Adventure of gman 1

Gman and Player move deeper beneath dripping branches, leaving the cabin and unconscious Officer Rusk behind. Wet leaves hush their footsteps as the forest closes around them.

Somewhere beyond the trees, an old public-address speaker crackles awake. The sound is thin and distorted, but the voice carries through the rain.

The final word stretches into a burst of static. Then the speaker falls silent, leaving only rain, branches, and the faint settling creak of its hidden housing.

Player turns slowly between the tree trunks, searching for the speaker's position. No building shows through the darkness, and the broadcast offers no road, distance, or explanation.

Gman points through the dripping branches, angling his hand toward a faint line of rooftops beyond the trees. A weathered school sign catches a brief flash of lightning.

Player follows the gesture and spots the same dark roofline. Rain beads on his revolver as he lowers it, shifting the small pack higher on his shoulder.

The forest floor slopes gently toward the school. Through the rain, a chain-link fence and a squat entrance emerge between the trunks, confirming the route.

Gman and Player follow the fence line toward the school. Behind a curtain of wet ivy, they find a weatherproof speaker box bolted to a maintenance shed, its cable running into the darkness.

Gman clears the ivy enough to expose the speaker grille. The movement shakes loose a rusted bracket, which clatters against the shed and sends a sharp report through the rain.

The speaker crackles awake. Static swallows the first syllables, then a thin recorded voice pushes through the rain before the failing unit cuts it into fragments.

The speaker dies with a dry pop. A tiny red indicator fades, and the shed falls silent except for rain ticking on its metal roof.

They enter through a side door into the dark school. Rainwater shines on lockers, and the recorded message guides them toward a hallway marked CLASSROOMS.

A classroom door stands ajar. Inside, an adult deer woman teacher, with a narrow muzzle and dark eyes with a slim build, tawny fur, and a blue cardigan stands motionless beside overturned desks. Her antlers cast branching shadows across the wall.

Her head turns toward the doorway with a stiff, delayed motion. Her eyes are filmed pale, and a dark wound beneath her collar has dried into the fabric.

The deer woman releases a low, rasping groan and takes one unsteady step toward them. Behind her desk, a child-sized hiding space rustles, followed by a frightened breath.

The explanation carries across the classroom, raising the infected teacher's attention. Her paw tightens around a wooden ruler, and the desks scrape as she lifts it.

Before the ruler can swing, a young bunny-girl springs from behind the table. Tawny ears frame her frightened face; a black eyepatch covers her left eye, and she grips a handmade bow.

Bunny, a slight rabbit girl in a red raincoat and muddy boots, releases an arrow. It strikes the teacher, and the infected deer woman drops rigidly against the overturned desks, stunned. The bowstring snaps with a sharp twang.

The teacher remains motionless for now, ruler loose in her hand. Bunny keeps the bow raised toward her, breathing hard as rain taps the dark windows.

Bunny lowers her broken bow and slips through the classroom doorway. Gman follows as she leads him down a dim stairwell toward the basement.

A hidden service door stands open at the bottom, revealing shelves, stored water, and a battery lantern. The route is clear, and Bunny knows the school below.

Beside the lantern waits Mr. P, an adult male with russet skin and a green sprout at his crown,, a large potato resting upright in a small wheeled crate, marked with a handwritten face and name.

The basement air grows strangely heavy. Bunny sways beside the crate, and gman's vision blurs behind his white mask as both of them lose consciousness.
