You’re nice, you counter as Volka wanders off for a moment, but your pals are pretty trustworthy–how do you know she won’t just bite your face off once you spring her loose, hm?
“Well….” Zuzu makes a show of pondering, “Ooh, I know! What if I tell you about a <span class="mu-i">SPECIAL</span> way outta’ here? I was gonna use it once I busted out, y’know!”
“Got ‘em!” Reports your Grand Marshall as she returns carrying something <span class="mu-i">VERY</span> smelly on her shoulder, “And time is money, Ant–I don’t think they were keepin’ these warm…”
“Oh-<span class="mu-i">HO!</span> All the more reason to use my <span class="mu-s">SECRET GETAWAY!</span>” Winks the Shyppa! “How lucky for you~”
“If you were gonna use it, why haven’t you escaped yet?” Frowns TT as she leans against your leg with an unimpressed glare on her face! “Sounds like we hold all the cards here.”
“Because I was waiting for the right chance, duuuuuh!” Giggles Zuzu! “And here you are! Lucky me~”
“I dunno, Ant…” Tzah-Tzie remarks as she appraises the captive, “In my experience Shyppas will do anything for a free meal…”
Kinda like her then, huh? You get a nip on your knee in response! Ow!
“Seriously, Ant–these girls are meaner than they sound!”
“Maybe we just unlock it and run?” Suggests Volka as she adjusts the bag squelching around on her shoulder! “I’d feel bad if we left her to be auctioned, but… hmm…”
“I promise I’ll only eat the other guys! Puh<span class="mu-i">LEEEEEEESE!?</span> C’mon, you think you can sneak out with that smelly ole’ bag? Guess again!”
You weren’t sure it was possible for a fishy-smelling flesh-eater to give you puppy-dog eyes, but ope, there they go!
What’s the plan, An?
>Leave her. We’ll take our chances!>Free her! Carefully!>You wanna know more about Shyppas first…>What ELSE can she give you? Sweeten the deal some more!>Stay silent! She’ll think you disappeared!><span class="mu-r">FISH FRY</span>>Write-In!
