[PQ+] to the gay refrain of a happy working song

The centipede that Jack crushes underfoot, squishes, but not before a few other centipedes begin to crawl over the smuggler’s feet. The idea the man offers to Saiden is a good one, if you’re trying to flush them out – yet their little black bodies and legs both move and clog, spitting some of the water Saiden uses back at the group gathered around, pieces of the insects bodies lingering within the water. It drenches Jack the most, Saiden a fair bit, and only a few splashes sent over toward Eloise and the Torcher she’d wrangled up to help.

The only one that seems to have much luck at all, seems to be Eloise. A few of the insects that crawl over Jack’s feet and along the ground in front of them are easily picked up, and moved outside away from the building without issue. The Torcher she’s wrapped up, downs the drink before using the cup to try and gather as many of the creatures and dump them outside in the alley as well.

It seems that the other Torcher that Saiden has also wrangled also has a fair bit of luck, able to clean out the cracks of the creatures and spackling the wall where they’d came from – a job mostly completed and well enough done to pass any future glance overs inspections.
