My answer to that question is 'Yes'.

[ILikePie]

"So um.. that kid there, your boyfriend? Who is he?" you ask. "W- We're dating, sort of" Tracy starts, "he, his.. His name is Francisco, yeah. He's a nice kid, don't hurt him, please don't hurt him." She starts crying again. You shoot right beside her head, almost cutting her ear off (6). She stops crying in fear. What are you gonna do with this girl, you think. "Where can I find your boyfriend, this Frankie!" you demand. "W- we work together at 7-Eleven, don't hurt him, please!" she says. "Oh I won't, I just want to know what I'm going to do with you." You need to knock her out somehow, hmm, you hold you hand up to your chin. Hitting her could do, but that might make some noises, leave some marks, you need something clean, something stylish. You put the gun down and walk up to her. "Shhh... 7-Eleven huh?", you grab her mouth shut with one hand, and with the other you block those two blood things in her neck. According to those shows on TV she should black out in a few seconds, and she does (5).
Now to get out of here. You put her in a bag walk downstairs, there's a parking lot underground, and she even has her own car. Amazing (5). As you walk down stairs a middle-aged man walks up to you. "Hey, Tracy! Wow that's a pretty big load you have there. Need a hand?" He says (1). Struggling, you answer: "No, I'm fine. I'm almost at my car. Hey, uh, I can't remember where I last parked it, did you see it?" "Oh silly Trace, it's right back there at the end. Sure you don't need a hand?" "Positive." He leaves, wow, that was close (6). Now you know what car Tracy drove. You take her out of the bag, and make sure you have all her legal documents. "Now to make her disappearance look natural."
...
You arrive at 7-Eleven, furious. "Hey Frankie!" You walk down to the Tracy's boyfriend. Hopefully he's dumb enough to think you're her again. "Tracy?" he says (4). "I'm sorry about this morning" he tries to apologize. "I don't want your sorries, it's done! I'm leaving" you flash your travel documents. "Out of the country? Trace? What's up?" he asks. "This relationship, I need to rethink my life, I'm leaving. Away, far away. Away from you, away from my parents." "Bu- Tracy? Whats gotten into you? Your parents are long dead remember?" (1). "What she didn't tell me that!" you think. "Damn it Francisco, I'm leaving! Tell whoever's in charge that I quit. OK." You start crying and leave (5). Perfect. Now nobody gonna suspect Tracy Heller's disappearance.

You've a new identity and a clean record, hooray! Where to know? Alabama? Georgia? maybe Mississippi? You will conquer the world one day, but for now, a new state should do.

[techno65535]

We still have to do something about Tracy...

[iceball3]

i say venture into the greatest sewer system in the world to traverse the depths of the earth with your new twin.

[HmH]

If we convince Tracy that staying in Jamestown was but a hurtful stagnation and that we're offering better perspectives, she can be useful. Sort of. You know, most twins are. They can drive your car for you, kill twice as much people with you, and are very fit for some tearjerking sister backstory. Not to mention her having all info about our new identity.

We drive to... er... where other people decide. Right now it's Alabama.
Stockholm syndrome time! Hide our pistols in the glove compartment, take Tracy's cellphone and put it in our jacket. Turn the radio on. When Tracy wakes up, start talking to her. Tell her that we drive to insert_state_name. Explain that we have no moral qualms killing people, but find her an interesting companion, therefore she has excellent chances to live, provided she doesn't turn against us.
"I can't trust you until we know each other, so let's exchange questions, shall we? First question is mine. Where in this car can one of us hide when the cops check our documents? Their lives depend on your answer."

[techno65535]

Ohhhhh, nice. Didn't think about trying to give her Stockholm syndrome.

[ILikePie]

*Their* lives depend on your answer."

Brilliant. :-D


After driving a for a while you take to the side of the road, there aren't any people out here, perfect. You stop and open the luggage compartment. "Hey Tracy, how are you holding up in there?" you say in a pleasant voice. "Here" you hand her a bottle of water, "I thought you might want a drink, so picked up one of these up at a gas station". "Thank you" she says, barely breathing. "You know what Trace, I think it's a bit too stuffy in there, why don't you come sit with me? Would you like that?" You say. "Uhm.. OK I- I guess" she answers (3).
...
You start the car, Tracy is sitting right next to you. "You know Tracy, it's a harsh world out there, and us girls, we have to do everything we can to survive. You get that?" you ask her. "Yeah I guess" she says. "See, if need to hurt people to survive, I'll do that, but not you. I won't hurt you, I like you Tracy. You're nice, successful, you've even got friends. I used to be like you y'know. I had a life." you sound sad for a moment. "Really?" She asks, "What happened?" "I don't.. really know" you continue with the sad tone, "But the thing is, I need a friend now Trace. Would you care to be my friend?" "Oh, yes.. yes of course Susan. I'll be your friend" (4). "This dumb girl has fallen into your trap once again" you think, "perfect". "You know, I don't even know if Susan's my real name" you begin, "So I think, for both of our sakes, I should pretend to be you y'know." "Pretend to be me? but who will I be?" she asks you. "You can be Tracy too, we'll both be Tracy, Tracy Heller. For this to succeed though, one of us will need to hide if anyone ever gets suspicious, hide in this car. Do you know where we can hide?" you say. "Well, yo- I mean, one of us could always hide in the back, in the luggage compartment." she replies. "That could work Tracy," you tell her "you know, we should get know each other, lets talk about our lives a bit"


You're on your way Alabama, and Tracy is now your friend, great job! What now?

[Evergod41]

Flooding of ideas, none of them appropriate...

TA AHIA!

(Or a translations for the gramatical error on this crude and bold statement: Ohio ho! Due north till you hit a lake, stopping every evening, you do all the talkins about correct dormitory facilities, and take our ladie friend in with us afterwards, get creative then...)

[HmH]

Flooding of ideas, none of them appropriate...

Doubled.

Do what Evergod suggested. While on our way to lake, get info about her, her family, her pet, how she eats chocolate cornet - everything we can. Buy ourselves some black dye. Adopt her mannerisms, learn to fake her signature, compare our voices.

[ILikePie]

"So uh, where you going?" Tracy asks you. "*We* are going north, just north. That is, until we decide we should stop." "I- I see, so, what? Ohio? Michigan?" "Yes, something like that" you say. "Tracy," "yes?" she replies. "do you have any family?". "Uhm not really, my parents are dead. I had an uncle too, but he left to Canada or something" she says. "That's too bad.. I don't have much of a family either" you lie "I was left to live in the streets when I was like seven, never seen those asshole 'parents' ever since". "Oh that's terrible" she says (3). "This silence is killing me, do ya like any music?" you ask. "I listen to classical, how about you?" she answers. "I guess classical is fine" you reply. You turn the radio on, sounds like some piano stuff, maybe one of those motzovan guys or something. Seems you have quite of bit of learning to do.
...
Clock says it's 03:27, and your belly says you're hungry. "Hey Trace? Got any cash, I'm hungry." you ask Tracy. "I'm getting hungry too, I have this credit card in my wallet." she says. "Great" you say. You stop at an eatery by some gas station, you both eat up, and continue. "So Trace, how much do you have on that card? It's a long way to Ohio." you ask her. "Not much, I'm sure it'll get y- us there fine." she replies. "Great, we'll sleep in the car then" you say. "Gotta spare every penny."
...
You spend three days eating, refueling and learning the woman's signature before stopping at Chillcothe, Ohio. It's snowing out, you use the last of Tracy's money to buy some warmer clothes and some black dye, you never know when some black paint will come in handy.

Ohio it is, and you are now even more Tracy than Tracy herself. Do we continue to the big city? There ain't much to see here in Chillcothe.


Edit: what do you guys think about moving this into forum games? Technically RTD is a game with multiple players and a story teller, kinda like D&D.

[HmH]

So, Evergod, what were we meant to do in Ohio?
Requesting inventory list. Do we have these $300 on us?

Anyway, the action is following: look for opportunities.

[ILikePie]

Opportunity huh? Well you won't any find any here, Columbus is opportunity! "Hey Tracy" you say, "wanna blow this joint? I've got a place we can go," "Where's that?" she asks. "Columbus." you say handing her a postcard you grabbed from a gas station. "But first, we need some money, any ideas on where we can get that?" you ask her. "Um.. a bank?" she replies. "Oh no, not a bank, they have some money over here" you say. "So we'll borrow some money from the gas station?" "Yeah, borrow, right."
...
You reload your gun quite nicely, if you're gonna borrow some money, a single round won't work. "Trace, hide in the trunk, I'll get some money. Be right back." You wear your sunglasses, if they ever identify you, they'll go after your hostage. You walk up to the counter, "Hey miss" you tell the cashier. "Hi, can I help you?" she answers. "I know this isn't what people usually ask for, but I'd like some money." you say. "Mo- Money? Why should I give *you* any money?" "My father is in the uh- in the hospital, I need some cash so I can go- um, go visit him." you lie. "Oh really? Heh, do you really think I'd fall for that?" (1). You leap over the counter, draw your gun, and hold it against her head (6). "I need some money" you say quietly. Luckily the last customer just left, so you're alone now (5). "I um, ok ok, I'll give your money, just don't shoot me. PLEASE!" (4). "Where is it?!" you press the gun against her head harder. "In the register, there should be about $300 in total." You see two $100 bills, a $50 bill some other 20s, 10s, and 5s. You grab the $250 dollars (3). "Forget about everything that happened here, you understand?" "yes" she says. "Good. If whatever happened here ever finds it's way to the police I'll have to you kill, get it," you take a look at her name tag "Laura?". "Yes, yes, please go now" Laura says. You leave.
...
You drive off and away before stopping at the side of the freeway to let Tracy out of the trunk. "Did you get the money?" She asks. "Yeah, I got some money." "So are we off to Columbus?" "Yes" you reply.
...
You drive for another day before arriving at Columbus, Ohio. Food and gas cost you $75. You've now got $475, 21 rounds, some dye, a roll of duck tape, and some lighter fluid and matches. You're in one of the largest cities in Ohio, everything reeks of opportunity. What now?


I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow morning, I'll be back next week.

[iceball3]

look for a comfy alleyway to park our car into. we need somewhere to live and we can't us up all our money just yet.

[Evergod41]

So, Evergod, what were we meant to do in Ohio?

I live in Ohio, I know more about it than anywhere else, plus we needed the distance buffer to learn more about Tracy.

Once we get to Columbus, ....

Wait, what are our long term goals?

[ILikePie]

Wait, what are our long term goals?

World domination! *evil laughter*
Seriously though, not much, whatever you guys decide, though world domination doesn't sound that bad.

Columbus is the closest you'll ever get to opportunity, though, Cleveland might get you even closer, you decide Columbus will do. You wake at around six, Tracy's still sleeping. Tired of living a car, you decide you need proper home, now that you're far away from all the crimes you've committed. You start the car, and decide to go for a little drive, your luck has brought you here nearly unscathed, maybe it'll get you a home too. You find a place, looks cheap enough. THE HUMMINGBIRD, the floor is old and creaky, the beds don't look like much, and it costs $70 a week. Outrageous! (2). You decide to go and get some breakfast, and it's 8:30, supermarkets must be open by now. You find a Kroger, now that is breakfast (4). You buy a baguette and some cheese, that should keep you both satisfied for at least an hour or four. While waiting in line you hear a woman speaking on her phone. "Yes, that's too bad we have to clear out that room. It's rather lonely since Howard died. I need to find someone to keep me company again" she says. She pays and leaves. "Howdy there ma'am" the cashier says. "W- what? Oh hello." you say still following that woman with your eyes. You pay and chase after her, this might just be the break you were looking for (6).
...
"Excuse me miss" you walk up to the old lady. She has dark skin and is well dressed considering the cold weather. "Yes?" "Me and friend. Erm, I heard you on the phone. You have a spare room don't you?" "Quite a few, yes" 'quite a few, that's great' you think (4). "I was thinking, we don't have much money-" "let me guess, you're looking for a place to stay and don't want to live in those 'slums' downtown right?" "Yes" you say (5). "My son William had the same problem" "We- I was thinking maybe we could stay at your place?" you say. "I like your bluntness young lady. Hmm.. I have been a bit lonely since Howard passed away, and I couldn't let you two live outside in such terrible weather" (4) a chilly breeze passes by, cutting her off. "You'd have to pay me though, we aren't communists as Howard would say" (2) "Well, miss, I'd have to decline your offer then. We don't have much of a job, nor do we have a lot of money" you say sadly. "Oh don't worry, we'll figure something out." she says. "Here let me take you to the house. The name's Samantha by the way".
...
You arrive at the house, and house is an understatement, the word mansion would be more appropriate. You bring Tracy over too, and introduce to her to Mrs. Samantha. You are given the a mini apartment inside her house, you can sleep, eat and even store your stuff in here. $465 and some bullets and a woman who's dumb enough to give you her home in one of the biggest cities in Ohio what now?


I did some googling and noticed there are no Safeways in Ohio, what the heck's a Kroger? Anyway, see you in a week guys.
