<span class="mu-s">NO TIME TO THINK!</span> Grabbing Pepper by the shoulders, you pull her in close and bust out the best makeout sesh you’ve ever mimed! Sans sound effects and actual snogging, of course!
“Anyone ever tell ya you worry too much?” Asks Bill as the two approach your fern.
“The only people who ever say ‘<span class="mu-i">you worry too much</span>’ are the people who never worried enough to begin with.” Jake counters! “Tonight needs to be <span class="mu-s">PERFECT</span>, Bill, and it’s already unraveling…”
Dang, Pepper’s really getting into this hiding thing! She’d better stop pressing against you, though, or she’s gonna push you away from the plant!
“Aha, I knew it!” Laughs Bill, prompting the two of you to freeze mid-’<span class="mu-i">makeout</span>’, “One guy to another, pal: you ever gonna realize she’s just not that into y-”
“Save it, okay?” Growls the Vice President as you and Pepper quietly pull away from each other with slightly-redder cheeks, “<span class="mu-s">YOU!</span>”
You turn to a statue again before you realize who Jake’s addressing! Stumbling over like a lost puppy, the guard closest to you can’t decide whether or not to salute or just stand at attention!
“Y-yes, Jak-”
“Give me a status report, Leonard.” Jake snarls as his face stops inches from the goon’s nose.
“Erm, on wh-what?”
Bill watches with an amused grin as the Vice President grabs the DisCo goon by his tie! “The <span class="mu-s">AWOL SECURITY STAFF,</span> Leonard! Is your headset working properly?”
Before the guard can respond, Jake snatches it out of his ear and fiddles with it before shoving it in the goon’s chest!
“Look at that-it’s <span class="mu-i">OFF</span>. Do you idiots even have a <span class="mu-i">PASSING INTEREST</span> in doing your jobs tonight!?”
Beckoning for the second guard to come over, the music aficionado slowly makes their way over like a kid being called to the principal’s office!
“I need you two to regroup with the front and back teams and patrol around the mansion grounds.” Instructs the VP with a measured, but still plenty peeved voice! “And I want protocol <span class="mu-i">followed</span>, damn it–that means your headsets are <span class="mu-i">ON</span>,” he adds, shooting a venomous glare at Leonard the Guard, “and you’re conducting regular check-ins! Anything seems suspicious and you contact me <span class="mu-i">immediately!</span>”
“B-but isn’t everyone gonna be at the President’s Speech?” Stammers Leonard before quickly wishing he hadn’t! Jake’s grip on his tie tightens, much to Bill’s pleasure! “That’s <span class="mu-i">EXACTLY</span> why I want to be sure no one is sneaking around the house!” Letting the goon’s tie go, Jake lets out a long, weary sigh before fixing Leonard’s tie. “Look up a tie tutorial on <span class="mu-s">MeTube</span>-we’re trying to look <span class="mu-i">professional</span> tonight.”
