fun stuff, but figuring out what to do <span class="mu-i">first</span>... and <span class="mu-i">HOW</span> to do it! You’re pretty sure there was a note on that old <span class="mu-b">CORKBOARD</span> in the security office at work…

Well it ain’t over yet, sweetheart, because your performance in this section will determine your ‘DATE RANK!’ Right now you’re starting off at ‘KINDA AWKWARD’, but making the right choices can turn this ember into a WILDFIRE, baby! Or a HOUSE FIRE. YOW! Just like in real life, it pays to think about who you’re dating… are they looking for FUN? CONVERSATION? ROMANCE? If you wanna go for the GOLD, you’ll have to play accordingly… or don’t! I’m not your dad! Anyways, congrats on finishing the quest and good luck tonight… hope you won’t need it! ~Mgmt.</span>’
