Somewhere, deep in the Sea of Acheron... [[for Bow and Shinku]]

[big_whoop]

Well, it's fine we couldn't get Reisen on board now. I'm sure she'll finish up, and she'll suddenly find herself wanting an epic pirate adventure, and we'll be good, right Bow?

Well, I've got my hat, I've got my supplies, and now I'm going to make one last trip to Bloodstain to see if I can find any willing recruits in that...

They start

It appears the alien has decided to attack this world.

*Shinku is standing behind you with her dolls. You don't seem to remember them ever being on your ship.*

[big_whoop]

Yelp, flail, fumble the telescope, etc. etc.

Shinku?! How'd you get on here? And what alien? What's going on here?!

[the_5th_doll]

I came her through the Mirror in the captains room. This place right now is the safest.

And the Alien is Kerrigan, an insect like alien. She released her swarm against all of the Netherworld.

[big_whoop]

What?! Oh COME ON! Didn't we just do this whole "evil maniac trying to destroy/conquer the world stuff?" This is ridiculous!

[the_5th_doll]

It seems she feels it is best to attack when we are weakened.

I also get the feeling that she has been planning this for some time... and some people may not be who we think they are...

1/2

[slapwithpanache]

W-What . . . How could this have happened so quickly?!

2/2

[slapwithpanache]

. . . At least you're safe, Shinku. What do you mean by 'may not be who we think they are'? Imposters? Clones created by the Zerg?

Tch. I never thought she'd be a protagonist, but this is a bit absurd.

[big_whoop]

I was still me the last time I checked, if that helps any.

[slapwithpanache]

. . . That's exactly what an imposter would say. Throw him overboard, Shinku.

[the_5th_doll]

I was in the middle if cleaning my tea shop when they attacked. I was barely able to get away.

If any tea is destroyed...

I am not sure myself, but my dolls have been reporting odd activity among a few of the people here. I mean, that summoner mother appeared on day with giant insect wings. I have also heard accounts of people disappearing then reappearing hours later with no memory lost, and people acting crazy.

I was watching Guybursh for a bit before speaking to him. He was generally surpirsed when he saw the burning town. I don't think we need to fear him being infected.

Also, I doubt I can be infected either, same goes for you Bow.

[big_whoop]

Darned right I'm surprised! This is too much! I really liked this place, and now this jerk woman is gonna try and wreck it? No way! This is the first time I've really felt at home since coming to this stupid place!

Well, I'm not standing for it. I'm gonna stop this Kerrigan lady, or my name's not Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!

He grabs his hat confidently. There's that weird metallic crinkling sound again.

If I may?

[prinnyvulcanus]

[He stumbles out from inside the boat and sees the destruction.]

...What?

[slapwithpanache]

. . . Well if that's the case. Guybrush! Don't stray too far from me. We can't have you getting possessed by killer insect zombies; it just wouldn't do. And --

[A frown passes over her face as Guybrush readjusts his precious pirate hat; she is on the verge of mentioning something when -- ]

Goodness sakes! How many stowaways do we have?! What are you doing here? And why couldn't it have been the useful Prinnie.

[the_5th_doll]

You forgot to add TM Guybrush. Well, perhaps we should team up? if you have me and Bow with you, we can make sure you can't get infected.

*turns to look at the prinny*

And we also have a reusable bomb with us as well

[big_whoop]

Don't ruin my dramatic speech, I get so few of them. Anyway, sure, the more the merrier! We can do anything if we put our heads together!

*points to Vulcanus*

Except for him. If he gets too preachy, I might have to consider wasting ammo by dropping it off deck or something.

[prinnyvulcanus]

You...you...

You all need my help!
