Loudermilk: splashes into the water "Game time, champ! You almost lost the match there!"
Yeah, yeah, boss, I'm sorry! Just slipped my mind, is everyone okay?
swimming towards the surface "Everyone's fine, but you need to focus! We can't afford any more mistakes!"
Eyes widen oh my goodness...
grabs VelvetPhantom's arm "Don't just stand there like a dumbass! Get your ass in the water and help me!"
snaps "Finally! Now move your ass and start pulling people out of the water! We need to get them to safety!"
I pull a guy out of the water
shouting "Nice job, champ! Keep it up! And remember, stay calm and focused!"
I bring my hand up to my mouth shhh
gruffly "What now, Phantom? We ain't outta the woods yet. Got any more bright ideas?"
I whisper something to him
narrows his eyes "What did you say, Phantom? Speak up, I can't hear you!"
leans in closer, his voice low "Alright, spill it, Phantom. What's your brilliant plan?"
Look across the lake, those two islands, they have a narrow point connecting them, if we push the crowd there, single file, they'll make it across, everyone will be saved!
grins "Now that's the kind of thinking I like, Phantom! Let's get 'em moving, shall we?"
I cup my mouth and yell EVERYONE PLEASE SINGLE FILE, FOLLOW ME!
grabs a nearby lifeguard's whistle and starts blowing it loudly "Attention! Everyone listen up! Phantom's got a plan, so follow his lead and stick together like glue! Move it!"
I yell Stop standing around and get in line!
As the group follows Phantom's lead and begins crossing the lake single file, an unexpected wave crashes in, sweeping them all off their feet and into the depths of the lake.
Shit, Loudermilk, what's wrong with the lake? It's acting crazy! Hold on tight, I'll pull you close!
grits his teeth "Damn this lake, Phantom! We gotta find a way outta here before we become fish food.
Look for anything underwater that we can use, sticks, rocks, whatever!
starts frantically searching underwater, looking for anything useful "We need something solid, something we can use to pull ourselves outta this mess!"
I grab a few rocks I got us some rocks, now do you have anything we can use as a rope?
grabs a nearby water plant, yanking it out of the ground "Check this out, Phantom! This might just do the trick!
I take the rocks and the water plant and tie them together
grinning "That's the spirit, Phantom! Now we're cookin' with gas! Alright, first things first, we need to get a secure grip on that rope.
I wrap one end of the rope on a rock
finishes tying the knot, then hands the rock to Loudermilk "Hand me that rock, Loudermilk.
grins mischievously "Now we're gonna need something heavy to weigh down the other end of this makeshift rope. Phantom, you up for some extreme rock climbing?"
Yeah, I'm fine with it, now let's get to it!
starts making his way up the rocky cliff, holding onto the tied rocks and water plant "Phantom, keep that line steady!
