>>5138772“Moving right along: you can have your nerd back. Reports indicate that if she doesn’t stop sweating, she’ll drown in her cell.” Removing a <span class="mu-g">PDA</span> from inside their coat, your boss gingerly places it on the table before tapping a few buttons. “<span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY</span> will be confiscating the <span class="mu-b">CHEMICALS,</span> though. No fussing–they <span class="mu-i">are</span> technically company property.”
You open your mouth to protest, but Sonny’s faster on the draw!
“Relax, Stan–we’re not going to test it on anyone while we’re already hemorrhaging people…well, not <span class="mu-i">right NOW</span>, anyways! Ha!” Stuffing the <span class="mu-g">PDA</span> back into their pocket with a laugh, Sunny pauses for a moment as they spot something else within their coat. “Well, well, <span class="mu-i">WELL</span>--almost forgot about that…”
Leaning to get a better look, you ask what the hell they’re talking about! “A little experiment those robe-wearing freaks cooked up for me… you know–<span class="mu-g">THE ORDER OF THE WANDERING EYE?</span>”
You groan. <span class="mu-i">CURT.</span>
“Awww, you’re making <span class="mu-i">friends!</span>” Sonny chirps as they remove a remote control-like gizmo from their pocket. “Full disclosure, Stan, we had a little ‘<span class="mu-i">pow-wow</span>’ the other day regarding your, for lack of a better word, ‘<span class="mu-b">MAGICALNESS.</span>’”
Ly would <span class="mu-i">love</span> to hear that if he wasn’t sealed away or whatever! You’re <span class="mu-b">MAGICAL</span> now!
“Indeed you are!” Your host nods as they tighten a <span class="mu-g">GREEN CRYSTAL</span> attached to the top of the device. “And <span class="mu-i">that</span> topic had me thinking about something else–a shot in the dark, mind, but an <span class="mu-i">aimed</span> one…”
Pointing the crystal in your direction, Sonny gives you a reassuring smile. “The eggheads said this baby emits a <span class="mu-g">HIGH-MAGNITUDE PROTRACTED MAGICAL PULSE–</span>in English that means it’ll send a magical signal. I’d like to perform a quick test, if you don’t mind…”
Before you can protest, the doohickey is already pointed at your chest! “For the sake of the experiment I can’t tell you what’s about to happen, but rest-assured it won’t hurt! Probably.”
As Sunny’s finger goes to press a button, you feel your heart pick up the pace in your chest! Wh-what do!?
