>>5717406By the time you reach the ground again Pepper is trying out Linda while Raj struggles to figure out how the journalist’s camera works. Thanks guys, you mutter under your breath as you wipe the sap from your hands, good job on being lookouts!
“Pleasure’s all ours.”
“No prob, bro!”
Your head hurts.
“So,” Begins Pepper as she rolls over to you on the skateboard very slowly, “Where we headed, slick?”
To the <span class="mu-s">AMPHITHEATER,</span> you announce as you dramatically point in the direction you vaguely remember it being, you’ve got an announcement to make…
The hike back to the mansion is <span class="mu-i">far</span> less eventful than your departure from it, but that doesn’t put you at ease, oh no!
“It’s a wonder that big lug hasn’t headed over yet…” Remarks the journalist as you crest a hill just overlooking the ongoing gala in the hillside theater! “You’d think he’d be able to hear everyone…”
“Sensory overload, dude…” Raj mutters with a shake of his shaggy head, “Same thing happens with my dog <span class="mu-s">BARKSDALE</span> on the 4th of July… too much stimulation for the poor fella…”
Yea, your heart <span class="mu-i">bleeds</span> for the machete-wielding gorilla… watching the stage from afar some more, it dawns on you that <span class="mu-s">A:</span> You can’t hear a word Mina’s saying from up here, <span class="mu-s">B:</span> She’s still talking, and <span class="mu-s">C:</span> Was her dress always that short? Yow.
“Eyes on the prize, slick…” Your partner reminds you, “So are you going to swoop down and put a dramatic stop to the whole performance? Give a speech of your own, maybe?”
You hadn’t really thought that far ahead, you admit with a sheepish grin! She doesn’t seem to be finishing up any time soon, though, and you’re not sure if it’s a good idea to bring Pepper that close to her brother…
What <span class="mu-i">IS</span> the plan anyways?
>GET OVER THERE AND LISTEN TO HER SPEECH UNTIL IT’S DONE! IT CAN’T TAKE THAT MUCH LONGER, RIGHT?>SNEAK BACKSTAGE AND CAUSE SOME TECH MISHAPS! THAT’LL SPEED THINGS UP!>DO WHAT PEPPER SAID AND DRAMATICALLY INTERRUPT! IT’LL LOOK SO COOL!>WRITE-IN!Also, who do you bring with you?
>RAJ AND PEPPER!>JUST RAJ!>ONLY PEP!>YOU’LL GO IT ALONE FOR NOW… THEY CAN WATCH!
