Is this correct?
"Are you...""...ready to pay upfront? Because I'm not driving you anywhere until I am assured you can properly compensate me."
I'm not going to do literally President Jimmy Carter works ridesharing.But we could have been the former president, instead of some random guy.

Is this correct?
Right. Okay. Riiiight. Start driving.
"Weren't you somebody famous a few years back? Your name seems familiar..."
Do both of the previous actions; by ignoring his protests and telling the story to ourselves. No matter how much he protests, just keep talking!
"Oh cool, I get it. It's like a werewolf thing or something. That's cool; just chill there for a bit while I get some air, k?"+1
Say above in soothing voice. Stop car. Undo seatbelt. Exit car.

Sigh and say with an annoyed look
"You are one of those lizardmen right?"
Hop back into the driver seat and get him to where he wanted to go as fast as we can?
Call the police while briskly walking back towards the freeway.
Open the car door for him. We got to be courteous to our customers, especially when they're falling apart.
Inform him that we've arrived at his destination and ask him if he needs us to help him get in there?
State clearly your opinion that today has quite clearly been one of the shittiest days of your life.perhaps we wait till the popo are gone?
"Uh Thanks. How do you know what I did tonight?"+1
Conjure a fried egg and consume.+1
Nope. Nopenopenope into the bag they go and then the garbage we're not dealing with some magical fucking fingernails.+999 to this
"Well hey, I couldn't exactly just leave you in my car. I need that thing for work!
...You're welcome. You dropped your phone, so I came to give it back."
Go in the house, its not like we have anything better to do.Idiotic desion but I support it
"Sure, if you'll promise not to eat me? No offense but I really don't know what was up with... that."
"I'm sure if I told anyone I'd just sound crazy anyway. And I was just doing my job. If you insist, though..."
...Well, we're a bit hard up for cash right now. Couldn't hurt, could it?
Do you know when it will happen?
"That sounds weirdly predictable. Like I was expecting it to be something weirder than just the full moon because usually the stories, like, put some twist on the classic myth? But yours is apparently just the full moon. Huh."+1
...Dunno how to really do a big plan ahead during a conversation. I guess get him to tell his story if he's willing, hang out for a while, and go back to work? Maybe get his contact info if he needs someone to talk to.
"I feel kinda guilty taking this, but I guess I do need to fix the seats... Thank you. Um, if you ever need another ride in a hurry let me know, then you don't have to worry even if something happens again. And uh, you don't need to pay me extra or anything! Cuz you're just another customer, you know? Uh, so yeah."
Alright that was pretty smooth I think I just got a regular customer! ...Right?
"Are you asking me if it's okay if you give me more money, Mr. Williams?"
Take a moment to consider how exciting this is. Scary, confusing, yes, but so exciting. Reflect on how excited you feel right now. Then, almost without thinking, give the guy a firm pat on the shoulder, say "Well, you'll always be safe with me.", and let your hand linger on his shoulder just a moment too long.+1 to awkward

"Sorry. It must have been tough going from a sudden attack like that then having this whole transforming thing happen. By the way um why was coming here so important? Do you have a way to contain yourself here... sorry if that was offensive. Like I just don't know if you have control of yourself when you transform? Because like werewolves and stuff like that are depicted as not being themselves when they transform sometimes."
"Yeah. Well hopefully it'll be easier to figure things out over time for you. Oh! Uh not to alarm you or anything but uh when I went to clean my car after well uh what happened last night I found... this is going to sound gross but like some of your teeth and stuff from where you transformed. Now um I wouldn't bring this up normally but they kind of... emitted some weird orange sparks? Just thought you should know they do that I guess? I uh kinda threw those away cause keeping a guys teeth sparks or not would feel kinda creepy on my part."
Well, probably because they're in the paper towel. Try poking with bare finger.+1
"Huh. Maybe it's just the human leftover parts, and not the werewolf parts?"
"Well I should probably get back to my job. Sorry again if I brought up anything weird. Also if you need a lift anywhere then feel free to call me or if you even just need someone to talk to about... all this. This is a stressful situation your in so I can understand if you need to get your thoughts or feelings out sometimes. I mean at least that's how I'd feel if this was happening to me."
I mean I don't think we as the person we're playing would take that with us. Especially after our reaction to just his sparking human teeth.
(Female, I'd assumed.)Elia is usually a male name, actually, so I assumed the opposite...
"It is indeed sir."
"Well, I still have an old collection of cool-looking stones, does that count?"
"Yeah. It was originally my dad's car but he passed it down to me when he decided to get a new one."
Sigh heavily and say: "Okay, what idiotic supernatural bullshit are you pulling me into? Because I'm not dumb enough to start my morning with a werewolf and then think 'oh durr nothing else weird could possibly happen today'. Look, just tell me and we can deal with it together, or you can eat my soul or whatever it is you do, or whatever. I've recently discovered that I'm apparently completely adaptable when it comes to magical nonsense. I just don't want to sit here guessing, you know?"That but in a nicer way
Do not under any circumstances offer your soul.+1
It does sounds passimist, Maybe he will have something good in returnDo not under any circumstances offer your soul.+1
There is no good trade for one’s soul.What about two souls? or a thousend
I guess his grandson will be at his home, so now how we say that whitout sounding like a creep?
Well, we'll probably get an opportunity eventually, knowing this job.+1
"Man, this job is weird."
Next ride?
"That's me. Tyler Gonzales?"
"I assure you, it was not that."
"I have no idea. Guess you just look like someone who might smell good? I mean-"
say do you know anything about vampiers by any chance?no
why not?say do you know anything about vampiers by any chance?no
"Just been picking up a lot of weirdly talented people recently. Anyway I hope you've been having a good day ma'am?"
"What do you mean by family curse?"+1
"What do you mean by family curse?"
Politely, non-awkwardly inquire about them.Searching for the least risky way to respond, you come up with "Oh?"
"Oh, uh, not really."
Get that blood pumping, you know?
“Probably should.”
"Eh, I have a couple, I guess, but mostly just simple dreams like 'not being mauled by werewolves' and 'not having my blood drained by vampires'."Less specific efernse if we may, more like "not dying to supernatural murderer" or "not loosing segnificant portions of my blood at once"
No. None of that. We'll look weird.why can't we just look weird
Mentioning werewolves breaks our promise. Mentioning vampires is generally just rude if she really is, but actually just incredibly insensitive if she turns out to just be a person with an inherited skin condition that killed her father.Hey, we didn't say that either of those things really exist, nor that anybody we know may or may not be one of them! It's not like I said "MY DREAM IS THAT YOU ADMIT YOU ARE A VAMPIRE" or something! Maybe we were just making a really weird joke that doesn't have to have anything to do with anybody.
No. None of that. We'll look weird.

She has red eyes. I don't think we're looking at a skin condition here.
Perhaps we could jokingly mention something about 'profaning temples.' Of course, that assumes she plays DF.

Albinism actually can result in pink/red eyes. It's a pigmentation issue. It also leads to skin cancer and irritation when exposed to the sun. Due to again, the pigmentation issue.
(Okay, but what do you want to say?)
We dream of some day finding a way to become immortal.
obviously
Tell her that we are almost there and keep driving.
It'd probably be cheaper to fix the seat our selves then have someone else do it, we could go and buy a needle and tread and fix the seat ourselves, or we could just buy a seat cover and leave it at that.Good enough
Give a witty answer.With maybe a bit of a flirty edge? You know, if we end up with wittiness to spare.
Get the seat cover and the patch kit and put on the cover and fix it with the patch kit later.Look like the best solution, we should check if the company willing to pay for the damage (and stay quiet, no way it's statistics what happened to us)
Get the seat cover and the patch kit and put on the cover and fix it with the patch kit later.
We do have money, right?
Drive home and start the repairs?
"Just two days. And it's... different. Mind, I've only given three rides so far, but you would not imagine the kind of people you meet."
"Given the weird things that have been going on with this job I'll probably be coming around here a lot more. See ya around."
Yeah, should probably deposit that. Maybe get groceries too if there's time.
Hmm.Always fun
Quiche!
Well, that's not suspicious at all!
...Did we get a receipt? What's the total?
No computer.We must be some kind of savage.

"No idea where you could get one of those."

Sit in the car and stare at the ceiling.
"You are literally paying me to be here, so, yes."+1
Aw yeah, let's complete this fetch-quest.+1
Any time for another ride?
Try and get that bit of blood of the ceiling.+1

Why not just truthfully say: "Don't worry, I cleaned up very thoroughly. I can't promise I didn't miss anything, but I don't think I did."+1 That's better then mine.

"Sure, I'll take a piece."+1
Keep driving and be sure to say thank you after getting the gum.
Are we missing something or the last two rides were normal?Not every ride needs to be an adventure, this makes the strange ones more special.

> Okay, how would you describe it then?
< I don't know
< Just don't like referring to it so directly
> Alright
> Anyways, what's up?
< Just got worried about the weather
< Heard someone's tires squealing like they'd lost control for a sec
< But since you mention it, I think we should talk about strange happenings sometime
< What was that you said about giving an old man a ride to heaven?
> Oh yeah
> Well after I left your house, I got a request on the app for someone waiting outside the nursing home
> So I get there to find this old guy, all neatly dressed
> And now I think about it, I don't remember him having a phone
> I pick him up, he starts talking to me about classic rock or something, and it starts getting all misty out until the car's just surrounded in a white void of fog, and the drive's taking way longer than it should.
> So I kinda put it together and ask him about it, he tells me to get as old as him at least before I go the same way.
> Then he's just... gone into the mist, which clears up pretty fast as I drive away.
< Well then. I don't recall seeing any mist this morning. It did start getting cloudy though.
< But yeah, we should definitely talk about this stuff. Maybe in person some time, if you're that afraid of the NSA seeing :v
"That was a joke. But yeah, I can think of a few things I'd rather do in person."Sounds so much like innuendo for some reason but yes, we should
Additionally. Bay12 is a SFW forum. Keep that in mind as well.If a little awkwardness and innuendo is considered unsafe at your workplace, you should become a NEET.
> That was a joke.
> But yeah, I can think of a few things I'd rather do in person.

< Stay safe out there
(Also, I wonder what folks are picturing when I just say she lives in an apartment)
Is it the fuse, go check.
Is it's only in our apartment? If not, is it only in this building?
Storm. Possibly supernatural bullshit, given that this was apparently not forecasted. And the other person who's remarked on it is also somewhat supernatural.
Let's probably just stay here, but be prepared for... something.
Look out a window to see if a power line got downed, then just go hunker down in the bedroom and read a book or something. Grumble angrily at the universe conspiring to spoil your quiche.
Classic book of urban fantasy, fitting for the last couple of days+1
Put on a raincoat and grab an umbrella. Head out to check on your car.+1
"Dude, it's locked. You need to flip open the latch."
"I'm not sure what I expected to do at this point in the plan. Bye!"+1 walk backwards, don't stop looking at it unless it go fast
Yeah that's alright we'll just be leaving. Depart at a walking pace, given that running away will usually make big things charge.

Keep backing up. Attempt communication.
Into the apartment complex. Given that it was having trouble banging on a dumpster and didn't notice the latch, it probably isn't smart enough to pick a lock, nor strong enough to break down a door.+1
Barricade the door, better safe than sorry
Then, grab all the battery powered lights you can find and lock yourself into a closet. Who knows, it's a shadow person. Maybe it can teleport into darkened corners or something.
nahhhhhhhhhhh mate
NOPEITY NOPE. Not dealing with that, head into a lockable area with no windows.
Assuming that thump was wedging something under the door, rest against it to add your body weight to the equation. Be watchful of the window.+1. Please tell us the toilet paper stand is a nice metal one.

Assess whether the phone will fit under the door. If so, try writing something to the effect of "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" and putting it under the door. Maybe it'll parley.+1, but only if it does not respond to verbal and written--on paper--communication. If it busts our phone, we lose our job.
Peek under the door to see if the lights have turned back on. Call our our demihuman friend.

"No, I think it might have gone away. Maybe it's scared of you!"
Actually, we haven't heard any more bangs since the power came back, and we got cell signal. I'm going to guess that these are connected. Open the door.make sense, just hold somthing

"Yeah, I'm fine. It looks like whatever that was left when the lights came back on."
Say goodbye and hang up. Try to sleep, but keep your phone close.
Um, tell him that it was probably after the orange sparking leftover human bits, so he should consider not keeping those around the house, lest he attract a shadowbeast.
Bemoan what our life has become. Do we have a computer with internet access at our house? If so, download TOR(The Onion Router) or something similar for anonymous web browsing then use it to look up "orange sparks magic" and similar phrases.
You've got a TV, a few DVDs below it, a small collection of books in the bedroom... that's about it, really. No computer. You've just been using your phone for all your net needs.Bemoaning what your life has become, you sigh at you your already bare apartment now being slightly damaged. It's like entropy, or something. You feel like you're not at all equipped to deal with this shit.
We should get a computer. Surely we can get a Moogle laptop for cheap. Or something like that. Probably be handy. Also organize our books.
I think we now have ample evidence that some kind of proper self-defense weapon is probably justified.There's some things you feel lacking in, though you figure it may be best to get some more in your savings before buying much. However, you could probably pick up something more imposing to defend yourself with for fairly cheap. Though, thinking of savings, after your morning routine it'd probably be right on time to pick up some morning folks.
Check your phone for ride offers, and head to our car, while being sure to take a look at that dumpster the monster was attacking.
Petra!Let's go give Petra a ride.

"Well, you're certainly remarking on it."
"Its a small world."
Start driving.
"There was a power outage at my apartment yesterday evening. Exhaustive work, trying to get it fixed, but once everything was done--I slept like a rock."
Nervous mental sweating over that quiche.
"Heh, don't think so."
Be wary of spontaneous fog, etc. and keep driving on.
"Well, I could make that work and it's allowed, but someone would need to organise the carpool; I'm not supposed to just do it informally. There's an option in the app for that somewhere."
Fair enough.

Consider what these coins are actually good for. They would probably be worth something to historians if they, uh, were part of this world's history. They're naturally not a legal currency. That pretty much leaves melting them down for the metal, right?Any precious metals dealer would accept them in coin form without worrying too much about the source, but we should keep the coins as a keepsake anyway, especially since we might end up having to refuel in another world some time.
It seems statistically unlikely that if we end up in another world, these coins would be worth anything there, either.Statistically unlikely, but narratively likely. :P

Let's check how many available rides there are before we do anything. Don't want to miss out on money. Let's also check how much of a profit we've been making as well.I suppose this is expedient.

Let's text back Roger first, though. We shouldn't take a ride if it's something important.+1

While waiting, close our eyes and relax. You know, try to focus ourself. Think about how we're feeling. This is all pretty new, isn't it? You'd think that after the... strange things we've seen the past couple days, our whole worldview would be shaken. But honestly, I think a part of us has already accepted that this is what the world is really like. Maybe we already knew, on some level. It's less a shocking revelation about... everything, the world, it's more like we've just learned something new that fits in just fine.+1

Just walk farther into the hospital. Looking for non-blurry things, and avoiding paths that are blurry.
Are you seeing things as blurry too?(Elia's the only one I've been describing the POV of, and Anita wasn't sharing to Elia there.)

We should get a computer. Surely we can get a Moogle laptop for cheap. Or something like that. Probably be handy. Also organize our books.
I think we now have ample evidence that some kind of proper self-defense weapon is probably justified.

Additionally, there's Roger wanting to meet up. And those silver coins Amat gave you.
"... maybe there's silver in there? Or maybe you're just weird in a new, exciting, unrelated way."(Don't wanna get stuck here, so I'll kinda bend this a bit)
"I don't think it can be very many. Silver's still a precious metal, they aren't going to plate the streets with it. And they'd use gold for that, obviously.
Still, do be careful, I'd hate to see you get hurt."
"Look like those"+1
...Doesn't have to cause an orange spark reaction just because it's silver, you know. Could be because they're from a different world. Recall that Roger's discarded bits also sparked in the same manner.Well, my original suggestion left it open, but it seems like Hugo intended us to conclude that it was just because it's silver.
