Sep. 18th, 2006 10:24 pmI'm feeling kind of down about school right now, so here is more about last night's Werewolf game.
So, the game opens with rain pouring down. The poor Greyhound is sloshing its way down the 401, trying to avoid various crashes and cars that have broken down. Mackenzie is in the back of the bus hiding from her EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING MOTHER (who 'knows Mackenzie needs her space'). Todd is fingering the bat he bought at Ottawa U's gift shop, thinking about how they were SO happy that he had come to look at their university's football program. Jude is hanging out, not really thinking about much, and Dexter is wondering why the hell his parents had almost 100 laptops.
The bus breaks down. The rain is just too much; it's flooded the engine. The bus manages to pull in to a small town, population 200. The bus passengers flood the local diner, which is a health hazard just by EXISTING, never mind the food.
Todd approaches Jude. "You're going to fix the engine, right?"
Jude: *blank look*
Todd: "Well, I just figure that after jacking all those cars with your brother and dad, you'd be pretty good at fixing engines. I... I need to get back home." *fingers bat*
Jude: ...
Mackenzie's panda eyes have completely run down her face, so she heads to the bathroom to touch up. She can HEAR rats in the walls, behind the mirror. As she fixes her makeup, the rats start getting more and more frantic. Just as she's putting away her mascara, blood starts to run down from behind the mirror. She books it.
Back in the diner proper, a hobo has burst in. His arm is bleeding from a cut (which Jude notices 1) has glass in it and 2) is not really large enough to have caused that much blood loss). He slams down at the front counter and starts yelling at people - mostly the owner to get him food, but also just random crazy things. He dwindles to mumbling once he has eaten, mostly about "her". Dexter decides that he's going to go across the street to the supermarket, instead of being trapped with the hobo.
Across the street, the front door is busted open, glass everywhere. Stuff is strewn around, and there's no one to be seen. Dexter calls out, but is getting WAY too creeped out, so he heads for one of the two local bars. The bouncer agrees to visit the supermarket. Dexter follows him back, but when the lights start going out, one by one, coming towards them, Dexter flees back to the bar, screaming for them to call 911.
Meanwhile, Jude decides to talk to the hobo (thus enhancing his bad-boy image immensely). The hobo mumbles to him about something, "it's like a gang war, you've got the spics and the sand-niggers and the reds and the micks, all of them, and they all decide to get together and deal with the mob boss in the area, but then one of those fuckers flips out and they just decimate each other. Everyone dies. YEAH? YEAH? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!?!?!"
Todd continues to try and prompt Jude to fix the bus through this, which Jude studiously ignores. The hobo pulls out a bag of "candy" and starts to crunch on it (later discovered to be teeth). Then he grabs Jude and says, "You're next. And then HER." (Pointing, of course, to Todd. Who Mackenzie is hiding behind.)
At this point, the diner owner is COMPLETELY FREAKED THE FUCK OUT, so he does the stupidest thing possible and pulls out a shotgun. The hobo, thank god for all of us, leaves peacefully. Jude palms the bag of teeth.
Dexter, meanwhile, is having a difficult time convincing the bar owner to call 911, but eventually manages to convince her that at least the local OPP highway cop, Sheriff Dison, should be called in.
Jude and Todd (who are following the hobo) discover the bouncer - dead - and the hobo with his throat ripped out. They stand over him, staring, when he snatches and grabs Jude's arm. He yanks him close, long enough to whisper something, before Todd bashes his brains in with the baseball bat.
This is about when Dexter, the bar owner, and Dison show up. Everything is confusing for a while, but everyone except us seems inclined to say that the hobo killed himself (which is OBVIOUSLY not possible). Mackenzie slips out briefly to steal some items from the crime scene - she gets a political button ("GEORGE W. BUSH: a great reason for Canadian citizenship"), a button with a picture (cartoonish) of a grotesque pig-cop with the caption "Just Showing My Respect, Officer!", and... she saw some bizarre hard object under his skin near his heart. She snuck into the supermarket, found a knife, and pried it out. His skin healed back after the dodecahedron-shaped item plopped out. She cleaned it (and herself) off and headed back into the diner.
On the drive back - Greyhound finally provided a new bus - the rats return; Dexter gets bitten, and has to be taken to the hospital for rabies shots. Mackenzie shows Todd the weird thing, and tells him where she got it. That freaks him out. Then she asks why he has the bat. He says, "I just killed a man. Can you have a little more sensitivity?" She stares at him. "I have to show it to my dad."
"Why, you gonna murder him with it too?"
He shoves her out of her seat and refuses to let her return.
They finally make it back to Mullholland, but things don't get any LESS weird...
Okay, I have to cut it there. There's more, but I'll post it later.
