<span class="mu-r">”Aaahhh, I doubt it… reckon he’ll just use it fer’ somethin’. Couldn’t tell ya what that is, but-</span>
Your eyes meet with your new neighbor’s, and you’d be lying if you said a Teksoul wasn’t something of an improvement–somehow you doubt these guys blast Nightcore at 3am… Strange… they might be machinelike, but when you stare at them long enough they almost seem…
Actually, you mutter in your mind, you think you might have a hunch as to what he’d be using you for!
<span class="mu-r">”What?! Whatwhatwhatwhat? Don’t leave me hangin’, kid!”</span>
The Teksouls, <span class="mu-r">RED!</span> They’re run on PEOPLE! Or, like, a PART of people, probably! That’s why the Cartel’s giving him the living and dead… and <span class="mu-i">THAT’S</span> why they seem so damn eerie all the time!
<span class="mu-r">”Huh… hey, that’s a pretty good idea, now that I think of it…”</span>
Sure, you shrug, but that seems like a waste, doesn’t it? What good would you be in one Teksoul? And why would he go through all this trouble just for that?
<span class="mu-r">”... Maybe he’s not gonna use you in just one?”</span>
The Archdevil’s words put you into pondering mode–is… can he do that? You’ve never sliced up a soul before, but-
<span class="mu-r">”Oh sure ya’ can! Slice ‘em, squish ‘em, stir ‘em up and slurp ‘em…” RED</span> explains like your granny sharing a recipe, <span class="mu-r">”Plenty a ways to prepare a soul… Now splitting one? Shoot, that’s beginner stuff, now that I think about it!”</span>
He’s pretty chipper for someone who’s about to get his investment stolen. Another raspy laugh leaves <span class="mu-r">RED’S</span> unseen lips!
<span class="mu-r">”Have a little faith, Anton… I didn’t get to where I am today by rolling over for the first jumpy wizard that comes along!”</span>
See, he SAYS that, you think back pointedly, but he was trembling in his britches the last time you met Trier!
<span class="mu-r">”True, but now we’re back… and we hold ALL THE CARDS!”</span> Snickers the Satanthing! <span class="mu-r">”Shoot, we really oughta’ capitalize on this, pard! And don’t worry about this whole ‘soul’ thing none… I got me a PLAN…”</span>
Can’t WAIT to hear it….
<span class="mu-r">”Oh ye of little faith… don’t you worry, RED’s got this all under control, you’ll see~”</span>
Yea, that’s what WORRIES you! That said, if <span class="mu-r">RED’S</span> feeling fine about all this, well…
Maybe you DO have some bargaining power. Trier hasn’t mind-controlled you yet or anything, so who knows?
He also hasn’t come back over to spew crazy at you for a while. Guess the man really is busy!
What’s next?
