We've been shutting him out a lot.  It might be a chance to at least learn something.

2.  I want to find out what his game is.

Yeah, really, and I don't think with his little "trick" we really want to get on his bad side.  It's honestly more than a little worrisome that he could control us that much when we've been boozing it up.  I say after we find out what the present is, we down 2-3 beers.  In the backseat.

The fact that he can control us so easily is all the more reason to fight him at every possible opportunity, even to the point of petty stubbornness. Every inch of leeway we give him is one inch closer to his complete dominance. If we can't find a way to remove him, he will eventually take us over completely. So why make it easier for him? Make the fucker earn it, at the very least.

...

If your concern is that it breaks immersion, then I'm on the same page with you. I was actually worried about that.
This.

"You were trying to get Jesse killed," you say, staring.

"Guilty!" Benny quips, grinning. "So what of it? The girl is dead weight. And worse, she's a ticking time bomb. Got the worms, you know."

I found this amusing as I was wondering if a "shove Jesse at bovine" option would show up if that ranch fiasco went south. Benny shouldn't try to kill off perfectly good decoys!

2. Whatever the gift is will give us some insight into what our future worm overlord has planned.

Lee-Ham has succeeded in making me nervous.

1 if I can still change it, which I'm pretty sure I can't, but oh well.

Benny sucks because he's not really wrong: Jesse is in the same situation as us and, quite frankly, will be a problem when she finally succumbs. Assuming we outlast her.

That said, the noble lecher in me won't abide anyone who would hurt a lady. 1.

Better the devil I know...  2.  There's nothing guaranteeing that Benny won't spring his "gift" on us later, so I'd think it better to know what he might have up his sleeve.

Options are tied at 4 and 4, far as I can see.

You can change it.

Also, I am switching this over to a new voting system, being not satisfied with First to Four. I will now be using a closed 1 day duration voting poll.

All votes reset since it was a tie. Be sure to revote/vote for your choice.

Holding at 1 for now, then.

Lee-Ham made a very good case that "just listening to" Benny may really be far more consent and submission than it seems, and I agree with him now.

To be perfectly clear:

You may continue to vote in public and discuss options and such, but I WILL NOT be counting votes in the thread anymore. Please vote in the Poll.

ALL PREVIOUS VOTES HAVE BEEN RESET.

Also, I don't like how self-reflective this character is becoming.  I was happier when I imagined he wasn't a video game nerd who's awkward around pretty girls.

I did mentally cringe a little when that Resident Evil reference was tossed out.

Plenty of rockstars and professional athletes have played Resident Evil.

Edit: Then again, Tommy Lee probably would have replied, "What?" in a noncommital way to a Resident Evil joke.

being cool must take a ton of effort and all that lube to get the stick in your butt

Horrible thought guys:
The parasites are (in addition to the jillion ways we've already seen) sexually transmitted, and the best way to weaken them is to have competing strains fight for your body.

EDIT:
I think we should also look into experimenting with various drugs to see what does to our... "friend".

I'm not going to try to force Friday to write porn and it wouldn't be something I would try in real life regardless.

The other thing might have merits. Given my druthers I'd drug her and experiment with wormicides that might leave her alive. Different not-quite-lethal chemicals and whatnot.

Umm, the friend I was referring to was Benny.

I thought for a little while that Benny was doing his damnedest to employ some reverse psychology. Though, on reflection, it doesn't seem like the worm's style.

I was referring to over-the-counter drugs or other drugs that we could be reasonably sure weren't going to totally mess up our shit. Like liquor.

We're also still not sure if it's actually the actual alcohol. Maybe we should see how the character, and his horrible alien worms, feels about a nice champaign?

Voted 2 again. At the very least we'll find out if merely asking about Benny's gifts will increase our...uh...
