Yes, you think as you loom over the superpowered critter, this <span class="mu-i">would</span> be the time for a counter attack… but as you stare at the raccoon’s toast-stuffed face, you can’t help but feel your anger subside somewhat. So much so, in fact, that as you snap for another piece of <span class="mu-g">BERRY TOAST</span> from the Doc, you slowly drop to your knees in front of your opponent!
“Errr… cupcake?” Ly asks in an uncertain tone, “What are we doin’?”
Being <span class="mu-i">HUMAN</span>, damn it, you hiss as you retract your <span class="mu-g">GOO MOP</span> before returning it to your pocket at a glacier’s pace! Watching you intently, <span class="mu-r">STANLEY THE RACCOON</span> chews the food still shoved into its mouth, not entirely sure how to proceed. Your answer comes in the form of yet <span class="mu-i">ANOTHER</span> piece of toast, this one whizzing through the air an-<span class="mu-s">OW, FUCK!</span>
“<span class="mu-i">APOLOGIES!</span>” hisses Devon from the safety of his desk! Yea, he’ll owe you some, alright! Rubbing the fresh sore spot on your head, you retrieve the piece of <span class="mu-g">BERRY TOAST</span> fresh from the toaster and hold it aloft for the beast to see! Still midway through its current feast, the raccoon’s green eyes nonetheless light up in recognition–yes, you nod, there’s more where <span class="mu-i">that</span> came from!
As per the norm, however, there’s a catch–as the woodland creature takes a few probing steps towards you, you bring the treat above your shoulder… and <span class="mu-i">hold</span> it there! Balking at your challenge, you can see the small gears turning in <span class="mu-r">STANLEY THE RACCOON’S</span> head–what’s it gonna be, huh? <span class="mu-b">FEAST…</span> or <span class="mu-r">FIGHT!?</span>
Time slows to a crawl as the two of you stay frozen in place, neither you nor the raccoon daring to make the first move! Just when you spot Dr. Devon creeping towards the cage in the closet, however, the silence is broken by the soft plodding of padded feet along the floor!
Still watching you like a very fuzzy hawk, <span class="mu-r">STANLEY</span> makes their way over to you with every part of their body ready to spring into action! Approaching with a warning hiss, the experiment pauses in front of you for a moment before circling around the back! Bracing yourself for a mauling, you can’t help but blink in surprise a bit when you feel tiny claws digging into the back of your <span class="mu-g">FUR COAT</span> as their owner climbs to your shoulder! Frozen, you feel a pair of tiny hands gently take the treat from you followed by the sound of chewing in your ear!
<span class="mu-b">BATTLE WON!</span>
https://youtu.be/6mudEn-dRGg“<span class="mu-i">StuPENDOUS!</span>” Devon hisses as the now-placated raccoon kicks your <span class="mu-g">COONSKIN HAT</span> to the floor in between chews. Riiiight, you mutter as you stuff the hat into your <span class="mu-b">INVENTORY,</span> that thing probably didn’t make a good first impression, did it?
“What gave ya’ <span class="mu-i">dat’</span> idea?” Ly asks with the usual sarcasm. You don’t answer.
