Right then.
You are high as a fucking kite off of amphetamines and flying down the highway at 125 miles per hour. There's a severed head in the trunk and it's screaming and chanting in proto-Uralic and you tried killing yourself an hour ago and three bullets to the head later you are feeling god damn fine.
The Players
- The Driver - High on amphetamines. Loaded revolver, minus three bullets
- Passenger's Seat - Bullet wound to the abdomen. Bleeding has slowed, replaced with amber colored pus.
- Back Seat 1 - Hurriedly typing on a laptop with a cracked screen.
- Back Seat 2 - Loading teeth into something not entirely unlike a lobster.
The Destination
Some godforsaken hut in the middle of godforsaken nowhere. Something there can help you.
The Car
God this fucking thing is going to fall apart. You've pushed it too hard. The collision didn't help.
The Music
Gojira's Mouth of Kala.
Behind You
Lights in the sky. Blue-white, pulsing.

This was, initially, an entry for the 2020 Delta Green shotgun scenario contest under the goal of "maximum vibes". I succeeded at the latter part.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reminds me of some of the stuff Modron RPGs has been doing lately:

I just read that! This predates it, but the vibe is definitely in the same ballpark.

ReplyDeleteDamn, this has some Energy to it for sure
ReplyDeleteI think this is the best mini-setting I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteYES
Amber is a recurring sign of the Strange. Unless the Driver is a southpaw it seems likely the Passenger was shot by something else. Another lobstergun?
Are the lobstergun rounds human teeth, fangs, or something else?
You had me at "high on amphetamines".
ReplyDeletethe vibes are exquisite
ReplyDeleteWait. Wait. Minus three bullets. It's loaded, and you've shot three times, and it is now at a *negative* number of bullets? It's the Mystical Revolver of Healing! (and you can't tell me otherwise)
