You feel like texting your older brother. Floyd Femur is kind of a dick, if you're honest; he presents himself as some sort of living god. Not a good god, either. Like one of those douchey tribal fucks who always want sacrifices. He runs his own real estate company, and told you to fuck off when you asked for a job when you were younger.

You strike a hell of a pose and point towards yourself, imagining yourself grinning at the camera as you snap a picture using your phone, sending it to Floyd with the caption "Guess who's working for Spooktek, bonehead?" attached. You'd doodle on your skull for something funnier but you can't be bothered to clean yourself up. Oh well; you'll get a reply soon enough.

>>518808
You're working with Professor Oak again today, and he's had a breakthrough with his genetic research! They aren't perfect, but you and him have put together what the dryad refers to as a "pocket midget". It stumbles about amusingly and you two spend some time toying about with the ugly little beast.

>>518810
You spend some time cleaning up various beakers with a different assistant called Sal, a golem. You two joke about and it goes reasonably smoothly.

>>518818
And then you get asked to help Dr Doome. It's just as bad as you expected; she bitches, whines and treats you crappily for ages. Even worse, the phone for the department keeps going off (presumably Larry), but she won't answer it, getting moodier every time.

>>518827
Work is done for the day, but you go to the break room to get another coffee after the fiasco with Doome. What a bitch. Sal is there with a professor who works the other set of shifts, a demonic fellow called Barry, and you stand about chatting... when you notice a flash of silver fabric beneath his lab coat. You mention it, and he shows off HIS OWN SCORPION JACKET! You show him yours and you excitedly chat about stunt driver fantasies while Sal stands about and laughs.

It's 8pm on a Friday because you spent an hour after your shift talking. What now?

>>518862
>>518892
>>518895
>>518897
>>518930
You feel the urge to D R I V E. Problem is, you don't actually own a car, bike, or basically any vehicle whatsoever. You're pretty sure Barry is still inside; what you're not sure of, however, is whether or not HE owns a car. There's always the less... legal option. You're in the Spooktek parking lot though, so that could end badly.

You go back inside and search for Barry. Maybe he's up for a drive, since you're jacket buddies and all. He's a cool guy, right? This should go fiiiiine. (EVENT ROLL)

>>519126
You DO manage to find Barry inside, and he does actually have a car (albeit a kinda mediocre one), but he has one of his shifts right now and refuses to skip out on it. Still, he gives you his number so you can hang out sometime. You walk back out to the parking lot, mildly disappointed that you don't get to D R I V E.

You grab your phone out your pocket and open it, and see that Floyd finally got around to messaging you back. Always needing to one up you, he sent you a picture of him in his office smoking a cigar with his personal assistant Melanie on his lap, the caption stating "That's pretty good lil' bro, but you'll never be me."

What a dick.

Y'know, you've been to town a few times before, but you've never really looked about all that much. There'a probably plenty of secrets tucked away just waiting to be discovered. For the time being, are you looking for anything in particular? You only have 390 spirits until your first paycheck comes through on Sunday.

You could go for another coffee before going anywhere. Luckily most stores in New Haunt are open 24/7 due to a lot of nocturnal citizens. There a few coffee places about; which one do you want to go to?

>A. Central Dark
>B. Joe's Coffee Shop
>C. Scarbucks
>D. Bloodraven's House of Darkness (And Coffee)
>E. On second thought, fuck coffee

>>519445
>B. Joe's Coffee Shop

>>519452
This. Call up Kitty, ask about her. Don't gloat.

>>519479
Really calling her everyday?Well we could set up something on Saturday or Sunday

>>519489
I mean, really, what are our goals in relife?
To live with someone, have a nice job?
To spook? Speaking of, why haven't we gone on a spooking quest?
We just work and walk around and play with our phone.
What is the point of our existence?!

>>519445
Anywhere but Scarbucks.

>>519544
>What is the point of our existence?!

Let's not get too philosophical. At least not until we're drunk or high.

>>519452
>>519479
After some deliberation, you decide to head to Joe's. The coffee shop Joe's, not the diner, or the butcher, or any of those other things. As expected for this time of night, the place is filled with vampires and werewolves, along with the occasional office worker who really needs his fix. A stitched together titan of a man stands behind the counter, with a mustache that looks somewhat like broom bristles. Come to think of it, they may actually BE broom bristles. The man you assume is one of the many, many Joes in New Haunt scratches his armpit.

Really, you should probably find out if this place is lethal or not before you go about drinking anything, so you decide to Boogle the place on your phone. The majority of the reviews you see rate the place 3/5 in near enough every category, completely average; what a thourough embodiment of the Joe spirit.

You're not all that impressed; surely one of the other places nearby is better than an average Joe's. Which do you want to go to? Do you look up the reviews first?

You decide that you may as well see how the other places compare. Scarbucks tends to be either rated 1 or 5, Bloodraven's is rated a 3 overall with a lot of 5 from younger people in makeup, and Central Dark is all over the place. The primary point people make is the "cute but shit" waitress.

>>532250

You feel like engaging your inner D R I V E and head to the local mechanic's place, Crash Victim Vehicles. It's pretty much what you would expect; a normal mechanic garage with some mangled zombies about, with a humanoid figure made entirely of oil standing about with a gaudy bandana. You don't own a vehicle at the moment, but you imagine if you still had a nose you'd enjoy the whole gasoline PETROL, REEEEE smell lingering about.

>>532278
>>532316
You go up to the oilman and introduce yourself. He tells you to refer to him as 'Slick' and you two chat about cars for a little bit; luckily you don't seem too awkward. You casually slip in that you want to get a little more involved with the mechanical side of things. Slick doesn't have any openings at HIS place, but he has a friend that manages a few stunt drivers and movie car consultants. He lives a few blocks over if you want to see him.

>>532458
>>532463
Carrying on with your conversation, the topic of how to begin getting into the business pops up. He says he has a few textbooks laying about for the newer workers, and he offers you "Corpsecars: Mechanics for the Recently Deceased" for ten spirits, which you happily accept. That's 380 spirits left.

It is currently 10pm on a Friday.

This. Can't do shit without the tools.
Stunt guy might be happy we are ready to learn with all the tools.

>>532548
>>532573
>>532593
You're sick of subte prompts, so you straight up ask if he's selling his tools. Somewhere in the oil, Slick rolls his eyes. "Look kid, I like you. But this is a business; I don't just HAPPEN to have an entire spare toolkit laying about for you to nab dirt cheap. At most I have a wrench and a screwdriver or two. You don't just waste money on spares when the tools you have still got plenty of life in 'em."

You feel like sighing. Shame about the whole "skeleton" thing.

You shrug as best you can; it isn't a big deal to you. You can always buy them elsewhere. Probing for some insider knowledge, Slick lets loose that some of his best tools come from Stein's Hardware, a small family run place not far from here. You'll have to check it out some time, eh?

(SPECIAL EVENT: Trips)

You let Slick know that you don't have all that much saved right now, and ask if he knows anywhere selling off cars dirt cheap. He thinks for a moment...

"Nah."

...christ, this guy. He could have softened the blow just-

"But I DO know some guys who might be able to help you out, kid. You ever seen 'Roboo Wars'? All scrap and spikes? Imagine people who do that sorta thing for a living, and you got yourself the Junkrats. Heard they was workin' on something BIG. Might be that you can go get yourself involved with 'em. Just head up to the industrial district and follow the clanging and sparks."

You go to slap Slick's back before recalling that he's 100% oil, and stop yourself. Instead, you thank him for his time and the textbook, and head on your way.

What now for Frankie? You're currently still in town. It is 10pm on a Friday.

You walk over to the address that Slick told you, and find yourself at a slightly fancier mechanic's slotted next to some comparitively mediocre apartments.

Going inside, you see an absurdly old man polishing up a nice purple lowrider. He turns and notices you, and a smile plants itself in between hundreds of wrinkles. When he moves, he seems like a young man; must be a curse or something. He sticks his hand out (and up, being somewhat shorter than you) and introduces himself as Shannon. He doesn't seem at all fazed by the labcoat/jacket combo.

Make up your mind, Inky

You decide to play it cool and slap his hand back and forth, like the start of a secret handshake. You two could be best buddies someday, right? This may be the beginning.

Or it would be, if you didnt have bony knuckles and Shannon wasn't a man stuck in an ancient body. (EVENT ROLL)

>>539727
Luckily you didn't do it hard enough to break anything on either of you, but regardless, Shannon is visibly confused about the whole thing. What an introduction.

Once that awkwardness is over and done with, you tell him your name and let him know that Slick sent you over. He chuckles hearing his name, like it's that of an old friend's. Shannon tells you a dry story about Slick and some girl ghat they fought over, before asking the armor piercing question: "So, why are you here?"

Give me two 1d100 rolls, one for you and one for how Shannon responds.

You don't exactly recall what you said, but it definitely wasn't anything good, because when you look about, you're in an ambulance. Christ.

You sit up, and the ghostly apparition sat by you chuckles. "Rise and shine, princess." He says through his laughter. Apparently you somehow defied all logic and basic biology to stutter, fart and then pass out in front of Shannon. Why? You're not exactly sure. At least he called an ambulance for you, even though that was a bit much. You doubt that you made a very good impression though.

After some routine examinations at the nearest hospital, you walk out and check the time on your phone. Midnight; you were out for nearly two hours.
