Wait, shit, there <span class="mu-i">ARE</span> a few things you wanna ask her! Striking like a coiled viper, you nearly dislocate your arm as you manage to reach out and snag the girl by the shoulder before she can steal away! Hold your horses!
Pepper lets out a short yelp as you reel her back in! “Alright, <span class="mu-i">ALRIGHT</span>,” she groans, “I’m holding them! Easy on the merchandise, sandcrab-you could yank a girl’s head off with those paws of yours!”
You wouldn’t have to if she didn’t rush off like a jewel thief! Besides, you sigh as she looks at you expectantly, you’ve got a few things to go over before you split up!
“All ears, chief.” She replies as she plants her hands on her hips. “It’s not like we’re there yet, anywho.”
She’s not wrong-it feels like this voyeur’s taken <span class="mu-i">years</span> of your life away, but when you glance in the direction the ferry’s heading, you find yourself still far away from your destination. Man, this boat is <span class="mu-i">SLOW!</span>
Anyways, you start, this operation’s going to require a lot more planning if it’s going to work-winging it ain’t gonna cut it!
Pulling out your <span class="mu-s">CELLPHONE</span>, you hold it out for Pepper to see and notice you’ve got a <span class="mu-s">MISSED CALL FROM YOUR UNCLE!</span> How’d you miss that?
“Good idea-we can swap numbers to stay in contact on the island!” Grins your partner as you both exchange devices and tap in your digits! Make sure to save it under a different name, you warn, saving your name as ‘<span class="mu-s">DIEGO</span>’.
“Done!”
Snatching your phone back before she can root through your browser history, you can’t help but groan a bit at her entry.
“What?”
<span class="mu-i">Change it, please.</span>
The reporter furrows her brow. “... it’s an alia-”
Then choose a <span class="mu-i">normal</span> alias, jeez! One that won’t give anyone the wrong idea!
“Spoilsport.” Snatching your phone back, Pepper taps away a few more times before returning your device with mild trepidation in her expression. “Happy, <span class="mu-i">Peter Perfect?</span>”
Yes, you sigh, ‘<span class="mu-s">LYDIA</span>’ is <span class="mu-i">much</span> better than the last one!
“... again, it was a historical alias-”
<span class="mu-s">MOVING ON!</span>
>CONTD.
