Hey, um.. could you see if there’s anything that can save me from him beating me up?
Impish gets up and clambers around the ledge, surveying the scenery.
<Well, there’s your gun and bayonet, but it’s behind him, so you probably couldn’t reach it in time. However –
He points to Lil Doorknob’s gun, which leans against a corner.
<His gun is within your direct line of reach, if you’re fast enough. It has 3 bullets left, so there’d be enough to get some shots off. You could also just hit him with it.
<However, it’s a risky maneuver. You don’t actually want to hurt the fellow, especially since his friends wouldn’t take kindly to that at all.
<Honestly, from your perspective, maybe the best option is to just lie down and take it.
He pauses.
<BUT! Maybe if you pointed the gun at him, it might buy you some time to talk reason into him. After all, the main concern right now is those two police cars that are still on your tail. Surely a decent, pragmatic man like him would understand priorities.
You attempt to nod, but realize you’re still frozen in time and can’t move.
Yeah, that makes sense! I know I can convince him, especially if I just explain I didn’t really mean to say the N word! He’s a nice guy, and I don’t blame him for getting upset…
<Mhm! For sure.
<Speaking of the cops, I expect you might want some information on them too, yes?
What do you do?
