Yawn, stand up, and toss "pinky" a cigarette on my way out. Light a cigarette for myself.

Get up and keep from dry heaving from the sight of the dead body. Then head outside and look around.

Well, it only hates Linux for now. If we could condition it to hate computer viruses, than hooray! Free, brutal virus protection! Unless you have Linux!

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

Get up groggily and dust off my robes. Then cautiously explore the hotel in case there actually was anyone else there. I remember swearing something, to do a thing? Shit, shouldn't have had so much whatever the hell they serve.

I want you to think real hard about the words you are saying to me right now.

As you do that I'm gonna sharpen an ax and look meaningfully from it, to you, and back to it.

Groan loudly and attempt to clamber to my feet.
You stand up, slip, flop, grunt and groan and eventually crawl off the tile and over to the carpet, where the goo presents less of a problem to standing. You get up and start trying to wipe yourself off against the nearest sofa.

Yawn, stand up, and toss "pinky" a cigarette on my way out. Light a cigarette for myself.
You grab and unlit cigarette from your pack and toss it over your shoulder at the doll as you walk out, lighting another for yourself. You wakka wakka into the lobby and look around at the sorry state of affairs while blowing smoke rings. You notice the dead Manager, blink and then take another hard drag on the cigarette, wondering what the law enforcement is around here, if anything.

Get up and keep from dry heaving from the sight of the dead body. Then head outside and look around.
You run outside, covering your mouth and nose to stop the acrid odor of insect juices from making you sick. How exactly a skeleton can be sick, you're not sure, but you certainly feel it.  Luckily for you, there's a pretty good sized parking lot and paved road to walk around on. The area around the motel appears to consist of great while sand dunes that are, on closer inspection, made of countless tiny eyeballs; which are of course looking back at you.  There's an indistinguishable smell, sort of a salty heat, on the air, with a faint tinge of burning rubber. It's still early morning, the burning fetus is low in the sky, but it's already hot as balls. Your bones feel chalky and warm.

Get up groggily and dust off my robes. Then cautiously explore the hotel in case there actually was anyone else there. I remember swearing something, to do a thing? Shit, shouldn't have had so much whatever the hell they serve.


You ignore the rest of the...people, or whatever the heck you wanna call them, and walk out into the parking lot. The motel is one of those cheap ass style people lockers, with two levels of rooms, accessed via doors that lead straight out into the parking lot. There are a couple other cars here, so there's probably other guests, though you don't see any around.

Head for the closest person.

Hey! Entity. Don't remember your name. Whatever. Were you part of the pact I may or  may not have made last night with some other people?

Get myself some hearty food and drink whilst examining the manager's possessions. Did he have a logbook or something I could snoop at?



What did I do wrong?
((At a guess?))

No you don't have a gun in your pocket, fuck you.
Jerry has a spellbook strapped to his back.
No, I don't care if you incarnated as a cop or a soldier or megatron, you don't have a fucking gun. Or a sword. Or a battle ax.
Jerry has a spellbook strapped to his back.
Or a grenade or a stick of dynamite or a vial of nanomachines or a power gauntlet or a green lantern ring or whatever other thing you're already thinking.
Jerry has a spellbook strapped to his back.
At best you have a pocket knife. Or maybe a claw hammer. Or an ice pick. Or something like that. Probably shouldn't have any weapons.
Jerry has a spellbook strapped to his back.
Don't fuck with me here, or I'll nail your hand to your knee.

((Well, that and one vague skill and one attempt to game the system skill, no goal, and a possibly exploity need.

You're fucked, is basically what I'm saying here.))

A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

"...I'm not staying around long enough to get put into whatever passes for a jail around here. That means I need to search the poor bastard in there...damnit."

Cover my mouth, then realize I'm a skeleton. Don't have to worry about puking. Still don't feel good though. Go back inside, put on the gloves, and search the manager for keys, or anything useful.
