>>5315442 So what exactly did Stripes want, hm?
“Well he didn’t have long,” Mitzi explains over the sound of Eddie’s excited voice behind her, “But he wanted you to know that that <span class="mu-b">PARTY</span> they’ve been setting up is happening <span class="mu-b">TONIGHT,</span> and guess who’s invited?”
You blink. Why, <span class="mu-i">us</span>, of course.
“Wow, Stan, that’s awfully forward of you.” Replies the security goon. “I <span class="mu-i">guess</span> I can be your date as long as it doesn’t make anyone all <span class="mu-i">jealous</span>.”
Ha-ha, you groan, you meant, like, <span class="mu-i">the gang</span>!
“Boo. But yea, he said we’re all invited. He also told me to tell you that Cliff’s ready to discuss, uh, the ‘<span class="mu-i">next step</span>’, whatever that means.”
Either going steady or dealing with <span class="mu-r">TIM,</span> you wager.
“Well whatever he means, you’ve still got a job to do, right?!” She shouts over a salvo of machine gun fire in the background! “So just call us when you need us!”
One more thing, you add, ignoring the sound of gunfire, if she gets another call from you or anyone soon, be <span class="mu-i">real</span> careful–this demon’s supposed to be a sneaky one!
“Gotcha, boss. Don’t worry–I have a whole list of security questions for ya’ just rarin’ to go.”
Atta’ girl. So, you continue, anything else you should know?
“Huh?”
You said is there anything el-
“Boss, you’re br-ng -p”
Damn it, you hiss, you’ll talk to her later!
“-n? C-ear m-”
Stupid radios! You’re just about to shove the device back into your pocket when another burst of static pops from the speaker! Bringing it back up to your ear, you tell Mitz you’ll call later!
“<span class="mu-r">Well shoot…</span>” Comes a smooth, unfamiliar voice reminiscent of a used car salesman or game show host from the other end, “<span class="mu-r">I was hoping to talk now… you got a little more time for me, sweetheart?</span>”
An unnatural heat emanates from the speaker as if someone was breathing on your cheek.
What do?
>TURN OFF THE RADIO NOW!>ASK WHO YOU’RE SPEAKING TO, PLEASE!>TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!>INQUIRE AS TO WHAT THEY WANT!>WRITE-IN!
