“Keep going, chief, I wanna get into this party <span class="mu-i">tonight</span>!” Chides Pepper as you pick up the pace! Did she forget that you’re her <span class="mu-i">IN</span>?
“That depends on <span class="mu-i">you</span>, sandcrab.” She counters with a grin. “Don’t let me down, now!”
“Yea, don’t let her down, man.”
Thanks, Raj, you don’t plan on it… As you make your way to the ship’s exit, you’re sent off by the ferry’s captain: a slightly older man with a blonde beard and a pair of sunglasses on.
“Take care out there, now.” He warns as a smile creeps across his face. You too, dude…
“Thanks again, bro!” Adds Raj before hopping onto his board and riding it down the gangway! You and Pepper are barely halfway down when you spot them: six… no, <span class="mu-s">SEVEN</span> tough customers clad in white suits, mirror shades, and earpieces that they periodically speak into!
Idling further down the dock, the suits flag down the disembarkees before directing them all into a line where <span class="mu-s">GOLF CARTS</span> standby for pickup!
“<span class="mu-s">DISCO…</span>” Mutters Pepper as she leads you off to the side near a stack of steel crates!
Yea, they <span class="mu-i">do</span> look like they could tear the dance floor up, don’t they? Earning a frown from your partner, you quickly deduce that wasn’t her meaning.
“<span class="mu-s">DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE.</span>” She adds, pointing at them again for good measure! “We gotta get past ‘em somehow, Diesel.”
Jesus, you sputter, those guys are <span class="mu-i">STUDENTS?!</span>
“Not all of them,” Pepper responds in a matter-of-fact tone, “Some of them are <span class="mu-i">girls</span>, y’know.”
Thanks, very helpful.
“What’s the hold up, amigos and amigettes?” Asks Raj as he rolls over to where you’re talking. “You uh… you guys need <span class="mu-i">space</span> or something?”
Motioning for him to wait a moment, you survey the situation and weigh your options…
