FULL STORY SYNOPSIS (WIP)
Day 1 (Tuesday): You were raised in an old apartment in the poor area of Boston. Your dad deserted the family when you were very young and you don't even remember him. You lived with your mom in this apartment as far as your memory takes you. That is, until she was diagnosed with late state lung cancer. She died and left you in the care of her brother. Problem is, this uncle was known for being rather abusive. You went with him to his apartment in Cambridge, MA after the funeral and the situation quickly turned for the worst. He punched you in the face when you accidentally damaged his rusty car. You took a few things in order to protect yourself but all he did was sit around drinking beer and watching TV before going to bed. In retaliation, you covered his entire apartment and his car in your own feces. Your uncle was so angry that he tried to shoot you with his Beretta M9, but you deflected his aim by hitting his arm with a broom. Wasting no time, you ran out of his apartment in the middle of the night and into the dark alleys of Cambridge. When you reached the police station, you discovered that your uncle was already there. Convincing the police that your uncle was an abusive caretaker resulted in failure. Before they could return you to his apartment, you threatened to commit Self Delete and escaped the police. You discovered a dead hobo in a McDonald's dumpster and slept next to him until a garbage truck took him away.
Day 2 (Wednesday): After you departed from McDonald's, you walked the three miles to your apartment in Boston. You collect several items and mementos including old photographs, your personal items, and a large stash of your mom's saved money. You also found a locked combination safe in your mom's closet. There was also a photograph that you found of your mom sitting in a restored Chevelle in a mountainous area. At her feet in the car was the safe. On the front of the safe at the time the photograph was taken is a small piece of paper reading, "Rico, plot 2270". Baffled by what it could mean, you were powerless to open the safe. Before you could leave your apartment, you heard your uncle's voice out in the hallway of the apartment complex accompanied by three other people. One of them was a bank representative who was to foreclose on the apartment. You escaped by climbing along the fifth story ledge of the building and lowering yourself to an opened third story window using bedsheets. After walking in on a woman taking a shower, you tried making loveual advances on her but ran off when she came after you with a gun (not before you stole her iPhone). You ran into the streets of Boston and walked all the way to Somerville, MA where you used your cash to buy new clothes and various other things for entertainment and food. You were so impressed with your new style that you dance like
Duane. You were much better at Duane Dancing than you expected and thus decided to get to New York with intent to make Broadway in order to showcase your talent. In need of money, you robbed a local convenience store in the middle of the night in Somerville. Taking refuge in a dumpster enclosure in order to escape the law, you grabbed a few hours of shuteye.
Day 3 (Thursday): You woke up to rain hitting you in the face. In dire need of leaving Boston due to running from the law, you jack off and decide to hitchhike. A sweaty middle aged man in an unmarked van picked you up and drove you to Mansfield, MA before stopping in a parking lot. He attacks you and decides to "teach you why you shouldn't ride with strangers". After a brief fight, you stab him in the neck with a Bowie knife and jack off on his prone form. You steal his belongings and cash. For a hefty price, you manage to grab a taxi and take it to Hartford, CT to finally exit Massachusetts. When you arrive, you buy expensive coffee and Starbucks and lay waste to their bathroom with your super dump. Afterwards, you roam through a subdivision and manage to convince a Mr. Les Collins to let you use his shower. After drooling and jacking off in his shower, you tell him a compromised sob story about your dead family. He feels bad for you and drives you down to Stamford, CT and leaves you with $50. From there, you hitchhike with a woman to New York City. When you arrive, you start jacking off and farting in her car while asking if she'll have love with you. Of course, no. You walk to Times Square and go to Toys 'R Us before deciding to try to book a hotel room. When the clerk tells you no, you walk into the bathroom, and clog the toilet. After flooding the bathroom, you run out into the lobby with a giant piece of poop and wipe it all over the glass doors of the hotel. The clerk tries to interfere but slips in your sewage and is knocked unconscious against a table. Running away, you take refuge in an office building and sleep on the roof.
Day 4 (Friday): When you wake up, you decide to continue on your journey and go to Philadelphia, PA so that you can poop on the Pope. You eat almost $20 of food in order to create the biggest behemoth conceived by a human being. After breakfast, you leave the office building and decide to pickpocket some pedestrians to raise money for a taxi ride to Philly. However, one of your targets grabs your arm and notifies a police officer. In desperation, you stab him in the wrist and crush his goods with a football punt before sprinting away. The officer gives chase before easily catching you and proceeding to handcuff your arms. Before he can, you spray his eyes with pepper spray and hail a taxi, which proves futile in standstill NYC traffic. After running for another block, the officer manages to pin you to the sidewalk. You fail to escape and end up being carted off to a New York City police precinct. After attempting to thwart police efforts to interrogate you, you are forced to actually follow instructions. You tell your story and an arrest warrant is issued for your uncle. However, he is nowhere to be found. Boston police have looked for him for two days but his apartment was vacated. At this point, you try to find answers to your "Rico, plot 2270" photograph, but you don't find many clues to what it could mean. The police come back with some good news. Your elderly great Aunt Beth who lives in Richmond, VA has offered to become your guardian and pay your bail; the police will even pay to fly you out there. Passing time, you come across a thread on the Blockland Forums that seems to be discussing "Rico, plot 2270" but you find that this person is no farther than you in his investigation. You also try calling your father or stepmother who seem to be living in Colorado according to records, but the phone number is discovered to be a landline that is no longer in use. Before leaving for the plane, you poop in a plastic container and cover it in duct tape in order to avoid detection. When you get to the airport, you abandon your Bowie knife in order to pass through airport security. The plane ride goes without a hitch, except for your dark thoughts about hijacking the plane and flying to Kenya. When you arrive in Richmond, your aunt drives you to her house where you sleep for the night.
