No doubt about it: these freaky fishes are up to something… and if you’ve learned anything from your Casino outing, it’s this:
Never let ‘em know your next move!
Volka, you bark as you retrieve the Mudpoke from your now mudpocket, get ready! The girl’s big yellow eyes swell even bigger at the sound of her name!
“F-for <span class="mu-i">what!?</span>”
Hey ladies, you holler as you stand up in the center of the boat, dinner time!
“H-HE’S GOT THE MUDPOKE!” Sputters Lily as two new Shyppas emerge from the water next to her, “AND… AND HE’S GONNA GIVE IT OUT NOOOOW!”
“OOH! OOH! TOSS IT IN MY MOUTH!” Barks Flippy as she shoves another mermaid out of her way!
“NO WAY! MINE!” Meeda howls as you slap the fish against your hand like a tambourine! As the boat wiggles beneath you now that the mermaids aren’t holding it steady, you wait until you see well over <span class="mu-r">TWELVE</span> pairs of eyes before making the passoff!
Volk, you hiss as you shove the payload into her claws, Chuck it <span class="mu-s">FAR!</span>
A mischievous grin makes itself at home on the girl’s tusked face as comprehension settles in! “Roger that, Rook!” Winding up for the pitch hard enough to send the boat tipping backwards, you’re about three-fourths of the way to Capsizeville when the Skog lunges forward and sends the fish flying like it was shot out of a goddamn <span class="mu-i">CANNON!</span>
It’s a good thing she made a show of grunting, otherwise no one would have known she’d thrown the dang thing! Several pairs of eyes follow what they assume is the fish’s flight pattern, but it isn’t until they hear a distant splash that they start to depart!
“Heeeey,” Snickers Flippy with a dismissive shake of her head, “Nice try, blub!”
Meeda stops mid-dive to send a quizzical look to her friend! “Huuuh?”
“Why fight over a tiny lil’ Mudpoke when we’ve got a <span class="mu-s">FEAST</span> right here!?”
A chorus of ‘<span class="mu-i">oh yeaaaa</span>’s and ‘<span class="mu-i">heeey, good idea</span>’ breaks out among the murderous marine-dwellers as the lion’s share turns back from the fish in favor of your undoubtedly delicious flesh! Mind racing and heart pounding, you search your mind for something… <span class="mu-i">ANYTHING</span> you can use to salvage the situation!
In what must be your seventh darkest hour since you arrived, the answer presents itself:
You must use…
<span class="mu-s">THAT!</span>
>CONTD.
