Right here’s just <span class="mu-i">peachy</span>, you counter as you drag a few stools away from Ayla, Terra, and Vivian’s prep area! You’re not distracted at all!
“Whatever you say, slick…” Murmurs Pepper with a glint in her smug eye! Damn right!
“So uh, what <span class="mu-i">are</span> you gonna say?” Asks Raj as he dutifully takes a seat next to you!
Well, you begin as that fiendish redhead plants her stool and takes a seat between you and Chef, you’ve got an update about the cellphones…
“Aw, <span class="mu-i">RIGHTEOUS,</span> man!” Exclaims Raj as he triumphantly pulls his phone out of his pocket, “I was supposed to text my ‘rents when I got here and totally blanked, bro. Blanked <span class="mu-i">HARD</span>.”
Yea, uh, you mutter, not even bothering to get annoyed at this point, Mina thinks someone messed with that <span class="mu-s">ANTENNA</span> in the center of the island.
“Huh…” The skater nods, “It’s a dick move, but it’s what I’d do if I was tryin’ to kill everyone… can’t call the cops without bars!”
There’s more, you add as you stealthily lean back in your stool to regain partial view of the kitchen, she mentioned there was a <span class="mu-s">RADIO BROADCAST TERMINAL</span> up there, so if they can’t get it fixed, well-
“Who’s <span class="mu-i">they</span>?” Interjects Pepper as she too leans into your way again! Hank, you grumble, and that Tina girl from Student Council. They’re heading out right now, you think.
The journalist frowns as she taps the bill of her <span class="mu-s">PIZZA MIND CAP.</span> “Hmm… that’s a big gamble, chief. What if <span class="mu-i">You-Know-Who</span> catches ‘em?”
You respond by giving her an exasperated shrug! Then I guess we’re <span class="mu-i">dead</span>, okay? But someone’s gotta do it because everyone else here is being kept in the dark!
“Why don’t we just, y’know, check it out too?” Asks Raj as if he were suggesting you order take-out for dinner. Forget it, you reply as you wave his idea away with your non-burger-holding hand, you’d have to be able to leave the mansion to do that, and…
Wait, you <span class="mu-i">CAN</span>! Mina gave you permission to come and go as you see fit! Heh heh…
Grinning like an idi-well, <span class="mu-i">himself</span>, Raj leaps from his stool and raises his fists above his head!
“<span class="mu-s">ROAAAD TRIIIIP!</span>”
<span class="mu-i">ZIP</span> IT, you snarl as you tug him back into his seat! You’re already pushing your luck as is!
Still, you sigh, it might not be a bad idea to follow up on Hank’s progress later…
