Time to begin.
It is very dark here. Hardly anything can be seen.

Please recommend an action.

Turn on the damn lights.

>>3195072
>Turn on the damn lights
Unfortunately it's too dark in here it's hard to tell where the lights are.

>>3195083

In that case, search my pockets.

>>3195083
Walk over to the red thing.

>>3195092
>search pockets
Feels like something metallic with a rubber grip. But there's no lighter, matches, or flashlight.

>>3195100
>Walk over to the red thing.
As near as you can tell, the little red light is only a foot or so away from your face.

>>3195100
I figured the red light was you, and you were a robot.

Reach out and grasp for the red light.

>>3195119
>Reach out and grasp for the red light.
Ah, there we go.
Ruby can see now.

watch out! that red light is a train in the distance! I can tell cause WE ARE GETTING RAILROADED.

>>3195145

Cool. Have her examine that thing we found in her pockets.

>>3195145
Grab the handle near the ceiling of the cell.

>>3195161

Don't be so hurtful to others.

>>3195169
>examine that thing we found in her pockets
Apparently, it's a hand-turned can-opener.

>>3195173
>Grab the handle near the ceiling of the cell.
A row of small mesh holes open in the wall, venting in fresh air.

>>3195183

Attempt to tap into her latent vampiric powers to see if she has a high enough level in Protean to turn into mist and escape the cell through the mesh wiring.

Failing that, press every button she can find, in sequence.

>>3195183

Yell, "Is anyone there?".

>>3195161
>WE ARE GETTING RAILROADED
Well he did say the first part of this has been done already, so I'd imagine it'll play out mostly the same way (i.e. same puzzles have the same solutions) until we break new ground, but hopefully he'll at least respond to people who don't happen to do things the exact same way they happened the first time.

>>3195192
>Yell, "Is anyone there?"
Ruby yells, but there's no response. Her voice echoes in the small room.

>>3195190
Sadly, Ruby has no vampiric powers.
>press every button she can find
Ruby gets the feeling that pressing all the buttons would probably be a bad idea. There are buttons of multiple colors -- which one should she try?

>>3195223

For the hell of it, purple.

We already pressed the red button, the green buttons ALWAYS GET PRESSED IN EVERY MEDIA EVER, and the blue button... well, that's pretty, so we don't want to smudge it with our fingerprints just yet.

>>3195235
>For the hell of it, purple.
Sweet success! Ruby presses the purple button and the top of the cell suddenly opens up to cool, clean air!

>>3195245

Well, awesome.

Toss the can opener up in the air and catch it.

>>3195245

get out, look around

>>3195257

You dumbass, what if there's an automated security drone waiting to blast your goddamned head off?

>>3195257
>get out, look around
Ruby surveys her surroundings. There are no doors here, except for a portal on the north wall of this room. Unfortunately, there are metal shutters over the door.

>>3195268

search that trashcan in the back or whatever that is

and

check the shelves

>>3195268

Look for a way to open that other cell. More friends would be nice right now.

>>3195279
>search that trashcan in the back
Ruby tries her best, but the lid of the barrel refuses to be pulled from its base. It won't open.

>check the shelves
Do you mean the metal shutters? They're blocking the portal to the north.

>>3195291

oh shit they;re not shelves, it's another cell.

attempt to open cell, if it doesn't work press the buttons on top of it.

use can opener on can thing in the back.

>>3195328

Oh, sure, steal my idea. That's cool.

>>3195289
>Look for a way to open that other cell.
The cell/locker/coffin on the ground has a latch on the outside, but it's sealed with what appears to be a digital lock. There's no obvious way to undo the lock from the locker itself.

>>3195334

Damn, if we had a cell phone we could call Tank and have him upload hacking knowledge into Ruby's head.

Okay, first off, can I get a loadout of all of Ruby's abilities, general knowledges, and physical capabilities?

>>3195328
>use can opener on can thing in the back.
The barrel's lid comes up with the can-opener's tenacious efforts!
Inside there's a few small lengths of BARE ELECTRICAL WIRE, but nothing else.

>>3195363

Well, shit, she's a rabbit. There's some wire. Chew on that shit!

>>3195363

Firstly, shlick furiously.

Then check the terminal next the door.

>>3195363
>Chew wires.

>>3195359
Ruby stows a piece of wire in her inventory.
>get a loadout of all of Ruby's abilities, general knowledges, and physical capabilities?
Ruby has no magical or otherwise extraordinary powers. She has no knowledge of where she is or how she got here, and though she is not a specialist and holds no particularly special knowledge she is reasonably competent with things most people would be.
Her physical capabilities are varied. She's limber, in good shape, but not particularly strong.
She is currently carrying:
CAN-OPENER
BARE LENGTH OF WIRE

>>3195397
>chew on wire
Ruby is above such primitive practices as chewing on wire and cannibalizing her young. If she had any.
And besides, that would not be productive right now!

>>3195363

Pocket the wire and knock on the other cell.

>>3195400
>shlick furiously
Ruby has slightly bigger concerns at the moment. Slightly.
But besides, there could be hidden cameras around!

>check the terminal next the door
It would appear these controls are out of order. But even Ruby can tell this looks like an easy fix. Firstly, one of the wires is missing. Splicing it back together would be easy enough with the BARE LENGTH OF WIRE Ruby found. Then, there are connectors at the back of the control panel itself, so it will need to be screwed back into place.

>>3195415
>knock on the other cell
Ruby knocks insistently on the metal locker cell, but there's no audible or visible response.

>>3195464

Hmmm... fine. But as soon as we're somewhere where there are definitely no cameras, the Revolution begins!

UP WITH MINISKIRTS! DOWN WITH PANTIES!

Um... can we open the trap a tthe back left corner, but not go down yet in case there's no ladder?

I nearly had a joygasm when I saw the OP's picture, but then I realized it wasn't the top of Max's head.

FOR SHAME.

>>3195512
>UP WITH MINISKIRTS! DOWN WITH PANTIES!

Ruby's definitely wearing the former, but how do we know she's wearing the latter?

>>3195520
>can we open the trap a tthe back left corner, but not go down yet in case there's no ladder?
Unfortunately, it's the other way around!
There's some kind of access shaft in the corner of the room, complete with a ladder set into the wall, but it's barred off and Ruby can't fit through!

>>3195522
I would just like to extend a FUCK YEAH to the thought of Max and also to you I guess

>>3195527

You make a persuasive argument.

Request Ruby checks to see if she's wearing panties today.

>>3195542
highfive.jpg

Move the remains of the barrel to one side, see if anything lies under it.

>>3195563
>Move the remains of the barrel to one side, see if anything lies under it.
Ruby tries to shove the big barrel aside, but her physique is just too admirably girlish. It won't budge.

Create a saw using the barrel pieces, wrapping the handle with the BARE ELECTRICAL WIRE.
Attempt to saw through bars

>>3195590
>Create a saw using the barrel pieces, wrapping the handle with the BARE ELECTRICAL WIRE. Attempt to saw through the bars.
Not only would a saw made of razor-sharp barrel-metal and bare wire be INCREDIBLY dangerous to use in ANY way, it certainly wouldn't have the durability or control to cut through these bars, which appear to be a stronger metal than the barrel anyway.

You do get +1 INGENUITY for your idea though.

Check the terminal situated on the wall behind the barrel

>>3195549

Seconded. I think it's an important peice of information that needs to be established before we take any further action.

>>3195603
Attempt to fashion a crude screwdriver using the barrel shards and either the handle of the can-opener (if it slides off easily) or, by shredding off part of the currently worn clothing.

>>3195615
>by shredding off part of the currently worn clothing
Ruby sees where you're going with this.

>>3195608
>>3195549
>Is Ruby wearing panties today?
Yes. A quick check verifies she's got her underwear accounted for.

>>3195604
>Check the terminal situated on the wall behind the barrel
The digital console appears to be waiting for a command.

>>3195629
Saw that, was not going there. Intended to remove an extraneous piece of clothing for the sake of hand-protection, not for /tg/'s fapping pleasure.

Enter command, "open locker"

>>3195636

While we're at it, enter command "sound horn"

>>3195635
>part of an extraneous
fix'd

>>3195635
>Intended to remove an extraneous piece of clothing for the sake of hand-protection
Ruby doesn't have enough clothing on for anything to really be considered extraneous.

>>3195636
>Enter command, "open locker"
That seemed to do something. A soft click comes from the other locker.

>>3195636
Also, enter "open door".

>>3195642
>While we're at it, enter command "sound horn"
The console doesn't appear to recognize that command.

>>3195655
>enter "open door".
That got a response, but unfortunately the results weren't what Ruby had hoped for.

>>3195657
Enter command
mov 0 1.

Then see if the locker opens

I guess we should look in that other locker now.

>>3195651
>>3195657
>>3195663
I just realized I messed up and the barrel appears closed in all these. Obviously, it should be open.

... can we open the locker now plz?

>>3195671
the shreds fell in from when she tried to make a saw then realized it was a horrible idea.

>>3195668
>>3195673
>open the locker
Ruby takes the two small coins off the top of the locker and pockets them. She opens it up to find...

There's no one inside the locker.
Instead, all that's inside is a pair of rubber gloves.

>>3195687

That's a lot of evidence pointing to that Shlicking session...

>>3195687
Don the gloves, fix the terminal with the wire, and screw it together using one of the coins?

Return to console

Enter "open access shaft"

>>3195694
>That's a lot of evidence pointing to that Shlicking session...
Heavy rubber gloves don't make for very enjoyable shlicking!

>>3195701
>Enter "open access shaft"
It's asking for a code.

>>3195716
inspect the coins

>>3195699
>Don the gloves, fix the terminal with the wire, and screw it together using one of the coins?
A brilliant idea, especially since it negates the possibility of electrocution.
Ruby sets to work splicing the door panel's wires back together.

>>3195720
>inspect the coins
The two coins seem to just be ordinary-looking quarters.
But the edges make functional screwdrivers for the flathead screws in the panel!

Ruby screws the repaired panel back in place, and the UP ARROW button lights up green.

>>3195735
Press the green button, then do one last check of the room

>>3195738
>Press the green button
Here goes nothing.
Ruby presses the button.

>>3195745
The metal shutters start to lift...

...oh.

[ANIMATED!]

>>3195749
oh big blue light source of plot development?

>>3195749

If it moves, take cover behind the coffin.

>>3195749
...it would appear that Ruby is underwater.

>>3195772
WHAT

push down arrow
open access shaft 017

Take off gloves, reach out, touch the water

>>3195772
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

>>3195783
>push down arrow
The down arrow still isn't lit, and doesn't respond to being pressed.

>>3195785
>Take off gloves, reach out, touch the water
Thankfully, there's a big glass window separating Ruby from a horrible drowning death.

Look outside, see how far it is to the surface. Also, see if any predatory fish are visible.

>>3195783
>enter "open access shaft 017"
Using the number on the plaque outside as a reference, Ruby attempts to try opening the bars to the access shaft via the computer terminal once more.

>>3195822
>Look outside, see how far it is to the surface. Also, see if any predatory fish are visible.
The water is murky. Ruby can see neither the surface nor any details on the sea life swimming past the glass.

>>3195826
After entering the code, the bars on the grate finally slide open with a loud "clank"! The access shaft is accessible!

>>3195833
go down

Climb down. Hope nothing reaches up the shaft and grabs her from below.

>>3195840
>Climb down. Hope nothing reaches and shafts her from below.
Fix'd

>>3195849
>>Climb down. Hope something reaches and shafts her from below.
fix'd again

>>3195838
>>3195840
Ruby descends down the access shaft's ladder.
Congratulations! You've escaped the first room!

[From here on out the adventure may slow down a bit as I don't have anything at all drawn (e.g. scenery, objects, interface, key shots, etc.) after this point. We're breaking brand new ground here.
We're not stopping, though! Keep the commands coming and I'll do my best to keep up with Ruby's story.]

>>3195840
>>3195849
>>3195855

Can we do all three?

Ruby descends the access hatch and comes upon a new room.
There's lots to see here.

>>3195909
say hello.

Snob other rabbit, check out fishtank first.

>>3195909
What be that in the fish tank?

Other than the fish.

>>3195909
attempt to make contact with the other being

>>3195909
"Player 1, is that yo--oh nevermind, thought you were someone else"

>>3195941
Looks like a buried treasure!

eat the fish.

>>3195936
>>3195942
>say hello.
Ruby introduces herself and says hi.
The prisoner introduces himself as "Tom", and says hi back.

He doesn't seem particularly chatty.

>>3195950
Ask tom how long he's been here and what he knows about this place

>>3195950
Walk into the grid.

Walk into the SQLFAI LSQLFA ILSQLFAIL

>>3195959
>>3195960
Ruby is sliced into cubes.

GAME OVER.

Carve pumpkin into the shape of a keycard and insert into slot.

>>3195950
Also, ask tom what he has at his feet

>>3195956
Tom won't say how long he's been here. Just that he woke up in the cell and hasn't gotten out since.

He seems uninterested with this particular line of questioning and returns to contemplating his little sculpture.

>>3195960
>Walk into the grid.
It's just a metal grating.

>>3195971
>Carve pumpkin into the shape of a keycard and insert into slot.
Unfortunately you are not sleuthy enough to figure out how to do this.

>>3195948
>>3195941
>What be that in the fish tank?
The fish tank seems to contain, along with the fish, a tiny treasure chest for decoration.

EAT THE FISH

Ask about statue.

>>3195982
Hm. There could be something inside! Never know.

Any of the fish look dangerous?

And what is that grate below the tank?

>>3195995
>>3195975
>Ask about statue.
Tom explains that this is his Opus, titled "The Room is Boring". It appears to consist of a TIN CAN, a LETTER-OPENER, and a METAL PLATE with screws on its four corners.

>>3196005
ask about those round things in the wall next to him.

>>3196005

Hmm..

Examine that upside-down flower/light/water sprinkler thing above Tom. You know what, I'm gonna call him Bombadil.R ename Tom to Bombadil.

>>3196002
>Any of the fish look dangerous?
The fish are all quite tiny.
And as far as Ruby can tell, none of them are sharks.

>And what is that grate below the tank?
It appears to be another sort of access hatch, this time with metal shutters over it. It's labelled "Z-HATCH" and just underneath where that's written there's an empty space with four holes. It looks like something used to go there.

Alright, I'm heading offline
's been fun

Also, good end get: use barrel saw/can opener (Wearing thick rubber gloves to protect hands from being cut apart by saw) to cut through fence, show Tom first room and water.

>>3196029
Grab treasure, then dump aquarium on Tom.

>>3196029

Ask Tom to give me the sculpture. Explain it may get the both of us out of here.

>>3196015
>ask about those round things in the wall next to him.
Tom explains that the five things on the walls are very functional buttons, but so far he's only tried pressing the middle one.

>>3196016
>Examine that upside-down flower/light/water sprinkler thing above Tom
It's some sort of switch that can be pulled, but it looks like it's out of reach.

>use can opener to cut through fence
The grate is thin, but given that it's a cell the metal is clearly very strong and unlike the barrel, it's not worn. The CAN-OPENER would have no chance against it.

>>3196029
...The metal plate Tom has! That spot is missing the plate.

How do we get Tom out though? Hm.

>>3196056
>Grab treasure, then dump aquarium on Tom
The fishtank is bolted to the pedestal it's on, which in turn is bolted to the floor.
But the little treasure chest is coming with Ruby. It gets added to her inventory, a little wet. It's about the size of her hand.

>>3196083

Open treasure chest.

Get the metal plate with screws off Tom and screw it into space at the grate with letter opener or coins.

Get Tom to press buttoms in sequence from left to right. Ask him what pressing the middle button did.

Ask him what the hatch above him does.

Go back upstairs and see if you can push the coffin/container that held Ruby to see if you when the hatch opens you can rescue Tom.

>>3196085
>Open treasure chest.
It refuses to open. It must be locked.

>>3196086
>Get plate, screw in plate, tell Tom to press buttons
Firstly, Tom refuses to hand over the plate with the funny numbers on it, because it's a part of his Opus. Secondly, he couldn't pass it through the small openings in the grate even if he wanted to give it to Ruby.
And thirdly, Tom tells Ruby that when he pressed the middle button, he was ELECTROCUTED. He hasn't pressed any of the others and he will refuse to press any of the others until he's confident they won't result in another near-death experience.

Lastly, he has no clue what the overhead hatch does. He's never seen it open.

Remind us, what is Ruby's current inventory?

tell tom that "you dont believe him unless he presses another button."

Also examine z hatch.

Hand over gloves to Tom to press the button.

Try prying opening the chest with the coins.

Ask him what funny numbers is on that metal plate.

Go back upstairs and type, access hatch followed by the numbers.

>>3196102

What are the numbers on the plate?

Return to the terminal up the ladder and try "open z-hatch". Also try "free Tom" or "electrocute Tom" ... or free/electrocute Prisoner.

>>3196102

>ELECTROCUTED

Oh shit, Tom's DEAD. Or at least undead!

If we can get Z-HATCH open, perhaps items placed in it will be transported into the cell at the press of a button?

>>3196115
>Remind us, what is Ruby's current inventory?
Ruby is carrying TWO COINS, a CAN-OPENER, a pair of RUBBER GLOVES, and now a TINY TREASURE CHEST.

>>3196118
>tell tom that "you dont believe him unless he presses another button."
Tom pouts and says that's fine, because he doesn't trust you either.
>examine z hatch
It's a small portal in the north wall. Ruby might be able to fit through if she crawled. But it's a moot point since it's blocked by a metal shutter.

>>3196142
use can opener on chest.

>>3196119
>Hand over gloves
The gloves won't fit through the grate.
>Try prying opening the chest with the coins
No luck, there's not enough of a gap to pry it.
>Ask him what funny numbers is on that metal plate.
Tom says he doesn't trust you now and he won't tell you the magic numbers on the plate.
Maybe getting him to dislike you was a bad idea; you're probably going to need those numbers.

Kill self.

>>3196153
That's not being very creative. Just how will she kill herself?

What is Tom? he doesnt look like a Rabbit.

>>3196149

Apologise for being a cold-hearted rabbit, and that I mean no ill will, and just want what's best for both of us.

Also, try and cut through the metal grating with the can opener.

>>3196159

Obviously a cat.

>>3196149
Apologies but point out, that the only way either of them are going to get out is if they work together.

>>3196163
Already been tried, the metal's too strong for the canopener. Treasure chest won't open either because it doesn't have an edge.

>>3196149
Offer sexual favors for his cooperation.

>>3196149
Tell him you'll sex him up if he cooperates.

>>3196125
If it's anything like the other hatch, we'll need a room code for it to open. Chances are the plate that used to be above the hatch said what number it was, but unless we know that we can't open the z-hatch. We need to make friends with Tom. We should try giving him something.

climb upstais, jump on bin until it falls through the floor killing the mean rabbit

>>3196170
>>3196169

Bunny mind.

>>3196172
Hey, nice observation. Move the barrel upstairs.

>>3196180
Tried that back in the first room. Its too heavy to move.

>>3196169
>>3196170
That seems a little extreme! Ruby's not very eager to just give up her body for some stranger to ravage just so she can get a few numbers, especially if there's an alternative. And anyway, she's shy.

There must be a way to win over the cat that's not quite so embarrassing.

>>3196188

COMPLIMENT HIM ON THE STATUE

>>3196188

give the cat the fish

>>3196188
How about Ruby just flashes him her tits?

It's still an immediate sexual incentive, but it's way less embarrassing than sex and won't involve any unwanted touching.

rule 34 Ruby/tom

Apologize to Tom, and mention nonchalantly that you were jealous of his epic Opus. If he picks up on the hint, mention that you'd like to look at his Opus in all its glory... ideally he'll turn it around and show the numbers.

>>3196188
RAAAILROOOAAAD

...please? I'm getting real Player 1 vibes here ;_;

>>3196196
SECONDED!

>>3196169
>>3196170
>>3196198
>>3196194
>>3196196

What the fuck is WRONG with you people?

>>3196194
>How about Ruby just flashes him her tits?
Oh no! Unfortunately for all parties involved, Ruby is flat as a board! That probably won't work.

>>3196197
I second this suggestion. Will tom let us see his glorious statue in all it's magnificence so we can properly bask in his creative genius?

>>3196197

This.

>>3196206
That's fine...

>>3196192
>give the cat the fish
Ruby slips Tom some of the small fish as a gesture of goodwill. He's hungry, so he accepts.

>>3196225
Hmm... damn.

>>3196197
>Apologize to Tom, and mention nonchalantly that you were jealous of his epic Opus
Feeling a bit calmed by your offering of fish, Tom graciously offers to rotate the piece to face you.

>>3196225

If he can take the fish through the bars, then he can take the gloves. Give him the gloves so he can press the buttons safely.

>>3196241
I was thinking that but fish can be really small. Don't think goldfish, think smaller. Of course if he turned around and said the metal plate can fit I'll rage.

>>3196241
He said the fish are teeny-tiny, haven't you ever had a fishtank? They can be the size of a finger. Heavy-duty electrical gloves are massive.

Go back upstairs and type 'access hatch 211' or any variation with 211 in it changing the 2 to 5 or changing the 1's to I's.

>>3196235
Go upstairs and enter "open z-hatch 211" into the terminal.

>>3196257
>>3196258
Sure enough, Tom's code seems to work, and the system accepts the function.

>>3196265
GHOST BARREL!

Guess there is only one thing to do, climb back down tell Tom you'll see where the hatch goes and crawl through it and try to come back to him.

Put shoe on head

This is by far the most adorable King's Quest style game I've ever seen.

Kudos.

>>3196274
>climb back down tell Tom you'll see where the hatch goes and crawl through it and try to come back to him
Climbing back down, Ruby finds that the z-hatch is now open. Just on the other side of the wall is a small room.

Ruby tells Tom she'll be right back. Tom nods absently in reply.

>>3196298
oh God! He pulled apart the Opus! THE OPUS!!

...Crawl through the hatch.

>>3196298
Now Ruby gets down on her hands and knees and crawls through. Also, she shouldn't bother adjusting her skirt first, I'm sure it will hang fine while she shimmies through the hatch.
What was the word on whether she was wearing panties, again?

>>3196298
What's that slot of three holes next to the aquarium? Have Ruby inspect that before she goes into the next room.

OP should have made Ruby male...

>>3196307
>Crawl through the hatch.
Ruby gets on all fours and crawls through the hatch with a rather suggestive series of movements. But since that's boring let's just skip ahead to the part where she emerges in the room on the other side of the wall.

>>3196321

Take diagram of buttons and give it to Tom. Explain what each button seems to do, based on the symbols. Have him press the button with the down arrow and the grating.

>>3196321
Tell Ruby to inspect the sign. The middle one is electrocution, the second from the right has a grate sign, the one after has an arrow, but I don't know the other two. The one of the second left is death so avoid that and I'm guessing the far left is water. Tell Tom to press the one, from his side, the second from the left for him which will be the second from the right on this side saying the grate.

Inspect what looks like a safe on the wall in this room.

Inspect what looks like a portrait of a fish on this side of the room.

Look through what looks like a grate in the door to the left of the room.

You know what amazes me, /tg/?
You're playing a text parser RPG as an anthropomorphic, if crudely drawn, female rabbit.
There have been innumerable cries for sexually related content regarding said anthropomorphic rabbit.
And in 190 posts, not ONE person has said "furry".

Fucking props, /tg/, seriously. You just might grow up yet.

Take a breather...

Take off clothes...

>>3196332
Its not really a "furry" as it doesnt have any real human features nor is the style detailed enough to be considered "furry".

However to confirm this she needs to take off her clothes...

>Explain what each button seems to do
Ruby has no idea what each button seems to do. Perhaps you should interpret.

>Take diagram of buttons and give it to Tom
It looks like there was something behind the diagram.

>>3196351
...did the painting change?

>>3196351
SWEET CHRIST IS THAT BLOOD?

Take down picture of fish...

>>3196351
POKE THAT FUCKING PAINTING IN THE EYE

>>3196321
>>3196351
THE EYE IS MOVING. TAKE IT DOWN.

>>3196331
>Inspect what looks like a safe on the wall in this room.
It's some sort of metal cabinet, but it's locked up with a padlock.
>Look through what looks like a grate in the door to the left of the room.
The slot in the door is closed, and appears to be opened only from the other side.

>>3196360
>Take down picture of fish...
It looks like an eye, actually.

>>3196351

Ok, middle is electrocute, as Tom knows, left of middle is death, so don't press that, left of death is either fire or water so let's not press that either, right of middle is grating, could open the cell or close the z-hatch, have Tom push that one, right of grating is down arrow, it could lower the bars or lower the ceiling so have Tom push that if the grating button doesn't work.

in b4 death of Tom
possibly gruesome.

>>3196370
You bring the diagram to Tom. He is already starting to trust you, and with the added incentive that only one "electrocution" symbol is present on the diagram, you manage to convince him the other buttons will not administer shocks.

It's time to choose.
What button should Tom press?

>>3196385

4. If that doesn't open the cell, 5.

>>3196388
Wait, isn't the diagram effectively reversed in this image?

>>3196385
4

>>3196378
Noting that the barrel from room 1 is sitting on the trapdoor in the roof directly above our new friend Tom, I am hoping for a whole lot of gruesome death.

>>3196385

This is an entertaining trap. The sign was plastered directly opposite the switches through the wall. The question is: Are the switches in that order or is it a mirror image?

>>3196388
>4
NO
OH MY JESUS CHRIST NO DO NOT PRESS BUTTON FOUR

DIDN'T YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT THE DIAGRAM WAS ON THE EXACT OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE WALL AS THE BUTTONS? EACH BUTTON PROBABLY LINED UP WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DIAGRAM!
IT'S MIRRORED, FOR GOD'S SAKE! YOU'LL KILL HIM IF YOU PRESS FOUR!

>>3196385

FOUR. OR FIVE. OR BOTH.

SWEET JESUS

>Noting that the barrel from room 1 is sitting on the trapdoor in the roof directly above our new friend Tom
No it isn't. The hatch Ruby went down is in the upper-left corner of the room. The hatch over the cell is in the LOWER-right, not UPPER-right, where the barrel is.

>>3196385

Tell him to stand closer to the grate, and ask him to press 1. If the trapdoor opens or something involving water happens, then we know whether to press 4 or 5.

STOP TRYING TO KILL TOM, HE'S A GOOD KID
DO I HAVE TO TURN THIS CAR AROUND?
I WILL, I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DON'T STOP TRYING TO KILL TOM WITH YOUR BUTTONS.

>>3196385
IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU, TOM.

>>3196397

There's a simple way to test that. Let's press button 1 or 5 and see what each of them do.

>>3196405
Yes! This is a perfect idea!
Choose the button whose reverse does NOT spell instant death!

>>3196398

SWEET JESUS

>>3196405

THIS

>>3196405
>4 or 5

Should be 4 or 2. My bad. But the 1/5 idea still stands.

Thread's autosaging. Recommend OP to post next image in new thread.

>>3196412

Again, stand closer to the grate for personal safety and press 1.

>>3196405
>>3196405
>>3196405

THIS. ALWAYS THIS.

>>3196412

Press 1 or 5.
