I can't believe you guys are voluntarily talking to Benny.

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.

He's not. I guess I snuck in one too many videogame refs.

I'm pretty sure that pretty much everyone is unhappy with the state/choices of the protagonist, one way or another. Not much I can do about it, again, short of writing out every single plot branch.

Really?  I mean, no offense to Det, but I only see him voicing complaint over it.

I mean, if "unhappy with the state of the protagonist" you mean that it's probably not enjoyable to have your head full of evil worms in a dead and threatening world, then yeah, but I think everyone's still having a ton of fun.

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

Being awkward around Jesse makes more sense in the context of "Come on, take advantage of the naive probably underage girl who watched her parents die! It would be so eassssssssy," though.

I'm not being self-conscious, just reflecting on how it's impossible to please everyone in a story with choices and voting. By which I mean, I'm sure each of you, if given complete control, would have shaped and lead the story quite differently.

If it actually worries you that Wolfy is going to turn into a nerd, then here, I assure you that I have no intention of making him a nerd. Beyond what I've already done.

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

Dear Friday: very few choices made, aside from the obvious bad choice that "nearly killed us", have not been what I wanted :3

3. Talk to him. Ask him what happened back there with the paralyze thing.

Though your first inclination is to tackle Benny and choke the life out of him, you swallow your anger and put your hands at your sides.

On the other hand, ignoring him doesn't seem to be working so well. Maybe it is time to have a little talk.

"You," you say, lifting a finger and taking a few steps toward Benny. "You have some explaining to do."

Benny points his fingers inwards toward his chest, putting on a mock "Moi?" face as you approach.

"What the fuck happened back there?!" you nearly yell.

"Wasn't it amazing?" Benny coos. "The miracle of life. Such a beautiful baby. Kinda big, though."

"I'm not talking about the fucking Buffalo," you spit at him. "I'm talking about when you paralyzed me."

Benny rolls his eyes. "What. The. Fuck," he says, throwing up his hands.

"I don't get it," he continues. "I really don't."

"Get what?" you ask, hands trembling.

"How you can be so goddamn stupid," Benny says, shaking his head.

You raise a fist. Benny grins at you, a thin trail of green slime running from one corner of his mouth, twisting around the engorged black veins traveling up his face.

You lower your arm.

"You're the one who let me in, remember?" Benny asks.

You cock your head.

"You know, when I saved your life," Benny says, sighing like he was explaining something to a four year old.

Your mind briefly flashes back to the horrible memory of the worms crawling all over you.

Benny nods, smiling. "And thus, your body is now my playground. In return for living, you get to be my bitch!"

"No," you say immediately. "You still needed my permission back when I was caged up by Jesse."

"So my control isn't 100%," Benny says dismissively, waving a hand. "Yet."

"Bullshit. I've got your number. I'm gonna drown you in booze."

Benny laughs, spraying flecks of matter and blood all over your face and upper chest. "Be my guest, bro. You might be able to kill off the newer growth, but the primary worms don't give two shits about your poison. It's only a matter of time before they extend in force up to your brain. And then, well..." he trails off, smiling again with pale lips.

"And then what?" you say.

"Party time," Benny grins.

You turn away in disgust.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, bro. I'm actually glad you finally talked to me, you know," Benny says, running around in front of you. "I've got a present for ya."

You raise an eyebrow.

"No, I'm serious," he says, straight-faced. "Does this look like the face of a liar to you?"

You pause for a moment to examine Benny's sickening, rotting face. His good eye twinkles in the sun. "A present," you say.

"Sure. What, you don't want it? Come on, I'm only trying to help a brother out. You know, help you stay alive, all that good shit."

"STAY ALIVE?!" you yell. "What the fuck!? Where was 'keeping me alive' a few minutes ago when you paralyzed me in front of that fucking monster!?"

Benny chuckles. "Oh, come on. You and I both know I was only messing with you. That thing wasn't going to kill you. Besides, Jesse was there to pull your ass out of the fire."

"You fucking son of a --" you stop in mid sentence, slow realization seeping in like water under a door. "You weren't trying to kill me at all."

Benny smiles.

"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."

"Take your present and shove it up your ass," you say, turning away from him.

But as soon as you do, Benny is in front of you again, this time simply appearing instead of running. "Sure about that, bro?" he asks. "Maybe you should know what you're rejecting before you miss a great deal like this."

1. "Not interested, Benny. Fuck off."

2. "Fine. What am I being offered?"
