Pockets loaded with bathroom sundries and your mind still struggling to figure out what you saw in the mirror, you motion for Pepper to follow you as you press your ear against the bathroom door!
“-s Mina… she loves to be the center of attention…” Groans an unidentified female voice as its owner passes the door, “Not gonna miss <span class="mu-i">that</span>, that’s for sure…”
“Can’t believe we need to listen to <span class="mu-i">another</span> speech…” Adds another slightly more distant female voice. Hanging back for a few more minutes, you pick up a few more pairs of feet as they make their exit down the hall and deprive you of yet another opportunity to meet some more fun and <span class="mu-i">zany</span> new characters!
When the hall finally quiets down, you give your partner a nod before creeping out of the bathroom! As you predicted, the mansion’s much quieter than when you entered-aside from the notes of an unfamiliar song drifting your way from the <span class="mu-s">LIVING ROOM,</span> the place has more or less become a ghost town!
Sounds like Mina’s gonna make a speech, you hiss to your red-headed partner.
“Classic...” She groans with a roll of her eyes. “Careful though, skip-might be some stragglers…”
It doesn’t take long for you to confirm Pepper’s theory–entering from the hallway left of a grand white staircase leading upwards, you barely manage to grab your partner and dart behind a nearby fern before a <span class="mu-s">DISCO GOON</span> patrols over to your neck of the foyer!
“You catch that new ‘<span class="mu-i">Bear Trap</span>’ song?”
The guard’s eyebrow raises over his mirrored shades.
“... which one?”
“Y’know,” continues his partner from across the room, “‘<span class="mu-i">Fish Food</span>’?”
“... maybe?”
You and Pepper shoot each other a weary glance as the further guard groans.
“C’mon, you know it! It’s the one that sounds like… MmmmHHHHMM….mmHMmHMHMHMhMHM-”
Oh dear god, why did you let these girls convince you to play <span class="mu-i">Ace Detective</span>...
>CONTD.
