I’m walking to work like any other Monday morning, and I see this new notification on my phone it’s about this new controversial app called Dryve.
From what I understand some rich up incoming billionaire decided it’d be a great idea to hire stunt drivers, like the kind you see in movies, to drive as a taxi service. To me the idea was laughable, I thought it was ludicrous. To pay such a high amount to these drivers just to take you to Starbucks or some shit. I mean for goodness sake the average fair was six hundred fifty dollars just to get across town, I mean you do get there in about five minutes, what would normally take twenty but that still doesn’t make it worth it in my opinion.
Since I have nothing better to do I decide to download the app and look around in it. It legit just looks like a rip of Uber with a new logo slapped on it. Half the time the app is unresponsive to my taps, and it even lags my phone just being installed. I can tell whoever this billionaire guy is he’s gonna have a lawsuit on his hands from Uber.
Up ahead of me standing at the edge of the sidewalk stood an old lady carrying some bags of groceries and I decide I’m gonna do my good deed for the day and help her across.
“Hello there mam would you like me to help you across the road?” I spoke to her.
“Why yes deary that’s so kind of you” she said in sweat old lady voice.
I grab all of her bags with my right hand and held her hand with my left. The light changes to red and we start to walk across the road. To my right I could hear the hum of a speeding car, a loud thud, and then squealing of its brakes as it passed by.
Still holding the old lady’s hand to make sure she’s safe I look to the car and I see that it has hit someone, but from where I’m standing it doesn’t even look like there’s of a person left.
This is when I noticed something, the old lady’s hand had gone limp, still clinging to my hand. I look back to my hand in horror and let out a blood curdling scream, the old lady’s hand must have detached from her body when the car hit her.
As I’m standing here freaking the fuck out I hear a car open and a gruff spoke, “uhp that’s another report I’m gonna have to file, seventh one this week”.
The man then got back into his car, and start peeling out of the intersection, bits and pieces of the old lady flying off his hood. I had dropped her hand, and before I knew it, THUD.
I was reading an article about BPD the other day, and one thing that struck me was the statement that people with BPD try to eliminate thoughts and feelings in their loved ones that conflict with their own.
This brought back a memory of one time when I stood up for myself and got angry at her after she used something of mine that I had told her not to touch. The very next day she spent half an hour gaslighting me and calling me "crazy" and said I got angry about things "That dont't matter. THAT DON'T MATTER. THAT DON'T MATTER!", repeating that last phrase with increased volume and pitch and in a weird singsong tone. I remember this vividly, because the next thing she did was pick up something that I had told her she could use and saying "See! You're getting angry because I'm touching the backpack! I'm touching the backpack!" At the time I didn't know about gaslighting, but it just struck me as something out of a surreal comedy that she would act like that.
In retrospect, it's all very clear. I was enforcing personal boundaries, and that just can't be tolerated. Any attempt to do so had to be labeled as crazy behavior.
For instance. Evolution. It took me almost 5 years after I left to conceptualize it in my brain. Every time someone tried to explain it to me I scoffed and dismissed them. Slowly it started to make sense. Thank God my first gf used to be a JW and left. She is a chemist. Several years later I sit around with my family and I casually throw out a vague evolutionary fact and they appear panicked. Because my niece or nephew is "in the room." What the fuck are they scared of??
The two missing heroes, Cruz and Grandma have thawed and together decided to ride a mare like a race horse on coke towards the castle. When Tesla collapsed, they were nearly there. On their last mile the two met the Belasco family (2 guys, a woman, a boy) who mourn having lost their stubborn teen son Krystofor that same night. The Belasco´s are accompanied to the castle and let in with them.
In Argynvostholt, the people still need taming, as there is rampant disappointment after their first days of peace and quite are disturbed by the party.
The leadership dispute is solved by appointing a committee from influential groups among the refugees, to oversee the treasury and building measures:
Zsolt Grejenko, the Captain of a handful of guards
Mathilda Alastroy, for the religious Elderly
Drasha Martikov, a Merchant
Lazlo Ulbrek for the Farmers and
Nimir Swilovich one of the Masons
Sitting around a steaming pot of garlic soup, from which Snowman generously serves to all who can bear the stench, the adventurers give each other new nicknames: Angry, Moody, Potato, Prince, Chatty, Fraidy and Ku become Grandma And The Garlic Bois. That´s how a band of brothers (and a Gran) is formed.
The party members deposit 1750GP, 160 pounds of iron and a (1) warhammer with the committee for rebuilding and defense. There is no blacksmith left, but the Belasco brothers deem it probable that people from the poor, gated community of Krezk would help out for coin.
There are several ideas about a worthwhile defense against Vampires: some suggest Garlic is the way to go (Yay garlic!), there´s the idea to install a mirror outside the main entrance. Also, the strict instruction to not ask anyone in, who hasn´t proved himself a living being. Among possible measures, a stake to the heart is agreed upon as a safe bet.
Preparing for the next segment of the way, Prince sent a magic parchment out to Ireena, instructing her to join the refugees at Argynvostholt (Castle Garlic?) and to wait there, until the party would return.
When the party sets out to meet Madame Eva, before the appointment they have made with the lord of the land, they have a pleasant trip to Vallaki, as their overnight destination. Once there, not even the threats and explanations of Vladimir Horngard´s disheveled appearance can put a stop to the party´s momentum. After just a few sentences, muttering about how someone could persuade Strahd into giving up his powers over the domain and replace him, he is cut off
