[ Hello, Echidna!

You are in grave peril! Well, no, you're not, but it will definitely seem like it at first.

You're in a cage with a single control panel on a door, being held aloft high in the sky, by a creature who is just so happy to be here. This kitty-bird is enjoying the high life. You might even hear purring.

But still, you're being held in a cage in the sky and you can't see the ground. Yikes! It's scary!

That said, on the panel in front of you is a selection. Ten different teams, with (0/1 CHOSEN) written in dark green text below. ]

You see why I'm lodging a complaint with the manager! We deserve to wait and twiddle our thumbs in the lap of luxury, not in the lap of our huge teammate I just met for the first time!

Miss Fallin was asleep for a while. But she's very nice and her back is very comfortable, so don't complain about it.

[begguiling]

Hmm, should I complain about people being murdered instead?

[warpweft]

Nobody's been murdered yet! That's what we're here to stop!

[begguiling]

You're doing a lot of complaining about my complaining!

[warpweft]

You're doing a lot of complaining about my complaining about your complaining!

Can't you tell I'm holding back the waterworks here? All those poor people on the other teams . . . !

[warpweft]

I know, okay?!

I don't want anybody to get hurt! Last time....

[She looks away and shakes her head.]

I don't want it to go like last time.

[begguiling]

Er, last time? Maaaaybe now's not the time to ask for the details . . . awkward.
