>>5795120Carving through the attackers like a pair of hot <span class="mu-s">SPACE KNIVES</span> through <span class="mu-s">SPACE BUTTER</span> as <span class="mu-s">SPACE BARDS</span> dance around the screen, you barely manage to bite back a smile as another laugh heralds the arrival of the <span class="mu-s">BLACK KNIGHT…</span> who tears ass across the <span class="mu-s">SPACE BATTLEFIELD</span> on his <span class="mu-s">SPACE STALLION</span> and rends Pepper apart!
“W-what the <span class="mu-i">HELL!?</span>” She sputters as her character explodes into pixelated ashes, “I didn’t even get a chance to fight him!”
She’ll get it later, you shrug as you tear apart a squad of <span class="mu-s">SPACE ARCHERS</span>--but right now he’s just a stage hazard or whatever… just keep moving and you’ll be fine!
Grumbling in protest, you can still tell the girl’s having a swell time! As you continue to carve a bloody swath of violence across the stars, your hard word is rewarded with a sudden announcement!
‘<span class="mu-s">BEGINNING REENTRY!</span>’
Spiraling towards a gas giant’s pixelated surface, the two of you land in the middle of a grim <span class="mu-s">SPACE ARENA</span> littered with <span class="mu-s">SPACE SKULLS!</span> And sitting on the throne in the middle is…
“<span class="mu-s">THERE HE IS!</span>” Snarls Pepper as she rapidly jabs the screen with her finger, “<span class="mu-s">THE BLACK KNIGHT! LET’S KICK HIS ASS, SANDCRAB!</span>”
Can’t fault her enthusiasm… as your opponent rises from his throne, he lets out another round of synthesized laughter… and <span class="mu-i">POUNCES!</span>
Your date struggles to weave through the <span class="mu-s">BLACK KNIGHT’S</span> mess of projectiles and <span class="mu-s">SPACE STALLIONS</span> rushing from one end of the screen to the other… but when she sees you dancing between them all like a wunderkind she can’t help but get a little flustered!
“You really know this game, huh?”
Yep, you nod, Uncle Emilio’s been keeping it on life support at <span class="mu-s">PIZZA MIND</span> for ages… he tore the speakers out though–couldn’t handle all the noise it made when you played between deliveries!
“Wait… so we could be playing it for <span class="mu-i">FREE</span>?!”
You didn’t think she wanted to start a date at your <span class="mu-i">WORK</span>, you counter defensively!
You leave out the part where the restaurant, or at least the office space-turned apartment above it, is also your ‘<span class="mu-i">house</span>’... you’ll see where the night goes.
As Pepper gets diced into <span class="mu-s">SPACE MINCEMEAT</span> again, you come to her rescue and slip a few attacks past the <span class="mu-s">BLACK KNIGHT’S</span> defenses!
