It's Diplomousy Time at the Mystery Box

Attack Wallace? But why would you do that to your Adventuring Companion? Even if it's to spare his innocence, you're pretty sure knocking him out would not only damage His Noggin, but also damage Whatever Fledgeling Scraps of Trust he has in you. Which is something you already decided you'd avoid doing.

Sweet, naive pushover that he is, you can't imagine a situation where his innocent and ineffectual ways would be a reason You Actually Need to Hurt Walter.

At first you thought they may be Fellow Felines, though on further inspection of their tails and ears, you wonder if maybe they're Some Manner of Mice? Identifying them is complicated by the fact that they also seem to be large blobs of Acrid-Smelling Green Jelly.

Whatever these Mousy Jelly Creatures are, you briefly consider Feeding Them some of your C-Rations. Maybe they're just out looking for food, and you could settle this Without a Fight? It's possible, but... well, you're also partial to your food. Even if this is the Price of Peace, you're too Internally Conflicted to part with them just yet.

[2x1][Image: mad.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Okay, this looks bad, but they haven't seen us... and that means we have surprise on our side.

I can take the Slimerat on the left. If you can handle the right one, then we'll have the numbers advantage. Sound good?
[/box][/2x1]

As you hesitate, however, the Aforementioned Pushover seems to be taking his own initiative. Surprising! He whispers conspiratorially to you as he equips his Cold-Iron Crowbar, so as not to spoil a Potential Ambush.

Of course, you don't have any intention of doing that either.

At first glance, these creatures might seem to steadily emanate Near-Palpable Waves of Blind Malice... but is it really fair to just assume they'd resort to violence? Let alone preempt that with Violence of Your Own? You think not. In fact, you're sure that Nobody Needs to Get Hurt here, and you're not afraid to say it.

[2x1][Image: hood.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Actually no. I'm not going to fight them.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: nervous_away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]W-what? You're seriously not gonna help me fight these things?[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_judge.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Of course not. Frankly, we both shouldn't be fighting them.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]I mean, we could just hide and wait for them to leave, but Slimerats are pretty weak Creeps. We could handle them if we work together.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Actually, I think we should handle this diplomatically. We can talk this out, without anyone getting hurt.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: frustrated.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Ha ha, very funny. Reasoning with Creeps. Right.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_judge.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Come on, Walton. They're probably just as scared of us as we are of them.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]You're actually serious right now...[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]I've always been serious.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: vacant_away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Look, I don't really know you, but I get the sense that the only thing "always serious" about you is the trouble you make.

If you really don't want to fight them, why don't we do the sensible thing and just run away, and...
[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_judge.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Nope. I already said we're gonna use diplomacy here, and come to an agreement.[/box][/2x1]

[Image: diplomacy.png]

[2x1][Image: away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]An agreement? I've barely talked with you, and you're already one of the most difficult people I've ever met. I don't know if you're even capable of agreeing with someone. And yet, you're apparently the diplomatic genius who's gonna make peace with the Creeps?[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_smile.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Yeah! I like the sound of your plan. I'm sure we can work things out with these Slimerats or whatever.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: miffed_away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Did you forget that monsters like these have been making huge parts of the city unsafe? That all you can do is either fight them off, or run away and hope someone else takes care of them? Or else?

I mean, I wish it wasn't like this too, but that's just what we have to do to get by. So...
[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_judge.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Sheesh. I hope you don't do that to every person you meet on the street, Wilbert.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: mad_away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]But these aren't people! What part of them being Creeps do you not get?[/box][/2x1]

Wow, that's some Ugly Language right there. You obviously aren't making any headway in convincing this guy, so perhaps it'd be better to shift your energies elsewhere. Maybe it's time to start focusing on Making Peace With the Slimerats?

The Slimerat Trio must have heard you two Arguing About Agreeing, and decided to take the initiative and surprise attack you instead!

As you regain your footing, acidic ooze sizzles against your cloak, hood, and Steel Scalemail. Thankfully, your body itself was only Grazed Non-Seriously by the attack... but standing around and taking another hit like that would certainly deal you a Life-Threatening Wound.

[2x1][Image: nervous_away.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Woah, a-are you okay?[/box][/2x1]

What do you do?
