Wait, were the two of them (Flors and George) married? Because if so, that means I technically made a widow out of George.

Neat.

It's kinda funny, but I had a post I was working on based on the fact the Driftwood was apparently actually currently a legit place in Texas (it's the home of a rather famous barbecue joint, The Salt Lick) and I went on this weird-as-heck tangent that ended up with the possibility for some hardcore private military/security contractors to show up, but then I figured no one wanted to read or deal with that, so I deleted it.

A couple of dozen years here and some alternate/divergent history there, and most places in the game's present could be as unrecognizable to people who've been/lived there in our real world present as the places that have been hit with virii-laden meteor fragments.
The barbecue joint, though? That would have remained unchanged (save for perhaps the owners), like all good food joints.

if anyone wants to know the major cities in TN are
1. Nashville
2. Memphis
3. Knoxville
4. Chattanooga
5. Clarksville
6. Murfreesboro
7. Fraklin
8. Jackson
9. Johnson City.
Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville are the three big cities of Tennessee. I live in Morristown which is only 25th largest city in Tennessee. However Morristown TN also happens to be the film location were Evil Dead was film.

I been to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. It's amazing amusement park, I had a lot of fun when I went there. Places like Bristol TN have historical significance. Bristol TN is the birth place of country music, and the home of Nascar's most iconic racing track, The Bristol Motor Speed Way.

One of these days I really need to figure out what Gula is referring to by "bad memory"
This is not the day for the internet to be on the constant hiccups.
Anyway:
Sorry. It's not a good reason, but IRL hair-trigger temper is bleeding through to things that are completely unrelated.
For clarification on what she's referring to, though:
So, we have this exchange that starts one supposed bathroom break after Gula's last disaster of an attempt at conversing in which Lucy presumably claims to be a Joestar. When Gula picks up on the exchange and responds with:
Lucy in turn comes back with:
Which has Gula thinking that Lucy forgot what she literally just said seconds ago (the exchange between her and Toby), as that's the only way that her reply made any sense (the possibility that an individual with sufficient integrity to refuse freely offered food despite being obviously hungry because accepting charity when you can earn your way is bad would in turn lie about being a Joestar in order to partake of a portion of a dead man's estate never really entered Gula's head, for some reason). That led to this:
Which went unanswered. As that happens a lot in a lot of different games here (and the GM had done a mini-timeskip) I went ahead and- instead of trying to bring a post probably not worth exploring to your attention- assumed both question and insult were dodged in the same (or similar) manner as the Girl Scout inquiry, which was internalized in Gula's headspace as "this person has really bad memory that's probably being exacerbated due to being really hungry".

Ahhh, I see.
Hilariously, the original point of that exchange was Lucy tested the host in regards to just how much scrutiny they were affording anyone who volunteered as a Joestar. This was right after she heard George and Flor talking in the bathroom.
She never out plainly says "I am a Joestar"....rather dances around it with "Are you looking Joestars?" "Do you guys require some sorta proof? I might have it."
The goal, in her mind, was to see if they had any specific way of telling a joestar from any regular country hick that showed up....and how strict they were with the process considering two men had seemingly slipped in themselves. So when Gula proclaimed her a Joestar she was offering her honest advise on his assumption. "but please be careful. You wouldn't wish to mistake any common thug as your family"
And wouldn't you know it.....30 minutes(Estimate, I can't remember how long lol) later they were on a death bus with three people who the family had mistaken for allies.....and nobody even bothered to check Lucys Letter after!
Major updates planned for tomorrow.
The group will most likely be splitting up into "hospital" and "exploration" teams (not actual teams, but whatever) and both might just find that Driftwood has its own share of oddities to discover.
Or the group can decide, "screw this" and force Boris to walk several hours on a busted leg to the estate just to spite me.
Supposedly, Flors and George had letters (whether they're actually Joestars or not still hasn't actually been determined), and literally no one's bothered to check for the star on the neck birthmarks (mentioned earlier as one of the ways to check - whether that's actually a true method to check hasn't been absolutely confirmed yet, either).
As for the driver that was mistaken to be an ally, there's quite a bit there that hasn't been unpacked yet.
spoilers:end of spoilers
Like, how did whoever decided to pick Joestars up even know to stop at the Junction Stop? I'm reasonably certain (unless I just missed it) that none of the PCs called for a pick up. Debra's also giving really suspicious vibes, what with the inconsistencies between what she's said and done thus far.

I mean ignoring the rest of it... wasn't Fleetwood Mac able to track everyone down to the Truck Stop?
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

If I was going to give a possible, plausible explanation for that, it seemed like he may have had a list of names of possible Jostar progeny. He did have pictures of people with the birthmarks and stories of mysterious accidents befalling many of them. If he did have a list, all he would need to do is either follow one and hope that person led him to the others, or he may have known about the will reading and was on his way there when he happened to recognize someone from his list at the truck/bus stop.
