<span class="mu-r">CHAAT’TAI! THE RED PLANE!</span>
Right, right, <span class="mu-r">Pad Thai</span>. The point is, you continue in a placating voice, you’re a newcomer here as well and can barely see-
“Save the backstory for someone who’s buyin’ it, <span class="mu-i">MORON!</span>” Snarls Rezalith with a click of her impressively-shiny teeth, “I can smell that crummy cult robe on you from a mile away, and guess what?! Your <span class="mu-r">BINDING RITUAL</span> didn’t work!”
You blink. <span class="mu-i">Binding</span>?
“Dwuuhhh, bwouuwwndwiiing??? Duuuhhhrrr?” She retorts in a voice that definitely <span class="mu-i">doesn’t</span> sound like yours, “Do you SEE me cooped up in a cramped little summoning circle?”
Well like you said, you can’t see much of anythin-
“Do you SEE me <span class="mu-i">NOT</span> slicing your boyfriends into ribbons and torching your dumb little clubhouse!?”
Ohhh, you nod with a laugh, that was <span class="mu-i">her</span>-
“I’m a <span class="mu-s">FREE DEVIL</span> now, fool, and I don’t care <span class="mu-i">who</span> asks, the only person I’m gonna serve from now on is ME, <span class="mu-i">ME,</span> and <span class="mu-s">ME!</span>”
Fair, you reply, but how about-
A mischievous glimmer forms in Rezalith’s eyes. “Y’know, you’re acting awfully <span class="mu-i">annoying</span> for someone standing on a rickety bridge… maybe you should stop blathering and start <span class="mu-i">worshiping</span>, hm?”
Punctuating her suggestion with a cheeky wink, the devil makes a show of scratching what you can only assume is one of the bridge’s posts with either a very large blade or a very nasty claw.
You’re not sure which possibility is the better one, but this girl is right–she’s got you in a nasty spot right now!
What do?
>Call her bluff! She’s not really a queen, is she?!>Tell her to check you out–you’re not a damn cultist!>Bring up something only a foreigner would know!>Compliment her! You can’t really see her, but you can probably think of something!>Just back away. You can find another way down.>Stay quiet. Maybe she just wants attention?>ATTACK while her guard is down!>Ask her about herself! She seems to like that topic!>Maybe you can make a deal! Devils LOVE deals!>Write-In!
