“Hopefully it won’t come to that.” Sybil sighs as she caresses Art’s hair once more.
Yea, you nod, hopefully. Drop us off here, Gus.
Silently acquiescing, the delivery man delivers you to the side of the winding road where you disembark into a mound of red snow.
“<span class="mu-i">Th-there seems to b-be no end to this pr-precipitation…</span>” Shivers Denise as she looks skyward behind her cracked glasses. “<span class="mu-i">I-if it continues we m-may become cut off fr-from each other…</span>”
“Gotta hurry before it piles up.” Gus remarks as he gives the van door a few knocks. Right, you blink, say, can someone lend a <span class="mu-g">RADIO?</span> Your last one got busted.
“<span class="mu-i">W-with my compliments…</span>” Denise quickly replies, forcing a smile as she hands you hers along with your <span class="mu-g">REMOTE-CONTROLLED DUCK</span>. “<span class="mu-i">S-s-same fr-frequency?</span>”
Yep, you say with a grateful nod! Alright, folks, you add as you stuff the radio into your pocket, watch your asses out there!
“With <span class="mu-i">pleasure</span>!” Eddie remarks as he hops out the back of the van and into the snowpile next to you!
“Keek… Ed,” Tucker mutters as he looks up from feeding Mitzi some water with an apologetic look on his face, “... be careful, yea?”
Kiki nods in assent as Eddie gives his roommate a long, hard stare. “... yea, you too, Tuck.”
Giving the two a strained smile, Tucker resumes his care as Sybil sends a grateful look your way. In complete contrast, Gus gives you a quick wave out the driver’s side window before sending the van screaming down the mountain towards town!
“Well,” Eddie sighs as the three of you stand in the middle of the road like a trio of <span class="mu-i">very</span> confused hitchhikers, “Let’s make it happen, yea?”
