You and your brigade of cartoony retro anthropomorphic non-Pokemon super-acquaintances continue trekking deep into the swamp in search of the Muck Monster. Duck keeps up his sniffing act, making sure to ignore all skeleton bait this time around.
What he simply /can't/ ignore however, is the deathly female scream that suddenly pierces the marsh. Your skin tingles in tune to the yell, it's a total zoinks moment. You jump straight into Duck's paws.

A) ZOINKS THE FUCK OUT OF THERE.
B) "Are you a person or a Muck Monster masquerading his voice as a person? Clap twice if the latter."
C) Duck deploys an explosive oil barrel in the direction of the scream.
