No matter how you slice it, the answer’s right there:
<span class="mu-s">THE BACK ENTRANCE.</span> Gotta be!
“Solid choice, bro!” Raj agrees with the usual enthusiasm! “I can introduce ya to some of my <span class="mu-i">compadres</span>!”
Maybe later, you reply, watching the skater emerge from the skittles like some kind of freakish mummy, the key here is all the people: no one will raise an eyebrow if we slip in!
“And it’ll take us right by all the girls in <span class="mu-s">BIKINIS</span>, right, <span class="mu-i">Romeo</span>?” Adds Pepper in a smug tone even for <span class="mu-i">her!</span> Does she even <span class="mu-i">LISTEN</span> to herself?!
“Solid plan, solid plan…” she muses as she readjusts her hat! “Lead the way, hot stuff.”
And lead you <span class="mu-i">do!</span> passing the aforementioned <span class="mu-s">FRUIT CART,</span> you turn your head away as you pass a pair of <span class="mu-s">DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE GOONS</span> guarding the <span class="mu-s">SIDE ENTRANCE</span> and follow the sound of punk music around the house!
Turning the corner, you’re nearly engulfed in a massive splash of water from the <span class="mu-s">POOL</span> you’ve heard so much about! Despite being big enough to be of the Olympic variety, the water is packed to the brim with all flavors of partygoers-some wearing swimsuits, some in their skivvies, and some, well…
Some have a little less coverage than that.
Wresting your gaze away from the folks that make up the third category, you realize Pepper’s already taken refuge behind you and Raj-she’s <span class="mu-i">really</span> not a fan of water, is she?
“YO AYLA!” Roars Raj as he waves towards the pool like a castaway signaling a ship, “How’s the water, bro!?”
The swimmer from earlier responds with a primal roar as she dunks another athletic-looking guy like a shark catching a seal! Terra, the girl in pink from before, stands safely in the corner of the pool sipping on a girly-looking drink. She gives you a friendly wave when you make eye contact which you waste no time in returning.
“You sure you don’t wanna take a dip, man?” Asks Raj with a mischievous twinkle where his eyes probably are! It’s tempting, you sigh, but now’s probably the best chance you have to get some snooping in!
Also you totally didn’t bring a suit…
“<span class="mu-i">Ditto</span>...” Mutters Pepper as she peeks out from behind your elbow.
“No suit, no problem, my dudes!” Raj laughs as he gestures to the sardine can that is the pool! “Clothing’s just a <span class="mu-i">thing</span>, y’know?”
Yea, you huff as you search for something, <span class="mu-i">anything</span> that can get you out of the conversation, you get the-oh <span class="mu-i">hey</span>, look at <span class="mu-i">THAT!</span>
