Ingame
You are inside the basement-hallway of Pridmore Way School. It is dark. From somewhere, something hums loudly. Also here is Jen (47HP).
- You start from the beginning, which seems sensible to you. The explanation goes as a heavily abridged version to you, and the full version to Jen. You have no need to know what you already know. In the breaks of your story Jen offers little questions. Most of the time she merely stares at you in the dark.
When you describe the house you came across shortly after washing ashore, you have trouble making sense of it. The memories are vague and when you do grasp something definite of what you experienced there, you cannot convert it to words. You say the house was haunted. Jen says getting spooked is common, but what you experienced is something else.
When you were out on the streets, you thought you were lucky that no dead were present. You could have accidentally picked the empty streets. You tell Jen this, and she says they normally sleep.
You explain the events at Crew Avenue Police Department, meeting Totes, radioing for help, attracting the dead—and then Volker finding you, and being lead a safe way out. You explain that Volker killed Totes, that an organism which had been inside him transferred to her. Jen finds this terrifying. You are depressed by it; you preferred to have her along; you would have introduced this person you found to the group.
You hear what Jen has to say.
Since your last turn:
- • Jen says "Well, I'm glad you made it." (1 minute ago)
- • Jen says "You seem awfully lucky—I mean, not so much with what happened, but how you got out of it." (1 minute ago)
- • Jen says "I think most of the people who are out to do you harm are gone now, but it's probably the same with those who'd do you good." (52 seconds ago)
- • Jen says "Maybe it works out evenly. Good for us that both of us are one of the good." (40 seconds ago)
- • Jen says "Poor Totes. Poor Volker." (30 seconds ago)
- • Jen says "You had to tell me the bad parts of your story, didn't you? I'm going to be bummed-out for a while now." (22 seconds ago)
- • 28.63 MHz: *static* (19 seconds ago)
- • Jen says "So that's everything, then?" (13 seconds ago)
- • Jen says "I suppose it's my turn to tell you what happened on our end." (5 seconds ago)
Possible actions:
- "I'd like that." "Did anything bad happen?"
Inventory:
- You carry a knife; a journal and a notebook; a bloodied radio and a flare gun. You have a shotgun (2), a pistol (12) and three spare magazines inside your vest pouches. You are wearing a tactical vest, blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of shoes.
