“Dayum, Trixie… I thought you’d have something in your gear that’d smell bad but that… that’s a whole different kind of bad…” Estelle’s voice sounded exceptionally bad and nasally as she tried to speak with one hand pinching her nose.

And then, it jumped into the air, crashing against the ground with a resounding explosion, spinning forward in a spiked ball directly at the closest members of the Pride…
