“Just out of curiosity, was he wearing a hazard suit when you found him?” You ask before deciding if you should explain what happened today or not.
“Ah? A hazard suit? No, he was in his iconic casual getup!” Oliver recalls. You wouldn’t say that Lord Gargoyle has a <span class="mu-i">casual getup</span>.
“His clothes are drying outside if you’re curious.” Wilma informs. You catch a glimpse of them from where you’re standing through the window and see nothing out of the ordinary.
“Sounds like you know what happened.” Matilda deduces.
“…I thought the exchange of glances made it evident.” Wilma doesn’t know why Matilda is phrasing it like that, recalling when you four looked at each other once the sewers were mentioned.
“Well, allow me to tell you what happened…” You want to drag everyone into a flashback because it’s within your rights as the main character!
…
You get no flashback, but a skip forward, you tell them what you went through today in excruciating detail.
“The sewer exploded all around the city?!” Oliver thought Lord Gargoyle did this to himself. “Shouldn’t that be all over the news?!”
“Johnny just talked about having a Dark Spirit burst out of his apartment’s walls...” Wilma feels like you all should focus on the evil specter.
“Yes, that’s the reason we’re barging here in the meantime. Thank you for having us again!” Ruby wants to be a good guest as always!
“Already heard a snippet about it.” Matilda didn’t forget your text message and doesn’t care much.
“It’s a noble spirit, mind you!” Ichie protects her flame’s reputation.
“Only the host is indecent.” Suan De deadpans.
“That’s no way to speak about Johnny!” Ichie pouts. Did she use you to deflect criticism?! What a horrible disciple she is!
“I don’t believe she was talking about him…” Wilma points out the obvious. You’re a good boy who deserves no criticism.
“Enough of that! I believe we should create a task force to investigate what happened.” Oliver proposes to the team.
“It is a rather perplexing matter!” Ichie agrees.
“If you’re so inclined, good luck.” Matilda sends Oliver on his way.
“J-Just me?” Oliver expected more of a team effort.
“I’d love to go, but I’m getting used to my new surroundings! Here!” Ichie pushes Suan De forward. “This woman is an expert sewer escapist! She should tag along!”
“Don’t ever do that again, you impudent girl.” Suan De glares at the inexperienced hobo, then sighs. “I’ll go, I suppose.” Suan De feels a degree of debt towards the unconscious villain.
“Master, are you coming along?” Oliver wants more members on the team.
“No. I just got here.” Matilda isn’t planning on moving a muscle.
