Guybrush stuffed his possessions under his mattress haphazardly, his irritation from the previous night already showing. LeChuck was here. LeChuck! He already had to deal with this Landel guy, who he suspected was De Singe back from the dead, and just adding to the mountain of problems he had yet to solve was that LeChuck was here, human, and Voodoo-less, and as badly as he wanted to believe the dread pirate was probably just trying to pull the wool over his eyes, Guybrush couldn't help but think that he was being serious. That made things complicated.
What else made things complicated? Morgan showing up alive and well. Morgan! She'd been dead- definitely dead, not in one of those states where one might make a sudden and miraculous recovery from death- and had somehow shown up alive and kicking. He was happy to see her, but her appearance was another brick in a mounting wall of evidence that he really had died, and that the institute really did bring people back from the grave for some unknown reason. Figuring out why was going to be tricky.
Another wrench in the cogs? The special guest appearance by Elaine. Elaine! Not Poxy Elaine or Sexy Swimsuit Elaine, but the Elaine that hadn't yet said her I Do's and could therefore take them back at any time. Or what if LeChuck put on his nice guy act and wooed her? No, that could never happen. Could it? Why was she taken from the past, while Mo and LeChuck and himself were brought to the institution from vaguely the same time frame? It was as if De Singe/Landel had his heart set on screwing up Guybrush's life.
His panicky thoughts were interrupted by his nurse, who wordlessly nodded her head for him to follow her. Sliding into his slippers (he had two, thankfully), the mighty pirate did as he was told for the moment. He had to find Elaine and talk to her, get back on her good side, let her know he was still the same sweet, handsome, charming pirate she'd agreed to marry years ago. ... Yeah, this could be a lot harder than he thought.
His nurse left him in a chapel, so he took a seat toward the end of a lonely pew, picking up one of the hymnals along the way. He'd not been in a church in some time, but they were all pretty similar, aside from the depictions in the stained glass windows. And this one had a fountain! Classy.
