Your current supplies are as follows:

Classic Ford Thunderbird with an almost full tank of gas
Glock-20 10mm pistol (15 round magazine) [only basic proficiency in its use]
Set of large kitchen knives wrapped in a towel
Jug of water
Large duffel bag containing:
-One spare police duty uniform
-1 bloodstained tactical (not bulletproof) vest
-One half of a two-way radio set and its holster
-1 pair of thick cut resistant gloves
-4 LED traffic batons (lights, not weapons)
-Seatbelt cutter/window puncher
-2 packs of cigarettes

Let's pick up right where we left last time - what do we see on the road?

RIGHT THEN. This is something I wanted to do the second I read the things about the puddles.

If it looks like we're in the clear, I want us to pull over, take out the jug of water, and pour enough to make a fair sized puddle on a nonabsorbent surface (like a concrete road), and see if we can find that poor lady again.

If I have sunglasses I put them on. Then I continue down the road watching for any signs. Especially those warning me when we enter bat country.

I find the closest man and suck his cock because only a colossal faggot would be given the name of Paul and not change it as soon as he was able to.

>>6916327

What did you say Punk? You insulting Paul's name?

(Details of the two characters will be provided upon request)
>>6916292
>>Where we were last time.
"I cAn stiLl SeE yoU, PAUL." That's what the voice on the radio said, as you hit the highway out of town. After that, static no matter which way you turned the dial.

You've been up for a while now, and between the running, fighting, and the chicken in your stomach, you're starting to feel tired. The sepia tinted darkness doesn't do anything to keep you awake, and all the headlights show you is open countryside ahead.

>>6916314
No sunglasses yet. You make a mental note to grab some at the first opportunity. Meanwhile, you keep an eye out for signs.

>>6916308
Writing.

>>6916340
...

(Your arms are now broken for having one of the most predictable punches ever)

>>6916358

Well you can't even talk! All you do is grunt.

>>6916308
You pull over and stop the car. Alicia looks at you quizzically as you take your only jug of water and dump some of the contents on the ground. You don't think she was in any position to see the people underneath the puddles at the diner and police station.

You wait for the ripples to calm, and hold an LED baton over it for light.

Nothing yet.

>>6916380

Keep going, the million voices which inhabit my mind and tell me what to do seem to know what they are doing.

Concentrate, and concentrate hard.

>>6916378
>>6916358
>>6916340

If the thread dissolves into avatar chatter, I'm just going to delete it and start over from here next weekend. Nothing personal.

>>6916378
...

>>6916393
You're full of shit.

>>6916380

Come on, come on. . .

>>6916390
You keep your attention on the puddle. Maybe, you think, if you stay focused and watching, you'll see something.

Nothing yet.

>>6916465

Seems our attempt failed.

Get back in the car and keep driving, and pay extra attention for those signs...

>>6916479
>>6916465


Wait for a bit longer! Agh, crap. We can always try on Linoleum I suppose. But just a bit longer!

>>6916465
Let's think about it for a moment. How are the conditions now different from the conditions back then? Is us being in a building, and now outside, the only difference?

Just in case, I carefully place the jug on the ground and take a look at the water inside the jug.

Paul should probably explain why he is splashing in a puddle to Alicia.

>>6916498
The water is a strange tint, but considering the translucent jug is being lit by a normally colored LED traffic light in a place where everything is sepia, that might just be normal. Nothing else seems amiss with it. You return to looking into the puddle.

>>6916529
Alicia nods as you start explaining. "I figured you had some reason for it. You haven't acted crazy so far." By the end of your story, she's obviously a little creeped.

Let us continue on our marry way.

While waiting for puddle girl, ask Alicia about the creeps we met back in town. In fact, why don't we ask her about the local flora and fuana while we're at it.

Have we discussed the stuff tattooed on Alicias back with her yet? Or have we forgotten all about it?

>>6916577
>>6916479

Still nothing. You decide to retry your experiment later.

You get back in the car and proceed down the road for several miles, keeping your eyes wide open despite exhaustion. You don't see another car on the road. Finally, after several miles of only grassy fields, you see a large sign--the first sign of civilization since getting on the highway.

EXITING CITY LIMITS
SAY GOODBYE

>>6916608
STOP THE CAR.

>>6916608

Sayonara you filthy horrid wretched utter nightmare of a place. Sweet God, that was awful. . . Not to mention I think we killed a woman in a puddle. . . That's bad.

Guess we keep on driving. What's going on outside the car?

>>6916601
To answer my own question: it appears we forgot to do that. Paul should at least tell her about the tattoo to begin with. Also, though he can't read it himself, he can copy it given a writing utensil.

>>6916626

God and Christ almighty, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

>>6916626
continuing my thoughts..

Stop the car, ask Alicia if she's ever left the city limits before, and if anything abnormal happens if she has.

>>6916679
The words SAY GOODBYE are awfully suspicious and ominous to me, and based on the previous threads if would not surprise me if something particularly bad happens upon leaving the city.

Still waiting for consensus on driving action.

>>6916600
Alicia has already mentioned that she doesn't know what the floating abominations are. On the off chance that she knows about what was in the police station, you ask. She shakes her head. "I've never seen--well, heard--anything like that before. I don't think there's anything of the like where I'm from."

>>6916601
>>6916653
You mention that you saw the tattoo on her back, and her eyes get big as saucers.

"The WHAT on my back?!"

Apologize to Alicia for failing to mention this earlier. Tell her this must be the work of whoever held her captive for several weeks.

Could we use the combination of a rear view mirror and a well-polished kitchen knife to let Alicia take a look at her own back?

>>6916888
>>6916853

Going to resolve this once people decide whether they want to keep driving or not.

The knife/mirror thing is possible to prove there is a tattoo there, but won't be enough for anything more. Not in this light, with those tiny mirrors, while in a moving vehicle.

>>6917042
Keep Driving. Very much keep driving. We can't stay where we are, we have to press on until we know enought o HAVE a legitimate goal other than surviving. And survival seems pretty damned difficult wherever the hell back there is.

GO FORTH.

I'd say keep driving, but do ask Alicia the question here >>6916683

>>6917042

Been twenty two minutes mate, was it your turn to pass out in the beginning of the thread this time, eh?

>>6917113
>>6917089

Alicia has already said that she's not from around here; she was brought here after being kidnapped, and didn't exactly have free reign to see the town or its outside.

You do start to mention the tattoo you spotted. "Well, when I first found you, I saw you had a--" An incredibly massive shearing sound from behind interrupts you. Whipping your head around, you see a large crack form the road just behind the sign, stretching across the fields to either side of it. The massive scraping and tearing noises are loud enough to hurt your ears, and your foot falls off the gas in astonishment as in the dim light you see the landscape just...

...fall

...away.

>>6917303
Oh, hardly. Just not wanting to cut people off from the decision making process, and then the post took a bit longer to write than intended.

>>6917313
Oh.
Fuck.

Status report? Please?

>>6917338

Gotcha. I think /tg/ is a primarily EST based board, so it's kind of dead right now, it being 2:47 in the morn.

>>6917360
About 50 yards behind the now slowing T-bird, the landscape is just... gone.

KEEP DRIVING

I'd prefer to keep our eyes on the road and foot on the gas pedal. This is the dreamscape - we might run into stranger things yet.

Now that we've officially "left" town, what has changed around us apart from the ground tearing in half?

>>6917522
You turn back around, the crashing sounds still echoing through your head, and hit the gas.

As you add miles to the meter, your adrenaline departs, leaving you feeling utterly wiped. It's not going to be safe, driving like this all night.

>He gave you one power: at random times and intervals, you have a danger sense. Thanks to an imprecise request, it manifests as your panicked right hand pulling a writing utensil out of your pocket and scribbling down details.

That doesn't sound like something I would request. I would request the ability to make people shit on themselves when I pointed at them. Even people on TV. Especially people on TV. Most especially news anchors on TV, reporting that several celebrities have been stricken with an unusual viral outbreak that causes them to shit on themselves at inconvenient times.

>>6917616

Fool, this is obviously Blade Runner land...should've asked for the power to detect replicants flawlessly.

Blast the bitch sitting in the car with us, she's obviously an android from Mars. We'll get promotions!

>>6917567
You start seeing trees by the side of the road, for starters. A few more miles down the road, you see another sign coming up. As you get closer, Alicia reads it out: "Bed and Breakfast, 2 miles."

You yawn. That does sound good right now.

>>6917616
>>That doesn't sound like what I would ask for
Perhaps not. But Danger Sense was narrowly the most wanted power in the first thread. Keep in mind, when the power is active, it is ACTIVE. When it is inactive, you can't will it to work. Yours does sound fun though.

>>6917784

I bet you'll have us fall asleep at the wheel if we don't pull over somewhere. This place is as good as any. Do we have any money?

>>6917897
I'm pretty sure we looted a cash register somewhere...

>>6917936
That is correct.

1 person (I think) for staying at the bed and breakfast. Confirm?

I second. Even if Paul doesn't actually need to sleep within a dream, his companion could use the rest.

>>6917979
You park the car and go inside, slinging your duffel bag over your shoulder. An elderly couple is sitting by a quiet fireplace as you walk in. The woman looks up and smiles as you enter.

"Oh, it's been so long since we've had guests! You'll be staying with us tonight, I presume?" At your affirmation, she looks down at your and Alicia's hands. "Erm, will that be two rooms or just the one for you?"

>>6917979
Third

>>6918051
Look at alicia, what is her reaction to the question?

Look carefully. Do I notice anything unusual about the elderly couple?

>>6918077
She's looking down.

>>6918088
Other than maybe being a bit old to be running a bed and breakfast by themselves, no. Maybe they have someone else helping them out here. Or maybe they were just raised sturdier than people are these days (more likely, you're just overestimating their age. When WAS the last time you went to visit a nursing home?). They seem happy to see you and fairly spry.

Well... just take one room with two separate beds. We'll see how this goes.

>>6918144
"We do have a room upstairs with that setup, yes. The beds will be a tad small, it's normally a children's room. I'll make sure breakfast is extra tasty, though!"

When she names off the room fee, you're glad you only got the one. Who knew old fashioned lodging could be so expensive?

The woman shows you upstairs, to a nice homey room with two beds, and the slightly rustic bathroom across the hall.

"Is there anything else I can do for you, or shall I let you two get some rest?"

>>6918194
Is there an openable window, and is it a viable method of exit in an emergency?

Otherwise, put our stuff in an easy to grab place (in case we need to leave in a hurry) and get some shut eye.

I'm assuming we're both going to need a full nights sleep, otherwise we could try taking turns staying guard.

Since this is our first encounter with other people, it would be wise to ask where we are, get information about the surrounding area. Also ask for a paper and pencil.

Sorry about the deleted post, my tripcode fell off -again-.

>>6918231
There is an openable window. It's old and doesn't open too quickly, though. Definitely too cold to leave open overnight. This house doesn't seem to have central heating.

You dump your duffel bag next to your bed, and adjust the contents so that your Glock is sitting on top. (Unless you want it elsewhere.) As for rest, if you want to be at peak performance tomorrow you will both need sleep.

Alicia immediately nabs the shower.

>>6918264
"Oh, we're out in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town is at least twenty five miles away."

She comes back with a paper and a couple notecards.

I don't trust the old couple. Let's see if Alicia will stay up and keep guard while we sleep for a few hours. Since she's been asleep for a few months, she shouldn't be all that tired, right?

>>6918303
Alrighty.

I place the paper and notecards within easy reach of the bed, along with some kind of writing implement. If there's a lamp of some sort, I move that close by too. I wait for her to get out of the shower.

>>6918366
Why wait? I say we take a peek.

>>6918366
After she gets out of the shower I'd like to try copying the writing on her back onto the paper. With her permission of course.

>>6918347
>>6918366

She comes back, but on hearing your plan her face falls. It's not even been a full day since she was released from captivity, and she's still recovering from the experience. She may have been unconscious for a long time, that's not really proper rest.

You yourself are having trouble staying awake much longer.

>>6918409
"Sure. I couldn't see it for myself in there. Not even a small-sized mirror, can you believe it? ...Can I go to sleep afterward, though? You wouldn't believe how tired I am."

>>6918417
barricade the door then? Those old folks just seem really creepy to me.

>>6918417
I go and have a shower. Chances are she'll be asleep when I get back.
Either way, afterwards I go to sleep and suggest that she do the same, considering what she's been through the last day or so.

>>6918470
>>barricade

If you want to grab something from another room, it shouldn't be a problem. But the only furniture in your room are the two beds and a small bedside cabinet for a lamp.

>>6918484
You copy down the tattoo markings and put the paper into your duffel bag, along with your clothing. The shower might not have much in the way of temperature control, but it feels fantastic to get all the sweat and grime from that town off.

Anything else before you fall asleep in bed?

>>6918488
push a bed in front of the door and double up with Alicia, or sleep on the floor. Or the bathtub. Seriously, those old folks are bad news.

I suggest we place the cabinet in front of the door and set the lamp just barely on the edge, so that when someone disturbs the door the lamp will fall and make a noise.

Go and see if you can find the old couple. Ask for a pot of coffee and a mug or two. Sleep in 2-hour shifts.

>>6918523
I suggest a slight modification.

Push one bed against the door, and sleep in it. Put the other bed away from the window, and make sure it's locked securely anyway. Keep the lamp and writing stuff close at hand regardless, don't want to miss out on danger sense.

>>6918525
>>6918523
>>double up with Alicia
>>two-hour shifts with coffee
Alicia is already asleep, and you're pretty sure she's not willing to do either of these.

The coffee and sleeping on the floor/bathtub plans will leave you fatigued in the morning.

Other plans are viable. I require at least a two-person consensus.

>>6918524
Do this.

>>6918576
Bed in front of door, sleep in it anyway.

Its essentially the same as
>>6918523

>>6918588
what if a hand comes through the door and grabs us?

>>6918595

If something can pass through a solid door, it doesn't matter where in the room we are.

>>6918524
This will not work to monitor the door, as the room door opens outward. However, it will still likely be knocked over if someone enters, being low enough to not be necessarily spotted (especially in the dark).

>>6918601
I meant break through the door. But in this setting phasing through the door actually seems more likely.

>>6918617
alright, we do the lamp thing then.

You set up the cabinet with the lamp on top right by the door, so that anyone entering ought to knock it over and cause a ruckus. You realize that it probably would have been better to mention this trap to Alicia beforehand... but hindsight is 20/20.

As you lay down, sleep overtakes you faster than expected. You really were tired...

(cont.)

>>6918666
We're all gonna die.

As you fall asleep, you hear a voice: "Hello Paul..."

And thus we start recursing.

>>6918666
You're hauled roughly out of sleep by several harsh slaps across the face in rapid succession. You brace against your attacker, only to find that it's your own right hand that's been assaulting you. You pin it to the bed with your left hand. And suddenly you realize that you went to sleep without wearing any pockets.

The room is dark, and you're still groggy. But as you rouse yourself you can hear the faint creak of the door, followed by heavy footsteps and the crash of the lamp onto the floor.

The overhead light suddenly flares on, momentarily blinding you--but as your eyes recover, you see the following scene in front of you.

>>6918738
JESUS CUNTMUNCHING CHRIST!!!!

I assume it's over Alicia. Throw the lamp at it.
Grab Alicia, jump out window.

>>6918787
What?
Stop. Think.
We have a gun. Fire at this thing.

>>6918738
Fuck.

>>6918738
Is it... Is it raping her with elecricity?

>>6918793
Where's the gun? In the duffel. Where's the duffel? Fuck if I know.

>>6918738
Freeze.
Look around my immediate surroundings for anything I could use as a weapon against the ... thing.

Keep watching it, and see if it does anything threatening.

>>6918793
I second this. Shoot the fucker. Also, glance at the doorway, see if there's anything there.

Do not leave the building just yet.

If the gun does nothing, grab alicia and try leave through the doorway, the window will take too long.

Also, shoot with the left hand, let the right hand do some writing.

>>6918798
It's hard to see, but you're pretty sure that's not quite what's happening. There's stray bits of electricity flying all over it in all directions.

>>6918303
>>6918806
The duffel is right next to the bed, assuming we're still in bed, its right next to us.

You reach into the duffel and pull out the Glock in your left hand. At this range hitting an unmoving target isn't too hard even with your left hand. You aim for the center of mass like you were told so long ago, and pull the trigger twice.

Two of your precious rounds fly out and strike the creature's torso. You don't see any blood. It jerks backward slightly from the impacts and swings its head toward the source of the noise.

Alicia is woken up by the loud bangs and falls out of bed.

>>6918866
Shout at Alicia to get away out the door and attempt to follow, firing a few more shots at the thing in hopes of slowing it down.

Time to grab our belongings, grab Alicia and conduct operation GTFO.

>>6918900
Second.

>>6918887
Thirded
Just got done reading your first two threads and I hope I am not too late for the party
So far I am loving everything about this story

>>6918900
>>6918908
>>6918887

You fling the duffel bag over your right shoulder. No way are you leaving the supplies you nearly died for behind.

"Alicia! Out the door! Move!" you shout, sighting on the creature's head and squeezing off a shot. The hoped for result of brains splashing against the walls falls far short, with the creature's head only jerking slightly away for a moment, before it comes toward you with a vengeance.

You stand your ground as it approaches for a steady shot and fire another round as Alicia scurries out the door. You know you're hitting this thing! Time to follow the girl. You fling yourself forward, sliding underneath the thing and popping up to in the hallway. A set of 5 inch claws tears a hunk out of the door frame right behind you.

>>6919004
What do our surroundings look like?

>>6919018

You are in the hallway of an old, well kept second story house. It is dark in the hallway except for light coming from the room. You can see Alicia running in front of you.

Are we able to take something else out of the duffel? If so, take a traffic baton, light it.

>>6919051
To the car!!

Run after Alicia.
Look behind you every now and then to see what the creature is doing.
We might not be able to hurt it from the outside but the inside might be easier. If we see it with its mouth open aim for that.
If any of the above is not available then just keep running to the exit, screaming after Alicia to do the same.

>>6919075
This will slow you down slightly. The bag is over your shoulder, after all. But it's not hard to find a baton shaped object. And someone had the bright idea to put the batteries in them last thread.

>>6919100
Do it.

>>6919084
>>6919085
"Get to the car!"

You both rush toward the stairs and start flying down the stairs. You reach inside the duffel and pull out an LED baton with your right hand, which has gone completely controlled. As you pull out the light, you see the creature enter the hallway and give chase, with great bounding leaps.

This thing is FAST.

Aim for that thing's legs.

>>6919162
This
Are our bullets doing any visible damage to it besides slight irritation?

>>6919181

You shoot at the creature's legs. The round misses, burying itself into the wall. You had a nice easy target before, but that's changed. You try again, hitting this time. A lucky shot, it knocks the creature's knee slightly to the side, throwing it somewhat off balance as it lands a leap. You don't see any bullet holes where you shot the thing.

You've got nine rounds left.

No point firing anymore. Just run.

>>6919233
How strong is the light emitted by the LED baton?
Are we in a lit room at the moment?

I have a feeling this thing has an aversion to strong light.

>>6919233
Run.
Run Very Fast.

You scramble downstairs. Your left foot is doing a fine job of complaining that it's not healed yet, but no time for that now. Alicia has stopped at the front door, looking back for you.

You see the elderly couple sitting still in the easy chairs by the fireplace. They have long gashes across their bodies. The stink of burnt hair fills the room. The husband has a fireplace poker dangling limply from his hand.

You can hear the creature reach the top of the staircase.

>>6919250
Not that strong. It's basically a flashlight wrapped in translucent colored plastic. It's designed for guiding cars at night.

The downstairs is lit faintly by the fireplace embers.

>>6919004
shitscribble

>>6919318
Get in the car!

>>6919318
If passing them doesn't require a detour, grab the poker if possible. Could be used as a weapon.

Regardless, bolt for the car and drive.

>>6919332
That is awesome sir.

>>6919356
No detour required, but you've got a gun and baton in each hand. As I'm sure you don't want to ditch the gun, is dropping/throwing the baton acceptable to replace it with the fireplace poker?

>>6919332
Even if it is just a scribble it is still a very nice picture.
You going to do more? I would love to see you do these every few scenes.

>>6919376
Fire poker sounds like it would be more useful.

>>6919376
Screw it, just go.

though I don't see how it could be too hard to carry both the baton and the stoker in the same hand...

You drop the baton and grab the poker out of the old man's hands, then head for the exit. You hear Alicia starting the T-bird.

Behind you, the creature leaps down the staircase in one swift bound. You put on a burst of speed for the door.

You're three steps out the door when you feel a massive force send you flying forward onto the ground, followed by the thud of the creature landing over you.

>>6919452
Stab for the eyes and try to run.

>>6919452
Put the poker to good use.

Stab it and try to throw it off you, and make a run for it.

>>6919496
At this point I think it is just us two voting, more people might be reading but not saying anything

>>6919386
i'll see what i can do, unless it's actively distorting the atmosphere the author's trying to present.

Well, there is a third now. I am about to go to sleep though. Not sure if I really count.

Also, for the love of God, do this:

>>6919475
>>6919496

Jam the poker under the chin, into the skull. That should slow it down, hopefully.

>>6919567
I love your picture. If you want to make more you'll have naught but compliments from me.

Update coming in 15 seconds.

>>6919475
>>6919496

You roll over onto your back and thrust with your poker toward the creature's eyes. Before you can connect, the creature bats it aside with so much p that maintaining your grip is impossible. The poker goes flying away, and then the creature's limb is shoved against the side of your face, crushing it against the ground. You're pinned flat. Your face burns with pain, and your entire body is starting to feel tingly--the kind you haven't felt since touching that bare wire as a child.

It's getting harder to focus. You hear a roaring, growing louder and louder...

Pray that you don't get tire tracks on your face as Alicia runs you over with the car.

>>6919599
Stay very still

The roaring passes over you, with a wave of heat and wind. In an instant, all the pressure on your body is released, and you hear the sickening crunch of bone and metal. Above you is the Thunderbird, now quite halted.

You roll out from underneath to see the creature crushed between the Thunderbird and the brick wall of the house.

>>6919599
Where the hell is Alicia? Because there's essentially nothing that can be done ourselves at this point.

Lol, I dunno. Start trying to lucid dream your way out of this.

Roll from under the creature.

>>6919658
Oh God, please let the car still run.

>>6919658
Is the car in driving condition?

>>6919674
>>6919696
I think you missed >>6919658. No problem.

You stand up, using the T-bird for support. Alicia is massaging the spot on her forehead that slammed into the classic car's steering wheel. There's a major dent in the hood.

"You alright, Paul?"

>>6919725
Check if the creature is actually dead; if bullets did nothing I somehow think being hit by a car won't do all that much more.

>>6919739
retrieve firepoker, commence beating on downed electric monster.

>>6919752
>>6919725
If this creature is electrified, any possibility that pouring water on it might short it out, or something?

>>6919752
No way, dude. Bullets didn't hurt it at all.
Hop into the T-Bird and drive away!

>>6919767
Speaking of water. If the creature IS in fact dead, pour some water on a tile floor and see if that girl is still underneath it.

>>6919714
>>6919707
>>6919739
>>6919752
"I'll live. Thanks. Does the car still run?" You head over to the creature, retrieving your fireplace poker on the way.

Well, well. It's out of action, but looks to still be kicking. You take out a bit of stress and rage on it.

"Um, Paul... it's not starting."

>>6919752
i wouldn't recomend beating a monster made of electricity with what's probably a pure metal poker.

unless the handle's rubber or something. old timey b&b though, it's probably wooden, if anything

ARGH FUCK I MISSED IT

oh well, better late then never. i'll read the thread, then join the game :/

>>6919776
>>6919739

After spending a few satisfying moments getting that out of your system, you decide to play it safe. One fireplace poker staked through the eye later, and you're pretty sure this thing won't be coming back.

>>6919819
ok, now try the water on the tile floor thing.

>>6919831
Wait until we have a working ride, that's more important.

Waiting for action consensus.

>>6919792
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Okay.

First
>>6919767
Take the jug with water and pour some on the creature. Observe effects, if any.

Send Alica to go search the house and see if the old couple had a car.

>>6919868
Old people don't drive. If they do drive, they only drive gas guzzling sports cars. True story.

>>6919836
This
See if there is anyway you can get the car running again

Check old people corpses for usefull shit.

>>6919868
Pouring water on the creature's body causes the water to steam up.

Alicia takes a knife and checks around for another vehicle, while you look at if there's some way to get the T-bird running. You hear what she found long before you see it, as she drives it out from a shed in the back.

Send Alicia to see if the B&B owners had a car.

Take inventory of everything.

Go back inside and get some sort of tubing, so you can siphon the gas out to the TBird and put it in the gas tanks, assuming there's another vehicle.

>>6919926
ok, we have a car. Now try the water on the floor thing.

>Your goal is to survive, and escape.

fuck you, my goal is to fap so hard that I die from exhaustion with a smile on my lips.

Search the house for other modes of transportation.
Loot the old folk's home. I'm sorry, but that tank of gas fuel has to go to waste just like that.

Perhaps blow up the car to make sure that creature doesn't have a chance at resurrecting.

>>6919916
>>6919927

It was a pretty simple, if nicely kept up, old fashioned house. Doing an inventory of everything will take quite a while (you really want me to type out everything that could be of use?). Far easier for you to seek out specific items.

Like tubing. A garden hose is easily found outside.

While you're trying to figure out what's wrong with the car, wishing you'd paid attention in shop class, the radio turns on.

>>6919926

I agree with the water on the floor thing.
And siphoning gas.
And at least take a look at the old people and see what exactly the thing did to them.

>>6919927
God, are you sure there's enough time for that in case his danger sense goes off again?

>>6919962
>the radio turns on

Bash it in with the firepoker.

>>6919962
sorry i meant take inventory of everything in the tbird, to move to the other car.

>>6919973
thisthisthis

>>6919962
Search for some dry food to sustain us on our journey.
And forget the car. Escape with Alicia.

>>6919973
>>6919992

phuck that, listen to it.
if it sounds ominous then just get in the truck and start driving in the same direction you were heading before.
bad noises over the radio mean gtfo. silent hill much?

>>6919956
>>other transportation
You find a rusted out bike, no other vehicles.

>>6919971
You examine the old couple. It looks like they were (probably painfully) electrocuted repeatedly, then slashed up by long claws. "Shouldn't we bury them?" Alicia asks you.

You have no more luck with the water experiment than the last time. Maybe there's something else to it?

>>6919973
You pull your fire poker out of the creature's eye and walk back to the radio as a voice you've heard before comes out. "wE'll Be seEing yoU, PAUL." It dissolves into static before you have the chance to cut it off. Smash it anyways?

>>6919926
>Pouring water on the creature's body causes the water to steam up.
Anything of note happen to the body? I'm searching for a vulnerability of some sort.

I guess Alicia already found the car keys, or hotwired the car.

This is a bed and breakfast far from a town. Look for a firearm(s) + ammunition, there's bound to be one.

Stock up on food + drink

Do the puddle on the floor thing.

>>6919989
Pretty much everything of use in the T-bird was put in the duffel bag. You suddenly realize that you never checked the trunk.

>You have no more luck with the water experiment than the last time. Maybe there's something else to it?

Try again with the lights out.

>>6920030
well, check the trunk.
And pour some water in the trunk after emptying it.

>>6920030
Oh shit.
Take the Glock, and place your ear against the trunk and check for noises.
If nothing, bang on the trunk a few times and check again.
If nothing, Ready the pistol and open it.

>>6920030

i'm not sure i want to know what's in the trunk.
perhaps we should grab a pen and paper and get close to the trunk to check it out first, then open it?

>>6920022
>>6920002
>>Rations

The old lady needed to make another food run soon, but she's got some basic staples in the kitchen. Flour, sugar, baking powder, etc. And a whole rack of spices, which Alicia is thrilled to see. "I could bake up something nice before we leave. Some real food."

While she's checking over those, you found the cellar. Alright, home canned food. Three boxes full.

A search for firearms finds a... huh. It's a break action rifle. You remember your grandfather having one of those for shooting pigs. Not something meant for combat really, but it's a gun. And 11 rounds, whoo!

>>6920079
How does turning off all the lights affect the water experiment?

God damn I love this quest.

I think we should let Alicia make some 'proper' food, afterall she mentioned she was a mean cook, adn she deserves some enjoyment after the last day.

We should search for a shovel and bury the corpses of the B&B. gain prayer exp, amirite?

>>6920032
>>6920101
Still nothing.

>>6920036
>>6920062
>>6920074
Which variant would you like to do? This might prove interesting.

>>6920102
Barring someone wanting to leave quickly or not do them, these two things will be done.

>>6920117
Do >>6920074 immediately followed by >>6920062, naturally.

>>6920036
This one. We've been driving along for who knows how long and haven't encountered anything bad while in the car, there's no reason to suspect it's dangerous.

Anyone want to tiebreak for the trunk?

Also, other actions? Recovered items are assumed to be loaded into the truck.

I guess check the trunk safely.

>>6920144
I'ma ll for this.. but perhaps we should get looting and burying of bodies and cooking out of the way? maybe?

>>6920212
>>6920146
>>6920144
You crack open the trunk after knocking, pistol at the ready. There's a large plastic bag with something large inside.

>>6920271
investigate.

>>6920283
You poke the bag. It's something solid, kind of squishy. Was-was that something moving in there?

>>6920297
Take the bag out and hold it to the light.

>>6920297

Shoot the bag. I'm taking no chances here.

DON'T SHOOT!


What if it's a puppy?

You put a round into the bag. Alicia comes running, worried that something else might be attacking. You now have 8 rounds remaining.

The bag pulsates after the shot, but no noise comes out.

>>6920333
Er.. let's not do that. Could be something helpful. I'm going to assume not EVERY SINGLE supernatural being on this world is malevolent.

We should open it, but have the pistol good and ready.

>>6920297
It's a body. Human or not, unknown. move to the side of the car and try to talk to it. If it makes any sudden movements, slam the trunk shut and tell Alicia.

>>6920363

You know good and goddamn well that the creepy message said he could see us, and now we have a bag that's moving. Shoot now, regret it later, yes?

>>6920357

Oh great.

Check it.

>>6920357
This should probably be retconned, considering all but one vote was against it.

>>6920357
dump contents onto floor.

>>6920386
regret it later because we wasted a shot we might not need to have wasted.

>>6920412

Totally agree. The consensus is that we didn't shoot... and to be honest, if we were going to, don't waste a round in our semi-automatic weapon, instead, use a rifle shot.

>>6920443
or beat it with the firepoker.

>>6920412
Going to keep going, sorry.

>>6920402
>>6920418
A canine corpse falls into the floor of the trunk. It's pretty obviously dead.

But some of its muscles and organs are still twitching.

>>6920443
>>rifle instead

Okay, that I'll allow. Once.

10 rounds rifle
9 rounds Glock

>>6920355
here

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL. YOU FUCKING BASTARD I TOLD YOU!!!

>>6920465
Still don't know why we shot it
Only one person said to do that while the rest of us wanted to investigate it

>>6920497
Yeah, it was 2/1 in favor of not shooting.

>>6920465
Eh, whatever.

If there's nothing else of note in the trunk, slam it shut and make sure it's locked.

Refill the water jug, get yourselves set up so you can leave whenever Alicia's ready. Hopefully you can make it to the next town fairly soon. After which heading to a library to do some reasearch, such as on whatever creature you just killed and to see if you can find anything on Alicia's "tatoo". Maybe if you can figure out what it resembles it might give you a lead.

YOU... PUPPY KILLER!

See where paranoia gets you?

>>6920507
you just killed a puppy. You can't "Eh, whatever" your way out of this, get out of my /tg/.

>>6920506
>>6920497
Chill out. I'll wait a longer period next time between posts. I've just noticed that I tend to wait for other opinions that never come, when I could be responding to what's been said and keep things moving.

>>6920513
I blame the storyteller on being overly jumpy on writing

>>6920507
The tattoo is a list of something. We can't read it, but she might be able to.

>>6920520
>>6920513
Whoa, whoa. My bad. I should have been more specific. A canine corpse fell out of the bag, yes. It's obviously dead, yes. It's also been dead for a day at the very minimum. And there's still movement in the body.

OH THAT'S JUST FUCKING CRUEL. This is where jumping to conclusions gets you, you trigger happy fucking hick.
;_;

I guess all that's left to do now is bury the corpses INCLUDING THE PUPPY's and load shit into the trukk.

Close the trunk shut and do your best to not look like a myrderous psycho!

>>6920562
Fuck that, we're keeping the corpse to remind us to NEVER AGAIN be so paranoid. NEVER AGAIN /tg/ NEVER AGAIN.

>>6920559
>>6920559
>>6920559
>>6920559ITS BEEN DEAD OVER A DAY AND ITS STILL MOVING?!
SHOOT IT AGAIN!

By the way I am one of the people who was complaining about the dead puppy
This is different

>>6920520
I "whatevered" the OP essentially going "no fuck you I'm not going back.

And where are you getting puppy from? I imagined an attack dog, or someting much larger at least.

>>6920578
DON'T SHOOT.


We have a fucking metal firepoker. Don't go wasting our god damn ammo.

Gentlemen, I think we just took SAN damage.

>>6920583
a large, angry puppy, is still a puppy ;_;

>>6920559

OH SHIT.

Unless it's just flies. Still, fire poker it, see why it's moving (outside of the car).

Once this is done check the T-Bird and see how the engine is going. It won't start but that could be a few things.

>>6920585
>>6920578
Agreed
Changing my answer to beating it with the metal poker
I just noticed my tripcode was off

>>6920559
SHUT THE TRUNK.
NOW

MAKE PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR
TRY TO SINK THE CORPSE INTO THE PUDDLE

>>6920585

Yes, bash it with the poker. If bullets aren't stopping the damn thing moving, get medieval on it's ass.

>>6920618
>>6920585
Got to love how fast it goes from "Poor Puppy" to "KILL THE LIFE OUT OF IT" With just one sentence update

Pretty sure poker bashing is the preferred choice this time around, right? :D

You smash down on the body with the poker. It immediately starts convulsing. Another strike breaks open the skin, and you can see something shiny and purple moving inside.

>>6920640
Don't stop swinging until it stops moving!

inb4 we kill/destroy something even more precious

>>6920640
OH GOD THROW IT IN THE FIREPLACE!

OH fuck! Is there a fire in the fireplace?

>>6920640

Shiny and purple is never good. Keep smacking it with the poker, aiming for the purple thing.

>>6920640
SHUT THAT GODDAMN TRUNK, AND MAKE SURE IT STAYS LOCKED.

MAYBE RIG THE GAS TANK TO EXPLODE

>>6920668
it's not in the trunk! IT'S ON THE FLOOR T_T

>>6920668
>>6920666
>>6920665
>>6920657
>>6920652
KILL THE LIFE OUT OF IT!!!!!!

>>6920668
YES

LIGHT A CIG, THROW IT IN THE GAS TANK, RUN LIKE HELL

>>6920675
see >>6920465
>A canine corpse falls into the FLOOR OF THE TRUNK. It's pretty obviously dead.

>>6920680
I advise you stop this madness before we kill our guide.

>>6920680

I like the sound of this plan. Do we intend to lock the girl in the car when we blow it up?

>>6920680
I vote for killing it in a non-obviously suicidal way.

>>6920700
Oh my, I feel silly now.


PUT THE DOG ON THE FLOOR! I REFUSE TO BE WRONG!

God damn, why is /tg/ so fucking gun nutty tonight? How about we don't blow up the car, possibly injuring ourselves or bringing more harm to us. Let's just pulverize the purple thing, or burn it or whatever, then continue preparing to leave. that is, once we have disposed of bodies and alicia is done making delicious caek.

Almost as many votes for tossing it onto the fire as for beating it more. There are still some embers in the fireplace.

With the next strike, you see the purple thing jerk forward quickly, the rest of the body also twitching rapidly, almost like coils inside of it. The next strike pierces the purple thing, spreading a greenish ooze over the poker tip.

On a part that you haven't hit, the head of a pseudo-worm at least 3/4 an inch in diameter gnaws its way out through the carcass's skin and begins feeling around in the air.

>>6920730
>>6920721
>>6920705
Just gonna argue in favor of my suicidal overkill for a sec.

Did you all forget what it took to kill the other thing that attacked us tonight? What makes you think blunt trauma will kill this thing?

>>6920743

I KNEW IT! SMACK IT! SMACK IT! SMASH THE WORM TO BITS!

>>6920754
Key word there: Suicidal
We are trying to survive!

>>6920759
HIT IT WITH THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD!

>>6920743
Toss on fire, dump some gas on it. Start screaming for Alicia.

Regain composure and check how Alicia is reacting to our obvious lack of sanity.

>>6920784
>>6920759
You hit the emerged worm head. It recoils in obvious pain and then... bares... ohshitthoseareteeth

>>6920803
"That thing was in the trunk this whole time?! Kill it!"

Our hand didn't warn us about danger while that thing was in our trunk. Don't attack it.

>>6920839

Quick question. Have we got a knife, or some other sharp object we can jam into it within reach? Because that poker clearly isn't doing much except pissing it off.

>>6920839
"Really? Kill it?! I thought we could bring it along as a mascot! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM TRYING TO DO?!"
As we are swinging at it

>>6920842

We don't know if we had the Sense Danger power active. It might not have gone off anyway.

>>6920842
Our hand is not activated at all times

>>6920847
Oh, it didn't like the poker at all. And you definitely pierced one with it. But the knives are in the truck. And Alicia put hers down inside.

>>6920851

Seemed pretty reliable so far, and we've been in that car for hours.

The dead puppy was just along for the ride, shooting it made it mad.

>>6920842
It activates randomly. Nothing is really safe even though your hand isn't warning you.

>>6920863
Oh how I wish we had an adamntine sack full of power door knobs.. ah well. In that case, perhaps we should back away and unload a rifle round into it? i'd say point blanc but this bitch could get jumpy.

>>6920869
Your hand has activated in the car before. People just attributed it to the place they were going instead of what was in the car itself.

>>6920863

Yell at Alicia to get a knife from the truck, a big one, and to stab the worm while I try to beat it with the poker, aiming for the teeth to knock them out.

Is the corpse on a small rug? If so, drag rug over to fire, toss dog inside.

It's still in the trunk, right? SHUT THE DAMN TRUNK

None of you seem to realize that this thing probably killed the puppy
It KILLED a PUPPY
Beat it until the fire poker breaks in half

>>6920908
"Really? Kill it?! I thought we could bring it along as a mascot! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM TRYING TO DO?!"
WHACK WHACK CRUNCH
WHACK WHACK
"Maybe if I use something sharper; get me one of the big knives, quick!"
You swing at the emerged head again and... waitwhat. It just dodged. But it doesn't even have eyes! And now it's slitheringupthepokeratyou ohshitohshit howthehellisitso FAST?!

>>6920974

It's on the poker? Let go of the poker, and try to slam the trunk door on it's head when it gets there.

>>6920974
Drop the poker in the trunk and slam it close
Also, I love you for using my line

>>6920974

It's gonna slide up our urethra, it's Paul's worst fear.

>>6920974
THROW POKER IN TRUNK

SLAM TRUNK SHUT

>>6921008
THROW TRUNK IN FIRE

>>6921004
Its every mans worst fear

We need to kill this thing, guys. Shutting it in the trunk is just going to make it mad.

>>6921008
>>6921002
>>6921000

You cast the poker away as though it were a snake. Which is actually pretty close to the truth, in this case. You slam the car door trunk down as the worm launches itself of the poker toward your left arm. The trunk pins it by the end and locks the others inside, but its mouth makes contact with your skin before its velocity is negated. Immediately the teeth go to work as it attempts to bore a hole to wriggle its 3/4 inch self into your arm. With dozens of tiny little bites with at least four separate mandibles, it's like how you'd imagine being bitten by a piranha.

You step back, ripping your arm away from the progressing mouths painfully, as Alicia comes bolting back with the knife she'd set down inside.

Note: Like before, I'm just going to ride out the autosage. One thread per session is good enough for me. Next session will probably start Friday night, otherwise Saturday.

Tie off the arm in case it's poisonous, don't want to take any chances.
Abandon the Thunderbird.

>>6921070

"Stab the fucking thing, I've trapped it with the boot!"

>>6921095
Cut off the arm in case it's poisonous, don't want to take any chances.
Blow up the Thunderbird.

>>6921095
That'll just make us lose the arm anyways to lack of circulation+gangrene.

The thought of a worm eating/burrowing its way into my arm is just sick.

>>6921116
No need to go to THAT extreme.

go inside, check for first aid supplies

>>6921134
You have some in the duffel bag. I just knew I forgot to list something. In the bag are disinfectants, and oversized bandaids.

>>6921132
Throughout the thread I have been becoming slowly less and less rational

Cut a small hole in the gas tank of the thunderbird
Push it into the house
Light end of the gas trail on fire
Make sure everything there dies

>>6921147

Let's be coating that bite in disinfectant. I am not having my arm rot just because some oversized worm had the fucking nerve to bite me.

>>6920730
though not canon, this thought really made me smile

>>6921170
Fukkin saved
You, my good sir, are a genius

>>6921134
>>6921105
>>6921095

You pin the head down with your boot and split the worm open lengthwise with the knife. It lets out a shrill, fading scream as it dies.

You apply disinfectant on the wound, and a large bandaid wrapped in a spare small towel. Until you can think of a better way to know if poison is an issue, you tie off the arm for a little while. Not overly tight as you don't want to lose it, but the tourniquet does also help with reducing the blood flow at the wound.

You get the hell away from the T-bird.

>>6921170
That made me laugh. Close enough, she was cooking when this all started. Also, you're awesome.

we should try and take care of our wounds, like the broken foot, for example, as best we can before heading out. who knows when we'll next get the chance to not be running from something or other

>>6921213

Broken foot? When did that happen?

>>6921213
also, maybe one of the elderly people had a cane somewhere. we could definitely use that

>>6921237
foot/leg.. did you even read the other threads? it happened when we lept off the balcony onto the hospital's second floor and alicia foiled our attempts of a safe landing.

>>6921237
First thread
Second looking for a cane

>>6921213
While Alicia finishes cooking, you take some time to make as best a splint possible given the circumstances. You still really should have a doctor look at that.

There's still bodies to bury, but food's ready and--whoa. When she said she was a mean cook, that was an understatement. You've had Thanksgiving meals that were worse off than this, with more to cook from.

>>6921241
You find not one, but two. One's far too short, but the other can get the job done (adding about half an inch to the bottom would be nice though)

>>6921237
First session.

>>6921267
I did suggest like, 3 times now, we should bury or perhaps now that i think of it, cremate the corpses.

prayer exp pls?

>>6921267
Check how much gas is in the truck you found
If not much use the garden hose to siphon gas from the Tbird into it

>>6921287

I agree. Bury what we can.

>>6921315
second this. also grab anything from the house we could need, like perhaps extra clothes, assuming they aren't dated and gay as hell, shoes, elements of food, matches, aerosoles, lighters, BOOZE (moltov cocktails guys) every old couple has some brandy or scotch or some shit.

anything else anyone can think of?

>>6921287
Other things took priority. Like food. But now you dig. You really don't have the right fire for a proper cremation.

And dug, without incident. You feel good about doing that, even if it will never increase your fighting abilities. It's approaching late morning. Alicia suggests rotating naps with one person on watch to make up for the interrupted sleep. Then getting showered and gone by noon.

>>6921315
There are a few empty glass bottles that you can siphon into to take on the truck. That big thing will probably not be as fuel efficient as the T-bird.

>>6921287
Definitely cremate the corpses after our brief encounter with that death worm. That happened to be hiding in that puppy's corpse.

Come to think of it, is it a parasite of sorts that lives inside a living being until the host (that puppy) dies, or instant excruciating death once it burrows into you... there might be more of them out there.

If we're digging, that means we've got shovels. We're taking those with us. I'll miss the poker, but the shovel will make a good replacement.

>>6921334
Acquired:
Carpetbag suitcase
Mechanics' Coveralls x2
Boots
Matchbook x4
High proof whiskey bottle x3

>>6920974
By the way guys
We totally just got away with mouthing off to her without any repercussions.
I feel like that was worth a bite on the arm

>>6921377
Acquired:
Shovels x3

>>6921356
>>there might be more of them out there.
That's right, there just might be...

>>6921409
Oh god. What dreadful idea did I just give him...

Anything else before you depart? It's where I plan to end the session.

>>6921462
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this
Not many people would stay on /tg/ for nine hours to be a writefag in a thread

>>6921488
You're welcome. I have a lot of fun doing this, or I wouldn't continue. That other people are having fun and being entertained makes my day.

Besides, the other sessions were longer, if I'm remembering right.

>>6921488
Agreed. And believe me, you have some loyal followers, I should know after refreshing /tg/ every hour yesterday in the hopes I'd see the next installment, haha.

Thanks again for another great session, I'll upload my my interpretation of paul and alicia next time, and I can't wait!!

Oh wait.. lets check the trunk/glove compartement of this new car.

>>6921522
inb4 more worms

>>6921522
>>I should know after refreshing /tg/ every hour yesterday
Sorry. I was wiped yesterday.
>>Thanks again for another great session, I'll upload my my interpretation of paul and alicia next time, and I can't wait!!
Thanks for joining it, and I'm looking forward to it.

>>Oh wait.. lets check the trunk/glove compartment of this new car.
Ack, you hit on part of my session closing post I'm working on. Anything else before you two jump in the truck and leave?

>It's approaching late morning. Alicia suggests rotating naps with one person on watch to make up for the interrupted sleep. Then getting showered and gone by noon.

sounds good, do this. also make sure to get gas from the other car.

Find a tarp/cover for the pickup bed.

if we've got a pickup now, i'd recomend seeing if there's a tool chest of some kind from the shed and throwing that in the back.

could come in handy

>>6921563
>>6921582
>>6921600

You whisk about gathering last minute items: a tarp (unfortunately, a little moth eaten), a basic toolkit (while not enough room for as much as you would like, you've got the essentials like a hammer, a few screwdrivers, pliers, allen wrench, some nails, and so on), and a can of extra gas from the T-bird. The last one takes a bit of willpower to go back to, but desperate times call for desperate measures. You're still trying to wash out the taste of gas from your mouth after siphoning it off. Nobody ever mentioned that it needed some skill.

The sleep passes uneventfully, making up for the interrupted night. The only difference is the clouds rolling in. Final preparations are made, and you head out to the truck.

Everything in the truck is ready to go. You take the wheel, and realize that again you forgot to check an area of a vehicle before using it. You're reaching toward the truck's glove box when you notice your hand. Something bad this way comes.

Scanning around the truck, you don't see anything. Until you look up, and notice something starkly obvious against the sepia sky. Those ranks of clouds tearing across the heavens... they aren't sepia. And they don't look like harbingers of hope.

End session 3

Next session is planned for this Friday or Saturday evening, with probable beginning time 11-2 am central, schedule permitting.
