>>5172066Serum safety stowed, you ask Syb what your next move should be–your plate just got <span class="mu-i">MAD FULL,</span> after all!
“It has, hasn’t it? Well <span class="mu-r">TRAITOR</span> or not, our mission remains the same: <span class="mu-r">ELIMINATE THE LAST LIEUTENANT.</span> It sounds callous, but that should be our focus.”
The <span class="mu-r">SEA WITCH,</span> huh? Hard to believe there’s only one left!
“An’ who da’ Hell knows what she’s hidin’ at da’ bottom of da’ sea…” Ly muses, earning a knowing nod from your Goth pal. “Did we ever confirm dat’ <span class="mu-r">SEA DEMON</span> was kaput?”
“No,” Sybil says with a frown, “we <span class="mu-i">didn’t</span>. And even with that landmark we found, a rampant demon won’t make the trek any easier…” She turns her blue eyes your way expectantly. “Have you decided what the plan is?”
Take a <span class="mu-b">CHILL PILL!</span> You haven’t even decided to take down the witch yet–what about those <span class="mu-r">MISSING PEOPLE</span> around the bunker, huh?
“I’m merely using what we know, Stan: we don’t know where the abductees are being taken, nor do we know who’s responsible.”
You’re betting on <span class="mu-r">ALIENS,</span> to be honest.
“Anyways, what we <span class="mu-i">DO</span> know is that the witch’s lackeys were seen at the <span class="mu-g">NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM–</span>it could be worth a look.”
Yea, yea, you say with a roll of your eyes, she just wants to <span class="mu-r">GEEK OUT</span> at all the exhibi-
Your deduction is cut off by a pillow to the face. OW, that almost hit your <span class="mu-i">eye</span>, damn it!
“Granted, but at the moment we only have a vague idea of where the witch’s lair is, <span class="mu-i">and</span> we have no way to safely ferry the entire team under the sea. Your <span class="mu-g">SEA CLOAK</span> might protect you, of course, but I can’t make <span class="mu-i">everyone</span> a fish, nor can I cast the spell again on a return trip. If we had <span class="mu-b">POTIONS</span> it might be a different story, but… Hm.”
Come on… do you really need <span class="mu-i">everyone</span>? You’ve basically soloed all of the bad guys so far!
“I’m merely offering my advice, Stan–it would certainly save time if you could reach <span class="mu-g">ATLANTIS</span> on your own, but there’s quite a few unknowns to consider.”
If it comes to that, you reply, you’ve got Ly! And Lil’ Stanley! Hell, maybe <span class="mu-g">LUDWIG</span> will show up again too!
Sybil immediately begins massaging her temples at the mention of your fish friend’s name. “I <span class="mu-i">still</span> refuse to believe that actually happened…”
