his voice dripping with fake hospitality Ah I’m guessing this is the friend who cut your procedure short yesterday No matter We can finish it today No I growled A mocking smile spread across Mr Malvey’s face There’s nothing to be afraid of Your old pal the Loogaloo can’t break out of that circle it’s standing in And it does my bidding You see I’m the one who brought the Loogaloo across the water to dwell here in the Grotte just after I purchased this abandoned land So not to worry this beast is skilled at what it does and the whole talent extraction process will be painless
ZOMBEATS
Talent extraction Josie had the courage to ask even though I could see her shaking with fear What are you doing with Serge’s talent It’s very simple actually Serge’s talent will be mine to eat Mr Malvey let out a chilling laugh I’m sure you’ve noticed the mango tree in the courtyard yes Once the Loogaloo draws Serge’s drumming talent completely out of him it will breathe the talent into the mangoes I bring musicians to the Loogaloo and command it to extract their talents and then those talents literally bear fruit Those mangoes are the reason Zombeats is so popular and beloved After one bite of a magical mango
they play like superstars I didn’t want to hear any more I stole a glance at the Loogaloo who looked as defeated as I felt But why Josie asked So mediocre musicians don’t burden themselves with the pain and humiliation of thinking they can make it big when they don’t have enough talent to actually do so Mr Malvey said with a sneer I can cure them of this distraction this delusion and nudge them toward a more useful life purpose He turned to me Just because your dear old granny likes hearing you play doesn’t mean you’d fill a concert hall
