Council of Creators Episode 22

Ambush is the [NUMBER LARGER THAN 20th] episode of Council Of Creators. It was written by Koopa. This is the second story in the Sepsis Arc.

Koopa was slumped over the vacant bar counter at the Council of Creators base, a half-full glass of cloudy lemonade sitting on the counter a short distance away from him. In a state of half-sleep, half-wakefulness, his eyelids were drooping, his green eyes turning watery and periodically dripping tears to try and rehydrate themselves. It was then that MosuFan2004 approached him. "Koops, what's wrong?" He asked.

In response to this, Koopa shuddered, and jolted 'awake'. His dishevelled form became clear to see under the light of the hanging lights. His skin was a pale cyan in tone, and black rings had formed around his eyes from many a sleepless night. He also looked thinner than usual, and his sternum could be recognised through his skin, rising like a steep cliff out of his chest. His breathing took the form of slow and deliberate gasps as he caught his breath. As Koopa spoke, his eyes darted from left-to-right. It was clear that he was trying to think about what to say with a great deal of effort.

"Oh...uh...." Koopa began. "You don't have to hide it, tell me the truth, friend." Mosu replied, an air of confusion in his voice.
