Sticks and Stones - A text adventure - Episode 2: Spooky Scary Skeleton

check on the girl real quick then attempt to pursue James

You run over to the girl and kneel down beside here. She was wearing the robe you had seen earlier. Why was she watching you? She was bleeding from the leg but it was a insignificant scrape. You stand to pursue James but he was already making his escape in a contraption you had never seen before. The strange carriage roared loudly and flew out onto the strange path you were on earlier, disappearing into the distance.

The girl was watching you, wide eyed and clearly afraid. Rodney lay beside her, clearly knocked out.

go back inside and sort things out, make sure the other guy doesn't make a run for it

if he's still knocked out try to load at least one shot into the revolver, make sure hes constrained somehow before you do.

[Tayasaurus]

Salvage pipe

You confiscate the pipe that had threatened the girls life. Rodney shifted a little and groaned. You inserted the paper cartridges you had pre-made into your cylinders. You now had a full set of shot.

The girl sat on the ground shaken but completely aware. For some reason, when you look at her she glances away. You're not sure why. The silence was discomforting.

[Hansome duded]

Get the girl to take nudes and fap.

[Badger]

Ask here what she was doing spying on you and where you are, keep an eye on Rodney and ask what why he and his accomplise were breaking into the building

You kneel down beside her and think of handing her the book. You pull it out of your satchel and present it towards her.

You dropped this

This breaks the strange ice between you and the girl as she regains her bearings. She gently takes the book from your gloved hand.

I- I apologize. I clearly was tampering with magic i shouldn't have. You don't seem angry as i was expecting you to be. Its out of your nature compared to the others... thank you by the way... for saving my life.

[bloody jumper]

Wait, my items are rusted and I had petals in my pockets. Don't they put petals in coffins? Oh stuff.

[Badger]

yea I thought that book would be some voo doo juju

What she said confused you. But also worried you. Magic? Angry?

You see a shard of glass reflecting your person. You can't see your face, only your shirt.

You... do know what you are don't you?...

Your gloves have been on your hands this whole time. Have you actually checked yourself lately?

[Badger]

take off the GLOVES 

[Tayasaurus]

take off the GLOVES 

You grab at the fingertips of your left glove slowly. Almost dreading what you might find underneath. Maybe its best just kept a secret....

Screw it. You pull off the glove.

You lose your balance and stumble to the ground backwards, not letting your eyes look away from what you're seeing. A boney, dead, skeletal hand shows in the bright light.

A puddle next to you, shows an even more dreadful visage.

[Badger]

continue to question after coming out of shock

ask where you are
