You go back to the area where you hung the fliers up last week. There is a small apartment complex there with some lights on. It is pretty active for a Sunday night, and you hear sounds coming from various units. You decide to knock on the one with…


a) thumping
b) music
c) laughter

>>727324
I uh, think it might be wise to set the bat down at some point before doing any of that

thumping for sure though

Bat goes in bag.
Chuck goes to thumppenhaüs.

Let's not go the room with the thumping, we don't want to cock block someone. Instead let's head to the one with music, I think Selma and Naz might be the one with music.

>>727336
logic seems sound.

>>727336
Yeah.

Was today the day of the party?

Music seems best one to ask at if it ends up not being their place.

>>727324
I'd say check for a reception and ask but where's the fun in that?
Nah go for music

>>727325
For sure, this isn't Hotline: Coxwette.

>>727342
Today is the party at Selma and Naz's, home of the ball-thumping action.

Go to the thumping, Chuck.

music

Pump up the tunes!

Thumping. UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS

Laughter?

You follow the music, and it grows louder and clearer as you approach the lower floor beneath the balcony. It’s a single voice accompanied by a crunchy electric guitar playing improvised blues licks.



”Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose…”



“and nothin’ don’t mean NOTHIN’ if it ain’t free!!”

“Feelin’ good was EASY LAW-AWD WHEN HE SANG THE BLUES!”

“And feelin’ good is good enough for me…”

Bye bye birdie

Keep looking.

Start clapping.

>>727488
This.

>>727489
No time.

What do you wanna bet she's naked behind that curtain?

Yell "FREE BIRD!!!" and hide.

On second thought, you decide not to waste any time on this bird’s nonsense. Unless you want to just start knocking on random doors, that just leaves you with the two other sounds to follow:

a) thumping
b) laughter

Thumpety thump.

Laughter.

Thumping.
It's Sunday evening. On Sunday evening there's a ball-thumping bocce tournament at Selma's apartment, which is also Naz's apartment since they live together.

>>727504
Ohhh you're right.

Thumping

You follow the thumping next, knocking on the door. When it opens, the sound is sharper.

Selma: “Oh”

Selma: “Hi Chuck”

>>727507
"Hey Selma, Naz there?"

Tell her Naz said you should come over, are they setting up the Bocce tournament?

"I heard this is where a guy should go to play with his balls?"

>>727507
Sorry Selma I'm looking for tell Naz room

Selma does not seem disappointed at all that you are looking for Naz. She leads you inside, where Naz and Geoff are standing in the living room. Both are wearing pajamas, and Naz is carrying a bowl with a grilled cheese sandwich in it.

Naz:

Naz: “Oh right”

Naz: “Yeah, I invited Chuck over. No wonder someone is actually showing up to this thing.”

Geoff: “HI Chuck!”


a) “So when does the bocce start?”
b) “Should I be in my underwear, too?”
c) “Ready to rehearse, Naz?”
d) “Wait, I’m the only one who showed up?”
e) Other >_

>>727512
What, it's that close to 7 PM already? That can't be right, how'd it take 3 hours to go to the shoppe and back?

B.

B and start to undress before she has time to respond.

A bowl for grilled cheese? Is it also full of hot soup too, or did they just run out of plates?

B & D.

>>727504
It's about 5, I'd guess. Not sure how long it takes to walk across Coxwette.

Anyway, B. Ask if you can make yourself a sandwich, too.
We should get Naz Alone before we come on too strong.

B and sammich

B and sammich

>>727517
Second.

A and B

You: “Should I be in my underwear, too?”

Naz: “Sure, I mean if you want”

Geoff: “Definitely, I’d say”

You set down your shopping bag and strip down to your boxers without hesitation.

You: “Am I the only only one who showed up?”

Selma: “Yeah…”

Selma: “I haven’t lost hope, though. It’s only five.”

Naz: “Oh come on, no one ever comes to these. This is probably the best we’re going to get. Selma, can you help me with the snacks?”

Naz and Selma leave the room.

Geoff gives you a pleasant smile, walking over.

Geoff: “Selma talks about you sometimes…”

You: “Bad things, I hope-”

Geoff: “What happened to your back, man?”

Geoff: “Wait…”

Geoff: “No, no…”

With trembling hands, Geoff lifts up his shirt.

"Nice abs, bruh."

I think we might have solved the gender imbalance mystery.

ALIENS.

That soup Ramona made for you must have had souper-natural healing powers.
