Descent into chaos
Joe vanished for a moment, before returning with a smile.
"Hold on to your chestnuts..."
Seemingly out of thin air, he materialized next to the campfire on the far end of the camp, addressing a bewildered pig-men with a casual wave.
"Hey there! What's cooking? Oh, es dis supposed tuh be fud? Blegh! Yuh par tings!"
"Good lord, dis tastes like despair mixed wid regret! Try dis instead!"

) toward the nearest pig-man. Unfortunately his throw resembling a drunkard's attempt at darts and the pellet smacked the pig-man's leg and burst into a vibrant explosion of colour, painting the unfortunate creature's knee in a spectrum of rainbow hues.Despite the lack of actual harm, the pig-man leaped up, howling in fury, while Winston, undeterred, chomped on [get-post=188620 excerpt=Item: Floaty-light Chews Chews]one of his Weightlessness Chews[/get-post] and waved casually.
Predictably, chaos ensued.
The enraged pig-men charged toward him, but Winston, now buoyant thanks to his chews
shot up into the air, water-jet propulsion pushing him forwards
. He found himself soaring uncontrollably, his swimming gear, it turned out, was surprisingly effective for aerial acrobatics, though not so much for precision.Winston desperately tried to steer himself, arms flailing like a mad windmill as he engaged his hand-thrusters and raining water down on top of everything. His upward momentum halted, but he began hurtling downward, straight toward one of the pigs. The pig-men, their focus solely on the airborne ferret, paid no heed to the imprisoned tunawans. Winston whizzed past one pig, temporarily abandoning his leg thrusters in favor of wild hand gestures. Clearly, he had underestimated the concentration required to control his thrusters under the influence of gravity's cruel grip.
Unable to evade another pig's punch
, Winston rocketed into the side of a makeshift shelter, leaving behind a perfect ferret-shaped hole as a testament to his daring escapade. It was all he could do to activate Turtle's Shell
as he accepted his fate and plumited through the air.The pigs were all staring at the shelter and congregating around it to see what would happen next.
Whatever Marak was up to, Joe looked panicked for a second, then relieved and signaled that all was OK.
