[Defenestration]

Now that I think about the web of suspicion in the current party, I'm seriously considering that it would be best to X-Ray everyone and remove any doubts and put EVERYONE at ease.

The trust and/or knowledge gained from such an endeavor will probably be worth the risky time investment in the long run.

Also, the rifle and shotgun are well stocked enough, and the garden variety ones can be handled with a single shell to the torso.

Hmm...

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm agreeing with Rygaron. Do Jacob first, then Daniel, and time permitting, Nicole. Doing it back to back will have all the x-rays develop at about the same time, and we can take them and run, working with a flashlight in the car if needbe.

[Air]

How old is she, anyway?

[Air]

Fine, X-ray everyone. But make it Jacob, David, Nicole. In that order.

[Arc]

I mean, he watched his damn wife explode into vines in front of him after a slow decent into madness

No, she was something else (The Other):

There's more to them than just the faceless. They have ears and eyes where you can't see them. They can look just like us. I thought Nicole was one of them. I don't know. Maybe I was wrong. But she... when I first saw her. Her eyes. Just like my wife's..."

Which was what Nicole was but likely isn't now, since The Other has moved on to Jacob.

He still has both his eyes and he isn't bleeding visibly.

Nicole smelled blood on Jacob (after The Other left her), and the worm in the dream didn't enter through the eye, but instead through the ear. If it was even a worm.

Her big worm is in us now (kinky)

Not necessarily. The worms inside of us now are likely from the faceless. I don't think we have The Other worm inside of us yet, and apparently can't be anyways since we're already infected with the Faceless worms.

If you are going to X-Ray somebody, X-Ray Jacob. Otherwise, Leave.

[Defenestration]

More good points, I missed the ear stuff. I still think it would be worth it to X-ray everyone, THEN leave, though.

Like I said, the trust and knowledge gained would be of great help and probably worth an encounter or two we and David are fully equipped to handle, I think.

[Air]

If we're not X-raying Jacob we need to talk to David to learn what the other THEY are.

[Romosome]

No, I think the worms inside of us now are the Other worms.   They resemble what Nicole put in us in the dream, and the descriptions really make it sound like we had two types of worm and one type (the smaller, wirey ones) died.

They'll send scouts first.  We haven't seen a scout yet.  I suggest we deny we're hallucinating and ask Jacob to X-Ray Nicole.

[Air]

When did we see a Crawler, by the way? And who is Danile?

[Angry Beaver]

X-Ray Jacob, Daniel David and Nicole. Then, if Jacob is not one of THEY or The Other, tell him that we've got a hitch-hiker in our brain-pan. Then get more beer.

[sei]

Daniel is probably a fuckup of David's name.  Let's throw Defenestration out a window for it, even if it's not his fault.

[Defenestration]

Someone has a taste for irony.

[Classic]

I legitimately don't understand why people don't think this is a good idea.

I just think it's the best and fastest way to get us into an all hell breaks loose and pooch screwing situation. Every adult in this place can be assumed to have a firearm even if the THEY doesn't have any super-human capabilities yet.

... We know that Jacob can probably outdo us in a fire/fistfight if it comes to that. We might be able to stop a suicide attempt on the part of David, but that's risky.

I agree an X-ray would be a good use of everyone's time (we should get Jacob to give us a once over how to run those things) since this stronghold isn't going to hold at all. But I don't know if we're gonna have much more 1-on-1 time and we've got to fill in the many, many blanks Friday is deliberately dropping for us. Beyond that... If we want Jacob to trust us, I think we need to keep filling him in.

Seriously Ryg, Arc, disparaging your teammates isn't productive. Sora hasn't been playing for more than two turns, and I've been contributing (maybe not as much but) comparably to you. So let's try to keep our opinions of players separate from our opinions of their ideas, shall we? If you wanna call the "Everyone is at various stages of infection" theory paranoid and unfounded, that's A-OK. I'm putting them out there for peer review. That's the point of it. But don't go calling your teammates bad players. A brain divided cannot receive input from both sides of the body. Or something like that.

[Beat Bandit]

Ok, this is getting confusingly retarded, several people have changed their minds more than once, and Sora isn't even pretending to try and correct his previous choices, so just to make sure:

Leave -
Arc

X-ray Nicole -
Romosome

X-ray Everyone -
Rygaron
Defenstration
Brentai
Angry Beaver

Talk to David... again -
Sora

Talk to Jacob -
Classic


Did I leave anyone out or get anything wrong?

FUCK!

Anyhow, I only have the same info as Arc to go on here, but my guess has been that we were doubly infected with both THEY types.

And while I can accept the idea that Nicole's THEY jumped to Jacob, why would it? Do you mean her "I wasn't pretending to be crazy" comment? We're acting under the assumption that she's not still speaking prophecy? Or that her "LOOK IN THE FUCKING CAR AND GET THE BEER YOU DIMWIT!" Prophecy doesn't indicate something?

[Defenestration]

Yup, that's about right. I'm sticking to X-Ray everyone now.

I don't really think that anyone other than Nicole has something of some kind, myself. But It will certainly eliminate suspicion and give us a few definites as opposed to giant question marks to better calculate with. And hey, if it's nothing at all, you get a little more trust and cohesion out of everyone and a little of the kooky out of David.

[Classic]

My suggestion was a little more involved, but yeah, that's the gist of it. I'd also be happy with the X-ray everyone plan, my aversion to it mostly stems from paranoia at the extent of a THEY infection in our companions (e.g. a complete, violent override to protect themselves when we least expect it), and also that I'd prefer not to have to waste shells on a faceless scouting party.

... I wonder... I wonder how Jacob knows about faceless?

[Brentai]

Also, Daniel probably has the most rational response to a zombie apocalypse compared to anyone else present. I mean, he watched his damn wife explode into vines in front of him after a slow decent into madness, and then was probably forced to kill her.

She didn't become a vine monster.  She became something else.  That's very important.

What's her nickname for us?

[Air]

Wait, did we already talk to david and learn what he seen? When did we See a fucking crawler? and When did she say "LOOK IN THE FUCKING CAR AND GET THE BEER YOU DIMWIT!"?

[Brentai]

...oh hey, a whole nother page.  Wake me up when something happens.

ALSO JUST TO MAKE THINGS MORE CONFUSING, X-Ray Jacob and David.  They'll probably bitch about not X-Raying Nicole, but we can just save her for last and then OH SORRY WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW ZOMBIES COMING YEP

[Classic]

She didn't become a vine monster.  She became something else.  That's very important.

This, alongside his prophetic dream, makes me a little concerned about him and his state of infection.

When did she say "LOOK IN THE FUCKING CAR AND GET THE BEER YOU DIMWIT!"?

Misquoting for effect. She tells us that the drug we need is "right behind us" when we're prompted for choosing a vine-curing medicine.
