Yea, yea, you groan, waving away his advice, you know how <span class="mu-i">steam</span> works, okay?
“Yea, actually-”
Are they still <span class="mu-i">here</span>, you roar, prompting both Ly and Teevor to scamper through the door into a thick purple haze on the other side! Get <span class="mu-i">moving!</span>
“Welp,” Art remarks as the door immediately slams shut behind the skeleton, “That might set a record for the world’s fastest hostage escape in history.”
He worries too much, you shrug as you lean against the wall next to the door! Ly’s as capable as they come!
“He’d better be…” Talbot growls, clearly unconvinced, “Or he’s gonna need a, uh… <span class="mu-g">GHOST BODY CAST.</span> Since I’ll be beating him up.”
“You realize he’s essentially just Stanley’s skeleton, yes?” Sybil asks as you stare daggers at Talbot’s dumb face.
“I… well, yea, but-”
Before you can make him feel anywhere <span class="mu-i">near</span> as sorry as you want him to be, you’re interrupted by a faint squeal of static from your pocket! Sharing a confused glance with your pals, you dig out the source from your pocket revealing it to be your <span class="mu-g">TRUSTY RADIO!</span>
“Huh,” Art remarks as Lil’ Stanley gets to work gnawing on the device, “<span class="mu-i">That’s</span> not foreboding at all.”
“What channel is it set to, Stan?” Sybil helpfully asks. <span class="mu-b">14</span>, you reply, but that’s funky–you only set it to that one because you thought no one was using it and wanted some quiet time!
“Does that mean Mitz or someone might have been trying to call us, then?” Asks Art with a disapproving sniff. No, <span class="mu-i">Art</span>, you fire back, and he should probably stop thinking about Mitzi so much–it’s <span class="mu-i">weird</span>!
“No, I-” He sputters, trying and failing to avoid Syb’s sideways glance, “I just… look, who’s calling, huh!?”
Good question… here’s an even <span class="mu-i">better</span> one: do you try to respond to it?
>YEA, COULD BE SOMETHING IMPORTANT!>NO! COULD BE DEMON STUFF! PUT IT AWAY!>HAVE SOMEONE ELSE ANSWER IT FOR YOU! NOSE GOES!>WRITE-IN!
