compnetwork | 001: Oops [video/public]

[Hey look Elaine's actually addressing the network for once!]

I, for one, would like to apologize for my behavior last week. I'm aware that it was out of my control, but it was still highly foolish of me.

While I'm taking responsibility for my rash actions, I would also like to turn myself in for the firetruck debacle. It's only appropriate since I... ugh, decided to make myself captain of the vehicle for the evening.

[She cringes in embarrassment. It's like she was poxed again, except without the inexplicable craving for coleslaw.]

...And, since I have everyone's attention, has anyone seen my husband around? Very tall, yellow hair, answers to the name of Guybrush, looks a bit like a flooring inspector? He doesn't appear to be in his apartment and he's not answering any of my calls. The last time we had one of these astrological sign happenings, it affected him rather badly and I'm worried that he may have run off and hidden himself somewhere and hasn't gotten word that everything has blown over. If anyone sees him, I would appreciate if you let him know that I'm looking for him? Thank you!

Man, I hope he didn't up and vanish. I liked the guy.

Although... Speakin' of, you seen anyone in armor with what looks like way too many weapons?

Vanished? Are you implying that he's been kidnapped?

I can't say I have, unfortunately. From the sound of it, they seem like the type of person who's not hard to notice.

I've noticed a few people just... completely disappear, no trace of 'em.

Well, you're not wrong about that. Maybe Gilgamesh got pulled back into the Rift or something like that...

[She hopes not, but she hasn't seen him in long enough that the blow has softened significantly.]

That happens? Well, I suppose if we were brought here on a whim we can be sent away. But I'm sure he'd never leave without me!

[She looks positively shocked. The thought of Guybrush being whisked away again, especially after everything they had gone through before Hinoto-Ri, was just a little too much to bear.]

Maybe not by choice. I know the feelin' of gettin' swept up into something y'only begin to understand, an' nothing is really convenient after that happens.

[DeDeDe brushes right past the apologies. He'd spent the whole week in his club anyway. But there's something else about this woman and the description of her husband that seems familiar.]

Your husband... he that big gangly goofy-lookin' guy? Hangs out at that pirate bar down the street?

The SCUMM Bar? Yes, that's him! I've already checked there, though, and he wasn't around.

I'll let ya know if I see him around. I run the place at the end of the block. Been meanin' to set up a little meet 'n greet for a while now, but the city's bullshit keeps gettin' in the way.

Oh, now that sounds like fun. I'm afraid I have to admit I'm not familiar with your establishment, mostly due to the same reasons.

It's a bar and gentleman's club, but we see our share of ladies lookin' to wind down and have a good time.

Damn right you better, you almost made me run us all into the pavement that night! And you made Eikichi first mate! What the hell's that about?!

[Daichi no you're not helping.]
