>>3430122
Ask him how much he knows about this facility.

Ask what he's doing here.

>>3430122

Punch Filbert.

Ask him what's going on.

>>3430122
Show him the hand.

Respond in the same manner.

Immediately inform Filbert to shut up, and recruit him as QUIRKY THIRD CHARACTER.

*squint accusingly*
You... you're F right? I have alot of questions to ask you...

Filbert as in F!

Ask him about everything.

>>3430122
"Ahhh...so you're F. Good...I've got A LOT of questions for you."

*open your THIRD EYE and show Filbert it* "LIKE, OH I DON'T KNOW, -THIS- FOR INSTANCE!?"

>>3430122
Punch him in the snout to show superiority.

>>3430134
I think its obvious why any rational person would be hiding in this hellhole.

Ask him how he knows Ruby

ask him where his hand went (not to be rude...)

>>3430146
If you're serious about showing superiority, you need to urinate on him.

Ask him who he is, and what he knows of The Metal Glen.

It's obvious where his SEVERED HAND went, considering that hand had security clearance.

USE THIRD EYE ON FILBERT

>>3430158

No, because a) it didn't look like him and b) he couldn't've made it here before Ruby.

Question him on what has happened here, what this place is and why you can't remember this stuff. We know most of this stuff but let's see what HE knows.

>>3430154
I agree

> use prickly fist on F
> use urethra on F
... > open eye chart

god damn yelling at the guy posting animal crossing fanfic isn't making him draw you a special unique picture

Ask him if he knows access code for the hatch.

i fixed it...............can't think of anything important to say. now that it's know that rubyquest threads are in progress i don't see the problem of letting these get to the 5th or 8th page before starting a new one. this image will be relevant in a few dozen minutes anyway.

Show him the picture you found earlier and ask him to identify them.

[Okay, WHOA. You guys really have to slow down, what with repeating actions a dozen or so times.
Have some patience here, don't just post again if the next image doesn't show up fast enough.
You're going to flood the thread out of existence if you keep this up.]

Ruby quickly gets over her initial surprise and makes the connection between Filbert's name and the "-F" signed on numerous reports, as well as the severed hand she found earlier. She assaults Filbert with questions.

Filbert begins to explain what he can. He says he is the chief doctor here.

>>3430149
>Ask him how he knows Ruby
Ruby was a patient of his.

>>3430150
>ask him where his hand went
Filbert calmly explains he severed his hand by slamming it shut in the security transfer chute down in Level 3. He had to, in order to stop the spread of infection.

>>3430177
Here's to the glorious future

>>3430182
Show him the severed hand.

>>3430182

What was Ruby a patient for?

What was happening in the security videos?

Ask him to explain infection

>>3430182
WHAT infection?

>>3430182
WOAH it's not at all like you're having to do anything more than sort through the suggestions to find the "correct answer" and post your next picture. How's it feel to be the engineer of your very own shitty railroad?

>>3430182
Tell him about your third eye. If he's a doctor he should know something about it.

>>3430182
Ask him:
1) Why can't I remember anything before (the first RQ thread)
2) Why are abominations against God walking around?
3) Just what the HELL were you researching here?!

>>3430182
Make sure he doesn't get too close AND make sure that NO ONE is getting near him and Ruby.
We don't want him or Ruby to be killed in the middle of "SUDDELY! THE TRUTH!"-episode.
Like, close the door. Or keep your eyes on exit.
Whatever, just don't let our guard down.

>>3430182
Mention you have amnesia. Ask what happened.

Just ignore us all and go into a long cutscene where he will tell BLOODY EVERYTHING.

Finally some answers! We've been waiting for this.

>>3430198
Why are you still here? Nothing we can say will make you change your mind it's all pre-drawn. You might as well hide the thread like a sane person would. Oh wait, that's right. You're a troll.

>>3430182
So the infection can be cut out like a cancer.

Tell him of your issues, he seems kind enough. Ask about ACE and STITCHES

>>3430198
Do you have hemorrhoids? Because you sound incredibly butthurt.

>>3430193
>>3430192
>>3430197
Filbert nods. He explains that he was attacked, and his hand was injured. He says he believes the infection is like any other localized spread -- in order to stop it from contaminating his entire body, he had to perform an emergency amputation.

>>3430165
>Question him on what has happened here, what this place is and why you can't remember this stuff.
"Why you can't remember anything? Isn't it obvious?" Filbert asks.
"You're dead."

The more you ask people not to flood, the more the trolls will flood. I think the only thing to do is try to ignore it, as there's nothing we can really do about it.

>>3430221

Cry. Break down. ;_;

Fuck.

>>3430221
Then tell me about the other subjects. What happened to them.

Ask him how she can be dead when she is obviously alive.

>>3430221
Well, fuck.
Ask how the hell is that possible?

>>3430221
Scream to startle him.

>>3430221
WELL NO SHIT FILBERT, TRY TELLING US WHY

Gee thanks filbert.

"How come I'm dead? Can I come back to life?"
"What does the infection do?"
"Did I kill Tom?"
[Cutscene where everything's told, hopefully.]

>>3430221
Make a snarky remark akin to "Oh, wonderful, now I don't need to find a costume for Halloween." Then inquire as to how exactly you're 'alive'.

>>3430221
Then how am I MOVING?

Ask him if Tom is dead too. Say his patient number if he doesn't know who Tom is.

>>3430243
You first.

>>3430242
I agree!

>>3430243
'Sup shitty troll. Trying to improve to troll among the big boys? Don't worry. You'll get there.

Also Ruby should ask F how she died.

>>3430243

Fuck off already.

>>3430221
>"You're dead."

That hasn't stopped me before.

>>3430211
>"Did I kill Tom?"
Filbert says he's afraid you did. He bled out after the attack you must have seen on the video.

>>3430240
>Then how am I MOVING?
"You're infected. Most everyone here has succumbed to the infection.
Except for me."

Ruby: Then why did you stumble over to me and say THANK GOD?

>>3430221
"No, i'm not"

>>3430248
polite request.jpg

>>3430253

How did I get infected?

>>3430253
Infect F.

Way to be a dick about it filbert.

>>3430253
What infection?

And who is subject 6?

>>3430253
Alright, explain the infection. This is gonna be interesting.

>>3430253
"Why I am not attacking, like other infected?"

Ask F: "If I killed Tom, why were you happy to see me?"

Ruby, remember the basics of CQC...

>>3430253

Ask him if he knows anything about Ace, or if he knows that Red killed himself.

>>3430253

Ask him for a more basic and concise explanation of the events that have led up to now

>>3430253
I forsee the only end will be BAD END. We will have to stop the infection somehow and it will rid our body of it, thus making return to the world of the dead

>>3430253

Despite being uninfected and her being dead... Ruby looks a lot better than ol' Fil there.

>>3430253

Is there a cure?/ Was there a cure in development?

Ask if the infection is part of a reanimation process, but more importantly, if there are any side effects.

Once we're done with our questions she should hand the radio to filbert so he can talk to Tom. He's got to have more.

Assuming the guy isn't horror movie spoiler protected.

>>3430253
Ask who Ace is.

Not all the questions got answers.
I believe it will lead either to CUTSCENE or to SUDDENLY! A MONSTER ATTACK AND KILL F!
Make sure second don't happen.

>>3430253
- "Do you even know what I...we're all infected with?"
- "Why...why was I here, originally? I'm sure it wasn't to die and be a reanimated corpse."

>>3430253
we're never getting out, are we? this place is most likely quaritined...............damn. i'm going to cry now.

[i'm actually close to tears myself]

fixed!

Would it be possible, Weaver, to tell every single fact F knows in a single post, so that we wouldn't have to wait for many painful minutes for our salvation?

Also: "Would it be possible for me and Tom to come back to life? I really wouldn't like to be dead."

>>3430274
Because she's dead and doesn't need sleep/food/etc. F quite clearly does.

>>3430253
"Was I sane? I trust Tom, I don't see why I'd hurt him."

>>3430286
Pussy.

/co/ - Comics

>>3430301
That means D&D goes there?

>>3430254
>Ruby: Then why did you stumble over to me and say THANK GOD?
"It's not important now."

>>3430268
>Ask him if he knows anything about Ace, or if he knows that Red killed himself.
Filbert explains that Ace is tasked with duties as an orderly and a security guard. Filbert was his commanding superior.
Filbert says he knows of Red's death.
"He finally did it," Filbert nods.

Everyone who posted or enjoyed the raunchy fan art is now a necrophile. :D

Go stand in the corner. Wait until he is midway through his next sentence, then latch on to him with your tongue. Drag him into the corner for an easy frag.

>>3430289
Nah, you still need to improve your troll-fu. I mean the redundant part of it with "A comic with pictures" was nice being as it's so stupid it might cause a little irritation, but it's not going to do much.

>>3430308
Oh no, I drew necrophilia!

Tom needs to know. Open the walkie-talkie and have F tell him all this too.

>>3430309

SMOKER!!!

>>3430306
Pull out the portrait from earlier. Ask him to identify everyone, pointing out that you had to vaporize "Hound", and met Stitches on more than one occasion.

>>3430306
Ask what is going to happen now and if you can radio Tom explaining the situation.

>>3430304
I think that you and I both know that there's quite a big difference between a story with people saying suggestions and a role playing game. Nobody is playing Ruby any more than yelling at the television during a terrible movie that happens to be about animal crossing is playing that character when you happen to yell what they do next.

I guess Ace is just trying to do his job without actually knowing why..

Y'know.. Why not just ask if he can let you out?

tell tom to come here and have f explain whats going on, if tom is hessitant have f explain over the walkie talkie

We still havent got a clear answer to what the infection actually does. Make him explain that.

Ask about the other subjects. Are they dead?

Walkie talkie button down while talking to F. See if you can get him to mention why you killed Tom as part of the infection gig.

more info on stiches!

>>3430324
Again we know you won't change you mind that it's pre-drawn. So why even bother staying? Sage once, report if you think it's irrelevant and then hide the thread you stupid fucker.

>>3430337
>>3430333
>>3430332
>>3430330
>>3430329
>>3430326
>>3430323
Less questions. More JESUS CHRIST IT'S ACE.

I'm waiting for another really awesome railroad where we teleport to another room to do something "someone" guessed that has nothing at all to do with the current situation.

Ask Why you killed Tom, and who Tom is/where you knew him from beforehand.

>>3430343
I second that motion!

C'mon, people, self moderate a little. Delete copied posts and posts that Weaver didn't pick.

>>3430292
>"Was I sane?"
"Oh, I doubt it."

>>3430275
>Is there a cure?
"My dear, you ARE the cure."

Filbert asks if you've found a PASSCODE yet. He needs to get to the TOP LEVEL.
The only option now is ESCAPE. He plans to escape the entire facility. He wants to get out.

>>3430343
Thats just a devise to show us what there talking about.

>>3430347
Sorry, Tom died in a railroading accident

"What passcode? How can I help? Tell me EVERYTHING!"

>>3430351

>My dear, you ARE the cure.

What do you mean by that?

>>3430342

If you're a real poster, then no offense but please don't feed the troll. If you're just the troll talking to itself, then, er, please die or something?

>>3430351
You're the director....why can't you get out yourself?

>>3430351
Ask Filbert what he thinks is outside the facility.

>>3430351
Ask about Tom, since he seems just like her.

>>3430351
facepalmomega.jpg

What a lame goddamn "twist"

>>3430351
Tell him you're not going anywhere. Not until TOM is back with you, and hears all this too.

>>3430343

I thought that was just illustrating that they were talking about him? Like a thought-bubble thing?

Get out I have to stop the infections!
No Ruby, you are the infections
and then Ruby was a zombie

Filbert is about to lose it.

>>3430357

"No!" Said Ruby, "I I must find the cures!"

Then Filbert said "No, Ruby. You are the cures."

And then Ruby was a penicillin.

I guess were beyond getting definite answers from Filbert.

>>3430344
>>3430324
>>3430301
>>3430289
>>3430172
Same troll. Nobody's so stupid as to not just hide or report it if they think it's irrelevant and then hide it.

>>3430375
And then RQ was a giant cliche

>>3430364
Are you're masochist or just trolling outside of /b/?

>>3430351

I think now would be a good time for a quick third eye-scan, seeing as we're not losing our delicious bloods through it anymore.

Something about F isn't right..

Force yourself through the pain and use the 3rd eye on him.

>>3430351

Bluff about the passcode. Tell him you'll give it to him if he gives you more information on the situation.

>>3430351
Is he referring to the fact that we have an actual cure to the infection or that the "cure" is for us to kill EVERYONE.

>>3430384
You really don't think that "you're the cure" is just below m. night on the sad, sad plot line scale?

In before "j/k not really the cure" with a hurriedly drawn frame

>>3430385
>>3430386
Oh right 'cause that won't make him flip out. I mean he only thinks you're the cure, and you have no mutations. Better 'cure' him of that right away, eh?

Hold off eyeing him till you have an exit behind you..

>>3430357
>What do you mean by that?
Filbert turns, suddenly angry, and lays it all out.

Ruby already HAS the cure. So does everyone else in this facility.
It brought her SIGHT. It made her WELL. She didn't even need to EAT or DRINK.

But when she died, she fucked it up.
The cure was strong. It brought her BACK. And when she came back
she brought something with her.

Filbert is the only one left untouched. He has to escape. He demands the PASSCODE.

>>3430394

He isn't even looking at Ruby now.

A glimpse is all we need, just to be sure.

>>3430394

>and have no mutations

Wait, wat?

>>3430400
Not very angry looking there.

>>3430400
Yell that you don't know it.

>>3430400
Ruby cries because he started yelling at her and she just doesn't understand what is going on.

>>3430400
Sorry Subject 6, this isn't happening.

>>3430400
"What did I bring with me?"

>>3430400
exactly like that "troll" from the other day posting the irc log about how ruby did something early in her quest that makes it a bad end.

Well, see you guys around.

Ask him to cut the bullshit. Every answer he gives requires a new question back!

>>3430400
Ruby doesn't take that shit from a guy with only one hand. Punch him in the face.

>>3430400
Looks like he plans to murder us if we don't give him the pass code, tell him anything, he's clearly not telling the whole truth and only wants to save his own skin, ready Fisto.

>>3430400

"I've got your passcode right here!"

Then proceed to BITE FILBERT.

>>3430400

I don't have the passcode.

>>3430393
It's not much of a twist, it's a medical facility and it was obvious that they were doing weird experiments, for diseases and such. It's not like it's totally random, it was always an option if you used your brain.

>>3430400
Go on the offensive. You're pissed. He's blaming you for dying? No, fuck that. That was Red. Fuck his science, fuck his goddamn medical jargon. Punch him squarely in the jaw, and go into ANGRY RUBY mode.

>>It brought her SIGHT. It made her WELL. She didn't even need to EAT or DRINK.

>>But when she died, she fucked it up. The cure was strong. It brought her BACK. And when she came back she brought something with her.

Where we're going, you won't need eyes to see.

>>3430400
Eat a dick Filbert, what were we experimenting on?

Get ready for fisticuffs

Filbert is getting hostile, show him who's in charge here.

Use FIST on Filbert's face.

>>3430400
Ask him about the FUCK THE PHYSICS gap.

>>3430400
"Calm down. I don't know of any passcode!"

Tell filbert that you're pretty sure you can take a one armed unarmed scientist with no mutations.

>>3430421
Jesus Christ I stole "Fisto!" from Fallout 3 (which probably stole it from somewhere else) when talking in IRC

I mean, just for the record.

>>3430438
>us
Wat?

Ask him about Number 6

>>3430445
WeE aRE the MaAnY

accuse him of being #6

Bite Filbert.

>>3430408
>Yell that you don't know it.
Ruby is all but in shambles. She denies the accusations and tells Filbert she has no idea what the code to the surface is.

Filbert says Ruby has to stay here now.
She can't go to the surface. She can't ESCAPE. She is INFECTED. She is BAD.
Filbert says to stay here while he gets his TOOLS from the medicine cabinet.

He says he is going to cut Ruby's badness OUT.

YOU ARE NUMBER 6
I AM NOT A NUMBER I AM A FREE MAN
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>3430426
Which is exactly why it's an overweight freight car speeding down the Cliche Line to story told around a campfire with a yelling audienceville

>>3430459
when he opens the cabinet grab his head, slam it in the door and repeatedly shut it on him,
or
PUNCH HIM IN THE DICK WITH FISTO

>>3430459

I think it's fisto time

>>3430459
Slam him with the PRICKLY FIST

>>3430459
RUN! Find Tom.

>>3430459

Scared and confused, run like hell.

Call Tom.

You have no choice now. End Filbert!

Call Tom, tell him shit just got real. Ask for help.

>>3430459
KILL HIM NOW.

OPEN EYE AND KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL.

What code? there is no code yet.

There is only one thing we can do to stave off his attack now!

Let's let him cut the badness out. We're already dead, what's it matter?

>>3430459
Fight him with PRICKLY GLOVE. Mother fucker isn't to be trusted.

So then I took all the games I got recently, namely animal crossing, l4d and fallout 3 and a drew a comic about them in mspaint.

TOOLS?!

>>3430437 HURR UNARMED. Unintended pun?

RADIO TOM, then PUMMEL herr doctor with PRICKLY FIST.

I AM DA CHEESE

>>3430459
When did we say to holster the spike fist? It should be out.
That way Ruby would have some way to cow F while we escape. Maybe fight back.

>>3430459
Come on, Ruby, I know we said you should have a mental breakdown before, but now we want to see you get ANGRY.

Kill Filbert. He's weak. He's old. He's missing a hand. Kill him...EMBRACE YOUR GIFT.

Push him against the wall. Demand answers.

We probably dont have to KILL him.

I'm not bad. you're not taking anything out. I LIKE it.

SCAN DAT MOFO WIF DA EVIL EYE

I hate to repeat myself, but BITE HIM.

>>3430489
We didn't, we've been doing shit automatically all night, it's sorta pissing me off.

Ask about the procedure he's going to do.

>>3430466
What? Going into a medical facility to be cured and it all goes too well and causes them to be abominations? It's been done a few times before but it's not what I'd count as a cliche. It's not like Night's TWEESTS, and it's not that big a cliche.

>>3430508

Shut up, both of you. This is going to autosage real fast if you keep this on.

This guy's obviously nutfucked. Get outta there while you still can and go to Tom. He's going to kill you again.

>>3430484
So I saw people have fun and decided to troll them.

>>3430508
Rose tinted glasses man. Just because it didn't hit you personally like a wet fish doesn't mean that a collective letdown sigh didn't go up like Alderaan was just destroyed

[OKAY I GET IT JESUS CHRIST SHUT THE FUCK UP]

Ruby slams Filbert in the face with her SPINY FIST, sending him staggering backwards!
Ruby takes this opportunity to make her escape!

Call Tom while you're running. Tell him everything.

>>3430524
Run, holler for STITCHES. He may be our only source of help right now.

>>3430522
But... why? It was hinted a lot, was always considered an option, so it's not a TWEEST. It's not a huge cliche, been done a few times before but not to death. And there's still a lot of the story we don't know. Like the weird satanic stuff.

Good work /tg/, we just punched a cripple.

Is Weaver the legorobot guy? The whole "die and come back a little mutated" seems a whole lot like http://www.legorobotcomics.com/?id=71

>>3430530
Fuck you, he was going to turn us into another Stitches.

I really enjoy Dungeons and Dragons personally. It's my favorite traditional game, combining two very classic features of traditional games: INTERACTIVITY and RANDOM CHANCE. Unlike Movies, Television Shows, Comic books, Novels, or any other form of storytelling, a Traditional Game poses some type of challenge that the player can affect the outcome thereof. Dungeons and Dragons seeks to exemplify this by creating a set of rules that plays to these strengths of the traditional game and doesn't avoid them altogether like so many forms of "trash media" these days.

Maybe you can still get help from the crying person in the other room. Be sure to let Tom know there's someone trying to KILL THEM BOTH currently.

>>3430488
OH I GET IT NOW.

>>3430529

And don't forget that Filbert could have been lying to try to get us to drop our guard. Probably wasn't, but still.

>>3430530

And it was awesome.

>>3430524
And really really pissed off the conductor of the railroad.

Perhaps the story will be better for it in the end

>>3430524
Yell at Filbert to stay the fuck down. Intimidate more answers out of him.

>>3430533

You can't prove it's random. You can't prove it ISN'T random. UH OH, no point in trolling, guess we all better shut the fuck up, darn.

>>3430533
>Tl;dr: Dungeons and Dragons is an excellent roleplaying game.

No, Dungeons and Dragons is an excellent Dungeon Crawling game. It is not by any means a good Roleplaying Game.

>>[OKAY I GET IT JESUS CHRIST SHUT THE FUCK UP]

Bad move. You're just giving the troll information. Every time you say something like this, you can expect the volume of spam to increase. Other than that, good work, and thanks for sharing this with us.

>>3430533
Look at the little troll keep on trying. One day son, you'll get there. Just keep on samefaging.

Ruby runs to the next room. Filbert shouts after her -- "Wait!"

>>3430542
B^D

He might have a point with that "Wait!": Remember it as you run and contact Tom.

>>3430547
Keep running, Radio Tom.

Find Tom, try to tell him about Filbert.

>>no point in trolling, guess we all better shut the fuck up
You must not have much experience with trolling.

>>3430544
Uh, he was talking to the guys who kept saying punch Filbert, who the fuck do you think you are, talking like that to Weaver?

>>3430547
Keep backing away but slower, so you can hear what he has to say.

>>3430547
Is there anything we can use to barricade Filbert in?

FUCK that. Throw SPINY FIST at Filbert and continue escape.

Crybaby is still down the ladder, waiting might be a good idea, if he takes a step towards you though,g et the fuck outta there.

>>3430547
Close the door and relock the padlock. Call Tom and redevouz with him.

>>3430547
Turn around, scream at him. "WHY!? SO YOU CAN TURN ME INTO STITCHES?! WHAT KIND OF HOSPITAL IS THIS PLACE!?"

>>3430547
Wait. He doesn't seem very intimidating right now.

"I said WAIT!"

Ruby slams the door behind her, holding it closed.

But it won't lock.

>>3430547
yell: "sorry filbert. I can't trust you right now".


LISTEN TO ME DAMNIT. NOT THE OTHER VOICES. I HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWER.......I think. ok maybe I'm as crazy as the other voices, but I still think I know best.

>>3430567
>>3430568
> Wait. He doesn't seem very intimidating right now.

I beg to differ. Run like hell!

>>3430547
"Tails! Wait for me." - Said Eggman. His intentions clearly wicked.

Dial up dat tom cat Tom and set up an ambush for the doc with his help.

>>3430568
GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!

Run!
Also, try to contact Tom. This is serious!

Close the cabinet and lock THAT.

>>3430568
Oh, yay.
His hand seems to be coming back.

Keep going, don't look back. Radioing Tom to tell him the developments would be a decent idea, but getting to a safer locale to explain would be a good idea, first and foremost.

>>3430569
Do we have anything that might jam the door shut?

>>3430569
Keep it closed and call Tom

Turn, third eye the mofo.

>>3430569

Use the poster-board-script thing to jam shut the door. Then yell at filbert why you shoudl wait for him through the door.

I'd say this changes things.

God damn menthalatum ointment brings back childhood memories thought my sinuses were going to start bleeding.

>>3430580
>>3430577
>Close the cabinet and lock THAT.
Ruby re-locks the padlocked door.

Filbert appears on the monitor.
He shouts angrily at Ruby.
He says he is the only one CLEAN. He is the only one who can ESCAPE. The others have damned themselves.
He says ACE will get her. Ace won't listen to his orders anymore -- he won't even listen to HER. But he is still obedient. Filbert doesn't know who, but he knows he is still listening to SOMEONE.
He says Ace will GET Ruby.

>>3430568

"Most everyone here has succumbed to the infection.
Except for me.".

Yeah, sure, good try Filbert.

Flip off at him. Contact Tom.

>>3430598
Scowl angrily at him, then sadistically inform him of the brand new mutation growing on his face. Congratulations Filbert, you're one of us infect now >:D

>>3430598
Flip Filbert off.

Call Tom and explain everything

>>3430598
Stick out your tongue and say "NEVER CATCH ME"

>>3430598
Point out that his arm obviously shows him to be infected.

>>3430598
Ruby: "You don't seem CLEAN"

Report to TOM, go get the CROWBAR

>>3430598
"Look at yourself. You are mutating right now. You aren't clean, either."

Also, who has Red's hand, and Filbert's amputated hand?

well there's one door we can never open again.

..oh fuck the exit is in there.

>>3430601
Ruby shoots the monitor the bird and it goes back to static.

She radios Tom, and tells him everything that just happened.
Filbert, the "infection" on which even Filbert's account contradicts itself, Ace's obedience, and whoever SHE is.
Tom tells Ruby to go on ahead. There's something he needs to check first, but he'll meet up with her again shortly.

It sounds as though Tom is ready to try working together again.

>>3430613
tom has both hands....god damn tom is hoarding all the hands.

>>3430624

And Ruby all the eyes.

Arrange a meeting point with Tom.

>>3430623

Hmm. Not much else we can do at the moment but check back in the other room to see if the sobbing stranger's still about.

A different figure appears on the monitor.

>>3430623
We should probably go check out the dial in the dummy room, turn it to that symbol we never tried, and check if the console with that symbol above it is now functioning.

>>3430635

Talk to him. Demand answers.

>>3430635

Use THIRD EYE on MONITOR!

Wait for a response

>>3430635

Glare.

>>3430635
Wave half-heartedly.

Flash moniter.

>>3430635
"Do YOU want something?"

>>3430635
Flip him too. You're fucking sick of ominous faces on screens.

>>3430624
EYES and HANDS seem to be a key theme.

>>3430635
point at monitor, tell him to stop that and make frowny faces.

Tom should give Ruby a high 30 when they meet.

The face on the monitor nods, and the east door, which is wired to the monitor, suddenly unlocks and swings open.

Tell him to call off Ace.

Walk cautiously. Keep the radio open at all times, in case you have to tell Tom something quickly.

>>3430654
Is ACE there? Oh god, it's ACE, isn't it.

>>3430654
Enter with PRICKLY GLOVE at the ready

ENTER THE OMINOUS DOORWAY!

THROW CONSEQUENCES TO THE WIND, CHARGE IN SCREAMING YOUR RAGE PENT UP FROM BEING STUCK IN THIS HORRIBLE PLACE.

>>3430654
Tell the face on the monitor to guide TOM to you.

Brace for RAPE and prepare the PRICKLY FIST to RAPE back.

>>3430657
>>3430650
>>3430649
>>3430645
>>3430647
The figure stares blankly.

>Tell him to call off Ace.
The figure shudders once, as if involuntarily, then, unexpectedly, begins to speak in a rattling, hoarse voice, its pitch fluctuating unsteadily.

"I can't," it says.
"I'm sorry."

>>3430676
"Why?"

>>3430676
Sigh, give a shrug. "Figures. Just, make sure Tom gets here, I guess..." then go through the doorway.

The feed cuts out again.

Walk through door.

>>3430676
Since the person can obviously hear us, ask it what the hell is going on here, same general stuff we asked Filbert. See if this person gives different answers.

>>3430682
>>3430667
Ruby enters the newly-opened door, into a new room.

STITCHES is here.

>>3430676
Oh god... that means we haven't met the person who controls Ace. The BBEG is still unknown. However we may have gained an ally.

>>3430696
Wave at Stitches. Remark about his lack of stitching. Ask what kind of facial cream he used.

If it hasn't already been placed on the table... when this is all finished, someone should make a flash movie retelling the events of RubyQuest. That would be so cash.

Say Hi to number #6

radio. tom, get up here. we've got a room to explore. ace is still loose. i met f. we are all infected. yes i killed you, yes i died, no i don't know about either. i punched f in the face when he said he was going to cut the "bad" out of me. i think that covers everything.

Greet Stitches, but remember to stay wary of him.

Obvious course of action: shove Stitches into the fans.

Covertly.

Ask Stitches about the blood on the fan.

"Sup stitches, you're looking better, whats your secret?"

>>3430696
Greet him, don't get too close.

>>3430726
Looks like someone already went into the fans. Or came up the fans when they were off.

don't call him stiches. call him sutures. the name stiches seems to agrivate him.

>>3430696

Check what Stitches is looking down at.

>>3430706
>Wave at Stitches. Remark about his lack of stitching. Ask what kind of facial cream he used.
Ruby makes polite conversation, pleased to see Stitches looking so well. He smiles at Ruby and waves back, glad to see she's okay.

>>3430739
Ask him if he remembers anything from the prior...unpleasantness...from before. Y'know. The whole...gapingmawofteethwithinthemiddleofhishead...kinda thing.

Ask him what he has been up to.

>>3430739
He's a cute guy!

Stitches is more enjoyable with spike hands and crazy mouth-head.

>>3430739
Ask if he remembers meeting her before and how he got there.

....fans..directly above lockers..with pipes leading down..oh my god.

.>>3430739
Ask how he looks so much better.

those arent fans..

>>3430734

Well that will give him someone to talk to down there then. Possibly a bit shredded but hey at least they would have something in common!

Look at the blood on that fan thing. Stitches is playing Will It Blend with peoples.

>>3430746
>Ask him what he has been up to.
Ruby shoves Stitches over the railing.

Seriously, guys, if you want to discuss things takie it to IRC.

Go to www.irc.rizon.net
Pick a name.
Type /join #rubyquest

Keep the threads for suggestions and it means less having to swap around.

>>3430782

THAT'S NOT HOW YOU ASK QUESTIONS

.>>3430782
Of Fuck Bad Ruby has come back.

>>3430782

This is the only correct answer.

So, what's behind the painting?

...EXCUSE ME WTF R U DOIN?

>>3430782

Snap out of it!

>>3430782
..................................ruby you dick. why? you concsious hates you now.

CATCH HIM, QUICK. GOD DAMN NO MORE DEAD THINGS.

>>3430782
We said "ask him how he's been", not "ride the railroad"

Stitches falls into the giant fans.

...Okay, fuck. Way to make it all worse again.

Try to snap out of it and find what's-

Wait this is the past! This is how Stitches got his scars. Soon you'll go and kill Tom too. You're flashbacking!

Grab his leg!

>>3430804
Wait...this is a memory sequence.

Snap out of it, Ruby!

>>3430804
BAD BUNNY, BAD

>>3430804

Wake up!

>>3430782
... I think you misunderstood what I had in mind...
O_O

>>3430804
GOD WHAT

On second thought maybe we should've just let tom hit her in the head with the shovelcain.

You might as well go fast-forward with what happens next: "Ruby meets Tom, they make out, she stabs him, she wakes up from her flashback."

>>3430809

Do you really want to go all the way downstairs just for that?

I'm sure it's a flashback. This is how Subject #1 (Stitches) died. Remember Red's journal.

...what...

what just happened?

That isn't what Ruby meant to do!
That isn't what Ruby meant to do at all!

scream "get out of my head six!"

oh gods, that was priceless
"SAY WHAT AGAIN, MOTHAFUCKA. SAY. WHAT. AGAIN."

Hang on...Filbert = The hound zombie. It was us who messed up his eye.

>>3430828
Freak.

The fuck.

Out.

>>3430804
This is a flashback isn't it? That's why stitches looked so good!
>>3430803
It's okay man I thought that too before I realized what happened.

Take a shower.

You're a monster. Leap into fans and just end it all; Is it really worth surviving if you're prone to just MURDERING a bear the very first time you've seen him happy?

>>3430828
RUBY FLIPS THE FUCK OUT!

>>3430827

This would explain the whole "no stitches" thing.

Also, what is that piece of paper back there? On the wall by the door?

>>3430840

All bears deserve to be murdered.

Check the plant.

>>3430828
Bang head against railing. Repeat.

>>3430837
>This is a flashback isn't it?
Ruby remembers now.
It was horrible.

She...

...she didn't mean to.

Make blood angels on the wall.

>>3430852
Oh okay. NOW read the paper next to the door.

Hope against hope that you don't have to live through Tom's death too.

Walk through the big door.

>>3430852
Cry. Scream. Punch on the walls. What the hell is wrong with you?

>>3430854
Motherfucker just got tossed into giant fucking fans. I don't care what he lived through before, he's not coming out of this in one solid piece.

>>3430852
Cry. You are a murdering monster Ruby. Cry.

>>3430859
>Oh okay. NOW read the paper next to the door.
Ruby's hands are shaking. She picks up the dog-eared NOTE from the PAPER FOLDER on the left side of the door and reads it.

Take paper and wipe sweat of forehead?

>>3430865
This IS what he lived through before. Apparently Stitches has better regeneration than Zombie Deadpool.

>>3430868
>dog-eared
The Hound!

>>3430868
Thank you. You may break down in tears now.

Red was a hero all along, at least he put a temporary stop to the ruby menace!

Check the clipboard

>>3430876
The question is WHY she would before, and why she won't now. What's different?

>>3430868
Red loves Ruby and will protect her despite being a murdering monster.

>>3430868

Take a deep breath, reflect upon and compose yourself before moving on.

>>3430868
Giant fans underneath a catwalk in a facility for blind people?

>>3430868

Autopsy?

ON WHAT?

"The smear located by locker #4 apears to be the left frontal lobe. The discoloration indicates high levels of precortisol, indicating he was, in fact, on high alert at the the time of the incident".

>>3430809
6 has or.. had before this post possibly some mechanism of mind control connected with whatever the treatment (that never was specified) did to Ruby.

Some kind of crazy Voodoo stuff. Should just leave really.

>>3430881
Now she has a bunch of fa/tg/uys for a conscience.

>>3430884
Not just blind people. But it has an electronic lock so it would probably be locked most of the time.

Ruby reads the CLIPBOARD by the door, as well.

>>3430901

I hate you

Okay.

Enter the lab.

Red did it. Red invented a cure for blindness. A cure for everything.

EVERYTHING.

That's Doctor Shrunk confirmed, anyway.

Have ruby investigate the plant, the alcove around it and the pot, including lifting it up to check if anything lurks beneath.

>>3430901
I would have went with
STICHES
All his fans...love him to pieces

>>3430897
Radio Tom, it is taking to long.

>>3430906
Did he invent a cure for birth?

>>3430901
Don't breath this!

look behind the plant

>>3430906

Too bad it has secondary effects. Like, MADNESS, HOMICIDAL BEHAVIOR and probably STARTLE THE ANCIENTS GODS.

third eye time. just blink it to avoid overexposure.

>>3430917
HERETIC!

I say you break the pot open to see if there's anything hidden inside.

>>3430917
No, see, you don't get it. It cures everything.

Even DEATH.

Nobody's supposed to do that. That's bad shit. In big block capital letters fifty feet high.

>>3430917

Ancient gods must not take kindly to scientists discovering immortality. It just makes them SO ANGRY.

Also: *IF the eye does not hurt too much* maybe take a look at that tree above the door.

>>3430913
>look behind the plant
Ruby goes to examine the plant.
TOM enters the room and greets Ruby.

>>3430919

What if using the third eye causes these horrible flashbacks?

Ask Tom about what he found.

inb4 hug tom

>>3430931
Ruby calmly wave to Tom, not startling him. Ask if he has found anything.

Try your best not to hurt Tom. Tell him everything that's happened so far.

Be careful, too: His silence lately can't be good.

Honestly though, playing Monkey Island 2 has taught me this much:

Reanimations and mind control = VooDoo city baby, population: you.

Also i'm selling these fine leather coats..

>>3430931

Smile weakly, wave hello, let him know how glad you are to see him.

>>3430933

We get more information. And sanity loss.

Dont touch tom, you may go berserk and push him in the blender.

>>3430931
"Hi Tom, I just remembered I killed more people. So, nothing personal, I guess."

>>3430931
tell tom EVERYTHING. even that filbert said that ruby did kill tom. and that ruby did die. ruby also remembers killing stitches but doesn't understand why.

>>3430931
Lets keep a good distance away from Tom if we can't trust ourselves to not try to murder him.

>>3430941

Don't be silly, Tom won't let Ruby close enough.

Greet Tom, tell him about the last events. And try not to blend him during the process.

Tell TOM everything. Cry a bit while doing so.

>>3430939

>Also i'm selling these fine leather jackets.

fixed

Ask him what he has been up to.

Don't blender Tom, cry in corner, ask Tom to go away somewhere safer.

>>3430931

Ask him a question. In the swahili language comprised entirely of pushing she speaks so eloquently.

For goodness' sake, we're not going to kill Tom here. He died by scalpel, not by being shoved into a blender. He still has his gaping eye wound. If he were whole and Ruby was making out with him, then there would be cause for concern.

>>3430962
Clever...

>>3430970

It's not a reason not to bee too careful. You'll never know.

>>3430970
she is going to actually blender him. as in now/present for real.

Click TOM's radio, to make sure this is the real TOM.

>>3430960

Clearly i've been up too late. adios

>>3430974

This; After the earlier events you can't be too sure.

Ruby explains the situation to Tom. She even tells him about her flashbacks.

Tom doesn't seem as fazed as she'd thought.

Back away slowly. Contact Tom with radio.

Click radio for security!
If he doesn't have the other radio PUSH INTO BLENDER!

>>3430982
Punch him in the testes and run.

TOM :
Push Ruby into the fans.

step away from the fucking fans and USE YOUR DAMN RADIO

>>3430982
Back the fuck away from the rails. I think Tom's getting something, it may be dangerous.

Tom is cornering you Ruby. Keep him 5 feet away at all times for both of your sakes! Duck around him away from the wall.

Let Tom talk a little, se what he has to say.

'Accidently' turn radio on while talking, listen for his radio, if you don't hear it, 'notice' that you turned yours on and ask him where his went.

>>3430999

God dammit and I just deleted to fix.

But srsly; Chuckle nervously and call Tom on the radio.

>>3430982
yell doppleganger and hit tom over the head with the oxygen tank.

bonus points for finding the reference. please don't take this seriously.

We're getting a bit paranoid, aren't we?

Ask Tom what is he been up to, and what he thinks about the current situation.

Keep the Radio on whilst you speak to Tom, just in case.

And ask Tom to lift his shirt so you can see his MANLY PHYSIQUE. Need to check on those stump arms!

>>3431004
CYCLOPEAN AWESOME

Oh, god! He went back to get his crowbar! It's behind his back.

Beep your walkie talkie to see if this is really TOM

He might also, y'know, be mind controlled. If that's the case, nothing we've mentioned will help much.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE PEOPLE DELETE ALL THE DITTO POSTS

Tom explains he found this note while digging through the rubble near Red's room.

>>3431023
THIS

>>3431007

You're not fooling anyone, Queen Dopplepopoluous.

>>3431025

So you're both dead. Now would be a good time to hug Tom tightly.

Then head through the door.

>>3431025
Read note

So, we're immortal amnesiacs?

>>3431035
You. I am going to start hurting you now.

Ask if Tom is prepared to travel with us again.

>>3431044

Didn't you catch the DON'T TRUST THE SKULL reference in the last part?

Spread legs for Tom, ask if he wants 'to get infected'

Collect yourself then move to Lab B's doors.

Enter.

FUCK

ruby killed tom to prevent him from becoming infected and resurrecting as a monster

>>3431056
But he's already infected, I don't see how....oh.

>>3431060
clearly didn't take

Ruby discreetly presses the button on her walkie-talkie.

Tom's radio crackers.

ASK TOM to help open the locker in locker room that ruby couldn't open.

>>3431066

because she was too late

>>3431069

Ask him how he can stay calm about this.

Tom: 'Ruby, I have an idea'

Kill her.

Continue to the lab

And then ruby was a zombie... Oh wait

>>3431069
Quick push him in.

>>3431069
"heh, just kidding"

"Come on, we should try and explore the lab."

Red fooled everyone, right now his plan to make the infected kill each other permanently is starting to work.

He couldn't get to 6 in the upper lab so he makes it look like 6 is the mastermind behind the insanity while he hides and lets Tom & Ruby work towards breaching the labs isolation.

Once the lab is open he'll kill 6 and try to escape the metal glen.

Red is not dead at all, he's the clump growing in the vat, waiting for rebirth.

Now, to Upper Lab B!

>>3431078
Much too late for now, anyway.

>>3431069
Tell him the truth, we're being truthful now it seems.

>>3431079

Why should he care anymore? They're already dead, anyway.

Wait until he turns his back to Ruby and press the button again.

>>3431057
>Collect yourself then move to Lab B's doors.
The door is locked with a massive, very distinctive padlock.

So it's 6 who was at the screen, who's back there!

Go find Ace. Get some answers out of him or something.

Also you could try your eye on the FUCK PHYSICS room at some point.

Unless they have the key I dont think they will get through that door.

Head out.

>>3431101
scream for ace to get his scrawny ass over here and open the damn door. be dominant and make him cry like a little bitch.

>>3431101
Try to see if you can see anything through the windows on the door. Also try knocking/yelling and wait for a response.

>>3431101
So, I say again, break the potted plant and search for it. If it's not there, try asking Tom to open the Locker Ruby couldn't.

>>3431101
Welp, lets go try that dial option in the dummy room to see if we can use that terminal with the same icon then.

Check the plant since we were interrupted by Tom earlier.

Time to go hunting for Aces. Arm thyselves, and try to lure Ace back to this room when you find him.

>>3431069
>Tom's radio crackers

I think we need to make a trap for Ace.

Inventory check please, for both of them.

Ruby never got around to examining the plant, did she? Tom walked in and took her attention away.

Have them do so now.

>>3431101
Crowbar the door open

>>3431113
>Try to see if you can see anything through the windows on the door.

>>3431115
There's nothing behind the plant, and nothing in the pot but the plant and some soil.
It seems to just be... an ordinary plant.

>>3431115
tom did that on his own last thread.
it said "don't trust 7."
