A devilish grin worms its way onto your face as an idea comes to mind! No thanks, you reply in a cordial tone, but you know someone who <span class="mu-i">WOULD!</span>
You barely pivot a degree before the mischievous musician leaps atop the table and gives her Striilii a resounding <span class="mu-s">STRUM!</span>
“<span class="mu-i">Gather round, all, and I’ll sing you a song, of wizards and devils and plans that go wrong! But no need to fear, I swear I’m not lyiiiiiiiiing…</span>”
She leans in close to Vuuse, much to the ex-ganger’s chagrin.
“<span class="mu-i">Cuz’ I’m speaking of course of ANTON THE UNDYIIIIIIIIING!</span>”
Laying into the instrument like it owed her money, TT prances around the table as your fellow officers watch with expressions ranging from genuine excitement all the way to utter confusion! Oh, and anger! You can probably guess who.
“<span class="mu-i">Iiiiit happened tonight in a fireworks store, began as a chore, but became so much more! He called on the aid of a wizard, but well….. Dear Anton locked horns with a monster from HELL!</span>”
The twins gasp at the sudden profanity! By GOD!
“<span class="mu-i">In the darkest of corners, the deepest of cracks, our hero knew not who was hot on his tracks! Twelve castles high! Eyes made of hellfire! Gnashing teeth, razor claws, and unquenchable iiiiiire!</span>”
TT sidles up next to you and gives your face a pat with her swinging tail!
“<span class="mu-i">Flames flew and earth shook and the cave rent apart! Til’ Anton roared out ‘Worry not, friends! Take heart!’ He gathered Hell’s flames in his magical shieeeellllld….</span>”
The whole bar goes as silent as the cave as the Spinner lingers on that last note…
“<span class="mu-i">AAAAAAND the devil’s own power became his to WIEEEEELD!</span>”
Tzah-Tzie gives her instrument a series of powerful strums–each one evoking the image of you striking the devil! “<span class="mu-i">One STRIKE of the shield and the beast was undone! Tossed back to the hells with its evil undone! To tell its foul kin who’d just sent it flyiiiiiing…..</span>”
Another pause falls over the table as a mischievous glimmer appears in the Spinner’s eye!
“<span class="mu-i">DAAAAAMNED RIGHT, all the hells fear ANTON THE UNDYYIIIIIIIIIIING!</span>”
Tossing her Striilii into the air, the Durher pirouettes and snatches the instrument just in time to give an exaggerated bow to her impromptu audience, who immediately let loose with a string of whistles and hollers! Even Vuuse nods with approval!
“Yea… I’m not writing that all down…” Groans Lila, face scrunched up from the cacophony surrounding her!
“No foolin’? A demon?” Asks Alton, eyes wider than ever!
“Did it have horns!?”
“Did it spit poison?!”
“You can ask Anton and TT about it all you want later!” Sputters Volka, the girl balancing being awestruck and in charge as the Durher twins hop up and down like puppies! “L-let’s close out the meeting, yea?”
“Finally…” Grumbles Vuuse, though you notice her steely gaze lingers on you a little longer than usual…
