Despite everything that’s happened, or maybe because of it, you have no trouble deciding who you’re gonna bring!
“One more thing, Diesel.”
A soft hand places it on your shoulder. Mina’s.
“Keep a close eye on those around you,” she warns with a serious (even for HER) glint in her eye, “And stay in touch–we aren’t safe until my father answers for his actions…”
Then you’d better get cracking, huh? Giving the girl a wink, you make your way over to Raj as he makes his way over to <span class="mu-i">you!</span>
“Don’t gotta ask, bro!” He announces! “I’m comin’ whether you like it or not!”
Atta’ boy. Before you can gather your <span class="mu-i">other</span> misfit, however, you’re flagged down by the blue-haired girl!
… nope, not Vivian. Sorry.
“So you’re just gonna waltz on outta here after I spent all that time fixing you up, hm?” Asks Mabel as she pokes at Raj’s freshly-patched wound with a pen. “I’m fine with bein’ bored, y’know… don’t need ya’ to keep giving me new and exciting <span class="mu-i">challenges</span> all night…”
“Get a good look, cuz’ that’s the last time you’re gonna be operating on me, doc!” Smirks the skater with a cocky laugh! “Diesel an’ I are gonna bust this whole thing wide open–just watch!”
“Can’t wait.” The nurse grunts. “Look, do me a solid here, <span class="mu-i">hero</span>--if you find any more survivors, gimme a ring on the <span class="mu-s">EARPIECE,</span> yea?” She drones as she taps the tiny device sitting in her ear for emphasis.
What, you snort, is she gonna come sprinting over or something? Does she have an <span class="mu-i">ambulance?</span>
“<span class="mu-i">You’re</span> gonna need an ambulance if you keep practicing your comedy routine on me, garlic breath.” Mabel counters before taking another sip from her mug! “If they can walk, send ‘em over. If they can’t, well, I’ll just get one of these cavemen to give me a hand,” she answers as she jerks her thumb towards Bill, Darren, the Jake statue, and the rest of the people you could probably interpret as ‘<span class="mu-i">cavemen</span>’. “Just don’t forget to look out for yourselves, too.”
Thanks, you reply, you’ll keep that in mind! With a noncommittal shrug, the Nurse shambles off to the storage room where she was keeping Raj. Real piece of work, huh?
“Hey, if she’s able to fix us up I’ll take it, man.” Remarks the skater as he gives his bandaged wound a pat. “Barely even feel it anymore!”
Heading over to the room you found those maintenance lockers in, a tired sigh escapes your mouth as you find the bathroom door still locked. She <span class="mu-i">really</span> doesn’t wanna talk to Jake, huh?
“Can ya’ blame her?” Asks Raj as you press your ear against the cold metal door.
Nada.
Given the situation you’re in, you can’t help but feel a little concerned… what’s the plan?
>TRY TO GET PEPPER’S ATTENTION!
>BUST THE DOOR OPEN!
>GET RAJ TO COAX HER OUT!
>SCREW THIS, JUST FIND SOMEONE ELSE!
>SEE IF ANYONE ELSE CAN HELP YOU GET HER!
>WRITE-IN!
