On the previous episode...
Option 1 (celebrate the fact that you survive and LIVE!) got one vote,
Option 2 (contemplate the fact that a mortal being who loved you has petrified) got no votes [how cruel you lot are!],
Option 3 (find the most recognizable rocks (which was once Troll) and try to sell them for a fortune later on) got three votes [oh, how opportunistic you lot are! I like, haha!],
The four players gave me these words, which I will try to include in today's episode (appearing in bold): clamorous, ruby, banana pie, succulent, bossy, sigh, happy, boisterous, adventurous, unexcused, absence and sorry.
Well, I'm still here. My name's Steel, and I'm living trough the most adventurous adventure! I was chased by the cops, but I got picked up by a travelling freak-show. I smooched with the Jester only to find out she was married to a Troll. I smooched with him too, until daylight came and turned him into stone. He exploded in a thousand pieces just before he would've killed me. Just my luck!
And my luck wasn't over yet! While everybody was still standing flabbergasted by the petrification and explosion of one of their crew, I started acting like I was desperately trying to salvage the Troll, shouting 'Sorry!' and pretending to put the pieces back together in a naive attempt to save him. But in reality I was collecting bits of rock and putting them into my pockets: I found an ear here, a hand holding a banana pie there, a foot with dirty toenails yonder, and just when I was about to collect the 'piece-de-resistance' (apparently the troll had been happy to see me and my kiss had had an unintended effect) I was approached by Morgan Freedom, the bossy Dwarf-leader of the Freakshow.
-"Oi, Steel, what's up with that? Kissing my best freaks until they 'xplode?"
-"I'm sorry, Morgan, it just... happened..." I replied with a sigh.
-"I'm afraid I can't let you get away with that. I had to sack the last fella who went 'round doin' stuff like that. Van Hellser, or sommit, Van Sing something, can't remember. Drove stakes through the 'eart of me best Vampyres. Bubbles still got nightmares 'bout that."
-"Sack me already? Man, I just arrived yesterday, I thought I was a freak worthy of your show, Morgan!"
"Lookit, mate, I'm afraid Imma gonna hafta letya go. My hands are tied here, I gotta keep these clamorous and boisterous freaks happy. I hope you understand. I did promise ya a new life, so here's a fake ID and driver's license for ya. The cops ain't got nothing on ya no more. And take this precious and shiny ruby, if you're smart, you'll never 'ave to work agin'."
With that, the freak-show left, leaving me standing there in the marshes. The precious ruby felt a bit plastic-ish, but then again, little do I know about gemstones. I took a glance at my new name and identity. From now on, I wasn't Steel anymore, I was now Chris P. Bacon and ready to make a fortune with my Troll-rocks!
Now choose an option:
OPTION 1: Go back to your hometown, with the risk of running into the cops.
OPTION 2: Go further through the marshes, hey, what's is that over there, looks like some kind of flea market...
There you have it, this is Steel Hard Fork 8, choose your option in the comments and feel free to add three words. The option with the most votes is how the story continues. Next episode should/could come in 48 hours of this post. It may be sooner or later, depending on how much time I can find. Have fun!
I didn't get to use these words: succulent and unexcused absence, sorry!
Cheeky little bastard this Steel, umm, I mean Chris P Bacon... I think I'll call him CeePee
Going back to his hometown... no way, I don't think so... Troll rocks, plastic ruby... flea market... umm hellooooo... Option 2 it is.
I have three words, too... well names... because there's a mystery that needs to be investigated: Peter, Paul, Phineas
Alright, a new mystery, looks like we're going to have to dig into that! :D

My words are: Sklave, rubbish and superiority.
The story really turned out very very exciting! Bravo!

Oh my God, of course I wanted to write "slave"... Oops :)
Haha, no worries, slave it is then! :)

Haha or maybe some art..... 😎 Words will do just fine ;)
Hehehe, nah, I'll try to get that in! :D
Very strong speeches. Really good story
As mentioned in the post: I've divided and transfered 5 SBD between the 8 players who have played since the first episode of Steel/Chris P. Bacon, with the amount of sent SBD relative to the number of times they've chosen an option (not upvotes/resteems/...). Thanks again and enjoy the SBD!
