“Oh, well that’s a relief!” Sighs the Skog as she reaches down to give TT’s hair a tousle! “Shoulda’ seen this little spitfire, though! What an act!”
Yea, you blink, she’s… she’s all done? She’s not arrested? What happened?
“What happened,” The Spinner replies with a cocksure grin on her smug face, “Is the Conductors broke up the performance!”
Another blink. Isn’t that… bad?
“Bad?” She repeats, cocking her head to the side, “Why would that be bad?”
Well, you retort with a nervous smile, she didn’t… get her instrument back… right?
“Ah, there you are.”
Appearing at your side with the usual professionalism chiseled into his face, Joplin looks you up and down before continuing. “Is the matter handled?”
Yea, you nod, Lutza’s safe… and so is the train. Her stalkers were gonna blow it sky-high! If that startles the Gnok, he doesn’t show it.
“Yes, the sudden activity among the Conductors would appear to corroborate that. You have our thanks, Mr. Peas… and our reward, as agreed upon.” He concludes, handing over a weighty pouch of bells!
+3000 BELLS! NEW TOTAL: 7600!
“Gee,” Giggles Tzah-Tzie as her tail gently strokes your leg, “Dunno why, but you suddenly look a whole lot cuter, Ant~”
“Monetary worth has no demonstrated effect on ‘cuteness’.” Drones Lutza’s manager with nary a blink! “On a separate, but equally-important note, I’d like to go over the logistics for the Lutza Versus Tzah-Tzie…” He pauses to release a disgusted groan, “‘SLAMboree’.”
And there it is, confused blink number three! Your eyes are proper moisturized now!
“Like it?” Smiles the Spinner as she gives her tail a playful flick! “Course ya’ do–I came up with it~”
TT, you hiss through clenched and very perplexed teeth, explain.
“Allow me.” Joplin interrupts while TT continues to smug it up at your side, “Stupid, reckless, and litigious actions aside, your friend’s little challenge made the crowd ‘go wild’, to use the common vernacular.” A rare twinkle appears in the corner of Joplin’s steely eye! “We wish to capitalize on their fervor.”
“A concert, Ant!” The Spinner snickers as she gives your robe an excited tug! “A whole crowd of people watching me DESTROY Lutza! And we’ll get paid!”
“I can’t speak on the first point, but the second is a guarantee, yes.” Nods the Gnok before shooting you a wary glance. “We’ll have to set a date, of course, as well as a venue. What are your thoughts?”
The questions pile onto you like a sack full of anvils! C-can we talk about it later?
“We can, but time is, as they say, money.” Joplin sighs. “Worry not about your long-term arrangements–I’m of the opinion that we capitalize on this sooner rather than later. One performance. One venue. One ‘duel’.”
