7All of a sudden, every human on the planet has gained the power to "assimilate" other people's traits by eating them, and grow larger, stronger.
8
9Basically a sort of Agar.io. But with people.
10
11You heard it on the news about two weeks ago. But now, the streets have become a wasteland of survival of the fittest, ruled by the law of eat or be eaten. "Giants" - massive, deformed humans which have consumed a massive amount of other people roam the outside, looking for easy pickings.
12
13You've locked yourself inside your apartment building's meter room - someone had left the keys on the door, which you now had tightly in your fist. Several panels which state how much water, electricity and gas has been consumed adorn the wall in front of you. Scattered around, are a lot of empty tomato sauce cans, and next to them, a backpack and a notebook.
14
15You wiped some tomato off the corner of your lips, and then put an ear to the door.
16
17Silence.
18
19You check your wrist watch with the faint moonlight that dropped in from a small window above: three o'clock in the morning.
20
21Alright. You had been in here long enough. You look at your notebook, and then tucked it into the backpack. It was time to move.
22
23What did your notebook have written in it?
24
25>A checklist of places to check for other "Non-eater survivors" like you in the city.
26>As the "eater" you want to become, it's an analysis of the giants you've seen so far, so that you can attempt to scavenge human flesh from them.
27>A map. You have a detailed route drawn out to reach the bike you have left in the garage and then out of the city, towards a gas station you know.

31-------------------------
32
33You decide to go check for other "non-eaters". People who want to continue living like "people". Heck, if everyone decided to be a non-eater, we wouldn't be in this problem in the first place.
34
35Near your house you had a sewer entry and an old cobblestone church - perhaps there you could find allies. You knew that eaters have the disadvantage of size - so places that they can't easily enter would be good places to start.
36
37As you sneaked through the streets, you could see a solitary, at least 10-feet tall ogre-man sleeping against the church's main door - the only entrance and exit. He had a kind of makeshift maul with him, and there where several indentation markings on the massive metal sheets which coated the church's door.
38
39There seemed to be heavy variance in the appearance an eater could take. This guy was obese, but you've seen others who were extremely muscular, or lanky and super tall. There was still stuff about the "eater" phenomenon which you didn't understand yet.
40
41The ogre being there meant that it was very likely that people were inside - but there was a problem: that ogre.
42
43The entrance to the sewer was further ahead. You also knew that the outside was never safe, no matter the time of day (early morning had the least risk though, because they tend to be asleep at that hour). Every minute had to count - you knew that you would likely not win a direct confrontation.
44
45>Decide to sneak off to the sewers for now.
46>Try to wake up the ogre and distract him towards you, so that you can then try to ditch him through the sewer to later enter the church when he gets bored of you, hopefully.
47>Try to sneak up and knock the church door, very carefully.

62We hate the eaters with a passion, so we try to kill it! Kill it with the big kitchen knife we have with us! Big doesn't mean it can't bleed out.

70You know that there are "exotic" things, but you're only familiar with the most common kind of threat, which is "being really big". 
71
72You know that it only affects people, from what you've seen on the news.
73
74-------------------------
75
76You decide to approach him. You had in mind to get close to him, having considered outright attempting to kill him and knocking on the door... as well as taking a bite. This... This was a chance?
77
78Man, but fuck. Becoming an eater?
79
80But if it's just a bite it doesn't count?
81
82You tiptoe up to him. He's huge. His skin is warty and rough, enveloping rolls of flab.
83
84Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
85
86It's gross. Taking a bite from a random stranger? But, fuck. This might be your only chance. Who knows how much stronger these things may get in the future.
87
88You lean your head with your eyes tightly shut and your gape open towards his forearm...
89
90"Jesus christ." you whisper to yourself, as you retract your head. You're really going to do this?
91
92You inhaled, tightened your fists, and glared at the forearm again. 
93
94"Fuck it" you exhaled, and plunged your teeth into his greasy skin.
95
96"HUUUUROAAGH!" the ogre immediately moaned, as you managed to scrape off a finger's worth of skin and flesh off him.
97
98You stepped back and looked at him. He was waking up with his brows and nostrils pushed together, but lethargically so. Annoyed: definitely, from the look on his face.
99
100Alright alright alright. Powers? You looked at your hands. Nothing. Aside from some odd warmth in your stomach, you really didn't feel much. Maybe you didn't take large enough of a bite?
101
102Well, at least now you knew that a small dosage like this doesn't do much.
103
104"....yyyYYYYOOU!" the ogre then yelled, starting to get on his two feet and reach for his weapon.
105
106>Run to the sewer and try to drop down in
107>Try to talk with the ogre.
108>Run back home
109>Knock on the church door and yell for help

138---
139
140You decide to run to the sewer - you dash as fast as you can towards it, as the mammoth of a human lurched towards you. You had just enough time to set your fingers properly into the lid and pull the sewer open before letting yourself drop in.
141
142You fall, half on your feet, half on your ass, and both are left sore from the impact, but you manage to quickly stand up again and hop a few steps away. You could hear the ogre reaching the sewer entrance and roaring down.
143
144"Y...You - what are you doing here!" you could hear a meager female voice then hiss out from deeper in the sewer "Who are you?!". You looked towards her, but the flashlight she was shining towards you blinded you. She seemed to notice, and turn it off. Shrouded in darkness, you really couldn't see how she looked like exactly, but she had herself wrapped in a large raincoat of a sort from what you could tell.
145
146"I'm... Blake" you admitted. "I got in here to run from an Eater. Who're you?" 
147
148You were left with silence.
149
150"W...What are you going to do now?" she then said, and you could hear that she retreated a few steps.
151
152>"I'm just going to wait here until that ogre leaves. I can keep guard of your... 'Door' until I leave, if that's alright. I won't be a bother."
153>"Hey, if there's space in here for another person, I'd love to stay."
154>Assault her and attempt to eat her.

160"I'm just going to wait here until that ogre leaves. I can keep guard of your... 'Door' until I leave, if that's alright. I won't be a bother." you mention.
161
162"A...Ah." she replied. "Well, o-okay."
163
164"So.... Are there more people here?" you asked.
165
166After a short pause, she turned on her flashlight again onto you. "Y-you're... Not from the church group, aren't you?"
167
168You shook your head.
169
170"No, there aren't more people here" she replied, with relief, approaching a bit. You could see that she had an androgynous look, was fairly tan and was somewhat lanky. "At least not in this section. People just go with the church people. B-but... If you aren't part of the church people, then... Then maybe you can stay here, you know?"
171
172"...But then why are [i]you[/i] here?" you asked.
173
174She turned the flashlight off.
175
176"I... I don't get along well with the Church. Before, yes, I did. Like, they were totally against Eaters and eating people - that's how thing are supposed to be, right?" she replied. "But now, now they want to make so that it's alright to eat anyone who attacks us, or anyone who isn't part of the church! But that would just make us as bad as the Eaters, no?!"
177
178She shook her head. "I can't accept that."
179
180"Do... Do you think the same?" she wondered. "Do you also believe that eating people is wrong, no matter who?"
181

183>"Yes"

193-------------------------
194
195"Yeah. Eating people is pretty wrong." you reply.
196
197"Aaaah!" she exhaled. "Such a relief!"
198
199She tapped her forehead a few times and chuckled to herself. "I-I... I had a good feeling from you, y'know?"
200
201"Heh. I'm glad." you replied.
202
203"The church people... Gah! Everyone are being just such...Lapdogs!" she further explained. "The Reverend just wants to please that..." she blinked and then cupped something large and invisible in front of her chest "...cow!"
204
205She looked at you with her brow furrowed. "But he's, like, a priest! He-he can't be thinking of those things! Where are his vows! Where... What's happening with everyone?!"
206
207You nodded. "Sounds... Difficult, really. I can see why you've chosen to, well. Defect."
208
209"Yeah. I'm Juana, by the way." she then said. "I... Don't believe I've said my name yet, heh."
210
211"It's alright" you shrugged. "By the way, Juana. Could I... Stay here? It will be easier for both of us to survive here, together."
212
213"A...At least for now, yeah." Juana replied. "I... I don't think that the church people will be too happy with me still, well, around here. And the sewers aren't exactly the most hygienic place to stay at."
214
215You nodded. "Gotcha".

233>Tell us about the MC. What did he use to do before the world collapsed? Any important skills and talents we should know of? What about his life, family, and friends?
234We're still in somewhat of an introductory phase with the character's motivations and all being settled (being an eater or not for example), so that is still to be determined. What is for sure though is that he has tended to be a bit of a recluse, because of what is in the OP.

242---*---
243
244You had attempted to take a short nap in the sewers with Juana. She had several raincoats, and had given you one to sleep in.
245
246There really wasn't anywhere comfortable in here. The air was thick with dampness and stench. Cardboard boxes she had brought down in here withered with the humidity and the walls were cold.
247
248"Not sleeping?" she asked.
249
250"Yeah."
251
252"Snack?" she then offered, showing a muesli bar.
253
254Man, it's been forever since you've had anything besides tomato sauce.
255
256"S-Sure." you stammer.
257
258---*---
259
260"So, how are the things in the Church?" you asked, after swallowing down some muesli "Like, how were they before, and how are they now?"
261
262"Before?" she muttered "Kinda alright. We stuck together, you know. Everyone wanted to be 'clean', everything was alright. We ate together, helped each other, the usual. Reverend Graham lead it all. He wasn't, uh, perfect - he did bit too much favoritism- but he was good enough."
263
264"Now?"
265
266"They're... More anxious than before. They want to survive, as anyone else, of course. But they're starting to do things wrong. There is a huge 'vengeance' kind of vibe going on - people want to 'get back' at the people who have done them wrong and get rid of the giants we've got around. Uhm, you know, like, killing them. Kinda like eye for an eye."
267
268She exhaled uneasily. "Here is where it gets difficult. They want to eat the people they've 'justly' killed."
269
270"Before it was totally taboo" she continued. "But now it's starting to seem more lax - and of course it is, people are eating in secret! Everyone wants to get an advantage over everyone else!"
271
272"They're starting to become a self-righteous gang of a sort." Juana then admitted. "They're the 'good guys', everyone else are the 'bad guys', which gives them the right to eat them for the 'greater good. They want to begin a sort of 'Crusade' of their own, and start fighting Eaters by being Eaters themselves.'"
273
274"...H-Have you ever eaten anyone, Blake?" she wondered.
275
276"Well, not-kinda-really." you mention, and cough into your fist. "So, Juana. Before, well... Everything breaking down, what did you do?"
277
278"I, uh, cleaned houses. And took care of old people." she said.
279
280"...Aren't you a bit young for that?" you replied, and looked her over. She looked to be in her teens. A rather tall, but otherwise, below-average looking teen.
281
282"Ah, hehe." she flustered, and looked aside with a smile as she grabbed her cheek. "I always get that, you know. Thank you, uhm, for the compliment. I'm, uh, actually old enough to work."
283
284"What did you do?" she asked.

303
304"Handyman" you replied. "I, uh, dropped out of college. Ever since I've been from job to job, working as a plumber, construction guy, and stuff."
305
306"Ah." Juana nodded. "Well, that's... nice."
307
308You shrugged. "I kind of wish I stayed at college, but right now, I'm reconsidering that. If I had never worked in what I had worked in, I would've never been able to survive the first weeks. I locked myself into the meter room, and I got the water I needed by tampering with the pipes. All I had to eat was tomato sauce though, heh. I couldn't find anything else."
309
310"Yeah I saw that look on your face when I gave you the muesli" she chuckled. "'Whoooa, muesli' you must've been thinking."
311
312You snorted a laugh into your fist, then looked back at her. "Well, yeah, heh. Thank you a tonne for them."
313
314She waved her hands in front of her. "Aah, no problem, no problem" she mentioned.
315
316---*---
317
318"You know, you're lucky to have at least some kind of 'skill'" she then brought up, as you wiped your mouth of raisin bits.
319
320"How so?" you replied.
321
322"The... Church people are trying to push some 'martyrdom' plan. Well. Not all of them. Actually very few. But it worries me."
323
324"Well, you're no longer going to be there with them, no? Why does it matter?"
325
326"Gah, well. You see, not everyone is well. Fortunate. How... How do I explain this... Like, people with... problems." she said, and pointed to her head. "Like... Slow... people."
327
328She continued "Some are... Well. Saying that they're just dead weight on the church and food and time, and they would be better off. Well. Eaten."
329
330She looked at you, with her eyes narrowed. "And they want to put it all... Fancy" she wove her hands in the air "Like, whoooa, you're a Martyr, you're amazing, good job."
331
332"It's horrible. All they really want to do is to eat them." she concluded. "It's just horrible."
333
334---*---
335
336"What should we do now?" she then asked you, as you stood up. You still had a good amount of time before the sun rose. "What... What are you going to do? Are you going to leave and come back? To where? Can I come with?"
337
338She seemed pretty anxious. She must really appreciate not being alone anymore.
339
340You peeked out of the sewer entrance, and you saw that the ogre was gone.
341
342>Approach the church door, and try to communicate with anyone inside.
343>Invite her to come with you back to your apartment building, which is cleaner than the sewers (less secure though).
344>Comb the area for Eaters.
345
346>Write in
347
348-------------------------
349
350You tucked your head back into the sewers.
351
352"Those bastards!" you start off. "Killing the retarded for power!"
353
354"No nonono, don't get me wrong Blake." she blurted. "They're not killing anyone yet. It's just what some have had in mind to do."
355
356"Ah." you replied. "Still. That's pretty shit to think about."
357
358"J-Just... Don't do anything too brash, okay?" she stammered.
359
360You exhaled, still not entirely convinced, and still decided to see what you can think of in regards to getting rid of the church people. You peeked back outside, to analyze the situation better.
361
362You saw that the walls where all stone. Real solid stuff. And the door seemed to be wooden with metal sheeting riveted onto it. What you figured out was that the weakest point were likely to be the hinges, which have no reinforcement at all. So pure pushing force might do the trick, although, you didn't know what kind of structural defense they had *behind* the door to perhaps prevent that.
363
364You then saw the door gently open, and two young men march out.
365
366"Anything else we should bring?" they asked.
367
368"Dumbbells." an sweet, high-pitched femenine voice said. Then, she stepped outside. She was in shorts and and a bikini top, with a towel hanging over her neck, which she used to wipe her forehead. Her looks where amazing - an incredibly beautiful face, flawless skin which was beaming with youth and health, and a huuuge pair of breasts. "Some, uh, proper gym clothes too maybe? But yeah, dumbbells."
369
370"Dumbbells, are you sure?" one of the guys replied. "Can't we like, improvise with buckets or something? We got buckets. Quite a lot, actually."
371
372"The guys would like a proper gym and stuff, really. You know, to train to fight. If you can bring it, it would do them a huge favor."
373
374The other man shrugged, and put his hand on the first one's shoulder. "Well, alright. C'mon, let's go. The sooner we can get back in and have some breakfast, the better. Chocolate Crispies, right? Man, I can't wait."
375
376>Sneak behind the two scouts and just spy on what they're going to do.
377>Approach the two scouts and attempt to talk with them.
378>Go to the church and knock the door, and try to talk to someone inside.
379>Go hunt for a large Eater to later use as a weapon against the Church.

384
385-------------------------
386
387You decide to go spy on them.
388
389---*---
390
391It was quite diffiult to keep track of them, as they were trying to be as stealthy as you were. However, from what they mentioned earlier and the direction they were going, you assumed they were going towards the gym.
392
393You arrived there, and several minutes later, they did, loaded with something in their backpacks.
394
395---*---
396
397"Alright, so we just need to get these dumbbells are we're all set." the taller one said.
398
399"Huh? What?" the shorter one said. "What about, you know?" 
400
401"Oh. Yeah." he replied. "Can it wait for later?"
402
403"Duuude? Hello? Am I going to get another chance? No? C'mon. It shouldn't be too hard, now can it?" the shorter one countered. "I also fucking suspect that you and some of the others are sneaking in bites as well, oho, see how you're looking away. Yeah. I knew it."
404
405"It was just a guy who was already dead, and, well...I did it for the good of the Church, you know? It's not like I'm going to use the power for my own gain..."
406
407"See? Seeeee? And what, you're going to leave me behind? Trying to make me look bad? Are you going to try to make me a Martyr, huh?"
408
409"Alright, man. Chill. We'll get you something, nobody will fig-"
410
411"Did you hear that?"
412
413"Yeah."
414
415They looked towards your direction, but they didn't seem to be able to pinpoint where you were. They started to do hand signs to each other, and then, they started to look around.
416
417They were inside the gym, and you were outside, looking through the cracks of a dusty, broken window. You had a head start if you wanted to try to run, but their conversation seemed to imply that one of them was an Eater, although a really "small" one.
418
419You were a moderately athletic guy as well, at par with their own level, you hoped.

427
428-------------------------
429
430You throw a rock in one direction, and then, you flee off in the opposite. You could hear them immediately chase off after the sound, as you managed to run past a corner, into a small alley. They wouldn't have line of sight for you here - but you needed to find somewhere to hide.
431
432There was a large metal trash bin in here, and you decided to leap in, and cover yourself with a couple greasy cardboard boxes which had been left within.
433
434Then, you waited.
435
436---*---
437
438"Here, I found one." you could then hear one of them say.
439
440"Is... Was she the person we heard before?"
441
442"I don't know man. But she's dead, and missing, well. The usual."
443
444"Ah. So... How does it work? I just.. .Eat?"
445
446"Yeah man. Shoulder? The bicep, here? You can get a good chunk there. Just never, never eat the brain."
447
448"Why?"
449
450"You go insane. Like, this... Eating thing? It kinda like 'adds' what you've eaten, plus a bit of like, general growth. Eat the brain, and it messes you up good. Well, if you eat a lot you get messed up anyway, because of the "general" thing, but just... a bit should be alright."
451
452"Huh. I see."
453
454"Yeah. I recommend just eating you know, the meat, muscle. Don't try to eat anything else, unless you know what you're doing."
455
456---*---
457
458After a while, they left. You could see that were was still a fresh human carcass left behind.

475
476You decide to take a bite. Quietly, you sneak up towards the corpse, and checked the area around it. Everything seemed to be alright.
477
478The corpse was nude, and missing its eyelids, lips, breasts, and a large section of its knees, as if i has been cut out cleanly with a knife. A large amount of her arms and thighs seem to have been bitten off, leaving only mostly bone behind.
479
480You pinch at her calves, and started to chew off parts of it, but progress was slow. You opted to tear them off instead, and then, you brought them with you to the alley you had hidden in earlier.
481
482The meat was still warm and it tasted like undercooked veal. Slowly, you could feel that warmth again. You felt more vital, more energetic, which gave you strength to eat that calve entirely, leaving only her foot and bone left.
483
484Then, you grew. Slowly, and gradually, you could feel that warmth. Then, your veins started to pop on your skin, and you could feel your blood pumping quicker, your heartbeat accelerate and your skin feel tighter as it as filled from the inside.
485
486Then, it all stopped.
487
488You looked at your hands, and then your gaze went to your forearms. They were a bit thicker. More muscular (You were in rather good shape before though, as a former regular basketball player). You kneaded a finger into it, and it felt more firm, stronger. The rest of you - your biceps, chest, etc seemed to have been boosted as well, just a bit.
489
490You blinked in realization, and checked your calves. They had also grown, a bit more than the rest of you, but nothing really noteworthy.
491
492---*---
493Current "stats": (5 is average human, 10 is peak human condition. You start as 6 because of the earlier decision.)
494Overall physique: 6 -> Overall physique: 6.5
495More stats exist, but you haven't perceived any changes aside from the ones mentioned, a general, overall "boost".
496---*---
497
498You still had that other calve, but you felt a bit full at the moment. You tucked it into your backpack, and then, went to the gym.
499
500Inside, there wasn't much. It seemed to have been already looted for the most part, but there were lockers here, and heavy gym equipment like treadmills and bench presses which haven't been moved yet. You checked inside the lockers thoroughly, and managed to find a pair of jump ropes which you promptly stowed away, and a mop with a metal bar. You removed the mop's lower mopping piece, kept it, and walked around with the staff as a weapon for now.
501
502Roll 1d10 three times. If anyone rolls a 1, there is an encounter in the outside.
503>Return to the sewers... and
504-offer Juana the calve. Try to convince her to become a minor eater.
505-Eat the calve yourself, before entering
506>Go to the Church and try to talk with the people there.
507>Use the calve as bait to attract an Eater, an then observe it, and if you have the chance, attempt to kill it.

510
511-------------------------
512
513You attempt to return to the sewer, but right then, you notice a large gang of Eaters come towards you, crossing a corner. They were rather small, standing at about 7-8 feet tall each, and they seemed fairly human, although nearly all of them were very muscular, and had some obvious deformity, such as disproportionally large arms or legs.
514
515"We got outselves another lil' one here, bawss" a lanky one of them chuckled, as he pointed towards you. You could see that one of them, a hulk-shaped man, was carrying the two Church-men you had found earlier, bloody and with twisted limbs. They were likely dead.
516
517"Oho." a red-haired guy said, and looked at you. "This guy isn't from the Church, guys. I haven't seem *him* before."
518
519You look side to side. You had a slim chance to get away if you tried to. Slim, but still possible, you believed. You hoped they wouldn't be able to get into the sewer easily.
520
521"Let's just kill him too, bawss" the lanky one chuckled. "The more, the merrier."
522
523"Yes, but... He seems to be an Eater too. Look, he's just eaten from that corpse, hasn't he? He isn't like the Church people, those damn puritans. He could be like us. You took me in, right? Why couldn't we take him in too?"
524
525"Yeah but bawss." the lanky one said. "He could be great to eat too you know. By our side or in our bellies, what difference does it make?"
526
527"Hrm..."

562
563You offer them the half-leg.
564
565"Oi." you said, with some attitude, trying to imitate their style of things. "You guys want this? Pretty good meat, I wouldn't want it to go to waste."
566
567The other men looked at each other and chuckled, however the red-haired guy remained stoic, and approached you.
568
569"I'm glad that you know to appreciate the [i]value[/i] of human meat." he said, approaching you solemnly. "Or you're simply mocking us."
570
571The others soon went silent.
572
573"Kid, you seem like someone worthwhile." he then added, and rose his sleeves. "Want to join us?"
574
575"...y-Yeah, of course!" you stammered.
576
577"Good."
578
579"Hey, Thirteen, you're going to-?" one of the gangmembers mentioned.
580
581"Yes. If he's good, we keep him. If not, we eat him. Sounds fair, doesn't it?" the redhead replied.
582
583"Well, yeah. Alright."
584
585"Good."
586
587You could then see Thirteen pat his back with a fist repeatedly, then, he shivered, and put himself into what you could only identify as a sort of karate stance in front of you.
588
589"Ready?" he then said, as he exhaled slowly, and seemed to concentrate.
590
591"Ten!" he exclaimed, and with a movement at blinding speed, seemed to disappear, and then reappear in front of you.
592
593You noticed at for a moment, his eyes took fractions of a second to dart around, until they focused back on you.
594
595"Shi - Ba!" he exclaimed, and in a flash, you felt a jab in your stomach, causing you to cough out a mouthful of blood, and just as quickly, he disappeared again, to return back to where he was standing before. He blinked and looked around again, to then look at you.
596
597You held your abdomen from the sudden pain, and glanced at him. You could feel a sort of indentation in your flesh from his punch - he was really strong.
598
599"It's over." he said, and started to look at the area behind you, as he put himself into that karate stance again.
600
601"Ten, ten ten!"
602
603>Approach him and try to use your staff's range to hit him safely.
604>Flee in the Gym
605>Hold your ground, and wait for him to approach you again, and when he is in range, strike with your weapon
606>Attempt to defend yourself from his strikes with your staff, and if needed, your forearms.
607
608>Write in
609
610-------------------------
611
612You held your ground, and waited for him to make his move.
613
614He disappeared again, and then, you felt pushed backwards - it was Thirteen, right in your face, charging you towards the wall.
615
616He had hit you, yes, but you had mentally prepared for this, and in a twitch reaction, kicked him aside, sending him stumbling to aside as you landed on the ground and slid. You looked towards him as you achingly stood up again. He was looking around, apparently disoriented, and then looked back at you.
617
618"Oh, you're good." he said, rotating the shoulder you had hit as he held it. He put himself into a stance again. "Good enough, though?"
619
620You could see him focus again.
621
622"Ten-shi-ba!, Ten-shi-ba!" he recited in a ritual-like manner.
623
624You swallowed. You knew another assault was going to come. How would you counter it?
625
626
627>Rush up to him and try to slam him with the staff before he does his thing again.
628>Run and hide behind the nearest obstacle
629>Whack the air in front of you repeatedly
630>Drop and lay flat on the ground
631
632>Write in
633
634-------------------------
635
636You immediately drop to the ground, and then, you could feel the air whiff above you, with Thirteen punching the area above you, and then disappearing just as quickly. You didn't have time to kick him, but then, he did the exact same maneuver again.
637
638Right then, you kicked his shins, and he lost balance, but then, he still flashed back again, but he ended up sliding on the ground and tumbling back instead of recovering his stance. You assumed he would be disoriented again, and you used that opportunity to stand up before he did, and hit him with the staff into his chest.
639
640He just sat there, looking up at you.
641
642"That's good enough." he chuckled. "No need to continue."
643
644He stood up, and offered a handshake. "You're pretty skilled." he said "I want to welcome you to the Stadium Gang."
645
646You looked back at him, and shook his hand. "Glad to... Join" you replied, still a bit unsure about what would be the best thing to do right now. But you won, didn't you?
647
648He laughed loudly and patted your back energetically. "C'mon, man! You're part of us now."
649
650You attempted to laugh as well along him, and you nodded. "Thank you, Thirteen, I appreciate it."
651
652"No problem, man!"
653
654---*---
655
656You were lead to the city's Stadium. The building was practically a large, circular wall, and you could see that a couple rouge, monstrous, Eaters where around, but they didn't attack the gang when they went towards the doors. Instead, they retreated off.
657
658"I've never seen an Eater do that." you told Thirteen.
659
660"Yeah, they're dumb fucker, but not *that* dumb." he chuckled. "At least not yet. Just wait until they're bigger."
661
662---*---
663
664The inside of the Stadium seemed to be a small village in itself. Different parts of the area were populated by small groups, some had even set up campfires. Most of them were more deformed and larger than Thirteen's gang.
665
666"You've taken a while to return, Thirteen" a huge, middle-aged man in a wheelchair mentioned, as he approached the group. "Did you get the supplies?"
667
668(cont)
669
670-------------------------
671
672"Uh...Not really, Graham." he said. "But I got this guy here. He' a champ, he nearly beat me, you know?"
673
674"Your abilities aren't exactly the best for direct...brawling." Graham said. "Your adrenal gland can only last for so long, and its patterns in combat are predictable. I don't know if your 'test' is really worth taking seriously."
675
676"Dude, this guy is good, I'm telling you."
677
678"Are you sure you're not doing this just to expand your own... How to call it... Band of lackeys?"
679
680"Graham, leave me alone, alright? I know what I'm doing." Thirteen protested.
681
682"I'll leave him to you, then." he replied. "Don't make him a bother for the rest of us."
683
684---*---
685
686You were then lead into a section of the Stadium, which had a bunch of supplies and junk untidily in a corner.
687
688"This is our spot" Thirteen explained. "We got to go get those supplies. Uh... Wait here. We'll figure out what to do with you later. Also, the outside is fucking surrounded by Eaters, so don't go out alone."
689
690He then pointed to a couple people from other groups, and pointed at his eyes, and then at you. The other people nodded, or thumbs upped.
691
692---*---
693
694Thirteen soon left, and you were left alone that Stadium area.
695
696Until he returns
697>Try to look around for something to loot
698>Tidy up the junk and supplies here for him
699>Approach another group and try to talk to them.
700>Go talk to Graham, and ask what's up with this place.

705
706-------------------------
707
708You decided to go check on other groups. You noticed that while they were all huge and deformed, there seemed to be a kind of pattern. People weren't as monstrous as other Eaters of similar size in the outside. Some where eating humans... or other eaters, and sharing the meal, and they seemed to share certain slices with certain people. They hardly wasted anything, and cut after cut, they only left behind some bone, certain guts, and the brain.
709
710You also noticed that the distribution was sorted out according to the group. Some people had a lot of liver, some others more muscle tissue, and others, just a bit of everything. Overall though, people seemed to often get servings of their own gender, and men seemed to prefer more servings of certain parts of the body such as arm and torso tissue, and women ate breast and thigh. That would explain how they still seemed "human", although largely exaggerated in their own way, especially women, who seemed to be a bit more picky about what they ate.
711
712You blinked and looked around at the rest in realization. They weren't eating pointlessly. They knew what and why they were eating, and the consequences it would have, as if they were trying to control exactly how they would devolve into monstrosities. 
713
714You decided to approach a group of very tall and ridiculously proportioned women, who seemed occupied with slicing up people at some tables in the field and looked the least intimidating of the groups. You assumed they were the "kitchen" of a sort, or the butchery. 
715
716"Ah, you're the new lad, yeah?" a tall, rather obese gray-haired woman said in a croaky voice, as she butchered a young girl into smaller bits with a kitchen knife. The younger girls looked at you from afar, and gossiped silently amongst themselves.
717
718"Yeah" you replied, looking up to her. "Thirteen brought me."
719
720"Ah, that's nice." she chuckled. "Thirteen is always so kind to bring new people to the Stadium."
721
722She slammed the knife down and beheaded the girl. "You'll likely need to eat some more, dear, if you're going to get anywhere around here." she chuckled "You're so small!"
723
724(cont)
725
726-------------------------
727
728"Well, yeah, uh. Hunting has been tough" you lied.
729
730"Yeah, that's what hunting alone gives you" she replied "But now, with us, you'll be better in no time."
731
732"Yeah" you said, as you scratched your back and looked aside. "I hope."
733
734She then look around, and then, flicked the butchered girl's arm onto the grass.
735
736"Oh, could you pick that up, dear?" she said, as she pointed to the arm, and then to her mouth, and then to you.
737
738"Aaah... sure." you replied, and took the arm. You looked around and then tucked it into your backpack, hopefully without anyone watching. She thumbs upped at you.
739
740"Thank you dear." she replied, and continued her work. "C'mon, off you go. I'm sure you've got much to do now. Toodles!"
741
742"Ah, yes. Toodles" you said, and walked off.
743
744You believed you still had some time before Thirteen arrived, as this small interaction just lasted for a bit, and he hasn't come back yet.
745
746>Eat the arm you've been given in private
747>Tidy up the junk and supplies at Thirteen's area.
748>Try to look around for something to loot.
749>Train (pushups, run, etc). It's a Stadium after all.
750>Go talk to the group of largest Eaters here.

760-------------------------
761
762You decide to approach the kitchen group person to try learn more about the careful evolution. The woman who offered you the "food" before looked at you with raised eyebrows.
763
764"Why are you here again?" she hissed. "I'm... not going to give you any more."
765
766"I'd like to learn more about what you guys eat, and why." you asked, and looked aside, as you scratched the side of your head. "Maybe you could tell me?"
767
768"I've... got work to do." she replied. "Go ask Chugg-... I mean Chelsea. Everyone calls her Chugger though. Like that she can be useful for once. All she does is, well. Fill that mouth of hers."
769
770She gestured towards a particularly enormous Eater girl. She was far from being the tallest, but her body shape was more exaggerated than the others by a very generous margin.
771
772---*---
773
774You walked up to her, and rose a hand.
775
776"Hello." you greeted. "What's up?"
777
778The young girl with pigtails looked up to you. She had a pile of bloody guts and other chopped-up meat you really couldn't identify, which she stuffed into a blender connected to a small portable generator, and then let the little machine whirl loudly.
779
780"Did Master Graham send you?" she wondered, with a sweet, although slightly dopey voice, and then chugged down the jar she had just blended.
781
782"No...?" you said. "She did."
783
784"Ah. Why?" she asked, and tilted her head.
785
786"Maybe you could tell me how the eating works." you said. "Like, why do you eat certain things and all. There seems to be a diet kind of thing going on."
787
788"Graham knows." she replied "He's like... A doctor."
789
790"What are you eating?" you asked Chugger.
791
792"T-Things." she stammered.
793
794"Ah." you said. You figured that if she liked to eat so much, perhaps she would like that arm you had been given. You pulled it out.
795
796"Would you like a bit? Just a bite, I'd like to keep this for later. But hey, you're cool."
797
798She shook her head.
799
800"I.. only eat what Graham tells me to." she said. "T-thank you though. Very kind of you."
801
802"Ah, oh well." you shrugged. "About that - why is eating brains so bad? Do you know?"
803
804"Yeah, Graham explains it all the time." she said. She then put on a faux deep accent, and shook her finger in front of her "Don't eat brains! It messes you up!"
805
806"Yes, but why, exactly?"
807
808(cont)
809
810-------------------------
811
812"Something to do with overlapping." she said "Your brain is like a... Network? A highway? Imagine adding more roads to that. It's not like, muscle, where you just add more fibers and it's K."
813
814You blinked. She wasn't so air-headed after all. Maybe it was just her demeanor.
815
816"So like, you have all of these roads" she continued "You have your unique set of roads, and its all nice and balanced, and you add more at random, it's not good! Some... Sometimes you can do it though"
817
818"Sometimes like when?" you asked
819
820"When you're related, like by blood, there's a lot less risk. Still dangerous though, like, when you eat and grow, it's hard to uh, do delicate, fine-tuning growth. Coarse growth is easy, but small and delicate... Is hard." she explained. "Lots of neurons is very delicate"
821
822"Huh. How did Graham get to know all of this Eater stuff?"
823
824"...He's done a lot of ...experiments." she admitted. "But Graham stopped trying the brain get-super-smart thing a while ago."
825
826"So... What route is he trying now?"
827
828"I don't know." she says. "But he says he has a plan for me. But I have to do as he says, and I get to stay here, safe. I don't have to go hunt or fetch supplies. All I have to do is eat. He gets very happy when I eat everything he tells me to."
829
830"I-if you figure out what.. What he wants to do with me, please tell me." she then said, in a fainter voice. "He... he's always looking. He protects everyone, he is a good man, newbie, he is a good man. But I want to *know*".
831
832You nodded. "I'm not going to assure you anything, but I'll see what I can do."
833
834---*---
835
836Thirteen returned, and a couple of his guys went and pushed shopping carts filled with hardware, clothing, and canned food into the Stadium, greeted Graham, and then continued off deeper into the building.
837
838"Yo, Newbie." Thirteen called out, and then gestured to you, and then to the floor.
839
840You quickly ran up to him.
841
842"What's up?" you asked.
843
844"Why were you talking to Chugger?" he asked. "Do you have any business with Graham?"
845
846"Ah, no, I was just, you know. Meeting people, trying to learn a bit."
847
848His eyes narrowed. "Well, alright. Yeah, it's... Actually good for you to learn who is who. But learn this well: you're in our group, alright? We're a squad, a family. Yeah? That's important. If anything goes wrong, I'll me - *we* will be the ones to cover your back."
849
850You nodded.
851
852"I expect the same from you for us." he concluded. "Don't get too... involved with Graham."
853
854You nodded again.
855
856---*---
857
858Thirteen's squad arrived to the Kitchen group, and then returned back to their places, and started to eat regular food. Canned beans, corn, the works. They handed you a can of asparagus, and invited you to join them. Thirteen seemed to be in a good mood, enjoying the food enthusiastically.
859
860>Propose to share the human meat you had (half a leg and the arm) with the rest.
861>Ask more about Graham and Chugger, despite Thirteen seeming to not like the topic.
862>Ask about the speed ability he used earlier.
863
864>Write in
865
866-------------------------
867
868You decide to share the meat.
869
870"Hey, guys." you said, as you pulled the arms and leg out. "I got some human meat here. I think I've had enough myself for today, how about you guys have some?"
871
872"Ohoooo, son!" one of them called out. "That's pretty chill of you, y'know?" he then looked at Thirteen. "I dunno if that's gonna be 'nuff for all of us. Whadda say, Thirt'? We give it to the trainees or something?"
873
874Thirteen nodded. "Yeah, let's do that."
875
876---*---
877
878Your food got shared around, and a couple of the smaller guys started eating it, and thanked you as they did.
879
880"Why aren't you guys eating human meat though?" you asked. "They have quite a lot there, no?"
881
882"We're not exactly the, uh. Most dominant group." Thirteen explained. "We don't get much of a cut. Plus, we actually have to eat regular food now and then, you know. For now, this will have to do."
883
884You nodded.
885
886"What about that speed skill of yours?" you asked. "It's pretty damn cool."
887
888"Adrenaline. To create a burst of hysterical strength." he recited, as if he had explained this several times before. "I'm not the only guy doing it, some others are too. I'm just the best at it."
889
890"Huh. And that... Shi, ban, thing. What were those?"
891
892"Katas." he said. "It's hard to think when you're in the... Rush. You're super hyped up, you can't think, and it's all a blur. So you have to go in like a sort of autopilot if you want to do anything beyond simple."
893
894"Could... I, learn it?" you wondered.
895
896"If you manage to eat what you're supposed to yeah. But everyone gets their cut, if you're not good enough, I doubt they'll let you have any besides the more unpopular cuts."
897
898"Catch something good, prove that you're great, and you'll get the better stuff." he then added. "Don't try to get your own catches and then not share, though. Nobody likes someone who's stingy like that."
899
900He then looked at the guys who were eating the meat you had given them "It seems like you're the opposite though." he chuckled. "You're a good guy."

907
908The eating ended, and everyone seemed to start to attend their own things. Some went to chat with people, others seemed to work on barricading certain Stadium doors, and others went outside.
909
910Juana was still out there, as well as all of the potential Church victims. You had managed to keep up your act of being a full-fledged Eater until now, but you still disliked the idea of embracing it. It wasn't sustainable after all - what would happen when there were no regular people left? Eaters would then eat smaller eaters? What would happen then? The same, until everyone is dead?
911
912You had to figure out something. Chugger also seemed to be an issue, as well as whatever Graham was planning to do. The folk here seemed to be more at ease with you as well, and the watchers Thirteen had assigned to you seemed to be more at ease. They trusted you a bit now.
913
914>Attempt to escape.
915>Try to loot the place.
916>Go talk to Graham, and figure out his stance with you. Ask him (write in) questions.
917>Propose if you can go hunting and bring human flesh for everyone, and prove your worth.
918
919>Write in.
920
921-------------------------
922
923You decide to propose to go hunting.
924
925"Hey, Thirteen, can I go hunting?" you asked "I want to prove that I can get that catch."
926
927"Interested in the good cuts, now aren't you?" he chuckled. "Alright, kid. Here's how it goes down. Come with me."
928
929---*---
930
931You were lead to a section of the Stadium, where a huge Eater, chained to the walls, was working with contraptions. They looked like traps and weapons, but most of them were too large for you to carry or wield.
932
933"Mary!" Thirteen called out. "This guy, he's gonna go hunting."
934
935"What was your name, kid?" he whispered to you.
936
937"Blake."
938
939"Blake, yeah, he's gonna go." Thirteen added.
940
941"Gooo... Huuunting..." the Giant eater muttered. "Only... If... Bring... me... Huma-"
942
943"Nobody's falling for that, Mary." Thirteen said. "Graham said only rice and beans for you until you behave, and even then, you're going to upgrade from that to rice, beans AND desert."
944
945The giant grumbled.
946
947"C'mon, write him down, and lend him something good." Thirteen commanded.
948
949"So... Small..." Mary pointed out.
950
951"Yeah, we know." Thirteen replied. "Got anything his size? Traps, anything?"
952
953Mary chuckled. "For hunting... What?... Babies?...Hoooh hooh hoooh...."
954
955"Comedy gold, Mary" Thirteen underlined. "Now, what can you give us?"
956
957---*---
958
959The equipment was heavy, and considering that you were going to hunt to prove your worth, you were going to go alone, but supervised. You figured you had enough strength to carry *one* of their "smaller" tools. Each of them had different advantages.
960
961>Bear trap: A massive metal jaw that would clam shut when the middle button was pressed. Has to be re-armed once sprung, but you don't have enough strength to do so. Already armed.
962>Crossbow and bolts. A modified hunting bow to be able to be equipped with larger, heavy bolts. Hard to aim with because of the weight.
963>Spiked and reinforced baseball bat. A simple, mace-like weapon.
964>Reinforced Riot Shield. A worn-out police tool which has been granted patches of metal sheets to fix it.
965>Take nothing, go with your staff alone.
966
967>Write in.
968
969-------------------------
970
971You decide to go with the crossbow. You hoisted the heavy thing onto your back by it strap, and marched out.
972
973---*---
974
975Mary had apparently assigned to you one of Graham's men to supervise you. It was a stoic, lanky man, whose only words to you was "Just do it, and do it quick."
976
977You wandered outside. You had been told before that this area was especially full with Eaters, so you figured that finding one should be relatively easy. With lankyman following behind you, sneaking around much more loosely and deliberately than you, you left yourself hidden inside a nearby fast food restaurant.
978
979You could see that there were two Eaters, each of them in different alleys, one of them was huge, pale and fleshy. His movements were slow, but he was much larger than the other one you've seen. He had a long tongue as well. The other was reddish, smaller, and moved in occasional, but sudden jumps. It was eyeless too.
980
981You feared having to face both of them at the same time, if you were already at a disadvantage in 1v1, a 2v1 could be certain death.
982
983You remained in your hiding spot, and thought thoroughly.
984
985Roll 1d100, best of first three.
986
987Hunt who?
988>The pale one
989>The red one
990
991Hunt how?
992>Aim from your current position, and try to shoot a bolt into them. After that, quickly reload, and try to shoot another.
993>Try to get nearer, and find a closer shooting spot, one that the second Eater wouldn't be able to see. Then from there, shoot.
994>Shoot something near you and the eater, but not directly at them, to bait it to come closer. Then, when you have a better shot, shoot to kill.
995
996>Write in.
997
998-omitted one small post.
999
1000-------------------------
1001
1002You decide to go for the red one. You prepared a bolt, and shot it towards it, producing a moderately loud 'fffwomp', but you missed. Quickly, you prepared a second shot, but she had turned towards you, and was starting to make several leaps in sequence to reach you. You had just enough time to load another shot and fire at point blank, lodging a bolt into its shoulder.
1003
1004It leaned back in pain, but it was right there, right in front of you. You had moments to react, to do something, before having to engage in close quarters with her.
1005
1006You also noticed that her missing eyes were product of a scar, not "natural" development. They had been torn out, and then the sockets had healed.
1007
1008>Drop everything and flee
1009>Take the crossbow and load another shot, and attempt to fire it into it.
1010>Jam your staff into it, right there.
1011
1012>Write in
1013
1014-------------------------
1015
1016Right there, you JAM the staff into its head, causing the metal tube to pierce into its scarred eye sockets, and embed itself into its skull with the beast exhaling a quickly weakening yell. Blood splashed out of the other end, and you repositioned your grip on it to then thrust it deeper.
1017
1018Then, the Eater dropped to the ground. You had made it! Victory! It was dead!
1019
1020Just in case, you stabbed it again in the skull. Its not like the brain is going to be eaten or anything anyway.
1021
1022---*---
1023
1024With a remarkable amount of strength, your lanky companion carried the entire Eater back home, with you helping as well.
1025
1026It was then brought into field, near the Kitchen area. Everyone kept on working, but they peered with curiosity at what was going on.
1027
1028The lanky guy then spoke to Graham, who overviewed from his position in the upper rows of seats. 
1029
1030"The kid's just lucky." he supervisor said. "But there is some talent in there to back it up."
1031
1032Graham looked at you. Thirteen was present as well, with his arms crossed beside you, but he didn't look at Graham, instead he opted to look at the others with pride.
1033
1034"Tell Mary to assign him Thirteen's group rations." he said. "Carry on, everyone, don't get distracted."
1035
1036Thirteen patted you on the back, and held out a fist at his hip for you. You fistbumped in return, and he enthusiastically punched your fist back as he laughed.
1037
1038"Yeah!!" he exclaimed. "You did it, man!"
1039
1040ou noticed that Graham had left the upper seats, and was being carried down to the lower floor, where he then rolled the wheels to approach your catch. He then look the Eater's hand, and started to observe it closely, and started to check the rest of it as well..
1041
1042"It's female, so take out the usual. Then let him keep 10% of it of his choice." he noted, and then with a scalpel, started to take out small samples. "Keep the bone too, don't serve it" he then mentioned. "Polycythemia, excessive blood production. Might be useful."
1043
1044---*---
1045
1046All of the female-specific organs (or what remained of them) where extracted, as well as the brain, and certain glands you couldn't identify. You had the corpse in front of you, laid out, and the lady behind it with the knife was waiting.
1047
1048"So what's it gonna be?" she asked. "This cut here is delicious" she then pointed out, outlining the inner thigh with the knife. "Or maybe you'd like some heart? Uh, what was that Thirteen liked... This thing over here? Above the kidney. Adroonal gland? Oh. Ribs are really nice too."
1049
1050>Ask for Adrenal gland.
1051>Try to sneak a piece of bone.
1052>General good meat.
1053>Other? Write in.
1054
1055Then? (Write-in encouraged). You still had some time before nightfall.
1056
1057>Go talk to Mary (Ask for weapons to train with? Talk to her about her life?)
1058>Go talk to Chugger (Ask about what more she knows about Graham from being with him? Ask about why she's special?)
1059>Go talk to Thirteen (Train? Ask about hunting?)
1060>Go talk to Graham (Ask about the history of this gang? Ask about his investigation?)
1061
1062>Write in.

1069
1070"The Adrenal gland" you said, as you pointed to its area. "The heart too, and... If there's leftovers of the eyes, that too."
1071
1072"Gotcha. Right up!" the woman cheerily announced, and stared to expertly slice the monster's guts, and extracted those pieces for you. She served it to you on a plastic plate as well.
1073
1074You looked at the blood-washed, rubbery pieces of flesh, and took a deep breath.
1075
1076---*---
1077
1078General Physique: 6.5 -> 7
1079Adrenal Gland: 0 -> Adrenal Gland: 2
1080
1081---*---
1082
1083That same feeling permeated you again. But you remained rather calm, and simply braced yourself as the changes took place. You could feel your overall self grow, slightly, as well as your heart and something in your back swell. This time it felt less intimidating, as you already expected where to feel changes, and more or less how they would be. 
1084
1085It was still very uncomfortable though. The feeling of slowly turning into a monster of a kind wasn't pleasant to think about, however, the thought of being unable to fight for your survival in this horrid world felt even worse.
1086
1087--*---
1088
1089After eating, you went to Thirteen. He sitting in one of the stadium's chairs, sewing some clothing which had been partially torn apart.
1090
1091"Hey." you greeted, and sat beside him. "How did that happen? A fight?"
1092
1093"Yeah" he replied, peering up to you for a moment, but then back to the clothing. "Some Eater, you know. the usual."
1094
1095You nodded. "Hey, uh. I was wondering if you could teach me some of that speed stuff."
1096
1097His eyes went to you with a raised eyebrow.
1098
1099"At least the basics." you added in, leaning your head.
1100
1101Thirteen inhaled, and then sighed out heavily, and looked at you. "I'm a very busy guy, you know." he started off. "But if you want to control it, the first thing you've got to do i-"
1102
1103He interrupted himself by suddenly punching out a fist, and then holding it in front of your face. You jolted up in surprise.
1104
1105"You felt that rush, right now, didn't you?" he said. "That's your instinct. That's the adrenaline pumping."
1106
1107He lowered his fist. "That's also the problem. You see, you can normally only get the result unconsciously. You can't deliberately put yourself into that hype mode."
1108
1109"How do you do it, then?" you asked.
1110
1111"I pat those glands, kinda get them flowing." he said. You remembered that before your combat, he actually did hammer his back with his fists. "But it's really all subjective. I focus, I get into my zone, and I make it happen. It's hard to explain."
1112
1113"But you know like when you eat?" he added in "That warmth? That... Feeling? Focus on that, like if it was a trail, and catch onto your kidneys. Well, not really your kidneys. Your adrenal glands. Concentrate on them, and try to make yourself anxious. Try to make time go slower around you."
1114
1115"I'm a really bad teacher." he chuckled. "I hope it helps you out, though."
1116
1117You shrugged. "Yeah. I hope so too."
1118
1119At least now you had some kind of instruction or guide to go off of to practice that ability.
1120
1121(cont)
1122
1123-------------------------
1124
1125---*---
1126
1127It was time to sleep, and one of Thirteen's lackeys gave you a spare blanket which you wrapped around yourself. 
1128
1129---*---
1130
1131It was morning, and everyone's daily routine seemed to start up again. You stretched and stood up. Thirteen was eating a bun of bread - breakfast and had a large bag with more, and was handing them out to the group.
1132
1133You ate the bun solemnly. You fantasized for a bit how it would be to have a gang of your own, to understand more about everything that was going on. Some kind of place you could call home, some kind of stability. Not having to fight to survive anymore.
1134
1135But for now, you had to live pragmatically. You could never set something up like that if you were killed by an Eater before then. Of course, being powerful was amazing, and useful to reach that purposes, but you didn't want to fight forever. You wanted to reach a conclusion, and a good one, but that seemed very far away right now. But not entirely out of reach. People like Juana existed, that gave you hope, hope to endure.
1136
1137---*---
1138
1139"Graham wants to assault the Church group" you heard Thirteen inform regretfully, his fist clenched tightly. "Biggest amount of easily available meat in the neighborhood."
1140
1141"Yeah, but... Isn't that, like, your old home, man?" one of his men replied.
1142
1143"It is." he said. "And since I'm the one who knows them best, he wants me to be his lieutenant for the operation."
1144
1145"He's doing it to fuck with you, amigo" another guy replied. "Totally doing it to fuck with you."
1146
1147"Yeah" he said. "I don't like Graham, and I don't like the Church people even more. But I don't want any harm to come to them, you know? They're still like. Fucking family or something."
1148
1149"What do we do, man?"
1150
1151"I don't know" Thirteen said. "But we have to give Church scouting reports back to Graham anyway, or something. Some kind of result."
1152
1153---*---
1154
1155Thirteen, after some discussion with the rest, left to sit alone in the higher part of the Stadium.
1156
1157>Mention that you know someone called Juana, and that you'd like to have her join the group, or at least, find her.
1158>Tell him that you'd like to leave the Stadium, and go to the Church. You weren't as suspicious-looking as the rest, and you could warn them of Graham's plans.
1159>Go to Graham, and tell him what you know, especially regarding their change in policies which may make them a more powerful foe than he initially expects.
1160
1161>Write in
1162
1163-------------------------
1164
1165You decide to go tell Graham what you knew.
1166
1167You approached the disproportionate man in the wheelchair, and greeted him.
1168
1169"Ah. Blake, yes?" he replied. "What brings you here?"
1170
1171"I've got information about the Church people" you said. "I've met a girl called Juana, hidden in the sewers. She told me quite a bit."
1172
1173He rose an eyebrow.
1174
1175"Oh really now?" he said, leaning towards you with a smile an a raised eyebrow. "Please, tell me more."
1176
1177"Well, they're changing policies. They're no longer, well. Puritans. They've been considering eating the... Less fortunate. Eating people who, have, well. Disabilities."
1178
1179He went stiff. Then he looked at you. "This... Juana told you this, right?" he said.
1180
1181"Yes." you replied.
1182
1183"I'm grateful that you've told me this." he said. "That's actually a very, very crucial detail."
1184
1185He put a hand on your shoulder. "You've... Yo- If what you're saying is true, you've possibly saved a lot of our people's lives." he said. "I'll certainly look into it, thank you."
1186
1187"Anything more you'd like to bring up?" he then tagged on. "Unless... You have any questions of your own, of course. I consider myself quite the expert in a lot of topics - I'm sure I can help a neophyte like you get the hang of things. I've seen that you're following... Thirteen's steps. He might not be the best, howdoIputthis.... Role model, but his abilities are certainly useful, no doubt."

1203-------------------------
1204
1205You decide to ask about the brain.
1206
1207"How does the brain work, exactly. In regards to the Eater phenomenon." you asked.
1208
1209He chuckled. "You already know, of course, that eating it causes you a lot of mental harm. What is it then that you're interested in?"
1210
1211"What happens when you eat too many people?" you asked. "I know that larger eaters are more prone to, well. Mental difficulties."
1212
1213"Yes, yes" he chuckled. "The general effect." he underlined. "What about it?"
1214
1215"Is there a way to avoid that? Perhaps even a way to avoid it when you're eating brains, specifically?"
1216
1217He looked at you with a raised eyebrow. "Interested in taking that path?"
1218
1219"Just curious" you replied.
1220
1221"Well. I've done several experiments, myself" he said. "It is possible to have the composite mind work, Mary is one of my breakthroughs. She's perhaps one of the most intelligent Eaters of her size."
1222
1223"You see, a large Eater's mind has such a jumble in the neo-cortex, the outer areas - you know, the kind that's *different* in each person, that the only more-or-less functional part left is the more primitive part because we all tend to share that."
1224
1225"Mary is the product of repeated, very precise lobotomy" he said. "Quite the feat, if I can say so myself, to get a result as stable as hers."
1226
1227"I see. I've also heard that... Being related, by blood, can also reduce that 'jumbling' effect." you mentioned.
1228
1229"Yes." he replied. "Similar genetic blueprint. Not perfect, but certainly doable. Plus, with enough willpower, you should be able to control the effects as well, regardless of shared heritage."
1230
1231"Willpower?"
1232
1233"Consider it more like, deliberate body control." he said. "I don't like the term 'willpower' either, it sounds too spiritual. Think of it like a kind of discipline. Like the kind an... Actor, does? Or a ventriloquist? A bilingual translator? A good example is the kind of art Thirteen performs, for example, when he uses his extraordinary speed."
1234
1235You nodded. "I see."
1236
1237"How did you come up with these doubts?" he then asked. "They're certainly very peculiar."
1238
1239Roll 1d100, best of first three
1240>Chugger gave me the introduction.
1241>I came up with them myself
1242>Juana told me. She can become a valuable asset for us.
1243
1244>Write in.
1245
1246-------------------------
1247
1248"Chugger gave me the introduction." 
1249
1250"Pardon? Chelsea?" he replied.
1251
1252"Yeah, Chelsea." you clarified.
1253
1254He nodded.
1255
1256But then went silent, and approached you slowly.
1257
1258"How much... Does she know?" he asked.
1259
1260"About what?" you countered.
1261
1262Graham leaned back, and looked aside, thinking.
1263
1264"Do you know why she's been given a specific plan?" he then stated, after a while.
1265
1266You look at him, and he at you, raising his eyebrows expectantly. Why would he formulate his questions precisely like that?
1267
1268"No, not really." you said. "I was kind of hoping you would tell me."
1269
1270He exhaled, and chuckled.
1271
1272"So then, Blake." he then announced. "I've got a deal to propose to you."
1273
1274"If she's off telling these things to strangers, she must be pretty alone. The others must be ostracizing her. I want you to do this: become her friend, and let me know how she feels about things, report regularly. Having her leaving off or not following the plan would be horrible. Have her join Thirteen's gang too, even. Just keep her around."
1275
1276"Then, when the time comes, I'll ask you to bring her to me." he said.
1277
1278"She's part of a very important experiment." he said. "More important than Mary, even."
1279
1280"In exchange, I'll teach you how to use that speed ability of yours. I saw that you chose the Adrenal Gland. Good choice, if I may so so myself. A very good hunting tool."
1281
1282"So, can I trust you with this?" he asked. "Do *you* consider yourself trustworthy, Blake?"
1283
1284>Yes, but I want (write in) in exchange instead.
1285>Yes, of course. I'm always available to serve the Stadium's people.
1286>No. I don't believe I'm prepared for something like this.
1287
1288>Write in.
1289
1290-------------------------
1291
1292"Yes." you said. "However, I'd like confirmation that Chugger won't be harmed. And if possible, Juana as well."
1293
1294He chuckled. "Of course Chelsea won't be harmed. She'll be very blissful and happy once it's all over, I can assure you. That's what she *agreed* to. If you want Juana, you can have her. One person less, one more. Doesn't matter too much. But if she's a bother, she will have to be placed on the butcher table. We don't keep incompetents around here. I hope you keep that in mind."
1295
1296That would explain Thirteen's "test" before, you guessed.
1297
1298"Alright. With that confirmed, I'd like in exchange more rations for Thirteen's squad, as compensation for the task. Meat and viscerals, the good stuff. "
1299
1300"The *whole* squad?" he asked. "You're asking for an awful lot here."
1301
1302"Yes."
1303
1304He looked aside, then back at you. "2% more, only during the length of the task."
1305
1306You inhaled. "5%" you stated.
1307
1308"3%. You're basically babysitting, Blake, why should I give more?" Graham replied. "It's a lowest grade job. Everyone else has to do something more important - you're doing it because you're right now at the lowest position. 3% is overly generous. Be grateful."
1309
1310"3% it is then." you agreed, and offered a handshake. Graham complied.
1311
1312"Agreed." the man concluded.

1316You felt relieved as you returned back to Thirteen's area. Three percent more human meat you guys! You never thought you would actually be this happy to receive *human flesh* from *actual people*, but it was progress none the less. Plus, Juana might actually be alright now. There was some hope.
1317
1318However, you had to supervise Chugger. You didn't know where to find her, so you went to the kind lady you met before, and asked her about Chelsea's whereabouts.
1319
1320"Napping, likely" she said. "To do digestion. She's got this meal coming up though, so she better wake up soon."
1321
1322You blinked. Absorption/digestion of human mass was rather quick, if not instantaneous. While her huge bosom covered some of the view, you recalled that she never seemed to actually have a full tummy, despite eating all the time. In fact, it was likely narrower than anyone else's.
1323
1324"But how? You.. Don't need to digest people. It just goes." you countered.
1325
1326"Figure of speech." she explained. "You really can't eat endlessly anyway, even if its people. How else would you like, put that into words?"
1327
1328"Ah, hm."

1335
1336Chugger soon woke up, and soon walked over to her regular spot at the Stadium benches, and started to do work with her blender again. Meanwhile, you had been chatting with the butcher lady, and had figured out that her name was Rachel, and had lost her husband in the initial outburst, but that she was happy to have found a new home here with the rest of people, despite how they do things around here.
1337
1338You looked at the pigtails girl. Deliberately trying to become friends with someone sounded like something very awkward to do, but you figured that as long as you could keep tabs on her status, it should be alright.
1339
1340Thirteen whistled towards you, and you looked behind.
1341
1342"Scouting mission in half an hour" he yelled at you. "You're coming this time."
1343
1344You nodded back.
1345
1346>Try to subtly ask Rachel to figure out for you what Chugger's diet is exactly.
1347>Approach Chugger, and ask about her history in the Stadium, and her agreement with Graham.
1348>Get a head start with Thirteen's expedition and get your equipment and stuff ready. You could even pay Mary a visit as well, for tools.

1359I'll stick around for questionsand feedback for a bit. Drawfagging for the next session would be exciting to do, but I feel that I'm a bit too slow with updates, and I dont want to be even slower. I might opt to pre-draw a couple stuff.

1366Graham's butcher woman person only took out the uterus, breasts, etc. Female-specific organs, not eyelids nor knees, like that other carcass was missing.
1367
1368Going to continue soooooon, in about half an hour to an hour from now.
1369
1370-------------------------
1371
1372You decide to go check on Chugger. You went up, sat nearby the massive Eater, and started to chew down some bread.
1373
1374"Hello. So, how does it taste?" you then asked. She turned her head to look at you, and then you made a drinking gesture, and pointed to her jar.
1375
1376"Ah..." she then said. "Sweet, actually."
1377
1378She pulled out a couple of the pieces, which covered in blood and guts looked like any other piece of flesh that was there, but then she sucked on it, cleaning it, and showed it to you.
1379
1380"Brownies." she declared.
1381
1382"Oh." you chuckled, now wondering what human guts mixed with brownies tasted like.
1383
1384"I got more brownies here too." she then added, and showed a small plastic bag with them inside. "I make them. Want one?"
1385
1386You shrugged, and took one. "Thank you" you mentioned, as you took a bite, and immediately tasted a cloy amount of sugar, chocolate and some powerful mix of spices. You coughed a bit - which you suppressed with a closed mouth and poise, and then breathed for air. You cleared your throat. "Pretty strong. Yummy though."
1387
1388Chugger smiled back. "Want more?"
1389
1390"Aaah, no, I'm fine." you replied. Likely the reason why the brownies were like that was because they were designed to be diluted into that blender of hers with the rest.
1391
1392Chugger continued to merrily chug more blend, as usual, and very slowly grow.
1393
1394"So, what's your story?" you asked. "How did you arrive here?"
1395
1396She lowered her jar, and stared forwards. "I... Came here with my family. I had a sister. My mom and dad too."
1397
1398She gulped down another slurp. "They're gone now. Graham... tells me that they got killed outside by an Eater attack."
1399
1400"Your whole family, except you, in a single attack, outside?" you asked. "Why did they go outside?"
1401
1402She shrugged. "Graham tells me that they tried to escape."
1403
1404Her eyes narrowed. "But I know my family. My mom, my dad, my sister. They would've never tried to leave me behind like that. So w-why?"
1405
1406Tears started to form in her eyes, but she then immediately drank down the jar, and continued to keep it held up until it was empty. Then she lowered it.
1407
1408"Luckily, Graham saved me" she said.
1409
1410"He offered you a deal, yeah?" you figured.
1411
1412"Yeah. I was alone, without my parents and my sister, so I was planned to be eaten by the group. I'm not... like, really good, at things. If-if I ate! I would though! But... I hadn't..."
1413
1414"But Graham said that I could eat all I wanted as long as I ate what he told me to." she added. "So... I did."
1415
1416She blended more of the mix.
1417
1418"I see." you replied.

1423
1424---*---
1425
1426After some further small talk with Chugger and getting to take a brownie of hers with you, you arrived just in time to leave with Thirteen's squad to the outside.
1427
1428"C'mon, we don't have time." he said, as he beckoned you across the streets. "The fuck were you doing with Chugger anyway?"
1429
1430You looked aside and scratched your temple.
1431
1432"Yeah, you're gonna have to explain me more of that later." he said, as he lead the march.
1433
1434---*---
1435
1436The group arrived at the Church area, and attempted to remain hidden behind broken down cars and rubble. You looked around, and sighed heavily. It was nostalgic in a way. You could see the sewer lid you had met Juana in before.
1437
1438"Check their resources." Thirteen reminded them in a loud whisper. "What they have around, and how much of it. Let's go."
1439
1440Thirteen's team quickly dispersed with that order.
1441
1442"What about me?" you said, waiting behind a van with him.
1443
1444"You're sticking here with me." he replied. He leaned in. You could feel his breath on your ears.
1445
1446"Why were you with Chugger before?" he hissed. "Didn't I tell you to not get involved with Graham? Yet there you were, right. In. Front. Of. Me."
1447
1448"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to... mock you, Thirteen." you apologized.
1449
1450"Then *why*." he demanded.
1451
1452>I'm just interested in her.
1453>She asked for my help.
1454>I've made a deal with Graham.
1455>It's none of your business.
1456
1457>Write
1458
1459-------------------------
1460
1461"I gave Graham intel about the Church people,and he gave me intel." you explained "He asked me to look after Chugger too, and in exchange, we will get 3% more of our current share."
1462
1463He leered at you.
1464
1465"I did it because it's a huge good for the group." you further said. "And most importantly, I feel sorry for Chugger. I'm sorry Thirteen for messing around like, but I did it for a good reason."
1466
1467He looked at you, silent.
1468
1469"...And I'm grateful, Blake." he admitted.
1470
1471Then, he poked you heavily in your sternum. "But this mission right here is now your chance to prove who you're really standing with, because all of this is shady as *fuck*." he said. "Why does Chugger even need supervision in the first place, all she does is sit on her huge ass and eat all day."
1472
1473"And hey, Blake, if you want to leave, leave. The Church is right there. Heck, you don't even need to go with the Churchies, just get the fuck out of here. But if you're with us, you're with us."
1474
1475"You know Graham, don't you?" he then said. "So figure out intel that we can tell him which he will think is great, but that won't compromise the Church people."
1476
1477"You want to save them?" you asked.
1478
1479"Just coexist." Thirteen clarified. "Call me a fucking hypocrite for wanting to protect non-eaters, but those people took care of me. So now, I've got to do what I can to take care of them."
1480
1481---*---
1482
1483>Use this opportunity to go try find Juana. Go to the sewer.
1484>Go the Chruch, and knock on the door and try to talk to them. You still look like a regular human, unlike the rest. Try to get inside info.
1485>Go the Chruch, and knock on the door and try to talk to them. You still look like a regular human, unlike the rest. Warn them about Graham's plans.
1486>Scout the area for Eater activity.

1490
1491-------------------------
1492
1493You tell Thirteen about Juana, and about what she had told you about the new inner politics of the Church.
1494
1495"Really now?" Thirteen replied, wide-eyed. "Huh. That's actually very useful to know." he chuckled. "I don't think we should tell Graham his just now. Let's see how it pans out."
1496
1497"She's around here, somewhere." you told him. "Most likely the sewers. Although she did mention that she didn't like it there. She might've moved."
1498
1499You continued off explaining how the other two men they had killed were Church scouts, and that they had taken bites from a corpse.
1500
1501"Yeah, stuff like that was happening too when I was around." Thirteen said. "People were shit."
1502
1503---*---
1504
1505You went to the sewer again, climbed down, and looked around.
1506
1507"B-Blake?" you then heard. It was Juana.
1508
1509She peered from deeper down the tunnel. "I-it's you!" she cheered. "You're back!"
1510
1511You chuckled. "Yes. It's been a bit."
1512
1513Juana held her forehead. "How have you been?! After those Eater guys took you, I thought you were dead or something!"
1514
1515"I'm pretty alright" you mentioned. "How're you?"
1516
1517She froze for a moment, and blinked. She laughed uneasily. "I'm... Missing an arm." she tried to joke.
1518
1519"Nuh...Noh... Nothing I can't live with." she mentioned. She showed you a cauterized numb, where her elbow was supposed to be.
1520
1521"G-Good people still exist, Blake." she then adamantly declared. "I don't mind if I have to look like this, I'll still fight and keep on going to find more of them, and help them."
1522
1523You smiled back warmly. Juana was always so luminescent like this.
1524
1525"So, was it... an Eater attack?" you asked.
1526
1527"Yeah" she said. "I was trying to get more food."
1528
1529"It's so dangerous to be alone, Blake" Juana then added. "It's incredible how you've escaped from the Eaters. I'm.."
1530
1531She burst into tears. "...Snff.. so happee you'reback."
1532
1533You approached her, and put her head on your shoulder. "It's alright now, Juana."
1534
1535"snff... You have to tell me how you escaped! How you came back here!" she cheered. "You must be tired, no? I'll get you some food, wait here!"
1536
1537>Tell her that you've actually joined those Eaters, and that you'd like her to come with.
1538>Don't tell her, and leave while she's away. She mustn't know.
1539>Stay here, and hide from Thirteen.

1551-------------------------
1552
1553"I've actually joined the Eaters." you tell her.
1554
1555"Y-you what?"
1556
1557"I've joined those Eaters" you repeated. "I did it to survive, Juana. I did't want to die, I didn't want to get into further trouble. I picked the best choice I could find to be safe, and to get you safe as well."
1558
1559"Y-You're just like the Church people, aren't you?" she muttered.
1560
1561"No, I'm just being realistic, Juana." you countered. "I wish I could do everything the 'right' way, but in the circumstances in the which we are now, I don't have a choice but to do what I have to do."
1562
1563"They're not all bad people either. There's a guy called Thirteen who leads the squad I'm part of. He's a great guy, and he wants to make sure that the Church people go unharmed. The Stadium's leader, Graham, wants to assault it."
1564
1565"Graham, like the Reverend?" she asked.
1566
1567"Yeah."
1568
1569"Maybe they're... Family, or something" Juana pointed out.
1570
1571"Regardless." you then said. "I'd like you to come with me. At least away from here, to somewhere safe. If you can be near the Stadium, I'll be able to visit you and all."
1572
1573"I'll... Think about it." she answered.
1574
1575"There isn't much time." you said. "I have to leave with the rest soon, and that place is surrounded by larger Eaters - the only way we can get there is if we go in a group. At least, come with me Juana, and take your decision later, alright?"
1576
1577"Ah-alright..." she muttered.
1578
1579---*---
1580
1581"You already know the policy." Thirteen told you, as you arrived to the Stadium's doors with Juana. The rest of the group had given her plenty of glances already, and had commented among themselves how she 'wouldn't make it' or how 'she is sure to be butchered'. "She's going to have to be tested, and proven to be useful to the group, or she'll have to be killed and cut up." 
1582
1583Juana was stiff. Her breathing was heavy, and she looked around anxiously. This wasn't the kind of place she wanted to be, but you didn't know what else you could tell her to put her at ease. She just had to get used to it, you assumed.
1584
1585"So what should we do with her?" Thirteen asked you with regret. "I'll help you all I can, if you don't come up with anything soon, I'll have to hand her in like any other regular human that we've catched."
1586
1587Roll 1d100, best of first three,
1588>Ask Thirteen to 'test' her like he did with you, and fake the result so that Juana could stay if she can't 'win'. Attempt to convince Juana to take the test. 
1589>Help Juana find a hiding spot near the Stadium.
1590>Try to convince Juana to enter the Stadium and attempt to smuggle her in.
1591
1592>Write in.
1593
1594-------------------------
1595
1596"Juana, take the test." you said, "You are needed here. Someone like you can change things. You see things differently, you have the courage to actually take a stand."
1597
1598"You know what's right." you said. "You can change things."
1599
1600"I'm just a coward, Blake." she said.
1601
1602"No, you left the Church, didn't you? You cauterized your own arm, didn't you?"
1603
1604"Believe in yourself, Juana. You can change the people that are here."
1605
1606"But they're Eaters," she said.
1607
1608"*I* am an Eater." you declared, and slammed a palm on your chest. "But I'm still a person, Juana."
1609
1610"You're right, Blake." she then said. "I shouldn't abandon them, even if they're Eaters. They're still humans! They're still people!."
1611
1612"That's it!" you cheered.
1613
1614"They might have the wrong ideas, but I can show them the way! I have to give them the option to change, I mustn't deny them that chance! They can be forgiven!
1615
1616T-They can change, can't they?"
1617
1618"Yes, Juana." you said. "Just give them the opportunity."
1619
1620---*---
1621
1622In the hallway of the Stadium, Juana was put in front of Thirteen, with Graham overseeing the fight. She retained her coat on her, concealing that she was missing an arm. The Eater put himself into a stance.
1623
1624"Ready?" Thirteen said, without much confidence.
1625
1626"Ready." Juana replied.
1627
1628"Ten... shi!" he said, and disappeared.
1629
1630In a flash, Juana was struck in the gut. Thirteen didn't stop.
1631
1632"Shi, shi!" - Juana's jaw was punched downwards, sending her stepping backwards, and then struck up again from the opposite side. She stumbled backwards, and lost her balance, falling to the ground.
1633
1634"I'm sorry, Juana. It's ov-"
1635
1636"No!" Juana declared. "I'm not done yet, Thirteen."
1637
1638She stood up again.
1639
1640"Not done."
1641
1642Thirteen rose an eyebrow, and looked at the rest, unsure how to proceed.
1643
1644"Continue." Graham prompted. Thirteen nodded.
1645
1646Juana attempted to imitate Thirteen's stance.
1647
1648"Ten - shi!" Thirteen enunciated again, but Juana braced herself and endured his strike to her ribs, and then, threw a punch of her own.
1649
1650However, in a swift movement, Thirteen caught her outstretched arm with his hands and elbows into an armlock.
1651
1652"You're done." he said, with regret.
1653
1654"Not..." Juana said, as she reeled backwards.
1655
1656"Juana, I'm sorry, bu-"
1657
1658"DONE!" 
1659
1660There was a loud pop sound, and you could see Juana slam her skull into Thirteen's, as she dislocated the entire arm she had left to get the reach she needed.
1661
1662The redhead stumbled backwards, holding his forehead. He blinked, and looked at her, to find her changing at him and then thrusting a kick up into his gut. She prepared for another, but then, Thirteen held her foot.
1663
1664"Juana." he said, wide-eyed, staring at her foot, and then at her. "You... pass."
1665
1666"You... Actually pass." he repeated to himself, as if he needed to confirm it himself for real as well.
1667
1668(cont).

1670-------------------------
1671
1672---*---
1673
1674"Impressive display of recklessness" Graham judged, after Juana was given proper first aid. "But you're a cripple, Juana, despite your courage."
1675
1676"You're missing your arm." he said. "What are you doing to do about that?"
1677
1678"I'm a hard worker." Juana said. "I'll do what it takes. I'll contribute. I can help."
1679
1680Graham removed his glasses, and stared to wipe them. "This is a very difficult decision for me, Juana." he said. "Your performance has been impressive, yes, but at what cost? Your will is great, and it commands respect, but what I need is talent, ability, productivity. Not one-armed heroes."
1681
1682He put his glasses on. "But I can make an exception with you." he said. "If you accept a condition."
1683
1684"Your ovaries" he said. "Surgically removed."
1685
1686"My ...*what*? Why!?" she protested.
1687
1688"It's important." he said. "More important than you can imagine right now, I believe."
1689
1690"But that is my condition." Graham concluded. "You can stay here for 24 hours to decide."
1691
1692"C-can't we arrange something else? Really, Graham, I can-"
1693
1694"No." he said, and started to leave. "Twenty-four hours, Juana. Think about it well."
1695
1696---*---
1697
1698It was late, and you still had some time before nightfall, and some well-needed sleep.
1699
1700>Go check on Chugger and how she is, as per your task.
1701>Talk to Juana, and take care of her, given that she's very injured.
1702>Go to Graham, and try to arrange an alternate trade for Juana.
1703
1704>Write in
1705
1706-------------------------
1707
1708You go to Juana, and bring her food and water to have. She was missing an arm, and her only good arm was in bandages, so you had to feed her yourself directly. After a short meal, and her thanking you, you went to Graham. You noticed that Thirteen's group looked at you and gave you thumbs up, as they were given human meat to eat. Your deal with Graham was giving its results.
1709
1710---*---
1711
1712"Nothing, I'm telling you." Graham told you, after you insisted and offered waiving the extra cut you've earned, working for him more time, and even becoming his personal henchman.
1713
1714"Plus, you're working for me already." he pointed out. "Given the Chuch information you gave me earlier, and the confirmation that Thirteen's scouting mission has given me, I'm going to have to do a change of plans."
1715
1716"Tomorrow, I'm going to need you to bring morphine and midwifery tools from the Hospital." he said.
1717
1718"Make sure she eats all she can as well." he added. "And at night, when she's sleepy, you'll bring her to me, as you promised you would."
1719
1720"Got it?" he underlined.
1721
1722You nodded.
1723
1724"So, we're going to fight soon?" you asked. "With the Church?"
1725
1726"Not yet." he said. "These are just some new preparations we need to do. But yes, soon. We will."
1727
1728---*---
1729
1730>Go to sleep, and rest well.
1731>While late, go eat your meal (includes human flesh).
1732>Warn Thirteen about the plan Graham had arranged for you all tomorrow.
1733>Inform Chugger about that you're going to bring her to Graham tomorrow.

1753
1754You went to grab your assigned fillets of human flesh, and rushed up to Thirteen, who was sleeping on a mattress on the floor.
1755
1756You carefully shook his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
1757
1758He nudged your hand away. "...Just let me sleep" he muttered, annoyed.
1759
1760"It's me, Blake." you clarified, as you ate the fillet. "It's important."
1761
1762"...Blake?" he then said, and opened his eyes groggily.
1763
1764"Graham has plans for us tomorrow." you said. "He wants us to go to the Hospital and get stuff."
1765
1766"Holy fucking shit." he replied. That woke him up. "The fucking Hospital? Dude, when did he tell you this?"
1767
1768"Just now." you replied. "I was going to negotiate with him for something instead of Juana's ovaries, and this came up."
1769
1770"Christ." he then muttered.
1771
1772"What's so bad about the Hospital?" you asked.
1773
1774"Everyone wants stuff from the Hospital" he explained. "We're going to get some fucks right outside telling us to get stuff for them, or they'll kill us. Or some fucks trying to steal the stuff we've gotten when we try to leave the place. Or whatever other bullshit people feel like pulling off over there."
1775
1776"And you've got the most weirdass Eaters in there too." he added. "The whole Hospital is a fucking party, you know?"
1777
1778"We could try to trade with the Hospital mafia people." he said, after some silence. "But... Fuuuuuck their prices are high. We don't have anything really interesting or valuable to trade with them."
1779
1780"Damn" you replied, as you finished eating your serving of human flesh.
1781
1782"Thanks for telling me." Thirteen said. "I'll sleep on this. I hope we can figure out something good."
1783
1784You nodded. "No problem, man."
1785
1786---*---
1787
1788You woke up early in the morning. Graham apparently hadn't relayed the order yet, but Thirteen was awake as well, sitting in one of the Stadium's seats, alone. He had his elbows on his knees, his hands together in a fist, and his mouth rested on them, staring into the grass of the central field.
1789
1790You went up to him, and asked about what he was thinking about, but he replied that he didn't know. He told you he thinking about was how to deal with the Hospital mafia, or avoid them, and get into the Hospital, but that so far, that angle seemed pretty fucked.
1791
1792>Try to convince Graham to delay the mission, or at least, assign it to a different squad.
1793>Go check on Chugger, as per the task Graham had given you, because today was going to be a big day for her.
1794>Ask Graham for something you could use as trade for the Hospital mafia. Ask him to to help you help him.
1795>Propose to Thirteen to split from the Stadium and form a new gang somewhere else. You could leave on Graham's mission, but never actually return.
1796
1797>Write in
1798
1799-omitted one small post.
1800
1801-------------------------
1802
1803After Graham officially relayed the task to him, you propose the idea of forming a new gang with Thirteen, but he quickly counters you.
1804
1805"Dude, I've been thinking about it too." he said. "But what about the people, man? They're probably going to want to stay here. It's safer, it's a bigger group, and Graham's a doctor. What can I give them that can compete with that? And even if they do choose to come with, do they deserve worse just because I don't like the old guy?"
1806
1807"But hey. If you figure something out, I'm all aboard." he said. "Count on me man."
1808
1809---*---
1810
1811You go to check on Chugger. You could see that she was awake and getting to her regular spot to gorge herself, but as you approached her, she blushed and looked aside flusteredly.
1812
1813Regardless, you sat near her again as last time, and started to eat the breakfast bread that everyone else in Thirteen's squad was given.
1814
1815"How's it going, Chelsea?" you asked.
1816
1817"Doing alright." she replied in a meager, but excited voice, as she lowered her head.
1818
1819Then she looked at you.
1820
1821"Y-You're super brave!" she suddenly exclaimed.
1822
1823You blinked.
1824
1825"I... I've seen how you talk to Thirteen, and G-Graham!" she added. "And Juana!"
1826
1827"You-You're so cool!" she concluded.
1828
1829"Ah, well. Uhm, thank you." you chuckled. "I just try my best."
1830
1831Chugger nodded, and then started to try to say words, but nothing came out for a moment.
1832
1833"W-Why aren't you in charge!" she then suddenly said. "Thirteen doesn't talk to people like you do. Y-you would better!"
1834
1835"Ah, well, I think Thirteen's doing a pretty great job and - "
1836
1837She shook her head. "No, nono. You would do better. You would also get a bigger cut." she then gently pinched your forearm. "Y-you would grow more too."
1838
1839She didn't stop pinching.
1840
1841"You would grow nice and big" she added.
1842
1843"I-I can talk to Graham" she then said. "Let me help you!"
1844
1845Chugger's proposal?
1846>Decline
1847>Accept
1848
1849Then?
1850>Go ask the rest of Thirteen's group about how they would feel about leaving the Stadium for good.
1851>Ask Graham if you can sit out of the Hospital mission, using Chugger as an excuse.
1852>Try to loot the Stadium of anything useful before the mission.
1853>Stay with Chugger and talk about her stance with eating people and this whole world situation.
1854
1855>Write in
1856
1857-------------------------
1858
1859"Sorry, but no." you replied. "Thirteen is doing great where he is."
1860
1861She pouted and looked aside.
1862
1863"What." you asked. 
1864
1865She turned to you. "I still think you should eat more!"
1866
1867"Well, the cuts are the cuts, you know." you shrugged.
1868
1869"I-I'll get you more. A-And then, when you're the strongest, you'll be the best, and you'll become leader." she said.
1870
1871"I'm telling you that I'm not going to replace Thirteen." you insisted.
1872
1873"But you know that you're better than him!" she replied. "Y-You're so much better, Blake!"
1874
1875"Not happening."
1876
1877---*---
1878
1879You continued to eat your bread, and there was some silence until you leaned in to talk again.
1880
1881"Hey, Chelsea." you started off. "About... The world. And eating people. What do you think about that?"
1882
1883"It's... Wrong." she said. "But... we don't have a choice. We have to eat to survive now."
1884
1885"But I don't want this to go on forever." she continued. "I hope it ends soon. I want everything to go back to normal."
1886
1887"But I just don't know what to do." Chugger concluded. "So I just try to help where I can."
1888
1889You nodded.
1890
1891---*---
1892
1893Before you left, you noticed that Chugger wasn't able to chug down the load of food she had been given today, which was significantly greater than her usual amount.
1894
1895>Encourage her to do some extra effort in eating today, because it's important.
1896>Don't tell her anything in this regard.
1897>Encourage her to eat as little as she can, if at all, today, despite that being against Blake's indications.
1898
1899>Suggest her to join Thirteen's group.
1900>Don't bring it up.
1901
1902>Tell her that Graham has plans for her, and that he has told you to bring her to him later today.
1903>Don't tell her
1904
1905>Write in.
1906
1907-------------------------
1908
1909"Just get down what you can, if you cant eat any more ya cant eat any more" you tell Chugger. "Don't worry about it."
1910
1911She nodded in response.
1912
1913"O-Okay."
1914
1915"Also. Graham has plans for you. Tonight you'll have to come with me to him." you notify her.
1916
1917"R-Really? For what?" she wondered, pretty excited.
1918
1919"We'll see." you replied, actually not entirely sure yourself either. However it made you very uncomfortable to guess about the possibilities because of what you knew about Graham's track record with his experiments.
1920
1921---*---
1922
1923It was time to go to the Hospital with the rest of Thirteen's squad. During the trip there, Juana was rather popular in the group, being often talked to or asked questions about who she was, where she came from, and how she lost her arm. You could also hear on the sidelines how some of them were relieved that Thirteen's was that little bit less of a sausage fest now, and some even came up to you with the joke that you should recruit more girls.
1924
1925Thanks to that you moved in a huge group, finding and avoiding the huger threats was easy, and even when you did meet some of the sneakier wild Eaters, intimidation from numbers alone was enough to dissuade them.
1926
1927---*---
1928
1929You arrived at the Hospital, and you could see that people had built small bases into the houses nearby by barricading doors, adding spikes, and other defenses. You met up with a lady Thirteen said he knew, a tall, stoic-looking woman called Alyona.
1930
1931"We'd like to go in the Eastern sid-." Thirteen started off.
1932
1933"East side obvious, caht to the chase, Thirteen." she interrupted, in a dense slav accent.
1934
1935"Simple entry and exit." he continued. "We're going to get surgical equipment. Uh, midwifery stuff. A set of tools for giving birth and stuff. Also morphine, and then leave."
1936
1937"A whole set? Okay. You sure you want to go in? No trade? I have. Give me two of your men. And then the stuff is yours. Better give them to me than have them die in Hospital, no?"
1938
1939"Let's discuss the trip first." 
1940
1941(cont)
1942
1943-------------------------
1944
1945"How meny people."
1946
1947"Four." Thirteen replied.
1948
1949"You're johking. You're bringing in ten, because you'll also bring me beck the Da Vinci surgery machine."
1950
1951"The what?"
1952
1953"The Da Vinci. Robot machine, very high tech, very valuable. Don't breck, or I'll breck your surgical equipment, morphine, and bones, yes?" she explained, and showed a drawing of a closet-sided machine with multiple arms.
1954
1955"Alyona, come on. We're friends, right? Can't you cut me some slack?"
1956
1957"Yes, we're friends. That's why I trust you to bring the Da Vinci. Special friend request for you. Others will put higher price for what you're looking for."
1958
1959Thirteen sighed heavily.
1960
1961"Alright. Let me think about it." he concluded.
1962
1963---*---
1964
1965Thirteen and the rest of you went outside to consider and discuss. As you talked, it was made clear that the less people you put in the hospital, the better, because of the dangers inside. Additionally, the hospital was guarded on every side, and the main viable entrances were guarded and controlled by its particular mafia. Unauthorized entry or exit was typically met with a brutal beating up or straight up killing, however the mafiosos never actually entered the hospital, so once you were inside, if you did so 'illegitimately', you were in the clear. About two men were always on guard at each door (five doors in total), with an annexed community in a building nearby with about a dozen more to back them up. Thirteen resorted to you for a tiebreaking decision about how to proceed.
1966
1967>Try to sneak into the hospital, each from different locations, and then meet up inside.
1968>Beat up the mafiosos to enter, beat up the mafiosos to exit. As a group, you were about double the amount an individual mafia community was.
1969>Accept Alyona's deal.
1970>Try to arrange a trade of some kind with Alyona so that you don't have to enter the hospital to get the goods.
1971
1972>Write in.

1993
1994-------------------------
1995
1996You decide along Thirteen to attempt entering by sneaking in.
1997
1998"We're going to have to be you, me and two more. the redhead pointed out. "We've both eaten Adrenal, and we should get the next two stealthiest guys. "
1999
2000"You've practiced, haven't you?" he asked. "The Adrenaline."
2001
2002"Uh... No." you admitted. "I hadn't had time."
2003
2004"Well you're going to have a great time inside to practice." she muttered to you.
2005
2006---*---
2007
2008Thirteen gathered you, one of his men, and Juana, because her small size was actually useful in this case.
2009
2010"The Hospital isn't like other places" he underlined. "You don't fight in here - you fucking run. Got it? If you try to fight one guy, you're going to have ten more of them arriving for a gangbang."
2011
2012"The Eaters here aren't very quick." he continued. "But they're many."
2013
2014---*---
2015
2016The others in Thirteen's group had assembled on strategic locations around the hospital to cause a ruckus and draw attention - they were going to fake going in and entertain the mafiosos as they gave them the initial reprimanding as the rest of you attempted to slip in through openings in the barricaded windows.

2025
2026You'd all agreed to meet at the hospital's main reception area. After Thirteen suggesting for Juana to go with him for the sake of protection, you all set off to attempt to enter through your designated areas.
2027
2028---*---
2029
2030You managed to slip in through a window, however, you do so slowly and you stumbled into the hallway - attracting the attention of a massive Eater in the process, who was so big that his body reached the roof and the floor, effectively acting as a sort of blockade with little to no space to spare, and he had to move by dragging himself around.
2031
2032You quickly looked around. You were at a ward of some kind, with rooms on the sides with overturned beds and blood smears everywhere. The Eater was between you and perpendicular corridor further ahead which would lead you to the reception. However, nearby you had a staircase which lead to the upper floor. Thirteen had told you how to reach the reception from your entrance from the group floor - just going straight, then down the corridor to the right, and you're there - but you didn't know how the upper floors where like, in case you would take the staircase. However, you did know that the entire location had generally all the same kind of threats - Eaters. The massive Eater was slowly approaching as well, so if you did take the staircase, you might not be able to return back if he reached it.
2033
2034>Go upstairs.
2035>Try to draw the attention of the Eater to chase you, then enter a room, and try to wait out until he passes your room, somehow.
2036>Look for a weapon in the rooms, and attempt to attack the Eater-blockade.
2037>The Eater-blockade wasn't perfect, so attempt to slide past him through any opening his body leaves in the hallway.
2038
2039>Write in
2040
2041-------------------------
2042
2043You decide to go upstairs. There, you saw a man in the hallway with a paper mask and a doctor's uniform, facing a certain room. The other rooms which had the doors just bared closed seemed to have Eaters inside of them, massively warped with massive growths and deformations, moaning and walking into walls
2044
2045However, the room the masked man was staring at was closed, and you could hear coherent, although muffled arguing between a man and a woman, especially remarks about "stop being so loud" and "lower your voice".
2046
2047The man just stood here, chuckling now and then.
2048
2049Roll 1d100, best of first three.
2050>Attempt to dart past the masked man.
2051>Try to talk to him. If he gets hostile, try to run for your life.
2052>Approach the door he is staring at, knock it gently and try to talk to the people inside. Flee if things go bad.
2053>Enter one of the rooms populated by deranged Eaters and try to loot it.

2062(OOC: The crossbow has been left with Mary.)
2063
2064>79
2065
2066You decide to enter one of the rooms populated by deranged Eaters. Within, by creeping slowly, you discover by observing them that the two that were within were half-blind. The amount of deformed flesh had warped their faces in such a way that their eyes were either obscured or entirely covered. Seeing how difficult it was to recognize their nose and ears, you assumed that the same went for the rest of their senses.
2067
2068Then, one of them bumped into the other, and they suddenly burst out punches and lashes at each other, but after a short clumsy quarrel and moaning, they stopped, as they seemed to try to cover the mouth of the other.
2069
2070Then, they continued wandering aimlessly.
2071
2072Carefully, you wandered past them and tried to retrieve anything you could.
2073
2074The beds and furniture were all a mess, but when you opened the cupboards, the insides where visibly shaken around, but otherwise immaculate. There was a small box labelled as painkillers and a bottle of sleeping pills inside, which have been already opened, and about half of the pills of each were missing. From before the apocalypse, you assumed, given their otherwise clean and untouched status.
2075
2076You scratched your chin as you looked around the room. Being so blind and uncoordinated, they couldn't actually reach to get this stuff, couldn't they? 
2077
2078Then, further ahead, you could hear a faint yelling and groaning, which slowly became louder and louder. It was a sort of chain reaction, from the sound from the initial point, more and more roars were heard from throughout the building, each time reaching farther and each time louder.
2079
2080"OOHOOO, IT BEGINS!" you could then hear a clear, male voice cheer - given from where you heard it, you assumed it to be the man from before, and then some scuttering.
2081
2082One of the Eaters in your room also bellowed, and started to try to clumsily run out of the room, as the other seemed to notice as well, but then ignored the commotion entirely. 
2083
2084You sneaked back to the hallway, to find that the masked man was gone. The door he was "guarding" was also slightly open, and you could glimpse someone peeking out to you, but then it suddenly shut.
2085
2086You heard a muffled voice, and then another saying "I dunno. Some guy."
2087
2088>Run and go check what all of the fuss is about down the hallway.
2089>Go back downstairs to see if the blockade-Eater has left, to continue off to the reception.
2090>Knock the door with humans sounds in them, and try to talk to whoever is inside.
2091
2092>Write in
2093
2094-------------------------
2095
2096You decide to try to approach the door. You could hear thrashing around and fighting further ahead, presumably from the ruckus you heard earlier.
2097
2098You could hear some more muttering from a higher-pitched voice, and then a lower one whisper loudly "Human. Doesn't look like an Eater."
2099
2100You approached the door, and knocked. "Hello?" There was a lot of shuffling around, and then you heard the deep voice from before talk to you.
2101
2102"Who is it? What do you want?!" he boomed.
2103
2104"...friendlier...!" you then heard the female voice hiss.
2105
2106"I'm Andrew." he then said, affably.
2107
2108"notthatfriendly...!"
2109
2110"Do you want to talk!?" Andrew said back, under his breath.
2111
2112"Blake." you replied.
2113
2114"You're... Cool with me being, uh, an Eater?" he then asked. "I'm going to go out."
2115
2116"Yeah. No problem as you don't, like, attack me, man." you replied.
2117
2118He chuckled. "Ahh, don't worry. I don't want to fight you either."
2119
2120---*---
2121
2122The man exited the room, and closed the door behind him, leaving whoever was inside behind. He was very tall, at least more than 7 feet by your guesses, with a slightly enlarged forehead and prominent jaw. He was wearing glasses as well, but he put them into the breast pocket of his shirt as he met with you. There was what you noticed to be a small necklace with small wooden beads in there too, which he promptly and nervously tucked in better.
2123
2124"So, you're stuck in here too, huh?" he then suddenly asked. "We've been in here for a day already, had to sleep inside there. Hard stuff."
2125
2126"I came in just now, actually." you explained. "I'm looking to join up with my friends at the reception area."
2127
2128"Join up?" he asked. "So, you came in here... alone?"
2129
2130"Yeah." you replied. "How about you?"
2131
2132"Uh, things. You know, we had to pay entry and everything." he mentioned, looking aside.
2133
2134"Your friends, they're... Uh, how do I put this. What group are they from?" he asked, looking concerned.
2135
2136"...How about you?" you countered.
2137
2138"Independent!" he stated very stiffly.
2139
2140"I'm from the Stadium" you admitted rather confidently.
2141
2142"Oooh, the Stadium!" he cheered. "Really now?"
2143
2144"Yeah."
2145
2146"Oh, that's great! You know, it's safe and all, definitely better than being alone, you know." he added. "Think you can... Get us in?"
2147
2148"Well, that's a bit heavy to ask for." you dismissed. You had just met them.
2149
2150"Could we at least come with?" he then asked, and knocked the door behind him, and then opened it to reveal the girl behind, who was a ridiculously buxom chestnut-haired girl.
2151
2152She rose a hand and wove it meagerly, as her eyes darted from you to Andrew, then back to you.
2153
2154"Hello. Sofia." she introduced herself.
2155
2156"Her too, please." Andrew requested, enthusiastically. "We... Don't have much time. You know it's really dangerous in here. C'mon."
2157
2158Andrew and Sofia
2159>They can come along.
2160>Politely decline and continue on your way down the wall further ahead.
2161>Ask about Andrew's necklace.
2162>Ask about the masked man that was staring at their door earlier.
2163
2164>Write in
2165
2166-------------------------
2167
2168You agree, and decide that they can come along. As you both ventured further ahead, you asked about the man that was in front of their door earlier, and Andrew quickly dismissed it.
2169
2170"Some crazy guy." he said. "Wouldn't leave us alone."
2171
2172You also brought up that there was a test for joining, and that they owed you a favor. The large man chuckled. "Well, if we can help you out too, we will, right?" he said, and then looked at the girl, who then nodded in agreement.
2173
2174---*---
2175
2176You arrived to a staircase that lead downwards again - you assumed it would lead to the reception area and you all quickly went through it, and finally reached the place.
2177
2178https://youtu.be/pegCs-Ad2zs?t=2m2s
2179
2180It was full of Eaters with the masked man presiding them. Thirteen, Juana and that other guy were surrounded by a disperse crowd of the mutants. Thirteen was holding a bleeding arm, and Juana had a bleeding scratch across her left brow. They smiled in joy as they saw you, although they looked perplexed at the other two coming with you.
2181
2182Then, the masked man turned to you.
2183
2184"Ah! You've finally decided to Ah-rrrrive!" he said, and gestured his arms wide open. Then, he shook his finger in front of him and made a pouty voice. "Bewy bewy bad of you two to keep me waiting. I was starting to get leg cramps you know."
2185
2186Then he jolted up in a leap.
2187
2188"But I forgive you! Ahaha! I knew I would be finally able to persuade you. Happy da-!" 
2189

2192-------------------------
2193
2194An Eater bumped into him, and immediately started to leap onto him and groan, but he swiftly karate-chopped the nearest lump on its back. "It's me". The Eater immediately halted and retreated.
2195
2196He then chuckled and elevated it into a huge laugh. "INDEED IT IS ME!"
2197
2198Then he suddenly stopped, and faced you all seriously.
2199
2200"Onto business, famiglia." he hoarsely announced as he imitated an italian accent. "la bonna mafia has brought to me these fine people, oh yes."
2201
2202"However, today we have our SPECIAL GUESTS!" he added, and wove in your direction.
2203
2204"No, you can't eat them, Billy." he then hissed to someone in the crowd. "Ah, you mean the other people? Yeah, I'm getting to that, hold on."
2205
2206"Freaks should join freaks!" he then boomed. "Together, we are the PAAAAAaran-GON! OF! EVOLUTION!"
2207
2208"This is your chance, friends." he said. "Join me, and capture these fine dishes for me.
2209
2210"Or, just, die." he chuckled. "That's all there really is to it."
2211
2212As the masked man made his overly elaborate speech, Thirteen had gestured to you towards an exit - another window with a breach in it. He also pointed to that he had gotten a bottle of something - morphine, you assumed, but when you made cutting gestures to indicate the surgical tools, he shrugged and tightened his lips together. He didn't have that yet.
2213
2214Sofia and Thirteen had been looking at each other and communicating nonverbally as well. Andrew was shrugging and gesturing to you, Thirteen and the rest, as Sofia looked offended and pointed to Thirteen's exit. They didn't seem to come to an agreement.

2236
2237You gestured for them to leave, and then pointed at yourself and then up.
2238
2239Thirteen hissed "What the fuck, man?" but you insisted, and ran off.
2240
2241---*---
2242
2243You reached the upper floor, and immediately started to scour the rooms within, trying to find someplace promising. After rows of waiting rooms and offices, you reached a section titled "Woman's care", and after a while of searching, you found a supplies room. Within, you managed to quickly find several bags titled as "Midwifery kits", along newpaper cuts on a dusty corkboard about a recent rise in criminal activity related to fanatical cults, as well as a new plan set in place by the local hospital to teach key people how to tend a childbirth, due to a massive rise in distrust towards the doctors of the hospital.
2244
2245---*---
2246
2247You darted out, and managed to find a window which you could see Thirteen and the others waiting for you outside. Sofia was next a window on the ground floor, looking through it to see the inside.
2248
2249"Jump!" Juana yelled, with Thirteen and his pal standing beside her, ready to catch you, and without thinking twice, you leaped out, and fell onto them, allowing them to dampen the impact.
2250
2251"Glad to have you back, man." Thirteen said. "Although there's still business with this friend of yours."
2252
2253Sofia turned to you, crying. "A-Andrew is still inside!" she pleaded. "H-He needs to come with!"
2254
2255Thirteen butted in. "He also attacked us. We managed to get away because Mask-guy was giving him a chance."
2256
2257"H-He doesn't know what he's doing!" she said. "And n-now they're going to eat him, for sure!"
2258
2259"Because he didn't manage to get us which he chose to do." Thirteen said. "Important to point that out."
2260
2261"P-Please give Andrew a chance!" Sofia begged you. "I'll talk to him! He will change, you'll see!
2262
2263L-Let's go back, please Blake! Please forgive him!"
2264
2265"The Mafia fuckers are going to notice we're here anytime now, if they haven't already." Thirteen noted. "We've got to move. I won't stop you from doing whatever the hell you want, but I'm not going back in there for him."
2266
2267>Go back in to save Andrew, right now.
2268>Wait a bit and try to negotiate with Sofia for something in exchange for going back in.
2269>Tell Sofia that you won't go back, that you've all have to leave immediately because of the mafia.

2272
2273-------------------------
2274
2275"You have thirty seconds to offer me a deal I have to accept." you tell her. "Go."
2276
2277She looked at you, to the Hospital, then back at you.
2278
2279"I-I don't have anything! I-I..." she said, as she started to break down into tears. "I...
2280
2281...I-I'll b-be your s-slave.", she desperately stammered.
2282
2283You inhaled through your teeth. "Aaah...Call it 'servant' or 'assistant', not 'slave'" you exhaled.
2284
2285"F-For how long?" she asked. "I can do as long a yo-"
2286
2287"One month should do." you interrupted. You really didn't have time for this, you really had to go in save this guy, one month was plenty anyway. You considered something related to her ovaries, but you figured you could settle those details later on, even easier so if she's supposed to be some kind of 'slave'.
2288
2289You sighed deeply. "Deal?" you asked.
2290
2291"D-Deal!" she agreed.
2292
2293"Fucking hell, Blake." Thirteen then mentioned. "Give me the Kit, it'll weigh you down. C'mon, run!"
2294
2295You tossed it to him, and immediately after, slid yourself right back into the Hospital through a crucial gape in the barricade. 
2296
2297---*---
2298
2299"It's a real pity that I'm going to have to kill someone special like you, big guy." the Masked man said, as he surrounded Andrew with the Eaters. "Someone who could've belonged with us, but alas, you doubted. You weren't fully convinced."
2300
2301You could him remove his glove, and then drag his hand with the other, causing it to stretch and bleed until he shaped it into a long spearhead. You noticed how it also quickly lost its natural fleshy color to quickly gain a whitish one, until his skin broke, resulting in a single massive sword-like protrusion.
2302
2303"Flesh to bone, big guy." the masked man chuckled. "Going to feel great, you'll see."
2304
2305Andrew stood his ground adamantly, and drew his fists.
2306
2307You were behind them all, and due to their limited senses, none of the Eaters had noticed you yet, but there was a huge amount of them, all around Andrew.

2322You had to use it. The Adrenaline, just like Thirteen had used. You focused on the idea, on that flow of energy you had to feel, on fueling that imagery in your brain.
2323
2324Then, in just that moment, something clicked.
2325
2326Everything clicked.
2327
2328You could see everything slow down. The yells and moans around you stretched out into a single agglomerate tone, as you leaped into the air to kick the masked man, then, slowly, everything started to accelerate again.
2329
2330In a sudden flash, you instantly propelled him into a wall, causing his body to cause a small crater in the cement with a loud boom, and splatter into flesh confetti in the surrounding area. You landed on the ground, hopped a few times as you recovered your balance, and then looked back at Andrew, who just stared at you, dumbstruck.
2331
2332"We're getting out of here." you told him, as you started to head toward the opposite direction of the impact.
2333
2334"Y-y-you've come back for me?" he stuttered. "Y-y-y"
2335
2336"Yes, come on! We don't have much time!" you exclaimed, and rushed to leave. The Eaters started to crowd around were the masked one landed, and started to moan and lurch towards the remains, attracted by the sound.
2337
2338---*---
2339
2340You both managed to get out, and rush back to the group who was returning back to the Stadium.
2341
2342"S-So quick?" Thirteen asked, surprised.
2343
2344"I figure out how to use the Adrenal" you chuckled. "Pretty amazing stuff, really."
2345
2346"...So. Quick?" he repeated, eyes opening wider.
2347
2348"I guess I have talent for this kind of stuff!" you laughed, still not entirely sure yourself how you managed to pull it off.
2349
2350"Th-Thank you Blake!" Sofia then butted in, joyful and relieved, and went to grab your hand, and shook it repeatedly, and then kissed it as if you were royalty.
2351
2352"It's ...really not that much, you don't need to-" your replied, but then, she kneeled in front of you, holding it above her head and her eyes were tight shut. "I-I will serve you well, Blake!" she said. "Y-you're a-an amazing person, you know that?!"
2353
2354"You're welcome, but this... uhm. Stand up, Sofia. It's all good." you replied.
2355
2356Obediently, she stood up, and nodded, and wiped some rouge tears off her face. "Okay Blake."

2363
2364Andrew remained silent throughout the entire trip home. The sneers and whispered comments were constant, and they were all about him, along the occasional underhanded joke about the new girl's bust. It was pretty obvious that they considered Andrew to be a traitor, but they held back, because of you. They were more approachable with Sofia though, and during some small chat, you discovered that she and Andrew had been friends for a very long time, but she seemed to avoid the topic of how exactly they had met.
2365
2366You arrived at the Stadium, and they both awaited their tests to become part of the group. Thirteen declined giving Andrew any service, so a different lead did it instead. Andrew proved quickly that he was pretty strong and resilient, allowing him to pass his test quickly, however, it was a different matter for Sofia. It was expected that, because of her size, it would be a piece of cake, however it was soon discovered that she was actually pretty much just as strong as Juana, which left many perplexed.
2367
2368However, Graham seemed particular open about the idea of having her join despite that. He tried to bring up the excuse that because she was affiliated to you in the way she was, that as long as she used shared your space and your food, she could be given the same status as any other 'object'.
2369
2370"We don't put any special rules on clothing or juice boxes" Graham underlined, as he spoke, trying to convince some others of the Stadium groups, a few of the which you recognized to be leaders of their own faction like Thirteen was. "Why should Sofia be given better treatment than that?"
2371
2372"However, Blake." he then said. "If you'd like me to make a caveat like that, I need something important. Her ovaries. Promise me that, and I'll promise you her stay."
2373
2374"My... Ovar...ies?" Sofia muttered. "I...but, why? Please, no! Please!"
2375
2376Roll 1d100
2377>Hardball Graham, and propose that you won't vouch for Andrew to stay, because otherwise, the controversy around him would likely lead to people eventually pushing him out, and Andrew is a decent value member because of his brawn.
2378>Threaten Graham with not giving him the medical tools you've brought, because extra free labor for him, which Sofia represents, is already plenty generous enough.
2379>Try to convince Sofia to donate them, and explain to her how Graham has been making breakthrough discoveries about the Eater phenomenon, and that they would be needed to contribute to this 'greater good'. 
2380>Dont accept any deal and opt to try to hide Sofia outside pf the Stadium for now.

2398"This obsession you have with ovaries is getting ridiculous. We'll get you ovaries in our hunts but taking them from our members when they've already passed tests is bullshit." you tell him.
2399
2400His eyes slightly widen, and blinks, but appears otherwise unfazed.
2401
2402"You've got to understand that it's for progress, Blake." he said, rising his chin and looking at you with a risen eyebrow. "You know how it is, right? Let's take Mary, for example. If it weren't for what I have done, she would've lost her humanity a long time ago. But you've seen her, haven't you? How she's different, how she is still whole, and with us."
2403
2404You narrowed your gaze. "If having people with us is so important, then don't overlook the morale side of things." you underlined. You made a pause, and gave him a good look. "What you're asking for is a massive sacrifice, and on top of that, asking for it when they've already passed their test. Its starting to become not worth it to stay."
2405
2406You leaned your head in with a knowing tilt. "Please. Reconsider, Graham."
2407
2408He stood there, adamant, staring at you as much as you were staring at him.
2409
2410"Very well, Blake." he then said. "I'll be generous, and let her stay, but note this: She isn't a member. She's purely your 'property'. Anyone else in the Stadium can freely attack and steal from her, and I won't say a thing. She will have no rights. If somehow she's torn into two, I'll make sure that she's given as much importance as a broken tissue paper, do I make myself clear, Blake?" 
2411
2412You nodded.
2413
2414"Good." he replied, irritated with insatisfaction, and with solid yanks, pushed the wheels of his stair to turn around and leave.

2420
2421After Sofia repeatedly holding the back of your hand with both of hers to her forehead, and sobbing gratitude, you were interrupted by Thirteen to go fetch your meal before it went cold. It was lunchtime.
2422
2423You went to the 'kitchen' area and retrieved a bowl of ramen which had been enriched with diced meat (which you heard to be human), and fresh vegetables, along a plastic fork and spoon. You were also told by one of Thirteen's guys who also got his food late that a couple of you had been assigned to clean out an old storage room section of the Stadium after mealtime, by Graham.
2424
2425You noticed that Chugger was in her regular spot, significantly larger than before, with a very dazed look on her face, and a pained expression as she continued to down more flesh. Andrew had been given food as well, and sitting alone, in a corner in the upper row of seats in the Stadium, and seemed to be picking out parts of the ramen bowl. Juana was chatting with Thirteen, both talking about their lives before the apocalypse, and how a lot has changed. Sofia was beside you, her gaze darting around the place often, nervously, but when you looked at her, she smiled with some relief.
2426
2427"Ah, I don't want any food" she then told you, looking at the bowl.
2428
2429"Are you sure?." you asked. You knew the value of food - you needed the energy to have the stamina to fight, run, and do all the crazy shit you had to pull off. And Sofia, just like you, would likely need the same.
2430
2431"Ah, well, maybe just a brocoli or noodles? You can have the meat." she nervously stated. "But, really, I'm fine. You need it more than me. You can eat it all, I don't mind."
2432
2433You rose your eyebrows, and then looked at the bowl, and then at her.
2434
2435Food?
2436>Eat it all.
2437>Give her some brocoli and noodles.
2438>Insist to share some of the human meat with her.

2445>Go talk to Thirteen and Juana, and learn more about them both.

2455
2456You have Sofia the veggies and some of the pasta to eat, and then, you went to go check on Chugger. Sofia flustered, and then scuttered off to follow you.
2457
2458Chugger drew the jar from her face and muttered "Billy...B...Blake!" as you approached with brimming, although fatigued enthusiasm. She then looked at Sofia, and squinted.
2459
2460"Sorry... Who are you again?" she asked the newcomer.
2461
2462"I'm Sofia." she greeted politely.
2463
2464"I'm Chug... Chelsea." the pigtailed one replied.
2465
2466"How's the eating going?" you asked.
2467
2468"Not... Good." she replied. "Ga...Graham keeps on telling me to eat more and more. Why do I have to eat so much?"
2469
2470"You're having a bit of a hard time remembering things." you clearly stated to her. You were worried about her mental health - you knew that larger Eaters started to lose it as they got larger, and Chugger was bloating up to an enormous volume. You wondered how she could actually stand and walk around in her state. "How do you feel? Alright?"
2471
2472Chugger looked aside. "I... Don't remember." she replied. "I think it's just a bit now that it's happening. Maybe I'm just a bit tired."
2473
2474"Hrm."
2475
2476"I-I think I'm okay though! Please don't worry Blake! I feel alright."
2477
2478"Hrmmm...". You continued to look a her with concern.
2479
2480"I-Is she your... Girlfriend?" Chugger then asked, worried.
2481
2482"Ah, no. Just a assistant. A helper." you clarified.
2483
2484She then nodded in reply, grinning in relief. "Aaah, okay, okay." she added.
2485
2486---*---
2487
2488After you finished eating, you went to clear out that room. After pulling out a bunch of hurdles and stacks of cones, you and the rest were lead to bring in several mattresses and a wooded cupboard. Within, you found there to be a lot of formal clothing, the exact same kind Graham tended to walk around in. There was a bunch of oversized and modified woman's clothes as well, for Chugger, you assumed. The Midwifery kit had been left inside as well, and the Eaters helping you out often made comments about how this was all looking like a really fancy bedroom, and how they'd love to have a place like this for themselves, as well as guesses towards what this room would be for, which Graham hadn't explained to them.
2489

2494
2495After clearing out the last things and dusting off a bit here and there, the room was ready. Graham soon approached you, and put a hand on your shoulder.
2496
2497"I've seen how you've been diligently befriending Chugger for me." he said. "And I can see the excellent results, Blake, I can see how she trusts you. You're a fussy one sometimes, and you've drawn my patience with you thin, but when it comes to work, you shine, I have to admit."
2498
2499"It's time." he then said. "Tell her to come into the new room. The time for her to stop eating and fulfill her true duty has come."
2500
2501"What is she going to do?" you asked. "This looks like a place for delivering babies for something. The beds, the tools. All of it."
2502
2503"Well, maybe." he dismissed "We can talk about it later, first things first. I've got work to do as well, you know." he then said, slightly amused.

2516You decide to lead Chugger to the room
2517
2518"It's time, Chelsea" you tell her.
2519
2520"I-it is?" she asked, as she dropped the jar. "...finally...?!"
2521
2522"Yes." you told her.
2523
2524"But what will I do? I... I just go inside? What... What am I supposed to do?"
2525
2526"Graham knows." you replied. "He's a great man, you know. He's got a lot of progress made, and together, you can make progress to really help humanity. You'll be part of the solution, to progress that the Stadium, and eventually everyone, will need."
2527
2528She nodded, looking at you amazed. "O-Ok."
2529
2530---*---
2531
2532Via a superb feat of charisma, you managed to get Chugger to blindly follow you, and as you settled her in, you convinced Graham that you needed time and space to settle everything for him perfectly. He told you that he would give you any margin you needed, as long as you'd provide him with an excellent result as you have done until now. He was in the palm of your hand.
2533
2534Chugger was now inside the room, with Graham waiting outside, patiently. You had your staff, the morphine and the other drugs with you as well.
2535
2536"I... I just, stay here?" she wondered, sitting on the rows of mattresses that have been laid out for her. "...will...will you still visit me?"
2537
2538It was all very clear to you now. The equipment, feeding Chugger and her specific development, the ovary issues. Chugger had been groomed to become a broodmare - baby factory. Specifically, of Graham's own offspring, hence why his clothing was in here too. He was going to fuck her, either to produce some kind of super-baby, produce babies en masse, or something else of the sort. You suspected that Chugger would need to actually learn how to use her super-fertility abilities granted by her consumption though, just like anyone else has to learn how to use the Adrenal gland. 
2539
2540Humans were the most valuable resource right now. They were the reason why Eaters are Eaters, the reason why people hunt, the reason why people hide, the reason why the world has turned into the place it has.
2541
2542And Graham was looking to cheat the system by creating his own mass supply.

2571
2572I'll stick around a bit for feedback/questions. Woo!
2573
2574-------------------------
2575
2576"Chugger" you tell her in a near whisper so that Graham can't listen. "There's something very important I want you to know."
2577
2578She looked at you attentively and nodded.
2579
2580"Graham is fucking messed up." you started off. "And I think I know exactly what you're going to be here for."
2581
2582She blinked, and her eyes widened in expectation.
2583
2584"The bed, the birthing stuff, Graham's clothes here... You're going to be fucked by him, for sure, and given his obsession with ovaries and the way you're growing, I'm pretty convinced that you're going to be his baby factory."
2585
2586"..."
2587
2588"No... No, no, no!" she started to exclaim, and you quickly put a finger on your lips to signal her to be quiet.
2589
2590"You're... Lying!" she then hissed under her breath, and tears started for form in her eyes. "Graham would've told me! He said that I was going to be happy, that I wouldn't have any problems anymore!"
2591
2592You sighed. "I know it might be hard to understand, but thi-"
2593
2594"Th-this...snff... is all I've got, Blake!" she blurted out, as she clumsily wiped her face with her hand. "I... Th-this has to b-b-be...b-b..."
2595
2596"Chelsea. Do you want to become a baby factory and be knocked up by Graham for the rest of your life?" you stated.
2597
2598"N-No, NO!" she sniffled.
2599
2600"Then listen very well now." you replied. "I'll get you out of here, but I need your help, alright?"
2601
2602She nodded, as she wiped her face again, but still couldn't stop crying.
2603
2604"When Graham comes in here to fuck you, grab him. With your arms, your legs - grab him. Then I'll come in and kill him, got it?" you instructed.
2605
2606"I-I can't do tha-!" she cried, and started to collapse again into tears, but you interrupted her.
2607
2608"Chelsea." you then said. "I'm not going to leave people behind. I rescued Juana, didn't I? I rescued Andrew, didn't I? Killing Graham means the end of your journey and expectations with him, but it's not the end of everything. You still got me, Thirteen, and everyone else here who cares for you, who have been also totally fucked up by all of this."
2609
2610She nodded, still agitated, but calmer.
2611
2612" Alright." you then sighed out. "So, remember. Grab him. Got it?"
2613
2614She nodded again.
2615
2616"Good."

2623
2624Graham entered after you left the room. You waited for a couple minutes, patiently, with your staff in your grip.
2625
2626You inhaled, and tried to control your breath, as you mentally visualized how you would strike him.
2627
2628"NOW, BLAKE!" you heard Chugger yell.
2629
2630You barged the door open, and found Graham bound by Chugger's arms and legs. He was nude from the waist down, and you could see that he was missing his left leg - a prosthetic was laying on the floor near his wheelchair.
2631
2632You lunged and aimed the staff to his head, and with a clean metallic strike, you heard how it hit him.
2633
2634But it didn't pierce his skull. It just scratched his skin, causing a trickle of bleeding.
2635
2636You took a step back, and struck him again, with the same result.
2637
2638"Blake, what are you doing?" you could hear him chuckle. "I thought you were a loyal worker, why this, why now?"
2639
2640Then, Chugger yelled in pain, as he seemed to stab into her bicep with his hand. It went stiff, and he slid himself out, to sit on the mattress, as the girl continued to cry in agonizing pain as she held her frozen arm.
2641
2642https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGy45tGyDCA
2643
2644"It's futile, Blake." he then added, and stood up on one leg, to then have a massive bone-spike emerge from his missing limb to form a peg-leg. You had seen a very similar technique before - it was the same one the masked man at the hospital had used on his arm.
2645
2646"You just can't kill me." Graham stated.

2649>Kill Chugger.
2650>Flee, and escape the Stadium.

2654>Write in.

2656-------------------------
2657
2658>92
2659
2660You immediately ran up charge and push Graham towards the wall. When you struck him, you could feel how hard his entire body was, but then, it suddenly softened up back up to normal as your inertia died off and you both were further off.
2661
2662"Get out, quick! Get Thirteen and the others!" You telled to Chelsea, who, in her pain, quickly stood up and and did as you told her.
2663
2664Graham looked at you.
2665
2666"You learn quick." he mentioned. "But you can't learn how to beat me, you don't have access to the knowle-"
2667
2668You thrust your staff into his chest, and it merely landed on him, with Graham unfazed.
2669
2670"-dge...." he muttered. "See, Blake, yo-"
2671
2672You immediately focused on your Adrenal Gland, and aimed at his eyes, and pieced it into an explosion of blood and pus.
2673
2674He didn't move. For a moment, he was completely silent, dumbfounded. He rose a hand to his wound, trembling. "But...How?" he asked. "You... Where did you learn?"
2675
2676"Hospital." you admitted, now that the cat was out of the box. "Another doctor, like you. Something about 'flesh to bone'. I figured that your flesh is invulnerable, but everything else isn't."
2677
2678He chuckled. "This is what I get for trying to have colleagues." he stated, as the bleeding continued profusely. "Really, my fault. Do you understand now why I had to keep things a secret? You don't know how to handle the truth, Blake, neither does anyone else. I'm here to carry that burden. Let me do what I must do. Why do you have to be so selfish, and think only about your own profit?"
2679
2680"Fuck you, Blake." you said, and pierced out his other eye too, and then, smashed in his nose as well.
2681
2682Graham stumbled, and held the wall. "Is... Is this how you're going to leave me? Is this how you treat the person who has taken you in, given you food, water and shelter? Is this how you repay me, Blake? Are you really this ungrateful?"
2683
2684"You've ruined me, Blake." he then added. "You've ruined it for everyone. The only chance to find a solution to this world, in a timely fashio-."
2685
2686You stabbed him in the forehead, piercing his skull. He couldn't see it coming, he couldn't react. Soothingly, the metal tube penetrated into his cranium, and gently, his body went limp.
2687
2688"G-Graham.. GRAHAM IS DEAD!" you then heard one of the kitchen ladies yell behind you. You turned around, to find a small audience that had grouped up.
2689
2690"GRAHAM IS DEAD!" you then heard more and more people yell in panic, some others in enthusiasm.

2700Within minutes, the Stadium had devolved into total chaos. People were stealing everything they could, attacking each other, or fleeing. A lot of people wanted to be new boss, and whenever some seemed to be in the lead of convincing the others to ascend, they' be attacked and eaten by a mob of others, and the cycle would continue endlessly. Thirteen was within the brawling as well, constantly trying to get ahead of the others, but stuck in the constant fighting, confident that he would eventually win, somehow. You couldn't find Juana at first sight either, but she had to be in here somewhere.
2701
2702"SOFIA!" you could hear Andrew yell out from further away in the Stadium. "We don't have to be here anymore, the Stadium is over! We can go back to the Church!"
2703
2704You looked at her. Didn't they say they were independents before?
2705
2706"C'mon, let's go, now!" Andrew demanded, and quickly approached you both.
2707
2708"No, Andrew... I owe him! Plus, the Stadium isn't over, the people here aren't going to disappear!" she yelled back.
2709
2710"You'll never listen to me!" Andrew yelled back "You're going to die here, we can't do more of what they've told us, the mission is over, finished, we can leave!"
2711
2712"Andrew, no, staaaaah!!" she replied, until she was suddenly being tugged away by the large man.

2733
2734You immediately left off to look for Graham's studies. You were lucky, because the first room you came into was a small office-looking one with Graham's coat hanging on a chair. This had to be it.
2735
2736You found several notebooks, about five of them were filled in with drawings and some odd alphabet you couldn't understand, and the others were empty. You also managed to find, crumbled up, what looked to be drafts of letters of some kind written in the odd alphabet, and on the desk, a letter made in regular writing. It was full of cheeky, although loving obscenities, directed towards some woman, which given the content, you assumed to be one of the kitchen ladies.
2737
2738With the drafts and the actual letter, you believed that you could figure out how Graham's alphabet worked. You took the filled-in notebooks and the letters and you stuffed them into your backpack, and left.
2739
2740---*---
2741
2742You then went to recover Sofia. The crowds where running all over the place, it was a full blown riot. Some groups tried to police the others, but they were met with immediate opposition and indignation.
2743
2744You found Andrew trying to maneuver through the crowds towards the exit, carrying a struggling Sofia over his shoulder.
2745
2746You didn't bother to talk to him, you took your staff and stabbed him behind the knee, and when he turned around to react, he was met with a metal tube to the skull. Sofia took that opportunity to slide herself off down, give you a quick thanks, and then run off alongside you through the crowds. You managed to move through the sea people quicker than Andrew, largely because of his cumbersome size.
2747
2748You found Thirteen to be alright, still brawling against others in the field, managing to outmaneuver people with ease, but still not actually winning, just not losing.
2749
2750You saw that Mary, the "domesticated" Eater had managed to get out of her chains, and had taken a large bite out of one of Chugger's teats, which was now bleeding profusely. Juana was nearby, trying to look for people, until she found you and waved frantically. She was visibly injured as well, as her shoulder was red with bleeding.
2751
2752Sofia tugged on you. "We can go to the Church, or to the Hospital mafia's den" she said. "I... I'm from the Church. I can get at least you and Juana in. You both look normal."
2753
2754"What do you mean you're from the Church!?" you barked back.
2755
2756"I'm not going to explain now!" she replied. "But it's better than staying here, don't you think!!"

2768
2769You rush towards Mary, and with your staff in your hand, you ran-climbed up her back, and once you were at the level of her shoulders, you stabbed her in the nape with the metal tube, and as she roared out in pain, you pulled it out, and then stabbed her again, causing her yell to go faint as she giant collapsed and fell to the ground. Juana reacted quickly, and had dashed out and gotten blankets to wrap Chugger's wound in, which you both used to quickly and successfully bandage her.
2770
2771You, Sofia, Chugger and Juana were all grouped up. However, Chugger, due to her size and injuries, was the biggest liability right now. Thirteen continued to brawl and insist to claim the Stadium. There were about only ten people left, however, a couple of them had started to ally up with each other, and it seemed that the final rounds would be decided mostly out of politics, not brute force, and Thirteen was losing heavily.
2772
2773From what they were yelling, you understood that Thirteen was either going to stay here in the Stadium despite the chaos and continue as a high-ranking officer of some kind, or claim Graham's former position if it was the last thing he did. He wasn't going to let go of what he had fought so much during all of this time to earn.
2774
2775A large amount of people were leaving through the Stadium's doors. Knowing that Eaters typically don't approach crowds of people, you guessed that it was a good chance to leave, if you were to opt for that choice.

2793
2794You dashed to the site of the fights and focused on your Adrenal Gland, and then, time seemed to nearly stop, as your body seemed to freeze and go stiff.
2795
2796Everything seemed to be at a pause.
2797
2798You had never achieved such an intense effect, but you decided to make the most use out of it, now wasn't the time to doubt it. You pulled yourself a rivaling Eater, and punched him away from Thirteen in slow-motion, and then, turned to another one charging forth. You felt how time was starting to return to normal again. and you kicked him away, just as the sounds around you started to get louder, everything started to quicken, until in one crescendo, it returned to normal.
2799
2800The man you had punched was sent flying away, crashing into other people, and eventually stopping to form a clump, and the person you kicked off had ricocheted off the ground and had flown into the plastic chairs of the stadium, breaking several of them as he didn't stop until he reached the wall on the other side.
2801
2802You tried to walk to Thirteen, but you felt your leg and arm muscles be entirely cramped up, so you stumbled, hopped a few steps, then stood next to him, then looked around.
2803
2804The people here weren't fighting anymore, and instead, they were staring, spooked, at what you had just pulled off.
2805
2806Nobody was talking, just silently trying to understand what had just happened.
2807
2808Thirteen took a bit to recover his cool, but he was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat "The Stadium will now be lead BY ME!" he declared. "Antonio and Margret, get your people to fucking calm down and stand here in the center field with the rest of us. Whoever defects, defects, whoever wants to keep on being a jackass will have to deal with all three of us together, got it?"
2809
2810"This fuckery ends now" he concluded.
2811
2812"What about me?" another guy called out. "Yeah, and me? I had a group too!"
2813
2814"Dude, they're either dead or they've fucking left" Thirteen pointed out. "We don't have enough people to have as many factions as we had before, join me, Antonio or Margret, and stick to the plan, got it?"
2815
2816They reluctantly nodded, and got to work.

2823
2824Only a fifth of the Stadium people remained after everything settled down. The rest had been eaten, killed or have left. Half of those people were injured, and a few were in a serious state, which Antonio's faction - a merge of pseudo-medical staff (mostly people who happened to know first aid, or had been trained to know it) and the kitchen crew, attended. Antonio himself was a chipper, easy-going pharmacist, who easy wove through the masses of people, communicating with the people he was in charge of with reinvigorating enthusiasm and hope. Margret was a large, serious-looking retired police chief with a commanding voice, who managed to herd the mish-mash of ruffians and the rest of the general populace, effectively being in charge of the largest group.
2825
2826Thirteen, now the de facto leader, arranged for his group to be in charge of general administration and management. Sorting out food, supplies, human resources, etc.
2827
2828The Stadium looked fairly deserted, and it had been made a total mess. Several chairs where missing, blood was everywhere, and some people were looking around for missing belongings, while several others were clumping all of the broken chairs into a pile, cleaning up the gore or trying to repair things back into place.
2829
2830---*---
2831
2832Night arrived, and after a long day, you all had a late supper. It was a warm stew made from a mishmash of what was left - a lot of the food had been stolen. A couple people were eating outside as usual, but others where eating at their makeshift homes, ready to tuck themselves in bed and try to forget about this whole mess. You had a fairly quick meal with Thirteen, and chatted about the fight and your adventures until now, until you returned to your home.
2833
2834You had been assigned to stay at Graham's old room, partially because you had his documents, partially because you killed him, partially because Thirteen wanted to reward your hard work with one of the better rooms of the Stadium.
2835
2836Sofia, as you sorted out the documents, yawned loudly. You looked back, and found her to be only in underwear, laid in on the mattress, and lifted her head up to look at you, needily. What quickly caught your mind was that she actually had a bra of her size - something like that had to be custom-made or something, or she had to be lucky enough to have found something of the sort in the city, something you considered to be near impossible.
2837
2838"So, I guess you're going to sleep here with me, huh." you mentioned neutrally, as you turned back to the papers and made some final sorting. You fully understood she was making an advance on you, but you still had things to do.
2839
2840"...Uh-huh⁓" she nodded, trying to put on a cute voice.
2841
2842"I've got to bath." you stated. "I'm still covered in blood. I'll be back though."
2843
2844"Ah... Okay." she replied, a bit sad.

2852You went to the field and then into the player's lockers and bathrooms, and started to do work on scrubbing yourself and cleaning out the blood and dirt out of your skin.
2853
2854Then, you heard footsteps, and then, Juana's voice.
2855
2856"Blake?" she called out.
2857
2858"Yeah?" you replied.
2859
2860"I'm... Coming in, if it's alright!" she said. "I-I figured you might need some help!"
2861
2862You chuckled to yourself softly. Juana too? You did want to get some good sleep, and having a nice time with either of them wasn't something urgent, but you figured that you could enjoy the company of at least one of them tonight.

2899"Sure, no problem" you replied in a cheery tone, as you nonchalantly scrubbed your ribs, until Juana arrived, finding you nude.
2900
2901You turned around, finding her staring at you red-cheeked, her eyes darting around at every detail.
2902
2903"Come one, get undressed" you chuckled. "Help me out."
2904
2905You looked at your groin with your fists on your hips. "I've got a small problem" you joked.
2906
2907She nodded frantically.

2913After a generous quickie with Juana and cleaning yourself up, you returned to your room with just the towel wrapped around your hips and your clothing over your forearm, feeling like a champ.
2914
2915As you entered through the door, you found Sofia with her hand in her panties, to then immediately curl to a side.
2916
2917"I-I... I d-d-!" she started to stammer, looking away.
2918
2919"Sofia, no worries. I got you with this one." you stated with a cheeky smile, as you massaged one of your hands with the other. "Don't forget I'm an amazing handyman."
2920
2921She immediately turned to you with an angry pout while trying to suppress her chuckling as she bounced slightly in the bed.

2926
2927The next morning you woke up with some sore scratch-marks on your back and Sofia's face nuzzled into your elbow, sleeping softly. Gently, you slid out, leaving her to continue resting as you yawned and got up to stretch and check out the Stadium, while reminiscing how you laid the two girls.

2932
2933Thirteen was at the middle of the field, yelling at people "Good Job" or "Go do that" and the sort, as people continued to work on repairing the Stadium. 
2934
2935"You missed breakfast!" he yelled at you, then pointed to a lady, and then back at you. She promptly handed over a loaf of stale garlic bread, which you started to eat after thanking her. It was hard, and it took you effort to crunch it in your mouth to then chew.
2936
2937Thirteen then took a quick jog towards you, and then started to speak in a regular tone.
2938
2939"Slept well, Blake?" he asked.
2940
2941"Yeah, in a way." you admitted.
2942
2943"Ha, I'm glad" he chuckled, and patted you on the shoulder. "Also, Blake, I'm going to need you to scout and fetch supplies as soon as possible. We've got much less people, nearly no weapons, and some of the doors have been fucked - they can't lock. If some other group decides to come and raid us now, we're screwed."
2944
2945"But we don't have anything." you replied, as you swallowed down some bread. "Why would they bother?"
2946
2947"Yes we do." he replied, and pinched your forearm. "Flesh."
2948
2949"Margret knows some good places to get stuff." he then added. "You can go with her and some reinforcements in an hour."
2950
2951"Gotcha." you replied. 
2952
2953---*---
2954
2955Thirteen left you to finish your breakfast, and you had some time to arrange things before leaving.

2973-------------------------
2974
2975You task Sofia with trying to figure out Graham's ciphers who flicks your ass before you leave, and then, you went off to check with Chugger.
2976
2977She was sitting at her usual spot, but she wasn't eating. Instead, she was holding a spot at her hip, with a smile. When you arrived, she wove her hands at you with glee and then she showed her cheek and pointed at it.
2978
2979"Kiss." she said.
2980
2981"What." you replied.
2982
2983"M-My hus...boyfriend has to give me a kiss!" she insisted.
2984
2985"I'm not your boyfriend." you chuckled, and then rose a finger. "And I'd do it on the lips, not your cheeks."
2986
2987"Where did you get that idea?" you asked.
2988
2989"W-we did it... last night..:" she said, and shyly held a fist to her mouth. "D-Don't you remember?"
2990
2991You stared at her in silence.
2992
2993"No, we didn't." you said. And even if you had, you would've used protection.
2994
2995"T-Then how do you explain that I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed. She beckoned for you hand, and then took it and positioned it on her hip, and then, pushed it inwards a bit.
2996
2997"Wait, the baby will move." she said with enthusiastic expectation. "Just... Wait a bit... Ah! There, you noticed it, didn't you!"
2998
2999You did feel a minuscule movement. Something hard had twitched, somehow, inside of her. However, it wasn't centered, it was on one side.
3000
3001"Since when have you felt this?" you asked, ghosted.
3002
3003"This morning. I... I'm so happy." she said, as she gently rubbed the odd spot. "Im... I'm going to have a... baby..."
3004
3005You stopped for a moment to think if Graham had done anything to her, but you had seen him on top of her and you had seen her after he was removed. There was no trace of him having knocked her up, nor would there have been any time for it to happen. Nobody has had sex with her - so how was this happening?
3006
3007"How's your arm going?" you then asked.
3008
3009"Antonio says that it will go away on its own." she mentioned. "He says that some of my muscle fibers in my arm have turned into bone, but that the extra bone will like go weak and then just go away from not using them, and then my arm will heal and be as normal again."
3010
3011You nodded. 
3012
3013"Does Antonio know about your pregnancy?" you asked.
3014
3015"Yeah." she replied. "But he thinks its just a random deformation from eating so much. But.. But I know it's not so! It's... It's my baby!"
3016
3017The "baby"
3018>Get Antonio to urgently give it a better look.
3019>Let it be, and then go with Margret to go to the scheduled expedition for resources and scouting.
3020>Try to squish and "kill" whatever is within her yourself, and then go with Margret.
3021
3022>Write in
3023
3024-------------------------
3025
3026You immediately left to look for Antonio. He was busy tending the wounded, and after you insisted, he finally complied to come.
3027
3028---*---
3029
3030"How's the arm going, Chelsea?" he asked in his usual chipper tone. "Feeling a bit better?"
3031
3032She nodded.
3033
3034"Alright then. I'm going to check on that small issue of yours, alright?" he then continued. Chelsea nodded again, and rose her hip.
3035
3036"It's a baby." she clarified.
3037
3038"Aaah, we'll see about that." Antonio replied, skeptic.
3039
3040He dug his fingers in, and gently massaged around. Sometimes he dug deeper, putting her into momentary pain, but he quickly defused the situation by saying that "I'm qualified for this".
3041
3042After that, he gestured for you to come with him, and he spoke with you in private.
3043
3044"Its a tooth, some hair, possibly more." he said. "It's not a child in there, it's not a fetus. Just a mish-mash of random tissues, in her ovary. That's why it's off-center."
3045
3046"So it's not a baby, then?" you asked nervously.
3047
3048"It's not a baby." he said. "It's a tumor. A teratoma, most likely. It's... Like a tumor made of random things. Harmless, really. It's not like most cancerous tumors you hear of."
3049
3050"Teeth and hair... Growing from a tumor?"
3051
3052"Yeah." he replied "Teratomas are pretty bizarre. Really interesting too. I'm guessing that it appeared from her overdeveloped ovaries or something. It's not uncommon for stuff like this to happen. You've seen the giants outside, yeah?"
3053
3054"Yeah, but she's telling me that it happened last night. I think a growth like that would've happened after eating, not? She wasn't eaten anything, from what I know."
3055
3056Antonio went silent.
3057
3058"Maybe... In the same way that you use your Adrenal gland to produce all of that Adrenaline and such,
3059
3060Chugger is making her ovaries grow these tumors. Maybe its linked to some psychological pregnancy or something. She's gone through some serious stuff." he added.
3061
3062"Should we take it out? Can you operate her?" you asked.
3063
3064"I'm just a chemist, man. Pharmacy stuff. I don't know how to do surgeries or anything." he replied. "Plus, it's totally benign. We can just leave it, honestly. Nothing is going to happen."
3065
3066"Yeah, but if she's triggering the growth of the teratoma on her own, it might get really serious, don't you think?" you said.
3067
3068He nodded. "That's why I'm telling her it's not a baby. Just a tumor." he replied. "But she won't believe me. What can I do, Blake? Seriously?"
3069
3070You sighed heavily.
3071
3072"Alright, thank you Antonio. Thank you for checking it out." you told him.
3073
3074"No problem." the chemist said. "Just, take care."
3075
3076---*---
3077
3078You were already plenty late to join Margret's group, so you figured you might as well finish up things here.
3079
3080Chugger
3081>Try to convince her that it's not an actual baby, and just a tumor, to halt the teratoma.
3082>Let her believe its a baby for now, and see how far her psychological pregnancy can aid her ovary ability.
3083
3084Then
3085>Help with the repairs inside
3086>Help Antonio with the wounded and the food.

3096I thought players would go against him but I was surprised to see a lot of people actually going along him, which was fun.
3097
3098>>683063
3099I actually have a lot of free time and I could run for several days non-stop (like I've done for 50% Human quest, where I ran it for 3 days straight which was SO enjoyable), but the problem is thinking of interesting things to have happen. Right now I honestly don't know what to put as >options for the next QMing post yet, and it will take me a while to figure it out. Like, I could continue QMing for 3-4 more hours today, but I just don't know yet what to write, so I can't.
3100
3101I generally start at around 10PM and then run until 4-5AM, spanish time.

3104
3105-------------------------
3106
3107After Antontio left, you stayed with Chugger, who was gently kneading the spot on her hip.
3108
3109"It's not a baby, Chelsea." you told her. "It's a Teratoma."
3110
3111She shook her head frantically.
3112
3113"Chelsea, you're having memory problems. Or something." you insisted. "We haven't had sex. You haven't had sex with anyone."
3114
3115"Y-yes we have!" she stammered.
3116
3117"Girl, if we have had sex, if you have had it with me, there's no fucking way you would've forgotten it." you chuckled. "No, but in all seriousness, it never happened. We've never slept together. Ask the people around. They've seen where we've been."
3118
3119She then looked aside, gloomy.
3120
3121"Then... I'm not pregnant?" she asked.
3122
3123"You're not pregnant." you confirmed.
3124
3125---*---
3126
3127You left off to help Antonio with the wounded. There was a hall in the Stadium with rows of yoga mats where people were laying down, resting, and people going up and down, tending the several wounded's needs. You volunteered to join in, and were soon assigned to changing some easy bandages from different people.
3128
3129You noticed about Antonio that while he was able to put himself into a very chipper and charismatic state to talk with most people, and the people he talked to loving him, he didn't seem invested in anyone beyond that. He didn't talk because he liked to talk, he talked because he had to. You noticed that especially when he took a few breaks. We would go take a smoke - alone. He wouldn't join up with anyone else even when asked to, and just give them an excuse instead.
3130
3131(Cont)
3132
3133-------------------------
3134
3135---*---
3136
3137Thirteen arrived to check on you and ask why you hadn't left with Margret, and you explained that you had that emergency with Chugger. Thirteen didn't seem too pleased, but he was more annoyed with the circumstance than being actually disappointed at you. "Thank your telling me." he concluded, before leaving. "Let me know if I can help with anything."
3138
3139---*---
3140
3141It was lunchtime, and you had a bowlful of rice with human meatballs scavenged from the corpses of the people who have died in the riot and sweet corn. You saw that Juana and Sofia were talking in Spanish - apparently Juana was a Mexican and Sofia was Argentinian. You didn't understand much Spanish aside from some basics, but you could deduce that they were getting along well and sharing the harsh experiences they have endured with some jokes here and there. Thirteen interrupted them to ask them to speak in English, and they promptly complied, fluently resuming their conversation and gossiping.
3142
3143Things seemed to be actually fine for once. Relatively speaking. There was a sense of stability, despite people agonizing in the medic hall and the repair people paranoid about getting a giant crashing in anytime soon. You had some time to take a breather, and do your own thing.
3144
3145Roll 1d100, best of first three
3146>Practice some sparring with Thirteen or a volunteer.
3147>Talk with Chelsea and try to help her learn to control her overdeveloped organ by extrapolating your Adrenal gland knowledge.
3148>Try to make a device with Stadium equipment, such the lighting or the megaphones (Write-in what exactly)
3149>Make out/Have sex with Juana/Sofia. (Choose one)
3150
3151>Write in.
3152
3153-------------------------
3154
3155>60
3156
3157You decide to go help Chelsea with her abilities. While she was reluctant at first, you managed to convince her to actually take it seriously, because her health was on the line if it someone triggered on her own again, because of how random teratomas could be and how her current abilities could boost them.
3158
3159Semi-receptive, you managed to give her the theoretical basics for her to understand and then practice on her own. 
3160
3161---*---
3162
3163"You slept with Sofia?!" Juana barked at you after you gave Chelsea her lesson.
3164
3165You looked side to side.
3166
3167And then at her.
3168
3169"Well, yeah." you admitted. "What about it?"
3170
3171She huffed out in indignation as she looked around and then put her hands on her hips to glare at you.
3172
3173"Weren't you like... Going to go after me or something?!" she asked.
3174
3175You shrugged. "Well, yeah. But Sofia too. And I don't think we're really at any kind of stage or anything, it was just some relief for the both of us."
3176
3177"J-just relief? You... you don't see me as something more?" she asked.
3178
3179"Friend-wise you're pretty much the closest thing I have." you admitted. "Romantically? Things could work out, yeah, but, again. We haven't even gone on a date or anything."
3180
3181"I-Is it because I'm not..." she started off, and gestured a massive bosom with her hands "Like her?! Y-you know that I'm not going to eat if that's the kind of girl you're looking for!"
3182
3183You showed your palm "That isn't the issue, Juana."
3184
3185"Then what is it!?"
3186
3187>"It's complicated", and try to simmer it all down to delay the issue to give yourself a chance to get Sofia's view on this.
3188>Apologize, and tell her that you misunderstood the situation and the opportunity and lead it to places you shouldn't have.
3189>Tell her that you're actually romantically interested in her, but you're interested in Sofia too. You want both.
3190
3191>Write in.
3192
3193-------------------------
3194
3195"Sorry, Juana." you told her "I was honestly stressed after the coup, and figured we could use some relief. I misunderstood what you seemed to imply back there. I kinda lead things to where I shouldn't."
3196
3197She nodded. 
3198
3199"I'm glad to hear that." she admitted.
3200
3201"I... hope you do it right next time." she said. "I don't want you to think I'm some... slut or anything."
3202
3203"Aah, oho. No worries, Juana. Really." you chuckled. "You're one of the greatest people I know."
3204
3205She blushed and turned around.
3206
3207"Well, see you later then." she then said stoically, and started to march off. "You know where I am if you need anything."
3208
3209"I actually don't." you admitted.
3210
3211She turned around and looked at you surprised. Then she pointed to a little cardboard hut further off in the Stadium.
3212
3213"Over there." she said. "That's my house."
3214
3215"Gotcha." you said. "I'll see if I can arrange a date sometime."
3216
3217Juana nodded and then blushed harder while lowering her head and stiffly marched off to her home, giving you no reply.
3218
3219---*---
3220
3221You returned to your room, and started to tidy around. You still had Graham's clothing in here, and you figured you could arrange things to keep it as well as make space for your and Sofia's things as well.
3222
3223"Ah, Hello...." Sofia greeted, looking at you from the desk, cheerful.
3224
3225"I saw you had a, well. Rough time with Juana." she mentioned.
3226
3227"Yeah." you mentioned, wondering how she actually knew that. "But you seem cool with it."
3228
3229"Well, yeah." she admitted. "Like, it's what some people too. It's normal. Juana's just, well. Old-fashioned I guess."
3230
3231You sighed. "Well, yeah. She's very nice th-"
3232
3233"I love you." Sofia then stated.
3234
3235You paused and looked at her. Her face was flush red, but she adamantly remained looking at you, but with both her hands clamped behind her knees.
3236
3237"Okay." you replied, not entirely sure how to respond to that.
3238
3239"K-Kiss me." she then pleaded, and started to approach you, and then put her hands on your chest to then look up and stare at you lovingly.
3240
3241You had to stop to think for a moment, but Sofia made it difficult. While her breasts where a bit unsettling, her natural aroma had a certain magnetic pull which Juana's didn't have, her skin was soft like a baby's bottom, taut, brimming with health and youth.
3242
3243Juana was just normal. She wasn't nearly as carnally appealing. She was missing an arm, and while she hadn't told you her age, by knowing her well, could tell she had to be at least a few years older than you. But she was immensely noble, and someone who you could trust so well.
3244
3245You were split on how to handle this. Given Sofia's current face and body language, you knew that she was going to try to lead you both into having sex again.
3246
3247>Go for it. If Juana has any issues, you can deal with it later.
3248>Tell her that you won't, that you'd like to commit to someone else.
3249>Tell Sofia that you'd love to, but that you'd like to solve a couple things first.
3250
3251>Write in

3267
3268-------------------------
3269
3270You peck her on the forehead.
3271
3272"I'd love to Sofia, but not now." you told her. "I've still got an awful lot to solve first."
3273
3274She lowered her head, then nodded.
3275
3276"That's a 'yes', then?" she asked in a soft voice.
3277
3278"It's a 'there's an Apocalypse outside and I still need to sort things ou-'"
3279
3280She pecked you on the chin.
3281
3282"Alright so -" you said
3283
3284She pecked you again.
3285
3286"Ok, alright, so - could you stop that?" you chuckled.
3287
3288"No." she teased back, and did it again.
3289
3290You sighed, half-amused half-concerned. Then she did it again, on your neck.
3291
3292"Just don't do it in public, OK?" you noted.
3293
3294She did it again.
3295
3296"OK." she replied in a cheery tone.
3297
3298---*---
3299
3300"Hey, Blake." Antonio asked, as you left the room. "I've been wondering if you could talk to Thirteen about something. He listens to you."
3301
3302"Ah. What is it?" 
3303
3304"It's about how human meat is distributed." he said. "I've got people who have kidney failure, or their thyroids out of whack - if they eat some of that, perhaps they can train with the enhancement, and fix it. So, I'd like to start using Eating as a treatment. A cure."
3305
3306Your eyes widened.
3307
3308"Yeah, I know. It's still an experimental idea, but hey, if it works... It could be better treatment that any medicine we can loot." he continued.
3309
3310"I know that Eating is controversial. I had a, uh... Discussion with Juana - she's close to you, right? Yeah, didn't go too well. But still, Blake, I believe you're different - I really think this can do good for people! What do you think?"
3311
3312>Yes. Support the use of Eating for medical purposes.
3313>Yes, but only as a last resort.
3314>No. Don't support the use of Eating for general medical purposes.
3315
3316Then?
3317
3318>Talk to Thirteen about hunting policies (hunting humans, or just giants/eaters, etc)
3319>Ask Sofia about how she managed to belong to the Church, while clearly looking like an Eater, as well as her "Mission".
3320>Suggest to Thirteen recruiting people from the Church or doing some kind of merge or alliance.
3321
3322>Write in
3323
3324-------------------------
3325
3326"Yeah. I think it can actually go well." you said. "I'll talk it out with him."
3327
3328Antonio patted your shoulder and smiled. "Thank you! Man, I really think this can be something, you know?"
3329
3330---*---
3331
3332You decided to approach Thirteen during dinner. As you were being served food, you noticed how both Juana and Sofia weren't being served any of the flesh filet that you were given today, as a few other people, and a couple even asked to not be given any human meat. They opted to only get the salad and rice.
3333
3334You sat with the redhead, who called off eating with some young lady after you mentioned wanting to talk to him. After some smallchat about how things seemed to have calmed down, you brought up the subject of Eating for medical purposes.
3335
3336"Yeah, we can do that." he said. "Just redistribution, yeah? Simple enough."
3337
3338He didn't seem to mind it at all.
3339
3340"And, on the subject of Eating, what are our hunting policies right now?" you asked.
3341
3342"Well, Graham used to have a flat out 'anyone who isn't a member is up for killing' policy." Thirteen noted. "I want to change that to simply 'Giants'. It puts us behind in the Eating arms race, yeah, but if we play our cards and resources right, I believe that we can go just fine. Eat smarter, not Eat more, you know"
3343
3344He chuckled at his wordplay, and then chowed down the filet. Thirteen was quite the intellectual when he wanted to.
3345
3346"Seem pretty alright." you mentioned. "What about people who attack us, though? Should they be up for eating as well?"
3347
3348"I want to say yes." he said. "However, I've got to think about the people - and Juana's been talking with them. Look, there she is right now."
3349
3350He looked at her, and you followed, finding the Mexican to be talking to some of the Kitchen members.
3351
3352"Yeah. She doesn't want people to eat." he said. "Or at least, not if they don't 'have' to."
3353
3354"She seemed to be advocating pretty hard for no-Eating. Or at least something like that." he said. "Graham's old policy was to have everyone to eat - if there was an attack or an outbreak, everyone could pitch in to help, with some elites eating a bit more. However Juana doesn't seem to like that. She really doesn't like the idea of Eating, but she's very... forgiving with the people who have already Eaten."
3355
3356"She's too idealistic." Thirteen said. "I don't like it. However, with you and your fucking insane fighting skills, I'm a bit less worried. Like. Christ, dude. That fucking punch and kick back then, just... Ffffsshwoosh! Insane."
3357
3358"What do you think about it all?" he then asked you. "Your opinion is very important to me. It's an important subject, for both fighting power and morale."
3359
3360Eating...
3361Scavenged humans/corpses:
3362>Yes/No

3370-------------------------
3371
3372"Scavanging is alright, if they're like, already dead" you mention. "Killed enemies: Yes. Dead allies: No. I'm sure that it would be very useful, yes, but for the sake of morale: no. It would be a horrible thing to do."
3373
3374Thirteen nodded. "Gotcha. I appreciate you telling me this."
3375
3376---*---
3377
3378Before you finished the meal, Margret approached you both, but talked to Thirteen.
3379
3380"Alyona's dead " she said. "News just arrived from the scouts."
3381
3382"W-What? How?" Thirteen stammered. "Eater attack?"
3383
3384"Yes." she said. "There's a new Giant which is roaming the Hospital area, who calls himself Melchior. With a little girl riding him."
3385
3386"It attacked their building. Killed several" she added. "It's not like any other Eater. It's controlled by the girl."
3387
3388"A domesticated Eater like Mary, then?" Thirteen asked. "I thought Graham was the only person who knew how to do that. Plus, Blake has got his notes - and they're coded and everything. Who else could know how to pull it off?"
3389
3390"Maybe they've learned it on their own." Margret added. "But Melchior is very dangerous. Two to three times as large as Mary. And it's stupid like any other Eater of that size, but he blindly obeys the girl who rides him. And she's damn good. It's the best of both worlds."
3391
3392"Thirteen." she then stated. "Melchior is the first Eater of that size seen to use *tools*. It used one of those big light posts to fish the people out of the building."
3393
3394Thirteen's eyes opened greatly as he stared into the Stadium grass. The trick until now to avoid Eaters was to get into narrow places. But then, he seemed to ease off into relief.
3395
3396"But we're protected. We've got more space here in the Stadium." he pointed out.
3397
3398"Yes, but what if Melchior learns how to *climb*, Thirteen." she stated, with a sense of dread. "Thirteen, Melchior this is a real threat here."
3399
3400He put a fist to his mouth and looked aside.

3402"We still have the heavy duty weapons, right? Mary's old stuff?" he asked.
3403
3404"Yes, the heaviest ones, luckily." Margret pointed out. "The lighter ones have been taken."
3405
3406"Yeah, those are the ones we're going to need for Melchior." he said. "We need to have them at the ready at all times, just in case he decides to do come to our place."
3407
3408"I'll get it arranged." Margret concluded.

3414>Ask Sofia about how she managed to belong to the Church, while clearly looking like an Eater, as well as her "Mission".
3415>Talk to Thirteen about going to the remaining Hospital Mafia and arranging and alliance. If Melchior is around that area, they would be in need of help which the Stadium could provide.
3416>Talk to Juana about her recent "crusade" and campaigning towards convincing the Stadium people to not Eat.
