Chip is unresponsive, not surprising given that he seems to have difficulty seeing "Slobs." Lacey appears to be asleep, and you're not sure if it would alarm her to wake her up or not. You're not sure you need her at the moment, anyway; what you do want are your things back.

You can't really see it, but you can "feel" the presence of your tote bag, and find it easy to take it from your other body despite the fact that you have no idea how that works.

You don't really want to know, either, since it felt like reaching an extra, invisible arm down a long, invisible chute, and both of them were moist. You wonder if you would even need your "sword" right now, and how you would even hold it in your claws. No sooner does this question cross your mind, however, than it abruptly answers itself.


SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

What just happened?

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Seems like you're capable of mutual biomaterial integration.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

She means you and your weapon have an understanding. She really likes you!

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

I see. I uh, guess I like her too. We've been through a lot.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

You've got someone's kid in here, huh?

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Ugh, did you have to put it that way?

But yes, we found one of the missing kids in a vending machine, apparently. I think I was a little out of it at the time, but she seems like she's asleep. We should bring her back to her mom as soon as we can.


CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Mmm...probably not in your current state. We're still going over your memory data, and we can't say we like the look of these veterinary staff. I doubt you would survive so much as raising their suspicions, let alone strolling into their ward like this.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Okay, noted. What do we do with her?

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

She's probably safest with you, but we would advise depositing some of your inventory in your personal storage.

RAMBLIN' EVIL COLORECTAL POLYP

Ain't gettin' rid'a me that easy, toots.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Oh, great, it can hear us. *Sigh*....hi, polyp. Staph, Celia, this is polyp, a disease that won't get out of my tote bag but kind of helps out, sometimes, I guess.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Seems like an upstanding enough entity to me.

RAMBLIN' EVIL COLORECTAL POLYP

Nobody's up standing when I'm through with 'em.

QUEEN MAYA CELIA

I take it back, I flat out love him.

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Goodness, polyp, I MUST ask...how do you keep your suppurations so creamy?

RAMBLIN' EVIL COLORECTAL POLYP

WELL:

You have now discovered how thoroughly and abruptly you are capable of tuning out your companion's conversations.
