Ask about the town
From Create Your Own Story
"Actually, I was wondering what the town here is like. Since I'm going to be here a couple days, I should get acquainted with it."
Gabriella nods. "Well, it's a bit off the beaten path. We don't get electricity run out here, and we don't have a gas station. No phone service, either."
"But, I just used the phone!" You exclaim
"Yup. That's not a landline. It's a satellite phone. We also have electricity here in the hotel, but only because we run off a generator. Several of the homes in town have generators. We're a farming town, mostly. We get gasoline for the equipment trucked in about three times a week, along with other supplies. We're a fairly self sufficient town, but most of our young people move away."
She continues, "Doesn't make it any easier that we have that nutcase living on the hill. He does as he sees fit without considering how it affects the rest of us down here. He plays with nature, you know. He doesn't do it for any specific reason, just to see what happens, or what morbid creatures he can come up with. He lets them loose sometimes, too." She ends bitterly.
"Are you talking about Doctor Nicholae Kreuger?" you ask. The man you met was a little strange, but he didn't strike you as the mad scientist type.
"So his name's Nicholae, is it?" she asks. "That'd be the one"
The conversation's getting a bit off topic, so you decide to reign it back in. "So, do you know where I can get a meal here?"
Gabriella nods. "Yup. Just next door there's a bar. They serve food, too. Otherwise, there's another bar on the other side of town. It's hard to miss."
