The sunglass’d shitheel leers at Pepper as a smile forms on his face. “Sure would suck if people found out she was pallin’ around with ole’ Garlic Breath here!”
“You’d better not…” Growls Pepper as she looks to you for support.
“Oh I would <span class="mu-i">never</span>!” Scoffs Rodney, undeterred by your death glare, “But I’ve got a better deal for ya, sweetcheeks: once I mop the floor with Dee here, you and I will do a little… <span class="mu-i">snooping</span>, yea?”
Yea <span class="mu-i">RIGHT</span>, you growl as you step closer to Rodney! You already have a deal! Go find your own girl!
“Don’t be cute, Dee,” laughs your old pal, “You blundered past my trap with the flashing lights down by the <span class="mu-s">DOCKS</span>, but I saw you get trounced by that Rent-A-Cop Jr!”
Rodney sets his gaze back on Pepper.
“You really think this jabroni can keep you safe? ‘<span class="mu-i">Prince Pee-Pants</span>’ over here?”
You step between the two. Don’t listen to him, Pepper, this guy’s an idiot!
“Well…” Muses the girl in a vaguely intrigued voice, “Maybe there’s a way to solve this, chief…”
“Damn right there is!” Laughs Rodney as he adopts a <span class="mu-s">BOXING STANCE,</span> “Whaddaya say, old pal? Can’t really escort a lady if you’re laid the hell out, right?”
Damn it, Pepper, you groan internally, you were supposed to <span class="mu-i">IGNORE</span> this prick!
What do?
>IGNORE! JUST WALK AWAY!>SUCKER PUNCH!>LET’S TALK SOME MORE, ROD…>PEPPER, A QUICK WORD, PLEASE?>FINE, LET’S DO THIS! (ENTER A FIGHTING STANCE!)>WRITE-IN!
