>>5718786Before you can even open the door your nostrils are warmly greeted by some of your favorite scents: grilled meat, fresh spices, and a hefty helping of garlic and onions!
Your nausea immediately fades as you practically float through the doorway and into a <span class="mu-i">much</span> livelier <span class="mu-s">KITCHEN</span> than you’d seen earlier! You’d never guess Cammy had bled all over the place–someone must have cleaned up!
Raj is the first one you spot, naturally–his orange sweater sticking out like a particularly colorful thumb. Sitting at the kitchen bar munching on a fresh burger, he and two unfamiliar guys, one sporting outrageous turquoise liberty spikes, the other one just an utter <span class="mu-i">MESS</span> of hair, chat loudly about something you can’t quite hear from your neck of the woods.
Pepper, on the other hand, hovers by the <span class="mu-s">DINING ROOM ENTRANCE</span> like a bird of prey as she idly pokes at a half-finished cup of coffee. To anyone else she’d probably look like some sort of sad wallflower, but you know her well enough by now to know she’s eavesdropping on the conversation between the two familiar girls gossiping near her!
The familiar girls being Ayla and Terra respectively–the ones you met on the <span class="mu-s">FERRY</span> when they were chucking ice at each other. Terra, the pink-sweatered quiet one, seems to have opened up a bit and laughs loudly as she sips from a duo cup filled with something presumably alcoholic.
Not to be outdone, her sporty swimmer pal Ayla fills the room with raucous laughter as her still-damp swimsuit drips on the floor!
In the middle of it all, a tall, tanned girl with dyed aqua hair stands at the stovetop wearing nothing but sporty sunglasses, a white grilling apron <span class="mu-i">way</span> too small for her, uh, <span class="mu-i">proportions</span>, and an even smaller bikini beneath all that! How on earth did you miss <span class="mu-i">HER</span> this whole time?!
Picking your jaw off the ground, you’ve managed to locate your ‘<span class="mu-i">pals</span>’--the question is, what’s next?
>GET PEPPER AND RAJ! YOU’VE GOT SHIT TO DO!>CHAT WITH RAJ AND HIS PALS–COOL SEPSIS SHIRTS!>TALK WITH PEPPER–YOU NEED TO TALK WITH HER IN PRIVATE!>SAY HI TO AYLA AND TERRA–MAYBE THEY’VE NOTICED SOME STUFF TONIGHT?>GRAB SOME FOOD FROM THE CHEF--HAVEN’T SEEN HER AROUND!>WRITE-IN!
