Blah blah blah blah. So negative. Even talking to Madrigal's more fun than this. "I'm not going to blow up your manse. Like I said, I didn't even blow up the last one, and it wasn't even me who didn't blow it up, anyways. You're mixing it up with Headspace, which I haven't blown up yet, but I will, in a day or maybe two days. You don't have to come along, because I've got it all planned out. I just need to ask Us if it'll let me— are you sure you don't have a timeframe?"
Pat's glower is half hateful and half quizzical. "No timeframe?" you continue. "Okay, then... you might have to come along. Just in case they show up in the middle of talking to Us, because I can't really leave that quickly. Did I tell you about Us?"
She looks at Guppy. Guppy gestures unhelpfully to the three of you.
"...No? Oh. Uhh... so you know your facility I didn't blow up? And you know all the goo in there? There was a lot of goo in there. Um, I'm sure you know that. Anyways, when it didn't blow up, all the goo sort of fell out of the pipes and tanks and whatnot and made a big goo soup at the bottom, gravity-wise. A *big* goo soup. There was a *lot* of goo. And you know how goo is kind of alive? ...And made from dead people?"
The glower's now 100% hateful. You breeze onward. "Well, the soup is super alive! And super made of dead people! Except they're all stuck together, kind of, and they can't remember their names very well, so they're just 'Us'— and they have this dream-manse-ish thing which looks like back when they were all alive— which was a *long* time ago. Centuries. I think the Flood killed them. Anyways, I talked to them, and they were pretty nice, except I think I made them mad because *Lucky* set some stupid fires and ruined everything... so... I need to go and explain it was his fault, so they'll help me and let me slam the Headspace manse into them to rescue all the Headspace employees from the aforementioned future blowing-upping. Um, I think that's everything."
Guppy whistles. "I KNEW that stuff always freaked me out."
Pat does not whistle. Pat has sat down, and is holding her chin in one hand, so you can't see her mouth. She is looking intently at the juncture between the tent wall and the floor.
"Um... and you need to go with me! Maybe? Unless it'd be better if I delayed it and just waited here, then I could go by myself after? I don't really know what you'd rather..."
Still looking at the uninteresting juncture. You better just pick for her.
(Choices next.)
