Let's make some Summer Memories: Let's all play Disaster Report 4 maybe

[username]

Looks around

Hmm, this didn’t really catch on. Oh well, I guess I may as well just LP it up then.

Day 4: In which we reach day 2

Summary

We pick up with this lady whose name I never caught still following me around no matter how much I’d rather she didn’t, why can’t she be more like this lady waiting for a bus that will clearly never come.

I like that all the convenience stores decided to jack their prices up independently of each oth…

…Oh hell no, I’ve got no interest in dealing with this guy again.

Unfortunately upon checking out the rest of the store there is someone complaining about how the restroom is locked, so I take a deep breath and return to the fake clerk so I can yell at him about getting the bathroom key.

Sorry dude, just pee on the shelves as I’m outta here!

Normally I would yell at this lady about how these are clearly not bags but it has been a very long day. Maybe someone upstairs will be less deluded.

I guess not… wait, I mean yes, yes I am you clearly perceptive individual you!

This man was seemingly stuck here waiting to deliver an envelope from the company’s president to his son, but at the last second is struck by the annoying suspicion that maybe he shouldn’t just take some random guy’s word for it.

Fortunately like most employees all this guy wants is to do just enough to not get yelled at, so I now have the envelope. He also lets me know that there is money enclosed…

OMG 300,000 yen, I’m rich, heck I’m probably a millionaire now! This is the best day ever!

Man, now that I’m rich… what is it that rich people do?

…They go to space~

I put on my space suit, add on a cowboy hat as that feels like a rich person thing to do as well and…

…and I gotta pee, shoot.

sigh I guess space will have to wait. This had better be the greatest bathroom I’ve ever seen.

At the very least it has a window I can sneak out of, losing 100k to finally ditch that lady is almost worth it.

…GD it.

There is a cardboard box nearby, and upon examining it there is a cat inside (not pictured/animated). We all know what must be done…

…What? I’m not a monster.

Naturally I round the corner and the entire previous walkway collapses behind me, I run to see what has become of that poor cardboard box and cat…

(The game is also not made by monsters)

On the other side I stumble upon the president’s actual son. I read the letter earlier and it was a message to his son that he had not seen in several years that he was selling the company and moving overseas, but he wanted him to know how truly sorry he was about how they had not spoken in so long.

…Unfortunately the last page of the letter mentions leaving his son six months worth of spending money that I have no interest in returning, so he’ll have to live without closure.

We finally reach the ferry and this is the happiest non-money-related moment of my day. She couldn’t have left a moment sooner, I’ve been starving and thirsty for ages now but knew if I took any food or drink out she’d probably want me to share.

Well fed and again on my own I can resume my favorite past time: snooping on folks. Let’s see what’s going on with the ferry crew.

Nothing much, just they ran out of room on the ferry, crucial infrastructure is failing and they will see if they can wrangle up any extra lifeboats for those left behind.

Finally the manager notices me and if I’m honest I’m just enjoying watching the show, I give it about 50-50 odds that a riot is about the break out.

The ferry manager hurries me out of the building and on the one side I get to watch the ferry sail away while the remaining staff tries to calm those left behind. Clearly nothing useful is gonna happen here so I turn to check out what’s going on in the other direction.

I am beginning to miss the terrible high school girls.

Whats her name tells me that she was supposed to meet her fiance here, they were gonna do the honeymoon before the wedding (red flag IMO) and why isn’t he here?

I tell her the obvious, the whole city is falling apart after all. Heck according the the news people on that one channel you take your life into your hands every time you enter the active warzone that is a modern liberal hellscape city so he was probably doomed anyways.

The manager guy comes out and yells at use for just hanging out out here. I appreciate him shutting her up but all things considered this is probably one of the safer places we’ve been all day.

one structural collapse later

From beneath the collapsed awning or whatever it is the manager gives me a key, probably because he also believes I am that company president’s son.

You know that doesn’t look nearly as bad as what she was trapped under, maybe I should help him out as he probably knows where said lifeboats actually are…

Earlier I believed the guy with the knife in his back laying facedown in a pool of blood was just having trouble catching his breath, now I recognize that this half-smushed guy likely isn’t gonna make it. That’s called character development!

I wonder if I should let all those other people know that I might be able to get some of us out of here?

Well, guess I don’t have to worry about that.

(The answer was clearly gonna be no anyways).

We unlock a door, go around the building and find a lifeboat. It is great to finally be safe, if we paddle away from the land then it becomes impossible for an earthquake to harm us any more!

(It would not be a Disaster Report game if there wasn’t a vehicle segment with poor controls. These are at least manageable, but if you don’t manually toggle them off they will leave the directions up the entire time)

Yes, I heard that shrill crying at a loud volume. I may have tinnitus from my several concussions but it isn’t that bad.

Really I’d rather not bother with all of this, but she is rather insistent…

(I understand that this thread is a purely visual medium, so go turn your tv up to a high volume and decide if you needed said tv to tell you that it is loud.)

Place is a mess, no wonder the baby is crying.

The valuable thing I am searching for is some peace and quiet!

The non-baby kid is sick and the mom doesn’t have any medicine (they are living in squalor with everything strewn about so I buy it, also why I don’t bother asking for money). This seems like it’ll be a huge pain in the ass but I’ve been stuck on that tiny boat with that annoying woman for several hours now so lesser of two evils it is.

Unfortunately the people who live in 404 lock their door so I enter the room next door and see if there is maybe an easy way to enter from there.

sigh

Yes it is raining, and yes there is an aftershock when I’m about midway across but I can’t lie… it’s good to have some me time for once.

After I return with the cold medicine the mom says both of us can sleep in here to stay out of the rain. I’ve passed several abandoned apartments on the way here but sure, let’s go with the place that has the crying baby.

As I try to sleep my lady nuisance keeps crying her fiance’s name. I decide to go with sarcasm and am immediately punished as she believes I am sincere and decides to tell me all about him.

Naturally she seems to have met someone as insufferable as she is (seriously though, these are more red flags).

After going on about this for ages I finally am given the option of chiming in.

I legit just lay here making fake snoring sounds. Best response of the game so far.

In the morning we wake up to a flooded room at an awkward angle, both of which I’m pretty sure aren’t how things were before I went to sleep.

With a crying baby!?!?

No!

watching the building sink

There was no way I was going to Yoshi’s Island this, sorry not sorry.

I don’t know why she is concerned about this, it’s not like she’s helped me out one iota so far.

I am sick of everyone at this point so I take just under 20k from this old guy before departing on yet another fetch quest. I got 2 immoral points for this, which I point out as it is the only good or bad points I’ve gotten so far this session. Ponder that for a bit.

Rowing a bit further and we have this big fallen sign blocking our path. We are forced to stop and ponder how to proceed. It is possible we can sort of nudge it loose and let is sink, or find a different route…

What? How do we even tie the rope around it? Where are we even going to find a rope that long? This is a dumb plan maybe we should…

Okay then, join us next time for day 5: search for the long rope~

[wourme]

I would have jumped on this had I not played the game through twice about a year ago. But I’m happy to see it getting attention again.

Haven’t heard anything recently about that open world Disaster Report 5, but you can sign me up in advance for that game’s SB thread.

[Polygonzo]

was hoping I could spend more time on this but it’s probably gonna be like an hour/and a half a week for me

nibbling at disaster

[username]

I know you’ve got a lot going on irl right now, glad that you can get in whatever you can!

[dylan]

Had some commitments these last few days but im now caught up to the exact same spot your last post ended. Will play further tonight. So far ive had a lot more cases of running around trying to work out where the next thing is than i did in 1 or 2, i gotta admit

[iguferon]

im gonna play this when i get back from vacation probably

[dylan]

The shitamura v yamanote section is the best this game has been so far. Very post-yakuza of course, but it feels fresh in this context.

It’s midnight and raining outside, I’m lying in bed in the dark and leaving the game chilling on the toilet menu music

落ち着き

[username]

Yeah the game has a bad habit of not letting you climb on anything knee high unless it is required for progress, and then not marking it as anything special. I am curious if you’ve had anything in your run go much differently than mine has or if it is mostly limited to how you react/talk to people.

Day 5: Search for the Long Rope

Summary

I start my search for said long rope by… is it still breaking and entering if the door is unlocked? Anyways the first apartment I enter has this guy in it who I explain my situation to.

Gee thanks, if I can just get a few hundred other belts this should be a snap.

Hidden in this exchange is the seeds of my doom; can you see it?

I walk out the back of the apartment and see a sight that will become very familiar: the only way forward being to carefully climb over a narrow ledge to a nearby apartment.

(Rather than tax the server here I’ll just upload one image of me climbing and re-use as necessary, but know that I have many screenshots that look exactly like this.)

I emerge at the other side, go out the front door of that empty apartment and down here where at in front of the underwater room 106 I can somehow approach the also submerged room 101, but can’t do anything about it.

Instead I climb up to the fifth floor, enter another apartment with an unhelpful tenant and… yes, that’s a lot of creeping between apartments coming up.)

several apartments to the side later

Full credit to this guy: he neglected to abandon the building before the area flooded from… the earthquake and overnight rain?

ponders silently for several seconds

…But anyways, he at least is shocked enough by someone entering into his fifth story apartment from the patio that is is among the first things he mentions.

After explaining the situation to him he lets me know there is a ladder that’ll take me to the roof nearby, although he does correctly point out that I don’t have a long rope on me.

Even though I lack the long rope I decide to check out the roof as I’m curious if anything useful is up there as it has been a fairly linear route and I haven’t stumbled upon anything other than that belt. I look out over where we have come from to survey the damage from the flooding/sinking?

It seems pretty bad, I wonder how things are doing on the other side of the building?

…Wait a sec.

So this is right by the coast… but everyone in these buildings is trapped and asking me to call for help… like dry land is right there… okay the lady with the baby and the old guy maybe I can see having troubles… yet how deep can it really be if dry land is right there? Forget raising the sign, we can just clear off one of the staircases I can’t climb down due to several bikes parked in the way beyond where the sign is and swim the dozen or so feet to the coast, right?

Right?

Nope, the bikes are unmovable. I deal with it by examining a bit of graffiti that causes me to hallucinate.

Well there is no way forward for me so…

Let’s climb back(track) and see what I missed.

Hmm, maybe I should talk to that guy again?

Aren’t those a bunch of sheets in the closet behind you?

Wait…

…motherfuck.

(see the last time he said the mountain climbing equipment was in room 101 in building C; this is building D. That’s a different building altogether, but now that I know that something is down here I am willing to check it out. 3rd pictured (maybe 5th actual) time’s the charm.

So I swim through the flooded room… 106 or 101, grab the soaking wet sheets and drag them out. Fortunately I did not drown.

While wet sheets and a belt are good, the climbing equipment will likely have a better/actual rope, so time to visit building C.

I did not forget how the boat controls since the last time I was in it, but thanks for putting this back up just in case.

Anyways find a place where I can enter building C, climb up some stairs, breaks and enters some more…

Oh hey, that old guy I held up for money earlier. Surely if you were willing to do that you’ll give me the climbing rope?

Wait, guy in room 101, right.

…what do you mean I can’t reach it from here?

So I find the other place I can land on building C, of course the first floor is underwater because… if it sunk then it’d be underground so it has got to be flooding, but the eventually sqished ferry guy said there fortunately had not been a tsunami yet (don’t think I included that screenshot but it existed) so… how much did it rain last night again?

…I can’t worry about this right now takes a deep breath

Can’t find it, pretty sure I am drowning, one sec.

Okay yeah that was pretty stressful but it’s gotta be in there somewhere, right?

Okay definitely starting to drown and can’t find anything, there’s this box in a faraway closet but everything that has something of note so far has an icon above it or has an x prompt when you get near it, but still I guess I should try it…

…just like the stupid knee high platforms.

I am now very stressed/angry/frustrated, but fortunately I am near a floating S (save point).

Yay, my health is still reduced but now I am no longer stressed out about nearly drowning or the several other nonsensical annoyances.

Yes, let me create this long awaited long rope by combining your belt, the soaked sheets and the… lengthy rope?

…

…

starts to raise finger

…

…So the belt and sheets, the ones I almost drowned retrieving if you recall… they made the rope a slightly different color of rope?

Excuse me one second as I step out onto the patio…

one respawn later

Yeah so do I just try and lasso the sign from here or…?

drops rope

Fortunately the guy from the fifth floor apartment helps me pull what I assume is a very heavy metal sign. We tie it off and I take a peek at how the sign is doing.

Wait… she tied it to the top of the sign.

flashes back

If she could get up high enough to tie a rope around that upper part several times, surely she could have simply…

…you know what, fuck it I don’t care any more.

So if I choose this I don’t have to backtrack across this building D a third time… but the sign is lowered as well. If so wouldn’t I have to both climb all the way back here to reraise it and then back down, so that’d be twice the backtracks?

I’m just gonna climb back down myself.

Okay let’s just finally get past this stupid sign.

Oh the long rope literally snapped right after we got past the sign, I don’t know whether to blame the belt or sheets I attached to it for some reason. Well let me just look ahead to see how much further we have to go…

…Oh we are literally here already, just super. Let’s just get to shore and put this whole annoying deal behind us, we’ll just land and talk to the guy sitting there and…

Oh fuck me.

Next time on day 6: surely better times.

[username]

Day 6: In which we try to not reuse bits

Summary

We are once again on dry land after our sailing misadventures and I am very hungry; I am also without any spare food or water.

You mean via the tracks we can see are half-collapsed right over there? Meh, too hungry to worry about it so sure.

Outside is full of people who abandoned the apartments or got stuck here when the trains stopped running but none of them are really doing anything of note so I decide its time to check out the train station/makeshift shelter. Hopefully they have some food or water…

Dang nabbit.

Clearly this is the best way to move forward as sadly it appears to be the only way.

Unfortunately the shutter gate is down as one of the staff accidentally triggered this in the initial panic and dropped the handle to crank it open somewhere. They had a day to look for it now but I guess that was too much work for them. I just have to find another way up to the platform.

In a minor miracle the thing I have to climb up (that is actually taller than me) is marked with a note that it appears to be climbable. Now I just gotta press X and…

…I get this message.

(The trick is to walk up the rocks on the side and then press x to climb, except 90% of the time it just causes this message to pop up again as they made its interaction zone very wide. Full monkey’s paw points here)

Make my way here and it is in very rough shape, let me just check for anything useful and then we’ll make our way down the surely sturdy tracks.

Oh right, I promised that old guy I’d call for help if he paid me 20k.

…but I hate everything about my quest for the long rope and hope the ocean devours everything even tangentially related to it.

Unfortunately I used up the last of my strength climbing up that several foot tall storage shed, so can’t manage to do the same with this three or so foot tall sign. Can’t even budge it so that lady following me around might actually be needed for once, unfortunately she refused to climb so I guess I gotta go deal with those shutters.

Luckily it is just lying here on the platform in front of these folks, now I just gotta climb back down and…

…Wait, it is usable from this side? There’s literally over a dozen of you sitting on this staircase alone, neither you nor the people sitting by it on the platform the entire day you’ve been trapped here decided to try anything? I get not wanting to push that sign over and wander down the somewhat collapsed overpass but the literal key was just over there, you must be the laziest people I’ve ever seen.

You know what? No need for me to get hung up on this, let me just grab my fellow traveler and make my way down the tracks.

Really?

It doesn’t look that thick, surely we can manage this…

…God I’m famished. Fine, there’s dozens of people both inside and outside this shelter, surely many of them will help us.

several minutes later

grumbles laziest goddamn people I’ve ever met…

This family is also stuck as this crowd isn’t helping anybody, even if it involves an elderly man stuck in a partially collapsed house.

We reach an understanding, I’ll try to get the old guy out and this family will help me move that sign. My part seems much harder but fine.

Hop back into the boat so I can sail all the way from the orange cone right here to the orange cone maybe twenty feet away. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to remember how to do so, fortunately a reminder appears.

Man, he’s really stuck in there and that looks a lot heavier than that sign. I need a plan.

My plan is to help this family rescue their daughter’s stuffed animal from a collapsed house in exchange for the family’s help in clearing my path instead. Sorry old guy!

Amazingly said massive stuffed toy fits into my rather slim backpack, about time I caught a break.

I return Ku-chan to the crying kid, now to get the family to help me clear a path forward…

…and only the father is willing to help. I guess I’m back to looking for a tool to help rescue that old guy.

I have no idea what the hell is up with this lady’s father, but regardless I found a tool in the oddest place and can now…

…No, you’re too big of a dick even for me. I’d rather use it to help the old fella.

Now that I think about it, I’m not exactly sure how I thought a crowbar would be useful in this situation. I looked around a good deal before and didn’t see anything else, who else might be holding out on me…

…Goddammit.

Fine, take it.

…And? Oh, that’s it. Great.

Cue 40ish minute montage

Could the station staff help me find a tool? No~

Would sailing around help me find it? No~

Can the lady following me around offer anything useful? No~

Does the storage room maybe contain anything that could aid me? No~

Does alerting the rescue squad make them show up and bring some tools with them? No~

Do moral points help me right now? No~

Can any of you at all be of any use? No~

May I suggest selectbutton.net? No~

Does walking around the entire perimeter pressing X hoping anything will happen help? N… wait, yes~

End montage

After 40 or so real life minutes wandering in circles we finally get that wooden support beam off his leg.

He doesn’t wait for me to crawl out and sail back to the other shore, I assume he was smart enough to just walk along the coast.

That done we can now get to finally taking care of this sign, well technically they push it I am more just sorta leaning against it as I’m so weak from hunger.

That’s really not that big of a sign, surely one of them would have probably been enough…

Anyways we make our way through this train and witness a clear stretch of tracks ahead of us but first we take a moment to collect ourselves as I reflect back on everyone I’ve met and all I’ve gone through recently, as if a series of images played before me as soft music played in the background…

And in this moment of quiet reflection I have a realization.

…This was never an earthquake, this was God’s righteous judgement wiping away the most wicked parts of his creation. As I walk down the tracks and the sky starts to darken I still wish to survive, but I am also now inspired to help God in this divine quest however I can.

Next time (likely some time from now, kinda busy the next few days): we earnestly try not to get stuck again!

[SUPERSONNICK]

thought I had forgotten about most of— I REMEMBER TALKING TO THOSE [redacted] AND WANDERING AROUND UNTIL I FOUND THAT EFFIN JACK, HRRRRGHRGRHRHRHGHHHRRRRRRR

… somehow the feeling of contempt towards Kanae starts to return

seems like this thread has a therapeutical function as well—

@username Received 10 Morale Point(s)!

[dylan]

@username

I am curious if you’ve had anything in your run go much differently than mine has or if it is mostly limited to how you react/talk to people.

So far everything has been the same even though I’ve chosen quite different dialogue options. I assume it’s mostly just for some kind of rank at the end

[username]

Could play this again today, but only for a bit.

Day 7: Start of Day 3, 13 days after Day 1

Hey I can write anything here, it doesn't have to just be "summary", neat!

After following the tracks apparently all night without incident we finally hit a point where the infrastructure finally gives out. Still perhaps this area of the country has not been impacted nearly as much.

Or could be much worse off in general, that’d work too.

I am still starving, so I’m thankful that this man whose I will forever call Beans tells me where I can finally get some food. Perhaps my luck is finally starting to change.

It is not.

There could not have been a more accurate option for me to pick.

Not for nothing but that must be an incredibly sturdy car, a frickin’ train fell on it and all things considered it held up fairly well.

This alcoholic lady was of no use in my quest to find food.

I spend the next several minutes finding people who still have some food from their wrecked stores and mention the name of the guy running the soup kitchen, which causes them to run off to offer their aid. I don’t screw with any of them or ask for money as I didn’t eat yesterday, I really could go for some food.

…Okay maybe some mischief since I’m already here.

It seems that Yamanote and Shitamachi are some of these rival gangs I hear every city is being overrun with, either that or rival neighborhoods. Regardless while I can’t do much here perhaps in the future with the right level of goading bloodshed could be on the menu.

Speaking of menu…

At this point I don’t care if the food is properly spiced, but this drunk guy seems pretty insistent so I will go track her down.

Yes, yes she can. She can stay with you forever as far as I am concerned.

I lie and don’t select the second option, let’s just have things go smoothly for a bit here.

Success! But wait, everyone seems to have left, what happened while I was eating again?

I have no idea what’s gone on in this town before now but the fact that not even a natural disaster can bring these two groups together is… just beautiful.

Now that I have some food in my belly again I am all here for some good old fashioned sectarian violence. There will be no peace until every last one of these monsters is lined up and…

…Fire will work to. So let’s go grab anything can could work as an accelerant and…

…what, no! You were doing so good for a second there Beans!

Absolutely not.

Anyways every runs off and I decide to follow them and see how impressive this fire is, hopefully it can match that excellent apartment fire from earlier.

It is good when bad things happen to dumb people, right?

Sure, this sounds like a solid scam… I mean plan.

This is how I made my next 1000 yen.

Oh boo you, this entire neighborhood would have starved if I didn’t walk down that street to tell them to go to the soup kitchen, I earned that money.

This is two days after the initial earthquake, if you haven’t bothered to do anything yet I ain’t going to either.

I reach the end of the alley and no fire. Uh-oh.

I check off in the distance and can see the faint smoke cloud (nice touch BTW), it seems back towards the tracks I came into town from.

Huh.

Oh yeah, perhaps that other closer cloud of smoke is it. I swear if this is another one of those “wander around endlessly looking for one tiny unmarked thing” deal I will…

…Okay that it fairly reasonably sized.

That is not an impressive fire at all.

Nah, fire’s been pretty good to me so far, you know with the healing and all. I think you can handle this.

After the fire is put out the rival gang/neighborhood shows up and… they seem pretty preppy. How disappointing.

I am all here for this toxic territorial pissing contest that will likely lead to both neighborhoods in flames by the end of the day.

They also made me do a whole fetch quest before they’d feed me!

Oh shit it’s the po-po! Everybody run!

Talking to the one chef who didn’t run afterwards and it appears that we may have a Romeo & Juliet situation here. I recall the body count that forbidden love produced, and smile.

Next time we try and court some tragedy.

[username]

@dylan

The shitamura v yamanote section is the best this game has been so far. Very post-yakuza of course, but it feels fresh in this context.

Okay so just finished this part and it definitely sticks out. Might take a day or two to write about it (much more talking = much more screenshots = about 320 of them) but it was definitely an interesting path the game took there.

[username]

I have no idea how long this may take to write, much less how long it’ll end up being. Forewarned and all that.

Beware

Time to see what this Yamanote place is like.

I can confirm that zero apartments sank and to not look too deeply into this.

This guy isn’t lying, while there is some notable damage here compared to their rival neighborhood they got off light.

(This is the best screenshot I got showing what this region is like, obviously the road is messed up and there are some downed poles but the buildings themselves are in decent condition)

Anyways I poke around some more and… hello?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, thanks to me…

Anyways I buy some food in the nicer town but there doesn’t seem to be a lot to do here, let me see how the lessers are doing since the fire.

I bump into the Beans who is the Romeo to Yamanote’s Juliet, who blew off telling them about the soup kitchen (and hence causing the situation to deteriorate even further) because he snuck off to see his girlfriend when the chance presented itself.

I sorta tuned out Beans here complaining about how their dads don’t get along and they have to sneak around, teenage problems kinda pale compared to all the actual problems, you know. Plus I don’t care.

Eventually he asks me to sneak her a letter and I feel absolutely no guilt about… well much of anything really, but especially demanding some payment for bothering with this.

This is barely worth the 1 immoral point I get, but fine. He gives me the note, tells me to sneak in behind her apartment and toss some pebbles at her window to get her attention. I think tying the letter to an actual rock and tossing it through said window is more efficient, but whatever.

Just as a reminder, this is the scale of the damage in Shitamachi.

Ha, I just realized that the two neighborhood are separated by the train, this place literally is the bad side of the tracks.

Anyways I sneak onto the property via crawling under the back fence, toss some pebbles…

…Okay, got her attention, now to…

…Okay who are you and why are you crawling in under the same fence I did?

…Oh, arson is why.

Oh shit, with these glasses I’m way too sexy for prison, away I go!

Once a comfortable distance away from the scene of the crime it strikes me that I should probably tell someone about said fire quickly as they are gonna investigate it a lot more if the whole place burns down and a few people saw me fleeing from it.

…Nah, fuck the police. I’m instead gonna ask they guy who works at Juliet’s Dad’s restaurant and has the exact same hair as the guy I witnessed setting the fire.

I should probably tell Beans that I failed to deliver the letter and her place caught fire, given how little he paid he can’t really complain too much.

Jeez Beans, is this how you live?

Before I can explain the situation Juliet’s dad shows up and accuses him of trying to burn his house down because he wouldn’t let Beans date his daughter. This feels like a good time to keep my mouth shut.

Fortunately it ends with a simple abduction and no one asking me any questions, all things considered I think this qualifies as a success.

On both sides of the tracks it seems like everyone is aware of the arson/abduction and have the anticipated reactions to it.

Okay, not everyone. Keep protecting and serving!

It seems like I will have to deal with this situation, so the girl who is still following me around believes the best course of action is to lie to Juliet’s dad about being friends with her so that he’ll let us in and I can find out if she got a clear look at me… I mean how she feels about her Romeo being locked in a shed in her back yard. As this ill-considered plan involves a good amount of lying I’m in.

The sucker buys it, so we’ll just go inside and hope that Juliet doesn’t start screaming about strangers trying to sneak into her room, if I have to bash her on the head at the same place another crime I was witnessed around took place it could be tricky to explain.

Fortunately she respects the universal “shut up your face” sign and better still the two ladies talk it out while I get to just sit around being sexy.

She asks me to solve the crime I am the sole witness to, naturally I should be fairly compensated for saving the love of her life but I swear if I you are as cheap as your boy toy…

Jeez girl, are you single… oh, right. Sure, let’s go save Beans!

Yes, I will go check out your literal back yard. Seems like something you could easily do but hey, for 100k (and 1 immoral point) I won’t even complain that much.

I find a handkerchief which seems like it could have just been in the trash that was arson’d but sure, let’s go see if Juliet knows anything about it. Maybe this’ll be the easiest investigation ever.

Hello, what’s this.

Hmm… I mean it has a skirt but… can I wear this? I can wear it, right?

I… I don’t know why but I kinda like it?

You are no fun

After changing back into my suit in front of her she’s again willing to talk to me and says she thinks it reminds her of her dad’s restaurant, you know the place that employs that guy who looks a lot like the guy who started the fire. Seems like a solid lead, let me go see what her dad thinks.

I see this is gonna be one of those situations. I guess I have to go ask around his restaurant but the thing is that the people who work there already know who I am, so this is going to require… a disguise.

I know just the thing

The guy who I’m pretty certain now that I look directly at him tried to burn his boss’s house down doesn’t recognize the handkerchief, but he does say he saw a suspicious person running off to the bad part of town. I feel like I shouldn’t really have to bother following up on this but on the other hand I’d rather not have to admit I was there at the time so I guess back to Beans’ hood.

Long story short we get sent to several people, eventually figuring out that the handkerchief is from the Chokyo (not to be confused with Tokyo) Hotel, there is secret code on them to show when they are from, and the drunk guy who ran the soup kitchen would know the most about who was the head chef there 13 years ago.

And wow, the guy I saw setting things on fire was the head chef back then and was replaced by his current boss. I think I’ve successfully Matlocked this.

Well it is probably time to go settle this so…

I don’t care, as long as I have these glasses on I’m still sexy AF.

Let me just go tell Juliet’s dad/Mr. Restaurant that I founded the real arsonist.

Hmm, perhaps I should have lead with some actual evidence.

The police here are so out to lunch that nothing would have happened, but he buys it. I guess you have finally earned my respect lady who follows me around, I surely won’t try to rid myself of you at the first available opportunity once again in the near future.

Everyone from both neighborhoods have been gathered in the restaurant that 100% didn’t burn down thanks to my help, so I gotta figure out exactly what I want to say.

God this would be a hilarious prank to pull on them…

Grr, fine.

Leading off with how I’m definitely not a criminal is always a great move and never raises any questions.

Milking the hell out of things and having props is exactly what I want to do, and god do I look great in these glasses, I am the best fake lawyer ever.

God I really nailed that finger point.

Well I think that takes care of everything, no loose ends or anything left to chance…

…In retrospect probably should have taken the butcher’s knife away beforehand.

Wait, I’ve got an idea!

Was worth a shot.

Anyways he was the head chef, the hotel president changed right when an inexperienced worker caused an accidental food poisoning incident and he got blamed for it and Juliet’s dad took his place, you know the usual…

…Jeez dude, overreact much?

Wait… you were the head chef 13 years ago, killed your wife and an actual baby the following year and are out of jail already? These liberal judges and prosecutors have gone way too far with their supposed sentencing reforms.

I don’t know what is more darkly hilarious: how little of a background check this place did before hiring the baby killer, or how if he could get this job after killing his family he surely could have found a similar one beforehand with a bit more effort.

I’m pretty sure he’s bluffing, doesn’t seem like the type to have it in him.

The well timed aftershock agrees with me.

Which is lucky as it turns out Juliet here is the daughter who got taken away from him and who was adopted by the guy he swore revenge on. God would his face have been red if he went through with it and killed his own child… you know, again.

He turns himself in and after such a tense, awful situation the only thing that can be done is some deep soul searching and perhaps a gradual rebuilding of relationships damaged over…

Psych, it’s party time! Another soup kitchen is held, this time with both neighborhoods present and everyone getting along and complementing each other on the food they brought. It’s truly awful, I don’t think there is a single way this could have gone worse for me.

And then this guy runs up and lets everyone know that there has been a burglary and I’m sorry but I’ve solved enough crimes for the day.

…You have got to be shitting me.

Literally all of you were in the fake trial just now, you know what we were doing all day.

Did you idiots learn literally nothing from this whole thing?!?! The last guy you jumped to conclusions about you locked in the shed too, I proved it wasn’t him, he is literally sitting right there!!

So we’re in the shed now.

This is how I am going to die, in literally the dumbest way possible.

This would have been you asshole, you owe me one!

Oh, you actually showed up to help me, forget that whole asshole bit.

We sneak out, they went through all the trouble of setting up a single ladder to get us back onto the tracks but I’m just glad to put this whole damned place behind me.

…but you know, I do kinda wonder what would have happened if I stuck with that prank idea I had…

Heh, woulda been pretty sweet.

Next time: who knows~

[username]

Day 9: Hey I forgot to call the last one Day 8, don’t tell anyone

Secrets

Here we are a good way down the tracks and far away from both of those horrible neighborhoods, now I wonder which way we should head?

Okay well that answers that.

I drop back down to street level and I see that after three days of this everyone is handling themselves well.

Preach!

Lady you are sitting under an underpass that just partially collapsed a minute or so ago, part of it is down at a 45 degree angle right in front of you, maybe move? Everyone in this city except me are the most helpless things imaginable.

Let me see what is across the street.

…Are we really gonna do this again?

sigh

I haven’t drank anything in a good 36 or so hours, so price gouged I must be.

I check next door and it’s that company that jerk I swore I would make kneel before me claimed was sabotaging him. I assume they are good folks and decide to pay them a visit.

This is literally the only non-president employee in the building, so I question if a receptionist is actually needed.

(I never noted it but you pick up different looking compasses all the time that pop up in the lower corner when wandering about, I always just activate whichever one I stumble upon. I note this one as I think some of you will recognize the fella.)

I stumble upon this company’s president in a discussion with Nakanishi, the vice-president or something of that jerk’s company and/or the greatest NJPW wrestler of the past twenty or so years. Time to eavesdrop for a bit!

Sadly Nakanishi, ever the loyal goof did not come here to jump ship but to ask this company’s president to please stop spreading misinformation about his company and their asshole president. Broke my damn heart.

I walked in to try and convince Nakanishi otherwise but… actually this may be the first guy in quite a while to object to me wandering around places I shouldn’t. I mean, aside from those jerks who locked me in that shed.

Fortunately it seems like that other company is going down the drain regardless, given their current/former(?) employees are now selling their possessions on the street out of cardboard boxes. Probably nothing good, but should at least browse…

That is quite the dress, I wonder…

Eh, I don’t really have the legs for it. Nice shoes though.

Seeing as there isn’t much else to do here and the other half of that road is gonna collapse eventually I try to leave, but someone locked the gate out of here. Let’s see who’s in charge of it…

…I don’t want to walk up all those stairs again.

I guess maybe you are needed here.

Right past the gate I see a guy with some scooters and my feet are really sore after all this walking down train tracks and such, so a little white lie/light larceny doesn’t seem too bad. Unfortunately the tire has a flat, but if I find a repair kit he’ll let me borrow them like the sucker… I mean good soul he is.

Wait, you have one? But you’re…

…literally a dozen or so feet away from him. Does nobody in this city other than me talk to folks?

Yes it is, feel free to just use it and narrate its step-by-step use.

…Wait, what water? There hasn’t been running water here in days and I saw no standing water anywhere on this street.

You know what, not gonna look a gift scooter in the mouth.

Okay we have a whole control scheme set up for this, I sure hope I can keep this straight for the long journey ahead of me.

Okay so I turn right onto this street…

Take the on ramp up to the highway…

Drive for 15 seconds in a straight line…

Have the road collapse…

And appear here?

…

…

turns around

turns to the viewer

Okay so they literally implemented an entire scooter mechanic and control scheme to have me ride for legitimately less than 30 seconds (legit the whole sequence was pictured above), yet for the end of the sequence it literally just fades to white with us reappearing next to a fallen road, no animation or nothing? Who allocated these resources???

Anyways we landed right outside the company run by the asshole, should probably drop in. Also the overpass running along this road is fully collapsed now so I hope they took care of the dozens of people/bodies lying underneath it before that happened.

Fortunately it appears the company’s in full collapse and I didn’t have to do anything. That’s… actually kinda disappointing, I wanted to be the one to knock him down a peg or seven.

Can still needle the prick over it at least.

Yeah, keep on winning while your losses pile up.

The only way forward is backwards it seems so let’s go revisit where that hotel inferno was a few days back. At the very least it seems less flooded/on fire now.

Oh yeah, I remember that. I guess they found that body, the cops around here seem to be pretty on the ball so I’m sure they’ve got a good handle on things.

Or the killer is literally wandering around the alley behind the murder scene.

Hey I gave you a first aid kit for your injury, so we should be cool, right?

First off those rings looks fake as hell. Second…

I mean she’s clearly crazy, she may fall for it…

I guess not, anyways could you just take a step to the side and let me pass, that’d be great…

Huh, did not expect that to work. Lots of strong conclusions to these side stories so far.

Back inside the seemingly no longer flooded restaurant I take this opportunity to sneak through everybody’s lockers, each seems to contain a single bit of clothing or… clothespins?

Hmm… nah, just a step too much.

I tell her that the destroyed restaurant that still only has a handful of tables despite being open for a while now isn’t gonna make it, she instead swears they will reopen. Betting on a restaurant to fail is among the safest in the world so I feel confident in my chances.

The waitress outside drops that the head chef only actually owns half the place, with some mystery lady owning the other.

Turns out there is another person standing in a dark corner inside, who lays out a whole backstory for the place and everyone involved with it. A wealthy old guy likes to prop up small businesses/people he believes in, so he gave half the money for this place to said chef and half to some other still mystery woman who he believes is a hard worker but may not have the brain for the business side of things.

Man, this is gonna be a whole thing I gotta piece together and solve, isn’t it?

Apparently not, that’s the end of it! How… rushed? I guess I should see what everyone else is doing out here.

Dude…

There’s literally an entire fallen building across the street a few feet in front of you, that road ain’t gonna be open for a whiiiiiiile.

So… can I just walk into what remains of the burnt down hotel? Are you police folks even paying any attention?

I guess I can. Let me just check out these stairs…

Okay let’s just leave then.

(The game is going for a diegetic music thing as the song starts and fades in/out as you approach/walk away from this lady playing a guitar.)

(The picked a song with full instrumentation rather than an acoustic track.)

When she finishes up she recognizes me from… well ignoring her earlier and wants to tell me something later.

I go check in on the auto dealership where that jerk knocked me over and the manager catches me up on things. Also I looked up that term back on day 2 or 3 and I’m pretty sure that is not what liquefaction actually means.

I leave and am stopped by this lady I do not recognize.

Oh right, you were the one who stayed in the collapsed building even though everyone else left and also defied gravity. You were annoying.

Basically that, yeah.

She starts pouring her heart out and…

Yep.

Sure thing, have a nice life.

Please don’t touch my glove.

This reminds me there was that other lady with a guitar who wanted to speak with me.

Yes yes you are a musical street person, get to the point.

Okay and this involves me how?

Wait a sec.

Well thanks, this would have been great to know a few days ago! Why didn’t you tell me when we first… well some guy harassed you and I kept my mouth shut. Hmm, there might be a lesson in there.

…Not one that I can figure out though.

I am now annoyed at everyone here, the lady guitarist who didn’t give me a heads up, the killer wandering around the alley who still won’t share those jewels with me, the cops who three days later still haven’t noticed the crazy lady wearing the stolen jewels right behind the murder building, the restaurant that only serves background info, the burnt out building and the auditory hallucinations contained within, that woman who keeps trying to hold my hand while starting longingly into my eyes. Don’t even get me started on the lass who is still following me around after all this time. The only way out seems to be under this crumbling structure and I am now ready to crawl under it and hopefully embrace oblivion.

Next time: will a building fall on me while I’m crawling under it, the answer may shock you~

Day 10: Something something full circle

BTW I finally remembered to take a screenshot of the page that show my moral/immoral points.

I’ve apparently been way more moral than immoral somehow!

Words and images hidden here

We continue to make our way back through familiar areas and oh no I forgot about the school girls.

I see they’ve clearly been doing well since I left.

Nice to see that that they all grew closer together during these trying times. Then again the other two were literally the worst and you are very annoying.

Again, they are the worst. In fact they are so bad that I am actually going to do something about this, I haven’t been able to get vengeance on anyone so far so you are in luck for once!

…I swear if that jerk is in another one of these stores.

Oh good it is just the normal guy, which allows me to stock up on reasonably priced food and drink. I remember that hurt guy hiding in the back of this store, should probably check and see if he is better or dead.

Oh, it’s you two. Well better get started on the vengeance…

Hmm, this is all I can do.

I’m normally against narcing but I seem to be short on options, but she doesn’t seem to think this would be a wise course of action.

…So I’ll have to handle this myself.

I get that you are worried about your younger brother, but there’s sorta some stuff going on with the kids you are chaperoning through a disaster zone…

Okay you are just gonna sit here rambling on about this, great.

These are literally the only people left here, everyone else has moved on to I assume some sort of shelter. I go back and talk to everyone once more but there seems to be nothing else for me to do. I guess I… should just leave?

In general of course I shouldn’t be able to solve some high school kid’s problems just because I bumped into them for a bit but in this specific situation the fact that I have no role to play feels somehow wrong, you know?

Okay I guess the only thing to do is just return back to where this all started, where the bus I was on got thrown on its side and I was forced to deal with all of this.

Here is the building where I pretended to be one of the people there for a job interview, now converted into a temporary shelter for the students (and only the students) who were visiting for it.

These two are still here arguing about this three days later, how adorable.

Hey, under where that building is now lying is where I got my first concussion! I have no idea how many I’ve gotten since then. I mean that seriously, my memory has gotten incredibly spotty.

I see the park is now lit up and acting as a general use shelter, may as well see what’s going on there.

Oh hey, it is that guy who was hurt in the back of the convenience store, turns out he was the guy she’s been worried about all this time. How… exactly what I was expecting.

This is literally true, if I had my way she’d still be under the rubble in the subway.

Wait, is that literally the old women who I had to give my seat up for on the bus? You started all of this!

I do remember that I neglected to pick up whatever was in that locker, but I’ve had to put up with his fiance for ages now so I think it is only fair that I get to screw with him a bit.

I guess it couldn’t have been that important.

It is at this moment I have a startling realization: I got Big Trouble In Little China’d. This is why I couldn’t do anything about the high schoolers, that business jerk, the murderess, anyone really; I’m not the main character in this situation… they are. I was just here to accompany her back to him.

I think I may be sick.

Yeah yeah… I can’t deal with this right now.

Pathetic old guy I still love your vibes but I gotta sort some things out for myself right now.

There are people saying the street will open tomorrow morning and all of this is giving me an awful feeling. It’s just too perfect circle, I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and there will be another bus and this whole adventure will literally end right where it began and the pointlessness of it all, my pointlessness will be hammered all the way home.

In the morning I sneak back a bit to see how it is going with the high school girls and their teacher, I can’t make it back down there but they seem to be gone.

Oh, now that it is daylight I see that the ground was covered in office chairs because they spilled out of the windows of that office building, that’s actually kinda cute.

Well I put it off as long as I could but it is time to go down the now open road and accept my fate…

…and my fate is a whole new city square of my own, no busses in sight! Forget last night, time to get back to my story!

You think so? Let me take a look from the other side.

Looks fine to me!

No my friend, I agree with you completely!

What are you talking about, I’m feeling great! I’m doing fine. I…

I can’t deal with being a supporting character to that idiot lady.

Hmmm…

I mean… no reason I can’t make a few bucks off these idiots.

Yeah I’ll catch up with you later, just wanna check out a few things first.

I’m worried they didn’t quite finish writing all the side stories… I mean me too!

I blame George Soros.

There are many collapsed buildings all around here, countless dead, the camp literally behind you is dangerously low on supplies, but as long as this ugly dog statue survives things will be okay.

Wait, that jerk’s company whose stock prices are currently plummeting? I could maybe be interested…

Wow, a million huh, I only got 375k. I guess… I guess if I had done better up until now I could have actually gotten my revenge on him. Lotta bitter pills the past 12 or so hours.

Finally, someone else who agrees with me that the earthquake, if it even existed, wasn’t that big a deal. It was all those other various boogeymen who’re responsible for all of this.

Friend let me tell you about Building 7…

Oh yeah, those people wearing identical clothing who had vague promises about being able to solve all the problems in my life. Should probably follow up on that.

Yeah I’ll just go through this dark passage into the underground…

Next time: I got a good feeling about this.

[username]

Day 11: The White T-Shirt Apparatus

Shorter entry this time, I promise.

Well here are the two who claimed they had a system for solving any and all problems and worries I could have, which is a totally reasonable claim that doesn’t cause me any worry whatsoever.

Moment of truth…

A well catered, air conditioned room with guests. How wonderful and unconcerning.

Everyone doing that with their hands as they say that does not raise a single red flag.

It does seem kinda odd that they have all this stuff in a random underground room though, then again I definitely earned some good luck.

Oh good, the guy who is responsible for all this is showing up, I’m sure he can take care of any small lingering doubts I have…

…

…Seriously, all you people are entrusting yourselves to this goober?

Wait a sec, what duties?!? No one mentioned duties. I need to look into all of this.

…But first things first.

He is right about the idiot part, but everyone here seems really sold on this set-up in a way that… I’m still working my thoughts out on.

I stumble upon that kid from the sticks whose family saved up to send here for a job interview and one thing has become abundantly clear: they are literally just taking any sucker in here.

So many suckers all gathered here and drinking, I smell money.

Wait a sec.

Oh shoot this might be the deep state, might have to abort and get the heck away from here.

…Wait, they are asking for money?

This is why you and your family are poor. I need to check up on this stat.

Yeah yeah skip the sales pitch, get to the part where I’m supposed to pay you for something.

And a big puzzle piece falls into place. Let me go check in on the great and powerful Mr. Hakuyo…

Well hello~, what do we have here?

Excuse me, let me just wipe away this excess salivation I mean let’s talk about salvation!

And here we are at the truth of the matter: this is clearly a pyramid scheme, designed by the mustache man to capitalize on the desperate and gullible and enrich himself. I need to get out of here.

…As thanks to these disasters we are now flooded with both the desperate and the gullible, and if you get into a pyramid scheme early enough (say right before a ton of people get reeled in due to hunger and exhaustion) you can make a killing. Heck, if I do good enough that the guy in charge leaves me around that safe long enough I may be able to wrangle up enough money to buy that company and finally break that jerk who dared bump into me that one time. Perhaps all my enemies could be brought to heel!

Friend, I can take you to some folks who’ll make sure you’ll only be worn out for the best of causes.

Yes just follow me right down here…

I sure did!

Morality is a… curious thing, isn’t it?

Hmm I brought him here and yet I don’t see him anywhere, he’s definitely not back at the job site as I checked there…

Eh, I’m sure it’s fine.

This square is swimming with dissatisfied folks so we’ll end the day here and skip me getting as many humans as possible beneath me in this pyramid scheme, when we resume tomorrow I assume I will be awarded my riches!

[username]

Day 12: Let’s break the moral/immoral point economy

In which things accelerate to an alarming degree

(Loading screens don’t believe in subtext)

Turns out I only had to bring in three suckers for them to consider me a recruiting wonder.

I step out for a few minutes and they managed to let a non-idiot in, hopefully he doesn’t blown my growing pyramid scheme before I can take them for all they are worth.

Oh, he’s being prevented from leaving, that’s… good? Worrisome?

After that is sorted out I’m brought back indoors and told that thanks to my impressive recruiting I am being given the honor of talking to the leader, I don’t have the heart to tell them I walked into his office and spoke to him last episode.

This feels like a trick question, I will have to handle this delicately.

one uncomfortably long silence later

Wait, what?

So after not answering his question and I presume beating him in a staring contest, I now am now the cult leader.

Since I am basically god now I judge myself as very moral.

After he leaves I am struck by the notion that the feds are closing in and I’ve been left here as the fall guy and that he’s already absconded with all the money, but it’d be negligent to not at least check…

HOLY FUCK!

YES!!!

Who gives a fuck, I’m rich!!!

Everyone here has been informed of the change and call me leader while dedicating themselves to my cause. All my good work has finally paid off.

I know exactly what I have to do first.

Hmm that is a bit concerning…

Yes kneel before me as a god deserves, you are the first but surely won’t be the last…

I will make that jerk kneel before me after all, mwahahaha!

back at the office

Those who follow the correct path shall be saved, all others must fend for themselves.

Still…

I’ve got a good thing going here, we don’t need the cops showing up and ruining everything.

And this man, free once again, blows my mind by doing the most incredible thing.

He moves cardboard boxes out of the way of a staircase, an act I was convinced was utterly impossible. These are the wonders the world now contains with me as its godhead.

…All I said was not to kidnap that guy.

Oh hell no, I got 30 million in this backpack and no intention of giving it back. It’s not like you’ve got cultists all over the town ready to capture anyone fleeing.

Oh shiiiit, run away!

lots of running from dozens of people in white t-shirts later

Okay I think the coast is clear, let me catch my breath for a bit…

Oh good, for a sec I was worried that was a white t-shirt.

This old lady had a wall fall on her leg due to an aftershock and seems to be incapable of walking on her own and… well she caught me in a good mood. If I can carry 30 million I can carry an old lady for a bit, plus if the cultists show back up I can toss her at them while I make a break for it.

I give her a piggy back ride down the street to her son’s house, I’m sure her family will be glad to see her.

…What?

Ah, they fight just like my parents did.

While it is none of my business that lady would probably smother her in her sleep, the hospital is only a couple blocks from here so sure, I’ll manage.

Of course.

Yeah, kinda what I expected.

Okay I’ll just climb over this metal awning to the other side…

…on second thought let’s try climbing into this building and find a way across through there.

When we get to the hospital I gotta get all these concussions checked out.

Great, just takes me down to a wrecked bookstore still on the same side as the chasm.

At least it wasn’t a wasted trip.

Grandma objects, I politely remind her I can leave her here.

Okay, what’s the worst that can happen?

reload

What a terribly timed aftershock, if I wasn’t balanced just right that could have went poorly for both of us.

On the other side there are a few less than helpful gawkers and a further blocked road, so I’ll just have to drag this old lady up another flight of steps and across…

…You know what? No, I ain’t dealing with this.

So just gotta cross this which gets me a bit closer.

Bump into this lady’s grandson…

Who has a super secret shortcut…

That is literally just walking down one staircase under this bridge and going up the other side.

…Man if that kid wasn’t here this would be a great place to dump grandma and move on with my life.

On the other side we bump into another person who knows grandma and is willing to let me rickshaw her the rest of the way to the hospital in his cart. Given how I’ve been carrying her for a while immediately after having to flee from all those cultists I am thankful for something that will make it slightly less annoying.

Yeah I think I can figure this out without the detailed instructions.

Yeah, a lot of this and things collapsing due to aftershocks four days after the fact.

Finally, now to drop you off at the ER and move on with my life and riches.

You have got to be shitting me.

She’s got a gaping bloody wound in her leg from when a wall fell on it, I can see into the ER and most of them seem better off than that!

You’ve…

In the next town!?!?!?

…If I ask for your inheritance your daughter-in-law will try to stab me.

…Well I’ve got no choice, I guess back to the cart then.

…

several hours later

I am… so tired.

I don’t know about her but I am dying here man.

What has happened to literally everyone, I cease to be god and immediately everyone becomes dicks.

Okay I see a guy in a wheelchair over there, that’s gotta be the place.

I’m damn sure not all of you need those wheelchairs, jesus christ!

Is there some place I can drop her off and get my now-herniated disc in my back checked out?

I am so very tired.

If I have to walk you across this parking lot another time I will literally cry.

I am now crying tears of joy as this young man let’s us sit on these tires while he sends a kid to fetch the doctor, now things will definitely be fine.

Oh hey… you. Sorry about that whole kidnapping thing but I did eventually have you released.

Yes, everyone literally turned away an old lady with a visibly broken leg. They must have even more immoral points than I do.

For those keeping track at home, it has taken less than four days for society to begin to collapse. With supplies short people have broken down into gangs (like the Romeo & Juliet ones from before) with those who’ve lived here all along making sure to get them first and the rest being forced to live off the scraps.

…And it is now feeding time, surely this won’t explode into any sort of conflict, we’ll find out… next time~!

Including this at the end so everyone can see how absurd things have gotten. When I posted this screen two updates ago I was at 35/24 moral/immoral points, which basically means anything good or bad I did in all that time in the grand scheme of things was meaningless; I believe I acted as if that was true at the time so it is good to be proven right!

[SUPERSONNICK]

I wasn’t aware that this went off the rails so quickly with the white hats… shirts club members, but rest assured that we have a great time reading up on those choices we didn’t dare to take (us ungodly, poor fellows)
