Early autumn is pleasant in Cedar Ridge. Summer's hottest days are behind you and the shade of the Douglas fir trees that blanket the town keep the underbrush cool.

North of the lake that divides the town are sets of woods. Interrupted only by mud roads and storm drains that rarely see use outside of the rainy season. This grove is only a mile from the town's one high school. Frequented by teens and alcoholics alike for bonfire parties that leaves the smell of ash in the air. This far east into Oregon the breeze is warm and sluggish, trapped in by mountain ranges.

From where you stand you can hear when the occasional truck passes through Cedar Ridge's main road. Barely. It helps you keep your facing when you're unsure which way is home.

You are in the north in the outskirts of town.

You try to leave, maybe they're still waiting for you, but Nathan holds you back with his sweaty hand.
You smack it away before he can grab you again.

"I'll let you and your friend go, if you promise me you didn't touch anything." He's still mad about the arm as if there isn't a ghost hanging out over here. "I'm serious Riley."
All things considered it's a kind offer from a guy whose nuts you kicked.

Bright car lights sting your eyes, looks like company's on the way. Better to get out of here before more losers show up.

"Promiseeedidntthankyoubyenow." Eager to get the heck out of here you stumble over your words.

"Here-" Nathan thrusts the flashlight into your hands before you can scurry away into the dark. "In case your friends in the costume show up again." He says it sarcastically, he thinks you're stupid.

Going home in the dark would suck, even with your good vision. Look at how blue things are, you can't see shit.

He turns away from you to wave to the oncoming car, when it stops the sound of its old hand break echoes in the street. You're already getting the heck out of there.

The fuzz get here but they're too late to catch you. Sherrif Murphey swaggers up to the scene like he owns the place.
"Photo guys are right behind, did we miss something?"

Nathan considers the question.
"No."

The walk back home is short and in that time your adrenaline has worn off. It's cold without your jacket.

NoooOOoooOOoo
You are so late for band practice. You don't have a key, but you're not sleeping in the grass again so you'll need to find a way inside.

There's probably a spare key around here somewhere...
>>
No. 1114101 ID: ea9451

You don’t need no stupid key, just throw another rock at your window to break it and get in. If anyone says anything, tell them you’ve heard people’s windows were getting broken, as it happened at the trailer park too

Check under the mat and above the doorframe. Look for any fake rocks a key could be hidden in, or maybe even check the lawn ornaments.

Check with the Suspiciously Menacing Flamingo first, maybe he's got you covered?

Try not to consider the fact that, in the darkness like this, it's a little (LOT) more menacing than the spooky ghost lady.

You don't need to hunt for keys or break windows. Do you hear music? Are they practicing without you? Just bang on the door. Someone's in there. If there's no one to hear you beating on the door there's no reason to go in there anyway.

You're so glad to be back in a panel that isn't blue.

There's no music, and the only light still on is in the kitchen. As far as you can tell you're home alone.

Your body's telling you it's time for sleep. Best to finish this day sooner than later.

Before that, your stomach grumbles. You haven't eaten all day and are s t a r v i n g. If you don't eat now tomorrow's going to suck.

You can't hear anyone, that's a pretty good sign you're alone. Shane is not a quiet person. Looks like you're too late. It's not even your fault!

This isn't a hamster, they're rats. And they're the food: the actual pet is in this one.

Grant has a cool snake.
Well it's pretty cool. It doesn't know any tricks or anything. Actually it's a little boring. Snakes spend a lot more time sleeping than you expected, but you got to feed it once!

Grant doesn't let you touch it.

There's proably something in the kitchen!

Cereal is a good idea, there's always cereal! It's better than wood shavings.
You keep a box of the super-sugary stuff in the cupboard.
There's also some good stuff in the top of the fridge but Grant doesn't let you touch that.

The kitchen is cold and quiet, the hum of the fridge is all the company you have. The rude word art you left on the fridge this morning has been meddled with to hold up a note.

The note is in Grant's handwriting.

"Drop off @ Bend
if ur not paying rent do chores
fill the fridge"

That's it.

Oh fuck, there's $20 on the back!

+20 dollars

That means you have uh... um... $27 and 75 cents. Largely in change.

Looks like band practice isn't happening after all, but you came out of this way richer. This is the richest you've been in months! Money helps distract from the sadness.

Ah, Bunther's Booty. This cereal is banned in three states, which only makes it more alluring. Knowing you're breaking some rule somewhere makes it taste better. But that's probably all the sugar.

Your mom has a thing for Bunther; it's probably the uniform. You don't see it personally, but your dad won't allow it in the house because of it.

You have a bad habit of eating only the marhmallow bits. Digging your hand in your rustle about to and find any but unfortunately they're all gone. Leaving you with a box of dry, grain cereal.

This is barely food. There's probably more nutrition in the carboard box.

Whatever. It's something at least. You'll make yourself a bowl.


Going to end the night after this. If there's anything you want to do before then say your piece before we move to day 2.

Those letters on the fridge are in perfect position to spell a obviously fun word

arrange it to say "BUST" and then take the extra T with you. You never know when a "T" will come in handy later

After cereal is done, put the box of Bunther's Booty (part of this complete breakfast) in the fridge to finish the fill fridge quest and then go to bed.

You need to eat all of it so you can buy more for the marshmallows, its less food by food so you need to eat more of it, you know you can do it, if you like pour sugar on it or Melt butter ontop.
Perhaps boiling it into a porrage with a small bit butter, whipped cream, milk and a pinch of Artificial Vanilla sugar boiling it up then getting it stay warm on the lower two heat settings while sitting for 4 minutes as the grain soaks it up.
Its about exactly one and a half amount of grain by volume that is the added fluid

Ensure you arrange the fridge magnets in the rudest phrase available. Butts seems like a low hanging fruit though.

I don't see baking turning out well. Better to get food that's simple to cook.

Rice and beans are cheap yeah, but don't forget store bought bread and pasta. Eggs tend to be affordable (even in this fucked up economy) and sometimes groceries have short-lived sales to get rid of food that's about to expire; you can take advantage of that. Might even be possible to find someone selling bruised or unattractive produce at a steep discount.
