TWD

You got away from the Walkers armed with only an unloaded pistol. Before you made this mad dash, you scouted a fire escape that looked to be just low enough to grab. [[You jump for it]]

The unfamiliar voice questions you again: "Matthew, is that you?" You aren't Matthew. You spot a glint of light as a mirror peers over the edge of the rooftop to spot you. The man questioning you points the barrel of a gun down at you from the rooftop. He's using the mirror to scope you so you can't get a clear shot at him - not that you have any ammo. Unfamiliar Male Voice: "Yo! Throw your weapon up here." [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Keep your weapon aimed at his hand holding the mirror.]]

You: "I've got ammo." Unfamiliar male voice: "Knew I could count on you, Matthew!" A ragged unshaven man shows himself, peeking over the edge of the rooftop and immediately realizes you're not his companion, Matthew. He points his gun at you. Instinctively, you point your gun at him. Ragged Unshaven Man: "What the hell? You're not Matthew. Who are you? Don't point that thing at me! Yo! Throw your weapon up here." [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Keep your weapon aimed at the ragged man.]]

You: "No, I'm out of ammo." Unfamiliar Male Voice: "Who are you? Are you really out of ammo?" The man questioning you points the barrel of a gun down at you from the rooftop. He's using a mirror to scope you so you can't get a clear shot at him - not that you have any ammo. Unfamiliar Male Voice: "Yo! Throw your weapon up here." [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Keep your weapon aimed at his hand holding the mirror.]]

You: "Who's there?" Unfamiliar Male Voice: "Who's there? Who? I should be asking you that. Who are you?" The man questioning you points the barrel of a gun down at you from the rooftop. He's using a mirror to scope you so you can't get a clear shot at him - not that you have any ammo. Unfamiliar Male Voice: "Yo! Throw your weapon up here." [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Keep your weapon aimed at his hand holding the mirror.]]

You toss your weapon up to the man and he deftly catches it midair. He stands up and moves forward, looking down upon you with his gun aimed right at your head. And then suddenly he yells: "DUCK!" And you freeze. You freeze because "DUCK" means something to you. You don't move an inch. And he fires a shot at you. No, not at you. Over your shoulder. And a walker gets hit right between the eyes, falling behind you as you stand there stunned. Man on the rooftop: "What the hell, man? I said 'Duck!' You're lucky I'm such a good shot. Hey! Don't look at me like that! I could have killed you! Don't judge me!" You speak weakly: "I... Thanks." [[Another man approaches]]

Man on the rooftop: "Yo! I said throw your weapon up here! You think I can't hit you using a mirror to aim? Don't judge me!" You have no ammo in your gun. You might be able to get a clear shot at his hand if you had any but you don't. Meanwhile he can get a clear shot at your head - if he can aim using a mirror. Do you dare bluff and keep aiming at him? [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Bluff with your gun|keepaimmirror2]]

Rugged man: "You don't want to do this. I said throw your wepaon up here! You think I wont shoot you first? Don't judge me!" You're at a standstill with neither person taking the first shot. Of course, you can't actually shoot because you have no ammo. Then suddenly you hear a clang on the fire escape below you. A box fell onto the fire escape below you. By diverting your gaze for just a second, the man on the rooftop shoots at you, not hitting you but hitting the gun out of your hand. "Don't move or I'll shoot!" He yells at you. [[Don't move]] [[Dash under the stairs for cover]] [[Dash at him to disarm him.]]

"Don't judge me!" He yells And then he shoots you right between the eyes. He had perfect aim. BAD END

You see Julius wrapping a bandage around his chest. He sees that you saw him. A look of shock on his face, he quickly covers up what you saw. Julius's chest was that of a woman. He had full breasts and womanly curves beneath the old bandages and shirt. Julius looks you dead in the eye and says, "Don't you dare tell anyone." [[Your secret is safe with me.]] [[You're a woman!?]] [[Sorry!]] [[I'm going to tell the others.]]

Julius will remember this. "Thanks. You have no idea how hard this is. None of us here have seen a woman since the world went to shit. We always hope to come across them when we go hunting or scavenging for supplies but we never do. If anyone knew about me..." Julius' voice trailed off. You watch Julius stare off into space, breasts completely exposed. [[How do you identify?]] [[What would happen if the others knew about you?]] [[You should cover yourself up before the others find you like this.]]

Julius will remember this. "I'm a man." Julius states with confidence, still looking you right in the eyes, "You'd best not tell anyone and you'd best not forget this. And if you dare tell anyone, I'll cut your dick off and we'll see whether or not you still call yourself a man." [[Julius covers himself up]]

Julius will remember this. Julius softens his gaze, "I identify as male. I always have. And just because there are zombies everywhere and as far as I'm aware, I'm the only one left with a woman's body doesn't make me any less of a man. I just..." Julius pauses for a moment, "It has been so long since anyone had the sensitivity to ask me that. I really appreciate it. I never thought anyone would ever even care enough to ask me such a question. Thank you! How can I repay you? Oh! You can touch them if you want. I trust you. Just for being sensitive enough to ask." [[Touch his breasts]] [[Don't touch his breasts]]

Julius will remember this. "You'd best not tell anyone. If you dare tell anyone that I'm a woman, I'll cut your dick off. You understand?" [[Have sex with me and I wont tell anyone.]] [[Treat me well and I wont tell.]] [[I understand. I wont tell.]]

Julius shudders, "I would probably be raped. Imagine being stuck in this shit hole for weeks, never having seen a woman all this time and then suddenly discovering there was... Just don't. Don't." [[Julius covers himself up]]

Julius nods, "You're right." He quickly bandages up his breasts and puts his shirt back on. "I'm trusting you. I need everyone here to see me as a man." [[Julius covers himself up]]

Julius covers himself up and walks out the door without another word. You follow behind him to meet up with everyone in the [[dining hall]].

You touch his breasts. They're real. A real woman's body. Julius sighs and continues speaking, "They're sensitive right now becuase of my period. That's why there was blood on my leg earlier. I wasn't bitten. You have no idea how much this is weighing on me. All of us men have been living like this since the outbreak, haven't seen any sign of women ever since. The possibility that I might have to perform the duties of a woman, become pregnant and give birth in order to repopulate the human race. The thought disgusts me so much as a man and yet I feel it's what I should and must do. What do you think I should do?" [[Get pregnant for the sake of the world.]] [[Remain true to yourself. I'm sure there are other women out there.]]

You politely decline. Julius sighs and continues speaking, "Your choice. I know you just lost your wife and I guess it's not my place to... Ugh. Sorry, I'm just horny. My breasts are really sensitive right now becuase of my period. That's why there was blood on my leg earlier. I wasn't bitten. You have no idea how much this is weighing on me. All of us men have been living like this since the outbreak, haven't seen any sign of women ever since. The possibility that I might have to perform the duties of a woman, become pregnant and give birth in order to repopulate the human race. The thought disgusts me so much as a man and yet I feel it's what I should and must do. What do you think I should do?" [[Get pregnant for the sake of the world.]] [[Remain true to yourself. I'm sure there are other women out there.]]

Julius nods sadly. "Yeah, I think so too. For the sake of the human race, I need to do it. You're a kind man. Maybe one day, I'll ask you to be the one to impregnate me. I'm so tempted to just grab you and... Sorry. I'm just horny. I know. I'm sorry. Please don't tell anyone. I'm trusting you." [[Julius covers himself up]]

You tell Julius, "Before I found you guys, I was travelling with another group of survivors. There were girls among that group. All hope is not lost. We will find other female survivors. Don't lose hope." Julius has tears in his eyes, "Thank you... You're a kind man. You get how important this is to me. If the day ever comes when... No, nevermind." [[Julius covers himself up]]

Julius moves towards the dresser, "Let me get some condoms..." Julius opens the dresser drawer and then suddenly charges at you with a knife, stabbing you in the groin before you have a chance to react. You're in too much pain to push Julius off you as you are stabbed multiple times between the legs. "You're a monster. You deserve this." You are left to bleed to death on the floor. BAD END.

Julius will remember this. Julius speaks to you begrudgingly, "So you're just going to hold this secret over me for power, is that it? Fine. Just remember that we saved your life too." [[Julius covers himself up]]

Julius glares at you, "You better not." [[Julius covers himself up]]

This is the next hub from which you can walk around and talk to people. People start asking you about what happened and you have the choice to tell them what you know/saw or not. Different people may value this information or treat you differently depending on your choices in this place. After you have talked to everyone, [[the next event triggers at the dining hall]]

Who will you align with? Will you keep secrets? Manipulate others with what you know? The choice is yours... This is the end of the narrative demo.

Another man approaches and aims a gun at you. He's a shorter guy with short well kept hair and a slight build. But he stands confidently on the rooftop looking down at you. "Another man? Who are you? What's your name?" [[Introduce yourself]] [[...|donttalkaboutyourself]]

You speak, "Kenny. Lost my wife and kid. Just had to shoot a guy who was trapped so he wouldn't turn. It was his dying wish. Been through hell." The rugged unshaven guy speaks first, "Fuck man. I thought I'd been through some shit. I didn't even have a family coming into this mess. Wouldn't know what it's like to lose everyone. Name's Pedro. And that guy over there is our fearless leader Julius. There's a couple more guys inside." Then the well kept guy, Julius, speaks, "I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately we don't have much here." Then you hear a third voice below you and another man carrying a crate starts walking up the fire escape, "Hey guys! I got us more ammo." [[Both Julius and Pedro speak in unison]] (set: $kenny to 1)

The rugged unshaven guy speaks first, "Fuck man. This guy is just speechless. Must have been through some shit. Name's Pedro. And that guy over there is our fearless leader Julius. There's a couple more guys inside." Then the well kept guy, Julius, speaks, "You should move along. Unfortunately we don't have much here." Then you hear a third voice below you and another man carrying a crate starts walking up the fire escape, "Hey guys! I got us more ammo." [[Both Julius and Pedro speak in unison]]

You stay motionless. The sudenly he yells at you: "DUCK!" And you freeze. You freeze because "DUCK" means something to you. You don't move an inch. And he fires a shot at you. No, not at you. Over your shoulder. And a walker gets hit right between the eyes, falling behind you as you stand there stunned. Man on the rooftop: "What the hell, man? I said 'Duck!' You're lucky I'm such a good shot. Hey! Don't look at me like that! I could have killed you! Don't judge me!" You speak weakly: "I... Thanks." [[Another man approaches]]

The moment you move he yells at you, "Don't judge me!" And he shoots you between the eyes. He was an excellent shot. BAD END

You enter a room with Julius, Pedro and Matthew. Additionally there is an old man in the room already sitting on a chair holding a shotgun. Julius speaks in a commanding tone, "Pedro, count out our new ammunition cache and reload everything. Old man, your turn to keep watch. Good work Matthew, you can rest. I'm going to get food ready for us so meet me in the dining hall in 30 minutes." Julius salutes and everyone in unison salutes him back. Then Julius proceeds to leave down the hall. As he walks away you notice his walking seems a bit strange despite his attempt to stand strong. A streak of blood is running down one of his legs. [[Talk to Pedro]] [[Talk to Matthew]] [[Talk to the Old Man]] [[Follow Julius]]

Pedro: "Hey man, how you doing? You decided to talk to me, eh?" You: "Thanks for saving me back there. And not shooting me. You've got a good shot." Pedro: "I've been using guns since I was a little kid. Always been super proficient with them. Everyone was always impressed with my abilities when I was younger. I guess I'm just another old guy with a gun these days..." [[Who owns this place?|listentopedro]] [[What's your story?|listentopedro]] (if: $pedroroom is 1)[ [[What's in your room?]] ]

Matthew greets you with a smile, "Hey buddy!" With a big smile and a wave he continues, "Don't mind everyone here. They're just on edge because there aren't any girls around. Haven't seen any girls in a long time. That suits me just fine though." Matthew laughs. [[How can you stay so upbeat in this place?]] [[You prefer to not have girls around?]] [[Thanks for welcoming me back there]]

"So you finally decided to talk to me, Kenny." Without any introduction, the old man seems to know your name. But you don't recognize him. Before you can speak, he continues. "Don't ask how I already know. And don't waste your time talking to me. Everyone here has their secrets and nobody here trusts each other. Except Matthew. That kid is a little TOO trusting. Always going off on his own, always too kind to strangers. You can't be too kind in this world. His kindness to strangers will probably get him killed some day." Again before you have a chance to interject, the old man continues: "Pedro meanwhile is the opposite. Doesn't trust anyone. He's definitely hiding something in his room. That guy is an amazing shot though. I wouldn't try anything. Now that Matthew brought us more ammo from the outside, Pedro wont hesitate to use one of the spare bullets he has. And he wont miss." And again when you're about to say something he keeps talking: "And I think Julius may have been bitten. He doesn't seem to be walking around so well. If you look carefully you might have noticed he's a bit bandaged up under his shirt and there was blood on his leg. He's a good guy. Very strong. Saved my life. The kind of guy I'd be proud to have as my son. But I fear he may be acting a little stronger than he really is and putting on a show as his fate has already been sealed by those things out there." Finally you have a chance to speak. Or you could just [[walk away]]. Seems like he's the kind of guy who would repeat himself if you [[talked to him again|Talk to the Old Man]]. [[Ask how the old man knows you]] (if: $followjulius is 0)[ [[Go to Julius' Room]] ] (if: $matthew is 1)[ [[Tell him about Matthew]] ] (set: $pedroroom to 1)

You follow Julius down the hall. The way he was moving seemed a little awkward. There's definitely something wrong with him. You even notice a loose bandage hanging out from under his shirt. Every room you pass seems to be labeled with a sticker that has a name on it. And then you approach [[his room|Go to Julius' Room]]

Old Man: "I saw what you did out there. You killed your buddy and ran away. Shot him twice in the head and ran. I heard your companions yell your name. That's how I know. Don't worry. I wont tell the others how you killed your friend. Just don't go saying anything about me. Secrets are at a premium in this place." [[walk away]]

You feel that you should check on Julius. He didn't seem to be ok. He had blood on his leg and it looked like he was wearing an old bandage too. You come to a room with a blue sticker on it that reads "Julius" on the closed door. [[Knock]] [[Open the Door]]

You're about to knock on Julius' door when you hear a girl cry out in pain from inside the room. [[Knock on Julius' Door]] [[Enter Julius' room|walkinonjulius]]

The door doesn't seem to be locked. You look behind you and see nobody else around. Then you [[burst into the room to confront Julius...|walkinonjulius]]

Pedro shrugs, "Don't judge me. I guess you want to hear my story. Me and that old man Benjamin have lived in this building a long time. Place was overrun by zombies and we were the only two in the building who has guns to fend the fuckers off. He may tell you I don't trust anyone but really I just don't trust him. I trust you. I think you're a good guy. Smart guy. Just from our interaction on the fire escape." [[walk away|walk away]] (set: $benjamin to 1) (set: $pedro to 1)

You're in a room with (if: $benjamin is 0)[the old man] (if: $benjamin is 1)[Benjamin], (if: $matthew is 1)[and] (if: $matthew is 2)[and ]Pedro(if: $matthew is 0)[ and Matthew.] (if: $pedro is 0)[ [[Talk to Pedro]] ] (if: $pedro is 1)[ [[Talk to Pedro|talktopedro2]] ] (if: $matthew is 0)[ [[Talk to Matthew]] ] (if: $benjamin is 0)[ [[Talk to the Old Man]] ] (if: $benjamin is 1)[ [[Talk to Benjamin]] ] (if: $followjulius is 0)[ [[Follow Julius]] ] (if: $pedroroom is 1)[ [[Look for Pedro's Room]] ]

"So you finally decided to talk to me, Kenny." Without any introduction, the old man seems to know your name. But you don't recognize him. Before you can speak, he continues. "Don't ask how I already know. And don't waste your time talking to me. Everyone here has their secrets and nobody here trusts each other. Except Matthew. That kid is a little TOO trusting. Always going off on his own, always too kind to strangers. You can't be too kind in this world. His kindness to strangers will probably get him killed some day."

The kind of guy I'd be proud to have as my son. But I fear he may be acting a little stronger than he really is and putting on a show as his fate has already been sealed by those things out there." Finally you have a chance to speak. Or you could just [[walk away]]. Seems like he's the kind of guy who would repeat himself if you [[talked to him again|Talk to Benjamin]]. [[Ask how Benjamin knows you]] [[Call him Benjamin]] (if: $followjulius is 0)[ [[Go to Julius' Room]] ] (if: $matthew is 1)[ [[Tell him about Matthew]] ] (set: $pedroroom to 1)

Benjamin will remember this. Benjamin seems taken aback and speaks in a loud whisper, "How did you know my name? Don't you dare say that name." Benjamin points his shotgun at you, "Listen kid. If you say my name again, I'll kill you. You're lucky Julius isn't here or I might have shot you right on the spot. You're not going anywhere. You're going to wait here with me until it's time to go to the dining hall." After a long wait, it's finally time to go to the [[dining hall]].

Benjamin: "I saw what you did out there. You killed your buddy and ran away. Shot him twice in the head and ran. I heard your companions yell your name. That's how I know. Don't worry. I wont tell the others how you killed your friend. Just don't go saying anything about me. Secrets are at a premium in this place." [[walk away|walk away]]

Matthew laughs, "It's not so bad. Everyone here counts on me to go get us supplies since everyone else is too scared to go out on their own..." Matthew sighs then continues, "My partner used to always worry so much about me every time I went off and did something dangerous. I hope I can find him..." [[Tell me about your partner.]] [[hope you can find _HIM_?|hoping to find _HIM_?]] [[I hope you find him.]]

Matthew laughs, "Don't mind girls but I'll take a room full of men over dealing with girls any day. I would never cheat on my partner anyway." [[Tell me about your partner.]] [[Thanks for welcoming me back there]]

Matthew smiles at you, "No problem buddy! Wish I could give you more of a welcome but this place isn't mine. I'm just passing by. I believe all people are good people. We all just want to live a happy life, ya know?" [[Just passing by?]] [[Who owns this place?]] [[Good people?]]

Matthew gazes off into the distance and a warm loving aura fills his voice, "My partner was always overprotective of me and always thought the crazy things I do were unsafe but at the end of the day we were always there for each other. I miss him so much I hope he's okay." [[You miss _HIM_?|hoping to find _HIM_?]] [[I hope you find him.]]

Matthew: "Yeah, I'm searching for my partner. I go out every day hoping to find him. If only we had designated some sort of meeting spot for when all this shit went down. I've been looking at all our favorite spots to meet around town but no luck yet." [[hoping to find _HIM_?]] [[Maybe there's a spot out of town you haven't thought of?]] [[I hope you find him.]]

Matthew shrugs, "I think Pedro and the old man used to live here. Dunno about Julius but he seems to be in charge around here. Something feels a little off about all the guys around here but I think they're good people. If I didn't already... Well, make yourself at home. We'll be eating together soon. I gotta go check something. Take care!" Matthew smiles and walks away leaving you to [[talk to the others in the room.|walk away]] (set: $matthew to 2)

Matthew nods, "Everyone has their flaws. People can't help certain things about themselves but that's part of what makes them special. If everyone could get along and accept the goodness in each other the world would be a happier place - with or without the walkers. I think you may find that everyone here is hiding a secret or two about themselves. It'd be great if everyone could just be open about who they are." Matthew smiles and walks away leaving you to [[talk to the others in the room.|walk away]] (set: $matthew to 2)

Matthew will remember this. Matthew senses your tone and his smile goes down a bit, "Yeah. I said 'him'. You're not a homophobe like that old guy, are you? We're people too just wanting to live a happy life like the rest of you. Just don't tell the old guy with the shotgun alright?" Matthew shrugs and walks away. [[You look around the room.|walk away]] (set: $matthew to 1)

Matthew nods, "There is. There's a ski lodge we used to vacation at together. It's a long journey from here but I want to make sure I've checked everywhere in town before I go there. I believe he's still alive and out there somewhere. He might just be waiting for me there. Once I get enough supplies for the journey I may head over there. Wish me luck, ok? Oh. And don't tell the old man about anything I told you, ok?" Matthew smiles and walks away leaving you to [[talk to the others in the room.|walk away]] (set: $matthew to 1)

Matthew will remember this. Matthew nods, "I hope so too. I've been searching all our favorite meeting spots. I keep thinking that I just keep missing him somehow. Just don't tell the old guy that I'm gay, alright? He doesn't seem very... accepting." Matthew smiles at you, "I'm going to go look around. See you in the dining hall in a bit." [[You look around the room.|walk away]] (set: $matthew to 1)

Julius' voice can be heard from inside, "Just a second!" Almost a minute passes with you waiting outside the door and then he opens the door a crack, peering out of it. Julius sighs, "Oh. It's you. What do you want?" [[Are you ok?]] [[I heard a girl scream?]] [[Nothing.|walk away]] (set: $followjulius to 1)

Julius nods, "I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me. Leave me be for a little bit. I'll meet you in the dining hall and we'll get you fed." And with that, Julius salutes you and closes the door. You [[walk back to the main room|walk away]]. (set: $followjulius to 1)

Julius appears shocked, "A girl? Where? I haven't heard or seen a girl in a long time." You mention it sounded like it was coming from inside Julius' room and he shrugs it off. Julius opens the door all the way, "You can see there's no girl in this room." Looking inside, the room certainly seems empty. You can even see under the bed. Nobody is hiding in the room. [[Go inside for a closer look.]] [[Are you ok?]] [[Walk away|walk away]] (set: $followjulius to 1)

You look inside Julius' room. On closer inspection, there's a closet and it has a lock on it. But you can't open the lock. Julius sees you trying to open the closet and explains, "I have food stored in there. I'm rationing it so we can hold out here for a while longer. I'm not hiding any girl in this closet. Come on. Let's go to the dining hall together." [[Insist you heard a girl's scream coming from Julius' room]] [[Follow Julius to the dining hall|dining hall]].

Pedro points a gun at you, "Don't judge me." Suddenly it's time to head to the [[dining hall]].

(if: $pedroroom is 0)[Pedro: What's up?] (if: $pedroroom is 1)[Pedro: Hey (if: $kenny is 1)[Kenny]! Can you help me out? There's a box in my room on top of my desk. Mind getting it for me?] (if: $pedroroom is 1)[ [[Sure, I'll get the box for you]] ] (if: $pedroroom is 1)[ [[No, I'm not going to get the box for you]] ] [[Walk away|walk away]]

You dash under the stairs against the building for cover. The man on the rooftop keeps aim at you but doesn't pull the trigger. Man on the rooftop: "I can still hit you from here. Just give up and throw up your weapon!" [[Throw your weapon to him.]] [[Try to keep yourself out of his line of sight.]]

You try to remain out of sight by staying under the cover of the stairs against the building. "Don't judge me!" yells the man on the rooftop but before he makes another move, another man leaps onto the fire escape and pulls himself up below you. He picks up the crate with a big smile and calls up to you, "Hey! Another survivor! How you doing? You want to join us?" And before you can respond, [[Another man approaches]]

You speak: Sorry! I didn't mean to. I... [[thought I heard a girl scream.|sorry2]] [[thought you had been bitten.|sorry2]] [[didn't mean to barge in on you like that.|sorry2]]

Julius sighs, seeming relieved. Then in a more polite tone he says, "Please don't tell anyone what you saw here. I don't want anyone to know I have a female body..." [[Your secret is safe with me.]] [[How do you identify?]] [[What would happen if the others knew about you?]] [[You should cover yourself up before the others find you like this.]]

You: I heard a girl's scream coming from inside your room. Julius: "Impossible. There are no girls here. You must be hearing things. Maybe it came from outside? Or are you trying to say I sound like a girl?" [[Back down and go to the dining hall|dining hall]] [[Don't back down and try to find the girl.]]

Julius will remember this. Julius: Enough. I'm done. Look around the room if you want. There's no girl in here. Meet me in the [[dining hall]] when you're done. The room is quite barren. Like a hotel room but with less furniture. Pretty much just a bed and a dresser. The dresser is only a cubic foot or two - too small to hide a person inside. The window is boarded up so nobody can see in or out. [[Check the closet]] [[Check under the bed]]

The closet is locked. You have no way to break it open. Nobody is responding from inside the closet when you bang on the closet door. It's possible someone is hidden inside but you have no way to be sure about it at this point. [[Check under the bed]] [[Go to the dining hall|dining hall]]

Nobody. There's nothing under the bed but some dust and a used bandage. There's no blood on the bandage but it appears like it was part of a bigger bandage that got torn off. No girl under the bed. [[Check the closet]] [[Go to the dining hall|dining hall]]

Both Julius and Pedro speak in unison, "Matthew!" Matthew speaks, "Hey! So (if: $kenny is 1)[this new guy, Kenny?](if: $kenny is 0)[who's this new guy?] Sounds like he's had a rough time. Let's get him some food" Pedro: "We don't have that much to spare." Matthew: "There aren't too many survivors out there. We gotta help each other out." Both Pedro and Matthew look to Julius. Julius sighs, "They look at me because I control all the food here. Alright, you can have some. But you better make yourself useful! Come on." [[You follow the party into the building]]

The old man grins, "I knew it! I knew he was a little TOO friendly. If I ever see that faggot again, I'm going to kill him. Thanks for telling me." You aren't given an opportunity to respond. The old man gets up out of his chair for the first time and cocks his shotgun. Then he walks to the [[dining hall]] with everyone else.

You're curious what's in Pedro's room. Pedro seems to be distracted by counting and loading ammo giving you ample opportunity to sneak into his room and find what's hidden there. The hall has many rooms each labeled with a sticker and a name. One of the rooms has Pedro's name on a green sticker. [[Knock on Pedro's Door]] [[Open Pedro's Door]] [[Walk away|walk away]]

You knock but nobody answers. Pedro isn't in his room. [[Open Pedro's Door]] [[Walk away|walk away]]

Pedro's door is locked. (if: $pedrokey is 1)[ [[Use Pedro's Key]] ] [[Walk away|walk away]]

You: Sure, I'll get the box for you. Pedro: Great! Thanks. Pedro hands you a key to his room. Pedro: Don't touch anything else in there, ok? Just get the box on top of my desk and bring it to me. [[Go to Pedro's Room]] [[walk away]] (set: $pedrokey to 1)

Pedro will remember this. Pedro: I just wanted to give you a chance to make yourself useful. To prove yourself trustworthy. Fine, I'll get it myself. You're judging me, aren't you? Pedro sighs and gets up leaving to go to his room. Your gun is laying on the floor unguarded. There's a chance someone might see you pick up the gun. [[Pick up your gun]] [[Don't pick up your gun]]

You discretely pick up your gun. Now you're armed and ready for whatever might happen next in the [[dining hall]].

You wisely choose not to pick up your gun. The old man with the shotgun has his eye on you. The old man makes eye contact with you and winks at you when he sees you have chosen not to retrieve your weapon when given the chance. Julius announces it is time to go to the [[dining hall]].

You walk down the hall and find Pedro's room labeled with a green sticker. The door is locked. [[Use Pedro's Key]]

(if: $lookedwindow is 0)[You use Pedro's key to open the door to his room. It looks rather barren.] There's a desk with a box on it. There's a bed with some sheets on it that appear to be covering an oddly lumpy pillow. And there's a closet. (if: $lookedwindow is 0)[The windows are boarded up but there's a small hole through which you can see outside.] [[Grab the box on Pedro's desk]] [[Look inside Pedro's closet]] [[Look under Pedro's sheets]] (if: $lookedwindow is 0)[ [[Look out the hole in the window]] ]

You grab the box Pedro was asking for. It's extremely light and easy to carry. [[Look inside the box]] [[Take the box back to Pedro]]

Inside Pedro's closet you find girl's clothing and several barbie dolls dressed in various outfits. Most of them are missing their heads. You hear the click of a gun behind you and Pedro's voice: "Don't judge me!" You turn to face Pedro who has his gun pointed at your head. [[I'm not judging you|notjudging2]] [[Why do you have girl clothing in your room?]] [[Why do you have barbies in your room?]] [[I won't tell anyone about what's in your closet|I won't tell anyone]]

The way Pedro's sheets are sitting feels off to you. A pillow isn't normally this lumpy. And then you remove the sheets and discover human bones. For some reason Pedro has a set of human arm and leg bones in his bed but they're small and appear to have belonged to a child. You hear the click of a gun behind you. Pedro: "Don't judge me!" [[What the fuck?]] [[I'm not judging you.]] [[Why do you have human bones in your bed?]] [[I won't tell anyone about the bones|I won't tell anyone]]

(set: $lookedwindow to 1) MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FOR THE WALKING DEAD GAME IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE WALKING DEAD SEASON ONE, [[TURN BACK NOW|Use Pedro's Key]] Or [[look through the window|lookwindow2]]

You take a peek inside the box. The only thing inside is a stuffed bear. [[Pick up the stuffed bear]] [[Take the box back to Pedro]] (set: $seenbear to 1)

You leave the room to bring the box back to Pedro. The moment you pass through the doorway you feel the barrel of a gun against your neck. Pedro asks you calmly, "Did you look inside the box? [[No, I didn't look inside the box.]] [[Yes, I looked inside the box.]] (if: $seenbear is 1)[ [[Yes, I saw your stuffed bear.]] ]

You hear the click of a gun behind you. Pedro: Put the bear down. That's my bear. Don't judge me. Just put the box and the key down and head to the dining hall. Pedro watches you with his gun pointed at you. Without any other option, you put down the box along with his key and head to the [[dining hall]].

Pedro will remember this. Pedro smiles at you and says: "Maybe i can trust you after all. You did exactly what I asked you to do. I appreciate it. I've got your back from here on." Pedro puts his hand out and asks for the key back. You give him back his key and he takes the box from you and walks with you to the [[dining hall]].

Pedro: You saw Abbie's... Don't judge me. Just put the box and the key down and head to the dining hall. Pedro takes a few steps back and watches you with his gun pointed at you. You put down the box along with his key and head to the [[dining hall]].

Pedro: You saw Abbie's... That bear belonged to my girlfriend. Don't judge me. Just put the box and the key down and head to the dining hall. Pedro takes a few steps back and watches you with his gun pointed at you. You put down the box along with his key and head to the [[dining hall]].

You: What the fuck? Why do you have human bones in your bed? The bones of a child? You better have a good explanation for this Pedro. Pedro will remember this. Pedro: Man, you have some balls taking that tone with me when I have a gun pointed at you. I can respect that. Those bones belonged to my little girl. I tried my best to protect her but... Don't judge me. Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

You: I'm not judging you. Just put the gun down. Pedro: I told you to get the box off my desk. Not go snooping around in my room. You are judging me. You think it's weird that I sleep with bones in my bed. I'm going to give you one last chance. Come with me to the dining hall and don't say a word about what you saw here. Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

Pedro: Those bones belonged to my little girl. I tried my best to protect her but... I sleep with them in hopes that she'll protect me now. Don't judge me. Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

In the distance you can see Lee hacking and slashing his way through a horde of zombies. You watch in awe as he fights his way forward to Clementine. You hope he makes it through okay. [[Return to Pedro's Room|Use Pedro's Key]]

You: I'm not judging you. Just put the gun down. Pedro: I told you to get the box off my desk. Not go snooping around in my room. You are judging me. You think it's weird that I have a collection of girl's clothes and headless dolls in my closet. I'm going to give you one last chance. Come with me to the dining hall and don't say a word about what you saw here. Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

You: Why do you have barbie dolls in your room? And why are most of them missing their heads? Pedro explains calmly: "Target practice. Notice how many of them are missing their heads. Now note that I shot each head off from a distance much farther than the distance between my gun and your head right now. You'd be wise not to tell anyone about this." Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

Pedro will remember this. Pedro: You go snooping around in my room, find something that maybe you didn't want to find. I'll give you one last chance. I want to be able to trust you. Pedro demands his key back and persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].

You jump for it and miss. It's a foot too high but you almost had it. The walkers shamble ever closer. You look around and spot a nearby crate you might be able to use as a stepping stone to reach the fire escape. [[Use the crate]] [[Jump for it again]]

You climb the fire escape and it goes from a metal ladder to a metal staircase. The clanging of the metal beneath your steps keeps drawing the attention of the Walkers below. You hold the pistol ready even though you have no bullets left. You know that the Walkers aren't your only problem in this broken world. As you climb the last set of stairs, you hear an unfamiliar voice: "Did you get the ammo?" [[I've got ammo.]] [[No|noammo]] [[Who's there?|whoammo]] [[...|saynothingammo]]

You scramble over to a nearby crate and use it to get just enough height to make the jump. The walkers climb onto the crate behind you but seem unable to jump up to reach you as you just barely escape with your life. [[You climb the fire escape]]

With a running jump this time you're able to just barely snag your fingers onto the bottom rung of the ladder and you pull yourself up with the strength of your arms... [[You climb the fire escape]]

Pedro: "Don't judge me! Those used to belong to my girlfriend. Now get the fuck out of here and don't go snooping around in my room. I told you to get the box off my desk not go looking in my closet. Pedro persuades you to go to the [[dining hall]].
