You’re not exactly the ‘Date Doctor’, but their explanations painted a pretty decent picture–not that you didn’t have it lying around in the garage already…
Okay, you begin, this is, like, the last leg of the, uh… witchcraft. Listen closely, otherwise it won’t work! Concentrate!
“For the record, I don’t consent to change or alter my position in any way or form.” Oti drones as Toppel continues to burrow into his side! Guess again, idiot: the Vibes have already taken hold of his body!
“Ah-! Y-you breached my <span class="mu-i">DEFENSES!?</span>”
As the Chytree jolts in genuine shock, you move on to your verdict: The Vibes, you begin in a grave tone, don’t lie: they’re both very, <span class="mu-i">very</span> intelligent people.
“HA!” Croons Toppel as she surfaces from Oti’s side for air, “Didn’t need <span class="mu-r">FORBIDDEN MAGIC</span> to know that!”
“That’s one thing we can agree on, yes…” Her beau adds, still rattled from your magical assault.
And that’s great, you add as you prepare to poke the proverbial bear, but that confidence ties in with what you believe is… well, the issue!
Both spellcasters focus on you like a pair of cats spotting a laser pointer!
“... Choose your next words carefully, Anton…” Oti growls as Toppel assents with a spirited nod! “Magic or not, you-”
No, see, this is it right here! They’re so wrapped up in this idea of being powerful and smart and amazing that they push people away… but can’t they see?
The mages exchange a befuddled glance. “No.”
“That’s why it’s called ‘<span class="mu-i">Dark Quest</span>’, you buffoon.”
R-right, right… An exasperated sigh leaves your lips as you double-down! The thing is, they only grew more powerful when they opened up to each other! They saw it themselves in their class–would they have really risen as many ranks as they did on their own?
“Yes.”
“Without a doubt.”
So all of that time they studied together, researched foes, went to lunch… none of that meant anything?
For the first time in, well, <span class="mu-i">ever</span>, you can feel a crack forming in Toppel and Oti’s defenses as the former’s eyes drop towards the ground and the latter’s flicker indignantly!
Oti: you cooked for Toppel and left without a word to protect her from harm! Toppel: you could have left town at any time ever since Oti showed himself again… but here you are begging to stick around!
The Vibes don’t lie, you conclude in a firm, but measured tone, they clearly still care about each other… and while they don’t need to shout it from the rooftops, they’re smart enough to know that this… partnership… this team of theirs… it’s a force to be reckoned with! Two magical maestros against the world!
