>>5175315Pushing your way into the circle, you get your answer almost immediately: trembling on the floor amidst a pile of machine parts and sweat kneels none other than Denise–looming above her with a sadistic grin on his face stands her old science project and work buddy–ex-buddy, judging from the current situation. Noticing your approach, both he and Denise address you almost immediately!
“<span class="mu-i">St-Stan!</span>” Denise blubbers, “<span class="mu-i">H-help-</span>”
“STAN!” Talbot exclaims, “Just in time–I was just about to give this rat a coupla’ <span class="mu-i">swirlies</span> for all that weird science crap she put me through!” Narrowing his eyes at the gizmos on the floor around her, the janitor’s bemused expression falters a bit. “<span class="mu-i">After</span> she explains just what the hell she’s doin’ skulking around here collecting junk!”
“Yea!” Eddie shouts before you can get a word in, “Weren’t you in jail?!”
“Just what were you planning on doing with that stuff anyways?” Art growls, stepping aside to let a knife-wielding Kiki into the circle!
“Ten bucks says it wasn’t a housewarming gift.” Mitzi jokes in a grim tone.
“Stanley…” Sybil hisses as she shoots you a sideways glance, “<span class="mu-i">Do</span> something, please!”
That’s what you’re trying to do, damn it! Striding forward into the fray, you’re just about to work your magic when a deafening drone emanates from the walls around you!
And <span class="mu-i">that’s</span> when all the lights go out.
