Hm, who amongst us has brown eyes?

[McFrugal]

I don't think anyone else's eye color has been mentioned so far.

1!

[Royal☭]

"Is it my eye, sweetie?"

Nicole jumps a bit in her seat. "Yes! You got it!"
...

"That's weird," you say.

"Hey, wait a minute," David says. "Look. Up there. That house has some coming from the chimney."

Chimney shooting eyes into the sky?  Well, that's an investigating.


1 for the block.

[Guild]

itt friday should tell us what damn color everyone's damn eyes are so everyone will shut up about damn eyes

damn your eyes

and in case it's not too late, 1, because i have a feeling the major antagonist is in the car with us, so it really doesn't much matter where we go

[Sharkey]

Yeah, going with 1.

Sigh. I so wanted to ask "is it the Greater Northern Californian Explodeworm?"

[Brentai]

everyone you have met hasss tried to kill you or isss planning to kill you

you ssshould go for...

oh.  i see.

have fun ssssssssshitstacks.

(Hazel eyes are fun because nobody can tell they're not brown unless you correct them.  Unless they happen to be green that day, at which point you still correct them, and if they know anything they can tell you're horny.)

[Romosome]

You folks move fast.  I'm going to have to change my name with this work schedule keeping me out of the 20 questions fun.

I'd also like to know whether anyone else is exhibiting heterochromy, brown or not.

  IT'S A WIIIITCH

[Friday]

1. Stop and investigate.

You pull off the road. The gate is open. A white pickup truck is parked outside, next to a tractor. You park some distance back, on the driveway.

"Are there people in there?" Nicole asks.

"I dunno, sweetie," you say. Scanning the front of the house, you can see the curtains are drawn and the front door is shut. There's a porch with a rocking chair on it. You glance back at David and Jacob. David runs a hand through his greasy blonde hair.

"Let's check it out," he says.

Jacob slowly gets out of the car. "I'll stay back. If there are people here, remember, be polite. This is their house, most likely."

David goes around back and opens the trunk, grabbing his rifle. "Yeah, and if it's not, they may shoot first and ask questions later."

You grab the shotgun from the back seat.

"If you guys go up there armed, they might think you're coming to raid the house," Jacob says.

"What's the alternative? Walk up there with no guns, hoping they'll invite us in for some coffee?" David says.

Jacob shakes his head.

"Or what if there's Faceless inside instead?" David continues, coming up front again. He takes his glasses off and breathes on them, wiping them off.

"Inside, tending a fire?" you ask.

"Well, who knows? It's unlikely, maybe, but possible. There's no way I'm going up there unarmed, anyway."

*********************************

1. "Fine, stay here then. I'll leave the shotgun here and go alone. I'll have the 9mm in my pocket, hidden, in case something goes wrong."

2. "I can't argue with that. Come on. Jacob, take care of Nicole. We'll check this out."

3. "I don't like this. Let's just go."

2. If we were truely raiding the house, we wouldn't knock the door or ring the bell. I don't think anyone that's aware of the state of Hometown, USA would fault us for carrying around a gun in this climate.

[Classic]

Hey, do we still have our shades? It might be worth it to put them on. In the meantime, 1 No matter what, sending a one man envoy to people at this point is a much less aggressive stance.

I guess it's possible they're so shellshocked that they'll open fire on anyone wandering around "alone", because they are clearly monsters. I don't think this has made everyone's perception of the world so paranoid yet.

[Detonator]

Yeah, it's not like they'd be so paranoid that they'd open fire on a young girl because she was one of them

[Classic]

Clearly I want to cross our fingers and hope that David is an exception and not the rule. I have a feeling there aren't too many "Davids" who actually manage to escape their en-THEY'd loved ones.

4 RAKE THE HOUSE WITH FEROCIOUS GUNFIRE

[Arc]

1. Walking up to someone's home with a rifle is asking for nineteen dumptrucks of trouble. Keeping the 9mm hidden immediately came to mind.

sweetie

Alright, now this is finally getting to me.

raiding the house

Uh, no. Just checking what's up with the chimney, is all.

ssssss

letsss go over the sssterling examples of humanity we've ssseen so far

two people who basssically exploded
lolita, dark overlord of the flesh worms
a kid who innosssently tried to carjack you
a man who innosssently threatened and shot a 10-year-old
dr. turnsalot

exssseption or not, you do not ssseem to attract the right kind of people, friend

4 RAKE THE HOUSE WITH FEROCIOUS GUNFIRE

they can't live there any more because they are zombie goasts

[Classic]

You can't have lolita be simultaneously a dark overlord and simply a "10-year-old". Either lolita is the last hope for humanity that the worms are desperately trying to cast a bad light on or she is a fundamentally genocidal blight on the earth in a humanoid form. One of these people is not actually doing us wrong.

It's just one of them is definitely crazy.


... I am not making a good case for myself here.

Whatever happened to the Gambler's Fallacy? We're bound to hit the jackpot on a companion this time!
Anyhow, we've gotta keep trying and we've gotta finish pioneering our worm eviction program and make it work for as many people as we can.

[Brentai]

ssso far you've very successfully started the Girl's Army, ssso if that'sss your intent...
