"WHAT!" he yelled through the slime in his mouth, which tasted like a certain family of apocryphal elements from the Periodic Dining Set.
The cube (having invited the comparison, Scofflaw was reminded of Spongebob Squarepants) apparently took the villain's exclamation as a question. "Other battles!" Velobo blurted out, returning to his adorable little feet. "I just got... a signal. Gone now. Listen, this changes things. We aren't the only battle."
"Slow down, man. Who sent this message?" asked Kerak.
"The Fool did say 'a' Grand Battle, not 'the' Grand Battle," Tor pointed out.
"is th-re an- chan-e you cou-d s--d a -epl-?" Tengeri began to form before Scofflaw interrupted.
"Dammit all," spat Scofflaw. "That means this is just the qualifying round."
"Yes!" shouted Velobo over the hubbub. "Yes, Scofflaw, he said that there'd be another battle after this one. Reinhardt said that--"
"TWOOOOOOOO MINUTES. IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN: THE DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA; THE FOURTH FLOOR BATHROOM; ANY ROOM ON CORRIDOR--"
"I think that's our cue," said Tor. "No more distractions. We'll talk about this later."
"--ELEVATOR SHAFT; OR THE OLD SPANIARD'S OFFICE; IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO REACH A BUNKER IN TIME. SPEND YOUR REMAINING ONE MINUTE THIRTY-FIVE SECONDS ACCORDINGLY."
Scofflaw wiped some slime off his face and moved on. Tor sighed and followed.
