Adventure #461 (Short TSG)
« on: October 29, 2014, 09:04:05 pm »

You and your brother have taken Google Maps directions to your friend's house. It is midnight, and you are in a creepy forest next to a closed ferry, which the directions tell you to take. You go to read the next few directions, but you accidentally drop them in the lake! You fish them out, but you can only make out the phrase "Climb the hill toward Hangman's Ridge, avoiding any mountain lions." The rest of the paper crumbles in your hand.

What now?

"Shit, let's call him and say we can't make it. I don't want to get mauled by mountain lions just to see John."

You pull out your phone and dial John's number.

No service.

Consider why we're visiting John when he lives so in the boonies that you can't get a signal and you have to take a ferry to his house.

You and Jerry go back to the car. As you turn the key, it snaps in the ignition, immovably jammed in there.

Actually, John lives in Minneapolis. Google Maps must be acting up today.

"... How... How does that even happen?"
Try ringing on Jerry's phone.

Look for a screwdriver, let's start hotwiring.

You know, with what's coming up (Judging by the XKCD comic this seems to have been inspired by), we'll be happy if Slenderman arrives.
... Also, thinking about Slenderman makes him arrive quicker.
Don't think about Slenderman. Remember not to leave each other's sight, though. That's just reasonable.

You manage to hotwire the car after a few minutes. However, it would appear the last turn you made took you off the main road. There is a dirt path leading out of your sight two ways, and you're not sure which you came in from.

EAST or WEST?

Scavenge some old out-of production candies from the glove-box. And look for any old maps that might be lying around.

Just look for tires tracks that match those of your car.
