"Helloooo Desert folk!" A warm and cheery voice comes from the busted radio, night still developing on the whole desert, it was what you could guess 1:00 AM (if the radio host was correct, he was almost always correct), and with the concept of driving without sleep in your head, it was getting tiresome to even blink. Your headlights were almost busted, so you had to look closely and really slowly at whatever was coming your way (Not that anything will come your way, but still).

"May I just say to our dear truckers listening today, that you look positively radiant!" The host says still cheery as always, which was considerably weird since no one would be cheery in any form or way "And considering the darkness of the desert? Well that's saying something" The radio host says as he puts a track to start spinning

"Incoming trucker/*/Incoming Trucker/*/Do you cop?/*/" a deadpan voice asks from your radio comm "I repeat/*/Do you copy?/*/" It seems they are trying to speak more but the chatter is cut by the Comm interference and static

Someone talking to you? in the middle of the night? Well it may be bandits from Bastardo getting a relapse....That meant trouble...

"Trucker here/*/What seems to be the problem?" You answer the Comm in a calmed manner, there was no point in not answering, Bandits aren't that many around here, and the ones that were are actually more controlled than most of them.

"Hello Madam/*/ Just telling you to watch out for the big ugly hole my guys dug out/*/Me and my guys are currently filling it with explosives for an assassination/*/ Turns out we created some sort of impasse during the diggin'! /*/ Normally we would be robbing you, but were currently occupied with fixing the road /*/ You should be getting near it, so please go off road for a few seconds /*/ Thank you very much /*/" The probably bastardo-settler says to you, the Comm now clearer than before meaning you were getting closer to them...

See? Not much harm in just answering around these parts

Surely enough, some make-shift cones have been scattered through the Dessert road, the sign clearly saying "CONSTRUCTION NEARBY". Taking this as your cue you go a few tens of meters off road and follow your sense of direction and instinct, off road is fairly dangerous if youre not careful

>Roll SKL stat (SKL, Skill relates to everything that requires both dexterity, subtlety, and sleight of hand, (Stealth roll, Agility rolls, Ability rolls) It also measures how silent and and subtle your truck can be, as well as how well it can hide things from the plain eye)

Crap I knew I forgot to write something in

You try your best, you really do, but the bumpy sands, the shift in terrain, most of the things you forgot happen to trucks happen this time, by the end of it all, you are lost.

Very, very lost.

"/*/ Um miss? are you lost? /*/" The previous man said from earlier "/*/ I'm sending you one of my boys to escort you to the nearest road /*/ Don't worry nugget, You'll be on the road in no time! /*/" Welp, guess you had to wait now, you feel ashamed"

A few minutes later and a small car with massive headlights in front of it gets in front of you and starts honking, You honk him back knowing well that he's the escort that was told to bring you back on the road, meanwhile, another songs starts coming up on the radio

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9G0-4TWwew

Another 3 minutes come by and you end up in a road again, as a thank you, you give the man that escorted you 10K Duolons, the man calmly accepts them and wishes good luck on your trip.

Just a little bit more now

Jotaseta...You could almost smell the religion...It smelled like not Dessert and things to come....

>LORE UNLOCKED

>Jotaseta: Someone built Jotaseta as a refugee camp, Someone revolutionized Jotaseta as a prisoner camp, Someone killed its previous owner and turned it into a sanctuary for the devout and religious before religions revolutionized the Desert themselves, That's why people call it the Mecca for praying, Flagellating, Sacrificing, Dining or whatever your specific religion caters to you, Nobody in Jotaseta seems to mind on what you pray, but don't think this is a welcoming gesture to throw shit around the place like a monkey and pray for the ironic voodoo magic dong, There's a reason priests stopped following the code of "Thou shalt not kill"

The place was filled to the brim with altars, preaching priests, and candles filling through the air, a flying contraption being anchored to the rooftop of the main cathedral

>Head towards an altar, Truckers can pray too, y'know?
>Kill time and go around the place, taking the sights
>Look for a proper job in the main cathedral.
>Head towards a needy priest (He looks shady)

You head towards the main Cathedral, there's good money inside the Cathedral no thanks to the amount of priests that seems to lack any priestly traits worth of notice, besides you could probably get yourself a good praying once you're in there.

The cathedral in there is nothing short of gigantic and amazing, gold was adorned near the windows and concrete filled the walls being shown in a white face for the ongoing devotes filling their morning prayers, It was clearly evident that while it was never explicitly told, it was a Jesus Christ church thanks to its very reminiscent architecture of the old books found in the Ciudad de Dios caverns. Still plenty of different religions were gathered in the place, you can add your little grain of sand if you want to...

>Pray to Jesus Christ, Endless warrior of the unseen west and timeless challenger of the Sky eater (+1 to IRN)
>Pray to the four emperors, Kings of madness and protectors of the insane as well as the written and spoken tongue (+1 to CHR)
>Pray to the Reykjavík, God of the north, who resides in the white spike and protects Truckers and Travelers from insanity and depravation ( +1 to MND)
>Pray to the Oro Serpent, The giant serpent made of gold that holds the Desert together from the wind and the Sky eater, enveloping the needy with a coat of cold sand (+1 to SKL)
>Pray to the Sky eater, Because you always wanted to die young (Unlock perk: Firestarter)
>Pray to you, Because believing in the gods imply that you are in some form incapable of becoming truly limitless (Unlock perk: Atheist)

Of course a trucker would pray to a trucker god. I'm assuming we're only faithful because we're superstitious enough to assume it benefits us.

You pray to Reykjavík. Mostly out of the fact that out of all the main religions, he's the only one that seems to actually support truckers and others entities

>LORE UNLOCKED

> Reykjavík: Constructor of the "highway" and creator of most things Truckers hold dear to them, like communications (he once shouted really, REALLY hard to his brother), electricity (He wrestled a cloud for some nearly dead truckers until he made it cry, when it was out of tears, the cloud started crying lightning and he captured it for mass production), fuel (He dug out the remains of the fight amongst the giants, crushing it into dust so as to drink it as a wine) and other knick knack here and there.

You pray in incomprehensible tones and low-brow songs. You scratch your skin until the dead cells come off and rub them on your forehead, symbolizing something you forgot a long time ago., Your brain starts catching on fire while freezing at the same time. You start encompassing everything that surrounds you as well as everything that isn't. Your voice becomes deeper and more dead, your movements as well. Your confusion becomes a conclusion to an unanswered question while your incongruence's the sum of answers without questions themselves.

Some fellow religious men start singing after seeing your display of preaching. Religious songs start filling the air around you, and you can't help to sing along too.

> +1 MND!

The world is a bliss by the time you open your eyes to it, you saw things people shouldn't, talked with enigmas and played with virtues and questions...

You get up from your praying position, noticing the other men keep singing the songs, clearly ignoring you, it seems you were just a reason for them to start singing, nothing else than that.

You head off to the job department section, looking for anyone in particular that might look important or have a vibe of a "Quest-giver" or something like that. Thankfully enough a job board was conveniently put right next to the spot where most truckers go to pray for Reykjavík. It was littered with different messages that vary from "Please go towards the "Highway" and go towards the end of it (You simply can't)" to "I can't find toilet paper and I'm stuck inside my room" but from all that mishmash you can see some good jobs

>"I need to go towards a certain house west of here, will be rewarded with 500K Duolons, please answer quick -signed, Miguel"
>"Take this cargo and give it to the guys in the Nagisan Checkpoint, Will deliver 800K to you, be quick -J'lae"
>"Need a ride, Have 20K, Take me to Paradiso, don't eat much, Have more money next time you visit. -Howard"

You take the paper, carefully looking at the address and timestamp of the note, it wasn't that far off really, you could just go there walking, so that's what you're gonna do.

The walk brings you towards a small concrete shack, not too shabby in any way that could be described as simple by pretty much anyone that wasn't insane.

You knock on the door for a little hoping anyone that's their answers quickly "Hello? I've come here for the job? is anyon-"

"YES, COME IN, QUICK!" A jumpy masculine voice comes from the other side "I SAID QUICK!" He says as he opens the door and forcefully drags you inside the concrete hut. As he opens it you see the guy is actually a small kiddo in probably his early-twenties.

"YOU ARE THE DELIVERY GIRL?! TAKE THE BIG BOX!" He shouts as he points at the elongated box "DONT OPEN IT, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING DONT OPEN IT" The Kid says as he shakes his finger.

"Okay...I won't open it, When is the payment?" You ask once the kid stops shaking.

"PARADISO, NOW GO, QUICK" The kid shouts once again as he pushes the box towards you "NOW. PLEASE. GO"

"Okay. Okay I'll go. Hope that payment is th-"

"GO"

You take the cue and quickly leave with the long shaped box.

After some divagation you pack the box in the back of your truck. It was definitely heavy, and took some effort to put it in, but in the end the box is locked tight in your cargo container. You made sure not to succumb to curiosity and open the box as well.

>Go now, no point in staying here.
>Stay for a while, maybe there's more around
> WHAT'S IN THE BOX? WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!

Just stick our head near it so that we can be sure it's not ticking or anything.

You decide to leave now, the sun has set itself on the horizon once again (You really spent more than half a day praying?!) and the stars are beginning to shine through.

There's just one thing....

WHAT'S INSIDE THAT BOX?!

IT'S SO CURIOUS, SO INTREPID, SO SENSUAL IN ITS WAY OF LOOKING AT YOU, GODAMN IT YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT'S IN THE BOX SO HAAARD

But let's be professionals about it. You put your ear near the box and try to listen to whatever is in there....

You try to hear, try to make out what sort of thing would be needed to lock the box so tightly, you tried, you really did.

...But that godamned wire...

You trip on a loose wire that was supposed to be connected to a power generator inside your truck. with that trip you come crash down the box and break it open like a nutshell.

"Oweee.." A voice not yours comes from the heap "Y-y-you Baka".....Baka?....

Oh...god no...

....You've never asked for this....

>LORE UNLOCKED

>Native Nagisans: Most Nagisans have adapted to the Desert's way of living, accepting its culture, and taking in the knowledge they receive. But some Nagisans still hold the belief they really need to keep their root strong, this is okay. What is not okay is what the Native Nagisans do. Butchering words to fit their weird kind of talk, screaming loudly so as to stand out because they're the prettiest snowflake around, being a generally massive pain in the ass, that's only the surface of what these kind of people can do, and it's all justified by them because of some dumb book Archaeologists found from an ancient library (They even dismissed the contents inside the book as a entertainment piece for young people). But surely enough the Natives tough it was a holy book and now you see them adding dumb suffixes to people's names

"Y-y-you Baka, I thought this was going to be fun! To hang around with Senpai as he cuddled me!....but if you are going to bring me to my beautiful home....Then I guess you're my new senpai!"

This is what you get for not obeying the rules...

>And that's it! Ask anything you want and please check my twitter (https://twitter.com/nerokiller12) For more info on my quests! (also despite FEAQ Bombing last time, I will try to set up something tomorrow if I can)
