1.  For fuck's sake, if I ever come across something like this, I hope I have the sense to not try and palaver with it when it's reaching out to grab me.

2 is right out, because it won't be enough to knock him off-balance and 3 won't work either because we're not in good enough shape to destroy his heart.

And 4... Well, fuck that.

"Hello! David Nicole! Hell! Dav Ni Ole! Nick! Davnick! Oh!"
...
"Hello!" he says, clearer now. He sounds very happy to see you. "I am fine! You are? My name is Nick! Oh!"
...
"You are fine!" he says, and you notice that he has no upper teeth or tongue.

He talks awfully clear for a man with no tongue.  I don't know what that means. :shrug:

1. Time to go. There's enough time to make it to the front door.

You tear your eyes and focus away from this thing and rush toward the door. Vines reach out for you, a few feet away, as you pass.

"You will be fine!" he says, still bright and sweet. "Nick ole Id! Hello!"

You make it to the door, open it, step through, and turn to shut it. The man is closing. You slam the door as the vines and his arms reach toward you.

It almost immediately starts to open again. Luckily it opens outward, and you throw yourself against it. It thuds against your body. The doorknob twists back and forth wildly.

"Shit," you say under your breath. You look around for something to brace the door with. Nothing on the porch. A chair, but it's out of reach and probably wouldn't work anyway.

Suddenly the pressure against the door stops. You feel something move against your leg.

You look down to see a vine coming from the crack under the door. It's snaking its way up your leg, and as you try to pull your leg away, it wraps around tightly, cutting through the fabric of your pants. Pain flares up your body. You scream and stab downward as best you can with your poker.

Crunch. The vine spasms as the tip of your poker crushes it to the ground. From the other side of the door you hear the man let out a low wet hiss. You twist the poker and the vines shudders, then goes limp, releasing your leg.

There is a moment of complete silence. Then --

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

The sudden force of the impact throws you backward, off the porch. You roll away and get to your feet, favoring your good leg.

The man stands in the open doorway. More vines are coming out of him now, whirling and twisting. More than twice that which you've seen any Faceless have before. He opens his mouth again, and it distends hugely. A low hissing noise emits from it.

You start to back away. He follows, closing his mouth. His head is again hanging to one side. He steps down off the porch, into the driveway. His belly suddenly rips open, more vines erupting from the opening. These vines are longer, thicker than the rest.

You turn and run. Adrenaline masks the pain in your leg.

From behind you, you hear him speak again:

"Your friends are fine! You are fine! We are fine. Nick Dave!"

You run up the street, away from him. Out of a nearby house a Faceless comes through an open front door. He SCREEs at you as you pass.

You're running blind, panicked. Got to get away get away away got to get away get away they're right behind me get away get away

You turn a corner in the road to see two Faceless ahead of you in the street. A tall woman with long dark hair, and an old man wearing a nightshirt and pajama bottoms. They both walk toward you in that crazy bow legged gait. The old man stops for a moment, and out of the hole that used to be his face a blast of hot air and screaming noise hits you. From behind you, another scream answers it. Then another, from farther away, up ahead.

The screams are like a slap of cold water to your face. The panic drains away, being replaced with a sinking feeling of dread. This entire area is fucking crawling with infected.

A wet slithering, thumping noise from behind you. You whirl and see the Crawler as it springs from under a nearby bush. You catch it in midair with your poker, swinging at it like you would a baseball. It splits open and flies away, landing on a nearby lawn. The vines lay still on the grass.

From behind you, you hear another scream, but this one is lower, more growling. You really hope that's not what you think it is.

The two Faceless in front of you are continuing their approach.

Think.

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

1. A nearby house has a car parked in the driveway. The front door is open. If you can find the keys inside...

2. Keep running. Away from the Faceless, away from the screams.

3. Run back the way you came. If you can make it back over the gate, you sssssssssss

4. Attack the two Faceless in front of you.

1. And if we can't find the keys, we can dive out a back window. We shouldn't go back to the shelter until we lose these guys.

Our best bet is getting someplace where they might tangle each other up.
1
That's right. That's our best bet. We're boned.

I don't think we have the wherewithal to actually make an escape from this setup on foot. Especially when you consider that one of them probably has a... "Cavine" around.

I -think- enclosed spaces work to our advantage right now.

Ditto, but only because we're assuming no "Cavines" (i cannot deal with that name guys) and that they're the only kinds of creatures that can elevate themselves and attack through windows.

These houses are two-story deals, right?

Cavine
I hate you. I hate you so much you helpful, helpful person.

We're boned. Maybe we can hole up in a cellar? Too bad we've probably got a new infection from that leg wound.

Or maybe a competing infection won't do us too bad?
Whatever. We can't outrun a... "hunter" type, and I'm not keen on trying to get back over a wall with vines behind and ahead of us.

Shit.

I think you're all insane but you're right.  If that growl is what we think it is, running will do nothing.

But...you know what?  The keys are a death trap.  Say we get into the house and find them.  Then what?  How do we get back out?  They'll be swarming INTO the house by then, all around the car maybe.  We can't get in there, find keys, and get back out and get into the fucking car with all of them.

You guys still have time to change your mind, so, I'm going to suggest our best option has something we've been avoiding for a while.  We might as well chance it, because we're fucked otherwise.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with Romo because I don't think 1 is a good idea at all.  I agree with the "they are going to fucking dick us over by trapping us in a house and we won't be able to escape" thing.  If we did find the keys, they seem like they're sometimes smart enough to wait and then even if they didn't get into the house, they might wait outside and then we'd never be able to get out.

But I'm a little wary of ....sssssssssssssssssssssing.  What the hell would that even do.  That could really fuck us up OR it'll tell them to leave us alone OR it'll fuck us up and then they won't leave us alone and we'll be eaten oh god.

.....So 3
