“<span class="mu-i">ch longer do we have to listen to this?</span>” Mutters an unfamiliar voice in your ear!
“<span class="mu-i">Bad enough it started LATE…</span>” Groans another, “<span class="mu-i">Where’d they say she was again?</span>”
“<span class="mu-i">Had to run to the BATHROOM… I wish </span><span class="mu-s">I</span><span class="mu-i"> went before Mina started…</span>”
“<span class="mu-i">Weeeelll?</span>” Inquires the journalist as she reaches to take the doodad from your ear! <span class="mu-i">STOP IT,</span> you hiss! They’re just bitching about the <span class="mu-s">SPEECH</span> Mina’s giving… sounds like it started late!
“Hmm…” Muses the redhead as she rubs her chin in thought, “Odd for her to be late to her own speech.”
“When ya’ gotta go ya gotta go, man!” Chuckles Raj! Well if anyone can do something about this it’s <span class="mu-i">her</span>, you conclude. Maybe she can call the cops or something…
“Won’t know until we ask…” Shrugs Pepper as a hint of concern falls across her face, “<span class="mu-i">If</span> we can ask…”
Right, you groan, the rest of <span class="mu-s">STUDENT COUNCIL</span> will be there too… that’s a problem for <span class="mu-i">later</span>, though–first you gotta head for the <span class="mu-s">AMPHITHEATER!</span>
“Lead the way!” Chirps the redhead!
“Best idea I’ve heard all night, bro!” Adds Raj with an encouraging thumbs up!
Okay, you nod, let’s rock!
“... you have no clue where we are, do you?” Mutters your ‘<span class="mu-i">partner</span>’ with a hint of sympathy in her smug tone!
None whatsoever!
