I felt stupid. Like a chimp throwing dung. That's a whole new level of stupid. I felt stupid in school, but this is Lo Vag stupid. Lo Vag. It's Los Vegas. Yeah. My IQ cannot possibly be higher than 12.
Anyway, so yeah. I had little Butters in my arms as I walked into the city, the poor girl had been working herself to death to keep walking. I figured since we're in a city, were going to find a hotel or something around here. But I didn't know what city I was actually in. On another building, it said L VEGA, So I thought maybe a man who's last name was vega owned that building. Or woman. Whatever.
Yeah. I kept seeing signs with different words made with the letters L-O-S and V-E-G-A-S. It took me a while to figure it out. When I did, I gave myself a face palm loud enough to wake a bloater.
I kept walking down, Butters on my shoulder. She kept licking the outer rim of my ear, and it kinda tickled. But it made my ear wet and cold. I didn't mind much.
Anyway, I kept walking down the strip. I saw some regular houses and such when I entered, but it seemed the farther I went into the city, the more movie-like it got. I saw all these casinos, some weird looking buildings, and some skyscrapers that apparently were also casinos.
I stepped into a medium sized casino to rummage. The small thump of my battered Vans was what filled the silent building. I saw the register, and walked over to it slowly. Checking all the cabinets and the cash register, I found 8 dollars and a baby pin. (I was surprised when I found the money, all currency is basically useless now.)
I put butterscotch by the register, and tied her leash to it. As much as I knew she wanted to roam, I was not taking the risk of losing my only friend. I pet her a few times to get her warm, then began off into the empty casino.
I took rip out and held it in stabbing position as I scavenged. I found 78 dollars and the rest was just cigarette butts and broken cups. I wondered why this place hasn't been either rummaged to the ground or burned to it yet. This place seemed so....untouched. And in the case of a major infection outbreak, when something seemed as the day the infection started, then that means to claim your prize, ya need to slay a dragon.
I got the back of the room after some more searching, finding 128 dollars total. No idea what i'd do with it. Maybe if I find a friendly Z COM station, they'd take it in for trade of something. Anyway, there was a back room behind a big blackjack table. Used up a little bit of my hidden energy reserve that people call your muscles to move it. I moved the table enough that I could squeeze through the door.
The first thing I did on the other side was take out my baseball bat. I had it since infection started, and thank god it's solid metal. Otherwise, it'd be broken by now. I held the bat up high, ready to smash any sign of life. I heard scratching and rummaging, it was probably just a rat.
Heh. Just a rat. I love it when I'm just SO wrong sometimes.
The "rat" came up in front of me. Even if I didn't have some idea that this was not a rat, I'd still back away. But the bone dust and broken skulls in the far corner of the room told me otherwise.
I paused. More scurrying was heard. and rat #2 was at my feet. Along with 4, 5, and 6. One after another, the rats came to my feet. I kept backing up. Eventually, they were stacked up on top of each other like Legos. They were making an odd shape. The moment I realized what I was seeing was when they began to fuse.
More and more rats came as the figure morphed into one giant being. It kept rising in height and width. I stood there frozen. In front of me, an unknown species of infected. No notes on it, no possible backstory. All I knew, is that it was one giant glob of fugly.
Welp. I found my dragon.
