>Also I think you made a mistake with the first choice, it just says >>Wade at the Bus Stop
This is basically shorthand for indicating the following > are choices about >>>>6110052>>6110813<span class="mu-g">"No such luck,"</span> He shrugs. <span class="mu-g">"It was really their vehicle, so they had the last say on it, so to speak. It's currently in their garage, and breaking in would mean risking what remains of my skin and Martha's good health."</span> ...He walked here? Wade seems confused. <span class="mu-g">"Yeah, sure. Didn't you?"</span> Fair enough.
>>6110193>>6110466Well, you left a car out there. It's got a quarter of the tank left, but maybe that's useful to him?
That piques his interest, and you get a shade of his dark side in the sinister grin he pops. <span class="mu-g">"Tell me more."</span> Hastily, you go over the situation where you were shot at and the taxi was left out and stalled and it's not your fault the windshield is broken. By the time your nervous babbling ends, he has a huge smile that seems wider than his whole head. He's concocted some kind of sinister plan, but switches back into kind customer mode, picking up his suitcase and beginning to roll it away. <span class="mu-g">"Say no more."</span> He begins to walk away. <span class="mu-g">"I'd invite you along, but you don't deserve to see what happens next."</span> He's a trained killer, so disagreeing with him isn't really an option- that car is in effect no longer yours.
You hear the suitcase roll away, out of audible range, so you sit down next to your backpack and wait for the bus. Well, at least you can think by yourself.
What is there to think about, though? You're only trained in shitty culinary arts and basic business management- there's always work in that area, even if it's definitely going to be poorly paying. You just hope they let you on the bus. And that their supply chain is less brutal. Cattle seems like it would be easier to feed out West, with the open area and functional farmland. They might also have religious protections against eating people, even though you're not a believer in anything yourself. On the other hand, you've heard tell of the opposite- where people turn cannibalism into a ritual instead of a cruel application of 'wasted material. Guess you'll have to take your chances. Although.. Maybe it's a marketable skill?
<span class="mu-g">"That was a compliment, by the way."</span> <span class="mu-s">WATDAFUC</span> You bolt as Wade has managed to approach suddenly and undetected. Totally silent, or you just weren't listening. The shock makes you trip over your backpack.
By the time your nerves settle and your eyes stop spinning, he's saluting you and leaving. <span class="mu-g">"I do a lot of messy work... Someone like you doesn't need to watch anything like that."</span> You're too scared to argue. His red eyes glow and call to mind a nightmare about a giant rat that ate you alive. It doesn't help that the area is unfamiliar and the light here is pretty limited- just emergency, which is enough to see by.
