Death On Wheels: Chapter 4

"I hope you had a good look around the RV" Tanezumi smiled. "Because you'll need to use all of it to your advantage."

"Well,  I tried to have a good look, but it seemed like the rest of the RV was blocked off." Chester announced while raising his hand.  I'm not sure why he was raising his hand.

"Well that's what I'm here to talk about" Tanezumi leaned on the centerpiece of the table before bringing her voice to a whisper. "Incentives!"

The sound of silverware abruptly crashing against porcelain dinner plates unanimously sounded around the room before it fell silent. Everyone's attention was on Tanezumi, except mine, I was still staring at my food. I don't know what she could possibly incentivize to be honest. Only a complete asshole would want to chase after any incentive she could possibly have for us.

"You get to see the other parts of the RV!" she told us with a giggle.

"See actually that's not even a very good incent-" Mooon Man began to interject, but Tanezumi interrupted him.

"Yeah Steve tried to turn you off to it by comparing it to shitty phone aps, but as Billy Mays would say, 'WAIT! There's more!'" she imitated the late infomercial salesperson. "Not only will you see some more rooms of the RV, if you murder someone and you don't get caught, I have big cash rewards for you on top of a free new car!"

"So you're saying that we will be free, rich, and driving luxuriously?" Villefoe asked.

"Yeah!" Tanezumi giggled. "Also, since I'm such a nice gal, I hid some Tanezumi statues around the RV equipped with information and immunity to fear games! Hurray!" Tanezumi cheered before putting her hands on her hips. "Alright, just let that sink in! … literally!" and with that she disappeared

Before anyone could even say or do anything, however, an actual sink walked into the room. Literally an actual sink. I had to rub my eyes and shake my head a few times to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me, but it was a sink. It sat itself between Riley and Honey, who were staring at it with skepticism in their eyes. It just sat there, out of place and awkward, for a bit. As soon as everyone went back to their dinner, the sink made a sickening vomiting sound before spurting blood out of its spout at full force. The blood shout out fast and began to cover everyone at the table, including me. I wanted to cover myself, but I didn’t even do anything as I watched it spew out blood all over everyone as they panicked. I felt like I was in some kind of twisted dream as I watched Riley scream and fell over in his chair. Honey was covering her hair and shouting. Everyone else was trying to get out of their chairs, shouting and scrambling. Nac slipped and accidentally caught her flailing hand onto Villefoe's beard, sending him face first into the sink to the point he got a full face of blood. Nac was such an amazing klutz she accidentally slipped back with him and lost her wig in the blood pool in the sink. She screamed as she immediately put her arms over her wig and her actual short pixie cut.

I watched as everyone got drenched in blood, including myself. I just kinda let it drench me as I began to zone out. I heard ringing and I began to feel numb. The room began to darken it seemed and I couldn't help but wonder if all of this was really happening. Then I saw it, in the back of the room. It's eyes wide with blood smeared around it's mouth and snout. It began to smile at me, revealing sharp teeth. I've seen this thing before, but I do not know what it wants. It began to approach me before it opened its mouth and screamed. As soon as it screamed I felt myself shake as the room lightened and Ned was furiously shaking me.  

"Dude! C'mon we need to get out of here, man!" he frantically pulled me away.  

Everyone piled into the living room, covered in blood and shaking.

"W-What just happened?" Charlie asked, shivering and holding onto himself.

"TANEZUMI LET THAT SINK IN?!?!" Uncle Grandpa popped up out of no where and slapped his hands over his cheeks. "OH NO! SEE! THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T LET THAT SINK IN!"

"What the fuck is going on?!" Bromanor demanded answers.

"I know..." Chester narrowed his eyes.

"Who did it then?" Xarna asked.

"It's all Paul McCartney's fault!" Chester waved his finger accusingly into the air. "Paul McCartney disguised as that sink!"

"What?" Mooon Man slapped his hands against his forehead a few times. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"What kind of butt fuck conclusion is that?" Ule Gapa angrily shouted at Chester.

"Hey! Don't yell at me! I'm just raising awareness! Paul McCartney is evil! He's probably disguised as that Tanezumi chick!" Chester defended himself.

"You're out of your FUCKING mind!" Ule Gapa screeched.

"No I'm not!" Chester growled. "Don't talk to me like that, ya hear?"

"I'LL TALK TO YOU HOW I FEEL I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, MOTHER FUCKER!" Ule Gapa's face became so red, veins popped out of his head.

"THAT'S WHY THEY CANCELED YOUR SHITTY SHOW I BET!" Chester shoved him.

"YOU MOTHER FUCKING DICK HEAD I WILL CHOKE YOU!" Ule shoved him back, fists shaking with rage.

"ENOUGH!!!" Honey came between them, trying to break up the fight. "We're not going to get anywhere if you keep fighting like this!"

"Who the fuck asked you, lady? Get your big tits out of the way!" Ule Gapa shoved her aside.

"HEY!" I yelled.

Honey stumbled and almost fell over, but was caught by Pizza Steve who had just walked into the room. After helping her up, he took his sunglasses off and angrily stared down Ule Gapa. I heard Riley scream and back into a corner hysterically.  

"IT'S BEHIND YOU" I heard him cry.

Steve only glanced at him before turning back to Ule Gapa.

"You listen here and you listen good" Pizza Steve began before violently grabbing and lifting up Ule Gapa by his shirt. "I don't EVER want to see that kind of shit again! Do you understand me? If you lay your goddamn fingers on anybody like that again I will CHOP off your GODDAMN hands so you literally can't ever do it again, mother fucker!"

Ule Gapa angrily stared at him, but you could tell he had fear in his eyes. After a moment, Steve let him go, causing the blue disgustoid to stumble back.

"Are you alright?" Steve asked Honey, putting his sunglasses back on.

"Y-Yes..." Honey blushed and put her hand behind her head as if to scratch her neck. "T-Thank you!"

Steve nodded before turning to Chester. "How about you?"

"I'm alright, just a little slighted and irritated." Chester sighed.

"Let's not have anymore fights. You're only doing what that rat wants, and you'll make Uncle G cry." Steve told us before nodding at Uncle Grandpa who was sobbing in the corner.

"Sorry Uncle Grandpa..."  Chester apologized.

"It's okay, Chester. I still love all of you!" Uncle Grandpa sniffled.

"We love you too, Uncle Grandpa!" Chester smiled.

"You should get cleaned up, you all look like used tampons!" Pizza  Steve laughed before pulling out an oregano blunt and lighting it.

"Pizza Steve!" Uncle Grandpa scolded.

Pizza Steve shrugged and took a hit in response. "I honestly can't stay sober long enough for this shit, Uncle G." and with that he walked out of the room, a trail of smoke behind him.  

Uncle Grandpa got up and followed.

We all went to our rooms after that to clean up. I immediately went into the bathroom and stripped myself of my blood soaked clothes, tossing them into the hamper and immediately turning on the shower. After the copious amounts of shit I had to go through and witness today, it felt relaxing just taking a simple hot shower. After washing myself, I just kinda stood there letting the water hit me. For once throughout this entire day, I felt relaxed and care free, but that was short lived when I felt a presence behind me. I slowly turned around to look and came face to face with that thing I saw in the dining room. It let out a loud scream in my ear, causing me to fall over and take the entire shower curtain with me. I hit my knee pretty badly and I felt like a complete idiot sprawled out on the floor wrapped in a shower curtain dubbed over in pain from my knee and the ringing in my ear.

After a bit, I finally picked myself up, threw the shower curtain down in frustration, shut off the shower, and dried myself off with a towel.

"Fucking bullshit" I muttered to myself. I felt like I was already in a fear game, but I've been seeing that crazy thing way before I came here. Ever since I played with a ouija board with Ned, I've been seeing that creature. I can never get a good look at it, but it wears all white, it has blood on its face, and it has horns. I'm not sure what it wants from me, but from time to time it likes to pop up and scare the absolute shit out of me by screaming in my ear. You'd think I'd be used to it by now if I've had this problem, but it comes so sporadically that I never know when to expect it and even if I do expect it, the screaming alone is enough to send me flying into the other wall.

I got dressed into pajamas before going to clean up the bathroom a bit. I'm not used to cleaning, so I did a sloppy job putting up the shower curtain and wiping up the floor, but it would have to do for now. I decided to keep my hair flopped over rather than attempt to spike it. It was late anyways and I just don't feel like spiking it right now. I left the room to grab a bowl of cereal. I glanced over at the clock to see it was almost time for us to go into our rooms for the night, so I figured grabbing a quick bowl of cereal wouldn't hurt. I had nothing to eat for dinner so I was hungry.

I went into the kitchen. Before I could look in a cabinet, I heard a voice behind me. "Would you like some assistance?" I heard a robotic voice asked me.  

I turned around and saw Tiny Miracle standing there with his usual eager face.  

"Uh, I just want some cereal" I told him.

"Coming right up!" Tiny Miracle told me before immediately and stylishly making me a bowl of my favorite cereal without me having to tell him what kind of cereal I wanted. He handed it to me when it was done.

"Thanks" I nodded before sitting down and scooping some up.

A moment later, Steve sat across from me, just staring at me and smoking his oregano.

"What?" I finally asked.

He took off his sunglasses and smirked at me. Or at least I thought he was smirking at me.

"You're just going to let this happen?" he asked.

"What?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

He actually looked at me and shushed me before shifting his gaze back in my direction.

"I can't talk much right now, but I guess I'll see you tonight. On another note, did you happen rip out another 'Nice Guy's' throat? I always love hearing about that." he asked.

Silence. Then he laughed.

"Good. Asshole fucking deserved it for subjecting a lady to that bullshit." Steve nodded before taking another hit of his oregano. "Mmmm it's been a pleasure speaking with you, but we'll have much more to discuss later."

He giggled before getting up. I stopped him, though.

"What the hell was that all about?" I asked.

"Someone has an interest in you. You should try to talk to that someone more often." he told me.

"That thing that screams in my ear?" I asked.

"That's a greeting" he laughed.

"Why me?" I asked.

"Relax" he told me before leaving.

Suddenly an announcement was heard over the loud speaker.

"CALLING ALL THE BASIC BITCHES! Y'ALL BETTER GET YOUR ASSES IN YOUR ROOMS! THE FEAR GAMES WILL BE STARTING SOON!"  

I shook my head before taking my last bite of cereal.  I briskly walked to my room. After that strange encounter with Steve, I didn't really want to be out and about. Before I could go into my room, I was stopped by Celeste, who was peaking out of her room. She put her sleeve over her face as I came by.

"O-oh..." she squeaked out. "T-There you are..."

"You were looking for me?" I asked.

"Well, I just..." her voice trailed off before she swallowed and cleared her throat. "I just wanted to thank you for earlier when you saved me from falling and got the book I really wanted to read."

"No problem!" I smiled. "As I told my buddy, Ned, helping people is punk rock!"

She giggled. "The book I picked is about beings who interact with each other through their different dimensions. It's quite interesting! It focuses mostly on a teenaged boy and a female apparition."

"Interesting" I told her like as if that were a very interesting topic  I haven't heard before, but I was getting sick of all this invisible ghost and paranormal shit.

"The boy is kinda scared of the girl right now, but the girl only wants to be his friend. The boy fears the girl wants to hurt him." she explained to me.

"Well maybe he wouldn't be so scared if the girl actually told him that she's not trying to hurt him and actually try to effectively communicate." I told her.

"It isn't so simple!" she frowned. "But she's trying. She just needs some time."

"I guess..." I nodded.

"Sorry for rambling! I just wanted to thank you!" she put her sleeve in front of her face again.

"No problem" I nodded and smiled.

"Good night!" she waved.

"Good night" I waved back.

She squeaked and immediately shut the door. I went into my room, making sure to lock the door. I sketched for a while until it was time for the fear games. When it was time, an announcement sounded as the TVs went on, revealing Tanezumi in a newscaster outfit.

"YOU BETTER BE AWAKE! IT'S TIME FOR THE FEAR GAME! AND THE UNLUCKY PICK IS..."
