Expedition Day 3: Entry 4
Once I returned back to camp, I noted that Gramble was waiting for me with a couple of his Bugsnax in the form of Charwee and Peely, that Cromdo had set up his stand once again, and that Chandlo had set up my stand, complete with an open and close sign on it. And it was currently in the closed position, which I then flipped to open, which made the salesman look at me in confusion.
"Are you hoping to set up business, too? Because I heard that the island will explode in a few days," Cromdo asked, me smiling at him.
"Free therapy sessions. And Gramble is going to be the first official customer. Maybe you could do with a visit," I smiled, him scoffing at me.
"Peh, I don't need any therapy! I'm perfectly content with being myself, thank you very much," he said, me sighing at him.
"I'm not going to force it on you, just know that everyone has some sort of baggage when they came to this island. If you ever want to ask a question, I can confirm it will be 100 percent confidential," I said, Cromdo frowning at me as I then looked at Gramble with a smile. "You ready to go to the barn, Gramble?" I asked, him nodding as our group then went to the barn in question... and for Bronnica to stay behind and talk to Cromdo.
"And I don't think you'd believe me, a talking Strabby, but know that, if you don't get rid of your problems, you're going to have a hard time getting off the island," Bronnica said, her then rolling over towards Wambus and Triffany's house and for Cromdo to gawk with his mouth wide open at her talking English. I then looked at Scorch with a smile.
"You can make sure Cromdo stays out of trouble, right, Scorch?" I smiled, him nodding his head.
"Of course," he said as Gramble and I then went into his barn and he then sighed.
"O-Okay... so... what do we talk about?" the shy farmer asked as I simply smiled.
"Anything you want to get off your chest. I'm listening intently," I said, him then sighing.
"W-Well... remember when I said my family got killed in that bridge explosion?..." Gramble asked, me nodding at him. "W-Well... I wasn't exactly being truthful... mah family... they didn't die... they took all of their belongings and just left me... I've tried to ask them why, even visiting their new address... but they treat me like I'm nothing... I... I don't want to face that kind of pain again..." Gramble said, him then rushing to me and giving me a tight hug, me smiling as I hugged him back as he proceeded to cry. "I don't know what to do with mahself! I didn't do nothin' wrong, so why did I get abandoned?... Is it because of me?... Did I do something wrong?" Gramble asked through the tears as I looked at him with a sad smile.
"Gramble," I said, getting his attention. "I don't know a thing about what happened between you and your family... but if they left you out of the blue, and treat you like trash, then they are most certainly the ones at fault, not you. You're probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met, so any family worth their salt would never want to leave you. I don't think that it's a good idea to be focusing on the past... look at the others on this island. Wouldn't you say that we're more of a family than your old one?" I asked, him sniffling at my statement and thinking a bit, him finally sighing and nodding.
"Y-Yeah... they are a family... you're family, too... you promise you'll never leave me, right?" Gramble asked, me smiling at him.
"If I were to do that, I'd be the biggest fool on the planet. You deserve happiness, Gramble," I smiled, him sniffling and then hugging me again, me smirking at him.
"T-Thanks Felicia... I.. I feel so much better now..." Gramble said... but I also noted that his Bugsnax looked at me with angry eyes.
"You ruined it," said one of the Bugsnax I'd brought him in the form of a Cheepoof... wait... what?
"We could've turned him tonight when he sleep-walked, but you ruined it!" said none other than Charwee, me gawking at that, but even more so when the Bugsnax then immediately surrounded me, which made Gramble look surprised.
"U-Um... w-what's goin' on? What's up with the little ones?" Gramble asked as I looked at the Bugsnax with a new emotion. Fear. And then, the Bugsnax then all tackled me to the ground, me gasping as I felt them pinning me down, Gramble gawking at the sight.
"Gramble! Wambus! ANYONE! HELP!" I shouted, as one of the Bugsnax in the form of Peely rolled up my stomach... and he then looked at me angrily.
"Open your mouth," he said, me shaking my head no and keeping it shut. "Open it up, guys!" he shouted at the other Snax, Gramble gawking at how the Bugsnax of his barn were trying to force my mouth open! He immediately opened the barn door and proceeded to shout for help as he grabbed the Snax off of my body and started to literally toss them at the walls!
"GIT OFF MY FAMILY! CROMDO! CHANDLO! SOMEBODY! PLEASE HELP!" Gramble shouted out of the barn, the Bugsnax not even letting up and continuing to try and assault me, me then growling and doing on thing. I looked at Gramble with a frown and spoke to him.
"Bite them! They've gone crazy!" I shouted, me then getting Peely in my mouth and me biting down on him intentionally, him turning into a pile of mush in the process... and color me blue in surprise as Gramble then proceeded to do the exact same to the other Snax... and after doing it for long enough, the remaining Bugsnax escaped the barn and left towards the hill leading to the Garden Grove!
"What happened in here?!" Wambus asked in shock as I spat the last bit of Peely's mushy body out of my mouth and I saw that Gramble looked very concerned.
"I-I-I dunno what happened! One minute, I'm telling Felicia about my issues... and then, the Bugsnax go crazy and attack her! Pinning her down with Peely trying to force himself down her mouth! I-I've never been so scared in my life!" Gramble gulped as I looked at Wambus, Gramble, and Cromdo shortly joining the group... and I knew that I had to tell the truth.
"I... need to confess something," I sighed, the others looking confused at me. "When I said that I was going to offer free therapy, it was mainly for one reason. Any weakness you have is able to be exploited by the Bugsnax, kind of like an addiction," I said, Cromdo looking at me in confusion.
"You're telling me that Bugsnax have an addictive quality, like drugs? Peh, try to fool me on another day, pal," Cromdo said, me frowning at him.
"It's not a lie, Cromdo!" shouted Bronnica as she rolled over and Triffany also joined us. "You may not believe me, since you're so stubborn, but I used to be Triffy's grandma!" Bronnica said, that making Cromdo look at her, then at Triffany, and then at Wambus.
"Um... you gonna say anything?" Cromdo asked the married couple.
"We'll say this. It's absolutely true," said the voice of Snorpy as he and the rest of the Grumpuses came over to the barn next. "Just ask Chandlo's sister, Solana Funkbun." And then, the Hunnabee appeared and Cromdo looked at her in confusion.
"Hmph. I know Solana Funkbun, and that ain't her," Cromdo frowned at the Hunnabee.
"It's twue, Cwomdo! Ask me thwee questions onwy I would know and I'll pwove it!" Solana said with annoyance.
"Peh, fine. What's Solana Funkbun's favorite cartoon?"
"Zoboomagrump."
"Um... okay... what's her favorite fanfiction?"
"Gwumpy Old PokeGwumps, fanfiction of PokeGwumps, upwoaded 19 chapters with 30,239 words," Solana said, Cromdo gulping.
"U-Uh... her most hated person of all time?"
"Vlademir Grumputin, leader of Russia since 9 months before I got Snakkified," she said, Cromdo gawking.
"Wait, wait, hold up! Hold up! Is that what the Bugsnax plan to do when the time limit is up?! They're gonna turn us into Bugsnax?! I thought you said only the queen did that!" Wiggle said with annoyance, me frowning at that.
"I had to make a lie to prevent you all from getting scared and running away again... the Bugsnax exploit weakness and then they force themselves down your throat, turning you into Bugsnax shortly after... but the current queen of the Bugsnax is giving us the warning to leave the island within a time limit and holding off a mass invasion of Bugsnax for one specific reason... according to my Bugsnak partners... Lizbert Megafig is the current queen," I said, that making everyone gawk, minus Snorpy and Chandlo.
"WHAT?! H-How can she be a Bugsnak Queen?! D-Did she become a Bugsnak?!" Beffica aksed in shock.
"No, that's not what happened to her," Solana said. "The Bugsnax twied their absowute hardest to overtake her when she got to the Undersnax, the heart of this iswand. But she had no weaknesses they could expwoit, so she overtook the Bugsnax heiwarchy and became their queen. But because she is an imperfect queen, she can't contwol the Bugsnax for a wong time. When the time wimit expires, 4 days starting tomowwow, Wizbert will lose her link with the Bugsnax. And they'll come fwom all over the iswand to turn you into them, just like they did to me, Bronnica, and everyone that's come here in the past, Grumpus AND human," she said, that making Triffany gasp.
"HUMAN?! But there were no documented records of humans being lost to this island! And Felicia doesn't get her body parts Snakkified, so-" Triffany was about to say before I felt an itch on my nose and proceeded to itch it with my left hand... before they all saw something that I didn't.
"What?" I asked... before I looked at my hand. And when I did? "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! ! !" I shrieked in absolute terror at what I saw! My hand had actually turned into an orange slice from when Peely tried to go down my throat! "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! MAKE IT GO AWAY!" I shouted in fear at the sight, the others looking at me and Chandlo coming over to give me a hug while Snorpy gave me a paper bag as I started to hyperventilate.
"Well... uh... I'll say it now, since Felicia's a bit preoccupied... her Shishkebug is one of 7 humans that have been recorded as coming to this island. And all of them weren't documented, mainly because nobody cared to document them," Bronnica said. I didn't even bother giving a response, because I was still freaking out at my hand having been turned into an orange peel!
"Easy, easy, Felicia! You're going to be okay, bro," Chandlo said as I shivered from the concern I felt in my soul.
"I-If my hand's turned into an orange... w-what if I turn even more Bugsnak in my sleep?! I-I..." I gulped... but then I realized... fear... I had my own weakness... "I'm... terrified... terrified of Snakkification... terrified of the Bugsnax crawling into my mouth when I sleep... terrified of getting turned into a Bugsnak... terrified of being forgotten like all the other humans that have come to this island... I... I need help... I need it just as much as everyone else..." I sighed as a few tears fell down my face, the others looking at me and then all of us having a group hug, even my Bugsnak partners joined us in the group hug.
"It's okay, Brodoga... how about you sleep at my pad tonight?" Chandlo asked as I smiled at him.
"Thanks... but I feel I'd be safer in the cockpit of the rental balloon... with the door locked..." I admitted.
"I'll say this much to you, Felicia. Your fear is just as much a weakness as everyone else's. That's why the Bugsnax sprung at you, to exploit your weakness. If they were out in the wild, they wouldn't have done that, but in town, they're out of the reach of the lesser queens and king and further from Lizbert's reach," Scorch said, me sighing at him.
"Don't worry, I can help you sleep easier tonight... Me and my hubby will protect you with our lives, that's a promise," Omari smiled, me smirking at her.
"Thanks... to all of you... we need to get everyone else back tomorrow before we go and dethrone the other queens and king... we need everyone's help and we need to get all of our weaknesses under control... I'm positive that Floofty's is scientific interest and Scorch has told me that Shelba's weakness is that she wants people to listen to her... and as for Eggabelle, her weakness is Lizbert. I'm going to check on them tomorrow... but uh, Chandawg?" I asked, him looking at me with a smile. "Could you maybe repair the bridge that Cromdo sold me? It's uh... in need of desperate repair," I said, him smiling at that.
"You don't mind, do you, Cromdawg?" he asked the salesman, me expecting him to say something bad... but he didn't.
"If it means saving our hides, I'll stop the salesman stuff. If we get out of this alive, I want to follow my dream... and I'd like it if I could get help from you guys to make it real," Cromdo said.
"So... what is your dream?" Beffica asked.
"It's to be the owner of a popular karaoke club. Don't spread word, got it?" he said to Beffica, her nodding.
"After learning all this stuff? I just don't want to die with everyone hating me. I want to start a new life, living incognito with my bestie," Beffica said, me smiling at her.
"I can arrange that," I smiled at her.
"Then I say we get to hard work starting tomorrow. And from now on, sauce only, right?" Filbo asked, me noting that he was oddly quiet.
"Peh, I hate them things, but if it means getting outta this joint without becoming living food, I'm fine with it," Cromdo frowned.
"Same," everyone else said.
"Guess I'm the lone wolf here, because I kind of liked the taste of the peanut butter fruit," I smiled.
"Don't come near me with no peanut butter fruits, got it? Me and Shelba are allergic to that stuff," Wiggle said, me nodding at her.
"Promise," I smiled as we then finally dispersed to our different abodes, and I finally was able to get some shuteye in my rental ship's cockpit room... and I did have to make sure the other Bugsnax were watching for intruders from the locked door before I closed my eyes and started to sleep.
Expedition Day 4: Entry 1
I woke up in the cockpit of the ship, after having the worst night's sleep in my entire life... you ever had a night where you wanted to sleep, but you just got woken up by nerves every time you were about to go into dreamland? That was what it was for me. And I still felt a bit nervous about looking at myself in the mirror that was to the right of the bed. I went over and did so, feeling that the Band-Aid had to be pulled now instead of later... and yep. My hand was still an orange slice. None of my other body parts had turned while snoozing, thank God, but that didn't mean I wasn't still scared of the Bugsnax and their ability to turn you into them. Oh, and the top of my hair was different again. This time, it was covered in some kind of honey and had sprinkles coating my hair. Sweet variant for sure. Greaaatt...
I got outside of the ship and saw the other Bugsnax in my crew were still diligent and watching for intruders, with Solana actually flying above the others in the air for any aerial Bugsnax.
"Did you sleep easier with us on guard duty?" Omari asked, me sighing and shaking my head no.
"I was. A nervous. Wreck. All. Night. Long... I slept terribly," I groaned as I then stretched my back out and groaned in annoyance. "And once again, my hair changes to a different Bugsnak type in the form of sweets... when will this nightmare end?" I groaned.
"When you fight your fears and help everyone else do the same. But don't you have some interviews to do?" Scorch asked, me looking at him in annoyance... before then looking at Solana.
"Might as well do an interview with everyone. And I'll start off with the only Bugsnak that can be heard in complete English. Solana, care for an interview?" I asked, her being surprised and gasping, despite having no mouth.
"U-Um... are you sure? I uh... I'm not good with camewas," she said with a shy expression.
"It's not a camera. It's a voice recorder. You're the only one who can talk English perfectly, so I wanted to get an interview for the paper... which is now going to be talking about the true nature of Snaktooth and that everyone needs to stay the fuck away from it," I said.
"Thank you," Scorch groaned.
"Okay... I'll do it, then... should we do it here?" she asked.
"Might as well," I said as I got out my recorders and saw that I still had 4 more I could utilize after Solana.
"Starting off... who are you?"
"Uh... I'm Sowana Funkbun... I crash-wanded on this iswand years ago... and had bad things happen," she said.
"What are these bad things?"
"The Bugsnax. At first, I thought they were the coowest things ever. Wiving food that tasted better than anything else? I wanted to get their help to weave the iswand... but they had other pwans."
"How long have you been on Snaktooth Island?"
"I've been here for 10 years... and I wost my gwip on sanity after half of one of them," she said.
"For the ones at home, what happened to you?" I questioned further.
"After I'd spent 6 months twying to get off the iswand, I gave up. I simpwy waid down on the gwound and waited for the end. The Bugsnax then hopped in my mouth all on their own... and before I wealize what was happening, I wake up to find that I'm a Hunnabee, a type of Bugsnak that's a cwoss of honey sticks and honeybees!"
"Were you able to keep your thoughts of who you were afterwards?"
"No... for the wongest time, I couldn't even wemember my own name... then, a week ago, I saw a gween gwumpus pwaying with some basketballs. It was Chandwo, my big bwother! I twied to get his attention by taking the balls wike when we were younger, but that made him want to eat me even more... I then forced myself to wearn Engwish, since Bugsnax can't talk normawwy without saying their names over and over..." she said with worry.
"Any final messages for the viewers at home?"
"I have one message. Never ever come to Snaktooth willingly. If you even so much as touch the soil, your fate is alweady sealed... and for mommy and daddy... I weawwy want to see you again..." she said, me smiling and stopping the recording afterwards, me then going over and hugging Solana's ball, her actually crying from her googly eyes. "I'm sowwy... I miss my pawents the most..." she sobbed.
"And when we get off this rock, that's the first thing I'm going to do. Reunite you with your loved ones," I smirked.
"And I'll twy to help you get over your fears as well, Fewicia," she said to me, me nodding at her.
"Now, if we're done with this soap opera, I say we go and inspect the other areas around the place. Each one will contain the final Grumpus and one of the different Bugsnak Heirarchies," Applesauce said, me nodding at him. I then proceeded on foot to the town, seeing that the others were already hard at work with getting supplies ready for the balloon repairs and that Chandlo was only just now coming back from the desert with sweat on his face.
"Whew! Workin' on a bridge in the middle of a desert is thirsty work! I'm gonna have me some snakwater after that job!" Chandlo smiled as he then got a sauce packet in the form of chocolate, put it in a cup, and dunked it in the river, me seeing that it made the drink turn into something like a chocolate root beer concoction. I then checked in with the other residents and they all looked at me with concern.
"You doing okay, Felicia? I heard you screaming in your bed all night," Wambus asked, me sighing at him.
"Every time I felt myself trying to fall asleep, I had the exact same nightmare. Me turning into food and turning into a Bugsnak. But the thing is, it was a different Bugsnak every single time... but the moment it happened, I jolted awake with a scream... I tried to sleep my hardest, but it was impossible..." I groaned before then splashing my face in the water of the river in order to wake up the rest of the way.
"Maybe ya'll should take a breather for now. Or, at the very least, ask one of us to join ya when yer goin' to find the others?" Wambus suggested, me looking at the others and seeing they were all listening in.
"Thanks, Wambus... does everyone agree to that notion?" I asked, them all agreeing.
"I think I'll go with you this time," Beffica said, me smiling at that.
"Then that means we'll get to work on fixing the balloon up, okay, buddies?" Filbo smirked, them nodding as they got to work and Beffica then followed me to the first location, us going to the Simmering Springs.
"Um... why are we going this way?" Beffica asked.
"Because this is where Floofty was last seen. I need to talk them out of their scientific mind, since I have a bad feeling that they'll be the hardest to realize the truth," I said.
"Hehe, good luck with that. Floofty is always a science first, ask questions later kind of Grumpus. They're also very rude when speaking to others, since they've got zero filters," Beffica explained.
"Ah. So both of us when we were in high school, got it," I said, her smirking at that.
"Hehe, yeah, I guess that's right. We said some pretty nasty shit to each other back then, huh?" she asked.
"Funny how much we've changed in just a few years. We both get into journalism, but our paths went completely differently. You were paparazzi, I am a newspaper person... but, going to be honest, I doubt my boss is going to let me keep my job, even if I return successful," I said.
"Why would your boss be that way, though? I mean, you're doing a good job so far," Scorch asked as I sighed.
"What'd he ask?" the purple grump drilled me.
"He asked why my boss would be that way when I'm doing a good job so far. And the answer? Solana said that the Grumpinatti arrived here shortly after Bronnica went missing. They found her old journals and told Lizbert about the island in secret. And that's why we're all here. The Grumpinatti put the gears in place for us to come here for a messed up 'experiment', one that's far worse than anything Floofty could conceive," I explained. We had then arrived at the Simmering Springs... and we heard a voice from nearby.
"Are you insinuating that someone could be a better mad scientist than me?" asked the voice of the scientist, him emerging from behind a tree... and I saw that their foot that I'd turned into strawberries was now missing and replaced with a pegleg!
"U-Uh... Floofty, that's not the important thing. We need to tell you that everyone on this island, including you, are in grave danger," I said, Floofty scoffing at me.
"Peh, I knew you weren't a scientific mind. Going so far as to say we're going to be doomed, which is the same thing that idiot Shelda would say? Tell me exactly why I should listen to you," they said.
"Because the Bugsnax are going to turn you INTO a Bugsnak yourself!" Bronnica shouted in annoyance. And when Floofty heard her speak, the mad scientist immediately looked at her in shock.
"O-Oh my grump... a Bugsnak that can speak ENGLISH?! Where did you happen to find such a rare and fascinating specimen?!" Floofty asked.
"Gramble Gigglefunny," I said truthfully, which made the scientist look at me in bewilderment. "This is Sprout, AKA Bronnica Lottablog." And after I said that, Floofty frowned at me.
"You're saying that this Strabby that speaks English is the missing grandparent of Triffany Lottablog that went missing to this island roughly a year ago? Why would I believe something as nonsensical and non-scientific as that?"
"Ask me three questions that only Bronnica Lottablog would know. And if I answer all three correct, you MUST believe anything we say!" Bronnica said in annoyance.
"Ugh, fine. I'll be willing to place that wager. First question, what is Bronnica's favorite color?"
"Blue," she said.
"Hmm... question two, what is Bronnica's favorite drink?"
"Getting tougher, huh? A triple espresso deluxe with two creams, two sugars, and whipped cream," she said. And Floofty looked to be sweating at that answer.
"O-Okay... um... most popular archaeological find?"
"Oof, tough one... it's probably a close shave, but I think the discovery of the first ever Gyrannosaura Rex fossil is the most notable one... oh, but it's getting a bit too difficult! I've only started to remember these things a few days ago, and not all of it is back in my brain yet..." Bronnica groaned as Floofty looked at me and then at Bronnica.
"Come again? You're saying that you only started to remember things a few days ago... and that's when I first met this intrepid journalist. I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but... could it be that you were truthful? The Bugsnax are here to turn any intruders into their own kind?" they asked, Bronnica nodding her whole head.
"Yes, that's exactly what we're trying to tell you! I mean, look at what happened to my bestie's hand!" Beffica said as she pointed at my hand, and I immediately felt concerned when Floofty looked at my orange slice hand.
"Oh... my word... your hand became attuned to Snakkification... that means that even a human can become a victim?" they asked in shock.
"Yes. From what I've been remembering from speaking to the other Bugsnax during my time here... there are a total of 7 humans who have come to Snaktooth and turned into Bugsnax. And K-Bob, Felicia's Shishkebug, is one of them," Bronnica said.
"I.. I see... so... that means that Bugsnax are going to be coming to kill us?" Floofty asked.
"It's not as simple as that," I sighed as I trembled a bit. "The Bugsnax are patient... they look for weakness in their prey. Imagine it like a drug addiction. Whatever weakness you show, the Bugsnax will exploit it. And when you finally give up on everything and rely only on the Bugsnax, they strike... all of Gramble's Bugsnax in his barn attacked me last night because I showed my own weakness... fear," I said.
"You're... afraid of Bugsnax?" Floofty asked.
"Not that... I'm afraid of Snakkification..." I sighed, the non-binary scientist gawking at that. "Afraid of possibly gaining more parts of food to my body if a Bugsnak jumps down my throat... fearful of becoming lost on this grump-forsaken rock and forgotten like every human that's been lost here in the past... and scared of forgetting everything about who I am when that happens..." I admitted.
"So you see now, Floofty? Everyone that came here had a weakness. You need to realize that weakness you have and conquer it. Otherwise, you'll be at risk of succuming to their influence," Beffica explained.
"I uh... I think I know my weakness, at least... my scientific mind, correct?" they asked. I simply looked at Floofty and they sighed. "I understand... I at least want to ask one thing from you, intrepid explorer," Floofty said, me looking at him in confusion as he handed me something different. A different Snaktivator. "I wish to have my foot back. That Snaktivator is different than the one I gave you previously. If you activate it and point it at a body part you've changed on me prior, it should come back," they said, me then understanding and doing just that, testing it out on the missing foot... and I saw that, when I did so, I managed to get their foot back!... Only downside was that it was strawberries.
"As expected, it worked... but I need to stop with this scientific jargon, or I may very well be lost to the sands of time as all who have come before," Floofty sighed.
"You don't need to give up science entirely, Floofty," I said, them looking at me in confusion. "You can use your science for something different. To help people. Maybe you could help make some verifiable weaponry for a future battle we'll be in?" And when I said that, the mad scientist gained a look of interest.
"I'm listening..."
"In short, Lizbert Megafig is going to be the last one to rescue. But in her current state and placement, trying to get her off the island will cause the island to try and kill us shortly after, sending every Bugsnak they have after us. We need some weapons to fight them off while we get Lizbert to the balloon, which the other residents of town are currently rebuilding," I explained, him nodding at me and listening intently.
"Hmm... sounds like something I could get my hands dirty in! However, before I do this, I request one thing beforehand," Floofty said, me looking at i/n them confusion.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"I need to ask if you can go ahead through to the Boiling Bay. That is where my science equipment is, as well as a giant Bugsnak that will surely try to stop our conquest on its lonesome when we escape. You'll need to salvage my equipment and get the Megamaki monster slain before we can be safe from any reinforcements from this part of the island," they explained, me nodding at that.
"You got a deal," I said as we then split paths. Floofty went back to town while Beffica and I went to the area where the Boiling Bay was at. And the way there was through a crashed ship, one that K-Bob gawked at.
"That ship... that's the one that I was held prisoner on... I can remember that part, clear as day..." K-Bob said with a sigh.
"Well, be ready to remember a lot more, honey. We need to get off this place and get a second chance at life," Omari said, me smiling at them.
"Again, what are they saying?" Beffica asked. Bronnica then explained in full and Beffica looked surprised. "So... they're a couple?"
"Not just that. Wife, Husband, and parents. Their daughter is in the Sizzling Sands and is a Buffalocust," I explained.
"Huh... cool," Beff smirked.
