>Last time on Z Quest!

Lucy and Doug escaped the horror show that Wal-mart had become but not before encountering a girl and her son, injured and trying to escape as well. Without any time to think a grotesque creature crept from the store and began to sprint straight towards everyone. Lucy pulled the girl and her son into the car while Doug put the pedal to metal and got everyone out before the creature could reach.

After a stressful and horrific scene Lucy, Doug and Molly then headed to the high school where her, Doug's, and the rest of the gated communities children were under lock down. Along the way they underwent a fire fight between police and some rednecks that seemed to be cracked out of their minds. They also rescued Lucy's friend Amy from a bizarre car accident and recovered a cache of supplies while also seeing a strange man that ran away before they could investigate.

Finally Lucy and Doug made it to the high school and were met with a horrifying sight. Dead students and Faculty sprawled on the floor of the gymnasium in pools of their blood. Most were still alive but bound and gagged with terror in their eyes. A man standing above them with a knife drenched in blood made a revelation about the fate of Lucy's daughter that set Doug off. Doug shot the man between the eyes.

Now we come back as the man with the knife is down but followers in the back room are rushing to the front to see the commotion. There is also a bloodcurdling howl that seems to be getting closer and closer.

>take the freak's knife if we don't bring ours
>tell Doug to flank the locker room entrance while you wait near it.
>make sure they are all out and signal Doug to release hell.
>charge and kill what's left, take unholy pleasure from finishing these sickos
>94, 7( -10) roll for darkness = 84, -3

The whole world is in slow motion. It's pitch black in the gymnasium. The only light is the rapid flashes of the lightning outside from the torrential storm. The only sound is the chest rattling thunder and the constant pounding of the rain pouring down on the ceiling.

You are staring at the hooded man in disbelief. A wicked smile paints his face as blood leaks from the hole in his forehead. You look back to Doug, who is standing completely still like a statue, and are shocked to seem with his gun still smoking and trained on the downed man. Doug's rage is palpable, his breathes heavy and ragged.

You look around at the bound and gagged faculty to find them all bug eyed and full of tears that streak down their faces. They look even more frightened than before for some reason. They are trying to say something but all you can hear are there terrified muffled screams

Your attention however is immediately taken from Doug to the sound of men coming from the locker rooms in the back, where Celeste is being kept. Your heart sinks as you realize from the different voices that there is at least four of them and only two you.

With this realization your maternal instincts kick into overdrive and reality finally snaps you back into place.

You immediately run towards the hooded man and pick up his blood soaked knife and take a crouching position under the bleachers right beside the men's locker room entrance.

You look over and see Doug exactly the same! He hasn't moved an inch. But for good reason. You follow his eyesight and see the hooded man is no longer just lying on the ground dead. You wish to god you never looked.

The hooded man's body is shaking and convulsing violently. He screams in bloody agony as his bones audibly snap in and out of place contorting in all manner of ungodly directions. His skin seemingly begins to melt but also reshapes into hideous forms and tentacles around his body. His skin also begins to develop blood and pus filled sacks everywhere. Bones, excrement, and entrails spill from his orifices and spew onto the floor in a bloody mess near the bound students.

What remains is a ghastly creature straight from a hell worse than you could ever horrifyingly imagine. And its standing right in front of Doug.

Mustering all the courage currently in your body you yell out to Doug

"DOUG!! GET OUT OF THERE!!!"

But it does nothing. Doug stands not only in horror but profound confusion.

The doors to the boys locker room suddenly burst open! Four men in black hooded trench coats rush into the gymnasium but immediately stop in their tracks at the sight of the creature. As soon as they stop and stare at the creature your fear and the image of that creature immediately vanish and is replaced with hatred for what they did to your daughter as you lunge from under the bleachers to the first man you can reach.

You plunge the bloody knife into the back of his throat with such force you feel the blade slice though his spinal cord. His arms shoot up and try to grab you as he gurgles and chokes on his blood but you your entire body weight to throw him to the side. The loud thud of his body hitting the hardwood floor forces his three comrades attention to you as they all turn around in shock.

Not wasting a second you cry out and slash one of the hooded men's throats before he can say anything! The hooded man clutches his throat and drops to his knees blood spewing from his new hole and mouth.

Still capitalizing on the element of surprise you lunge at the next hooded man and tackle him to the ground. Straddling him you raise the bloody blade as proceed to stab his chest 10 times before the last man comes from behind you and yanks you off of his comrade with incredible force. On the ground you try to get up but the last hood man pins you down with both arms and sits on your stomach. He holds both of your hands about your head with only one of his as he uses his other hands to grip you face.

"Let go of me!" You cry out in fury "I'll kill you for what you did to her!!"

You struggle with all your might but to no avail. A sinister laugh escapes the hooded man straddling you. He forces your face still and directly on him

"Shhh....... Just look into my eyes..." He whispers as he forces you to gaze into his abyss black pupils...

You gaze in the hooded man's abyssal eyes and your consciousness is transported inside. You feel your soul being sucked in to his body.

You find yourself... standing? You can't tell, everything around is pitch black. It looks like absolutely nothing but darkness stretches out for miles around you.

You feel like the ground is soft... and fleshy. You could swear the floor is beating faintly like a heart struggling to pump its crimson fluid through its veins. You lift your foot only to find a stingy mess of viscera cling to the bottom of your shoe. You scream in disgust and find your voice echoing loudly over the land of nothing.

As if in response to your scream a faint light hovers above you allowing you to see exactly what you are standing on. The floor isn't a floor but raw flesh plentifully adorned with eyeballs giant and tiny with fang filled mouths silently gaping open and shut almost like they are whispering conversations at a non stop rate.

The entire view is enough to force you to retch in disgust but it isn't until you accidentally take a whiff of the putrid air that you actually vomit.

As you vomit all the eyes and mouths stop. The eyes all turn to face you directly. The mouths all begin to move in sequence and a thousand voices speak at once.

"Greeting little lamb. Aren't you far from your flock." All the mouths slither into a sickening smile, the eyes squint into a predatory leer. Like a wolf that's just found a helpless rabbit stuck in a pit.

"You are quite the brave little lamb, most mortals that are sent here don't usually have the mental fortitude to even stand.It's been so many millennia since a mortal has entered this place with a sane mind." the thousands of voices say in unison in a praise giving way.

"And yet here you are, even able to comprehend my speech. Able to withstand my gaze. Quite the little lamb indeed" The voices say in a mocking tone

"It would be a shame to defile such a prized lamb." The voices feign sadness "Such a prized lamb deserves a reward don't you think little lamb?" The voices ask

"Yes, such a prized little lamb should not be put to waste oh no no no." The ground suddenly quakes and a towering mound of flesh, eyes, and mouths erect in front of you. Its form beats and wriggles rhythmically as the eyes all stare down at you.

You take a step back and onto another eyeball and yelp "Do not fret little lamb, I will return you to your plane of existence. However..." Mound slithers closer.

All the mouth smile wickedly "Tell me little lamb would you like a reward for being such a prized little lamb?! I want to give you power! Enough power to make you a lion among lamb. Enough power to protect your flock.... enough power to take your revenge against those dastardly beings that used your offspring to tear the veil..." The mouths now have shifted into a hungry and sultry whisper. All the mouth disgustingly drool at their own words.

>What do you want to say?
>Pure write-in
>>
>>4405347
Ask for the power to protect our family. And for our daughter to return to her undefiled state.
>>
>>4405347
Whatever this thing is it isn't something we want to be tainted by or empowered by ask it to return us back as we were.

deals or "gifts" from other worldly beings tend to end badly

It’s a faustian bargain for sure but we’re not going to survive long without it. Plus things can’t get worse than they are now.

Like it or not we need the power
>>
>>4405401
>Plus things can’t get worse than they are now.
yes, yes it can, we are still Sane, uniffected and not corrupted by a great old one with powers that will slowly drain our sanity

>>4405405
>>4405401

I am telling you, guy's that taking the offer is a misstake
>>
>>4405408
Maybe we can ask for one last wish? Allow us to remain uncorrupted by their power. After all, a prized lamb wouldn’t taste good if sick. The best hunt is one where the prey is strong and healthy.

the gift was always tainted anon. I hoped that we could get away without a mark. but i guess our focus now if we get out of here alive is to remove the taint.

some piece of shit specifically >>4405361
rolled got a shit roll and deleted it in the hopes no one would see it. fucker realized he had fucked us with his accept the deal from a great old one and tried to unfuck it with the roll. he then fucked the roll and deleted it.

>>4405460
fuck you this was a bad idea from the start and you should have known better. As for removing taint, how in the fuck do you suggest that when it's coming directly from a fucking elder being.

You honestly think the merger man-made religions of the earth are going to be able to undo the taint of a great old one, really you honestly believe that. No bro, this is going to stay with us and there isn't a god damned thing to be done about it. when it comes to this kind of Cthulu esk shit you either maintain your level of humanity/sanity or it degrades. it never get's better only worse.

You look down,clench your fists, close your eyes, and start thinking to yourself.

"I... need to do this. If there is any chance in hell I can protect my family from whatever wicked force has been unleashed on our home than I can't ignore it. I need to protect my family. I need to protect everyone that I can. Even if it means accepting the power to protect from this... aberration." you internally monologue your justifications for what you are about to do.

You open your eyes and look back to the mass of flesh before you

"Ok." you say softly

"Hm? What was that little lamb? I couldn't hear you. Speak up." The thousands of voices taunt you harmoniously

You clench your fists even tighter to stare deep into the largest eye on the creature and say

"I said Ok. I accept your gift. Give me the power to protect my family. Give me the power to stop whatever monsters that are plaguing my home!" you say with as much courage and strength as you can muster.

All the mouths break into a maniacal laughter, with thousands of voices laugh all at different tones and levels from great bellows to soft chuckles you are forced to cover your ears and scream in pain as they ring.

The mouths quickly stop and smile down at you

*High Morality Tag used*

"Ahh such a precious little lamb, what noble wishes you have in mind for your gift. It's quite intoxicatingly fresh" The mouths smile with wicked glee "You don't wish to exact bloody revenge on the parasites that tore the veil and defiled your offspring? What a noble little lamb" it says tauntingly

You hold your hand up in protest and speak up "Actually I... wanted to put a condition on my acceptance if you'll allow it. Pertaining to that." you say meekly

The eyes grow in surprise but then squint back down in a predatory stare "What did you have in mind little lamb?" It asks

"I don't want to go on this path of bloody vengeance I just... I just want my daughter back and the power to protect her. So my condition of acceptance is for you to use your power to revert her back to before she was defiled. She won't be the same if she has to carry this trauma. She won't be my little girl anymore. Without my little girl there is no point in me going back..." you say trying to hold back a floodgate of tears.

The void of flesh is silent all eyes and mouths shut and 1 long minute of silence passes.

The eyes all snap open again and the mouth's curve into deviant grins.

"It is done little lamb. I have fulfill your condition. Now are you ready?" The thousands of voices echo

You do have one more request... You decide to voice it before its too late "There's one mor-" immediately your brain feels as if it is being squeezed by a clawed hand, you wail in agony as your mind is wracked with mind shattering pain.

"Avarice doesn't suit you little lamb, use my gift well little lamb.... but not too often." and with that your consciousness is sent flying through darkness.

thank the anon who asked for more

>>4405536
You numb nutz, brain dead, retard. It's a fucking flesh horror from the beyond, we would have gotten the corruption regardless. The correct call was to refuse because now our MC is locked in for a bad ending, even if we save our family we have been corrupted. A corruption which only get's worse every time we use whatever "power" it I gave us. Both of you fucked us anon, I hope you happy about it.
>>
>>4405540
bro calm your tits, also I noticed by the links that last time this quest was active it was last year

Yeah, I was in it and we survived the shit by being smart and staying sane, then you fuckers come along and do this shit. I pisses me the fuck off.
>>
>>4405560
and so was I anon. I just don't think we can live with our daughter being a mind broken raped thing if we had the chance to revese it.
>>
>>4405570
I think with support from us and the senpai we could have helped her overcome it. But this deal, Nah we are fucked even if we save the senpai, our MC is fucked and won't be getting a happy ending.

just read one of the last parts and holy shit, thank glob we chose to heal the daughter

You return back to instant you left. Hooded man on top of you, torrential storm outside, muffled screams all around, an ungodly wail coming from the mass of flesh in the center of the gym and the silent Doug still trying to comprehend what's in his very face.

The hooded man straddling you sees that his eyes aren't affecting you,even worse they aren't on him and he is flushed with rage, He takes his hand from your face, pulls back and then backhands you with full force. That was the last mistake he lived long enough to make.

You feel a burning sensation on your stomach that explodes in pain. You scream bloody murder as whatever it is begins to spread through out your body. The man on top of you looks back in shock and horror like something terrifying is looking at him.

You feel your stomach bulk violently then settle into a tight pack. Your arms and legs follow suit. Your finger and toe nails lengthen and sharpen into claws. Your hair turns from beautiful golden locks tens of eye stalks each with a different colored iris. Your skin turns from pale human flesh to meaty fleshy pink. You feel your teeth sharpen and your mouth rips wide into a fully fanged maw. your normal eyes transform and merge from gorgeous sky blue eye to one giant red iris eyeball. The pain then suddenly skyrockets at your flesh begins to tear open all over your body. Blood and viscera spew out and the tears either grow into fanged mouths or giant eye balls. once your transformation is complete the pain completely disappears.

The hooded man scrambles off you with a terrified yell. He clings to wall like a frighten child watching in horror as you rise to your feet.

Picking yourself off the floor you come to realize you now stand 8 feet tall. Your body while soft and fleshy is cover in extremely well-defined muscles. You look at your hands and find whispering mouth on your palms and eye balls on the opposite side. You clench your fists but feel no pain from the mouth there. You close your main eye and suddenly you have can see through every single eye on your body, give you complete 360 vision. You actually feel really good. Really powerful... NO NO You feel disgusted! This repulsive form makes you sick! This is only to protect Celeste and everyone else. Right....?

You are cut off from spectating your new form and inner thoughts as screams of terror ring out.

You turn to the center of the gym to find Doug 10 feet in the air with a fleshy tentacle around his throat and two students with tentacles around them being dragged into this creatures body like it's trying to absorb them!

You are about to make a move before the hooded man straight up bolts for the men's locker room. His mask fall from his face as he dashes and his true face is revealed. You don't believe at first but your eyes aren't deceiving you. Fury fills your body at the sight of him.

It's Celeste's boyfriend Kyle. And he's about to get away.

>Who do you go after?
>What do you do?
>>
>>4405598
Attack the tentacle monster that is about to kill doug and the students.

If it's any consolation you guys got the very BEST deal possible out of that thing minus the excess taint but with careful management it shouldn't be that bad

It's better to accept a gift than have it forced on you lol there were 5 forms you could have gotten all tied to how you've played up til this point.

So cheer up anons and roll with it, you haven't been locked into a bad end... yet.
>>
>>4405598
Retreat the tentacles coming from us and then run after Kyle and subdue him
>>
>>4405611

>>4405608
Well not being locked in for a bad end is something at least. Out of curiousity what does this form mean.
>>
>>4405606
Yeah kill the tentacle thing.

>>4405608
Well can we go back to the human form once the fight is done then? The thing did say that we shouldn’t use its gift often
>>
>>4405613
did you pay attention to what I wrote ?
>>
>>4405622
You're leaving the tentacle monster alone and going after mask boy
>>
>>4405615
This is the "Beauty and the Beast" form with the Corrupted Protector Tag, you retain consciousness and are able to control your power. The power is YOURS. You are able to revert back at will, and can maintain sanity so long as you don't use the form too long and too often. Over-usage will result in sanity reduction and other penalties. Other stuff about this form will reveal itself later
>>
>>4405624
the tentacle is coming from us dude
>>
>>4405626
aaah, clever, also if I had to guess we really didn't have a choice on if the flesh being gave us a gift of not did we.
>>
>>4405626
Okay that’s very cool. I can totally live with that. Any possible way to remove the corrupted tag though? Also we’re going to need to bring spare clothes everywhere we go now.

Here's the deal, I didn't think I would have to break out this so soon

So Morality points are spendable at times like these You have 10 so far, You can spend 3 now (only cus its such a big roll normally it'll only cost 1) and take that 967 and just hope you don't do anything immoral and gain them back through dialogue and choices. Also you'll lose some current benefits of morality bonus but not all

You guys decide, this'll be the last vote of the night and tomorrow will be a perspective change
>>
>>4405675
I need to know the full benefits of morality points first and what the lack of it could bring. But honestly I think we should accept because we’ve always been a good girl who never wished evil on anyone.
>>
>>4405678
Oh and do we get morality points for using morality points to save the children?
>>
>>4405678
Current Benefits - Passive bonus in dialogue, Bonus Dialogue options, Stress resistance, Sanity Resistance, and +20 Relationship bonus to all people met.
-3 = 7/10 Morality - Passive bonus in dialogue, Stress Resistance, Sanity Resistance, and +14 Relationship bonus to all people met (The +14 is what's used for the Stress and Morality Res Rolls)

I agree you guys have been killing the morality game so I think its safe but I still gatta put it to a vote

(Yeah you'll get refunded 1 Morality point since it cleared the 900 check)

ok time spend

No. You could have refused, granted you would have had to roll for whether you succeeded or not but no the “gift” inset forced on you no matter what and it wouldn’t have been a gift if you tried to refuse the creature. You could’ve been cursed, partially mind broken, Soul bound, and a lot of other options. Your choices up to now greatly impacted how you got entered the abyss and what was waiting for you

Before Kyle can push through the door all of the eye stalks adorned on you fleshy scalp are trained on him. He then makes the fatal mistake of looking you in the eyes.

*Paralyzing Ray obtained*

As soon as his eyes connect to yours you feel a dark force of power well up in your eye stalks that force him to stop in his tracks immediately. A horrified look stains his face as he is unable to move an inch, you can hear his helpless screams in your mind as he struggles in terror to move. A thin black aura now lines his body and wafts off of him like smoke. He's now held in place by some dark force you created with the eye stalks on your head.

You don't have time to study further as the eyes on your back show Doug and the students being choked and dragged further towards the fleshy tentacled monster.

Without wasting a second you turn around and sprint towards the great speed. You reach it in milliseconds and use your new claws as a blade to chop each of the tentacles holding Doug and the students with blinding speed.

The creature screeches like a twisted swine as its limbs are cut from its body. Its full attention is centered on you as it somehow manages to leap up towards your face.

You easily catch it in midair with both hands before it can reach you. The mouths on your palms fall into a feeding frenzy as they begin to rip and tear into the flesh you are holding, consuming chucks of the creature. The creature again screeches in agony as its body now convulses violently. 5 new bloody tentacles sprout from its unholy mass and shoot towards you.

You raise your arms up with the creature in them and unleash a deafening roar from your fanged maw as you clutch your fists around the creature even tighter driving you claws deeper into the mass flesh. The tentacles stop midway on their path to your face and then coil themselves around your arms squeezing in protest hoping to force you to stop. Instead it's tentacles coiling around your arms only excite the mouths along your arm and send them into a feeding frenzy as well.

With the creatures wails of pain growing you offer one last unholy roar that shakes the room as your begin to pull the creature apart. The middle of the thing splits open inch by inch at the sheer force of your strength. The creature's entire mass begin to wriggle and writhe violently, trying desperately to escape as its septic green and red innards begin to spill from the tear forming in its middle. Your mouths increase in ferocity as they chew and consume faster than before. Bloody strands of flesh and viscera are all that are holding the thing together before you completely rip it in half. Silencing it.

You throw down both halves of the creature in disgust and unleash a victory roar that rings throughout the gymnasium and over powers the noise of the thunder outside. You've won.

*Dark Consumption Obtained*

*Aberrant Amalgamation Ability Stolen"

Blood streams from the mouths along your arms and in your palms as they finish chomping the flesh of the creature you just defeated. The eyes covering your body frantically look around in all different directions as if in ecstasy at the taste of what your body is consuming.

You look down with your main Cycloptic eye at Doug and all the students and faculty you just saved and the looks you receive are that of absolute terror. Every single pair of eyes looks at you with pure disgust, fear, and incomprehension.

The putrid pile of rotting flesh and offal before you beats like a dying heart as what use to be the hooded mans exithole grows teeth and expands into a mound of viscera that begins to whisper to you.

"The veil... between our world and theirs has been torn asunder. A gaping wound upon the fabric of reality." It speaks in slow pained bursts. "They are coming... We are the first world to be blessed by their power in eons... since before the birth of this universe....The earth shall be consecrated with our blood for the sins we have committed " It speech slows even further. It only has a handful of time left. "We should be honored...I have seen the beauty of the world they wish to create... don't delay the inevitable sister... THEY ARE COMING FOR US ALL!!! HAHAHAHA"

As the flesh screams its final words you lift your foot and stomp down on the pile. Silencing it. You feel the fleshes last wriggles beneath your feet and between your toes as it finally dies under your weight.

You stare at the dead pile of flesh in shock and horror. What does it all mean?Who is coming? When is it too late? How could this have happened?

Your thoughts are swept away as a bundle of screams ring out from the men's locker room followed by what sounds like the collapsing of a wall. One scream you recognize in an instant. Celeste. Something's happening back there.

>Chris Riley

"Jesus Christ when is this presentation going to end..." You think to yourself as you sit slumped i your chair. The rooms lights have been dimmed and the window blinds have been shuttered. You are sitting at a long table accompanied by your coworkers as one of them is giving a power-point presentation on new company policies on sexual harassment. The presentation has been going on for the better part of 3 hours already.

Saved from the monotony of this presentation, your phone buzzes in your pocket. You clear your throat to cover the soft buzz as you slide your phone from you pants and cover the screen with your hands as you swipe the screen to unlock it.

You dim the screen to the lowest brightness setting as a picture from your secretary appears. She is wearing a button-up shirt, which is currently unbuttoned to fully expose her cleavage in a lacy bra, and a pencil skirt with heels. She is using one hand to hold the phone for the picture and the other to grope her chest. The message attached to the image reads "Your office is getting hot, when are you getting out of that meeting so you can come cool me off? >;D <3"

You feel heat flutter to your cheeks in equal parts excitement and embarrassment as you quickly cover the screen and look to your sides to ensure no one else saw that.

The man sitting to your right, Rick Crenshaw, is currently facing the Presenter and isn't paying attention to you at all. However the man to your right, Will Johnson, your best friend, is looking straight at you. He shakes his head at you in disappointment.

Will lives right next door to you and was the first friend you made in the city. His wife Amy is friends with your wife Lucy and his kids play with yours all the time. Needles to say you two are very close. You both use each other to dump your dirt and problems over beers after work. He knows all your secrets and you know all of his. Like the affair you've been having.

Will has been completely against you're affair the moment you told him about it a couple years ago. The guy has got a heart of gold, a literal boy scout in every sense of the words. The type of guy that would go out of his way to find the owner of a wallet he found on the street. But that's kind if why you like him so much. He reminds you of everything you aren't. He offers great advice and words of wisdom but you just can't take them. Change is hard. For a guy like you especially, its near impossible. But it's nice to think about. What it'd be like to be a good man.

That's were you balance him out. You've tried to take him to strip-clubs, gambling, regular clubbing, etc and he just can't do it. Hell getting him to go with you to bars after work took a year of convincing. He's extremely loyal to his wife and kids. You admire him for that but the guy is wound up too tight. He doesn't ever take time for himself. He is just all business 24/7. You hate to see him like that but it can't be helped.

"Come on Chris, it ain't even lunch yet man." Will whispers begrudgingly with his southern accent.

The look of disappointment in his eyes sends a wave of shame through your body. He knows he gets me with that look every time. You know he's right but at the same time.. selfishly you can't stop yourself.

You chuckle and respond "Hey man when duty calls duty calls" as you get up and head for the corporate bathroom. As you get up though Will puts his hand on your arm in a consoling fashion and looks you in the eye.

"Look man this has got to stop. You can't keep doing this and not expect for it to come out one day man. You know i'd never say anything but think about what this'll to your family if this shit gets out." he says in a stern but concerned whisper. " It ain't worth it brother."

You know he's right. But you just can't control yourself.

"It's not that big of a deal. You're the only one that knows so as long as you don't say anything no one will ever know." It's almost like you are trying to convince yourself of that reality.

Will sighs and puts down his arm and let's you walk off. You quickly make your way in to the restroom and take the handicap stall. While in there you take a funny snapshot of your genitals as a response to your playful minx of a secretary but end up sending it to Lucy instead.

You curse at your stupidity and begin to panic. However that panic is replaced with anxiety as you hear the main bathroom door creak open and the sounds of heels clacking against the tiles. Step by step until they are outside your stall. With a push of a door she stands before you with a pair of beautiful blue lust filled eyes.

Just as she opens the door to the stall your phone begins buzzing. It's a call from Lucy.

Lily enters the stall and then sits in your lap facing you with her legs spread apart so that you are only inches apart, she gently rubs your shoulders as she brings her head to the side of your neck and whispers "Answer it."
>>
>>4406238

As if under a spell you answer the phone

"Heyyy Honey I just got out this boring executive mee-" you try to sound as normal as possible but are cut off

"Oh my god CHRIS!Baby you need to get home NOW!Leave the office right NOW!"

Shocked by this sudden wave of urgency you respond "Woah sweetie are you alright? What's going on?"

You immediately check your messages to see if you missed something and sure enough you did. She texted you to go to home depot and pick up stuff to prepare for a storm. Wierd?

"Honey? What's going on? Why are you crying?" you say confused and concerned as you try to piece together whats going on.

"I'm sorry.. ok give me a second" she says as she pause for a few moments

"Take all the time you need sweetheart." you say to try and comfort her. Meanwhile lily is nibbling on your earlobe among other things to draw your attention away.

Lucy then proceeds to explain the entire situation and everything that's happened today. She manage to hold it together relatively well and deliver the news successfully.

"Ok." you say trying to make yourself sound calm and collected. Lily is driving you nuts however but at the same time what Lucy is telling you sounds nuts. "I believe you. I'll leave the office right now. I would try to pick up Celeste but if what you said about traffic is true it'll be worse here in downtown.Do you still want me to stop by the hardware store? It's on the way home but if you don't want me to risk it i'll come straight home. You tell me." you say as have to bite your cheek to keep from making excess noises.

"I-I... yes. If you can, stop by there.But QUICKLY grab some nails and boards but if ANYTHING seems off or has even a SLIGHT possibility of going wrong you come straight home. Ok..? Just PLEASE be careful.You have to come home to me.Because I can't... lose you." you hear her try to hold back tears.

Immediately what you are doing hits you. And you feel terrible. You stop lily and then respond "Alright, I'll see what I can do. I'll be careful, no unnecessary risks. Don't worry. I'm coming home to you babe. I love you." you say as your heart begins to crack.

"I love you too" and with that the call ends.

Lily leans back and looks at you with genuine concern. "Is everything ok?"

You look back to her. She's so young...so beautiful... so full of life... she reminds you so much of how Lucy was back then. You know that's partly what drew you too her in the first place but sometimes reality just hits you. You know what you are doing his wrong. You know your wife needs you right now and yet these carnal desires hold so much sway over you. You know you need to leave right now but do you have the will power to end things with Lily? Can you end this before it becomes worse? Do you even really want to? You ask yourself all of these things before deciding...

Lily runs her hands through your hair like she normally does to calm you down. But this time you gently grab her wrists and bring them down to your sides. You look her in the eyes as she looks at you with those gorgeous eyes filled with confusion and concern. You know what you need to do.

"Hey Lil, I need to go. Lucy sounds like she's in trouble and needs me home right now." You say as you slowly rise from the toilet with her lifting herself from your lap. She shakes your grip from her wrists and grasps both your hands, interlocking fingers. You stand around 6 inches taller than her so you look down upon her. When she interlocks fingers with her you look down at her, she looks up at you.

"Are you sure you don't have a few minutes to spare?" She says as she closes her eyes and goes in for a kiss.

It takes everything you have in you to turn your head away from her. "I can't... Lil" You say as you untangle your fingers, turn around and head out of the stall. You can't bring yourself to look at her while you do this. You know she would just suck you right back in. "I'm sorry.." you mutter as you leave the bathroom.

As you exit the bathroom you see Will standing outside the meeting room just ending a call before you two meet eyes. He slips his phone in his suit jacket before giving you his notorious head shake.

"Goddamn man, you can't control yourself can you." He says looking at your neck. "How old are you?"

You look at him with a pure WTF are you talking about face. He pulls out his phone and snaps a pic and shows you exactly what he's talking about. It seems while you were on the phone you were to distracted by the phone call you didn't notice the hickey Lily left.

"Son of a bitch..." You mutter to yourself. As you feel over the bruised skin

Will rubs his jaw in annoyance before saying "Look man that was Amy, she says there's this big ass storm outside and that she is picking up a bunch of the kids at the high school and bringing them back to the neighborhood. She needs me to go pick up the little ones at the elementary and middle school uptown and bring them back early as well."

"Actually I got a similar call just now from Lucy, she said she wanted me to go down to Home Depot and pick up some nails and stuff for the house in case its damaged from a big storm that's going to hit." you say

Will's eye light up "Hey man you wanna come with me to pick up the kids? I've only got my sedan with me so i can't fit that many kids in my car but if you follow me that extra room can be used for the other neighbors kids easy. Would save me from having to make a second trip up there in storm." he say in a mockingly inviting tone

"I don't know man Lucy was really clear that I needed to hit Home Depot. But she also said I should be careful because of some monster or something. And that everyone was acting crazy, like black Friday crazy" You say not sure of what to do
>>
>>4406362

"Alight man look, if you help me pick up these kids we can Home Depot together and have double the space to bring stuff back and plus I've got your back if shit flies sideways." He says with a pleading grin "Come on man, whaddya say?"

>>4406428
I didn't get to participate this time but it was great from what I see. I am a bit worried about the transformations from a narrative standpoint since it could remove the tension of a looming threat that makes these opening chapters so good.

>>4408570
That was a really dumb choice on his part considering that she gave him a hickey. She's clearly TRYING to get caught so that he's forced to stay with her when we kick him out. The eldritch apocalypse has a good chance of saving his ass from being caught, but all the trouble he was gonna get into when word gets out is way less of a problem than dealing with everything going on atm.

That goofy ass grin gets you every time "Alright man I've got your back" you say as you deliver a swift hard punch to his shoulder just for shits and giggles "but hey we have to hit home depot after alright? None of your "gaTTa gEt BaCk tO thE faMiLy bUd." leave it to beaver bullshit. " you joke in a mocking tone

Will rubs his arm to comfort the pain of your punch but smiles and says "Fuck you and your "gAttA dOg ouT oVeR evERy piEcE of aSs" what're you in highschool bullshit, try not fuck the cashier that rings us up when we get there bud."

You both are silent for a few seconds but can't help but break out into a laugh. "Asshole" you both say simultaneous as you walk out into the parking garage together idly chatting along the way.

As you reach the parking garage you and will part ways to find each others vehicles. "I'll wait near the exit for you bud, follow me after." He says leaving you on your floor.

With Will gone you begin your search for your car. The garage is completely full yet empty at the same time, every step you take creates loud and long echoes that fill the air. Most of the employees haven't left yet so everyone and their mothers cars are still here.

After a short search for your car finally find it! Walking up to it you come across a notorious sight not too far away. A shaking parked car, pretty hard you'd say. Lewd thoughts enter your mind immediately. You're pretty sure you can hear muffed grunts from where you're standing. The windows are entirely fogged apart from several hand prints left by whoever is in there. "Thank god someone's having a good day" You chuckle and think to yourself and keep walking.

You leave the happy couple from your thoughts and enter your red Lexus 2 door, buckle up and start the engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA begins playing from your cell phone's bluetooth into the cars speakers.

You smirk as you grab your sunglasses, fix your rear view mirror, turn it all the way up, and begin pulling out while dramatically (and terribly)singing along.

As you look into the rear view mirror you notice something really weird. The car that was shaking before has stopped. Not only that but the door the passenger side has been ripped off and is embedded in the next car, almost like it was kicked out from within. You can't tell for certain but some sort liquid is slowly dripping from vehicle... there's even a small trail leading away... almost like footprints but not quite. "What the hell?" you mutter to yourself

Your rear view investigation ends however when you see Clay, one of the security guards, walking from the upper floor about to begin his patrol of this one.

>Forget what you saw and leave it to clay. You're in hurry anyways

>Get out and tell clay what you saw.(Investigation) You're in a hurry but someone could be hurt. Plus you want to know what fuck happened.

Pressed for time you fully back out and head for the ramp to the next lower floor. You pull up to Clay to give him a heads up about what you saw.

Clay is an African American man with a small Afro, thick mustache, well-built body, and a very friendly attitude. You've only spoken to clay a handful of times but the times you have were pretty pleasant. You learned that he is ex-military, has a small family, is a god-fearing red-blooded Patriot, and lover of the second amendment. He's invited to grab a beer with him but you haven't taken him up on it yet.

"Hey Clay, how you been?" you greet as you pull up to him and roll down your window.

"Hey Chris, I'm doing good. You heading out already?" He asks as he reaches out to shake your hand.

You give him a firm handshake and a warm smile "Yeah the missus called and said there was a big storm heading this way so she wants me to grab some stuff from the store. But hey listen I just saw something really weird back there. Looks like someone or something kicked out a door so hard it's embedded into the next car and I'm not sure but I saw something liquid dripping from the car, it could've been blood but again I didn't check it out." You lean out of your window and point out the trail you saw earlier to him." I'm pressed for time right now so I've gotta go but I thought I should give you a head's up. I know it sounds insane"

Clay at the mere mention of trouble put his hands on his hips, one hand on his Glock19, the other on his handheld radio. " Don't worry about sounding crazy, Thanks for the head's up, I appreciate it. I'll go take a look right now. You should probably head out just in case its something serious. Don't want to get you caught up in it and end up hurt. Take it easy Chris." he gives you a friendly smile and shakes your hand once again. After that he quickly looks back and scans the trail from a distance. Apparently seeing something he doesn't like he pulls his Glock from it's holster along with his radio.

With that you roll your windows up and begin to make your way down the ramp to the first floor. While making your way through the parking lot floors you only get down a single floor before you hear the distinct sounds of 3 gunshots from the upper floors. Panic creeps into your chest and you slam the brakes for a second as you try to wrap your head around what could have happened for clay to have used his weapon.

4 four more shots ring out that slap you back to reality. You immediately take your foot off the brake and speed down through the lot. You finally make it to the ground floor, 8 shots rang out as you made your way down, he emptied a full clip up there. What ever is happening you need to get out of here.

You spot Will in his white Ford Focus waiting for you. He spots you and makes a phone signal with his fingers. You use your Bluetooth to call him through your call.

"Hey! Did you just hear those gunshots?!" You yell with panic cemented in your voice

"Yeah man, what the fuck happened?! Weren't ya just up there?"

"Yeah I just left Clay up there, I'm pretty sure it's him that's shooting."

"Well look man, if there's a shooting going that's all the more reason for us to get out of here."

He's right. You can't help but worry about what happened to clay. But you know you can't afford to stay and find out.

"Your right. Let's get the hell out of here."

With that Will pulls in front of you and you follow him out of the parking lot.

As you pull out of the parking lot the sun bathes you in its light. However the warm touch of the sun is the only bright thing about the situation. The streets are absolutely packed. Bumper to bumper traffic plagues the road. Car horns blaring fill the air with constant noise.

Not only are the roads filled but the sidewalks are filled as well. People seem to be running in a panic from something to the south. Your car shakes from the amount of people that shove past the front of your car. Will's car is like a rock between a river of pedestrians. Curious you look in the direction and find the source of all the chaos. A few miles away a black clouds with a sheet of torrential rain and lighting bolting around beneath it. Infused withing the black clouds is strands of blue looking energy, like veins on of power flowing through a storm of terror.

Still on the call with Will you hear him say " Holy shit.... Are you seeing this?"

"Yeah...."

"Look I know it looks bad but traffic hasn't completely stopped yet. If we are careful I think we can snake our way up the road without having to interact with this insane crowd. Most of the cars in the road have been abandoned so we can even bully our way through if need be, though if we piss of the wrong guy we could find ourselves with a whole new problem. That being said we can just as easily get caught in the road and traffic and waste a lot of time that we could save by just ditching our cars now. It's a lot more dangerous but faster. Also if we do go on foot should we follow the crowd or try to navigate the back streets? I'm not too familiar with this side of town so we could get lost but we wouldn't be tied to that giant mob. Look getting to that school is all that matters to us, so how do you want to do this?"

>What do you want to do?

>Attempt to snake your way through traffic. Safe but slow, chance of being trapped

>Bully your way through traffic. Somewhat dangerous but effective if successful, chance of pissing someone off

>Abandon your cars now and make your way uptown on foot with the crowd. Dangerous but fast. The danger but also security of a crowd

>Abandon your cars now and try to make your way through the back streets. Dangerous and potentially fast. The danger but also security of solitude

"I say we bully our way through, we try to snake it and get caught we'll lose too much time and that storm will catch up to us." You say in a determined.

Will chuckles "Alright man, let's get it done." he says as he slams the horn of his car and inches forward. The river of people surrounding his car slowly part as he makes his way onto the road.

Following the same pattern you lay down the horn and inch forward.

After a desperate two minutes of battling for inches you and will finally make it onto the road completely.

"Alright man, I'm ganna start pushing for ground you follow close behind alright, don't fall too behind cuz I can't stop once I start."

"I got it, I'm following you" you say as you tighten your grip on the steering wheel.

And so begins the road battle. Two vs Two hundred.

Will starts by signaling left and inching towards it. The driver makes the mistake of not letting him pass and Will slams him for it forcing his way into the lane. You immediately snake behind him before the car can get it's revenge.

Next Will begins climbing into the middle division of the road that separate the North and Southbound lanes. The Southbound lanes going towards the storm aren't as full and thus still have vehicles moving at a decent pace. Half in and Half out Will starts slamming into cars in front of him forcing them to either scooch right and let him pass or be shoved forward.

For the most part it works! He slams his way through most of the lane while you snake behind him. His Ford Focus's front end takes one hell of a beating but the two of you are making great time and head way considering the street is jam packed.

"Holy shit cowboy you're actually doing it!" you exclaim

"Hey man, When I say let's go I mean LET'S GO buddy!" You says as you both break out into a hearty laugh. You hear him tap his steering wheel through the phone "She may not be pretty no more but she is a helluva fighter."

"We'll get to that school in no time, hopefully before whatever storm that was."

You're actually starting to believe that. You can hardly believe this is working.

However trouble begins to brew when others begin copying wills strategy.

Seeing his success people that haven't abandoned their cars begin adopting Wills aggressive strategy. They all begin slamming into each other to try and move forward.

As you are following Will on his warpath you are completely blindsided when a mini Van that Will slammed and you just snaked in front of waits a few seconds for space in front it clear and then comes from behind and rams you with full force.

Your head slams on the steering wheel and then the airbags slam you back. You black out.

Soccer mom just gave Chris a concussion. Damn.
>>
>>4410678

The ringing in your ear bring you back as you groggily begin to wake up. Your eyes blearily begin to open and all you can see is the white from the airbags stuffed in your face.

You weakly attempt to use your arms to push the airbags out of your way but find yourself unable to. Just as you are about try again you feel a pair of hands grab and pull you with great force.

You find yourself laying on your back looking up at the sky.The natural clouds have gone grey, not filled with rain or strong winds yet but you can tell the storm has gotten closer. Your sky watching ends early As Will's face pops into view.

His face is filled with worry as he yells down at you with concern. But you can't hear anything other than the ringing. That is until Will delivers a powerful slap to your face and all your auditory senses explode awake. Car alarms, car horns, people shouting, etc.

"Chris? Hey man don't go fucking poo brain on me!" Will says as he grips your face and shakes you

Before you can respond the person from the Mini van shows themselves and makes their way too you both. Out of the corner of your eye you see her coming

Long curly ginger hair tied into a ponytail, pale skin, a freckled but soft face, and an athletically built woman comes over to you both and says

"Are you both insane?!? You could've fucking killed me and my daughter! Everyone was doing fine waiting their turns and being DECENT fucking people despite that storm coming until you two idiots started turning the road into demolitia!! You think we all don't have somewhere to be?!!? What makes you so fucking special that you can just slam into any and everyone in front of you?!?" she yells at the top of her lungs turning her face from pale to bright red.

Will looks like he is at a loss for words.

You feel a bit of strength come back and you prop yourself up a bit with one arm.You look up at the woman and it looks like she is about to unleash another barrage of words at you.

>How do you want to respond/What do you wanna do?

Looking up at the woman about to unleash a verbal assault upon you all you can do is feel your blood boil.

The audacity of this woman. Who does she think she is?

You feel an ember of rage flicker to life inside you. This crazy bitch almost killed you. Hell she could have killed her own kid.

The chaos around you grows as more and more people spill into he road to run in panic from the direction of the storm. More people begin abandoning their cars, other people are assaulting people for their cars, some are even just assaulting random people for you don't know what but none of it matters to you. All that matters is the woman in front of you.

Before the woman can say anything you feel the ember grow into a flame and that flame ignites you to speak up

"We weren't trying to kill anyone like you were you crazy bitch. Real responsible for your daughter when you gun it straight into the car ahead of you. Yeah you're so worried about your precious little angel that you won't just get outta the way if you're so "decent". "Oh no he bumped my car and shoved it, I better try to liquefy this guy's insides. That'll teach them to be good huh honey?" fucking ridiculous. Get back in your overgrown Prius you fucking psychopath. Not all of us have our entire family in their car with them right now."

The woman looks dumbfounded , stunned.

You look over at Will and he looks just as stunned as the woman.

Suddenly that flame inside you begins growing. You look around at the chaos and the sight of it all and it cause the flame to explode into an inferno.

"I should teach this bitch a lesson. Show her some fucking discipline. I should smash her fucking face into the pavement rip her fucking yoga pants off and RAP-"

Immediately you stop yourself. The inferno extinguishes in a split second. These aren't your thoughts. Where the fuck did that come from? What the fuck just happened. Why did that happen?

"Let's go Will." You say calmly. Wanting this whole situation to be over with

With the tension broken Will seemingly Snaps out of it "O-Okay man. Let's get you out of here." he says as he begins to help you up

The woman goes from a dumbfounded and stunned look to one of pure rage. Except instead of acting upon that rage she takes a deep breathe, turns around and begins walking back to her car.

"Jesus man, you ripped that lady a new one. Are you good?" Will asks in a concerned tone.

"Yeah I don't know what came over me. I mean that lady deserved some it but I think I went a little too far. My thoughts were worse." You humbly admit.

"Remind me never to slam my car into you." He says jokingly. You both chuckle the nervousness out of your system in spite of the raging mania around you

As will helps you get to his Ford Focus a distinct loud click comes from behind you. Both you and will instinctively turn to find the barrel of a .357 Magnum in your faces. And the ginger woman behind it.

Sorry for the radio silence boys, I'll be back tomorrow around 11:00 or 12:00 CST in the afternoon again to finish up the episode!

Also I was going to implement Epilogues or (Perspective peeks) since perspective changes like this episode aren't going to happen frequently and we'll be returning to a Lucy only format next episode. So I figure to give me something to work on why don't you guys just vote now on who you want to be featured in the epilogue. Clay got a little love from you guys so i figured I'd add him in if y'all were curious about his fate, I added Lily in case you wanted to get a peek into how she took Chris's brush off and if there's anything you should be worried about, and finally the ??Mystery?? Is someone that is going to be making an appearance very soon in Lucy's perspective.

>>4412178
Don't really care about Lily too much. She's probably a horrible person that tends to be the type to get everyone killed.
Unless that was the influence of the tear making her act that way today.
>Clay
Clay seems interesting enough. He's gonna basically be trying to find a way to defend the building while also having to put up with whatever dumbassery the tear puts everyone up to.
Mystery is tempting. It could give us a view of what's going on back at the suburbs.

I kinda wonder how it was so damn easy to open a tear. If the thing wasn't lying and that was really the first time in aeons, then that seemed super easy to do if a dumb teenager could do it. Was there some sort of secret society (societies?) stopping these tears that finally blew it for the first time today? And if the veil can be torn open, can it be stitched closed again?

Your heart fills with dread as it sinks into your stomach. You feel the color drain from your face. The barrel of the revolver grows a mile long before you as you try to wrap your head around the fact that it all might be over.

That is until Will's hand shoots out in front of you and grabs the ginger woman's wrist. Your focus shifts from the the barrel of the revolver the face of the woman. She looks devoid of sanity, her eyes appear normal but you can FEEL the distance. She's not there, something else is driving. It's like looking like at someone that's fallen into an abyss within themselves and they are being piloted by whoever pushed them in.

Will grabs the woman's wrist and points it to the sky.

Bang!

The revolver fires a shot that was should've gone through your skull.

The woman uses her other hand to grab will by the throat. Will grabs her arm to get her release but both just end up in a tug of war.

Both end up wrestling each other to ground a few feet in front of you. The gun clatters to the floor in front of you. The woman is on top of will attempting to get her hands back around her throat but Will is able to keep her hands at bay but only barely, you see him struggling with all of his might.

Your eyes as they go to follow Will are caught at the sight of a little curl haired ginger girl in the minivan the woman was in crying and banging against the window at her mother. Her little head has been cut and she has a few bruise from what you can see. With all the people running around you all not one stops to help or watch. You look at those people and it's like they've devolved into a primitive state, like they are just animals relying on their most inner instincts. Like everyone is just running on fight or flight instincts with a hint of insanity. You just stare at the blue of animals passing by in disbelief of the situation

Will's voice brings you back to what's going on

"Hey man, get this lady off of me!!!!" he yells, begging for you to do something "I don't know she's on but I can't keep this up! Do something!!"

You aren't sure what to do. You could just grab the gun and end her. She did try to kill you both. You could try and choke her out, put her to sleep, knock her out, etc and leave for the school right now. Although with all the chaos going on leaving a woman unconscious in the streets of this could be worse than a death sentence. And she has that kid. Leaving her alone in this again would be worse than a death sentence, she hasn't done anything wrong. You could knock her out and take her and the kid with you. She wouldn't be subjected tot he horror of the streets but you'd lose seats meant for the kids you are trying to pick up and theirs no guarantee the woman won't wake up normal. Maybe it's best to just put the woman out of her misery now and take the kid so she doesn't have to be alone in all of this.

You need to make a decision now.

>What do you do?

Put her in a blood choke. Get the sides of her neck and really squeeze. She'll go out like a light after a few seconds and then we can stuff her back in her car without the gun and fuck off. She'll come back after ten or twenty seconds and have to reorient so we should have enough time to start moving so she can't just come after us again. Also lock her car door so she'll have to take a little more time to get out of her van if she does want to start shit with someone else.

>>4413616

Adrenaline flushes through your veins and you immediately jump on the woman's back and put your arm around her neck. You don't know exactly what you are doing, going purely based off of what you've seen in movies and TV, but you secure your arm around her neck as best you can with the milliseconds of time you have and proceed to just squeeze until she stops moving.

The woman flails violently try to break free forcing you to stand up and bang yourself into your car back first but you hold on to her as best you can after just having been in an accident. It's only a matter of seconds before her movements slow to a halt.

Once she is limp in your arms you drop her in exhaustion.

Will is picking himself back up trying to comprehend what just happened.

"What the fuck just happened?" he says as he rubs his throat passively alleviating the phantom pain of the woman's clutches

You are no longer running in your normal mind, adrenaline and survival are all the you feel right now. Everything else is numb.

"I don't know what the fuck is going on but we can't stay here! Help me load her into her car so we can get out of here!"

"But wait man we can't just leave her in her own car while shes like this man. What if she wakes up and starts chasing us? Or if she hurts that little girl? What if we just tak-"

"Will, man we can't do this right now! Our families are waiting for us! Your kid is waiting at that school right now waiting for his dad in all of this! If you're worried about her chasing after us we can take the keys from the ignition, we can shoot out her tires, my car is fucked and in the way and there's probably way more obstacles between US and HER. We can do whatever you need to sate you conscious but we need to go NOW."

"But the kid Chris..."

"I DON'T CARE, we need to get back to our own kids, our own wives! We need to look out for them and ourselves right now."

Will looks down at the woman in pity. You can tell he is having a moment of serious inner conflict. But he doesn't have the time to fight with his conscious, to fully accept what he knows he must do. He responds with a heavy heart and pain strained voice.

"Alright man. Let's do it"

And with that it's almost like a montage of you guys picking the woman up and putting her in the farthest seat in the back of her mini van. The little girl just runs to her mom and asks her too wake up and clings the her shirt. Will can't seem to handle the sight and forces himself to walk away, back to his car.

Not finished you search the woman's pocket while the girl is on her mom and take her keys. You hide them in the glove compartment and lock the doors before closing them. You are about to say something to the little girl but she is just screaming for her mom to wake up, you know it wouldn't do any good. The woman will regain consciousness any second now and it'll all be fine.

With that you groggily walk back to your car holding your head as the adrenaline wanes a bit.

Family First Badge Unlocked

Unknown Relationship point change

You reach your car and realize that of course it's in a wreck and move on to Chris's. You must've hit you're head pretty hard.

You get into through the passenger side door and buckle up. You look over at Will and he's just staring in the rear view mirror.

"Will, we need to go." You say softly

Will sighs deeply and adjusts the mirror. He puts the car in drive and slowly takes off.

You look out the window and see that it's starting to rain. The clouds have grown darker and the wind is picking up. It's only just started but you know that storm is getting closer. Your safe for now however.

What proceeds is a silent car ride of snaking through traffic, people, and abandoned cars. 20 minutes of silence later and you finally reach the elementary school.

Cars are parked everywhere and you're surprised to see people running into and out of the school. Everything is relatively calm but of course panic is still apparent just no where near the level of the streets back downtown.

Will parks his car and you both get out and enter the school. You pass people hugging and holding their kids telling them not to be scared constantly. Seeing all the kids bright faces is such a sharp contrast to before that its refreshing.

Eventually you make it to the third grade homeroom class and Will's son bolts for his dad as soon as he see's him. Will drops to his knees and embraces his son completely, holding him like he is afraid to let go. Will lets a few tears fall down his cheeks as he just holds his son and let him babble about how cool the storm looked and how everyone was scared but he wasn't. Will just holds him.

You look out and see a few kids that belong to other neighbors in the community and ask the teacher to release them to you. The teacher knows your wife very well and given the circumstances she turns the children over to you.

With all the kids safe and secure you tell will that's time to go.

He nods in understatement and releases his kid.

You all make your way outside to the car and decide that since there's only 3 seats and 6 kids you explain to them that they are going to have to sit in each others laps.

Luckily the kids find the idea hilarious and fun as they all climb in and fight over who gets a seat and who gets a lap.

You chuckle and shut the door behind them. As you are about to get in on your side of the car you end up peering out to the city and see that the storm has finally covered it and the surrounding area. A wall of heavy fog thick enough to be smoke blocks the view of the outside the city. Almost like a smoky border meant to keep anyone from going in or out. A scary thought. You look back towards the school and see the giant lake behind it. Aurora City lake in its sparkling beauty. You wonder how long it'll take the storm to reach this far. You wonder if that fog will include the lake.

All these thought flood your mind but only one sticks as you look back at the city and the bizarre and deadly storm shrouding it.

"I need to get back to my family. I need to get back to Lucy. I need to survive what ever is going on. For them. It was easy making it up here. But it's going to be hell going back. But I'd cross hell itself to get back to them. And I'm ready."

I'm speaking way too late, but we totally could have just called the woman's family on her phone to come pick her daughter up.
>>
>>4414100
That depends a lot on the phone. Also it's a time sink.
>>
>>4414160
It's not THAT big of a sink after we use the thumbprint. It's just a normal storm to us. Whatever clock we're racing is a few hours instead of a few minutes to not leave a little girl trapped in a car with a psychomaniac during a storm for several hours.
>>
>>4414172
That's assuming it's a thumbprint reading phone. Also even if you did call or text someone what difference would it make? "Hey yeah I choked out your wife and now I'm texting you to tell you to come down to the clogged highway to pick up your daughter because your wife was going full schizophrenic. Cheers." even if the person you're contacting buys it how are they going to get here briskly before ginger snaps again?
>>
>>4414329
Call, Say the wife tried to shoot us in road rage, ask if it's ok to drop the kid off at an elementary school or police station instead of next to the mother that's probably high on drugs or something. You're going into apocalypse survival mode way too fast man.
>>
>>4414337
At the end of the day we can't save everyone. We have to choose and family/friends comes first.
>>
>>4414390
I'm going to point out once again that we as a character think its a mundane storm and not the next coming of Cthulhu.
>>
>>4414437
Our wife is panicking and talking crazy so you want to take a detour when she may be having a mental break of some kind. When your wife calls and says "Yo there's some shit and I'm worried" even if she isn't talking about crazy shit you get your ass home. Even if it's a normal storm if she's thinking it may be a super bad storm that's all the reason we need to make sure everything is secure. Mundane or not a storm can fuck your day up. And we looked back at the clouds and saw some weird blue shit in them in addition to lightning and big rain. That's kinda unusual innit. And even still if you want to keep pushing the issue, people are running away full tilt from the area, so people are in hysterics, panicky people can break into a home and murderfuck the residents so yeah there's no reason not to hurry on home as best we can.
>>
It's a shitty situation, but we did what we had to, our best friend was getting messed up and we had to act fast. moreover, we have to get home to our wife who called us about all the nightmare fuel that is happening, was what we did right, I don't know, was it necessary, you bet your ass it was.

There are no right and wrong answers, good or bad ends, just you're choices and the rewards or consequences that come with them

I deliberately put out hard choices in this episode to see how you wanted to paint Chris, A husband that has been cheating on his wife because he can't control his inner demons and actively leans on his friend for moral support to keep doing what he is doing despite knowing what he is doing is awful. You don't have to play every character the same, Chris isn't as empathetic to others as he is to his family, but Lucy might be (She accepted an old god's gift to protect her family and friends, Yikes).

Again i put out these choices to see which of the 5 badges Chris could've gotten and you guys thoroughly earned the Family First badge. I don't think anything you guys have done choice wise has been meta breaking or plot gaming so I'm glad to see that. It'd be a different story if y'all weren't using logic but y'all have been so hey if family first means you have to make sacrifices when it comes to other people you're going to do it, that's Chris's defined play-style now when you aren't controlling him.

All true and pretty much cement why you got that badge

Also true but it could honestly go either way, but I like that it inst a monolith of opinions and hope you don't feel discouraged from speaking from the other side

Anyways off my soap box

>Next episode when

Probably next Friday around 6 or 7 CST in the evening!

>>4414437
That actually backs up what we did. Leaving the woman inside the car in a storm with her daughter is the reasonable thing to do. After all she pulled the gun on us first. We don't know that she'll go mad again because we don't know what the storm actually is.
>>
>>4414649
Eh. I figured if anything it would be a 'We totally could have done that and didn't think of that" moment later.

New thread or here?
