Well he's out of commission for a minute, or several. Check the next room while he recovers.

>>696318
And now that you've done that, he's gonna hold a grudge. So, in the future, if you ever find yourself trapped and he's the only one that can free you, he's going to leave you trapped until you apologize.

JESSICA: I'll take my chances. Besides, the tactless bastard had it coming.

>>696396
You enter the room Franchesco came from, Most of the floor has given way in this room. In the middle of the room is a heavy ladder that leads down to the second level. and to your left is another dirty window.

What do you do?

Go down the ladder and let Franchesco know that you're down there if he wants to give politeness a try.

Drag Franchesco in and lock the door. Go down the ladder afterwords.

>>696486
You say that now, but when (because in these types of situations it's always "when" not "if") a situation like that does happen, you'll end up regretting that choice.

Did anyone forget that all other times we look down to the 2nd floor we saw almost nothing but darkness? Can we at the least wait for Franchesco to answer our questions?

After Franchesco manages to drag himself back into the room, you lock the door behind you both and face Franchesco.

JESSICA: "you ready to give politeness a try?"

Franchesco winces before managing to stand up on his feet again.

FRANCHESCO: "Aug... Sure, lets try this again without you hitting me. I'm sure you have some questions so, fire away."

Ask him what he know about the city being destroyed. Maybe ask about his markings too. Or are those tattoos? (Is he covered in fur? Maybe it's dye.)

Ask him if he has seen any other survivors.

Does he know what the barricades are set against/blocking?

JESSICA: "What do you know about the destroyed city outside?"

FRANCHESCO: "Honestly your guess is as good as mine about that."

JESSICA: "Whats with the tribal tattoo?"

FRANCHESCO: "Tribal Tattoo? Are you blind or something? their clearly flame tattoos. I've had them for...for...for a long time."

JESSICA: "Are their any other survivors?"

FRANCHESCO: "Yes, their are several others in a barricaded room downstairs."

JESSICA: "What are those barricades for any way?"

FRANCHESCO: "I don't know about the other barricades, but the ones we put up are to protect against those shadowy, inky-black monsters."

Wait! Monsters?! What monsters?!

>>696720
Oddly enough, I haven't seen any monsters at all. I just woke up in a room with a locker in it and I have no idea how I got in that room!

Good thing we locked the door behind us, what with the hole in the rotunda and the collapsed floor in the hallway. We are very lucky no monster found us at this point.

FRANCHESCO: "Actually, I've seen those things break down locked, un-barricaded doors before so we should probably get moving to where the rest of my group is before one of those things does decide to show up."

Alright, let's get moving then befor we get killed by a clear jinx.

Give him the fuses. Aren't fuse boxes supposed to be on the ground floor or in the basement?

The monsters break locks... The first room had a broken lock. Probably a coincidence!

You now have a new member in your party. From this point on all suggestions should be clarified as to who should perform the action, whether it should be done by Jessica, Franchesco, or both.

What will you do now?

>>696864
Both: Go to the stairs.

Franchesco: Lead the mean ball busting lady with the fuses to the stairs.

Jessica: Follow the poor scarred for life guy you just busted in the balls for no reason to the stairs.

And before you start, no you didn't have a good reason. Flirting is not a good reason to bust a guy in the balls, unless he was being extremely creepy about it, which he wasn't. Your only reason was, "my head hurts, I want to hit something". Seriously, your body starts hurting and you lash out at someone who didn't even cause the pain in your body in the first place! And here I thought all of those degrees you were bragging about made you smart! Apparently "manners" is a subject you flunked out of. Shame. On. You.

Franchesco, check inv.
Also, a smack to the face or a punch to the gut is justified. Hitting the boys is painful and lasting.

Keep in mind, I was struck by two doses of 'hangover-strength' migraines in a row not long after finding my home in a state akin to that of an atomic test cite, AFTER waking up in a room with almost no recent memory regarding where I was, the state of my city, or the chance that everyone I know is likely dead! And now I recently find out that I could have been killed by some 'boogie-men' at any time in the past five minuets! Frankly, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK OF WHAT I DID BECAUSE I'M BARELY KEEPING FROM LOOSING IT AND BREAKING DOWN HERE!!!!!!

>>696902
FINE DONT THEN

Maybe flirting is his way to cope with this situation. He's been stuck in this shit for longer than you and he's not to blame for what's going on but if you can't apologize for overreacting then fine, be that way. Let's see where your charming personality leads you, smart-ass.

>>696898
I disagree with your choice and you disagreed with mine (the slap) earlier. That's fine, it's over. Hopefully he won't hold a grudge. Let's continue.

Are the monsters coming from outside? Can they be hurt/killed? Is the front door blocked/barricaded? How many people are in your group?

Ok, A: calm down, the veins in your face are starting to show. B: Even though you are clearly not to far off from cracking and have been through a lot, you should still apologize to him. We know what you've been through but the most we know about what he has endured is that he has seen those monsters we somehow managed to avoid.

>>696902
Well if that's the case, why don't you break down when you see a monster and "break" it down? That way you actuall HAVE a reason to lash out at something.
