High Day
e51896
Gerbera: Jerry! My bud! You're okay!
And just like that, Jerry is snapped right out of his thoughts and realizes he made it to the WALK-INTO-A bar. Gerbera looks relieved to see him and Mary.
Gerbera: Is Mary with you?! Oh thank goodness. I was worried you got lost or captured by w2K after I realized you weren't with me.
Mary: Oh… sorry to worry you. I just… couldn't continue being a pushover coward by leaving boss by himself like that.
Mary: I thought he needed me, and I was so worried about him!
Mary: But, he handled it himself after all. I should not have had you worry like that, Gerbera.
Jerry says he actually appreciates Mary accompanying him on the walk back after going through that, and shouldn’t beat himself too much about it.
Gerbera: Yeah, as long as you're here with us, that’s all that matters.
Mary sighs in relief, and thanks the two as they enter the bar. The place is… surprisingly quiet. He'd think it'd be full of college students after their last day of the school year, but then he remembers the end of year performances, projects, and film festivals take part in as part of their climax. Shows of all the skills they accumulated throughout the school year, and more than enough to keep them occupied. He assumes it'll be busy later at night, when all that is over. Good news for his friend Jordan, the bartender, who just happens to be cleaning some glass cups at the counter. She tends to get anxious when it gets super busy. He hopes she's not thinking about the rush too much right now.
Jordan: Jerry! Out on another pizza run? You came at a good time.
Jordan: It's the calm before the storm, so I'm free right now.
Jordan: Need me to heat up your pizza again?
Jordan: or do you want to hear some gossip?
Jerry says he's fine on the pizza, and is just here for a breather. He will think about talking to her if he has the time.
Jordan: No problem. Feel free to talk if you do.
Mary: So… what should we do first, Boss?
As Mary asks that question, the ears of one of the customers sitting at the counter perks up, and slowly turns towards the PIZZA PARTY to see who is talking. She has a glare in her eyes before suddenly doing a double-take. Her expression quickly changes to bewilderment and what looks to be disbelief as she keeps staring at Jerry. It’s as if she is trying to process what she is seeing.
The woman seems to be some kind of WEREWOLF MONKEY… wait, that can’t be… There is no full moon tonight, nor are they in THREE HAMS ROAD’s CURSED NIGHT. Maybe she’s one of those rare hybrid species, one being half-canine, half-monkey. She looks real strong, with a torn up coat and… is that a priestess hat? It seems to be torn up as well, with some kind of symbol on it. There are a few broken bottles on the floor by her feet, and what looks to be a mouse-sized mouse standing next to her on the counter, looking a bit concerned about the monkey-wolf thing. She’s also wearing a priestess hat with the same emblem, but it doesn’t have any tears on it.
Now that Jerry thinks about it… the tough priestess monkey canine thing does seem really familiar, but he can’t quite put his finger on it. He wonders if he’ll remember who she might be if he talks to her. She does look like she has something IMPORTANT to say to Jerry. Call it a hunch
Besides that, the only other thing of interest is that it looks like Harmon and Vincent have entered the bar, perhaps finished with their bike ride, and are heading into the basement hiding under one of the tables. Jerry gives them a nod as the two nod back. Jerry thinks the two are going to the bar’s secret BLACK MARKET to help out down there.
With that, Jerry decides to think about what to do during this SECOND CHECKPOINT. He considers that he has 13 UPDATES left before it’s too late, and maybe about 5, or 7 SITUATIONS to get through. so he has PLENTY OF TIME before he has to hit the road again. Maybe enough time to grab a drink? Though, he might get INTOXICATED if he does that… in any case, there’s a lot of options, so he decides to think about what he might still need to do before he heads back on his Pizza run…
—-----------------------------------------------------------
SIDEQUESTS and REMINDERS:
- SIDEQUEST: Convince Purr Feckt to kick Mary out of this quest and bring him back into his own quest where he belongs!
(Jerry already got Mary a bunch of wood and seeds (you can see what they are here >>1030255) , now all that's left is to try to convince Purr Feckt to bring Mary back… Though if you want, Jerry did find a PREPAID INTERDIMENSIONAL WRISTPHONE at the black market to give to Mary before he heads back.)
- SIDEQUEST: Find some bananas for Ramona/Rachael to give her for free to improve customer satisfaction!
(Jerry already has Bananas in the BANK, he just needs to pick them up mind the item management)
SIDEQUEST: Give Purr Feckt some flowers to help with the NEGOTIATIONS for Mary
(Jerry can get some at the store)
SIDEQUEST: DON’T use the CLOTHING DESTRUCTION RAY GUN so Gerbera can give it to Snowpea in its highest quality
(Jerry failed this quest, but it doesn’t matter too much. He can probably refill it though at the BLACK MARKET and have Gerbera give it to her later… or not. It’s not Jerry’s highest priority)
SIDEQUEST: Succeed in Rocio’s challenge to not use an item on 5 separate UPDATES during a SITUATION or PROBLEM
(you have 4/5 left!)
SIDEQUEST: Get Eugene, or his disguise over to the Cardboard box in the Alley!
(COMPLETED)
REMINDER: you can return the VALUABLE AND DURABLE DIAMOND SEASHELL to the MUSHEUM for something great to happen… or sell it for a LOT of money at the BLACK MARKET to buy something super expensive there.
REMINDER: Purr Feckt will come look for you sometime after UPDATE 20, but will appreciate it if you see her sooner (she will not find you in the SECOND CHECKPOINT though, this is a safe area)
REMINDER: the chances that Purr Feckt will find out Jerry rummaged through her purse is currently 15%, but you can lower it more by switching the SWEATY WATER BOTTLE with regular water
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind you don’t have to finish ALL these sidequests. There are no completionist prizes in this quest, so don’t worry.

INVENTORY
Jerry ₵A$H:
1261
Gerbera ₵A$H:
0
Jerry Bank
- 4000
- Bananas
Gerbera bank
???
Jerry’s Hammerspace
- PURR FECKT’S PURSE (15% chance Purr will notice Jerry used it) - Jerry didn't steal this, he just hasn’t had the chance to return it to her yet after she left it at the courthouse. He’s serious! Contains her wallet, important evidence for another trial (hopefully one in the far future, Jerry would hate to have to deal with her today if she comes to get this), feminine products, keys (how did she get home without her car or house keys?), a pair of handcuffs. Water bottle full of sweat, And pretty much anything else you want. The more Jerry uses this, the higher the chance Purr Feckt will find out it’s been used. Currently at 15% chance she’ll find out.
- VALUABLE AND DURABLE DIAMOND SEASHELL - Sell it at a black market to make a LOT of ₵A$H (Jerry thinks there is one at both CHECKPOINTS. Though the second CHECKPOINT will most likely give more money for it) using it will decrease its value though. Jerry can return it to the MUSHEUM for something good to happen as long as you don’t use it until then (near the second checkpoint)! Jerry can use it to hide in for stealth, or to protect himselfself from attacks very easily (but it’s value will go down) Jerry isn’t giving it to P.I. Zzander, he’s an asshole who will take all the credit. But he can probably give it to Purr feckt to help negotiate in helping Mary.
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT # 2 - The sugar content is actually illegal in 17 different countries and consuming it will, for the briefest of moments, make your perception of time move SLOW, but after about [1 Update] you will suffer from an extreme crash of euphoria and a sugar coma.
- SCREWDRIVER - has a changeable tip. Phillips head AND Flat head all in one.
- ANTIPERSPIRANT DEODORANT – It is SUPER ABSORBANT, more than a towel… seriously, why the fuck is this even a deodorant and not marketed as a cleaning supply??? It won’t just absorb water, so be creative with what it can absorb when suggesting to use it! Also makes you and things less smelly!

>With Gerbera here, they will do some actions on their own unless you recommend they do something else. They will automatically leave with Jerry if he decides to continue the pizza delivery.
>WALK-INTO-A Bar
(can do TWO things with this action)
Listen to Jordan’s gossip
- Seems like she’s got some interesting information about MARINATION UNIVERSITY… but what could it be?
Get a drink
- Jerry will become INTOXICATED, which means the author (ME!) will for 5 updates, vote 1 point into HELP or SABOTAGE, and even vote which item he wants.
Talk to the Canine Monkey and mouse
- Jerry will remember who this person is, and might learn something important out of them depending on how things go.
Heat up the pizza
-if your pizza got cold, Jordan will allow you to borrow her oven and heat it up. Jerry doesn’t need to warm up the pizza.
.
>MUSHEUM
- You can give them back the VALUABLE AND DURABLE DIAMOND SEASHELL for something REALLY GREAT.
>BANK (can do multiple things)
- Lets Jerry withdraw or deposit ₵A$H
- Gerbera can do this too on their own, but the amount they’ll pull out can’t be controlled. They refuse to tell you how much they have.
- Jerry has 4000 ₵A$H in the bank and 1261 in pocket
-attempt to rob it (Jerry is not DESPERATE enough to do this)

>Go to the store!
- It’s recommended you stop at the BANK first to make a withdrawal.
- Jerry has 1261 ₵A$H in pocket, Gerbera has 0 ₵A$H
- They don’t allow you to buy stuff with your bank card for some reason. System must be broken probably. So go to the bank first.
-You can buy and sell LEGAL items here

- Jerry’s HAMMERSPACIAL DIMENSION is FULL. Consider throwing or selling items here.
- DON’T BE AFRAID TO SELL YOUR ITEMS HERE TO MAKE ROOM FOR OTHERS, this is the last CHECKPOINT after all.
BUY
- LUMBER AND TREE SEEDS = NAME YOUR PRICE! THE HIGHER, THE BETTER! (this will make Mary’s mood and friendship with Jerry SKYROCKET depending on how much Jerry buys, and will affect the ending depending on if you manage to find a way to get Mary back home. This won’t be in your inventory, Jerry will just have it shipped to the Pizzeria.) (Jerry already enough to get Mary’s farm going if he returns to his world, but he could always buy more)

- IMPORTED SPRING WATER BOTTLE = 500 ₵A$H (Expensive because it’s imported from a rare hot summers, which is better than a hot springs! can be used to hydrate.) (can replace the SWEATY WATER BOTTLE from the purse to decrease the percentage of Purr Feckt’s detection that Jerry used it by 5% bringing it down to 10%) (Expensive because it’s imported)
- VINEGAR’S HAIRPIN = YOU ALREADY GOT ONE
- CONWAY’S THONG = YOU ALREADY GOT ONE

- SCREWDRIVER = YOU ALREADY GOT ONE
- RICE = 5 ₵A$H (Good for drying out your phone. (Sweaty Kitty would probably like this)
- DUCT TAPE = 100 ₵A$H (Arguably the most overpowered item on this list. Can fix EVERYTHING!)
- DUCT TAPE GNNUY = 300 ₵A$H (It's a gun with little bnnuy ears at the end. it shoots a retractable roll of duct tape that you can use to pull yourself, but requires duct tape to reload after a few uses or the adhesive will wear off. Acts like a grappling hook, or a tape gun with a child friendly shape so it's not censored in over 17 countries! Kids love it, parents hate it! (can be merged with Duct tape)
- FLOWERS (NEW)= 20 ₵A$H (can be given to Purr Feckt to help convince her to help bring Mary home.)
- BATTERIES (NEW) = 10 ₵A$H (gives something POWER, like Gerbera’s RADIO
SELL
- PURR FECKT’S PURSE = select a value between 1-500 ₵A$H for the items Jerry will sell from inside the purse. (The more ₵A$H you want, the emptier the PURSE will be and the higher the percentage Purr Feckt will find out you used the purse increases, and the more you’ll stress Mary out)

- Jerry has 1261 ₵A$H in pocket, Gerbera has 50 ₵A$H
- They don’t allow you to buy stuff with your bank card for some reason. They probably don’t want any investigators to track this place through someone’s bank history.
-you can buy and sell ILLEGAL items here
- I have items listed, but I’m going to leave the rest to you for guys to come up with items! Please state what item you want there to be, and I’ll in a future post list them before the next update for you all to vote on with a price for each depending on the item’s effectiveness.
- If Gerbera is here, they’ll buy and sell items here too, but you don’t have control what they buy or sell. You can try to convince them to buy or sell certain things, or save ₵A$H

BUY
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT #1 (NEW) = 1000 ₵A$H (The sugar content is actually illegal in 17 different countries and consuming it will, for the briefest of moments, be really really tasty… That's it. It’s actually really the most attractive donut, and you can give it to someone to trade or negotiate for almost anything you want from them, materialistic or otherwise. But after about [1 Update] the person who eats it will suffer from an extreme crash of euphoria, a sugar coma.
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT #2 = YOU ALREADY GOT ONE
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT #5 = SOLD OUT
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT #6 (NEW) = 1000 ₵A$H (The sugar content is actually illegal in 17 different countries and consuming it will, for the briefest of moments, Make your eyes bug out, being able to have higher perception! but after about [1 Update] you will suffer from an extreme crash of euphoria, a sugar coma, and a desperate need to blink.
- ANGERY RUBBER DUCKY = 1200 ₵A$H (Its squeaks tauntS your target, making them angry enough to focus on attacking the person who is squeaking at them. Jerry thinks he can trick Gerbera into using it in a situation to make a getaway)
- WEED = 500 ₵A$H (technically not illegal anymore, but they still sell it to make it feel like the good ol’ days when it was illegal)
- MIND CONTROL DEVICE = 250,000 ₵A$H (Discounted and Nerfed (this will let you mind control your target. But it’s been patched since Jerry has been in the last CHECKPOINT, so it won’t make the quest too easy. Can only be used for 1 update and the price lowered.)
- CLOTHING DESTRUCTION RAY SQUIRT GUN = 1500 ₵A$H SOLD OUT
- AMMO FOR CLOTHING DESTRUCTION RAY SQUIRT GUN = 300 ₵A$H
- POWER CAPSULE = 500,000 ₵A$H (lets Jerry use a SUPER POWER for 1 UPDATE. The power is decided by what the voters want it to be.)
- JOTUND’S MIGHT = 400,000 ₵A$H (makes you bigger and stronger, almost as strong as Mr. Armstrong! can’t be reversed if used)
- FORTUNE TELLER HOTLINE = YOU ALREADY GOT ONE
- drone prototype = 2,000 ₵A$H (This was an invention from Jerry’s uncle… but it didn’t work out well. Somehow it ended up in the BLACK MARKET)
- TEAL SPOTTED MUSHROOM = 10,000 ₵A$H (Grants whoever eats it an extra life. Takes a frame rule (one update) to respawn... but will cause HALLUCINATIONS to occur.)
- ELECTRONIC MAIL = 400 ₵A$H (An envelope containing nothing but pure electricity. You have no idea how it works either.)
- SPECIAL MONOCLE = 2,300 ₵A$H (Has a number of properties such as X-Ray vision and true sight. Only has a limited number of charges however, and may cause meta slowdown by forcing the artist to animate the x-ray effect. Jerry thinks this might be more fitting for a tailor than a pizza delivery guy for some reason.)
A LYLUK BRAND SLUSHEE = 2 ₵A$H (A slushee of dubious origin that when drunk improves some of your stats for a few updates. Pizza flavored. (Gives Jerry +2 points for HELP in a SITUATION.) WARNING: HAS A 20% CHANCE TO EITHER MAKE JERRY SHITTY, OR TURN HIM INTO A LYLUK. (not recommended for Hippos.))
THE HOTTEST HOT SAUCE IN THE WORLD!!! = 600 ₵A$H (Guaranteed to melt your tongue or your money back! (May actually just be a jar filled with acid.))
- PREPAID INTERDIMENSIONAL WRISTPHONE (Equipment) = 1000 ₵A$H (Cell service that can cross dimensions, time is a bit wonky though, so some service exceptions may occur. But if you upgrade the service plan for an extra 2000 CA$H it CAN be reliable! Too bad you don't want to spend the extra cash. At least while you're here it works perfectly. Can be for Mary so he can communicate with Jerry if he goes back! Also so he can do stuff while he's still here in case it all goes tits up.)
- HIRE DYON (3 Months) = 20,000 ₵A$H/month (Dyon is a slime girl with the unique ability to copy and paste superpowers. Sometimes. Dyon can copy a power if she maintains contact for approximately thirty seconds; most powers will be removed from her menu after three months. Her paste therapy takes one month on average (give or take two weeks) and has a success rate of 100% for D-class powers, 50% for C-class powers, 30% for B-class powers, 10% for A-Class powers, and 5% for S-class powers. Dyon has permanently copied the [Electrokinesis], [Lesser Transmutation], and [Dreamstuff Pymary] abilities for herself and can use them at will. Dyon is a horrible employee. She demands payment up front, is brash and abrasive, almost never follows orders, and will bail the moment she can interpret a technicality in her contract. But if you can take the time to earn her loyalty, she'll renew her contract for peanuts and may even increase her copying success rate.) (NEW)
- VORETEX = 250,000 ₵A$H (Every vore fetishist wants one of these. This cyber-psionic augmentation creates a user-friendly portal to a pocket dimension in their orifice, which connects to a giant bio-module attuned to the user's DNA. Long story short, anything that gets eaten will fit. Banned in all civilized eating contests. Rumors of the ability to vacuum objects are considered silly.)
- A KODAMA DOLL DRESSED LIKE A MAGICAL GIRLl = 5 ₵A$H (You're not sure why this is at the black market - is that the shriek of an angry harpy in the distance? Grumpy insists you buy now or never speak of this again.)
- ONE-WAY DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL DEVICE = 1,000,000 ₵A$H (RESERVED). (Apparently it’s a device that can allow someone to travel to any dimension they want, provided they know the coordinates. However, it only has enough power for one use, so it’s a one-way trip. Looks like somebody is already going to buy it. So he can’t buy it.)
SELL
- WATER BOTTLE FULL OF THE SWEATY KITTY’S SWEAT = 1,000 ₵A$H (but the detection level will go up by 10% (total 25%)
-PURR FECKT’S PURSE = Besides the water bottle full of the Sweaty Kitty’s sweat, They find nothing of interest, but don’t tell Purr Feckt that… actually, do tell her, it’ll be funny.
- VALUABLE AND DURABLE DIAMOND SEASHELL = 1,000,000 ₵A$H
- ILLEGAL POWDERED DONUT #2 = 500 ₵A$H
- SCREWDRIVER = They are not interested.
- ANTIPERSPIRANT DEODORANT = They are not interested.
>Read a newspaper
-Learn some lore, get hints, look at advertisements, get a sidequest, and other stuff.
- Has something about a virus going around affecting people, ads, and info on certain streets he’s heading to catches Jerry’s eyes.
>Chill with Vincent and/or Harmon
- They might give you some helpful advice, or maybe give you a side-quest.
- Harmon and/or Vincent can potentially help you convince Good ol Grumpy to give you a DISCOUNT at the BLACK MARKET,. But it all depends on how your negotiations go with each of them, what you give them, and who is with you. a dice roll will determine afterwards whether they will join you or not
- base percentage of one of them helping is 50% each
- depending on what Jerry tells them to help decrease the price could either increase, or decrease the percentage, choose your words wisely! Or don’t. Have fun with it!
- You’re chances to get their help after spending another action to talk to them after each fail increases by 10%
- you can spend multiple actions to try to get their help in each UPDATE
- your chances to get their help also improves by giving them a certain pizza with various results (you can only give one pizza related item to one of them)
(A piece of the customer’s pizza increases by 50% (will decrease customer satisfaction though))
-Vincent will automatically help you if you got WEED (you don’t have any, Find some in the BLACK MARKET maybe)
-you can only give one person one item per action
-Your chances to get their help might increase or decrease depending on who you’re with.
(Mary has no effect on the percentage)
(Gerbera decreases chance of recruiting one or both of them by 30%, they think Gerbera is UNCOOL)
-Current percentage of getting Harmon or Vincent’s help at getting a discount is currently 20% each
>All purpose repair store
-fixes something you broke,
>talk/text someone
- Can be anyone you want
- Up to 3 people can be talked to in this action.
>ITEM MANAGEMENT (this is a free action and won’t count towards an action, this includes throwing an item away, or putting an item in or out of your inventory)
>Leave
This will continue Jerry’s Pizza journey.
