Oh, god...Well, at least we're not both in the White Brimstone... "I'm terribly sorry about your wait, miss Ghray. We'll have you out in a few moments!"
Poking up from the center of the bowl was the waiter staff's favorite phoenix, but unlike any other time I'd seen her, she was only covered by a black bikini emblazoned with red flames pulsing from the forefront of each breast. Her entire stomach'd plugged up the hole above the dropoff pool, and somewhere beneath the bowl I could hear her talons madly paddling about in the water, but the ride was too slimming for her to wriggle through any further than as far as she'd wedged herself in.
"That's what they said before! How about now?!"
"We're on it. I'll just need some more supplies..."
I fished out the call cord back from underwater and signaled to Gertrude with five sharp tugs, who agreed with one yank back. In the few moments following with no response, I sidestepped away from the path of the bowl's mouth and peered over, waiting for any sound from the silence above.
"Hrrk...come on!" Stacey pushed against the floor, thrashing even harder against the pool. "I'm starving!"
Yeah, it's not like you've got two years of time to guzzle down around here...
It started out faint, but I could hear something gently rolling down along the length of the slide. At the expense of Stacey's patience, Gertrude took her time feeding a load through the pipe via rope, but after a full, painstaking minute I decided that twenty feet was close enough and signaled again. The barrel went slack and splashed into the water, floating by the cushioning tied around.
I wrenched off the lid and dug my hands in, scooping out two generous handfuls of petroleum jelly. "Alright, we're good to go!"
