Choose a direction and roll 2d6+2 to STALK HER

Into town for doc, dentist, and wheels

Mom being mom, she insisted on taking you into town to get you signed up for a dentist and doctor. You're getting tired of being stuck at Mary and Brian's, and you're itching to get some wheels of your own.

The doctor and dentist, Mom walks you through getting signed back up. The wheels?

"Nadine, I will have no part of you getting a motorcycle or another old junker like Mr. Forbes let you buy from him. If you need a ride back up to Mary and Brian's, you know where to find me."

Yeah, Mom. She's probably imagining you in a Malibu Edition pink VW convertible. Even now, after a hitch in the army as a mechanic.

So you're in the wreckers' yard behind the derelict freight terminal on the railroad when you get Trudy's call.

"Most of the easy fixes, we sell them upstate," Duke tells you. He and McBite, the junkyard dog, are walking you through the likeliest automobile carcasses in the yard. "So unless you've got a shop that'll do the work cheap, or your uncle runs a garage, it's gonna be slim pickings. You might do better at the sheriff's impound yard if you've got an in that'll jump you ahead of the resellers."

Your phone makes the drumbeat sound you picked for a ring.

McBite growls.

"Hush, dog," Duke orders. He waits, looking you over appraisingly, while you take Trudy's call.

"Duke? That's my friend Trudy."

"She picking you up?"

"She needs a tow."


One Page Oracle, Set the Scene. Deenie is looking for a car or a motorcycle for personal transport, maybe a fixer-upper. Scene complication: "Wouldn't it suck if...?"

Random Event: 3C Oppose (Physical) JH Recent Events (Social). Rosemary didn't make her connection? Trudy's car broke down again, or she got dumped from her wrestling job? Trudy's car broke down, and wouldn't it suck if the best deal car is...?

What can Deenie do for Trudy and for a set of wheels?
