Go to room to the left

Pry open z hatch to try and save TOm.

FUCK YEAH

Go to the dummy room, see which way it is facing, turn it to match the hook symbol on the z hatch.

I doubt it will pry the hatch open, but it looks like it could work on those boards covering the hole in the other half of the room...

>>3282869
Smash open the little metal lock with the crowbar.

Use crowbar on the boarded up hole. Delicious plank pulling action.

That's dumb, we'd need a countermance anvil, and the lock will be sturdier. We can't pry it either because it's too small. Lets try the dummy.

>>3282891
You're dumb.

Use the waste basket for a fulcrum.

fuck those planks, that's a new room. Dummy first, it's right beside us

>>3282894
Yeah but then you have divide the fulcrum by 100 and apply it as a modifier to the square of the length X the weight of the weapon in question just to see if she can weild it!

>>3282876
>Pry open z hatch to try and save TOm.
The thick metal shutters on the Z-Hatch are WAY too strong for Ruby to pry open!

>>3282886
>Smash open the little metal lock with the crowbar.
The lock is surprisingly resilient, but Ruby knew this already. Maybe it's not so surprising.

>>3282888
>Use crowbar on the boarded up hole. Delicious plank pulling action.
Ruby RAPIDLY returns to the boarded-up hole, but she's not strong enough to pry the boards free! Her GIRLISH FIGURE is just not up to the task. She very rapidly returns to the other side -- how considerate of her!

>>3282873
>Go to room to the left
Ruby heads west!

>>3282900
FAST BUNNY IS FAST!

Okay, now go into room. Open that box if at all possible.

Ruby enters the Dummy room.

>>3282914
Open the box that tells us to not open it for to otherwise do

>>3282914
Inspect new plaque under the TRAUMA part of the wall.

>>3282914

inspect that sign under the... writing where that body was

>>3282914
Examine room

>>3282914
Can she pry open the Do Not Open box? Failing that, turn the dummy to match the hook symbol on the clock thing.

>>3282914
try to remove rope from dummy.

before we open the DO NOT OPEN, can we try turning the dummy?

Look, the dummy is facing south instead of north now, and the z hatch is closed. Turn the dummy first.

>>3282928
Actually, yeah, that's a better idea.

And try knocking on the glass to get Tom to come into the room where you can see him.

>>3282914
Inspect plaque beneath arcane scribblings.
Inspect new slot near the old one.
See if we can spot Tom through the window.

To cut down on needless posts, wait a minute or two by refreshing the page to see if anyone has posted what you would have.

Rip open the dummy with the crowbar. For funsies. Rip open it's head especially.

>>3282914
Check if the taps on the sink work now, never know when water might be useful.

>>3282927
>try to remove rope from dummy.
Ruby tried before. She just can't manage it.

>>3282919
>>3282922
>Inspect new plaque under the TRAUMA part of the wall.
There is some sort of large black-and-white painting on the wall.
Beneath it, there is a plaque in a language Ruby cannot understand.

>>3282942
Check the thing under the mail slot.

Inspect the hand scanner. Try to guess which animal the scanner seems to be made for.

Use crowbar on jammed filing cabinet.

[Yikes, slow down with all the commands! You're flooding it!]

>>3282944
>Check the thing under the mail slot.
It appears to be a BUTTON DIAGRAM, similar to the one that was upstairs in the control room.
It seems to have a different layout... perhaps it coincides with the one in the other room somehow?

>>3282942
can someone tell me what those words say? I can't make them all out. I got priscus= carcer, claustrum
plus it's in Latin

>>3282962
http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=Latin&to=English says "Prayer ancient never ending deep sleep" for whatever that's worth.

>>3282967
thanks.

>>3282962
>Votum Priscus
>Perpes Sopor
Roughly translated:
"Ancient Prayer
Never-Ending Deep Sleep"

>>3282960
Check the 'clock' on the wall

>>3282950
>Use crowbar on jammed filing cabinet.
Luckily, the cabinet is not jammed very hard, and the crowbar makes short work of it!
Inside, Ruby finds a TINY KEY!

>>3282981

key on medical bag

>>3282981
Tiny key on TINY PADLOCK. Go

>>3282976
clock is the diagrams. Have we tried swivviling the dummy yet?

>>3282988
The diagrams may have changed.

>>3282983
>>3282985
>>3282987
The MEDICINE BAG doesn't have anything that would help Tom inside anyway...

Ruby unlocks it with the TINY KEY and recovers a PAPER SCRAP and a VERY SHARP SCALPEL.

>>3282994
Take scalpel. Cut open dummy.

try checking the deposit box again?

>>3282994

Go use SHARP SCALPEL on ORGANIC GROWTH.

>>3282994
open do not open box

>>3282972
This is all a dream. isn't it?

>>3282996
>try checking the deposit box again
The deposit box is still empty.

>>3282976
>Check the 'clock' on the wall
Nothing has changed.

>>3282994
Try the sink

>>3282995
this, try to cut along the seem on the middle of his head

Use Scalpel on dummy.

>>3283007
>Try the sink
The faucet still doesn't work. There's no water at all.

Knock on window to get toms attention.
Put scalpel into mail box.
Tell him to put in eye on wall.

>>3283013
No

Use scalpel on BIOLOGICAL GROWTH in the locker room. There will probably be a way to turn on power to the console and open the Z-hatch.

>>3283018
>Use scalpel on BIOLOGICAL GROWTH in the locker room
Ruby returns to the locker room.

>>3282972
Ancient Prayer....?

Have we tried just praying? Ruby pray!

Ruby does her best to carve away at the fleshy growth, and uncovers the cubbyhole behind it.

>>3283023
pray to something that whatever next thing you do will yield good things. then cut organic growth.

>>3283032
Put eye in transfer hatch to give to tom so he can put it in safe

Examine the eye.
If it doesn't look dangerous, poke it.

>>3283032
Examine eye, don't poke it.

>>3283032
Is the eye the same colour as Tom's? It is, isn't it?

>>3283032
Put 4 dots in advanced eye surgery so we can help Tom later.

The eyeball, though strangely oversized, is not nearly as big as Ruby's fist. It won't fit in the spherical safe-lock.

Uncomfortably, Ruby picks up the eye and stores it away.

>>3283048
give eye to Tom

Ruby cleverly CONDENSES HER INVENTORY.

>>3283048
Return to the dummy room, see if we can grab Toms attention by knocking on the glass.

Examine the panel on the wall next to the closed doorway.

>>3283048
Inspect unplugged panel.

>>3283048
Eat eye.

>>3283052
>Examine the panel on the wall next to the closed doorway.
It's a 4-digit password panel. Above it is a diagram of a happy fish.
It appears to be powered down at the moment.
Attached to it is an EXTENDABLE POWER CORD.

>>3283061
Get pulling and let's see how far this sucker goes

Enter code 1337

>>3283061
Go to the Dummy room, get Tom's attention. He needs to plug the cord into the socket in the Maintenance Room.

Unless its not long enough, then we need ruby to hold it far enough back so that there is no slack.

use the scalpel on the wires on the floor

>>3283062
>Get pulling and let's see how far this sucker goes
Ruby pulls the cord to the furthest location she can walk to.
Looks like there's plenty of slack.

>>3283072
Knock on the window, see if Tom can hear us.

>>3283068
no

>>3283072
Call for Tom on the Plexi Glass.

TOM arrives on the other side of the thick window.

>>3283080
Try to pass the cable through the MAIL SLOT and explain he needs to find somewhere to plug it in.

>>3283080
Double check to see if the cord can make it through the mail slot unharmed.

Creatively bend at will with crowbar if not.

>>3283080
Put EXTENSION CORD and EYEBALL into the mail slot and send them over to TOM. Motion toward the OUTLET so that he can see.

>>3283081

There's a plug on the same room. With a power sign on it.

>>3283081
>Try to pass the cable through the MAIL SLOT
That would never work! The mail slot is specifically designed to only open to one side of the wall at a time!

>>3283091
Send the eye to Tom and try to ask if its his for no real reason.

>>3283091
Give tom the eye, then wave him to move away.

SMASH WINDOW WITH CROWBAR

>>3283091
give him eye

>>3283094
>Send the eye to Tom and try to ask if its his for no real reason.
That's terrible! Even if the eye was his, it's past the point where it could be reattached even if there WERE proper medical facilities available.
Ruby is not so cruel as to do that to Tom for no reason.

>>3283096
>SMASH WINDOW WITH CROWBAR
The thick window is made of some sort of very resilient plexiglass. It refuses to give.

>>3283104
Search for an outlet on this side, then. Are we strong enough to move the DO NOT OPEN box?

>>3283111
>Are we strong enough to move the DO NOT OPEN box?
Nope, already tried before.

>>3283114
Hm. How about prying the sink off the wall and pushing the cable through the pipes? Would that even work?

Examine the glass. How thick is it?

>>3283120
>Hm. How about prying the sink off the wall and pushing the cable through the pipes? Would that even work?
We probably need that sink.

>>3283104
try the hand scanner again, if nothing happens examine the stitching on the dummy's head

ask tom to put the faucet in the box to switch it to us

>>3283122
And we'll probably need the hand scanner too, so there's no point breaking that open and trying to use its power supply. I've got no more ideas apart from opening up the dummy and/or box and having a look inside.

ASK TOM IF HE HAS ANYTHING IN HIS POCKETS

Can someone link Tom's room? maybe we can motion for him to do something we didn't do in there. We can still give the scalple if it comes to that. Otherwise, we need to find one last scrap of paper to use the key thing upstairs

>>3283131
Specifically, if he has or can get that hand we sent up the tube for the lulz.

>>3283104
Send Tom the crowbar and see if he and his MANLY PHYSIQUE can open the grate to the Z-hatch.

If that doesn't work, try dancing.

This box is sealed tight!
Ruby's GIRLISH FIGURE isn't enough to force the DO NOT OPEN box open.

Cut the dummy loose from the stand it's attached to.

>>3283050 this is starting to remind me more and more of eternal darkness. yes, mixing things in your inventory reminds me of eternal darkness more than crazy space warping shit and insanity attacks.

Flash Tom, he'll be through the glass before you can say pancakes.

>>3283140
She's using the wrong end of the crowbar, maybe that's the problem. Otherwise, try cutting up the dummy and searching its innards.

Spin the dummy around to face Tom, and tell him to keep a close eye on it.
Go back to the room with the pit.

We might have missed something there.

>>3283153
Fuck, how did we forget that? Do this, then Tom's MAN MUSCLES can come over and help out.

>>3283131
>ASK TOM IF HE HAS ANYTHING IN HIS POCKETS
Sadly, this time Tom is carrying nothing. No tap, no canopener, no condoms.

>>3283139
>Send Tom the crowbar and see if he and his MANLY PHYSIQUE can open the grate to the Z-hatch.
Ruby sends the CROWBAR to Tom through the drop slot.

>>3283159
Maybe we should also try to see if the plate over the Z hatch can come off.

RIP AND TEAR the dummy.

use rotating dummy to coil the lever cord.

>>3283150

As far as suggestions involving Ruby taking her clothes off, I believe this is the most useful one so far.

>>3283174
Useful as it may be, Weaver's still not gonna draw it.

Tom receives the CROWBAR!

With this weapon of potential destruction, Tom feels his MANLINESS surging back! His MANLY PHYSIQUE is at its peak! He poses triumphantly to celebrate.

Tom feels like he could do some serious bashing here, at least, to most things that aren't SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO STAND UP TO BASHING.

>>3283170


by this i mean spin the dummy to pull the cord out further.

>>3283174
Show's what you know. That was tried on the first day and won't work (she is "flat as a board").

We haven't even looked at the eye in the Z-room. Tell Tom to inspect it closely.

>>3283178
Let Tom examine the eye on the wall in the other room, see if it follows him around like it did with Ruby.

>>3283178
Well, then, have Tom do some SERIOUS BASHING to the Z-HATCH.
Just checking, he does still have both arms and you just didn't draw his other one, right?

>>3283180
>We haven't even looked at the eye in the Z-room. Tell Tom to inspect it closely.
It's just a painting. Tom doesn't see anything particularly destroyable about it.

>>3283174
I too support this idea.

>>3283180

and then pry it out of the wall.

>>3283188
>It's just a painting.
Does it come off of the wall? Can it be pried off? Anything behind it?

Pry off the lightning-bolt panel.

Destroy the bank-teller shelf.

Relish in destructive manliness.

>>3283188

why is the hatch open? accident on weavers part?

>>3283188

Z-hatch appears open.

Oversight, anti-climax or mindfuckery?

>>3283188
something needs to be smashed dammit! take out them shelves in the closet mind the light

>>3283195
>Pry off the lightning-bolt panel.
Tom would rather not be electrocuted by prying off the panel on the HIGH VOLTAGE panel in the other room!

>Destroy the bank-teller shelf.
It's the only thing that allows Tom and Ruby to pass items! They may need it!

>>3283197
>Z-hatch appears open.
What are you talking about? It's obviously closed. Stop getting Tom's hopes up.

>>3283204
Try to carefully remove the eye 'painting', with the crowbar if necessary.

>>3283204
What it that painting looking at?

>>3283204
>Stop getting Tom's hopes up.

Sorry, Tom.

Let's search the couch instead. Rip it open if necessary.

>>3283204
Try prying the bank teller shelf out.

rip the couch open. see if there's anything inside.

>>3283202
>something needs to be smashed dammit! take out them shelves in the closet mind the light
Fuck yeah!
Tom goes to work smashing up the shelves for no good reason, and carefully avoids breaking the lightbulb.

Then he decides what the heck and smashes the lightbulb anyway. It's very satisfying.

>>3283204
is there anything made of rubber around that Tom could insulate the crowbar with to protect himself from shock?

Smash sofa.

>>3283212
have Tom investigate the remains for anything of value

>>3283213
yeah, his pants.

I think we're overlooking the buttons.

>>3282960
At least three of these buttons look useful, though one is broken. I think the pattern here is their height, it's the one thing that's linear, and the hatch button is the second one up, so we can assume they're all arranged vertically.

I think the safest buttons to press then would be the water or pipe buttons.

Tear open the couch.

>>3283217
>Smash sofa.
Tom's anti-inanimate-object bloodlust has subsided.
Besides, the couch is so utilitarian nothing about smashing it would probably be any fun.

>>3283225
USE COUCH ON PIPE

>>3283225
Back to the task at hand, then. Pry open Z-HATCH?

>>3283229
>Pry open Z-HATCH?
The Z-HATCH is so strong it severed that monster in half earlier. Tom's efforts would be wasted against its thick steel shutters.

>>3283219
well how bout using those rubber pants to protect him from shock while prying open the lightning bolt panel

Check behind the painting for another safe and the last digit of the code!

>>3283236
But... But... manly physique!
Alright, then. Pry shit off the walls, starting with that painting. See if there's anything interesting hidden.

>>3283236
we could try bashing that air vent open?

Can Tom pry open the vent?

thirding the air vent idea.

SIT ON COUCH FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT

Give up, engage in sexual activities until further notice or termination of vital functions.

>>3283240
>Pry shit off the walls, starting with that painting
You guys are really reaching!
The painting won't come off. It's inset INTO the wall.

>>3283248
dig into the walls around the painting, we must have that frame!

Is it possible the lever does something to the other side of the wall when it is not being pulled?

>>3283248
check remains of busted stuff for stuff

>>3283248
Smash it! See what happens.

Go to ladder. Push topmost button.

GO FOR THE AIR VENT.

THEN HAVE RUBY SPIN THE DUMMY. UNTIL ALL THE SLACK LEAVES THE CORD THAT IS ATTACHED TO IT.

>>3283241
>>3283242
>>3283243
>>3283249
NO

AND YOU DON'T NEED TO THIRD AN IDEA, YOU ARE ONLY FLOODING THE THREAD WITH POINTLESS COMMENTS
I'M SURE TOM HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME

GOSH YOU GUYS
I MEAN GEEZE

>>3283263
Have Tom hug Weaver.

>>3283263
MAXIMUM COMFORT! FUCK YEA!

can ruby tie her cord around the dummy for now and head back upstairs?

>>3283263

have tom go back and look at ruby for a bit, maybe she's found something.

>>3283270
First, have Ruby spin the dummy a bit. Does it affect anything Tom can see?

Tom, try to pray. Maybe it will do something.

Switch back to Ruby, go back to the set of buttons alongside the ladder near the lever.

Move couch away some more, close door to smashed shelves and lightbulb.

>>3283254
>dig into the walls around the painting, we must have that frame!
This is stupid.

>>3283256
>check remains of busted stuff for stuff
Your comment was already passed up, which means it was not used for a reason!

>>3283257
>Smash it! See what happens.
THIS IS ALSO STUPID

>>3283261
>GO FOR THE AIR VENT.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY NO

>>3283277
WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT WASTING POSTS TO POINTLESSLY SECOND THAT WAS ALREADY INTENTIONALLY PASSED OVER
IT'S NOT LIKE I DIDN'T SEE IT THE FIRST TIME

>>3283278
>First, have Ruby spin the dummy a bit.
I ALREADY SAID LIKE TEN TIMES THAT-

i give up

put the code 7265 into the keypad

commit heresy and summon exterminatus

>>3283285
Well, running around in circles trying everything two-dozen times is an important part of a point and click adventure game after all...

Weaver, I think you need a rest for the night. /tg/ seems to have gotten on your nerves.

:(

>>3283290
>put the code 7265 into the keypad
THE POWER IS OFF
ARE YOU BLIND
HOW MANY TIMES

>>3283285
Just tell us the next step then, this is only hilarious to one of us.

I think I had this GM once.

>>3283285
Maybe try lifting up the couch using the crowbar to see if there's anything beneath it?

>>3283285
And thus we come to the one frustrating part about adventure games. Looking for one one solution to the puzzle that the designer thinks should be obvious, but no one ever gets and has to go look at a faq or something.

HAVE RUBY PRESS THE MIDDLE BUTTON

Okay, maybe we should leave Tom alone for a bit. Let's see how Ruby's doing.

>>3283285
Get Ruby to give the Scalpel to Tom

>>3283283
>Switch back to Ruby, go back to the set of buttons alongside the ladder near the lever.
RUBY DECIDES TO GET OFF HER FLUFFY WHITE BUTT AND GOES TO THE BUTTONS AGAIN

Have Tom look up the next step on GameFAQs.

Well lets pause for a moment, first of, everyone remember that once an idea has been suggested, that's it. Done. It will be used or not.

We have the peg, string, eye, scalpel and paper. Have we tried using the peg as a faucet?

>>3283285

well, we're all stumped, then.

>>3283311
try spinning the triangle thingy

>>3283311
which buttons are not depressed.

or even sad.

Can Ruby see anything in the gaping hole?

Which button should Ruby press?
Think carefully -- pressing random buttons may not be wise.

Ruby is pretty sure she remembers seeing a DIAGRAM earlier.

>>3283314
The eye obviously has some purpose. Prayer has been mentioned... evil religious ritual? Offer the eye as tribute to some nefarious god?

>>3283311

Hey, the floor hatch is boarded up. How come we didn't try to pry it open with the crowbar yet? Or do we need Tom's MANLY PHYSIQUE for that?

Also, the gap in the room that used to be the cell. Can we see beyond it? Like, say, around the wall the Z-hatch goes through?

>>3283325

Top one.

>>3283330
>How come we didn't try to pry it open with the crowbar yet?
YOU DID, PAY ATTENTION

Fourth from the top.

>>3283325
Press button 4. The diagram is upside down so 4 is the blue stripey tube things

>>3283330
why is the room upside down :/

>>3283325
The top button may be linked to the skull diagram we saw earlier. Better not press it. Try the second to last button, it seems fairly safe.

>>3283325
Press the middle one.

>>3283325
We'd like to press the middle one - the one that most likely corresponds to the electricity symbol.

>>3283332
>Top one.
Are you SURE?

Okay... but don't say you weren't warned.

Ruby presses the TOP BUTTON.

>>3283332
NO THAT ONE WILL KILL US!

>>3283330
See:
>>3282888
>>3282900

push them all while humming "funky town"

>>3283338
We know the second button from the top corresponds to the hatch. With that in mind, top is probably water.

>>3283341
Ruby hears soft, distant sounds of running water.
Nothing else seems to happen.

>>3283355
Press button 4

>>3283355
Check pit room
If no water, check on tom.

Well, the middle button was requested first, so try that first. Ruby had best hope her body is mildly shock resistant.

>>3283355
have ruby make the room rightside up again

>>3283341
Oh God... does Tom or Ruby see anything happening?

Run to check on Tom!

I was supposed to get ready for new year... But ruby is so much more EPIC!

off chance idea... put the eye.. in the wall safe in the closet with the socket... maybe its a retnal scanner or something

give tom the eye and instruct him on what to do

>>3283359
>Press button 4
Ruby taps button 4. There's a loud rumbling sound from somewhere in another room, but otherwise, no visible change.

>>3283325

Top one.

>>3283355

Press the second one then. If that opens the Z-hatch, get the cord (we tied it around the dummy, correct?), get it through the crawlway in the Z-hatch room and plug it into the outlet there.

If Tom is still moping on the couch, comfort as Ruby sees fit.

lol furfags!

>>3283378
Its broken

>>3283371

I hope we didn't fill the room that Tom is in and killed him.

check on Tom

Ruby decides to return to check on Tom.

He's okay, but there's a weird clanking sound nearby, like something moving around in metal.

>>3283394
something is in the airducts, switch to Tom?

Turn on faucet

>>3283394

check deposit box?

i must be the deposit box man or some shit, ITS ALL I EVER VOTE FOR

Get Tom to check up on the Z-hatch.

Shrug shoulders at Tom signalling you have NO FUCKING IDEA what to do.

>>3283400
there is no voting.

Also: we've got a scalpel, he's got a crowbar, we can handle a few things at the moment. Lets go upstairs and see if anything changed in there

SHIT BUTTONS UNDER THE DEPOSIT BOX. PUSH THEM.

>>3283419
new thread

>>3283400

Also: we've got a scalpel, he's got a crowbar, we can handle a few things at the moment. Lets go upstairs and see if anything changed in there

>>3283422
You know, I kept looking at those, and forgot we had a diagram corresponding to it...
