>>5545847-The garage kept is freakishly tidy – cement disinfected and pressure washed bimonthly, shelving units organized impeccably with their contents clearly labelled, a comprehensive display of tools safely contained by a plexiglass covering affixed to the wall above a disused but impeccably maintained work shelf-
-You’re pretty sure a car has actually never been in this garage, with this being the family’s away-home visitation is usually only transitory-
=Def: “I still don’t comprehend the logic behind building an affluent manor smack-bang in the middle of one of the sketchiest parts of Serenade.” =
=Dep: “There are plenty of things about our dear parents that defy explanation. Maybe we just don’t have enough zeros in our checking account to parse the eldritch reasoning of old money.=
- Getting at the tools is an impossibility, unless you find a way to break the tough plexiglass shells -
- The cases weren’t installed with a means to access the contents once in place -
- They’re exclusively vanity pieces; objects of prestige, intended to be admired not used -
- The shelving units are extremely well stocked with all sorts of essentials, to be used in the event of an emergency - dehydrated food, bottled, batteries, flashlights, tents, disposable rain coats. -
- Enough to last for a week, perhaps longer if rationed competently -
=Def: “Well, I guess father’s prepper phase did pay off in the end.”=
=Dep: “Let’s hope he didn’t mouth off about it too much. Last thing we need are desperate people swarming the estate.” =
=Sub: “Bah, let them come. If we can’t defend our property, then we don’t have any right to it.”=
- Finally, your eyes settle on a large tray, filled with dense clumps of plastic -
- Plastic bags, not the cheap disposable ones you occasionally see caught in updrafts from your window, these bags are rather durable and double-lined to prevent linkage -
- The quantity of bags neatly packed into the tray has to be brushing up against the triple digits, predictably excessive -
- You settle on taking one for now, if only to get a gauge on how much one of these badboys can hold -
(You gain x1 ‘Heavyduty Plastic Bag’)
