Dude, no. I did NOT just make out with a mannequin.

No way, Joses. I'm not touching that creepy thing.

I'M SCAMPERIN'! Now that I have this flashlight, I'm sure I can make it through the old station! Something about the place gives me the creeps, but I think that's probably the only way out, since the fence that surrounds the perimeter is electrified. Though it occurs to me I have no idea what's to the south of here, since Jason never took me over there...

Still. I head for the station.

I pause outside the station and run my flashlight over the inside. Looks like one of the stacks of junk inside has collapsed into a huge pile... sheesh, isn't that just my luck tonight? I look around on the inside to see if there's any easy path or maybe a way to climb over it.

As I'm evaluating my options, I hear a loud, pained scream ringing out behind me...

There's no mistaking that voice. It's Jason!

Press X to JASON!

>one of the stacks of junk inside has collapsed into a huge pile

[You don't think...]

>pained scream
I'd say to leave him behind because there's nothing you can do for him, (no weapons, tools, untrained, and against something undead) but it seems the path ahead is impassible. Look for any tools on top or off to the side that you can get without it affecting the pile at all. We're gonna have to go back the way we came in a sec.

... so on a scale from one to 10 how seeing you have brought back one dead guy, what do you think the chances are that your would be boyfriend or you would also come back as a zombie if either of you bit it? Just asking before we go running off into the night without any idea of what could be out there and no idea where the things we actually know about are.

>I pause outside the station and run my flashlight over the inside. Looks like one of the stacks of junk inside has collapsed into a huge pile... sheesh, isn't that just my luck tonight?
It's too bad your inventory was almost completely empty and there's no value in looting your own corpse. (There was the guitar, but it'll be crushed too).

>There's no mistaking that voice. It's Jason!
Turn around. Can you see him?

This is either him pranking you, in which case you need to kick his ass. Or this is real, and you can't leave someone to be eaten by a zombie!

Take a moment to quietly ponder what your favorite musician(s) would do in this scenario.

I stop and close my eyes to try and calm myself, thinking about what Joan Jett would do if she were here.

Yeah… that seems about right. I feel a little better now.

I see a lot of things to potentially injure myself with, but not anything to potentially injure Sledge with. Bummer.

Besides, I don't want to go in any further. Call it a bad feeling.

> Turn around. Can you see him?

No, but I can still hear him out there. I think he's crying. From the sound of it, he must be near where we originally performed the ritual.

where'd you two do the deed?

>>655587
Well, you probably shouldn't leave him to die. Go back. Be careful, see if you can find him without Sledge spotting you.

> where'd you two do the deed?

Jeez, I said we were only on first base—

Oh wait, you mean the dead-rising stuff? There's a pair of defunct tracks that go into the station. We did it aways down those tracks. It's not far from the station, even, but it's not visible from there because there are trains on both tracks.

> Well, you probably shouldn't leave him to die. Go back. Be careful, see if you can find him without Sledge spotting you.

I turn off my flashlight and walk slowly along the tracks. If Sledge is nearby, I can't see or hear him.

Jason, on the other hand, is easy to find. He's whimpering and cursing while he drags himself along the ground, away from the track. His leg is in bad shape. It's bleeding a lot, and I think I see some bone.

I have to help him!

Go over, help him up, he can hobble along using you as support.

Ask him what the fuck is up with that mannequin at the fire.

Look around for the baddie, then go over and shush him. Does he want the zombie to find you?

Check how bad his leg is. Do you have any cloth you could use to bind it? (Sacrifice a sleeve or jacket from someone, maybe). There's plenty of material around if you need to brace it, at least.

Also yeah, ask wtf is with the mannequin.

I glance around for Sledge. I don't see him, but there are like a million places he could be hiding right now, if hiding is a thing that zombies do, so I try to make it snappy when I head over to Jason's side to help him and also shut him up. But the second he sees me, he totally flips out! He practically falls over himself trying to get away, and keeps on making noise even when I try to shush him.

"Chill!" I hiss at him. "It's just me!"

He stops trying to run, but he just keeps crying out, all "No! No, no, no!" and pulls something out of his pocket.

I'm trying to figure out what it is when I hear something, like a crunch— like the sound of a boot grinding into gravel.

"He's right behind me, isn't he?"

DO A BARREL ROLL.

no really, unless there's a railroad spike pinning his leg to the ground he should still be able to roll out of the way of the hammer.

>>655742
Dodge, spray beer cans in his face.

Scream with the most annoying pitch you can, maybe you can stun him.

I can't find anything in this stupid pile of trash! What am I even supposed to do? Ugh, this is so frustrating!

Yeah, a real headache isn't it.

There's probably not much you can do to help out Jason (no weapon and all that) and your way out this way seems blocked. Head to the south part of the train yard to see if you can find a way out or something to defend yourself with.

>>655826
Time for some exploration. Head south.

nothing here, guess you just have to keep moving tell you find something useful.

> Head south

I don't like leaving Jason alone out there, but I'll come back for him ASAP! For now, though, I head south as quickly and quietly as I can, sticking to the shadows, until I reach the end of the yard.

I see a big crane, like the type with a magnet on the end. It's behind a tall, electrified fence, though, and on top of that there's a padlock on the gate door.

There's also a small shed here. Let's take a peek inside, shall we?

File 143694815183.png - (376.08KB , 514x352 , shed.png )

The door is locked, but there's nothing to keep me from looking inside. I see:

* A key
* A hard hat
* A fusebox
* A small desk with a plastic chair
* A dumb poster
* A framed picture of some guy's kids. Gotta be honest, they're pretty ugly.

Find some cloth, wrap it around your face and hands. Then take any hard stick and smash the window.

>>656024
I expect that key opens the door to the crane. You might be able to use the crane to fight Sledge, or at least use it to bust an escape route.

>>656023
How tall are those rail cars? See any easy way of climbing them?(would you need someone to boost you up?) How far/high of a gap is it between the fence and the end of the last one? (possible exit)

>>656029
You can use your vest to cover them up if you go with this.

I find the fuse box promising, you need to try to get in there.

>Magnet crane
Ooh! We could snag Sledge's sledge. Or use it to drop things on him.

If I can get up there, I could jump the fence, but it'd be a rough landing on the other side! And I would need a boost. Maybe Jason could help me up? Or maybe not, with his leg busted up like that...

> Find some cloth, wrap it around your face and hands. Then take any hard stick and smash the window.

Okay, lessee. Step one, find a stick. Stick, stick... aha, I see a rail spike! It's totally METAL, just like me. That's good enough to smash a window or two!

I'm not ripping up my vest except in strategically awesome-looking ways, so I can't use it to cover both my face and my hands. But I have a better idea! Ta-daaah!

Owwwwww!

...I'm fine! Fine. I don't think I'm cut up. Shit, glass is really hard! Nobody ever tells you that. Why didn't I just throw it?

Anywho, I'll get on clearing out that glass in just a sec. But that'll take me awhile, so I guess... just keep me company, okay? Like if you want to ask me anything, you can ask me now.

That spike should make a good weapon. Take the plastic chair, it should be useful when pushing back enemies.

You're going to need food, water, and ammunition. Check the fuse box, see what you can turn on. Focus on getting the lights and any security controls. Turn off any power guzzlers, they might overload the system.

>should have thrown it
Then it might have bounced off and hit you in the face or something. A controlled hit with improvised safety gear was marginally safer.

>just keep me company, okay? Like if you want to ask me anything, you can ask me now.
So how'd you meet Jessie, anyways.

Did he say anything about why he wanted to do this sledge thing? I mean, I guess murder zombies are pretty metal, but still.

So it's just you and your dad, huh?

>with his leg busted up like that
...How do you know that? [Didn't she see that in the space where she died?]

You remember anything about how you did the ritual? (magic book that might give you clues on how to kill him or something?)

Yeah, Mom died when I was a kid. But Dad and I are doing all right these days.

The only thing open past 7:00pm in this pathetic friggin town is the Wal*Mart. I met Jason in the CD section a couple of hours ago.

> Did he say anything about why he wanted to do this sledge thing? I mean, I guess murder zombies are pretty metal, but still.

So it's sort of like, an urban legend coming-of-age thing around here? You go to the tracks, hit them with a hammer, and try to call Edward Sledge. Maybe your friend jumps out of the bushes and shouts "BOO." Sledge doesn't actually come and start murdering people.

But Jason, I guess he's one of Sledge's descendants, right? So he got this idea that it would be extra scary if he dropped some of his blood on the hammer and said some like, backtracking "Sad Satan" sounding type stuff.

I don't know any special way of beating him. I was sorta assuming zombie rules. Unless it's one of those things where you have to kill him the same way he originally croaked? I dunno.

H-hey! Look, I'm inside now!

Get key. Wear hardhat. ...what's that, a lockbox on the wall?

Don't step on / trip over the inbox on the desk. Don't climb down using the wheely chair, that's a good way to break your neck if it slips.

>Unless it's one of those things where you have to kill him the same way he originally croaked?
That's an idea. How did he originally die? I notice the hole in his face.

Yes. Get the first two things, investigate the third.

Equip hardhat, pocket key and open fusebox.

The switches are all labeled. He's a miser, but at least he's organized, huh? From top to bottom: OFFICE, FENCE, LIGHTS 1, LIGHTS 2. Right now office and fence are on. Both lights are off.

>>657806
Switch off the fence, you'll be able to climb on it or otherwise touch it. May as well turn on the lights too, so that you can see Sledge a bit easier.

>How do I look?
Great!

Turn off the electric fence, and turn on light sets one and two; also, turn off the office power.(might as well, no reason not to right now.) By the way, do you see *anything* electronic in the room you're in, anything that would be connected to the breaker? (I don't see any lamps, or computers or anything, and a single light switch seems like it wouldn't be worth its own breaker section) [worried about tripping alarms]

Fence off, lights on.

To the crane, baby.

Switch Office off, turn both lights on.
