Episode 4-8: Let Me Out
Alchemy Workshop - Chemical Storage
???	Why, that just won't do, sirs…
Man A & B	Oh no!
*tap* ...
Man A	Wh-Who are you? Are you NRC students?
Azul Azul	Yes. We are also the ones in charge of this venue. What you see inside that tank is a merman with quite the history. You are free to observe at your own leisure, but… …I would highly advise that you avoid bothering it in any way. If you get cursed, there is little we can do to help you.
Man A	A-A history…?
Azul Azul	Yes…
*click!*
Azul Azul	Did you know that many years in the past, the rare merman mummy was a greatly prized creature? It was believed it could be used for a cure-all: it could mend broken bones in an instant, make scars fade away, help relieve fevers, cure stomachaches… It was only superstition, but what a silly story it is. The mermen that had been forcefully turned into mummies naturally despised humans. They turned into vicious ghosts that were hellbent on getting revenge. The humans were unable to handle them, and suddenly, they realized the fault in their actions. In an attempt to save their lives, they took the revengeful ghost of one of the mermen and trapped them inside this magic water tank.
Azul Azul	It must absolutely never be damaged. So that this rule is protected… …we strictly! With the greatest of care! So that not even a single fingerprint is left on the glass! Pay very much attention to how we handle it.
Man B	O-Oh, really now. What a funny story, haha…
Man A	Um… Incidentally… What exactly would happen if we did happen to damage the tank a little?
Azul Azul	Then the magic seal placed on the tank would no doubt break. Though it has been momentarily quieted, a ghost's hatred runs deep. Even now, the mermen are searching for the perfect moment to carry out their revenge. Their one and only aim is to suck the life energy out of humans so that they can come back to life in this world. If, by any stray chance, the water tank was damaged, and the seal consequently broken… …everyone here would have the life force sucked out of them until they were nothing more than another mummy!
Man A	A-Ahaha! This is a joke, right? One real, big, funny, hilarious joke! …Right?
Man B	But, like…it's Halloween. Isn't there the possibility it's super for real? And look at how sincere his eyes are! Is there anything about him that looks like a liar?
Azul Azul	Oh? You look a little pale. Are you quite alright?
Man A & B	Uhhhmmm…
Azul Azul	There's no need to worry! So long as the water tank is not damaged, the merman ghost won't come back to life… Wait, what?! There's a crack! But how?!
Man A & B	We, uh…
Azul Azul	Did you two do this?
Man A	N-No! The selfie stick moved by itself! So it just kinda hit it a bit, I guess…
Octavinelle Student A	Huh? It just "moved by itself"? Mister, do you really think we're gonna believe such lies?
Octavinelle Student B	Usage of selfie sticks is prohibited here. So, how you gonna make up for this? Hm?
Azul Azul	What should we do? At this rate, the mummy will come back to life…
*rattle*
Man A	Whoa! Why'd it suddenly move?!
Man B	I-It's really a live merman! Does that mean that story was true?!
Floyd Floyd	Let me out of here! You can hear me, can't you? Let me out! Let me out! Let me out lemme out lemme out lemme outlemmeoutlemmeoutlemmeout Lemme out…
*bang!*
Floyd Floyd	LET ME OUUUUUUUT!
Man A & B	UWAAAAH! CALM HIM DOWN!
Azul Azul	Calm yourselves down first. We have to fix the water tank right away…
*click*
Man B	Gyah! Wait, what's going on? Is this a powercut?!
*click*
Azul Azul	*gasp* The merman that was sealed inside the water tank is gone!
Man A	No way… It was definitely floating in there a second ago!
Azul Azul	We were too late…
Octavinelle Student A	It probably escaped. It's likely hiding in the darkness to target us!
Azul Azul	Let us leave the room for now. At this rate, we're all going to become mummies…
???	Oooogh... Oooooooogh...
Man B	W-What?! What was that sound?!
Man A	That sounded like something groaning...
*click*
Azul Azul	UWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
*click*
Octavinelle Student A & B	D-DORM LEADEEEEEEEER!
Octavinelle Student B	The dorm leader's going to be turned into a mummy if we don't do something! Someone call the teachers right away! Even another dorm leader would be fine! We can't handle this ourselves!
Man A	Wha? Huh?! Just let us out!
???	It hurts… Water… Give me water…
*click*
Octavinelle Student A & B	UWAAAAAAAAH! No, I don't wanna become a mummy! Someone help us!
*crash* *bang* *shatter*
Man A	Another powercut! I can't see anything! What's going on?!
Man B	I hate this! See, this is because you used your stupid selfie stick!
Man A	You're the one who said it'd be fine if I was just careful! Don't blame it on me!
*click*
???	Humans… There's humans here…
Jade Jade	This dryness… This pain… We'll let you get a taste of how all of it feels!
Man A	AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Man B	I-It's a mummy! One really appeared!
Azul Azul	Oooh... Ooohhhhgh...
Man B	Eek! It's that boy from earlier! He's been turned into a mummy!
Man A	Huh…? Hang on, then… who's that beside him…?
Jade Jade	Whew… I must extend the deepest of gratitudes to you for finally breaking my seal.
Man A	He's got the same face as that merman that disappeared from the water tank! Which means he's one of those malicious mermen ghosts?! S-Someone help! Please, you gotta let us escape!
Azul Azul	Ooohgh... Oooogh...
Jade Jade	It's futile. He is already under my control. My puppet, so to speak. He will only do as I wish him to. Isn't that right?
Azul Azul	Ooogh...
Jade Jade	Fold your arms.
Azul Azul	Oogh.
Jade Jade	Now sing.
Azul Azul	Laaaah ♪
Jade Jade	How about a nice dance this time?
Azul Azul	!? ...Oogh.
Jade Jade	See? Is it not as I just said?
Man A	You weren't kidding… There's no music and yet he's just dancing all by himself! This is so hecking creepy!
Man B	And he's real good at it, too… He must be being controlled by the mummy.
Jade Jade	*chuckle* However, the pain I had to go through does not even compare to this. I was dragged onto land, wrapped up completely in bandages and left out to dry, day after day…
Azul Azul	Ooogh... Oooooohhhhhgh!
Jade Jade	I could scream all I wanted, but no one would come to my aid. It was unbearable. I swore that if I were to become a ghost, I would take revenge on the humans that did this to me. That is why I am incredibly grateful to you both for freeing me.
Man A	S-So you mean you'll let us go, right?!
Jade Jade	On the contrary, allow me to show you my appreciation!
Man B	Your appreciation…?
Jade Jade	Why, yes… By turning you into one of us, that is! Boo!
Man A	AHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't see! Wh-What is this?! There's like, bandages or something wrapping around me!
Azul Azul	Boo!
Man B	Let go of meeeeee!
