You're having a difficult time remembering its name.
"It's a uh, Wendiggler. Obviously. Come on you should know that." You try to sound confident to make the lie more believable and scribble it in your journal with your permanent marker.

"Yeah whatever. You just made that up on the spot."

+100 EXP for finding and naming the creature.

"The dark is over, my time has arrived."
The Wendiggler, as it will be forever named from now on, turns to you.
"As thanks for the treats we will share with you what we know, a single question is yours to ask."
It feels like it's given up on the rhyming now that it has your food.

Where is the owner of that severed arm?

>a single question is yours to ask.
Is there a particular place it lives/hangs out at? Is it open to visits maybe? (Especially if we bring snacks)

How do you beat the Gingerbread Man in Shrek: Fairy Tale FreakDown?

The arm.
We need to know who it came from and who severed it.
If we ask "whos is it?" This cheeky bun muncher will answer "yours" or "no bodies" or some other tricky answer.

>>1102726
OHHH GOOD IDEA smart idea support

Can I introduce you to my friend, Dr. Avery?

WHY was there a severed arm back there. did YOU do that?

You jump at the opportunity. "How do you beat the Gingerb-"

Nathan is already barking over you with a question of his own:
"Where is the person the arm belongs to?"

"Aw man that's a way better question."

In response the creature points a bony finger to the hills northeast of town.

"For many moons the forests have emptied, one by one voices go quiet. Tonight the chorus grows."

"Weird and cryptic. Not super helpful." Nathan poops on the party."I liked it better when you rhymed, at least that was fun."

I'm sorry Riley, she's dead.

>>1105088
...I don't think we want to investigate that while it's still dark. We should go.

Respond with a NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

"...Can you put her soul in my boob?"

>>1105088
Dont let that hit you just yet riley.
You need to hyperfocus for just one moment.

Need to remember exactly where you are standing.
Everything around you so you can get back to this exact spot in daylight.
Then all we have to do is remember:
"Two small one tall"
Its like a rifle sight aimed right at that flash of light.
Thats a direction.
A compass would give us a reading to follow in the trees and we'd need...
Oh god.
Shes dead.

Home sounds good right now. Home. Lights on. Lots of blankets.

>>1105099
Time to stress/comfort eat when we get home as we lost all our pastries

>>1105087
This is awesome. You can tell all your bandmates about it. Hopefully you aren't too late for practice.

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.

>>1105774
Yeah you totally promise you didn't poke the arm.

>>1105774
Promiseeedidntthankyoubyenow

Then abscond before whoever that is in the car has your features etched into their memory.

Pinky promise! Wait, do you have pinkies?

>>1105774
Of course you didn't. Maybe some bird came down and took something off it, but that makes you in possession of stolen goods at most, and you can't be held liable for the behavior of some animal, even if it talks.

>>1105774
Is that a racoon person to the side of you in a dumpster spying on you?

>>1105771
Do you have a cousin named rigby?

"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...

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.

under the mat is too obvious
but what about taped to the bottom of the mat?

>>1114100
look for open window first or just knock beacuse the lights are on

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.


At least that one didnt have eyes to STARE AT YOU in the way only a Horrible (Plastic) Bird can...

>>1114107
Inside that horrors mouth or under his platform would be a great place to hide a spare key.

Lights are on, is anyone home?

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 take out your frustrations on something that can't fight back, squeezing the life out of its weird staring eyes.

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.

Where's the food?

>You haven't eaten all day

yeah you did: https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1044452.html#1070235

take a handful of whatever is left in your pet's food dish.

>>1115075
Damn, bitch, you live like this?

Uh.
I mean, yeah.
Food.
Late night snacks.
Something simple, yet a match for you refined taste and elegant manners.
Cereal.
From the box.
Boner ape tits.

Munch that raw instant ramen. You know you have some, and that you can't be bothered to do any cooking.

Dig in your house full of wood shavings to see if you can find any food pellets that scattered from your dish. Then lick repeatedly at your giant hamster bottle to wash it down.

>>1115122
Id done the "damn bitch" comment cause at first i thought it was a junk strewn room.

Eventually twigged it was a perspective of her pet hamster or whatever rodent she keeps, but had already pressed enter so... eh.
Its probably a messy floor anyway.

How dead is your hamster?

Bummer. Missed band practice entirely, huh? ...Assuming those drums aren't going to leer dramatically out of the shadows and assault you.
