>>6119010Have you really done everything? You
survived an apocalypse, a famine, gangs, plague, war. You've built a career, had adventure, won battles, amassed treasure, killed beasts, killed monsters and killed grown men. But now you prepare to cross the most treacherous boundary of all:
>SMALL TALKAnd so you begin.
>so, er, em, um, uh, ah, ehA bold opening salvo.
One of the others, you can't tell which, retorts in an instant
>wha?A seasoned veteran
>I, uh I, um was, well . . .A deft retort
>hmm, ermClassic form!
>oh! cutting parry
>hrrumphOh dear, what a counter
>bu-bu . . . UhOh, he can't take it there
>-huak- ahemA devistating blow
>pffftHe didn't see
>ughCan he recover
>*tskA cruel and yet painless finsher.
You've done it (9), you've survived that which ends marriages, and destroys kings and the wealthy at cocktail parties. One bad conversation and a relationship can be ruined forever, but not tonight.
>it's Ladies Night!You drive onward, engaged in silent reflection on this great deed of yours. They all do. No one puts in an addendum, or rehashes the exchange. What would there be to say? You can't add anything to a conversation like that.
However, while you drive a block you find the underpass blocked (0) you'll have to go around. You anticipate the most comfortable moment of all, more than the loot and the accolades, using the restroom in peace (1). You can hold it though. It's only just becoming an urge.
You suffer an additional setback, since are driving on the highway feeder road. To get around the raised freeway, you have to drive 1 additional block to get back (0)
