Monday morning, 7:45AM. You’re walking down the main drag toward the bakery, surrounded by the somber morning ritual in a little town called Coxwette.

It’s time for work again. A whole day, a whole week of work. You go to the bakery and push open the door, ringing the little bell hanging above it.

Marcie gasps.

Marcie: “CHUCK!!”

Marcie: “Good mooorniiiiing!!!”

a) “Morning.”
b) “Good mooorniiiing!”
c) “Shut up, Marcie.”
d) [kiss Marcie]
e) >__

give her the D

Id say A but with a bit of smile on your face. (cause you know marcie will cheer you up) You have the right to be sad/grumpy about what happened, even though it may be your fault.

Hopefully she asks about it so you can vent a bit. (Using the word prank)

>>736170
Compromise. C and D.

b

No D dudes. We just flipped at Naz for a lack of consent. An uninvited kiss is mad hypocrisy.

Actually not b but A. Shouldnt try to force an enthusiasm that isnt there

Go with a.

Be honest with yourself. C.

A, guessing you're not feeling too great, so just the standard response here.

That depends on you, Chuck. How important is your relationship with Marcie to you? You don't have to be cheerful but consider the fact that right about now, you need all the friends you can get.

Because there is probably a good reason why Coxwette has so few men and why Davey, despite being an asshole, hates the place.

Be careful. You don't want to give anyone else a reason to go digging up your history.

How can you live with yourself

A for now. If she sees your spirits are down maybe she'll kiss your give you a hug

A. Forcing happiness into your voice never works.

>>736184
https://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/96965.html

A)

E) a weird mumbling sound that sounds vaguely like "Morning".

A.

C and D, but with affection.

She might as well know we're dowbeat.

(A)
You went to bed last night thinking of Marcie's smile and now you get the genuine thing, so give her a cheery Morning and maybe even a hug.

A.

B

Voting for A.

Chuck, do you at least have a condom in your pocket now?

Marcie: “I hope you’ve got your good PEDALIN’ LEGS on today! Monday’s the busiest day of the week for pastry orders, and you’ve got a mighty big load to pull out.”

You: “I’ve only got one set of legs, so…”

You had a joke for this, but it’s just not coming to you this morning.

You go out and grab the bicycle, and Marcie starts cheering you on out the front door.

Marcie: “CHUCK! CHUCK! CHUCK! CHUCK!”


Welcome to your first full week of work for Marcie. Your delivery order is:

1. Café
2. Library
3. Schoolhouse
4. Shoppe Stoppe
5. Post Office
6. City Hall
7. Police Station

Now that you have become so accustomed to your route, you can time-skip through your deliveries by way of vote. NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT BACKTRACK DURING THE WORK DAY. This means, for example, that if you skip the Schoolhouse, you won’t be able to go back to visit there until after you make your final delivery. Now get to it!

>>736282
Skip Shoppe Stoppe.

Penny will probably want to know if we screwed her sister.
Library HAHAHA should be great
Always talk to Angela every time you can
I think Ellen could stand to be left alone actually
Rita is cool
Gotta waggle eyebrows at Lisa
FLIRT WITH THE POLICE

>>736282
Skip library. Everything else is still alright.

Skip 3, 4, 5

Not expecting great things from 2, but we still gotta.

>>736289

The skipping isn't actual skipping, Chuck will still physically go there and deliver. We're just choosing who we want/don't want to have an interaction with. So we can probably stand to skip most things.

Skip Library and Schoolhouse.
I don't think good things will come from going to either.

>>736297
We're going to them regardless. The vote is just "do we get to suggest to talk about anything other than the delivery itself"

I say skip the Post office. All the others are good, interesting things everywhere but the post office.

You decide that you’ll speed through your deliveries to the Shoppe Stoppe, the Schoolhouse, and the Library. You will avoid talking to anyone there, and simply drop off the pastries.



You pedal to the cafe. It’s a little harder to keep balanced with the huge basket of pastries. Penny waves to you with a small smile on her face.

Penny: “Oh, you can set that stuff down right there on the table. Could you take the sandwich rolls over to the counter, though?”

You: “No problem, Penny.”

Penny: “Thank ya kindly. You sure look starvin’”

Penny: “Here honey, have an orange!”

Penny tosses you an orange, and you thank her. Do you have anything to talk to her about this morning?

>>736316
Screw with her in an attempt to cheer yourself up and say how hard you railed her sister.

>>736316
Tell her you ate Marcie's cake last night, it was delicious.

Tell her thanks, and ask if she knows why Naz has such a prank fixation. And if she knows anything about people being attacked in the town and surrounding area. Any unsolved crimes?

Talking about how good Marcie's cake was sounds funny. Add innuendos as you see fit.

You stash away the orange.

You: “Marcie’s cake was pretty sweet.”

Penny rolls her eyes.

You: “Moist, too-”

Penny: “Woah. Easy. That’s still my niece you’re talkin’ about.”

Penny: “I’m glad you two had fun. Just as long as you were safe about it.”

Penny: “You’re an awful cute couple.”

You do smile a little bit, even if you don’t have much of a reason to.

You: “Before I go, can you tell me anything about Naz?”

Penny: “From the library?”

You: “Yeah”

Penny: “Not much I know, honestly. She keeps to herself most of the time, knows computers real well.”

You: “Do you know anything about her pranks?”

Penny: “Pranks…?”

…

a) Tell Penny about Naz’s pranking fixation
b) Change subject to the monsters in the woods
c) Leave for your next delivery
d) >__

Honestly she might not be the best to ask about it but it might be good to find out about Naz's pranks.

B. She seems well informed, maybe we can get some info.

Sorta a/d: "She's been pranking me a lot, recent one went over the line a bit. I was just wondering if she was known for that sort of thing or if it's something about me."

Seems like Naz' pranking nature is largely unknown, so if she just goes "no" then b.

I think we should probably head out.

C) "Oh, nothing."

C) I don't mind mentioning she's a bit of a prankster, but going into it with any detail is blug.

A, and mention how you were just teasing about the Marcie thing

C

C. Doesn't seem like she knows and there's no reason to push the subject.

>>736332
B sound more interesting then option A, so ask that. Also, D mentioning that you were talking about ACTUAL cake earlier, no innuendo.

You: “I was talking about an actual cake by the way. Marcie made me a welcome cake on my first day of work.”

Penny: “That’s lovely, it truly is. Marcie’s about as sharp as a ball peen hammer, but she sure is sweet.”

You smile and pause for a bit, looking up at the clock.

You: “Have you heard anything about people being attacked out in the woods?”

Penny: “Huh? What, did something happen?”

You: “Yeah, I… uh, I was attacked. This is going to sound crazy, but there was this wrinkly guy in a sheet who attacked me after saying some kind of Bible verse.”

Penny: “You… might want to tell the police about that. People could really get hurt.”

You give her some more details about where it was and what the creature looked like.

You: “Honestly I’m just glad you believe me. Not everyone has.”

Penny: “If you’re lying, then you’re pretty darn good at it, and you wouldn’t have any reason to.”

Penny: “I just want Marcie safe. If the police aren’t gonna help, I’ll protect her myself.”

You nod, then back toward the door.

You: “I should go. More deliveries.”

Penny: “Stay safe.”


You head to the library next, resisting the urge to peer in past the front desk. After that, the schoolhouse and the shoppe. The load on the LFGPB is lighter now, making it easier to ride around. Your legs are probably getting pretty swole at this point. Your next stop will be the Post Office. Will you stop in to talk to Rita, or just drop off the goods?

>>736363
Talk to Rita! Ask her where Harold Pal lives.

>>736363
I wanna talk to Rita. Ask her if there's anyone we haven't met in town!

You enter the post office, ringing the doorbell. Every shop in Coxwette seems to have one of those stupid things. Rita is there, leaning over the counter with her knees on the seat of her chair as she tends to do. She is looking at a stack of two envelopes that came in the mail.

Rita: “Who’s-”

Rita: “Oh, hey Chuck. Cookie?”

You: “Yup.”

She sighs and thanks you for the delivery. You stop and lean against the counter yourself.

You: “Do you know where Harold Pal lives?”

Rita looks at you.

Rita: “…who?”

You get a cold sweat.

a) “Nevermind.”
b) “You know, the old tortoise guy?”
c) “Something wrong? You look a little bummed.”

You: “You know, Harold Pal, the old tortoise guy?”

Rita: “Tortoise? No, sorry. I don’t know who that is.”

Hm.

You: “Anyway. Something wrong? You seem kind of bummed.”

Rita had gone back to looking at the envelopes already.

Rita: “Huh? Wha?”

Rita: “Oh, no, I’m fine. Just… really bored. Really bored. You have no idea how little mail we get.”

I'm sure there's some fun we could get up to together.

I vote we make an innuendo about making the day more interesting with her.

Use them eyebrows.
"Well what kind of fun would you like to have at this job?"

After all that's happened, it probably best we just move on to the next delivery

>>736391
"you could try sending out notices to spam mailers, if you really want more work."

Still too tired to turn on the charm.

Maybe mention Geoff said he got attacked at some point, see if she has an insight.

You: “I’m sure we could find something fun to do together.”

Rita looks around the empty office.

Rita: “Hm…”

Rita: “I guess I should get back to work.”

You must not have given her the look hard enough. You’re just too tired right now. You look up at the clock on the post office wall, which is stuck at 6:31 and not moving. No wonder this mail dog is going nuts.

You: “Did Geoff ever tell you anything about being attacked?”

Rita: “What?!”

Rita: “As in he was attacked?”

You: “Yeah, by a monster. A guy in a sheet, actually.”

Rita doesn’t know how to respond. She covers her mouth.

Rita: “No, he…”

Rita: “Is he ok?”

You: “It happened a while ago. He’s fine, far as I can tell.”

Rita: “He didn’t tell me. WHY didn’t he tell me? I’m his big sister…”

>>736453

Chuck, do us all a favor and stop being a fucking prick for five seconds of your life. Try to reassure her WITHOUT also attempting to get in her pants.

Just this once? Please?

Eyebrow game weak today.

Recount our own adventure in the woods and explain what happened, Geoff had a similar experience but he claims what attacked him looked like a bird. You could offer to show her the wound but only if she asks.

>>736453
Probably thought you wouldn't believe him.

Keep it believable, no talk about biblical verse or she eets.
Just a crazy vagrant.

Maybe subtly see how close the sibs are in general.
Please don't try to fuck her. Too hard.

Yeah, stop hitting on her Chuck, if your heart isn't in it then don't do it. However tell her that the only reason Geoff told us about his attack was because he saw that we had similar wounds, and he didn't tell her because it would be hard to believe that someone attacked him in this little town.

Rita: “He doesn’t trust me…”

You: “Eeeaaah… yyyy… I dunno if I’d jump to that conclusion, I mean…”

You: “It’s a hard story to believe just by nature. Maybe he thought you wouldn’t believe him or something”

Rita’s expression sours.

Rita: “Well, why’d he tell you then?”

You are a little taken aback, but you don’t think she was trying to sound offensive.

You: “He kind of wouldn’t have told me if he didn’t see that I have the same injuries. From a similar attack, see.”

Rita:

Rita: “You mean there’s a crazy guy in a sheet attacking people, and no one’s doing anything about it?”

Rita: “I’m calling the police. The mayor needs to address this!”

You suck your teeth and shrug. Rita slumps.

Rita: “I’m sorry. He’s just not honest with me about anything. Sure I picked on him growing up, but he thinks I don’t love him or something”

Rita: “How does something like that happen?”

Rita: “Do you have any siblings, Chuck?”

You: “Only child.”

Rita: “Ah. Well, I wish he’d talk to me. He still thinks I don’t know he’s… you know. I keep waiting for the day he’ll come and tell me but”

Rita: “Well, anyway. I’m sure you’ve got more deliveries.”

She walks into the back room.

Welp time to move on then to our next stop.

>>736473
And here we have pictured A BIG GOOF
Carry on, try not to bring up the sheetmen again unless it's really relevant.

Next stop is City Hall, right?
I'm sure nothing will go wrong if we talk there about the demons.

Maybe she should call Geoff before contacting the cops? But then again we did see a possible sheet man last night... Soooo..... Yeah.

Okay, next stop.

Speaking of the sheet men and arming ourselves, where is your baseball bat? Did you leave that at Naz's place?

Yes, probably. Also our shirt and rope.

Off to City Hall next. Lisa is there on her way through the sprawling, marble-decked entry chamber. She is all made-up and dressed professionally.

Lisa: “Good morning, Chuck.”

You hand her a bag of muffins.

You: “I notice you’re not calling me ‘sir’ anymore.”

Lisa straightens up and gasps.

Lisa: “Oh… sorry, sir! I forget my manners sometimes.”

You: “No, I like it better. It makes you seem more comfortable.”

Lisa: “I suppose I am, given that… well”

Lisa: “You’ve seen me in my-”

She looks over her shoulder and stops.

Lisa: “Oh, and, uh… what was that yelling last night?”

You: “It was nothing. Really.”

Eager to change the subject, you…

a) ask for a meeting with the mayor
b) flirt
c) say goodbye and head to the police station
d) >__

d) In a low voice, say she seems nervous. Does the mayor not approve of... the kind of activities you all were engaged in last night? You don't know her well yet, but about some things she seems a bit... old-fashioned, compared to other places you've been. You wouldn't want to accidentally offend the mayor's views, but that's hard given that you're not sure what they are yet.

>>736502
d)) Hey, so Rita knows that both me and Geoff were attacked by an eldritch KKK member, so like heads up, she'll probably want to meet with the mayor about it. Which she may not appreciate too much with that whole rumor regarding the Starks summoning demons to kill Nelson Plath.

Don't know what you intend to do about that.
Just know that if Susanna makes Rita, me and/or Geoff disappear, I've made insurances that someone knows who to blame. With all due respect to Susanna, of course. I don't believe she's a part of it, nor am I blaming her, I'd like to be friends with her, I even admire her a bit, but I know she likes to cover up old stuff. Like say, that door in the well. So I'm just covering my bases.

All I'm asking you to do is that when the time comes, you be the angel on Susanna's shoulder and reason with her if she looks agitated. Don't say I threatened her with those insurances, I didn't, and if you did tell her that you might spark the devil in her. Just let her know there probably have been insurances made by unknown persons due in part to the rumors in this town, that means she'll be more careful and less rash.

>>736502
A. It's about time we have an extended conversation with the snek.

B and C. Keep it cute and head out, don't push your luck.
We like her and want her to notice, but not to scare her.

A) we've really needed to see the mayor about quite a few things now.

You put your hands in your pockets and lean against the wall.

You: “So, does the mayor… not like certain kinds of behavior?”

Lisa reaches into the bag you handed her and pulls out a muffin.

Lisa: “What do you mean?”

Lisa: “Sorry, I haven’t eaten anything today…”

You: “She seems to not like… how do I put this? Misbehavior?”

Lisa looks away, clutching the clipboard and the back close to her.

Lisa: “I don’t know what you mean.”

You squint, then get ready to leave.

You: “Can I make a meeting with her?”

Lisa: “Yes, certainly, sir-”

Lisa: “Chuck”

You: “Oh, am I getting knighted?”

She doesn’t laugh. Maybe she didn't get it. It's better than what you were tempted to say, which was some kind of comment on wanting to nibble her muffin top. On a better day you might have taken the plunge...

Lisa: “I can get you in this evening at 7PM, or tomorrow morning at…”

She looks at the first page of her clipboard.

Lisa: “6AM.”

>>736519
Who the fuck wakes up at 6. Go for the meeting tonight.

7 at night works fine (but maybe pay a visit to Ramona before you go to get some spiritual protection)

Appointments at both 6AM and 7PM? The mayor must work some awfully long hours.

See her tonight. Chuck doesn't seem like the type to make 6AM meetings.

You agree to the 7PM meeting, declining to comment on the mayor’s odd work hours. It is far from the strangest thing about that woman. You go to the police station, your finally delivery for the day. It really flies by when you don’t stop to chat as much.

Layla is there at the front desk, looking severe as usual.

Layla: “Hey tough guy. You got the goods?”

You: “Sure do.”

You hand over a bag of miniature blueberry scones, complete with some bags of tea that Marcie had been drying herself.

Layla: “Alright. Good stuff.”


a) Tell her about the attacks
b) Flirt

A. If she gives you guff, strip off your shirt and show off the big honkin' back holes.

>>736555
a! Nothing wrong with a paper trail.

>>736555
A, because people keep bugging us to do it and Chuck called in a report of the one at the apartment, too. Also Rita probably already talked to them, so they'll have more reason to believe us.

I'd vote B but Chuck seems off his game today.

a), show off the evidence, and say you talked to Geoff and he mentioned a similar experience, saying he thought no-one would believe him.

A) also mention how you called in last night

You explain what happened to you and Geoff, including what the attackers looked like. You show her your scars, and mention that Geoff showed you similar ones.

Layla: “Someone’s attacking my citizens.”

Layla: “In my town.”

Layla: “Lieutenant Parker and I’ll run a sweep of the woods and the tracks up north.”

Layla: “Whoever’s doin’ this”

Layla: “They’re gonna regret it.”


Well, that's in for your workday. You just have to swing the LFGPB back to the bakery and then get ready for your meeting with the mayor. It's about half past four.

Will you stay and talk to Marcie, or head back to the Plath House? Or somewhere else?

>>736581
I hope none of them die trying to fight things that don't die when you shoot them.

Go talk to Marcie. Give her a kiss.

>>736584
Go get a hug and maybe a kiss from Marcie, she seems to brighten your spirits a little, just tell her you aren't feeling very good today and I bet she will give you a hug.

Talking to Marcie seems like the best idea. She seems to bring out a better side of Chuck, and she can probably cheer you up at least a little before your meeting with the mayor.

While I'm sure people are used to Chuck smelling like Sweat, sex, and baked goods on route, I feel like that would give the wrong impression to the mayor during Chucks meeting.

Go back to the Plath House, even if only to Check in and Shower. Oh, and to do something about our chest pussy.

Id say visit marcie then swing by the school to give a "topless" delivery to our favorite teacher.

Had back to the plathes' house and shower.

Chatting up Marcie sounds good for now. Maybe consider tailing after the cops a little while later to make sure they don't get got by those zombie ghosts. It would be a shame if they got drained into husks because of us.

>>736581
Give Layla more screentime and tell her all the details, don't unwrap the bandages though. With needles in your back and PUSSY written on your chest she'll think you're on drugs.

Tell her to please at least consider this could be some supernatural stuff going on, so don't get too close.

Don't let her show you any pictures of her family and cut her off if she says anything about retirement or looking forward to spending time with family in the near future or some shit.

Buy and wear cheap eyeglasses to the meeting with the mayor. Up to five bux would be fine.

You return to the bakery and lock up the bicycle.

Marcie is in the back washing up her equipment. She looks worn out, but no less happy. She smiles and waves at you.

Marcie: “Chuck! How’d it go?”

You: “It went alright. Mondays, you know… I just wanna get through the day.”

She laughs and goes back to washing. You just stand there for a little bit, watching her work. You feel like a creep. Why are you doing this? Say something!

She looks like she's either splashed water on herself or is sweating. Possibly because of your stare, possibly because of her barely repressed lust for you.

"Do you need a hand drying? I have an appointment in a bit but I could help for a while."

>>736626

Remember chuck, whatever you do the word pussy is on your chest.

>>736687
Yeah, I'd avoid showing her our amazing chest shave for now.

I'm not too sure we should invite her to the plaths' house though. I feel that could make things a little awkward.

Tell her that you're meeting the mayor later, but you'd love to spend time with her until then.

You: “I’ve got a meeting in a little bit. I’d love to spend some time until then, th-”

Marcie:

Marcie: “I hope you like scoooooooooooooones!!”

Marcie: “I’ve been growing and drying my own tea!!”

Marcie: “I’m planning to start selling it sooooooooooon”

You look at the clock, regretting your offer already. You could stick around with Marcie, though that would mean skipping a stop by the Plath House for a shower.

Man you gotta shower before you meet the mayor!

Compromise: ask Marcie if she has a shower.

>>736823
Let's make it clear the shower is for us though. I get the feeling she might get the wrong idea.

>>736849
No she wont this is Marcie.

If there IS a shower here you could both go in there.

>>736823
"Hey that sounds great! Can't wait to try some. Hey before you get to excited I don't suppose you have a shower here that I might use real quick?"

You: “Oh sure, scones. Yeah, who doesn’t love those”

Marcie beams.

You: “You wouldn’t happen to have a shower around here I could use, would you?”

Marcie: “Here? At the bakery?”

Marcie: “I mean… at my house, sure, but not here at the bakery.”

You: “Ah. Hm.”

It’s 5PM. You don’t think you have time to go all the way to her house just to shower, and Marcie probably wouldn’t be hopping in with you. At least not on an off-day like this. It doesn’t sound like she really wants to do anything interesting now, either. Tea and scones? That’s just granny stuff.

a) Have tea time with Marcie
b) Go elsewhere >_
c) other >_

A
The sweet smell of tea and goodies will act as a cologne to mask your stench.

>>736895
You need a shower, stinky.

I know it could be dangerous but before we enter the Mayors office I think that Chuck should say something along the lines of 'hello mistress/mayor of the night' and then play it off as a joke about how we don't really see her much during the day but she will know whats up and that we are on to her, or she might not be a vampire(yeah right) and is just weird.
I will vote A and ask Marcie if you could take one of her nicer smelling ingredients like vanilla and use it as cologne.

You had a rough day yesterday. Unwind with tea time. (Its not all about sex)

Why do we need two hours to take a shower?

>>736911
Think about it, on foot travel time. Spend one hour with Marcie and the only way to take a shower and not be late would be to literally not talk to anyone and that be pushin it. Sally and Ramona are going to want to follow up after last nights phone call and if you use Marcie's at her place you know she'll keep her gab on.

I posit It would be possible to do both if we spent no more than half an hour with Marcie but given her excitement that may be difficult.

We could also just use the bike to cut travel time, but we'd likely just end up sweaty again, somewhat defeating the purpose of the shower.

I say stay for tea. Can use the time to learn about other characters and relax. Besides if the mayor seems to be the type who appreciates the smell of hard work.

go shower, make sure to give Marcie a kiss before leaving though

Dude, shower, and ask the plaths for advice on handling the mayor

>>736895

Marcie strikes me as an excellent gossip, so you might pick up some good tidbits if you stick around.

Plus, tea's an excellent pick-me-up, so you might come out of it a little more refreshed than you currently are.

'sides, never hurts to be chummy with your boss.

I vote for shower.
Though we don't have any plans for tonight. We could wind down with tea and Marcie after talking to the mayor.
I'm sure she wouldn't be too crestfallen if we put it off for a few hours.

>>737006
not a bad idea actually, ask her if we could come by after our meeting and have tea but please get instructions to her place before you leave so we wont have to go hunting for it.

>>737006
>>737008
Hey yeah that works

Yeah, voting now for teatime after the mayor visit.

Man up and have a sophisticated tea and scones.

You: “Want to meet up after?”

Marcie: “The bakery’s not gonna be open that late…”

You: “I meant at your house.”

Marcie: “Oh! Yes, gosh, I’d like that. I go to bed awful early for work, though…”

"That's okay I don't have to stay long, I'd really love to try your tea though. Can I get directions to your place though?"

"We could turn it into a fun sleepover."

WHY IS THIS LEVEL SO HARD. It’s just like all the other ones! AAAH! It’s always those last two stupid guys, and your shields are almost gone every time. You have one powerup left, but you won’t get another one for another five levels.

a) Use final powerup
b) Start over
c) Play a different game

C) Play that Coxwette VN you picked up the other day.

A) DO THE IMPOSSIBLE BREAK THE UNBREAKABLE

With these sorts of games you just gotta get as far as you can every time you play so you can experience something new each time, and every time you can get a bit farther, until you've mastered every level.

If you just start over every time you're getting close, you won't improve as much as if you actually give it a chance. If you gotta use your powerup to get rid of these last two before they slam into you, then do so, and just try your hardest to get them all sooner the next level. If the speed up is too much, you can start over then.

Take comfort in the fact that you at least have people to blame for how fucked up you are.
Maybe take a moment to pray that the two of them have suffered a messy, painful end.

It's okay Charlie. It's okay... None of it is your fault. None of it. Be strong kiddo. You have to try and be strong, not just for them, but for yourself. You are a great kid, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

>>737193
Don't listen to them buddy. You're a good kid.

WAKE UP, CHUCK!

Your parents are the ones who are messed up chuck, not you. You are doing exactly what a kid should be doing. And if they can't handle it, it is their fault, not yours.

Never forget to be the fighter pilot Chuck. Dont give up just cause it looks bleak, you can pull through even if you have to throw everything you've got into it.

Next level time. (And try not to die instantly, it would kinda ruin the speech)

There's no point in dwelling on the past.

If it bothers you that much, maybe you could try being better? Like, more responsible and aware how your actions affect others? Yeah, crazy. But it's obvious that you wish for less shit in your life. And that starts by being excellent to others.

>>737193
realize your parents are kinda shit, but have this realization do little to mitigate the damage done by their fighting and insults. grow up a broken man.

WAKE UP!
GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKEUP!
HIDE THE SCARS TO FADE AWAY THE SHAKEUP!
WHY'D YOU LEAVE THE KEYS UPON THE TABLE!?
HERE YOU GO CREATE ANOTHER FABLE!

Try and be affectionate. Tell her you love her, even if you don't because she's actually much worse than I think she is.
We might BE ABLE to change the past!
Your parents are awful, but they're human in some ways. Mom seems somewhat okay, just stressed. Small attempts at showing affection might work, She carried you 9 months for some reason.

I don't think dad's salvagable though.

Youre a good kid. Its not your fault. Ignore them, you have five levels to focus on! Go Captain go! >>737221

THAT'S my issue. THAT'S the big hangup. Now IF you're signing their paychecks, then yeah, we got a problem. But if they're just remnants of whatever the fuck happened whenever the fuck ago?

You're probably supposed to be waking up now, or something, so say something look "Sorry your mayorness, did I fall asleep? It's such a warm evening". Let her think she's in control.

Then... I dunno what you came in here presenting yourself with. Ask about the creatures assaulting you and Geoff? To ask about the town's history? To say "I heard your family is at odds with my hosts, you all seem like good women so I was wondering how I could help repair that rift?" Something to content her with. Don't let her be suspicious. You're a criminal, Chuck. You know how to keep your head, talk friendly to the cops, walk don't run. And you don't bow to authority figures, do you?

Keep it cool, Charlie. Stay in control. You'll deal with this lady later.

... I think she might be possessed. Her assistant had the same crazy eyes. If you can keep from panicking, Chuck, play along and let her think it's working. Otherwise, boop her snoot playfully. With your fist. Hard.
