Dave: Fidgeting D-dude! L-look at you, all g-giggly with the d-daughter-in-law's group! Epic fail, huh?!
Mohawkly
I'm not laughing
laughs nervously W-well, it's just that... I had no idea she was gonna ask you to join their little gathering! It's not like I set this whole thing up or anything.
Mohawkly
I'd rather be back at your house, actually.
grabs Mohawkly's arm C-come on, man! We can sneak out of here and grab some pizza and beer. Just like old times!
Mohawkly
I don't want to go outside.
nervously scratching his head W-well, what about we find something to watch on TV? We can make some popcorn and have a movie marathon, just you and me.
Mohawkly
but you still haven't told me what happened
pulls out his phone O-okay, okay. Look, there's a podcast I listen to, they're really good at explaining things.
Mohawkly
alright
puts on headphones for Mohawkly Listen to this, it'll explain everything!
Mohawkly
listens
pauses the podcast Alright, so basically, this guy named Buster, who was supposed to be at the party, got mixed up with some other dude.
Mohawkly
oh
gestures animatedly Yeah, I mean, can you believe it? This whole mix-up could've been avoided if only they had double-checked the invites!
Mohawkly
that's dumb
nodding vigorously Totally! I mean, who doesn't triple-check their guest list before a party? It's basic event planning 101, man!
Mohawkly
yeah
Mohawkly discovers a hidden message in the podcast episode, revealing a clue about the mix-up.
Mohawkly
Hey Dave, did you hear that last part?
leans in closer, eyes wide H-huh? No, no, I didn't catch that. Can you replay it for me?
Mohawkly
There's a song lyric at the end
quickly fast-forwards the podcast Oh, shit! That's from that one band everyone was talking about last week! Did they just drop a secret clue?
Mohawkly
I guess so
jumps up excitedly Holy crap, Mohawkly! This could be the breakthrough we need to clear up this whole mess!
Mohawkly
alright
grabs his phone and starts typing furiously We have to investigate this clue, Mohawkly!
Mohawkly
fine
starts pacing back and forth Okay, okay, we need to think this through.
Mohawkly
what do you mean?
stops pacing, grabs a whiteboard and marker We gotta break down this clue step by step!
