There’s a broken bowl on the floor, and the little shelf next to the couch got knocked over. You are trying to charge at Geoff, but something is holding you back.

You: “Fuckin bitch ASS DOG!”

You: “I’ll break your GOD DAMN NOSE fuckin faggot!”

Naz: “CHUCK!”

Selma: “Grab him!”

Naz: “CHILL!”

Geoff: “I’m sorry man! I’m sorry!”

Geoff rubs his aching hand and backs up.

Geoff: “I don’t know what got into me! I’m sorry!”


a) break his nose
b) leave

You will only do one of these two things right now.

>being held back by Naz and Selma, the Nerd Crew

Now who's weak?

B) Leave. Today, you made Geoff a MAN.

Leave, you hysterical idiot. Learn to take it instead of dishing it out for once.

Respect, Chuck. You called Geoff out, and he reacted like a man. You got him to man up! To grow a pair!

This is good progress. Don't go breaking his nose.

Break down and start laughing like an idiot. You sure didn't expect that to happen.

>>784447
you know what? yeah, true. Get outta here, last thing you need is to sour your night further.

We'll get him though, don't you worry chuck.

Plans are brewing.

>>784446
Fuck him up. This shall not stand.

>>784446
b, he's half out of his mind from sleep deprivation and envy.

But you sure aren't gonna go on that double date. He's on his own now. Get to the meeting.

Oh don't be such a whiny little bitch. Leave.

>>784446
>C. Stroll up to him in a faux-angry way, then say "You know what you did, and you know what to do to make it right. GET A DATE WITH LISA!"
Then we can re-equip our smug, and laugh.
>"But srsly tho, don't keep a lady waiting. I mean, Lisa is at least worth the punch you just threw me."

Stop. Check if he messed up your teeth. If so, A.

*Ahem* Sorry for the words you caught me off gaurd. You can't just blind side a guy like that.

We are going to fight now.

Leave and mend your bruised ego. Your acting like your deadbeat father right now, not cool.

>>784446
A

"I'm glad you grew some balls, but you can't just slug another man and not get slugged back! If you can dish it out, that means you can also take it! So get the fuck over here and take your lumps like a man!"

B. Just let it go, man! It's not worth the bad press.

>>784466
If we are capable do this, otherwise b

B

B.

Woulda thought you'd learned to take a punch by now, man.

Hey chill the fuck out! You were laying it on thicker than goddamned tar earlier by fucking his roommate in front of him. And to rub salt in the wound (or rather setting it on fire) you taunt him in front of a woman, you are goading someone who hasn't even stepped up the fucking plate. CHILL.

now you can have make up sex

Cool it, Chuck! This ain't what legends do. Just leave, cool off, somehow. Get outta here an clear your head. (b)

B: you brought it on yourself chill the fuck out.

And get some proper work done. Town's going to hell in a handbasket while you continue to be obsessed with banging everything in this clambake that'll fit your ceaseless wang!

Just get out of there chuck, you have better things to do than beat some dork to death even if a snake witch will just bring him back to life

Leave, bit make sure he knows he's got a knuckle sandwich coming to him later.

Dammit, not the little shelf.

You are cooler than this, Chuck. Depart for the sake of your own rep.

>>784446
b.

pfff man, that was worth it.
feel proud, you raised him well.
anyhow, leave.

>>784445
Chuck.

Dude.

Anger issues much?

>>784446
B) Listen to the nerds, Chuck. Calm yourself, and leave. Be proud of the fact you've gotten Geoff to man up! No need to escalate this further.

A) KILL GEOFF

B. You should be proud that he finally stood up for himself.

Besides what kind of wimp cant take one of his punches and shrug it off.

Leave, but get dressed if you're going outside.

B
Kinda proud of the guy. Play it cool. Maybe fake a punch on the way out and then flick his stupid dog nose or something to salvage your pride.

B. You put the FIRE OF MANHOOD in his blood. You don't need to put him in the dirt.

That being said, let him know you're going to repay that punch at a later date. No hard feelings about it, it's just fair.

>>784446
B
You totally deserved that and should be proud that Geoff actually grew a pair for once.

Seduce him.

>>784445
>>784446
HIT THE (B)RAKES!

No point in souring this thing to everyone, and ruining the chance of the double date.

Calm down and tell you went in the heat of the moment too, and compliment him for manning up, that should also boost his confidence (while making you look less like a jerk. no offense, but going by your current record, you deserved something even worse than just this).

You leave the apartment.

You could have taken him easily. He sucker punched you! That’s it! What a bitch move! You could have dragged his ass out of there with one arm and tossed him down the stairs. Easy. God damn what a punk ass bitch. Shit

There is a little bit of time left before the town meeting starts, so you might be able to drop by somewhere else before heading to the library.

>>784557
There's one punk here, and it ain't him.

Dude, maybe you could but it ain't right, you're not in the right state of mind to think about this stuff.

You got a quiet place you could just chill at for a bit while you simmer down? Like the train station or something? Assuming you don't need to do anything before the meeting.

You forgot the rope. Eh whatever. Go to the train station. Do some thinking there.

Go cool your head, Chuck, sheesh. Cold shower or go punch a tree or something. What got into you? Never struck me as a guy so fragile he'd blow up like that. That was like when girls get physically violent with each other, not a tough guy like you. How'd you ever survive dealing with other guys on the wrong side of the law, acting like that? Hell, don't you ever remember being the smaller guy who pissed off some bigger dude with an eggshell ego? Your dad, maybe?

Anyway, you left. Good. You're a smart guy and that was a smart move. Geoff's been around here longer than you have, got more friends. Kicking the crap out of him would have made you feel better for like twelve seconds and then dumped you right square in shit alley, population police attention. Nobody around here'd be impressed by that. That farm guy maybe? Still doubt it, and who cares about him anyway. You can show off your manliness by taking out those monsters, that'll make it much clearer than trashing a toothpick like Geoff.

>>784557
I don't think Geoff is the main problem here, Chuck. You've got a lot of shit on your plate and you're patience is at an all time low.
Just go cool off for a while and you'll be fine.

Know what we need right now? Booze

Extend the offer of a real fight to him later. Reassert that unhealthy masculinity.

For now, visit the train station.

You spent the afternoon boning rodents, and got run off by a lurking coyote. Prime cat behavior.

Find somewhere sunny to curl up, and complete that hat trick.

>>784557
You should find a way to settle this shit with geoff, when you cool down.

But honestly fighting or beating up Geoff is a bad idea, i mean, what do you win with this? The right to brag about beating up the everloving shit out of a scrawny kid just because he got a bit too angry at your insults.

Plus you'd get a lot of shit for it, probably more than you can weasel, seduce and explain your way around.

You need the town on your side if you ever want to put an end into the monsters, not against you. And you are already on lady luck's mercy thanks to a faulty condom.

And don't even think of fucking Lisa just so you can mock him or brag about it. Hitting geoff in the dick with a baseball bat until he couldn't possibly be classified as a male would be less of a low blow.

Either way, go find somewhere you can go to cool off. You gotta get your mind clear if you want to do anything here right.

>>784584
This right here.

Go to the train station, calm down, reflect. Punch a couple of wooden walls if you're still angry.

>>784557
Oh stop it, that's the angry talking and you know it, you were trying to get him to react, stepped a little too hard on the taunt pedal so he put his foot to the floor on punch response.
This is another win for you buddy, now get it together, don't want to have to explain why you're stomping around looking sullen to whoever notices.

>>784557
Now he owes you. He can pay you back later with a blowjob or with his butt. That'll show him who the top cat is around here.

Go loiter around the general store like a hooligan.

>>784599
This man knows where it's at
However, remember that we have not yet fucked he police officer, and if loitering's illegal for some reason in this ass-backwards town we might ruin our chances.

>>784601

Hmm, police. That's an idea. The cops must have some sort of little training room or something, right? A target dummy or two, a punching bag, couple of other things? Layla seems like she's into exercise. I bet she'd know where you could vent some rage.

Go find angela and make her sing a stupid song.

>>784599
I'm not so sure about fucking geoff or loitering, but asking for a favor is probably the best way to settle this.

Wait for things to cool off a bit (especially chuck), confront him, threaten him a bit, set the favor/condition then smooth talk the rest of it. And given his reaction to chuck's outburst it won't be that hard to coax out a favor from him.

Geoff gets out with his body still in one piece, Chuck gets his pride back (and a bonus), and we all avoid throwing pretty much all of our progress in the toilet because two idiots don't know when its too much.

Demonstrate our dominance by seducing Geoff. That's how some animal societies do it. Mount him in front of Lisa. Then mount Lisa.

Fuck! I missed the chance to tell all you betas we need to do A. We could go back and kick his ass! But nah. It's too late. I'm not mad at him for fighting, only for that cheap shot.

>>784687
As much as we need to get back on geoff for this low blow, nothing good would come from beating him up.

Beating up a sleep-deprived scrawny kid for that isn't going to do any good for your reputation.

I guess if we're not fighting and we're not fucking we should probably get to the meeting. Go back to Ramona and Sally and give them escort. We don't need another Marcie incident.

>>784557
Settle down, Chuck. You chose the better option. Yes, you could have seriously hurt him if you felt like fighting. You know you could have hurt him. He knows you could have hurt him. Naz and Selma know you could have hurt him. But you didn't have to hurt him.

You're not living in the street anymore. This isn't a place where you have to be tough and intimidating or someone will slit your throat for your pocket change. This is a small town where the people try to lead peaceful, stable lives and spend their free time having fun together. Geoff isn't a dangerous enemy who needs to learn not to mess with you, he's just a boy who made a bad decision; he was already regretting what he did when you left, not because of fear, but because he felt guilty. If you're still feeling cross with him, you can talk to him about it later.

It's good that you didn't attack him, Chuck. No one is going to think less of you for it, and you wouldn't have earned any respect by fighting him. You promised Ramona that you'd be a better person. Think of how disappointed she'd be if she heard that you'd gotten into a fight with Geoff. You wouldn't want to do that to her, would you? That's not your life anymore; you don't have to go back there. You've got a chance at something better.

Right now, you need to calm down before the meeting. Find a way to work through your aggression that doesn't involve lashing out at someone. You probably should't go to the bakery or get drunk. Maybe you could go to the library and find a book to read for a bit; it might not be all that entertaining, but it's better to be bored than angry when you get there. Or you could just go to a public place and walk in circles to work out your nervous energy.

Eh don't get too worked up about him, Chuck. All he did was open the door to himself getting punched at a later date. He will get his, and it'll be funny too.

y'all got some fragile-ass egos i tell ya what

maybe check in on the plaths c:

Come to think of it, fucking Lisa would be the ultimate way to get back at Geoff. Yeah… yeah! It’s flawless. You can’t un-fuck her so there’s no way Geoff would get back at you for that. You can’t see any problems with this line of thinking.

You leave the strange little apartment complex and go to the north side of town to the train station.

You climb the old, creaking steps onto the platform, and a steady wind picks up at your back. No birds call from the distant woods, no oncoming train, and no tortoise. It is a relaxing place to think, but at the same time you feel taunted by the outside world, as if it is wryly whispering no one, no thing is out here.

Rita: “You come up here too, huh?”

You: “SH”

Your heart skips at least a beat.

You: “Oh, hey.”

You: “Yeah. Sometimes.”

Rita: “It’s awful quiet, isn’t it? Feels like I’m the only one who ever does…”

Rita: “Feels like my special spot.”

Rita: “Sometimes.”

Dick the dag.

You know what would be another way to get back at Geoff? Fucking his sister.

Tell her it's nice, but it also makes you keenly aware of how you can never leave the town.

Laugh your terror off and agree. Ask if she ever feels like you do about the taunting thing and nothing else being out there.

>>785169
This

>>785182
Agreed.

>>785169
his sister and Lisa cause we were going to do that anyway!!

Come to think of it, you are unemployed, and working with Marcie again is out of the question. Ask if she is hiring. It will be an easy way to get closer to her as well, and still get to talk to people during a delivery run.

>>785169
That's the plan, after all. Bring up the possibility of inviting her to a "friendly lunch" with "some of Geoff's friends".

DUDE! THE TOWN MEETING!

I mean you can flirt with Rita a little but get yourself over to city hall! (And escort Rita)

Begin slow roll.

Learn about why she comes here, learn what's hard in her life right now. Listen to how much she misses hanging out with Geoff. Then deploy date plan when applicable.

In some ways, the best thing we can do here is not act attracted to her.

>>785163
Well, that is a plan, but i still feel its not the best course of action. I mean, she just told you she had a massive crush on geoff, and her tactics are beggining to border the line between stuble and wearing a goddamn neon sign that says "fuck me geoff!". Plus she was the only woman in town to out-sass you, so your seduction powers aren't 100% effective.

On a side note its a good thing you didn't attack geoff if you want to go on that plan, or else your chances with lisa would probably go from reasonably low to "You'd have a better chance at robbing a bank buck naked and armed with nothing but a comically undersized dildo. And that while your dick is stuck in a jar full of carolina reaper sauce."

On the other hand, fucking his sister (like >>785169 said) is a much better idea. None of the cons/problems of the "fuck lisa" plan, plus its guaranteed to hit close to home.

I'd vote for fucking the sister. Just make sure you get condoms that work. You want to get back at him, not become his brother in law.

Cripes what the heck is wrong with you guys?

Don't immediately revenge-bang geoff's sister, chuck.

You are REGRESSING into the angry bank robber jerkface that jumped off of a town to escape the authorities before you got stuck here.

Do you want to be that kind of person to Ramona? To the snayor?

>>785324
You say that like he ever stopped being the bank robber that jumped off the train and started schmoozing all the ladies.

TOWN MEETING

escort dogcop there, be chatty and possibly flirtatious on the way

>>785324

Chuck isn't totally in our control, here, especially when he's still coming down off the rage. We gotta wean him off the idea of revenge-fucking Lisa by gradually downgrading him to slightly less terrible ideas one after the other. By the time he'd be able to actually succeed in any plan to fuck Rita, he'd be calm enough again for us to do better.

Basically, we need to be aware of Chuck's emotional state and appeal to him to be as good as it's possible for him to be at the time, he'll just ignore or refuse any suggestions beyond that.

Clearly fucking Geoff's sister is the best option. Worrying about the how is for later.

Ugh, gotta get to that town meeting. Think about revenge options along the way, yea? Get some extra time, come up with a variety of things rather than going with the first thing!

>>785331
Rita's maildoge, Layla's copdoge. Rita is Geoff's sister, Layla don't have any family in Coxwette that we know of.

Of course! Smashing Rita is the answer! That’ll make Geoff so mad he’ll never even look at you again!

You: “Why here?”

Rita: “People don’t come up here that often. Layla sometimes, but it’s empty most of the time. Quiet.”

Rita: “Plus it’s…”

Rita: “Kind of the edge.”

You: “Edge of what?”

Rita: “Town. You can look out and see the farthest.”

Rita: “Kind of makes me wonder what’s beyond. I’ve thought about jumping on the train a couple of times, but I can never catch it.”

Rita: “I don’t even know where I’d end up.”

She laughs in a way that sounds like she might not be kidding about any of this, then kind of looks out into the distance.

You: “Yyyep. I wouldn’t mind getting out of here myself.”

Rita: “Traveling together’s a little more fun than doing it alone.”

Rita: “Sometimes.”

Rita: “Well, it’s about time for the town meeting.”

You go with Rita to the library rotunda. Most of the town is gathered in the lawn in front of the steps. At the top in the center is an empty podium with Lisa and Layla standing on either side. Layla is conspicuously wielding her nightstick, while the small crowd of townspeople murmur among themselves. The Plaths are conspicuously absent.

Whisper to Rita "mylady if this is about the zombies do not fear i will portect you"

Do these things happen often?

Start feeling sleepy all of a sudden. Consider napping a little during the boring parts of the meeting

>You: “Yyyep. I wouldn’t mind getting out of here myself.”

You: “Do these town meeting happen a lot?”

Rita: “Sometimes but”

The library door lurches open, and Susanna walks to the podium. The crowd goes silent so quickly that the clack of her boots echoes through the columns.

Susanna: “Lisa, you look like a circus clown.”

The off-handed insult accidentally leaks into the active microphone, and it too echoes across the lawn. Lisa looks down, hugging a brand new clipboard in her arms.

Susanna: “Citizens, I would like your attention. All of your attention.”

Susanna: “Certain affairs in town have made it necessary for me to address you all at once. To quell your worries. An outsider has come and disrupted our ways, drawing the ire of the woods and its many terrors.”

The crowd starts to murmur.

Susanna: “But”

They go silent again.

Susanna: “What pride could we have in our beautiful town if we shunned those seeking refuge?”

Susanna: “We simply need to adapt. We are hardworking people. Strong people who never fail to endure hardships, no matter how ugly they may be.”

Susanna: “So in light of recent threats to public safety”

Susanna: “I am enacting a mandatory 5PM curfew. I am forbidding all private meetings between citizens who do not live together. I am forbidding coresidence of male and female citizens.”

Susanna: “You will now require authorization from me or the police department to congregate outside of normal business hours.”

The crowd erupts in more aggressive rabble.

Susanna: “It is no secret that terrible forces wish to destroy our community. Terrifying monsters without regard for human life.”

Susanna: “For your safety”

Susanna: “You will be monitored. I will not”

HEY I THINK LISA LOOKS PRETTY GOOD LADY

Laugh out loud exaggeratedly and say she's a coward without a plan, unlike yourself who seeks to get rid of these monsters and maybe it's time for a new mayor in town.

Forbidding private meetings, huh?
Yeah we need to start banging in public. Susanna can observe all she wants, that's the point.
Also we're gonna have to start stepping up reveye production and accelerate the exploration of the well.

This means war.

No.

No.

NO.

Ms. Mayor, I think I stand for everyone here in town when I say, NO!

>>785735
Yeah, she's drawing plenty sympathy and means well and all, but how about she shared with us her actual plan in getting rid of these monsters?

Murmur under your breath. "Goddamn prudes."

>>785735
"Free the Penis say no to the Snayor's Tyranny!"

Well that is certainly a announcement. Going to make this town a whole less fun that it currently is, and also screw with everything. Families won't be able to live together unless they're all male or all female. Also means we need to find a new place to stay?

Why isn't the Snayor going after the problem at it's source / the reverends? Is she trying to force us out because she knows we live at the Plaths?

What's your angle Snayor? What are you afraid of letting the town know about?

Maybe we should ask for her reasoning on this? Like: "How will this fix things?" She just dropped a bombshell of restrictions on this town and people are gonna wonder why.

They're gonna force us to live with Geoff. Shit.
They're gonna force Geoff to live with US. Fuck.

Sure is a good thing the town doesn't have any lesbians, right?

Demand a vote of no confidence. Lisa does 90% of her job anyway. She can do the rest.

I'm gonna second shouting that Lisa looks great.

Don't think Chuck's going to get a receptive audience to anything else being shouted out, though. Chuck's decent at schmoozing people one on one or in small groups but as a public speaker I think he'll just piss people off.

We should talk to either the snayor herself or the cops in private, after. Actually, know what? Get some more of that carnal-speech-inducing stuff, and let Susanna really know what we think, as directly as possible. She's probably gagging for the chance to talk to someone else who can use the speech, even temporarily or inexpertly, and for that she'll listen instead of just blocking us out as soon as she starts getting frustrated.

Gotta focus on getting these monsters dealt with. Can't go living life under what a bunch of 18th century religious nuts thought was proper behaviour, which is what would need doing, if even that would be enough now. People will go nuts.

Ask her if that means everyone's gotta have gay sex from now on.

>>785735
"Thats a temporary solution at best! And certainly not viable! We need to find a real solution to those things, mayor!"

Guess we're actually going to get on with defeating monsters.

Don't yell out anything, you'll just draw attention to yourself. Instead, wait until everyone has dispersed and then go confront the snayor.

Be dumbstruck. Confront snayor privately.

The one person who is polarized on this course of action isn't going to be swayed on it.

the crowd who have to live with it might.
The time to strike is now, before this is "the way it's always been".

Well now the title graphic makes sense. Susanna means well but it's pretty clear she's not going to help things.

We might have to force the issue; we have a secret weapon and Susanna knows it. Might need to talk to Layla, force some sense into her. If we have to, we might even need to reveal our little secret to her.

Or y'know... seduce her to our cause.

>>785748
This, or if the townsfolk are hardwired to be incapable of fundamentally disagreeing with her or realizing they've been governed for god knows how long without an actual election, we take to the streets Postal 2 style with a referendum.

Either way, we need to seek the sexy Dogmom's advice on this. And try not to break her heart when we have to move.

Assuming no political move like this is possible, I vote >>785742

>>785759
That could well be the case, but maybe we have to pee on that electric fence for ourselves.

My perspective is not "We'll win for sure", but more
"let's try this"

Chuck, be careful. You must have known enough hucksters to know when someone's working a crowd, right? That bit about "an outsider" was her prepping against you. She had to tone it down and act all forgiving (there are too many key people in the town who are outsiders), but everyone knows she means you and as soon as you start shouting she'll twist the crowd around on you. She might not even be consciously aware of it but that's what she's doing.

Look around. Who's close to you? Do they look happy with this? See if you can get THEM to call stuff out for you. You just say stuff loud enough for people near you to hear, and let them fuss it out. For starters, I'd recommend: "Does she think this won't hurt people? Breaking up families? She's never had one herself."

>>785736
Shout it loud, shout it proud! Erode her standing by standing up for Lisa!

I get we have to find our own place now. Where's an empty lot? The warehouse.

We sure as hell aren't living with Geoff.

We should just yell out right now that we can end this real quick if Sussana would just let us get a Plath down into the well.

>>785736

Yell it. Don't let the Snayor ruin Lisa's confidence for no reason. Beyond that most people seem to know Lisa and standing up for her might put you in some good graces.

>>785734
Uhh, does that make me and Geoff homeless? We're the only dudes in town and we both co-resident with women. Are you telling me I'm not allowed to rent out at the Plath house anymore under law? Same with Geoff and with Naz and Selma?

Suggestion 2017/03/07(Tue)14:30 No. 785784 ID: b3b7b7

>>785766
THIS.

>>785766
Oh shit, ok yeah, changing whatever I said to this. This is good.

>>785766
Changing vote to this

Oh, one thing to point out was that this wouldn't have saved Marcie. She got attacked in broad daylight, and most importantly WASN'T having sex with anyone.

>>785766
This. Dont shout shit

Another big flaw here
LESBIANS AND BISEXUALITY
Naz and Selma could go at it anytime they want or get bored

Also, Masterbation. You gotta make masturbation illegal too.

Time to vote for a new mayor

this one's losing it
also being a huge cock block
which is not okay

>>785766
This, but be really careful.

There's a big chance Susannah might just use carnal speech on everyone or something equally rash, we can't win this while the snake is present, only plant seeds.

Also I'm really for getting a new mayor in but now isn't the best time, maybe do it after the above.

>>785766
>You just say stuff loud enough for people near you to hear, and let them fuss it out.
Good idea. I'd say something like, "That curfew isn't gonna do shit. Or did she already forget that Marcie was attacked in broad daylight?"

>>785735
"Huh, I guess she doesn't want to fuck again." say this in a rudely loud but not actually shouting tone. Like the asshole who makes rude comments asshole-y like.

>>785766 this is a good idea.
please don't yell, just start talking shit to rita. She will more then likely care as her bro Geoff is actually in a coed apartment. you can get close to her and talk shit at the same time.

Did you forget that these monster roam around in broad daylight as well Snayor?

>>785874
Good point.
Best not to yell out at the mayor in risk she will call you out, but instead talk quietly among the people.

Aren't the monsters scared of her?
Couldn't we all just
Ya know.
Have a giant orgy in the mayoral hall?

Guys, we have to remember that Suzanna knows a lot more about these things than we do. This might actually be our best option until we have a good plan...

...complimenting Layla's tits is not that plan, by the way.

I'm sure Susannah is sincerely sorry we're having trouble getting our cock wet, but overthrowing democracy just to get laid might be a bit extreme.

>>785735
"Question. What if the ladies start getting it on with other ladies. Are you going to put us all in solitary confinement then?"

>>785985
you know what yeah. We do gotta talk to her about this though, this isn't a tenable plan. I reccomend doing it in writing though so she has a better forum to get her words out and so chuck's emotionally compromised ass doesn't have more chance to wreck it

>>785987
Actually amendment, we're here right now with everyone save the plaths. We need to start planning now that everyone's in one place.
"Susanna can we maybe talk about actual ideas before we jump straight to segregation? That's just not gonna be a permanent solution!"

I just want to point out that you just have to look at Susanna's face to know she is freaking out and this is the only thing she can think of. So while her idea of freaking terrible and is not in any way shape or form sustainable, she's just a child who's panicking and not acting rationally in any way.

Which means her response to things may be also irrational.

We are going to have to errode her authority, and that's why I think we should focus on Layla. She's the keystone to Susanna's legal authority.

You know who else will be upset about this? Ramona.

She ain't gonna be happy that her only tenant is being forcefully evicted from her home. In fact, she might be more than willing to give Susanna a piece of her mind!

"I want to here what Lisa thinks?"

why?

"She tries hard to understand us all!"

does Lisa need more incentive?

"Geoff defended your honor from me today, I pretty sure he wants to persue a relationship with you and this will get in the way of you two!"

*walk over to Geoff and donkey punch his left arm whispering "you owe me, dork."* *then quickly make your
way to Suzanna before she uses her carnal speech and whisper "we are stronger together than apart, trust in your town's children. We may surprise you if you let us work together."

>>785985
>Implying unconstitutional dictator decrees are democracy.

Fuck her over the podium and tell the townsfolk what is really going on.

The crowd responds with stunned silence. You decide not to shout anything yourself, but instead get the attention of the people directly around you.

You:

You: “Are we just”

You: “Are we just going to accept this?”

You: “Susanna’s taking away the last bit of freedom we’ve got left.”

Angela: “Are we just gonna let the man tell us how it’s gon be!!!”

Angela: “The freedom of democracy is the freedom it gives its dissidents!”

Angela: “NOT the freedom it gives the assimilated!”

She throws up her fist, and the crowd starts to rabble again.

Susanna blinks in silence and leans back toward the microphone.

Susanna: “I assure very little is going to change. This is for your own-”

Angela: “Anyone who gives up freedom for safety RECEIVES NONE AND DESERVES NEITHER!!”

Angela: “HELL NO WE WON’T GO”

ANGELA: “USA USA USA!”

Join Angela in an expression of hippy values, like free love and bare midriffs.

>>786044
RAMONA FOR MAYOR! REVOLUTION! REVOLUTION!

>>786044
Stay quiet. Joining in with the rabble will just turn Susanna against you, and that won't be good for anyone.

Let the whole thing pass in silence, then go talk to her about it once it's all blown over, in private if possible. Maybe now she'll be more receptive to whatever ideas you have, and to sharing with you what the hell is actually going on.

No way, time for Chuck to take charge of the situation. Get up on stage in front of that mic, tell them what you know, tell them what's going on, and make it clear to Suzanna that you'll all be deciding what to do about it together. None of this dictates from on high. If she really cares about the town and it's inhabitants, it's time she became one of them instead of just an invisible dictator.

Keep yourself in the background, Chuck. Encourage quietly.

Perhaps it's a good time to make a quiet question to someone about when Suzanna was voted in, and by who. Quiet, but loud enough to be overheard by people nearby.

Another possible comment to make: How little will change for her, because she lives alone to begin with. On what basis can she say things won't change, when she's not in a position to be affected?

Chuck might want to slip away and make sure Ramona and Sally are safe. These things have been known to attack at relatively random times.

[camera zooms way in on your face]

You have seen situations like this get out of hand before. Sometimes you decide to aggravate them more to cause chaos, and sometimes you just flee. Rarely have to made any attempts in the past to calm things down, but you’re not above it. You…


a) Get up on stage to defend yourself and the other outsiders. Insist that Coxwette needs to lighten up and maintain its freedoms.

b) Call for a (peaceful) mutiny. Depose Susanna and put a new mayor in place by a show of hands.

c) Ask where the Plaths are.

d) Leave the crowd. Maybe take someone with you, who knows.


You do not have the opportunity to talk to Susanna in private at this very moment.

c.

A) Take backup: Angela.

I'd say C. Phrase it like you're asking how the Plath house is supposed to run a business if half the population's not allowed stay there.

>>786085
Also I'm afraid Susanna might have done something stupid in her fear.

Things need to B, sooner or later.

If you(or others) have more arguments, let's hear 'em. But we gotta strike while the iron is scalding.

A - You only recently moved to Coxwette, but you already care deeply everyone here already, that includes Susanna. Despite that this might not be the right action to take.

Maybe you can convince the crowd to focus on the real threat - there are actual monsters out in the forest threatening their lives. Are you willing to live your lives in fear? What can we do about that?

>>786078
We don't know enough of anything to do either A or B. We have no better plan in place than Susanna, and we need to focus on moving this forward: the whole issue of personal freedoms is temporary and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

However, Plaths are VERY relevant to this.

C.

C.

C. What's happening with that? Didn't they know the meeting was gonna happen?

>>786099
C and say this.

Combo of C and D.
Ask about the Plaths, then go inform Ramona about what just happened.

C

>>786078
C for sure. B if we can give it to Lisa, but otherwise it's a terrible idea

C, Susanna probably expects the first thing on your mind is to revolt, as she is somewhat blaming you for all this. Lets throw her off and yell out where the plaths are. Sally at least would have come here.

Well, dog mom, is kind of a hermit, so no big surprise she isn't present.
It is still a bit of a concern since snayer is looking on the boarder of of doing something drastic.

So C.

>>786078
B, preferably with Angie and hippie slogans

C

>>786078
C or B, but mostly leaning towards C.

A.

A

We need to be reasonable about this. Doing something to extreme or nothing at all would only lead to more trouble.

A) They may take our lives but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM.

A Combination of A & B, make sure Susanna isn't hurt but rile up the fucking crowds.

A, B & C are all good options, can I vote to not do D?

I guess if I had to force it I'd choose B and suggest the plaths as mayor? Don't want to stop any other good idea but walking away isn't the way to go.

A&B, down with tyranny! The snayor has run her course!

CHARLEMAGNE FOR MAYOR!

A + D. Get Angela all riled up and then go help her cool off iykwim.

I mean fuck her. Fuck the ostrich. You know you want to.

>>786078
Remind Susanna that every time she enacts a law like this, the monsters win.

>>786078
go on stage and instigate a lynch mob to kill the priests.
"we are either going to have to play it safe or play it dangerous, Let's get a town posse and march into those woods and kill us some worthless sacks of garbage"
then run off to go into the catacombs

C.
Did something happen to the Plaths and is it related to why this meeting had to happen?

To A) defend yourself and others will bring us much unwanted attention.

To B)Could work if we had a plan. Which we don't. We spent all the time leading up to this fucking around. The rightful mayor is Ramona, but there's no way she'll be given power. A democratically elected mayor would mean making new connections with someone who is vastly unqualified for the job. Susana is terrified and acting rashly but she's not our enemy.

Let's not C) and start a witch hunt.

The only real option I see is D.
The Warehouse should currently be conveniently undefended. Alternatively the unrest caused by this might get Angela on our side for some breaking and entering later. Alternatively, we could just go get more or that wacky sight juice from Ramona, and then talk to the mayor privately later.

E) It's time to assassinate the mayor. You need to get a gun from somewhere, and fast.

Aggravate. March right up to the podium. "I've got some ideas for fighting those things instead of knuckling under. All in favor of me for mayor instead of the snake? Show of hands."

I mean, you do kinda need a new job.

>>786078
B&C

>>786455
Ha! That's a good joke! XD

But seriously, Chuck would be terrible as mayor. Sure, he'd be setter than Susanna at the moment, but we'd need someone better than Chuck.

>>786078
this needs to become a war council. get up on stage and explain everything. we should not bow down, we should fight.

also c.

>>786464
Not to mention Susanna has WAY more knowledge on the monsters (and a whole lot of shit) than anyone in town, even ramona.

MONA FOR MAYOR!

>>786455
No, you definitely shouldn't propose yourself; you'd look arrogant. You're supposed to instigate things, then wait things to snowball out of control and people to nominate you.

>>786580
> Not to mention Susanna has WAY more knowledge on the monsters (and a whole lot of shit) than anyone in town, even ramona.

Then she can advise. Doesn't mean she should be in charge.

B

>>786078
A

e) Wave your hands in the air, making finger-in-a-hole hand gestures.

I'm sure Susanna will understand!

>>786078
Doesn't the town have a jail? Tie up Susanna and throw her in a cell.

You: “Where are the Plaths?”

Susanna’s expression sours at the name. The crowd hushes to curious whispers, and Susanna once again leans back to the microphone.

Susanna: “Ramona Plath has declined to attend this gathering, but that brings me to the next item on the agenda.”

She turns her head toward the door behind her.

Susanna: “Come on out, dear.”

Sally somewhat cautiously steps out of the grand library doors.

Susanna: “Sally came to speak with me in her stead.”

Susanna: “I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to the brave young Plath heiress.”

Susanna: “She graciously donated to me the means to keep our town completely safe.”

Susanna: “And has furthermore agreed”


Susanna: “to by my secretary of town security.”

The crowd applauds.

>>787753

She gave susanna all the agates ya dingus

Wait, completely? How? With the Carnal Speech potion? Or did she hand over all the agate?

>>787752
If you do this I demand you pay up on your debt right here right now!

You're fucking dead to me, Sally.
Dead. To. Me.

>>787752
Obviously Susanna has promised to give Sally something she's been wanting this entire time in exchange for all the agate. And that would be access to the catacombs.

"SALLY PLATH! JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW ABOUT THIS?!"

Might as well just leave this meeting out of frustration. Maybe go to the warehouse while everyone is distracted with the meeting. We can't go to the catacombs as of right now with everyone here.

>>787759

or an abortion

>>787759
We also can't say anything to Sally right now without getting the whole town upset at us.

We could probably get away with more remarks on being forced out of the Plath house.

Let's not forget priorities. Grab Rita and go bang.

>>787762
We're in a place that has "wait a few weeks" for a pregnancy test instead of "pee on a stick and wait a few minutes". There's still no way of telling if Sally got pregnant or not.

>>787761
But breaking in will require tools that he doesn't have on him right this minute. Will he have enough time to run and get the tools necessary to break in there before the meeting is over?

leave immediately and go to the plath house posthaste to see what the heck is going on with ramona.

>>787784
Changing my vote to this. Something is wrong here. Get to the Plath house.

You're losing them.

Stoke more outrage. How are the police going to work together with these restrictions? How would it have helped Marcie from getting hurt?

How's Penny going to make a living with no more evening customers?

"If she donated the means for you to keep the town completely safe, then what's the point of the totalitarian bullshit?"

>>787795
This. We make this about us or the town recluse and we open ourselves to be marginalized. Focus on how much this sucks for everyone and how rash and ineffective it'll likely end up being

>>787795
>>787850
These.

Go back to being cautious about drawing attention to yourself, Chuck, I don't like Susanna's expression there and Sally's presence leaves you too vulnerable. Continue stirring the crowd by passing outrage-inspirations to those near you.

Possible comments: "If she has the means to keep the town completely safe, why the restrictions?"
"What is this method, and how is it supposed to keep things safe exactly?"
"Neither mayors or police have the right to tell people who they can have in their own homes."
"This is something that should be decided by a town council."

So this was her idea?

>>787795
Think about it; her mom's dying and Snayor just brought back Marcie. Maybe there's some deal going on here.

>>787880
There almost definitely is, but it's a bit lower priority here. We can deal with that privately later.

>>787851
this

>>787800
>>787857

good points. if the town's safe, why the puritan restrictions and curfew?

I smell a rat.

>>788106
And a squirrel. This is why we should have showered at the apartment.

This is getting insane. Susanna can't just lord over the residents like that! Everyone needs to be civil and rational about this or things will get out of hand.

But if we're gonna mount an argument at all, state how Suzanna actually has no authority. She can't put all of us in prison.

If the mob took control we could easily take any police officer.

>>788231
>>788238
Also, push that Suzanna must be monitored if we are.
She has admitted there are monsters and she has admitted they kill. We must kill them, we must fight back as a community.

Forget the mayor, we need to do this shit ourselves. She really is stuck in one way of doing things.

Oh fuck, how will we crack the catacombs without Sally?

You can't just take away freedoms and enforce rule without giving an explanation, that makes you a tyrant.
And if you have the power to "keep us safe" from them then you should have the power to do more. I'm pretty sure if we try we can find a way to destroy them and I'm also sure that everyone here will be willing to help so I say we fight.
A life spent cowering in fear is no life at all!

You have a great many questions for Susanna, but you’re not in a place to raise them now. You can’t even get a word to her over the crowd, so you just join Angela in the chant. Your male voice sticks out like a rusty nail in the crowd.

Penny joins in.

“Hell no! We won’t go!”

Geoff joins in.

Marcie joins in, but replaced “hell” with “heck”.

“Hell no, we won’t go!”

Layla grabs the microphone and wrenches it toward her.

Layla: “Hey. HEY!”

Layla: “SETTLE DOWN YA BOZOS!”

The crowd just gets louder. Being told to settle down has pretty much always compelled you to freak out.

Susanna: “Go out there and…”

Layla: “I ain’t hittin’ nobody. Get inside.”

Layla escorts the mayor, Lisa, and Sally into the library and bars the door.

>>788246
lets get the guns and go hunting!

WE ARE A FUCKING MOB!!! BREAK DOOR DOWN!!!

Altho I feel the imposed limitations wouldn't have affected our plans, I also think that this is the only chance we'll get to contest them.

So I think the best course of action is definitely to reject Susanna's demands here and now as this will give us more freedom and options later on.

Grab Naz and start looking for that second entrance to the catacombs. Susanna won't be a problem, for now.

Well, look at that. A snake hiding in its hole.
Now where were we? Something about the catacombs or something?

I say we let the mayor hide in her house. Get Angela in on the plan to investigate the well since she's obviously gonna want to do something and is at least strong enough to throw a monitor out the window. Rachel would optimally come along for the extra muscle; she might be willing to do it now? If not you should be able to at least get her to agree not to stop you.

Naz needs to get her rope, and Chuck should go fetch Ramona, since we need a Plath to open the door.

Let her go. There's no reason to attack her: the populace can just ignore her decree for the time being. Unless some magic shit gets involved, she doesn't have a way to enforce her shit.

Now could be a time to rally the mobs anger in a more constructive manner. Mayor says the catacombs are off limits, and people are now realizing that her limits don't mean much. How's a town raid sound?

I say we tip something over!

Hmm. I'd suggest that this would be the moment to go and be all concerned Chuck gently inquiring and making suggestions while Susanna's emotionally vulnerable, but if your voice stood out in the crowd that much that'd be a bad idea.

I don't know, maybe it could work. Maybe say you only joined in the chant to not stand out, not that you disagreed with the basic sentiment. Offer yourself as someone who's also in on all these secrets and a potential wall to bounce the plans off, since they're not working.

I'm sure Chuck could sneak himself in a window while the crowd mobs around outside.

Oh man I know we shouldn't be running for mayor or anything but god damn that open mic looks so useful.
Maybe get someone to talk into it? We need to inform everyone of the monsters' M O, we need to tell them how we can fight back and how we need ideas, we need to get to the catacombs and we need to lift the lid on the well.

In the mean time explain that the monsters, although we don't know how to kill them, are weak to bibles and holy logic. Get everyone to learn the lords prayer, mass produce crucifixes and keep bibles safe for reference and quote.

Consider rigging the pa up to a looping tape of bible quotes about trespass, loving thy neighbour, everything either new testament or lawyerish.

You walk up onto the library steps and look over the crowd.

They are pretty excited now, but no one is making a move on the library door. They all cheer.

You: “We need to get into the catacombs.”

Penny:

Marcie:

Naz:

Angela:

Ellen:

Sophie:

Rita:

Penny: “Why?”

>>788265
Because Susanna doesn't want anyone in there. She's hiding something. Something that she can hear screaming. So let's find out her dirty secret.

Susanna's been dealing with this problem for who knows how long, that's the only place she's afraid to look for a solution.

Why, has anybody got a better idea?

>>788267
Yeah this is fine. I'm struggling to think of anything better.

"There's a dark secret buried down there. The very thing that's keeping these monsters around, that's letting them continue to exist. And I aim to find out the truth!"

>>788265
Look, I don't think Susanna's a bad woman, I think she's always done what she believes is best for this town.
Even these stupid new rules are her trying to help.
But there's one thing she won't budge on, one thing she's been trying her damndest to sweep under the rug, one last bloody stupid secret and apparently we can't handle it, just like we 'can't handle' the monsters.
Can't fail if you don't try after all, nobody gets hurt if they sit at home and avoid the danger. But you know what Mayor? you also can't goddamn succeed, the danger's still out there, waiting for anyone unlucky enough to run into it.

>>788265
She's fine enough, she's trying to help everyone be safe, but it doesn't get to the root of the problem. The monsters will still be out there.

Something in the catacomb's gotta deal with the problem for good.

Don't forget we need Plath blood in order to open the door down there. So either get Sally out here or go to Plath house and get Ramona.

I'm kinda with the townsfolk on this one.

This is a hobby, not an issue of town security.

You: “It’s the last secret.”

You: “Where else is there to look?”

Marcie: “Look?”

Marcie: “For what?”

You:

You: “For…”

You: “I don’t know. The truth? A way out of this town?”

You: “A way to get rid of these monsters so you all can live your lives?”

The crowd starts to rabble again.

You:

You: “Ok everyone”

They continue to rabble.

You: “Uh. Y’all.”

A few of them look up.

You: “ALL y’all.”

Everyone looks up.

You: “Susanna’s telling the truth about the monsters. I’ve seen them. Naz and Selma have seen them. The Plaths…”

You: “They’re real, and they’re the reason the mayor won’t let you have any fun, alright? Hiding away and behaving yourselves like good little church mice isn’t really gonna cut it.”

You: “I wanna get out of here too. But I need your help.”

They all go silent for a minute.

Naz: “What if”

Naz: “some of us don’t want you to leave?”

>>788303
"Then you better have a positive pregnancy test, toots."

This is an ironic suggestion as nothing could compel him to leave faster.

>>788303
...uh

Tell her you... might stay, in that case. But you still want to be able to make that choice, and not have it forced on you.

"If we don't want to leave, then we need to make this place safe to stay in."

>>788307
This sounds good

>>788307
This.
As long as those things are haunting the town, no one is safe and nothing will ever get better.

>>788303
We can leave here together. Or stay, if we want, by our own choice without being trapped. Being free doesn't mean we have to leave each other. I've grown...rather fond of y'all as well.

I don't want to leave permanently Naz.
I just don't like staying in a single place for too long.
Not that fun. I mean, guys it could be 2200 out there with FLYING CARS right now because timey wimey don't work very well here.

Flying cars.
Plus, you know, we can like actually meet and talk to people from outside again.

I love it here. I want to stay here.

But living in fear is no way to live. If we have to huddle in our houses alone forever to stay safe what is the point?

I would rather find a way to fight these monsters.

>>788303
"Yeah, I guess that wasn't the best way to put it. Honestly, I like it here. The environment is nice, there's pleasant company, it's safe and peaceful... except for all the monsters lurking about, I mean. We can choose to stay or go later; right now we've got to keep our town safe."

Speaking of which, now would be a good time to tell them in detail what we know about the monsters and how they work, so they'll all be prepared in case of further attacks.

You: “Well I mean”

You: “I’d come back to visit.”

You: “I don’t like being tied down to one place for too long. I need to meet new people in the outside world.”

You: “And who wants to stay in this place with monsters jumping people all the time anyway? Not you. Not me. We gotta do something about them before ANY of us can go on living here.”

Penny suddenly looks very uncomfortable. She puts her hands on Marcie’s shoulders and squeezes.

Penny: “How come they only started showing up when you showed up?”

The crowd murmurs.

You: “Uh”

You start to sweat heavily.

That's not true. They've attacked people before. You won't name names, it's up to them to fess up or not.

Point out the fact that this is more about getting rid of the monsters than anything else. If getting rid of the monsters opens the town, fine -- people are free to come and go as they please. But the most important thing is getting rid of the monsters and they're more than likely tied to the town itself.

>>788327
This.

And it's true that they're apparently attracted to love. Infer what you will from that.

Also point out that the library includes records of previous people trying to get rid of the monsters. You might as well spill the beans about Susanna and the blue agate too, since it's pretty clear Sally's done something real stupid and given them to her.

Throw a stone into a pond and watch the ripples spread.
The town was locked into a routine designed by Susanna that would discourage the monsters from approaching. When Chuck arrived he shook things up and changed the routine. In that way, he is guilty.
But this can be a change for the better. The town has lived in stasis under borderline tyrannical rule due to the fear of those creatures. The people have been kept ignorant of the truth behind Coxwette and have been forced to live restricted, blind lives.
But now the veil is lifted! The people see the truth for the first time! Now is the time to break the endless cycle and throw off the shackles of fear! These beasts of the forest are fearsome, but they are nothing before the combined spirit and might of the free people of Coxwette! United they can turn back this encroaching darkness!
Liberation is at hand!

>>788325
"You know, apart from that not being STRICTLY true, you make a good point.
I'm not the best guy but if I'm indeed the reason horrible zombie priests are giving people unwanted saline injections I'm out, no contest."

That farmer dude has talked about dealing with them before. He saved me the first time I saw one, maybe they remember me fondly for it.

>>788325
"Because your Snayor has repressed this town for many years and I am sexiness incarnate"

"They don't like it when you're not a goody goody church going folk and I... babe you better believe I'm a bad motherfucker." LOL

>>788325

They didn't. There's at least 4 other people in town who've seen them before you ever got here, and two of them are here right now. One of them's even got the scars to show for it!

>>788371
This. We're losing them. We need to disperse and get those who are interested in helping us break into the catacombs.

They didn't, there has been several attacks before, they just got more active since I showed up because I'm a fun influence.
Also this isn't about leaving, it's about freedom, about have the freedom to leave, to walk around and live your lives without fear.

Chuck just paraphrase the below. I know you're not going to say the whole thing.

They've been around before apparently, past Cowette residents have even tried trapping them in cages and drowned them but the Reverand, so I hear from an old newspaper anyway,

They're hard-ass Christians, and they sense, well non-Christian values like a dog to bacon. I'll admit to being a sinful person who sins a little bit more than the average guy, if sins are according the the Christian religion. I sneak a drink here and there when I can find it, and form a few casual physical relations, because that's what you did in the 1990's. I'm not apologizing for my free-spirited behavior.

Yes, I was a catalyst for these monster reverands sensing coxwette better, and I'll own up to that, but the truth is that any of you engaging in "free-spirited" behavior, or even thoughts creates that bacon smell. I mean, there's ALSO that bunny that's selling drugs that we haven't actually found yet too to think about.

Which is the reason why Susanna doesn't want men and women to live together anymore, prevent private meetings from happening, and make a curfew after 5. It's less for your safety and MORE to stop you from boning each other. Thing is, she didn't even THINK about our queer population at all, so you know, that's not actually going to stop boning unless she actually tries outlawing homosexual relations outright too. Or masturbation, that too.

Also Angela, girl, they probably hate your music. I love your music, but you know, hard ass Christians hate vinyl. You know that, I know that, we all know that. That's probably next on Susanna's ban list.

They were always there. You were just the straw that broke the snayor's back. There's just too much going on now to keep everything under her control like she used to.

I think the catacombs plan is a nonstarter, but we should keep whatever we say simple and to the point.

The truth is there's no telling how many people the creatures have gotten.

But they've been here since before you came here.

>>788327
>>788335

These are good. Also mention how Davey saw them and fought them off before. Several times. You may be a catalyst for their anger, but ultimately, they're there and they will stay around until they're dealt with.
