The Grandfather of the Reunion

Act 1-4

Personnel management

Starting first memory playback with: memory of certain day

[They went left, following the tracks made by whatever car zoomed by. They each were going low to the ground, and using the intact-but-still-ruined cars as cover. Some of them were confused as to why they're doing that, mostly Bob, Hosea, and Mephisto were doing it. The last one was just copying his new father.]

Gordon: "Hey, um, why are we sneaking?"

Skullshatterer: "And how can this guy sneak without falling over?"

Bob: "I have a good reason why I'm sneaking. Temperance is too black, too unexpected."

Hosea: "Also, it's basic survival instincts 101. Always stay low."

Gordon: *Stays low as well.* "Well, couldn't argue with that."

Crownslayer: "Why did we bring the kid as well?"

Hosea: "Hey, he can be useful too, just you watch."

[The streets of Temperance were oh so silent and empty. No signs of life except for the ruined cars, boarded up buildings, and the trash littered all around the streets, sidewalks, and even insides of looted buildings. They had to resort on turning on their torches, either chest torches, handheld torches, or fire torches. But it's a good thing Hosea quickly discarded the last one...kids shouldn't play with fires unless they know how to control it.]

[The skidmarks were getting more and more jagged and evidence of whatever reckless driver was inside was swerving something. Of course, their brakes went out of commission, and they desperately tried to combat it by ruining the car.]

Gordon: "Either a student driver, or someone thought it were a good idea to joyride something."

Crownslayer: "I remember the first time I had to drive."

Gordon: "You...hijacked it."

Crownslayer: "You were there, so it's 'We'. Oui oui."

Gordon: "I wish I wasn't."

Hosea: "What kind of history have you two have been through?"

Gordon: "The nightmare inducing mixed dream of course."

Skullshatterer: "I picked a bad time to not clean the goggles on my mask. Damn smog, why is pollution a thing?"

Crownslayer: "Ask the politicians. You can't spell 'pollution' without 'politicians'."

Gordon: "That doesn't even make a nick of sense."

Bob: "Shh! Quiet! Jesus! Is this your first recon mission?"

Gordon: "Well, actually-"

Hosea: "Everyone, shut up, we need to be focused."

Mephisto: "Look! The tracks lead to the right!"

[They made it to a T-shaped intersection, with two paths, leading directly straight, and directly right. The trail leads to the right, as what Mephisto pointed at, so they went to the right. They eventually discovered the car, which unfortunately crashed into a large pole for a fast food restaurant. The car was smoking, but not in flames. It was also worse for wear, it's a miracle it was still driving, but maybe that's the reason why the brakes fail. Well, at least the old car is out of its misery, but what about the driver?]

[The surrounding area, which mostly consists of unnecessary stores and more restaurants, were affected. The buildings adjacent to the accident won't be worth to scavenge what's left of its husk. Speaking of husks, those ghoulish and greenish cannibalistic creatures Gordon and Hosea encountered were surrounding the car. Banging it, and shaking it, even kicking it and punching it, basically, they're beating the hell out of it. Trying to get to their midnight lunch.]
