>>5365401>>5365561>>5371441>Sorry about the late update anons. The air grows stale and even the rushing wind does nothing to help. You take a deep breath, calmly addressing the others in the car. "It's nothing, don't forget that we have a deadline. Some of us can't afford to be late again…" The answer is sufficient and the duo go back to relaxing, in response you slow the speed of your get away. Eyes prowling the gloomy country roads for any sign of trouble. Max nods at you, the younger man was doing his best at keeping his composure. But water was welling up in his eyes and for a second you worried that he was about to cry. Eventually as the drive continues you watch the normal dull expression slip onto his face as if he hadn't bore witness to such a bizarre event simply minutes before.
Kylie and Billy try to convince him to smoke along with the group. Despite his declines the duo took turns exhaling in his face. "It gives you cancer!" The high workers just giggle in response to other medical facts. Taking your own pulls the group returns to chatting and without any prompting Max begins to enlighten the rest of the shift about any recent online discoveries he made. One quickly became the main subject. "- and talking about deer… I read a story online about how hunters throughout history took doe or other female animals as wives." The revelation was news to you. "They would have sex with them and live together. Supposedly the deer were into it and would follow them around. It used to happen back in the frontier days as well, a man would fall off his wagon train and end up getting lost or whatever and shack up with an animal bride… rumour has it a few half-man half-deer creatures run around national parks to this day. Some historians even suggest the origin of the mythical centaurs were Greek warrior tribes that would marry their war horses." Your co-worker continues as the car cuts through the town of Gloom's Grove.
Billy wore a shield of disgust. However Kylie was loving the useless knowledge. "That's fucking gross. Why do you know that dude? Are you a furry?" You all laugh, Max's chortle one of glee. The girl spoke up next between laughs "Nah bro. That shit is real. My Grandpa told me and my brothers about how to <span class="mu-i">grease up</span> before a hunt." Billy rolls his eyes and Max's attention was entirely on the girl, you only have one eye and ear on the road. The girl goes on further in depth with the aid of vivid hand gestures explaining how to procure undiluted doe <span class="mu-i">essence</span> and successfully lure in stag. "They do it pretty often, it is a great way of saving money. Why buy scents when you can make your own…" Billy gagged. Max nodded, clearly appreciating the frugal talent. Apparently it was pretty common.
