You walk down the hall to the room you saw Sophie in the night before, and knock on the door.

Sophie: "Come in."

She is standing near the bed, apparently in the process of cleaning the place up. She sighs deeply, and you can hear the anxiety rattling her chest.

Sophie: "You are injured."

Sophie crooks over and inspects the cuts on your stomach, mumbling to herself in half-English. She reaches out to touch one of the cuts, and you flinch.

Sophie: "Shallow linear incisions..."

Sophie: "No signs of infection."

She reaches into her bag, taking out a thermometer.

Sophie: "Open."

You oblige, and she places it under your tongue. Sophie walks behind you, touching one of your back wounds.

Sophie: "Oh..."

You: "What?"

Sophie: "More back puncture. Like before. I don't see injury like this..."

Sophie: "Not like bullet wounds. No shrapnel, no objects."

Sophie: "How this happen?"

You: "You have to see it to believe it. The same monsters that hurt Layla did this."

Sophie: "Layla haves sword wound. Blade cuts? Familiar to me. But this."

Sophie: "This like cat bite. Needs fast treatment before infection comes."

She reaches into the bag you brought from the warehouse and withdraws a couple of vials, followed by some fresh syringes from her bag.

Sophie: "No stitches needed. I'm going to give you..."

Sophie: "Penicillin and streptomycin. Injection daily until healing is underway."

You: "Wait, injection?"

Sophie: "I don't understand"

Sophie: "Soldiers charge in to battle, get ambush, shot, mortar, landmines, and they laugh"

Sophie: "and they afraid of needle."

She shakes her head, then gives your arm a gentle pat and prompts you to stand up again.

So ask her if she's feeling okay. Rough night? Need any help relaxing?

Consider telling her about Susanna being immortal but using that fact to tank the reverends all night so she's gonna show up covered in blood, maybe. Also that the wounds on your back are from some kind of organic needle the revs stick you with and probably pump holy water into you in some super-ignorant attempt at purifying you.

There's a couple of models of monster, so they might not all have natural weapons, but the one that's taken a fancy to you has a bunch of needle-tipped tentacles coming out of his back - likely related to something he did in life.

Now it's Sophie's turn for a checkup. No jabbing involved - unless she asks nicely for it.

Given there's a good chance she's having a flashback, and that we're pretty sure no one in town was hurt too badly, this might not be the most tactful way to put it.

I vote just being quiet for now, instead: let's just have a moment to calm down. If she wants to talk about it, or thinks there's something we should know, she'll bring it up.

Triage is over, everybody is alive, everybody is stable.
Most injuries are minor, and we're all recovering. There's work, but the most stressful part is over.

We need more medicine? Ok, write up an emergency order for what we need, and we'll get that sent.
We're not cut-off from supplies, they just might take a few days to get here.
A run to the train station is quick and safe, not like running around the whole damn town looking for people. We can do that without anybody getting hurt.
So all you need to do there is write up the order, and the rest of us will get you what you need.

Closed space? Yes, but it's a big space. There's still empty rooms here, so we're not exactly in cramped quarters. There's also an underground tunnel system going to the basement that they enemy may not know about. I'm going to look into that, but that's on me, not you.

Enemies surrounding? Yes, but they can't get in. They're magic bullshit, and we have magic bullshit to keep them out. It's a siege, but we have the advantage.
That's also not your job; that's Susanna's job.

I've been in worse situations before. Not MUCH worse, mind you, but worse. We're going to get through this."

Hold steady. Doctors see a lot of shit, and they usually have to bottle it up. And this one's been to a bad war, so she's probably experiencing some old trauma on top of her current stress. Help her through it.

"Then nothing. You're fine, and everyone's hero. You're doing good. A little cry isn't ruining anything. Nobody's panicking - if most folks saw you now they'd just be awkward and a little sad, because you're a great person and the town loves you for what you've done for them and if they were here they'd want you to know that it's not on you to save us all, but thank you and bless you for trying. You're good people."

Give her a little time.

"I'm not the best person to say this - but you're not alone in this. If us layfolks can do anything to help, then tell us. If it's a moment of space - if it's a helping hand, a wannabe nurse to mentor, a shoulder to cry on, an asshole to rant at, anything - there's folks out there who'd jump at helping you, in whatever way they can. Heck, might be good for a few folks to get a little first-aid mentoring in our downtime - gives both them and you something else to think about. But, uh, don't feel like you gotta. Just do it if you feel you're up to it, and you think it might offload that magnificent sense o' responsibility of yours a little. Not suggesting you pile stress on stress here. Just... strong means a lot of things. Sometimes strong is knowing you're just one person and you can't possibly deal with all the shit that's going on alone."

Consider the wisdom of your friend becoming a helping hand/nurse to the doc.

Then make sure you're not pushing yourself too hard, heading for a burn-out. Drink plenty of water, catch up on sleep when the situation's relatively stable. Recruit some nurses, by which I mean figure out who else around here has enough first aid training or just plain common sense that you can delegate some of the medical work to them.

>Enemies surrounding
We know a lot about the enemy. There's only three of 'em, real easy to distract or lure into ambushes, they haven't got guns, wouldn't know how to use 'em if they did, and they fall down just fine when they get hit. Only tricky part is getting them to stay down. Most important is they haven't actually got us properly surrounded. You need more drugs, or other supplies? Write up a shopping list, I'll run over to the train station and it'll all come in with the next load of mail.

You: "You've been putting up with a lot lately, but everything's fine now."

You: "It's healthy to vent"

Seriously though, Chuck, the upper class fancies aren't your style. Rogueish workman, that's the ticket.

Many fae can't abide the sun and only dance in the moonlight. Vampires, Dullahan, and others were all original in fae classification before terminology like 'undead' was added. That's why Drac was originally killed with a Bowie knife (and a Kuri - cold iron), not a wooden stake.

You urge Sally to invite Susanna in, and she nervously walks toward the door. Geoff heads upstairs to get supplies for Susanna and to summon Ramona. Sally just stands there and stares at the mayor for a bit.

Sally:

Susanna leans against the door frame, then extends her arm inside. Her hand immediately goes limp as it passes over the threshold, then falls back down to her side.

Sally should go tell Ramona that Susanna's been fighting monsters all night and she needs to get into the mansion for shelter. If Ramona can't let her in while she's not in earshot then she could try writing a note.

Potential problem: Ramona might not be able to let her in unless it's in person. If that's the case, we don't want anyone to try and drag her out of bed. You could help Susanna up to her bedroom window and let her in that way. You might need to pull her up with a rope.

Another potential problem is that Ramona might not want to let her in because of distrust, but we really need to all work together now. If that's the case, Chuck could say that he'll stay outside to help her until Ramona lets her in the house, because I don't think he wants either of them getting hurt any more.

Being the focus of positive attention from a large group of people generally makes people feel either awkward or happy or both, and either way being in that spot together should help break the ice between them a bit.

Let's not sit down to the big problem-solving group debate quite yet, Susanna needs time to rest. After a moment, take Ramona aside, ask her if she's sure she's feeling alright, then toss a few ideas back and forth with her. Susanna has issues and is generally hard to get through to, so make it easier on yourself by practicing what you're going to say.

The postal workers get vans to deliver mail in. The whole network of post offices mean you can stick a letter into a first class envelope on one side of the country and be sure it'll cross 3,000 miles of rail, road, and air to get to the other side within a week.

Has Chuck ever been to the ocean? He should talk about the ocean if he has.

Cities have so many people that they build skyscrapers just so there's enough room for everyone to live. Dozens of families per floor, dozens of floors, everyone living on top of each other. Buildings that stretch into the sky, clad in metal and glass, man-made canyons that funnel the wind. Underground networks of tunnels for light rail trains, so that people can get where they need to go.

Between the cities there's vast stretches of rural areas, kind of like Coxwette. Some parts are even more lonely. There's places a person can go and be the only thinking thing for as far as the eye can see.

They're pretty close, actually, especially when the recipient of the boasts has just been given a hint of you not being that great of a person. Nothing Julia may have hinted would have anything to do with the concept of "the best".

This is not a good time for putting ourselves on a pedestal: best case scenario we'll put her off enough to not score, worst case scenario we'll open a real big can of worms on the subject of old sins and other bullshit.

Its also still not pedantic, a general boast is not, in fact, a claim of moral upstanding nature. Theyre not close. You are reaching as hard as you can to try to frame it incorrectly entirely out of your insistence that the quest is no longer allowed to have fun or lewd elements.

See, here's what I had in mind.

Chuck actually shows some humility. Gains from Rita sympathy and respect rather than awe - which would last longer. From there conversation could naturally drift towards last night's events, and to what kind of a fuck-up Julia is: it'd bring us closure, catharsis, and possibly an actual friend rather than just a quick fling.

There are literally no drawbacks with this course of action. Well, unless you actually like Julia, but who in their right minds would?

Tell Rita she should leave Coxwette, at least for a time if she's got the wander bug. But only as soon as the curse is lifted. Just be straight about her with the curse, that if she tries to leave right now, she'll end up like one of the reverends probably. Maybe not as horrible or people killing, but nontheless a zombie walking endless fields for eternity. That's probably what happened to Sally's Dad after all.

Just because her brother's here doesn't mean she's chained to this place. Families, you know, move to far away places and split apart by necessity all the time. You may love your brother but that's not going to change here or in Timbuktu. You barely talk to each other, so shit, girl, just ring him up on the telephone occasionally and it'll be no different than now.

If you're afraid of going away alone, then take someone else who has the wanderbug with you.

You let Rita have a puppin rest on the couch and find Rachel and Lisa. After pulling Lisa away from the small congregation in the den, you find Rachel sitting on the floor against the wall. She looks up slowly and takes a sip of black coffee.

Rachel: "Hello."

Her voice makes you shiver. You haven't really heard her relaxed, indoor voice because you don't think you've ever seen her sit down for a break like this. At least not for a while.

You: "How are you feeling?"

Lisa starts to translate your question, but Rachel cuts her off.

Lisa: "U-uh"

Lisa: "She's speaking creole"

Lisa: "Eh... Rachel? En français s'il vous plaît?"

Rachel replies in something that sounds more like French.

Lisa: "She says..."

Lisa: "She feels... good? Fine? She had a headache and strong thirst this morning, and-"

Lisa listens. Rachel gestures toward her forehead as she speaks.

Lisa: "Oh! She doesn't... remember last night."

Lisa: "She... needs to... check on... the warehouse."

Rachel nods.

You: "It's not safe to go out there now."

Rachel: "I know."

Rachel looks directly at you, her voice stern.

You: "Do you remember anything about a rabbit woman in the warehouse?"

Lisa translates.

Rachel: "No."

Maybe that's for the best. For the record, you haven't had breakfast.

Also, Marcie is making puns? The world really is upside down now. Or perhaps baking is the only way she can truly express herself. Is this the way into her heart? Make a personal note to bake with her later. Show her how to form genitals out of a dough. Maybe that would send her a hint.

Ramona's feeling better, Marcie's feeling better, somehow there's friggin' Pup Cakes and everyone is ALIVE, despite all the bullshit that's gone down. Just... realize it. Yesterday, you didn't fuck up. You literally saved lives, at least one of them incredibly important to you.

And today, Marcie did good. She did right. Seeing her silly cakes easing someone else's pain and worries would be the sweetest balm anyone could offer her right now. It's what she knows, and what she can do, so she's doing it. So man up, shove away the pain and give her a thumbs-up and a wink - nothing awkward, just... be nice. Approve of what she just did for Ramona's sake. Approve of her terrible gosh-darn pun. Because there's so much goddamn strength in both.

Then give him the bad news. Julia's here too but you can't get up to any shady business because there's no way out of town. The road literally goes on forever. He's gonna have to go legit, at least until you figure out some way of finding a way out. Also ask him to maybe keep his past dealings with you on the down-low? Ask him what the cops saw him actually doing and when. We can come up with a cover story for him that doesn't involve him being a career criminal.

Best not to tell him anything yet. Just get info outta him. Then, tell him we'll "pull some strings and get you outta there. Might take a while, though."

That should hopefully convince him to sit tight and not try anything. And heck, maybe we'll even be able to make good on the promise, later.

If he asks, be right-up front. Nobody can leave. He's probably figured out something is wrong already given the relocation.

But don't give out more information than he asks for.

Let him cool his heels for now. Last thing we need is for him to try to kill Julia in the middle of all this. Don't let him know Julia's here, he'll just make more trouble.

Not sure it's a great idea to let Julia know he's here either. She's likely to do something equally stupid and endanger the house. Just make sure they don't come in contact with each other. We should let Ramona and Susanna know, they should be able to help keep the peace and we can trust them not to panic.

Keep the story simple: Jimmy was lost in the woods, stumbled into town in the middle of the zombie crisis, couldn't find anybody, and stole food and water from her store because he needed it and there was nobody around to ask for help. He was in a really bad situation, he wants to apologize.

Go back to the doctor zone and see what's what, there.

Four reasons: 1) Layla is probably still there she needs to know that it's ok Jimmy's out, plus you and Jimmy do probably need just a little more encouragement to keep things lawful for the immediate future, and there's nothing in this town that'll make a couple of scofflaws considerate of their scoffing habits like another peek at that fine policebutt.
2) It'll help make sure Jimmy's aware how serious this is for everyone and what kind of attitude everyone's in.
3) Susanna is probably there, and you can show Jimmy what she looks like so that he's fully aware of who the authorities in town are and who to watch what he's saying around the most, that plus general information giving is a favour you can be doing him to further establish your position as his buddy around here.
4) Now that it's out to pretty much everyone that Susanna's some supernatural creature herself, she, and that means we if we want to encourage her thinking of Chuck as a friend, we need to think about her image with the people. Right now I'll bet people are gossiping up a storm and we don't want to leave the idea that she's a vampire or a demon or something to sit and get established in people's heads. So we need to ask her what she wants Chuck to tell people. Personally, I'm thinking we tell people she's a fairy. People like fairies. Fairies can be friends. Better than a lot of the other options people will find plausible.

He's going to learn Julia's here, no matter what we do. Best he learn it from us.
I want to say we should probably tell him not to hurt Julia on account of the monsters being attracted to sin, and not mention that the house is protected... But that would make it very risky to have sex with anybody in here, because he might discover that sinning is... Relatively safe. And then he'll go commit a sin against Julia.
So, we need some way to convince him not to hurt Julia. For now.
>>
No. 843723 ID: 3ce125

It's still dangerous to sin in this house. The last time Chuck boned Ramona, one of the reverends came to the door and just would not stop trying to get in. It eventually left, but apparently the reverends aren't leaving anymore. If one (or more) of them gets lured to the house it might become impossible to leave the house without being attacked.

I mean I'm not saying we should completely avoid sex but we should have some sort of long-term plan first.

Oh yeah, speaking of long-term plans: The Catacombs. We originally wanted to get down there to get Sally a book on the Plath lineage, but I assume we'll probably still wanna get down there and see if there's any answers to the whole... Zombie-Reverends curse, thing.
So, we'll probably need to make sure the supplies for the trip are still here: Flashlights, ropes... Some food?
We'll also need a gun. Which means either talking Davey (good luck with that) or John out of their shotguns. The alternative is to bring them along, but Davey's got a... Self-centered streak, so if he comes along, he might not be reliable. And John's a cop, therefor a natural source of authority, and therefor might not follow our orders. Best not to take either of them, and instead try and get one of their guns.
We'll probably also want to decide who to take. We'll need Sally to get us in. And I'm thinking Julia to guide us in via the warehouse. Anybody else we wanna bring?

You look over your shoulder to ensure that you and Jim have walked out of John's earshot. You catch Jimmy up on what is going on with the town, how no one can really leave, and how the Plath mansion is the only place left the monsters can't get into. You leave out the part about robbing a bank.

Jimmy: "So we're locked in a little hotel? But it smells like mildew? Alright, I can work with that."

Jimmy: "Yeah. Not bad. Any bitches here? Not just dogs but you know what I mean. I've been riding for about eight hours so I feel like checking if my dick's still attached."

Ok, first, Chuck, first rule of talking about women with your bro: Stop. Look. Listen. Is there anyone in earshot who'll hear that you don't want to? Are you gonna talk about banging a mom and daughter and then find out one of them was right there behind a door or corner? Awareness, man. The whole town's packed in this house. Dense population, here. Arm around the shoulder, lower your voice.

Then give a little advice. "Jimmy, my man, this is the small town, here. Close community, people paying attention to each other, lotta gossip. Means the lonely ladies around here are cautious. Believe you me there are bunch of girls cravin' it hard but you know, just so you know, might not be any quick pickups like we do in the big stops."

And you know what if you really trust him to keep his trap shut and you're sure there's no-one around then you can regale him with a few of your more impressive sexcapades because you're probably dying to brag about it to someone.

He's not necessarily some sort of serial strangulation murderer. Even if he has the hands and arms for it.

Chuck didn't go around stealing and drugging, he had enough common sense to behave himself in a new town.

Jimmy seems to have enough sense too -- he was very respectful to John, and only stole out of desperation.

I don't think we have to worry about him flying off the handle. Hell, a he's big enough guy that if he wanted to escape he probably could have, so I'm guessing Jimmy's got a better tactical sense than Julia as well.

No doubt that he knows Julia stole his stuff and is playing it smart. He probably won't kill Julia until this mess is settled.

And if you let him know the Reverends are attracted to sin, my guess is he'll definitely not start anything until it's all settled.

We just learned that Chuck was the top dog. You know? The leader of a criminal gang? So you can forget about arguing that Chuck's better than Julia or Jimmy.

It's nice that Chuck's changed but, if he really changed, then it's his duty to help his old friends change as well. Letting them hurt each other or even instigate such an event would only mean that the real monster, that should be locked outside, is none other than Chuck himself.

Even if Jimmy's got enough calmness and common sense to not immediately try murder, Julia sure as hell does not. She's going to fly off the handle the instant she sees him come in through the door. There's no telling what she will do or what the collateral damage will be.

You stop in the hallway to take a breath. You never realized how stressful your old friends were. It was like a room with a bad smell in it that you just walked back into after a week away. Still, none of your lives were good back then, and those two were the only ones who really stuck with you. Now you've got a town full of people who care about you, and that doesn't really bother you as much as it did before. Maybe you'll go see Penny or Angela. Which one?

You find Penny on the third floor rumpus room, which you did not even know existed. It is a large, open room with a round rug and sofa in the middle. The walls are lined with shelves, and there is a dusty old piano against one of them. Penny hides the fact that she was yawning when you approach her.

Penny: "Hello there, hon."

You: "You look a little tired."

Penny: "Late night last night. I need my beauty sleep."

You: "Could've fooled me."

That gets a short-lived smile out of her.

Penny: "I never thanked you proper for bringing Marcie home. She'd have been dead without you."

You: "Anyone would have done the same."

She smiles again, but a silence follows.

Penny: "I know it..."

Penny:

Penny: "must be hard for you. I could tell you really..."

You just recently thought about your past, and how none of you were doing too well, and what sort of people your old "friends" actually are. Think about it a bit more, then say this:

"Yeah... you know, it was probably my favorite week in years. Marcie had a lot to do with that. I couldn't just leave her on her own.

Guess all we can do now is keep on moving. Eventually this is all distant past, and it'll all be better. More happy weeks then."
>>
No. 844052 ID: 62f1df

Talk it out with her. She's the one who knows Marcie best, and it'll probably help both of you sort out your feelings. Sit together, hash it out, maybe offer some coffee, and don't try anything sexual unless she seems up for it—and even then, it would be a bit creepy and might quickly backfire if you're caught.

I'm a Tom Cat, Penny. I would have tried, she's worth it, but my heart's always been a little twisted and wanderlusty, not to mention I'm from broken home. I'd probably break her heart in one definition or another. I couldn't stomach putting a frown on that adorable face, if its possible. And I would hate for you to kill me. You'd have every right to, and you'd probably would.

I'm offering no excuses here. Just stating the reality of who I am and how hard and unlikely it is to change. I could only say I would have tried being good for her. This mess we're in is partially my fault for my Tom Catting, even though if it was inevitable that another man would have come to town to do the same thing, like the new guy, or several women here discovered they were gay, or experimented.

FYI, the new guy is a jerk, but he isn't me and he's taller and has muscles if that's your thing Penny. Unless you have a thing with John, who shaved, by the way, and while that's off putting, his jaw is HANDSOME after you take a moment to look. Though I DO speculate that Romona and John may have had a thing in the past, like a High School love Triangle with Ed. I could TOTALLY see that happening.

You walk over to the window. It's strange to look outside into the horror, because it's a beautiful day. You can't see any reverends, but the town looks deserted and feels unsafe.

You: "Would've?"

Penny looks out the window for a bit.

Penny: "Hm?"

You: "I'm going to try again with Marcie."

She smiles warmly and takes a deep breath.

Penny: "The Marcie you came to know"

Penny: "if she was still with us..."

Penny: "It's what she would have wanted. She never quits."

Penny: "And she'd never marry a quitter."

You picture Marcie and feel anxiety tightening your chest.

Penny: "I like to think she's somewhere better."

You: "What?"

Penny: "I know it sounds silly, since she isn't... you know. Passed."

Tell Penny you want to try with her as well. Explain that being with Marcie alone is too painful and it makes you feel too anxious so you need someone more mature to calm you down. To hold you up and love you for the time being. Tell her that you understand that would be cheating but that it's the only way you see yourself trying with Marcie.

Since Penny really wants to see Marcie and Chuck together, it's unlikely she would say no to this.

Susanna's magic is weird. Could be in her, even if Susanna described it as Time Magic.

Tell Penny that Marcie's made some pup cakes, she should go eat them before they're all gone. Maybe get some coffee if someone brought any.

We should try to find Lorraine. Given our connection with her husband, his escape of Coxwette and that it's tied to love, it might be the key to unlocking Marcie's memories if we can get it back, if not it might be important for the final heist into the catacombs.

No. 844283 ID: 33d4be

The only person who might know that is Susanna. She probably knows a bunch of other important stuff too, if you could only get past her well of trauma-induced psychological problems, assumptions, obsessions, guilt and fairy nonsense. Chances of the town getting back to any normalcy, much less any of you getting out of here, are way down if you can't just have a proper sit-down conversation with her for once.

You have to see if Sally and Ramona can make more of that stuff from before, Chuck. Susanna won't say no to the chance to "talk" to someone who can do it back. Then... man, lots of possibilities. Get her to consider possibilities she's too crazy to on her own, like if the well/catacombs are part of the problem or potential solution, or find out if there's anything good she can do with a bigger pile of gems than she had before. Maybe just find out how to end the whole spell thing Nelson set up, it's gotta be easier to knock down than it was to build.

I wanna reiterate here: If Marcie needs to learn about her Amnesia, it's probably better if Marcie hears about it from Penny, and I'd suggest telling Penny as much.
It's something you're gonna want to hear from a trusted source, and due to the Amnesia, Marcie and Charlemagne are practically strangers.
Plus, would you believe if someone just randomly told you "Oh, by the way, you used to love me, but you don't remember because you totally have Amnesia"? Frankly, you wouldn't want to believe him, and you'd have no reason to do so.

But anyway, for now, we should really go talk to Julia. She's gonna want to know that Jimmy's here. And we're gonna want to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

That is an option. A very legitimate one. Certainly far better than telling her by ourselves.
But see we want more than just to explain that she once knew us, and that she's lost her memory. We want her to learn just how much we were willing to sacrifice to bring her back.
But people react better to learning of a person's exploits, if they learn them from a third party.
Third-parties have less to gain from telling you, and no reason to lie or embellish. And, since they have no reason to embellish, and have nothing to gain, they can get away with embellishing, and interjecting personal comments like "he was so brave" etc.
For example, if Charlemagne tells it, we'd have to be relatively modest and factual: "You were kidnapped by the Reverends, and I could not find and rescue you, so ultimately I enlisted Susanna's aid in bringing you back with a magic spell. However you lost all memory of our time together."
But if Penny tells it, she can get away with painting us as a lovestruck hero:
"When the Reverends kidnapped you, I was terrified, and Chuck was beside himself with worry. He would have marched straight into the woods armed with only a toothpick to bring you back if he had known where to find you.
But ultimately, he had to enlist Susanna's magic in saving you, at the cost of your memory of him and your time together. It must have torn his heart to pieces to do so, but it brought you back in the end."

Of course, there's no guarantee that Penny would tell it like that, but I'd say it's fairly probable that a conversation between the two would make at least some mention of how it pained Chuck to lose Marcie, and that's a guaranteed massive bonus to our favour with Marcie.
>>
No. 844758 ID: 638a35

I am not as inclined to agree with that. The actions taken the last few days, while not ALL heroic send a clear message about who we are becoming.

Having Marcie hear the truth, while maybe not as sweet, is probably the better option. She DID see that breakdown when trying to save her. And even if she doesn't have the exact same relationship Charlemagne that she did before this all started, she still respects the Mayor.

I am sure Marcie will remember how odd things have been around her since she 'woke up.' And if someone known for not messing about told her the full extent of what happened. It might not fix what HAS happened. But it might allow EVERYONE to step forward feeling renewed.

Plus there is always that chance that she could fall in love again, and I don't see any downside to that possibility.
>>
No. 844762 ID: fbf7fe

>>844758
Assuming you're responding to >>844726.

I'm not suggesting not telling Marcie the truth, I'm suggesting that Marcie should hear the truth from a source that is up to speed, has Marcie's trust, and is likely to put the best spin on our actions.
Penny fits that description slightly better than Charlemagne does.

The angle with what Charlemagne had to sacrifice to get Marcie back wasn't about not trusting the mayor, but rather that Charlemagne had to sacrifice his part in Marcie's life to get Marcie back.
And I'm really not sure Charlemagne is known for not messing about. In part because of his messing about and causing trouble, in part because he's been here, what, two weeks? And if he had that reputation, that's a reputation that Marcie's completely forgotten about due to the whole memory loss thing.

It's not that having Charlemagne talk to Marcie wouldn't work it's more... If Charlemagne does the talking, it'd result in a +15 bonus relationship points (just using a point system to illustrate). But if Penny does the talking, it's likely to be +17 relationship points.

You are going to have to talk to Marcie about this eventually, but you are going to need to work up the courage. Some liquid courage would help, actually. For now, you head off to find Angela, since you haven't seen her in a hot minute. Miss Angela is easy to find downstairs, as all you need to do is follow the sound of her tuning a banjo.

Angela: "In the attic"

Angela: "Oh, well, I don't suppose she'll mind..."

Well, she's a terribly lonely heavily traumatized fairy orphan with no social skills due to what might or might not count as a sort of learning disability in regards regular mortal interaction, so you should cut her SOME slack.

But you're pretty sure that getting her lover killed gave her some sort of horrible guilt complex that's been fucking with her decision making abilities and that's tragic and all but at some point you have to sort your shit out when people need you and not just leave a ton of problems lying around piling up and ready to pop because you're too scared to look closely at them or try and change anything.

Alright, so, I've had a... Well, honestly, a pretty terrible idea, about what we could do if we choose to organize a party:
We could encourage people to just have fun with spiting the Reverends.
Have Angela write a song about how the Reverends suck, have everybody badmouth the reverends, etc. I think that would cheer everyone up immensely.
Now, here's the thing... What other things could you do to spite the Reverends...
Oh, right, have lots of sex with Charlemagne.
Naturally, such a party would attract the Reverends, but they can't get in, right?
Assuming they can't, all we'd have to do is do our darndest to get one or more of these ladies to fuck us out of spite for the Reverends, before the Reverends inevitably show up and ruin the mood.

So what do you guys think, should we try for a giant spite-orgy? Or just have a party? Or no party at all?

>>
No. 845529 ID: fbf7fe

>>845523
Alright, well, in that case I think this is what we should do, in order:
Have Angela prepare music.
Find Geoff, Nazz, and/or Selma, have them organize games.
Go back to Penny, suggest she and Marcie collaborate on some snacks.
Maybe find Jules and Jimbo and tell 'em not to party too hard?
Probably should clear this with the landlady, too, so find Ramonabologna and chat her up...
Anything else?

A good place for Julia to admit her wrongdoings to Rachel, and to apologise. We should establish this as a requirement for her showing up. It was all a shitty thing of her to do, and if she keeps it inside her she can never truly belong to the community.
>>
No. 845542 ID: fbf7fe

>>845537
That's fair. But she's not gonna do it.
She doesn't care about these people, and has no desire to be part of the community.

You saw what she was like back at the warehouse. If she had had any bullets back then, she would've shot them all for sure.

Great. So we can risk losing two or three friends, reveal ourselves as a douchebag digging into other people's businesses for no other reason than to have a leverage to get laid with, and the reward is something that's not only a pretty long shot, but that no one here gives a shit about anyway?

Then I suppose this is a yet another instance of all those times RML has said how rarely the quest explores things she'd like to explore?

Unfortunately, it really seems like the time has passed for the whole penpal thing. We've got way bigger things to worry about now, and like I've already said I see little reason to focus on this particular line of loose threads. Besides, it really looks one of those that would've worked a lot better way back when Chuck was still kind of an asshole.

Let's just focus on the party or something. Get something going that's fun, eventful, involves everyone in the manor rather than just a character or two, and has the potential to drive the plot.

You definitely know what not to do now, which is bring up Angela's penpal, or ask Rita about the penpal situation. It leaves one pertinent question, though: what will you do? You know that you would like to help plan for the party, but with everyone here together doing their own thing already, it probably won't take all that much preparation anyway.

First go check on Ramona and Susanna and let them know what's happening, get their heads-up, any sort of advice on what you shouldn't be allowed to do here and what might attract the Reverends and whatnot.

Then go see Naz and Selma, give them a heads-up of what's going on and some time to come up with party games. If Susanna and/or Ramona gave some warnings on what not to do, pass those on as well.

Strong veto on going to see Julia. It's like you said earlier: being around your old "friends" makes you feel like breathing polluted air, so now that you've got a chance to drop them and not get involved in their bullshit, why would you ever go back there?

How about instead of faffing about we try accomplishing something? If we're going to actually figure out a way to deal with the reberends its going to be in the catacombs. It may he time to assemble am expeditionary team.

Needs and candidates are:
-a plath, probably sally. To open the door.
-maybe julia since she knows the path from the warehouse to the bottom pf the well
-somebody physically capable in case reverends show up. Susanna is all fucked up so thats probably rachel, jimbo, layla, and/or davey
-somebody who can actually explain anything we find down there, which probably means susanna or maybe rachel.

Also probably tear that burned up couch apart to make sure there's nothing in the remnants, your visions of it from the bottom of the well may have just beej because nelson died there, but if youre getting the visions because of dead cat ghost tryonf to sync with your body it may have been for some pther purpose.

In the meantime, we have so many social links left unexplored, and that really is one of the best parts of this quest. Let's continue finishing those we can still do while under house arrest.
We can broach the penpal subject with Angela or Rita, either one works, or we can go visit Julia or Naz and see if there's anything new with them.

Hello folks,

In between working on paid webcomics and art, I have been trying my best to get back into updating this quest as regularly as I would like to. Lately I have been struggling with exactly what direction to take it in since I am unable to gather a consensus on the preferred course of action. I require a majority vote for anything to get done in this quest, which has made it difficult to move forward as of late with most votes being AGAINST doing something rather than specifically FOR doing something.

That being said, if you have any gripes at or about me, post them in the discussion thread please. NOT here. I am using the time I have currently to make an update that will move the quest forward in a direction that people want without overtly railroading, which is the other side of the coin that will draw ire from readers. It is a delicate balance, but we have gotten out of worse.

If you'd like to contribute directly:

1) post plans of action - it's an open book, you can go anywhere in the house
2) stop shitposting
3) use the discussion thread for constructive reasoning to solve the quest's issues, and I'll read it
4) try to form consensus if you can. Otherwise railroading is all I can do, and I really don't want to do that

You go track down Naz and Selma, neither of whom you've really talked to since the crisis with the reverends ended. The two of them have left, but you do find them in one of the upstairs guest rooms, sitting on the bed and chatting. As you enter, looks up and gives you an uncharacteristic smile.

Naz: "Chuck!!"

Selma: "Oh my god"

Naz: "I was sure you and Rita and Rachel were goners."

She says this in her typical aloof tone at first, but it nearly breaks near the end.

Selma: "Geoff was about to go out there with a baseball bat."

You: "It's"

You: "You know, pretty swell you two aren't dead, too."

This draws a chorus of semi-sarcastic 'aww's from them.

Naz: "Where's your robe, dude?"

Naz: "You know these things are free, right"

We need to scare her out of it in a remotely controlled enviroment, at our own terms. Only that way can we finally move on from this bullshit.

The Lofty Loraine sounds like it would backfire horribly and get someone killed. Julia's already demonstrated she's easily spooked, an idiot, and has absolutely no judgement. If she doesn't run out and get herself killed she's equally likely to hurt or kill someone in a panic. Failing either of those things she won't get spooked at all and that sucks as well.

The Love Letter also sounds bad just because I doubt it would actually work. Unless she's a stupidly egotistical idiot instead of just the regular kind.

That leaves us with Shadowban, which isn't really funny. I mean, it will definitely piss her off, it will definitely work, it could also leave her an emotional wreck since she probably suspects nobody likes her anyway.

Shadowban's the best of the 3 but I think we need to think of something better without being terrifying.

I'd suggest something like making her think that some of the drugs she stole are still missing and are needed imidiately to save someones' life, and now people are grilling her to try and find some fictional drug that doesn't exist, but she's kind of a cunt and I don't think she actually cares about anybody else enough to get a reaction out of her.

Well then...since we're putting party planning and pranking on hold for now, I think we ought to complete the cycle of visiting all our friends just so we get all the information available to us before we progress with the plot.

Let's tell/remind Ramona about the sewer (if we haven't already). Then let's head to see Susanna.

PS. Am I the only one who feels like the plot is all over the place since we got to Ramona's house?

Can we get a refresher post summarising what's happened so far? Also, quest update. What quests do we have that are still valid, and what have we achieved?

I duly think "Bone the Bird" achievement should be top priority. ;)

Ramona: "It's just our emblem. You can find it all over the house."

Ramona gestures to the headboard of her bed.

Ramona: "From what I hear, Nelson had a bit of an ego. He made sure it was all over everything he owned, and it's been used to represent the family ever since."

Tell Ramona you don't think Suzanna wants this house considering she was horribly tortured and watched the guy she loved die because of her actions here.

You know what just spill all of Suzanna's secrets and troubles to Ramona. Telling her you had intimate relations with the snake is probably a less than optimal idea but everything else, yes, and if she asks how you found out just say she "showed you by accident". Ramona seems vulnerable along the angle of sympathy but Suzanna herself isn't going to let herself go enough to play that card so you can do it for her.

Then hopefully once they're getting along better these two broads will handle all the spooky shit that needs doing so you don't have to.

Is there anything stopping them from, say, setting the house on fire? Because that's kind of important.

You: "Now that Susanna's here, are you two going to... work together?"

Ramona: "I'm not sure I know what you mean."

You: "To save the town. I know you're not planning to stay like this forever."

Ramona doesn't answer right away.

You: "I think she can help."

Ramona: "Are you on her side now?"

You: "We're all on the same side."

Ramona: "You shouldn't trust her so easily. If you think she has a way to help, be careful. She is capable of much more than I am with..."

You explain what you remember to Ramona. It is hazy like a dream, but you can recall the basic events. Susanna turning Nelson in, the reverends showing up at the Plath House, Nelson's immolation, and Susanna's own execution.

Well, they weren't monsters at the time, except metaphorically, and he was the one who did this to the town. I think she was afraid of what could go wrong - the kind of stuff we're seeing now - and didn't know he'd already done it.

(Hm. Did he completely finish what he was doing? Maybe there was some sort of final step that he didn't get to.)

Anyway, if it helps at all, Susanna's been beating herself up about it ever since, though you're not sure she realizes it. She's been trying to minimize the damage from her and Nelson's actions, she just... isn't super great at it. And she's a bit nuts.

She was more naive back then, and whatever Nelson was doing terrified her, but she loved Nelson. She thought she could Save Him. She underestimated the brutality of the church, however.
Those three weren't monsters, but monstrous men back then.
They burned him alive in the boudoir, right in front of Susanna, then injected her with gallons of holy water, thinking it would cleanse her of her sins.
She survived, and using the same saber she used last night, slaughtered all of them. That wound in her belly was a direct hit from a blunderbuss during this, by the way.

She left out how or why they came back as wraiths, however. Maybe she doesn't know, maybe she's hiding it.

"What this town is - a purgatory you can't escape, held in some timeless place where your memories are rewritten so you can't see the cracks?
That's Nelson Plath's legacy. He did that.
He had this dream of a perfect world.
When he told Susanna, she balked. It was too much, or at least too fast. She got scared.
The reverends were normal people, then. She turned to them to stop him, because he was playing with the souls of countless people. She didn't want him dead, but she was young and still believed that people were basically good. The reverends murdered him - he's the one who burned on the couch, and I think he's your uncle - and then murdered her.

But Nelson Plath's work was already done, or at least close to it. Susanna UNdied, and killed the reverends for their betrayal. Then the reverends undied, but came back... wrong.
I'm not sure if Nelson Plath is dead, or undead, or hiding, or whatever.

Because of Nelson Plath this town has been trapped for hundreds of years and nobody really knew it but Susanna. I don't think anybody has died here, but there's no way we could know.

Susanna is creepy and a jerk, but I don't think I can say she was wrong.

Nelson was the reason you're all trapped in Coxwette, and why you all have a dazing spell on you about the passage of time, and possibly other events, she didn't like that at first and thought it robbed everyone of their agency. After everything was said and done, she decided to protect what Nelson did to the town, for the precise reasons I don't know, the flip of motivations is still confusing.

Nelson's spell is weird, I don't KNOW if you're truly his descendant, you could be his daughter... or his wife. In his words, no one is supposed to be able to die because of his spell. If what I heard was right, I think your his daughter. You can't be his sister, since he was not born, he would have awoken like Susanna somewhere. If you were his wife, the spell could have convinced you and everyone that there was someone called Ed who fathered Sally and left. Which, by the way, if he did leave, he's a goddamn zombie out there in the infinite fields. The daze might even effect Susanna partially to this effect since she also thinks Ed exists and is a zombie out there and believes you CAN die from Cancer, but that's only possible if Susanna or the reverends fucked with the spell. OR she lied about it, I dunno.

Ed could have been like another me too, but an abusive dickbag stepfather, and the spell edited your perception of events to make him into Sally's father instead of adoptive father.

Fuck, my soul apparently escaped before and the spell did some weird ass gaga shit to create some of the Cletus background. Cletus could NOT have been a part of the civil war, supposedly he DIED as he escaped Coxwette if my other vision is correct.

I don't know man! Nelson's spell is fucked up! You could be his descendant, his daughter, or his wife, I don't know! The only way to know for sure is to see if you can unlock the catacombs! You're his wife if you can't!

Sure, but as long as the house is magically protected, that hole is completely safe. I'm more worried about them chucking a weapon through a window and impaling that spider puss-puss. And nothing should impale that spider puss-puss except for some (wrapped) Chuck sausage.

Of course if the magical protective item is in the room with the hole... DUN DUN DUUUUN

What, wrong size? You don't seem a man who'd be so shocked by a condom being out of date or anything like that. Maybe it's the opposite? Is the condom newer than anything you know, Chuck? Or is the brand name weird or something? Come on, man. We can't see what you're looking at. If there's some sort of problem you can just get handsy with each other.

Strip-tease. Sophie mentioned that the odds of her getting pregnant were low. Let her put the condom on, that way it's 'in her hands', but stoke that spider-fire as much as possible.

Besides, Chuck impregnating half the town might not be a bad thing, surely their numbers are limited.

It's not rocket science, you put on the condom if you ever want to fuck the spider again, cause if you fucked a doctor without a condom when she told you to put one on she'd have something to say about that.

If it's damaged, eat her out and hope she's down for some backdoor action.

You don't have many words for one another at the moment. You both have been through so much since the last time you were together, and none of it you want to talk about. You just jump in like two hungry people going at a free buffet.

Sure was satisfying though. Sophie was definitely wound up, even after sleeping.

You: "Damn."

Sophie: "Oh"

You stand up and stretch, the adrenaline wearing off quickly. Your wounds begin to throb again, and you only now realize how much you just exerted yourself beyond Sophie's own orders. You tie off the condom and drop it in the trash. You should probably hide it better since something is going to be coming through here to clean up the room, but you'll worry about that later.

Now what? There is plenty to talk about. If you decide to leave the room, you'll probably need some more fresh clothes, or maybe some pajamas.

You hold off on talking about the prank until morning, as you are pretty tired. If you aren't leaving the room for now, you won't need any pajamas.

This feels like a victory, but the high is cut short when you remember that you are still trapped in a house that is surrounded by monsters. You try to take your mind off of that by climbing back into bed to rub some of Sophie many shoulders. She shrugs them up and hums with satisfaction.

As much as both Chuck and Sophie needed that, the last thing we need is to have a network of jealousy and other drama erupt into a potentially literal shipping war as a result of Chuck's tom-cattery; after this is all dealt with, there will be plenty of time to decide the nature of this web of relationships, but for the time being we need to keep the peace. Sohpie should sleep on her own... at least after she's had a chance to recover and get dressed.

Relationships? Being conscious of consequences of tom-cattery? That's not Chuck. No one has ever been jealous and everyone knows Chuck sleeps around. Besides, we all know the real ship is with Marcie who he has expressedly wanted to try again with.

Ignore the consequences. People will just assume they had a fun time, and fell asleep after which is not unusual.

Ask her to stay!

It is a tough choice, but you walk Sophie back to her room, giving her a kiss goodnight. It feels so good that you are sorely tempted to jump on her again, but every party needs to end.
