>>5700660Anything else you should know about the island, then? Any more bad juju or spooky history?
“There is <span class="mu-i">something</span>:” Mina replies, “My grandfather was quite fond of <span class="mu-s">HUNTING</span>-as is my father.”
Great, you sigh, so daddy’s good with a gun, huh?
“In the past they’ve both had animals brought to the island for the sole purpose of sport.” Explains the heiress as scans the world outside the window. “Creatures that aren’t native.”
So what, you frown, like… like <span class="mu-s">HIPPOS!?</span>
https://youtu.be/wiX8CJqt3Fc“Like bears, moose, maybe a wolf or two.” The girl explains, shrugging her pale shoulders again. “I doubt they’ve survived given their circumstances, but I thought it fair to warn you just in case.”
Gee, thanks.
“And be mindful of the <span class="mu-s">GEESE</span>,” she warns with a serious glint in her eye, “They’re <span class="mu-i">ILL-TEMPERED!</span>”
As long as there aren’t any <span class="mu-s">HIPPOS</span> you’ll be just peachy, you boast! Horrible things…
“Anything else you need to know?” Asks Mina as she shifts her weight from foot to foot. “I’ll need to return to the party soon.”
Yea, you reply, and it’s a <span class="mu-s">BIG</span> one: what exactly does she think her dad’s up to, anyways?
“That’s just it: I’m not <span class="mu-i">sure</span>...” She answers with a grave look on her face. “Ever since I reminded him about this party he’s been avoiding me.”
You think he’s just emotional about his baby girl graduating?
The Prez stares daggers at you for several <span class="mu-i">very</span> uncomfortable moments. You’re 90% sure she’s gonna punch you when her posture slackens a bit.
“Father and I have never really seen eye to eye, but there’s something here this time, I’m <span class="mu-i">certain</span> of it!”
Well she’s gonna need more than a <span class="mu-i">feeling</span>, you counter. Is there anything else she can give you?
“There is…” She nods as she rubs her chin in thought, “After I reminded him about the party, he immediately went to his office and made a call.” The girl frowns. “I didn’t hear it since it was on his cellphone, but he sounded tense. <span class="mu-i">Angry</span>, even.”
Does she think he’s got some sort of event planned of his own?
“I wouldn’t write it off, no…” Mina groans. “But I fear it's much worse than that…”
Like what, you scoff, <span class="mu-i">vampires?</span>
The heiress gives you a long, hard stare as if deciding whether or not to respond.
“... What do you know of the <span class="mu-s">OCCULT</span>?”
