The Perilous Quest to Save Vinyl From Certain Demise

Carefully, making sure you don't lean on the wood and make it creak, or possibly swing open, you place an ear agains the crack leading to the next room, trying to make out the muffled voices so you can understand what's going on.

One of the voices is definitely male, letting out strange, low grunts and groans, leaving little to the imagination as to what activity he was performing.

The second voice is more feminine, also giving out sounds of extortion, though much more high-pitched and frantic than those of the male. Even through the wall, you can hear a coarseness in the voice, one that you instantly recognize.

As loathe as you are to admit it, you cannot deny that you're hearing Vinyl's voice, shrieking in protest to something. You've never heard her this scared or panicked before, and it pains you to hear her play the hopeless victim of the scenario.

Listening closer, you're able to make out some words of the conversation...

"Graah... are you ready... ungh... to admit it yet?"

"Aaaagh! N-never!" came Vinyl's reply. "I-I'll never- Nnnnnngh! l-love you back... Aaagh!"

The male voice, which you can only presume is Prince Blueblood, responds with hearty, scornful laughter.

"Maybe not yet..." he says mockingly, "But soon enough, you shall realize how much you desire my regal presence... how handsome and dashing you find me... and how much you yearn for my company..."

You've heard enough. If hearing Vinyl in pain was too much for you, hearing her taunted and taken advantage of by this spoiled, royal pig makes you grind your teeth in anger, unable to listen any longer.

You have to save Vinyl from this! if only she can hold out just a bit longer...

Open the door just a crack, and peek at the other side.

Barge through the door in a rage, and attack anyone who dares to allow Vinyl to be used in such a foul way!

There's a cooling vent near the ceiling... maybe you can climb into it and sneak above whatever's happening in the next room.
