The Deal: Revisited [History Repeats Itself]

[tber123]

> READ ABOUT PROTAGONIST SYNDROME

You read about Protagonist Syndrome in the article. The article spouts off some bullstuff about people hearing a variety of different voices in their heads ordering them to do a variety of things, ranging from public procrastination to shooting little kids in the face to self harm, such as throwing oneself out of a window.

There doesn't seem to be much research in this article, only a bunch of anecdotal evidence from people hearing voices in their heads. Seeing as how you've never heard voices in your head at all, you doubt that you've got this bogus disease. Sure, you occasionally do weird things without thinking, but that's just how you were since childhood. You don't like to think much about childhood, since it was so lonely and miserable.

"Hey!" The man with the spider-drone accompanying him says. "C-can I join you? P-please? Don't l-leave me h-here."

> ASK IF HE HAS ANY GASOLINE

"G-gasoline? I-I know where to find s-some. T-there's a farm n-nearby on the h-hills to the e-east with g-gasoline. I-I c-can show you where exactly." The man with the drone replies. "M-my f-friends live at the farm. T-they're very friendly. I haven't seen t-them in a long time, though."

As a reminder, your party contains the M60-toting manager of the Roboloveual Wrangler, the man with a red baseball cap who packs a improvised flamethrower, a man with a machine pistol, a man with a sawn-off shotgun, and the overweight guy with a revolver-style grenade launcher.

Your inventory contains a M79 Grenade Launcher, RPG-7, ZTK-501 Plasma Rifle, phone, hammer, some string, a magnet, a magazine called The Manly Man's Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse, a movie poster for BRUTALITY, an article about Protagonist Syndrome, a bunch of gas masks, and a wallet with several hundred dollars.

You are wearing regular civilian clothes that make you look like an average guy, a Rolex watch, and a bowler hat.

You are badly wounded.

Tell him to come with you as you and your gang go to the farm

[tber123]

> RECRUIT NEW GUY AND HEAD TO FARM

Taking the man and his drone into your party, you head east towards the farm. You eventually spot the farm, which consists of a barn, a shed, a cornfield big enough to hide in, a two-story house, and a large fuel tank. One entrepreneur ed-out limousine, a few motorcycles, some tricked out sports cars, and a lot of vans are parked outside the house. You can hear what sounds like a party going on inside the house itself, and you see flashing lights. The inhabitants are also clearly unaware of what just happened in the city itself, since they seem to be partying rather than panicking during this robotic takeover and alien invasion in progress.

"T-this place has c-changed a lot. I h-hope my old f-friends still remember m-me." The man with the drone stutters. "I grew up with this guy everyone called Uncle Jay, and we even went to school together. U-uncle J-jay always got in t-trouble in school, especially f-for wearing gang colors and d-disrespecting the teachers. I haven't seen J-jay in two years because w-we got into a fight over what we w-wanted to be in life. Jay j-just wanted to be a g-gangster or something."

[Rabbot32]

Ask if Jay was the kind of Gangster that you long to be- the kind in a pinstriped suit and tommy gun- or just some maniac shootist.

[tber123]

> VOW TO loveUALLY HARASS ANYONE THAT SAYS A TWO SYLLABLE NEGATIVE ADJECTIVE

You silently vow to loveually harass anyone that says a two-syllable, negative adjective.

> ASK THE KID IF JAY WAS A PINSTRIPED SUIT AND TOMMY GUN KIND OF GANGSTER OR A TRIGGER HAPPY MANIAC TYPE OF GANGSTER

You ask the 17-something guy about what kind of gangster Jay was, specifically mentioning "Pinstripe suit and Tommy Gun" and "Trigger happy maniac" as possible gangster types.

"I-I d-don't know. J-jay just said t-that he wanted to be a g-gangster. He never got into a-anything specific." The man replies.

> HEAD INTO THE HOUSE

You enter the house to find several gangbangers partying, blasting loud music, attempting to dance while drunk, snorting cocaine, playing poker, watching a bad research flick, drowning their sorrows in ludicrous amounts of alcohol, playing darts, and so on. A few men in suits, ties, and sunglasses stand out from the rest of the crowd, marked by their conspicuous refusal to participate in anything that the gangbangers are doing. They're just standing around quietly in strategic locations while keeping an eye on everyone.

> ASK FOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES

You ask the nearest gangster for some medical supplies. "Sorry, bro," He replies, "We wasted all of it trying to save our friend Sal from overdosing on heroin. He died anyways, and it was a real big shame, but I always figured that he would go out like that."

> ASK FOR GAS

"Gasoline?" The gangster replies. "Yeah. We have tons of it. It's all in the basement, though. Nobody's allowed in there except for Uncle Jay and the higher-ups in our gang. We're not the ones with permission to give out gasoline, but Uncle Jay might let you have it. He still seems pretty pissed, though."

"Oh really? Why?" You inquire.

"I'm not sure why. Something about a fool barging in on him a few days ago and ruining his limo. It cost him a lot to replace the windows."

"Any chance I could speak to Jay?"

"He should be down in the basement still. I'll inform him that someone wants to speak to him. Sit back and relax somewhere, okay? This will take a few minutes, probably." The gangster turns around and starts walking for the basement.

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

THIS JAY forgetER IS THE SAME PERSON WHOSE LIMO WE RUINED IN THAT CHASE / FIGHT

[cromartini]

Confront jay and explain him...
EVERYTHING.

[Potatoh]

Call taxi

[tber123]

> WAIT A MINUTE IS THE GANGSTER REFERRING TO THE entrepreneur  WHOSE LIMO WE CRASHED INTO

Yep.

> RUN RUN RUN

Realizing that Jay is the entrepreneur  that the gangster was referring to, you quickly turn around and attempt to leave the house. You push through the other partygoers and make your way to the front door without any problems.

That was easy.

> CALL TAXI

You attempt to call a taxi for a few minutes. Nobody responds. Probably because the entire city got obliterated, don't you think?

> CONFRONT JAY AND EXPLAIN SOME STUFF

Figuring that you could explain things to Jay and make up for crashing his limo, you head back inside the house to find Jay and the seventeen-something geek with a headset talking to each other. Jay's male prostitutes are also lounging around now.

"Eeeeey! Jimmy!" Jay exclaims. "Good to see you again, man! You're still a little bitch as always, too. Just like you were in high school."

"H-hello there, Uncle J-jay." Jimmy exclaims. "I-I need---"

"You remembered my nickname, too, Jimmy! Amazing!" Jay responds. "Anyways, go on."

"C-can I b-borrow some gasoline? M-my new f-friends need it."

"I thought I was your friend, Jimmy? What, you're too good for Uncle Jay and everyone else now? Show some respect!"

"N-no, w-we're still f-friends---"

Jay suddenly notices you.

"Hold up, Jimmy! You're about to see a unfortunate roostersucker getting an ass whooping tonight!" Jay whips out his entrepreneur  staff and shouts out in alarm, silencing everyone at the party and catching their attention. "That's the motherforgeter that crashed my limo! I ought to whoop your ass right now, man! Gimme one good reason not to do it!"

You explain that the limo crashing was an accident. Jay throws his head back and laughs.

"Hah! An accident! Just like you! No, seriously. Nice excuse there, buddy. Give me a good reason not to beat your ass right now."

Jimmy looks around nervously, unsure of what to say to calm everyone down. The other gangsters and bodyguards stare at you with glee, expecting Jay to rip you limb from limb.
