long time no type
After a wee bit more silence, I asked, "So, what're you doing here?"
"What are YOU doing here?" he asked back.
"I asked you first," I pointed out.
"Oh...right...so you did," He said.
"So," I continued, "What're you doing here?"
"I always come here," he said, "That is, after everybody's gone." He looked uncomfortable.
"But didn't you have a fear of being alone?" I asked, remembering the information I learned at the Oddworld Encyclopedia.
"Oh, that," Munch said, laughingly, "I got over that a long time ago."
"I see," I said, "But why are you here alone?" He looked down, embarassed, and then said to me,
"You don't know what it's like, to raise a species! It...it...does things to your mind!" He had a scare in his voice.
"They Hunger! oh the hunger! and they wont leave me alone!" he started to feel like a deranged mother.
"I bet its terrible," I said, trying to comfort him.
"You don't even know the first of it!" he said, with desperation in his voice, "Then they become juveniles, and they won't do a thing you say! now times that by how many gabbit eggs I saved!" He was going crazy!!!
"So, you come here to get away from them?" I asked.
"Well, I used to," he said, "They're all gone now, I just come here to get my sanity back! I long for something, something more, but I just don't know what!"
"Hmm..." I said, "Would you like to join us?" I asked.
"Us? whos us?" He asked.
"Just me, Abe, and Stranger" I said.
"Thats it!," He said, leaping out of the water, "An Adventure!" he sat down.
"Just who are you anyway?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
I went ahead and told him everything I told the other 2. He listened with a look of shock, horror, and amusement throughout the whole thing. When I finished, he looked down and thought for a bit.
"This is alot to swallow," he said, "But I need an adventure, so I'll go with you."
This was just great. I got out of the water and put my clothes back on. Munch followed me out. When I got outside, Stranger was already talking to Big Face and Abe. Abe saw Munch, the look on his face was a happy one in the least.
"Munch!" he yelled, and ran toward Munch.
"Abe!" Munch yelled back, raising his hands up. Abe came and lifted Munch up and hugged him tightly, a bit too tight. Munch was trying to get out. Abe finally dropped him.
"Whatcha doing here?" Abe asked.
"Well," Munch started, "Phill here said I could join you guys on your adventures." I nodded.
"Whoa," Stranger said, "Who said we were going on any more ADVENTURES? I think its time I went my own way." Munch looked back at me, with a look of dissapointment on his face.
"Now listen here Stranger," I said, stepping forward, "If it wasn't for us, you'd be on Ozin's lunch menu."
"Well...but..." Stranger stuttered. I continued.
"And I think that since WE got nothing better to do, we might as well go with you." I was gaining ground.
"But I want..." Abe started.
"Abe!" Munch hissed.
"Oh...right..." Abe said, "We wanna go!"
"Oh fine, you buncha hippies," Stranger said, defeated.
"You're gonna need our help," I said, "Abe can posses, which we found out could help us along alot. Munch can zap and control electronics, which could also be helpful, and I..."
"you got a big mouth," Stranger said.
"I," I emphasized, "I have an inventive mind." Stranger laughed.
"You also have no where to go," he said, "So you might as well of come with me anyway." he waved for us to join him. We ran up to him.
"Do you have any more outlawz for us t'bag?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Not that I know of," he said, "But we can find out in another town." He motioned his head,
"Let's go."
So there we went, Stranger, Abe, and Munch, The Oddworld Trio, together at last, and me in the middle of it. What our adventured would take us to is for me to tell. But I'll tell you this, The adventures will be awesome.
