LONG & SHORT - Beef and Ian sneak out to the wagon and get their gear, but in doing so attract VP Stoddard - WTF is he doing here? - and some old weirdos he was hanging out with. They run back, and in that time Lucy and Heather had a tender conversation and ate a petal each. * * * * The two young men stood at the edge of the garden, looking at the girls. Their eyes burned and their clothes writhed. Everyone felt the moment tumble on like a slow drunken dance. Beef and Ian realized it was as easy as wanting to go there, at least with the drug recently in their system. They went to the women, helping them up. Everyone was queasy creepy feeling. The Vice Principal and his bozo sorcerers were running across the green yelling. Mr. Stoddard- "YOU SCRUFFY PEASANTS DON'T BELONG HERE!" The world went all clothy on them, vanishing the bozos! As the cloth strangled up the teens and then spit them out in a crunchy woozy heap, the saw the bed of plants was still there - this time wriggling as if alive, on a bed of cloth. Amid the wriggle was something awful. Colin???- "Fuckin' jews, man."

"...That's disgusting." He says, and then decides to rush the Vice Principle! This was the time! "Let's get them! No one look into their eyes! Ian, come on, let's break this machine!" He starts to try to rush them/rush into their country club, or what had been the country club! He finds it disappeared and goes down the funnel instead.

(I didn't describe the scene well enough - the VP and his buddies vanished into thin air when the world went clothy... You guys are alone with creepy Colin. What's worse...) You find yourselves in a thin knot of cloth on the lip of a colossal funnel, leading down to a weird knot far below. It's like the wall running around the entire grounds became the edge, and what was once a field of country clubness is instead a vast downward slope of cloth! There is no former clubhouse to go to! Colin- "Babies wanna kiss? Haha. Dig me out!" Ian- "Down, down... It's down there." Heather- "Oh christ it was all real! Oh god!"

He slides down the funnel, and goes to the middle! It's time. Also he ignores nazialienCollin. "Come on Ian, ignore Colin."

Ian- "Lucy... You don't have to. You can stay here with Heather, maybe strangle the plant..." Lucy- "No, uh, Heather?" Heather is glad for a way out of the creepy company and follows Beef down the slide. Colin- "I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave! Woo! Cottontails. Yum."

Beef is sliding semi-controlled down a huge slope! He reaches the bottom landing in a huge knot of cloth! Everyone else shows up soon, except for, thankfully, Colin.

He waits for them all to catch up, and then helps them all rise at the bottom, if they're able. He wants to ignore the incredibly ugly alienlet Colin. "Guys, we're going to be ok, let's go do this thing! Awesome. I think we'll all be ok!"

Ian- "I wonder what's under all this mess?" You guys sort through the madness until you find... GO TO THE RED LODGE THREAD

After Mi ran off, Mona collapsed with her back to a wall. She was completely exhausted and she knew she couldn't go through with an act of genuine violence. "She's right, Rudi. This is wrong. We need to save Megan, but I don't think I can. I just... I just... want to leave this town and never come back." She stuck the knife in the ground near the spot where Rudi should have been, surrendering it to nobody, anybody. "Let's just go. We can't stop this. We're not warriors. We're not heroes." Out of her backpack, she produced a bottle of whiskey. That's what the grown ups always do when there's trouble, right? She opened the bottle. She raised it to her mouth, but the smell made her retch a little and she threw the bottle away from her. She pounded her legs with her fists and cried.

Rudi took Mona's hands in her own and tried to stop the small act of self-harm. "That's not true. We aren't warriors, but humans are survivors." Her tone was grave - to Rudi, this was no light matter. "I don't want you to die. I don't want Megan to die. I don't want Leah to die. Christ, I don't want ANYONE to die anymore. Why are you giving up? It makes no sense. Don't give up, please!" She grit her teeth. "You're still on the list. Get in there. Let me cause a distraction. I'll run around naked with a Molotov cocktail if that’s what it takes."

Mona tried to muster up some more courage. She pulled the knife out of the ground. "Okay. If Jen is here, she's got to be inside somewhere. This place is crawling with yuppies, we'll never get in on the ground floor. Maybe there's a root cellar entrance somewhere?" She set her shoulders, squeezed Rudi's hand and marched off along the outer wall of the main structure, looking for a way in, wiping away the tears with her jacket sleeve as she went.

Rudi will suggest that they scale the stone walls. She can be a step stool for Mona, then try to follow. She was unfortunately serious about the distraction plan, and will give that a whirl, unless Mona objects. This might result in a Bad End for Rudi. She will use her remaining Halloween makeup to make stripes on her face before running off to be a nuisance.

Mona will object to the distraction plan, adamant about not going forward alone. It will take some effort, but they should be able to get over the wall. I'm guessing that the invasion and rioting at the main entrance should provide plenty of distraction to cover their ingress.

Mona will successfully convince Rudi to stay with her! Especially because wolves are strongest in packs.

"And, Rudi. Before I forget, I'm sorry I called Jen a bitch. I know better than that." They ran across the manicured lawn, keeping as low of a profile as they could, until they reached the side of the building. They pancaked themselves to the wall like cat burglars in a heist film. "If there's a basement entrance, it would be on the side or around back." Mona began skirting the building leading with the knife clutched in her hand.
