You: “Actually I was hoping to find someplace to stay a little longer.”

Turtle: “WELL AIN’T THAT A PEACH!! We ain’t had newcomers in a MICRO-WAVE MINUTE!”

You decide that the Big Old House is the best lead for the moment, and your best shot at getting a free bed for the night. The café probably doesn’t have beds.

That was rather quick. Tell her: This is lovely, but before you both get swept further, you don't want to misrepresent yourself. You should really make it clear that there's a reason you mentioned the job first. You were hoping to find something before the end of the day, so that an advance could hopefully fund your staying somewhere.

You could say: This is such a nice inn, you're quite sure you don't have enough money right now to be able to afford staying here, though does seem exactly what a weary traveler needs. You could offer to owe her, and pay once you do have the funds in a few days or so, but of course she'd be in her rights not to trust the words of a stranger. Alternately, if she had any needs you could see to, either, you'd be happy to pay for lodging that way as well.

Ramona: “Please, call me Mona.”

You: “I’m truly appreciative Mona, but see, I need a job if I want to make a lasting living here in town.”

Ramona: “Strong work ethic, I see. You know, you remind me of my husband in that way. Such an honest man. I could use someone to help with cleaning. You know, like a… like a…”

You: “A maid.”

Ramona: “Well, maybe not in such a word, but yes.”

You give Ramona a sly grin.

You: “Are you sure there’s nothing else I could offer in exchange for staying the night?”

Ramona: “Other than that, well… it may surprise you, but the Plath House is rather strained for visitors. It reflects on the poor state of tourism in Coxwette. If we could get someone to bring us at least one new visitor. After you, of course. I know it’s not much, and you’re probably looking at other offers in town.”

She’s right - there probably are other jobs available in town. You consider the offer carefully.

No. 692587 ID: 86ff22

On the one hand, there are probably better jobs, but on the other, you'd be more likely to get those jobs if you were able to rest for a night and get cleaned up.

I'd say turn down a long-term position for now, just until you look to see if there's anything that would suit you better. But in exchange for a bed and a washbasin, you'd be happy to spend your evenings helping her with anything that a strapping young man would be especially useful for. Like... moving furniture! Or chopping firewood. Or is that an anachronism? She has a fireplace right there behind you, you must be able to do that.

Say, Charlie, if we're going to look for work, maybe you should think for a moment on what your particular talents are?

Ramona: “Oh… yes, of course. I will let you know if there is anything you can help with tonight. My husband, ah… yes, well. He… if I was a better wife he would still be here. He left when our daughter was born. I’d… really rather not…”

That was smooth as fuck, and your momentary panic is supplanted by a rush of testosterone. Both of them? Interesting…

The soup tastes like dishwater with newspaper left in to soak out the ink, then a shovel full of salt and pepper added. There might be what you think is chicken floating in the godawful broth, but it may also be pieces of bread or possibly old cheese. Breaking open the chunks reveals pockets of crumbly dreck somehow completely untouched by the liquid. It smells decent, which only serves to betray the mouth to a nasty surprise.

You ask her what is in it.

Ramona: “Oh, hm, I used the broth from some bones and cobs I had kept frozen since last year’s Cornfest. I boiled in some capers and celery leaves and then added carrots, sugar, salt, and pepper. Oh, and I also used some oil from the fryer, but there’s no actual potato in it, I don’t think.”

Like everything else in this town, except for maybe the Plath House, it’s a miserably quaint and charming little building.

Not as good as boosting banks, but not bad for a fast job.

You'd only be working the bakery hours, too. You'd make a delivery round around town, what, twice? Once for breakfast and once for lunch. Plenty of time in the evenings. And you can likely get a discount on buying items yourself, which you can spread around for good will.

Cat lady: “Don’t sweat it. You gotta learn the ropes somehow, right? Just make sure these things are still fresh when you get to me next time! I’m Marcie’s biggest customer, after all. The names Penny, and I own this place.”

You: “It’s a pleasure, Penny.”

Penny: “Say, I don’t suppose you could help me out with something. You’re new in town, so you’ve probably got the clean slate I need.”

Penny lowers her voice.

Penny: “I’m looking for a way to spice up business, so I want to start serving drinks here at the café. Coxwette County is a dry county, so it ain’t exactly easy to get, honey. Think you could help me out?”

If we ever do run into some large amounts of alcohol for her to sell, bring it in slowly. It'd be pretty obvious if all of a sudden a bunch of people started getting drunk around a town like this that someone's selling it. Bring up the idea of selling to them in a back room or something as well.

You’ll get back to Penny on that one. The idea of breaking the prohibition intrigues and arouses you, but finding the means to do it will require some premeditation.

You ride over to the school… house. It is a small building with two floors and numerous large, simple windows. You’ve never seen a school so small, and frankly didn’t think they still existed. You get off your ladies’ fixed-gear pannier bicycle and take your greasy pastry bag in with you.

Ostrich: “Oh, hello there stranger!”

[ostrich strumming]

Ostrich: “Are those the tasty macaroons?”

You: “Yes’m, they are. You… give your students macaroons?”

She bends over with laughter.

Ostrich: “Lord no. Those are for me, to go with my morning coffee. I don’t think I’ve seen you around! It’s not often-”

You are wholeheartedly opposed to the concept of monogamy! You’ll listen to her sing, though.

You: “Can you play me a song?”

Miss Angela: “Did you say Angel? Eee he he he he. Ooh, no one ever wants to hear!”

She begins to play and sing some dumb song and you zone out about halfway through. When you’re sure it’s over, you clap a few times to make her happy.

Miss Angela: “Did you like it?”

You: “Oh, definitely. Like an angel.”

Miss Angela: “Ooo hoo hoo. Hehehe, you don’t mean that…”

A love letter isn't likely to have anything worthwhile. If you can duck in somewhere unseen on your way back, you can check out the incoming letters.

Seems easy enough. You can just tell them that someone in town mentioned someone dying in the house, and that you're asking out of curiosity. If they seem reluctant, you can press a little by saying you just wanted to be sure you're not sleeping in the room where she died or something. She jumped from the roof, but appearing like you don't know that will fit the story better.

Anyway, when are you going back? Well, what time is it now? Seems like the post office and bakery closed up just a while ago, so it must be like, six? You're probably going back soon enough. The only thing we have currently on the agenda to maybe do before turning in is scout about for a source of booze. And maybe check out the warehouse? Not been there, yet.

Hmm... I don't know if both of them would come up for that, though. Probably only one of them would show you your room. Most likely Ramona. But, perhaps if you pretended to be quietly embarrassed or uncomfortable with Sally's garb, it would persuade her to also go upstairs to change?

You grab Naz and run for the door. If you are being pranked, someone is chasing you with an axe!

You round the corner outside the Plath House courtyard, and the specter does not pursue. The commotion does not seem to have attracted the police, thanks to the Plath House being atop a hill.

Congratulate all of them on a great prank. Assure them they did well, you've just had a life that made sure you know how to look at things from multiple angles, as well as how to react quick but keep thinking while you do.

Really, that was impressive. You know, Charlie, I'm sure you do, the skillset for pulling a good prank is the same as for, ah, more profitable pursuits. Keep these three (or at least, Sally and Naz) in mind for potential... helpers. They might take a little convincing, but you never know.

Half awake, you grab a pillow and throw it over your lap.

Ramona: “Dream. I meant dream.”

You: “Sorry, I just… it happens, you know…”

Ramona: “It’s… it’s ok!”

Ramona: “Muffin! It’s banana nuts.”

Ramona: “Banana nut.”

You: “Did you make it?”

Ramona: “Yes, I… I got up early to make it.”

You are suddenly not hungry.

>TRY IT

You take a bite of the muffin. The outside is ok, but immediately below the slightly baked outer layer is a layer of clumped flour and chunks of cool butter. The center is somehow still battery and tastes of eggs and cinnamon.

The bacon is burnt to a crisp.

The coffee is thick as tar and twice as bitter.

The eggs are the texture of a 1980s action figure’s vinyl cape.

You: “Ramona, thank you again. You’ve been so kind since I got here. It’s really good.”

Ramona: “Thank you. I’m so glad you like it… it really makes me feel good.”

As disgusting as the food is, your thanks are sincere. You swallow it down, turning away to hide your face, then calm yourself with a breath of morning air. It’s not as bad as the soup.

You look at her for a little bit.

... Assuming the morning light isn't "gentle" because it's raining or something. Seemed like good weather yesterday and last night, though.

Also if she came to the bakery with you, and your lateness was mentioned, Ramona would probably go "oh that's my fault" and you'd be off the hook.

Well, it's understandable. She's from a small community that is still sorta traditional with a serious deficit of men and no local would touch a divorced or an abandoned woman in the way Chuck is currently doing.

The way how easily she accepted the proposition was indicative of it. She has an emotional need for a man and she's willing to sacrifice her own sense of propriety to confirm her own womanhood.

After all that bullshit, what I'm trying to say is that she needs someone to prove to her that she's still desirable. And by that I mean to give her the D.

No. 696026 ID: 5ad4a7

We've been told we can't speak to the mayor without an appointment anyway.

Unfortunately all the other destinations are an equal distance away from our current location... Go to the school next, sure. Can you cut between the library and cafe?

I think the optimal path would have been Cityhall-Library-cafe-school-shoppe-post office-police, as the police station is the furthest away from any other destination and going there last means we don't have to backtrack from it.

Full of strange curiosity, you go to the schoolhouse. Today it’s full of noisy kids.

Miss Angela: “Oh, it’s Mister Chuck!”

You: “Good morning Angela. One of your kids… appears to be eating a crayon.”

Miss Angela: “As they will. Go ahead and drop the acaroon-mays in my esk-day. Thank you!”

You set down the store’s order, which is second only to the café’s in size.

Ellen: “Thanks. Have a nice day, I guess.”

Ellen: “…wait, Marcie stopped by this morning and asked if we have apples.”

You: “And…?”

Ellen: “We don’t have apples.”

You don’t know any anime-related jokes, and you’ve never been much of a nerd. Maybe you’ll have to learn nerd after you’re done with French. Selma will not reveal the name of the blog, so maybe you’ll have to get it from Naz later.

You go to the front desk to get your library card from Sally. She takes inventory of the books going out to the schoolhouse.

Sally: “Wow, that’s so neat that you are learning French!”

You: “Oh, heh… the language of love, right?”

Sally giggles. You try not to think of how you dry humped her mother all morning.

Sally: “Ok, you’re all ready to go! Your book is due back in two weeks, and these ones are on lend to the schoolhouse until next year.”

Naz: “She wants a computer there?”

You: “Yeah, can you do that?”

Well, that'll make persuading her a little more effort. Back off for now and you can consider a longer-term strategy.

Say good for her, and make a crack about how she must need to go out of town for someone to "correspond" with, given the imbalances around here. Maybe it'd persuade her to mention something about why. This town and it's gosh-darn mysteries. If you want to start up with the undercutting already, you could say you're glad she has someone to help her relieve tension. Most likely she doesn't actually get that help from said correspondent, which will give her some doubts and maybe open her up to looking at you for it. Bit of a dick move, though, bro. At least try find out who it would be that you're stealing her away from - if for nothing else, then just in case it turns out to be some seven foot tall biker who'll want to introduce you to the lower end of your own spine.

I was going to suggest offering her a backrub to alleviate tension, but she'll be too on guard for implications in that, now.

Considering she's like twice your mass and it looks like mostly muscle, I hope you do know how to dance, boy.

You know I only just noticed. In silhouette out ears look a bit like horns. Between that and the toothy grin we've got I am feeling a deal with the devil vibe from this image.

You dance with Rachel. She gets frustrated when you try to talk to her, but she takes to dancing happily. She handles a little rougher than you’re used to, but for her size, she’s actually not half bad.There isn’t any music, but the scuffs of both of your shoes against the pavement provides enough rhythm.

When you finish, Rachel giggles. Her voice is a husky alto, and she does not exactly ooze femininity, but it still manages to be a little bit charming.

This gives me an idea... When we see Ramona again we should suggest a karaoke competition. This will maybe rake in people to come to the inn AND everyone gets to have a swell time.

I think it may be a good idea on focusing on the quest where we improve Plath house's cooking before we try attracting guests who may not be willing to hide how bad it is.

For now let's give her a fond farewell, there has to be some in the early parts of the book you picked up, and then we can go back and see about Lorraine.

You have never failed to communicate in the world’s most universal language: pelvic thrusting. You’re not really ready to start speaking French yet, though.

You: “That was a lot of fun. Did you have fun?”

Rachel: “Wi. Yes… they make fun of me to dance because I am… er, do you say big?”

Rachel: “Do not tell a word about this.”

You: “My lips are sealed.”

She looks at you, her mouth hanging open a bit.

You: “Meaning I won’t tell anyone. See, shut. Mouth closed.”

Rachel: “Yes. Thank you… thank you… eu… about not laughin-guh.”

You: “Oh, I wanted to ask: do you have any bolt cutters that I could use?”

Rachel: “Bult coot-air? Ssssorry, I don’t know what is…”

Something that can cut chains. Or fences.
Cut thick metal.

You from this town, or passing through?

You make various attempts to describe and mime the tool that you are looking for.

You: “You know… to cut a chain? Or a fence?”

Rachel: “Ah… oh… coupe-boulons… eh… yes. No, no. You can’t have those. Why?”
>>
No. 696828 ID: f56aab

You know cutting the chain is probably a bad idea anyway. People might notice when the chain closing the gate is shut. What I think we may need is just a really thick rug to throw over the fence to cover the barbed wire. That way we can just climb the fence, and no evidence will be left that someone got past the fence.

Perhaps we should actually go to the warehouse itself and look around. Maybe there are ways in that you'll be able to see that the innocent, uninterested locals wouldn't think of.
>>
No. 696830 ID: 514581

Say you found a really old safe and you were curious about what's inside. But you haven't even asked the owner if you could, it was just a thought for the chance she'd say yes. No point bothering to ask her if there'd be no way to open it.

You: “Well, between you and me, I was thinking about checking out that old warehouse…”

Rachel: “Do you know whose job eet ees to keep people out of de warehouse?”

You: “Uh, who?”

It takes a moment before you realize that you have pulled a Marcie.

You: “Oooh. OH.”

Its just everyone was acting like it was some big huge horrible secret. It got me all worked up wanting to know what was going on.

Anyways if you ever need a dance partner again let me know. I had a good time.

Rachel: “Eh… secret? What do you say…”

You: “A conspiracy? A… oh, never mind.”

Rachel: “Mwe- beh… sorry, I… I’m so zzztupid. I cannot talk.”

You: “No, no. You’re not. You speak better English than I will ever speak French.”

Rachel: “Kreyòl ayisyen… my French is… bad. I’m so ssstupid. Please-”

You: “I had a good time dancing with you. Just tell me if you even want to dance with me again.”

You smile and touch her arm. She pulls away and folds her arms over her chest.

Rachel: “Thank you. Will.”

You don’t think that asking her if she has a penis is wise, though you have heard the rumors. You bid Rachel farewell and let her go on with her business.

And you’ve never been in bed with a hyena. Interesting prospect. You’re sick of walking around town, though, so you go back to the Plath House. Hm, it seems Ramona forgot to give you a key to the front door. You knock.
