>>12517520After enduring a bunch of tossed crap, the three of us exited the theater. Quags' ice ball had broken due to a few shots gone wrong. The conflict was starting to die down, with staff finally getting control of things, but not quite there yet.
In the corridor, I saw that same Musharna again, the weird one that walked everywhere and had wide-open eyes. Dribbling pink cloudy snot coming out of her nose, she sniffled, snorting that gross crap back up again.
It caught the attention of Quags and Mantine, that's for sure.
[I'm going to rape you and it won't be pretty.] said an animatronic Dragonite that popped out of the wall, in a content tone even.
However, it didn't phase Musharna at all, she just kept on walking. The robot was left to retract into the wall and deal with it.
We tried to think nothing of it, but that Musharna was quickly starting to become a person of interest to me. It was clear we were going to have to have a little talk with her sooner or later.
I shifted the elephant in the room out and changed the topic, "So Mantine, what's with that thing on your head?"

"You're kidding.."
"Nope. Genuine article. I got it from a well-trusted source in Calnutta, and THAT extremely well-trusted source said he found in a rainstorm one day, buried deep below the ground. Part of the reason I'm on the ship was to see if this artifact had anything to do with Glavacados, y'know see if the rumors about it being half of the kingdom were true, it's also part of why I invited you, with that intellect of yours and all. After all, with the cancer and whatnot, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get my life back with that Efixir."
