#skurv

Rambley found himself physically running through Oceanic Odyssey as the coyote's chilling song echoed everywhere.

"Her sad little hunt to feed her chicks backfired fast!"

He winced but pressed onward. Still, he couldn't escape it.

"Went to the front and heard that long-forgotten sound: a digital rat..." Rambley's face sank as the next line boomed around him. "Now she's lifeless on the ground!"

Rambley froze in place, staring down at his paws as a horrible feeling clung to the pit of his stomach. He shook it off and sprinted back into a run through seemingly endless halls as a foreboding chorus of 'yo-ho' chants rang out seemingly everywhere at once and pursued him endlessly.

"I... Th-That Mollie was sick..." he managed to weakly moan out once he finally found his voice. "I-I freed her..."

All at once, the chanting chorus stopped. Rambley was only given a moment of total silence before he heard his voice right behind him.

"That really be what ye believe...?" Rambley clamped up in terror and slowly turned around to the sight of Skurv sneering down at him in all his horrifying glory. "...murderer?"

Skurv opened his decayed maw up wide. Very wide. And just as his teeth came crashing down on Rambley's head...the tour guide AI system came back online.

It took Rambley a frightening moment or two to register that he was back in his normal spot in the park's computer system. He could see the new hire still napping in the Oceanic Odyssey lobby through the security cameras.

None of that previous moment was real. Just a subconscious projection generated during Rambley's defragmentation cycle.

Pirate yaoi, applause please.

this pirate meetup is going to end terribly
