|
||||
|
||||
The bears shudder at the mention of Monokuma. "Oh, such a dreadful
|
||||
bear," laments the tardigrade. "You mustn't mention him!"
|
||||
|
||||
"Indeed," agrees the merbear, "a discredit and an embarrassment to
|
||||
bears everywhere, at sea and on land!"
|
||||
|
||||
"Yes, this sea may be big enough for two bears, but not if one of
|
||||
them is HE!"
|
||||
|
||||
The merbear considers the tardigrade's words. "Hmm, *two* bears you
|
||||
say?" he ponders, giving the tardigrade a scrupulous side-eye. "Do
|
||||
you truly think so?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Now that you mention it, I don't see why not!" admits the
|
||||
tardigrade, gesturing broadly at the fathomless leagues of ocean all
|
||||
around you.
|
||||
|
||||
"You know what? What is the sky anyway if not a sea made of stars!
|
||||
The moon could indeed use two bears too, could it not?"
|
||||
|
||||
"It could indeed, Brother Bear!"
|
||||
|
||||
"Brother!"
|
||||
|
||||
The tardigrade and the merbear embrace. If you've never experienced
|
||||
the eight-armed hug of a water bear, well, then you don't know how
|
||||
soft and enveloping it is.
|
||||
|
||||
"Come, Brother!" cries the tardigrade suddenly. "We must begin our
|
||||
search at once! For what if there is a third Bear of the Sea yet to
|
||||
be discovered?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Another Brother of ours who doesn't know about us? Oh, I can't stand
|
||||
the thought!" sobs the merbear.
|
||||
|
||||
They swim away hand in hand, paragons of brotherly bear love. "Good
|
||||
luck and safe travels, interlopers!" calls the merbear to you over
|
||||
its shoulder. "If you ever end up on the moon," adds the tardigrade,
|
||||
laughing merrily, "say hello to Hap'n'stance for me!"
|
||||
|
||||
Suddenly, a disturbance! A perturbance of bubbles and a rush of
|
||||
current as massive amounts of water are displaced by inky black
|
||||
tentacles that shoot up from below! They reach! They grasp! One grabs
|
||||
the tardigrade around the middle. Another grabs the merbear by the
|
||||
tail. Both bears cry and reach for each other as they are ripped
|
||||
apart and pulled down below.
|
||||
|
||||
The tentacles grope around in the water, batting at you and
|
||||
threatening to pull you down too! They grab at your wrists and at
|
||||
your ankles!
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT DO YOU DO
