"A tiger? The hell is going on?!" He accentuated his frustrations by throwing the ketchup bottle on the floor and then giving himself a big facepalm.

"What kind of stupid question is that? She just screamed, I heard her! This isn't some kind of game, kid. Those vines are spreading and, I don't know how, but I think they are what made that lady disappear! We need to save Maddie now!"

And by [i]we[/i] he meant [i]himself[/i], because the only other help was an imbecile cook who was too busy taking his sweet time yapping his head off, some sort of clueless cosplayer girl who'd probably end up getting herself killed, and a few other people just standing around watching things happen.

A loud crash sounded from the floor as he knocked dishes and glasses off the nearest four-legged table. "Maybe we can use this as some sort of shield? Or maybe there's a window in the restroom?"

[color=gray][i]"Oh yeah, forgot I was still on the phone with you. There's a tiger in the restroom along with the girl. We're going in to rescue her, no time to explain!"[/i][/color]
