Despite liking your new "kidnappers", you're still a little apprehensive about changing your personality, clothes, etc. You tell Pops that this was supposed to be the day to recieve your new clothes, and take a break
"Well, you are lookin' a little grungy- although we're not the cleanest folks around here!" with a hearty laugh. He shows you around the rest of the house
3 bedrooms, and two bathrooms, a pretty standard ranch house. Funiture is sparse, mostly woodden chairs. THe master has a Queen bed, while the other 2 each have two SIngle sized beds. The other members of the gang live in cottages up the street. Actually, youy learn that they're truckers and are only here every other month or so. The whole house smells like cigars and irritate your lungs. "Snake, get your ass over here!" yells. A tough looking man who you guess in inyour 20's runs up. Your relieved- he was one of the ones who didn't laugh. He has a goatee, with a dark black crewcut. "Snake here is the nicest..."
"Nice pop? I'm no pansy!"
"Heh, well, I think your pretty patient and forgiving, and I want you to show Gus here the ropes." Pop then gives you a hard manly pat on the back on walks off.
"Yes, sir" says Snake and smiles. He does he seem pretty nice, and he says 'Hey, lil bro, let's go shopping!"
You drive down to the local "county store" that sells clothes, food, anything. Snake leads you out of the car and unlocks the front door. THe store is empty. He explains that he works here. Not all bears have jobs like lumberjacks and construction workers, but we're all manly, and we'll make you into one too!" he says with a laugh. HE's quite well muscled and has only a slight beer belly. "A bear, or a man" you ask, a little nervous
"Heh, too young to be a bear, even in 5 years, but we'll sure put some muscles, face hair, and some manly habits on you!" says Snake good-naturedly.
"They're nicer than Damon, but this is going to be aa very long 5 years...." you thikn to yourself
He gets you some new boxers, and you don't have the heart to tell him that you think they're uncomforbale. Several plaid shirts and a jean jacket. "Sorry, Gus gotta to work to wear those. N' time, N' Time" Snake says. For now, you find out you'll wear White t shirts and wife beaters. And since the mens' shirts back home we'ren't too neat, you're sure you wont be putting on new clothes too often.
BAck at home, after a hearty meal of mashed potatoes and chiken fried steak, you fall asleep, wondering what tommorow will bring...
