Tapping her black-nailed finger on one of the scribbles, it takes you a few minutes of ‘<span class="mu-i">hmm</span>’s and <span class="mu-i">ahh</span>’s before your friend realizes you can’t comprehend it.
“<span class="mu-g">VERDE POINT.</span>” Sybil reads, “Once a historical seaside mission, it’s been repurposed into a WEDDING VENUE.”
“Wait, wha!?” Sputters Talbot as he spits water all over the table, “Hey, we haven’t even had that first date yet, man!”
“No, not-wait, really?” Asks Sybil with genuine confusion in her voice. “Stan?”
Look, you huff, this whole ‘<span class="mu-b">TIME STREAM EPILOGUE</span>’ bullshit’s hard to wrap your mind around–maybe you did already? Just… just shut up and listen, Talbot…
“Fine, he grunts as he tries to flag down a waitress, “but for the record I feel pretty misleaded here!”
“So… business as usual, then?”
“Screw you, <span class="mu-i">Artie</span>.”
“<span class="mu-i">ANYWAYS</span>,” Interjects Sybil, “I gave the venue a call… several, in fact. None of which connected to a person.” She continues with growing excitement in her voice! “When I inquired on their website, however, I was informed that they were fully-booked for the rest of the year.”
Huh, you mutter as you snatch an onion ring before Art and Talbot can grab it, seems like a pretty boppin’ place for a wedding.
“To the naked eye, perhaps.” Sybil replies with a toothy grin! “But when I looked closer at the venue’s reviews, I noticed that all of their reviewers were dummy accounts.”
“Course they’re dummies.” Grunts Talbot, “Who the hell wants to pay a bunch for a wedding anyways?”
“Moreover,” Continues The Goth, “I dug deeper and uncovered something <span class="mu-i">very</span> interesting indeed… the name of the property’s owner: <span class="mu-r">AMELIA DE LA CRISTOBAL.</span>”
Of <span class="mu-i">COURSE</span>, you exclaim as you slam your fist on the table, HER!
