>>17292609

I go through the door

>>17292609
Look around. Are we clothed? Do we have pockets? What are inside them?
Take a quick double check of our situation.

and then open the door.

Check whether they took my ammo.

I get up and walk over to the window. Carefully, trying not to expose myself too much, I look out. What do I see?

>>17292609
Is this one of those goddamn escape the room flash games? It is isn't it?

I close the fucking tab.

>>17292640

Well why'd you post a picture of a room with a window if the room has no windows? Fuck.

>>17292624

You check the door, and find it's unlocked.

Opening it reveals an empty hallway, a quick glance reveals two T shaped intersections at either end, and the hallway itself is roughly 30 feet long.

The doorway you just stepped through is the only one in sight.

So you'll post this shitspam every day now?

>>17292652

Do this first: >>17292627

>>17292652
Check inventory.

>>17292647

To fuck with you.

>>17292627
>>17292637

Looking over yourself, you are currently wearing only a plain white t-shirt, and underwear.

Taking a moment to check them further, there are no identifying tags or labels.

>>17292652

Go left! Go left!

...

No fuck wait, go right! Go right!

...

Fuck, the pressure is too much! Abort! Abort!

>>17292682

Do we have boobs?

>>17292661

Actually, that was a legitimate attempt at something, ruined by trolls because I didn't use a trip-code.

Hopefully I've solved this problem.

>>17292682

Are there any usable items stored inside my ass?

>>17292682
Place my hand on the left hand side of the wall.
Lets take a walk.

>>17292698
Go down the left hallway.

>>17292696

It seems you do.

You quickly realize that this has no impact on your current situation.

>>17292684

Faced with a simple binary option, you briefly suffer a panic attack.

Maybe it's just this weird situation making it worse, but the lack of information seems to make the choice all the harder.

PUNCH TREES

>>17292701

You would have noticed the discomfort.

>>17292716
>>17292718

Following the left hand wall, you reach the corner, and go around it.

In the distance, you see what looks like a balcony, but it's a little too far to tell. It occurs to you that your glasses are gone.

We already went over this OP

I go though the door

If I find a guy I tell him "Don't worry I'm a hero"

>>17292730

Are you kidding? This has a colossal impact on the situation! This determines my biologically mandated psychological tendencies, my physical shape, and gives me a whole new world of problem solving possibilities should we interact with another person at some point!

But more to the point, it seems we're going left.

>Exits are North, South, and Dennis.
>Dennis

>>17292731

You take a moment to vent your frustration.

No trees are available, so you punch a nearby wall.

This proves to be a mistake, as the wall is unharmed, and now your hand hurts.

>>17292750
...
I suppose I should just keep going then.
Am I short-sighted or long-sighted and how bad is my eyesight?

>>17292750

Do we NEED glasses, or is our sight good enough without them?

Either way, let's move towards the balcony.

>>17292750

Approach the balcony with caution. Stick as close to the wall as possible, and breathe quietly. Peer out over the balcony and squint, let's see what we see.

>>17292781
PUNCH WALL UNTIL RECEIVE WOOD TO BUILD CRAFTING TABLE WITH

>>17292764

The vast possibilities of womanhood occur to you.

However, you decide to put aside such implications until you know what the hell is going on.

>>17292754

A part of you wishes for companionship. Sadly, you seem to be the only living thing in the area.

Wow, guys.

Walk down the hallway.

>>17292828
The other thing I want to say.

Wake up. This is a dream.

My hand is an ample enough companion.

Check around to ensure privacy, then proceed to fap.

>>17292787
>>17292782

Definitely near-sighted.

You can function without your glasses, but the world gets pretty blurry past 50 feet or so.

>>17292792

Deciding to err on the side of caution, you approach the balcony.

Getting to it, you realize it's more of a half-wall with a window. Down below you see what looks like the entrance plaza to the building you're in. There appears to be one of those inlaid logo things on the floor, but you can't make out what it is.

You're at least 6 stories up, looking at the inside, and you notice stairs going up and down to your left and right, respectively.

>>17292682
Turn the t-shirt into a ninja-style mask, put it on head, then put underwear on head.

>>17292850
I believe you meant, 'schlick'.

>>17292850
>>17292884

FUCK IT LET'S DO BOTH

>>17292850

Seeing as to how well your last attempt at stress relief went, you decide to try... other methods.

You soon decide it isn't really working out though, and abandon your efforts.

>>17292836

You try to disbelieve your situation and wake up, but the dull throbbing in your hand reminds you that it's very much real.

>>17292881
Go back to the room we woke up in and look under the bed for our glasses.

>>17292881

Let's take a quick look at the other end of the hallway and see if it is just stairs, too. If not, investigate. If so, we'll go down the left stairs on our current side.

>>17292881
Alright. Time to go down the other fork.

>>17292882
>>17292884
>>17292894
>>17292850

[Please tell me you guys are joking here. This is actually supposed to be you know, serious?]

>>17292825

Waever I go thougt the door I don't give a fuck I'm the hero

>>17292934
Check the other end

>>17292920

Returning to the room you woke up in, you search for your glasses. Sadly, they're nowhere to be found.

Luckily, your fruitless search didn't take very long, seeing as to how bare the room is.

>>17292922
>>17292929

Checking the other end of the fork you choose, you discover a few doors, and at the end an elevator that doesn't work, and a window to the outside.

Sadly, you can't make out a damn thing besides a bunch of blur in various shades of green, gray, and blue.

>>17292934

Just ignore the troll posts, OP. You don't need to respond to every one and they're inevitable. There's at least a couple of us here actually playing.

>>17292934
This is /tg/. WE ARE ALWAYS SERIOUS!

>>17292974

Call the elevator. While we're waiting, what can we make out beyond this window?

>>17292974
Green grey and blue...Trees and buildings, perhaps?
Either way, if we have not checked out the other t intersection we should do that now.

>>17292882
DO IT, WE ARE NINJA

>>17292974
Try all the doors
All of them.

Knock first.

>>17292992

You already deduced the elevator is non-functional, and all you can see out the window is blur.

There are however a few doors you passed on the way here....

>>17292974
Open the doors.

>>17293030
Get on the floor.

>>17293000

Investigating further, you discover it's more or less a mirror of the other side.

When you get to that sides stairs however, you almost think you see a flicker of movement across the way.

>>17293010

Knocking yields no response. Only two doors are unlocked: in one, you find a lab of some sort. Various types of machines. also inside is a closet, that seems to have medical scrubs as well as a lab coat, and a pair of slippers. The cloths are ever so slightly too large, but a quick tuck or two and they're serviceable.

On one wall is a large monitor, which has the room you were in displayed.

Or you think it's the same room, but you don't remember seeing any cameras.

The other door seems to be some sort of janitors closet, with exactly the sorts of things you'd expect to find in there.

Is that it then?

Nobody wants to play anymore?

>>17293086

Is there anything in the janitor's closet we could use as a weapon? Just in case, you know. Put on the scrubs and slippers, and a medical mask if there is one. Carry the lab coat with us.

>>17293086
Alright. Pick a stair. Any stair, I don't care. Preferably the one with movement, I guess

>>17293215

[I sort of assumed you would put on the clothes].

[Though I'm surprised that you're specifying leaving the lab coat off.]

Mops, brooms, various cleaning chemicals.

Also a hat, like the one in the picture.

>>17293235

The movement wasn't on the stairs itself, but across the way. Like you saw it through a window on the other side of the plaza you were overlooking.

But we can go with that anyway.

Would you like to go up or down the stairs?

>>17293279
Down, and bring a broom.

>>17293279
Down the stairs

>>17293364
>>17293305

Down we go.

[Sorry if I'm going a bit slow here, some shit's happening. I'll let you know if I'm gonna be gone for a while]

You down down the stairs a level, and see more hallways going around.

It seems quite a bit more complex than the floor you just came from, but you can't see much from here.

The stairs continue down.

[would you like to go down further, or explore this level?]

>>17293407
Continue downwards to the very bottom

>>17293407
Continue, but keep the broom ready. If the anything hostile pops up. smack it,

>>17293424

You make it another two floors down before encountering some sort of security door. You could try to break it, but it looks rather tough. You could try and find another way around, or maybe an alternate method of getting past.

Jumping might also be an option, but you're still a good three floors up.

>>17293456

Thus far, you have encountered nothing.

>>17293259

Wearing the lab coat makes us look like we might know something, which could be a problem if we run into whoever works here. With the scrubs on we just look like a random assistant and therefore not important.

>>17293461

Let's explore the current level if we can, otherwise go back up to the level we skipped.

>>17293480

[Interesting logic on the coat]

Taking a moment to look around, you see a couple of dead-end hallways, and locked doors. However, you do find your way to a semi-open office area with cubicles, as well as several rooms around it, visible through glass.

Possible choices for investigation:

>Kitchenette.
>Lounge.
>Cubicles.
>Corner Office
>Is that a lab?

>>17293528

Kitchenette. Any knives?

>>17293542

A few. Only one sharp one though. There's also an assortment of other silverware, a single burner stove, a box of strike anywhere matches, and some food in the fridge.

It occurs to you that you're kinda hungry, nothing too bad though. You could ignore it and keep looking around.

>>17293577

Might as well grab a bite, nothing big or time-consuming though.

Grab the sharp knife and conceal it in the lab coat, carry the matches in our bra (assuming we have one). Let's check the lounge next. Carefully.

>>17293630
We have underwear.

>>17293577
Get knife and matches, look at the food.

>>17293630

[You also have pockets.]

You grab a cup of Yogurt and a spoon.

The lounge is more or less what you expect, some chairs, some books. Generally just an area to relax when on break in an office.

You notice a newspaper on one chair, mentioning some construction project, a local sports team falling apart due to some misunderstanding with hookers, and a mention of a local lab complex dropping off the grid.

The date is listed as July 17th, 2012.

>>17293684
>You also have pockets.
WHOA JACKPOT

>and a mention of a local lab complex dropping off the grid
Wait a second.
Read that article.

>>17293714
And maybe scan over the construction project one, incase it is relevant.

>>17293714

Unfortunately, there isn't much more to it than that.

Apparently, some outside groups claimed that they were up to something weird, and when officials stepped in to ask questions, the locked their doors and went dark.

Apparently it was at least a week before when the newspaper was printed.

>>17293734

Something about a new sports arena.

Nothing that interesting, old one burned down or something, decided they needed a new one.

>>17293771
Check the cubicles I guess. See if there are any clues on the computers.

I might go if this doesn't pick up some momentum soon. Nothing personal.

>>17293734
Also try to remember if July 17, 2012 has any significance, or a date near that.

>to Other anons, ring any bells?

>>17293825
I'm pretty sure 17/7/12... Hasn't happened yet.

On a more serious note, what's the last thing we remember before waking up? We're missing our glasses- what do we remember about where we left them? Where we got them?

>>17293817

[I'm going exactly as fast as you are, and none taken.]

Looking over the cubicles, you discover few things of interest.

One computer however, has a password written down next to it.

On a hunch, you log in, and see some documents and some sort of e-mail client.

>>17293825

You aren't sure. You want to think it does, but it's not ringing any bells.

>>17293853

You can't remember much of anything.

It's weird.

You didn't even realize you used to wear glasses until you needed them. Maybe something will trigger your memories as you continue?

>>17293877

Let's look at those documents, anything that seems relevant to us?

>>17293899
>>17293877
Look through documents for anything pertaining to where we are. Our room (or one like it) was being monitored. Perhaps we are part of an experiment? Check for logs.
Could give us a name, at least.
On a related note, we need to pick a name in case we run into anyone and they ask us who we are.
Saying we don't remember seems suspicious.

>>17293899

Notes about various test subjects. Most of them seem to be human judgeing from the notes.

Most of it seems to be a bit too high concept for you to understand.

There is an interesting note: "Subjects seem to experience extreme paranoia after waking. Most begin to randomly do things seeking some sort of stimulus. Some have been recovering from the enhancements better, and are able to think and reason clearly. All however, seem to retain no memories of their past life, odd considering that their personality seems more or less intact. Sadly, roughly 70% of the subjects had to euthanized with lack of funding. We don't want this sort of tech just getting out there yet."

Suddenly, you don't feel as hungry anymore.

You note a memo about leaving a spare access key in a drawer, but the drawer seems to be locked.

>>17293920
>>17293899

You note that one of the subjects looks a lot like you, before shutting down the computer.

All that was attached for ID purposes was a barcode/number combination and the name "Katherine".

>>17293965
Did we note the number?
Anyway, we haven't checked the corner office, right?
Let's go there.

Did the fridge contain alchohol?
If we are wearing a string (underwear) or can find a piece of string, we should tie the matches together and have them near a spare shirt or something. Will be a "fast-fire" in case of emergency.
Also, eggs, were there any eggs in the fridge?

Bump? OP?

>>17294004

No eggs, no alcohol.

Mostly stuff like Hot Pockets.

Underwear is modest and basic. Not a thong.

String is easy enough to find, but you don't really have a spare shirt.

>>17293983

You could [honestly, doesn't matter. I'll just assume you did.]

You open the office door and....

Oh god.

That's a lot of blood.

>>17294083
Excellent, see if we can bottle some. We need writing material.

>>17294083
Take a moment to get used and for the shock to pass, then proceed carefully, trying not to step on blood, to search the room.

>>17294111
>>17294098

[need to go for a minute. Switching computers]

>>17294083

Skipped the thread till this part.

I lie on the floor and move my limbs to make a blood angel.

>>17294111
Oh, yes, also assume we got some spare food saved in pockets for later use!
Oh, and keep that robe handy, we may need to throw it on someone's face.

Can we use out-of-character knowledge, and if yes, at what extent?

What, nobody used the computer to check the date?
step it up.

>>17294232
Seconding this.
Actualyl check for internet access.

Soooooo, OP gave up?

>>17294338
No. See :
>>17294124

>>17294344
How much time could it take for Op to change pcs?
Bah...

Yeah, sorry guys.

Roomate set my couch on fire, took longer than i thought. Still got some shit to deal with.

You guys want to wait about an hour or so, or pick this up Monday?

>>17294404
Waiting is fine with me.

>>17294409

Yeah, sorry about this.

BTW, what you're doing now is the prologue area, it's slow but it's setting the tone and shit. Once we get out of this part, things will get more exciting, I promise.

>>17294404
If my eyes can remain open for so long... It's already 4:30 after midnight here...

You know, now I feel kinda guilty I trolled that first attempt to get this off the ground into oblivion.

I saw this, popped in ta troll, read the quest, and am genuinely enjoying this.

>That's a lot of blood.

When I got to that line....

The way this has been set up, I was expecting something like this. Even knowing that shit was coming... The fact that it's being written the way we perceive things and not in a more general sense... he's doing something subtle here.

Also, does

>this is an elaborate troll in the guise of a quest thread.

Worry anybody else?

>>17294607
Wait, what?

>>17294607

A little, but in the meantime I'm enjoying this quest.

>>17294628

You didn't notice that?

>>17294691
Enlighten me please.

>>17294715

The bit where he says 'It's a troll thread'.

Took a bit longer than I thought.

Anybody still in here?

>>17295147
Yes

>>17295184

Just you?

Shit.

Might be best to pick up the quest again later, say... Monday?

i'll go ahead and archive this.

>>17295265
Aww, I'm here too

>>17295265
I'm here, but only for lurking

Still here two, both eyes open.

>>17295369
>>17295432

FUUUUU- I just put my shit away when I refreshed.

Just. Finished.

Shit guys, I'm sorry. You want me to keep going then? I just need to re-open my maps, notes, etc. Shouldn't take me more than ten minutes to get everything sorted.

>>17295548
Sure, do it.

>>17295548
Yes please OP, keep going

>>17295652
>>17295671

Alright.

Shit.

I'll get set up, and then respond to >>17294098
>>17294111
>>17294124

>>17295721
Lurker here. I second the motion for a Blood Angel. Makes us more fierce and intimidating to potential threats or predators.

>>17294098

The idea occurs to you to take some for one sinister purpose or another... but it passes quickly. That'd make you look like some insane movie slasher. If nothing else, there's a lack of half-naked teenagers to make that a viable plan.

The thought makes you giggle nervously, and somehow makes the scene easier to bear.

>>17294111

After taking a minute to steady yourself and push back the urge to puke, you look around the room.

There's a body here. More or less. It looks like it was a person at one time, but it's been ripped apart so savagely it's impossible to tell who they were or what they looked like. Across the walls it looks like some sort of insane geometry and symbolism. Staring at it too long makes your eyes start to water a bit, so you try looking at other things. The computer's destroyed, the desk has been ripped in two....

And there's something small in the corner.

It looks like a wallet.

>>17295967
Skip these OP, you know we will just open the wallet!

>>17295967
I have an idea.
Draw this in blood.

>>17295967

Oh awkward posting times.

Okay, I'll bite. Still got the broom? Try acquiring the wallet with the broom.

>>17296054

[I tell you only what you perceive. All action is up to you. I'm also ignoring the fucking stupid shit like making a 'Blood Angel'.]

You get the wallet. Inside is about 300 USD, a few pictures of some family and a cabin on a lake somewhere, and a couple of cards. You aren't sure about the credit cards, but that looks like an employee ID card with a magnetic strip.

>>17296111
Is making the sigilum deus also "fucking stupid shit"?
Because I meant that in all seriousness.

>>17296087

[I'm going to need more than one person to chime in on something like this. Also, why would you do that.]

>>17296111
Examine our body.
We've been enhanced, right? See if we can see something unusual.
Try a few keywords. "Activate Augmentations", "Engange Enhancements" etcs

>>17296129
Because you're not the only one who can play quasi-meta mindgames.

>>17296111
Examine the family.
See if we can recall anything about being in a cabin and being in an accident
Read the cards

>>17296123

[I'm not going to spoil anything, but making the seal of god in the blood of someone who clearly died screaming and shit, in a room covered in what looks like blasphemous runes.... Does that REALLY sound like a good idea? I won't stop you, but...]

>>17296111
Take the gold and hide it in underwear, behind. To make sure nobody will "steal it unexpectedly". In a place like this i wouldn't trust my own shadow.

Now, keep moving on to see what else we can find.

>>17295501
you want
>>17286747

>>17296168
That's exactly one of the reasons I wanted to do it, my good man.
I wanted to see if this was human, or inhuman work.
There's more to it than merely discovering the plot, of course, but it's a very important fact that might've been uncovered.

>>17296168
We want it. And we want our Blood Angel. Deal with it.

>>17296111

Did that locked door have a keycard swiper?

>>17296218
Blood Angel is flat-out retarded though
Sigilum Deus will tell us A LOT about our player character, how our commands function, how the plot works, etc.

>>17296134

You're in decent shape. You have roughly shoulder length Auburn hair. your skin is slightly pale, but not unhealthily so. Looking closer, you have a few very methodical looking scars on your arms, legs and parts of your torso that you can see. Not unsightly, but definitely present.

You don't feel different, or at least think you don't.

You're pretty sure you're normal, but you also aren't entirely sure where 'normal' is.

Striking poses and saying code-phrase like things do nothing.

>>17296159

Nothing springs to mind. The man's name was apparently Noah Barton. He was apparently an organ donor.

You aren't sure they'll want them anymore.

>>17296151

[You have amnesia. How do ytou even know what it is?]

>>17296231
If you haven't read the thread, commands work something like this:

>OP gives us data to represent sensory input
>We respond with actions
>The actions are performed.

I mean, what's so hard about it?

>>17296233
Let's keep moving people! What can we see ahead?

>>17296220

You think it might have.

>>17296231
>>17296218
>>17296186

[You guys REALLY want to try and call GOD and talk to him?]

>>17296233
See, that's an important distinction that I hoped to learn, my good man.
It means that her knowledge is limited. This, we were not completely sure of beforehand. It also means that her knowledge of, shall we say, "obscure" facts are gone. Her personality, and basic knowledge remains, but higher learning is vanished.

Even if she knew how to do it, but didn't, we'd learn something about her personality.
>>17296251
I'm paranoid because of his mention that it's "a troll thread in the guise of a quest"

>>17296233
Those scars are probably where the advanced tech was applied.
Now, let's try and see if we can get it to work.

>>17296266
LET'S JUST FUCKING KEEP MOVING PLEASE!!!

downvoting making eldritch diagrams

>>17296233
>>17296266

Okay, so we'll get back to that door.

But first, try the Kamen Rider henshin.

And then, scribe the eldritch whatever in the blood, for science.

>>17296266
Ow, now I'm confused
Do we know the Sigilum Dei/Deus (whatever) and you're just keeping us from it because it's BAD END, or do we not know it and are you just telling us it's a shit-tier idea?

Also, think of the implications if God exists! That means there's definitely something fishy about this, because God existing means something for the plot, obviously.

OR you could be stringing us along, making us think this was occult when it's mundane!
>>17296280
They're divine, not eldritch

I'll let it lie if no one else wants it, but I think it's a good idea (in terms of plot) to do it.
In terms of survivability it's fuck-tarded, though, mostly because it'd require our focus IN A ROOM WHERE SOMEONE JUST GOT KILLED

Probably gonna spring up as a mech-zombie or something, and eat us if we do it.
Or God'll smite us
Either way, it's a good idea if we want to learn a bit about the plot the fast, paranoid way

>>17296258

Currently? The wall that you've been debating doodling on.

Would you like to go see/do something else?

>>17296269

It occurs to you that the scars might be where they were messing with you with the whole 'advanced tech' thing or whatever. It also occurs to you that those are just the marks you can see, more might have healed, or simply be somewhere not obvious.

You have absolutely no idea what they might be, or how to use them though.

The character is amnesiac, and the knowledge of that ritual you mentioned is obscure at best, also trying to practice magic in a murder scene is something pants on head crazy.
Also I'm pretty disturbed about the first two sentences in the OP.

>>17296295

[How good an idea it is or isn't, and whether or not I messing with you... Not saying. however, if you really think the kill is that fresh, why are you just standing there?]

>>17296301
>Would you like to go see/do something else?
Yes please, are there any other exits to this room? Can we gather something of importance from the broken desk?

>>17296301
Get shocked, then check our genitals with hand to see if we got blood or something not natural there, hoping we are not pregnant carrying something... Vile...

After that, procceed further.

>>17296310
It's not a ritual, it's a religious symbol containing all the names of God.
I've also said it's crazy.
That's PRECISELY why I wanted to do it.
It's probably too meta to make sense for anyone who's trying to play this as an actual quest instead of a psychological test.
Which is fair enough because it IS a quest.
I'll let it lie.
>>17296329
Because I don't have much interest vested in her survival? Thought it was obvious when I pressed on an obviously suicidal move.
I like the quest, I just want to learn about your intent more than I want to learn about the chick's fate.

>>17296329
Hey, good point.
Is the blood warm? The flesh we can see, can we estimate when it died?

>>17296329
DUDE
WE WANT TO MAKE THE SIGILUM DEUS
FUCKING DO IT.
At some point, you have to decide whether you're truly making a psychological experiment worth its salt or if you have a preset railroady game all planned out ahead of time.

We want to talk to God. Roll wit it, nigga.

well if our protagonist's psyche IS insulating our requests from our actions,
>lick blood
anyway, continue looking around, did we find a mirror? Stick tongue out at mirror

>>17296335

>Something weird just happened?
>Better shove my hand in my pants!

[Some fucking times....]

Nothing SEEMS out of place, but now you're just weirded out.

Of course, that could be due to the fact that you're in a room with a dead body.

>>17296334

They only way out is the way you came in, you think.

You don't see anything salvageable. That guy's spleen just fell from the ceiling with a wet 'plop'.

You feel slightly queasy.

>>17296354
are you the op
is this part of his psychological experiment?

>>17296390
Perhaps.
I can tell you I'm not
>>17296368
though.

Whether I'm OP I'll let OP decide if OP ever makes the decision to out me as OP

rolled 16 = 16

>>17296389
Move outside back the way we came and search the other rooms.

>>17296389
Alrighty, then leave the room and close the door. What haven't we explored yet? We go wherever's closer.

>>17296389

Sounds like time to leave. Are there any other rooms on this floor?

>>17296390

Oh boy, time for paranoia.

>>17296389
Check the heat of the body!
Or the blood!

>>17296361

It's still more or less damp, but not that warm. It happened at least an hour ago, by your best guess.

>>17296354

>I like the quest, I just want to learn about your intent more than I want to learn about the chick's fate.

[This says more about you than you realize.]

>>17296368

[Since you're so insistent... Can we get a quick vote here? See how many want Vs don't want?]

>>17296445
no eldritch symbols, goddammit.

>>17296445
Haha! Brilliant!
In the interest of SCIENCE!, I propose we draw the sigil!
I mean, the chances of the Abrahamic God existing, and it even being the Christian God, is very small!
In fact, I'd bet our darling woman can't even remember the sigil!

rolled 17 = 17

>>17296445
It is beggining to bore me...

>>17296445
This democracy thing is all part of your experiment IS IT NOT?
Anyway I'm strongly against it.

>>17296233
GUYS
WHAT IF THE US-LADY KILLED THE NICE SCIENTIST? WHAT IF THE MONSTER WAS US ALL ALONG

>>17296464
I vote for the sigil.

>>17296405
>>17296390
>>17296438

[I haven't posted once in this thread without the trip up. I won't do it ever either, so the speculation can stop].

>>17296438

[That you can access? Only the one 'lab' looking room.]

>>17296419
>>17296418

Taking a deep breath, you step outside. You mentally list the places you could go.

>The floor you skipped.
>The security door, see if you can get past.
>Back upstairs, and down the other side.
>Upstairs, past where we started.
>Lab.

Haha, OP I salute your cunning! You've had /tg/ shown quite a lot about themselves by allowing this "vote".
The fact that they're voting "no" on something they are obviously quite convinced could have no consequences, on the basis that there is no Divine overbeing, is strange, and probably the kind of stuff you were after!

This is my kind of quest! We have to fight not only the threats of this human augmentation facility, but your plans to lure information about our psyche as well!

I am downvoting this sigil of god crap so hard my dick hurts right now. Our character wouldn't know it, and even if she did she'd have to be one sick fuck to sketch it by dragging her finger through some poor bastard's blood. Besides the in-character reasons for it being retarded, it would turn this from a suspenseful trek through a lab complex of unknown origin into yet another /tg/ trollfest.

>>17296464
>>17296468
>>17296480

[So what, 2/2 split? If I'm the tie-breaker, I'm saying it's time to move on.]

>>17296496
Lab. We're going to the lab. Science is afoot here, and we'll get to the bottom of it.

rolled 7 = 7

>>17296496
Security door now!

>>17296496

Might as well check that security door.

>>17296523

Labs are always good to go to.

>>17296518
3 for no:>>17296456
>>17296468
>>17296502

>>17296518
I like the idea of the sigil, because either way, shit's gonna spice up what would otherwise be a rather nondescript quest thread.

Fuck it, let's summon Asmodeus

>>17296565
So now it's 3/3
I already voted, but really, how about we just move on? It was my idea from the start, but I just felt it would give us an insight into how our interactions with the PC worked. Whether we could inject our knowledge, if not, whether she was an educated woman or a nondescript hobo to be tested upon, etc. etc., as well as dick with the OP by trying to deduce some of his tricks.
Now, it's just taking away time from his quest, and I feel bad because it's pretty interesting

>>17296523

You go to the little lab area in the office.

Inside, you find beakers, tubes, and various other things.

There are scattered notes, some of them seem relevant to your interests. "modifications seem to work much better in female subjects. 97% of Males have rejected them in one way or another, while the women are almost a perfect 50-50 between success and failure. Still unacceptable, but progress."

"Had to euthanize another one today. It seems like we're shooting very a very narrow window here: if the female is prepubescent like today's subject, we have a 100% fatality rate. Either because of the side effects of rejection, or because it's a mercy after what happens. However, in the late 20's/early 30's the brain's developments and connections are more or less completely done, making for equally futile efforts. The target window for the best results is 16-21 then, since we have to almost 60% survival."

>>17296616
Alright, so mental enhancements. I suspected as much when I realized we haven't come across a mirror yet (if we had, we would've been able to see scarring, and lack of hair on our head).

Now, try to see what the other notes say.
LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE BACKGROUND
An hour ago means the killer is probably still here
Clutch our knife with one hand. Flight > Fight, but we might not get the chance

>>17296616

After that, they get darker. Most of the survivors have a complete mental break, and go insane within 24 hours of waking up.

There's a note to speak to a Dr Werner about the 'mutations' that come with.

A chill runs down your spine.

>>17296616

So it's a robotics place...and the lab's full of chemical equipment.

>>17296616
When we looked at our body, was their any indication as to age? Can we make a guess at our age somehow?

>>17296640
Modifications doesn't imply robotics in any way.

>>17296636

Bro...

>You have roughly shoulder length Auburn hair

>>17296660
No, but biomechanical engineering is usually connected with robotics.

>>17296636

[It was noted earlier that you have long-ish hair]

You suddenly notice how quiet it is. Slowly, you draw your knife and reach out as much as you can with all your senses.

It's so still, you could hear a pin drop from a mile away.

You also realize that whoever/whatever did that to the man left no trace outside the room.

You're just now coming to terms with how fucked up your situation is.

>>17296664
>>17296679
Lack of hair doesn't mean you're completely bald, my friends.
Ever had stitches to your head? Often, you need a good deal of hair to be cut off to make room for the stitches.
Same with incisions, I'd wager.

>>17296668

You're getting a little meta there. And he didn't say the nature of the modifications, you've just assumed they are cybernetic in nature. I would be more inclined to think that they are administered via drugs, given the beakers and test tubes and stuff.

>>17296689
GETTING meta? Bro, I've been meta from the start
Mostly because I'm really, really bad at taking stuff at face-value.
I blame our education system

>>17296679
A thought occurs. Was there a faucet in the kitchenette? If so, we might want to see how far away we can hear that fucker dripping, because something is making me think we can hear better than before.

>>17296649

[It was/is completely in line with what someone in their late teens/early 20s should look like. Plus or minus personal opinions of appearance.]

>>17296689
Also, we've got several scars on our body, so I just assumed they were from the "augmentations", but I suppose they could be red herrings...
Scars inflicted by insanity, perhaps? Knives were available, after all..
Interesting

>>17296679

We took the ID card right? Can we hit up that security door now?

>>17296703

What if they were a result of the scientists "fixing" any "mutations" that might have occurred?

>>17296697
I agree, awesome idea.

Next, to the security door!

[People are flipping their shit so fast you'd think we were making flap-jacks. All it took was an empty building and a girl in trouble.]

>>17296697

Perhaps any changes that were made are more subtle than you realized.

A couple quick experiments with dripping water and echos yields nothing substantial.

>>17296728
Exactly. They might be completely irrelevant in terms of our augmentations. This wouldn't change much in our current situation, but it would mean there's something VERY strange going on. Mutations are already very out-there.

>>17296740
Yeah, no, it took the fact that you said it was a psych test/troll, and the fact that this kinda resembles Ruby Quest.
A lot.

>>17296731
>>17296707

When you return to the security door, you notice several bloody hand-prints on it.

Door opens right up, and then a low buzzing noise and smell of burnt hair.

You don't think it's going to shut anytime soon.

rolled 89 = 89

>>17296740
Biochemicals and regeneration are close buddies. We will try to cut ourselves, just a little bit, with the knife (after we are sure it is clean) and see our regeneration rate.
Then, try once more using our saliva at the wound.

>>17296750

[I'll be totally honest. Ruby Quest never even entered my mind until you said it.]

>>17296767

FOLLOW THE BLOOD

rolled 63 = 63

>>17296775
Maybe also move the knife near our genitals, heart and neck, to see if we have a self-protection auto system.

Remember, the notes used the word "tech".
It's not something commonly associated with biochemical engineering.

>>17296775
Good idea, but not now. Gotta check if it's safe first.


Take our yogurt.. AND EAT IT!

>>17296775

You give yourself a tiny nick with the knife.

You vaguely remember something to do with comics and mutations meaning fast healing.

Nothing obvious happens from this. At least you aren't bleeding much.

>>17296767

Uuuuummmmmmmmmm...

Okay, make sure we're ready for a fight.

>>17296791

The blood was on your side of the door.

And only on the door.

>>17296811

You grip your knife tighter, and hold the broom wearily.

>>17296804
First we have to know our capabilities. Try to punch the wall, not hard enough to break something though, be it our hand or the wall.

>>17296817
Mutations... it seems more likely they're tumors.
Do we feel any lumps?

>>17296824
We already know we can't punch through walls.

>>17296817

Alright, so following accomplished.

What's on the other side?

>>17296838
We do? Oh, excuse me then.

>>17296824

[That already happened]

>>17296827

[Not really]

Wasn't there a floor we skipped? If so I think we should check that out before moving forward.

>>17296850

More stairs, leading down.

>>17296859

Did we eat the yogurt yet?

>elaborate troll


silly op, trolling is an ascribed quality, not inherent.

>>17296868
[S] Descend

>>17296867
>>17296850

[consensus needed. go forward, or back-track].

>>17296870

[You had a cup of yogurt. We can assume you grabbed another one, but you haven't touched it yet.]

>>17296881
back-track.

>>17296881
Back-tracking seems... smart.
Listen, this thing? It can leave without making a trace. We saw NO blood around, and no obvious way out of the dead-guy-chamber.
This means the blood is here for a REASON
To make us leave the place with the killer

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

Actually, he might be double-meta.
Tricky.

>>17296905

Use yogurt as warpaint, then backtrack.

>>17296925
>>17296914
>>17296920

[Not to mention the fact that the only way in and out would involve passing within 20 feet of you. And you were definitely up and about an hour ago. So the plan is to go play hide and seek with an apparently invisible pychopathic killer instead of.... well, fleeing? Alright.]

You begin to head up the stairs, to the floor you skipped.

You think you hear something ahead of you...

>>17296965
Onwards! To glory!

>>17296965
Oh, I thought we awoke like, minutes ago.
And I didn't really pay attention to the layout of the hallways.
Still, there's a reason there's blood on the doors.
Now, we're nearsighted, yes? How far ahead do we hear this thing. If it's too far, we should probably just go through the door.

Do we recognize what the noise was?

>>17296965
Knife in one hand, science robes in left hand, ready to wrap that beast's head by tossing the cloak on it's eyes, then give it some punishment with this filthy knife!

>>17296991

Focusing on the sound, it's like a angry bull ripping through a china shop. Muted by several walls at the moment. It's a fair distance away, maybe on the other side of the floor.

>Still, there's a reason there's blood on the doors.

[The most obvious one being hands soaked in blood pressed against them, thus leaving behind bloody hand-prints.]

>>17297024
maybe it's time to go through the security door

>>17297024
...which would leave blood on the floor as well, seeing as blood isn't paint

>>17297024
>Focusing on the sound, it's like a angry bull ripping through a china shop.
Let's go down.

>>17297024

Horror movie logic, move towards the sounds.

>>17297045
>>17297031

You decide quickly that curiosity is what killed the cat, and decide to go back downstairs. As quietly as possible while running.

You make it as far as the second landing before you hear some hideous unearthly laughter somewhere up above.

>>17297033

[I'm well aware. You didn't think that detail was a bit odd?]

>>17297076
Oh yes the laughter. It means keep running.

>>17297076
Of course, which is why I kept pointing out that the blood was there for a re-

Are we fighting an orderly who only cleans floors or something?
Shit, are we fighting Ace?

>>17297076

Well, everyone dies sometime.

Brandish that knife bravely, and let us charge headlong into our doom! Let us not be shaken by fear, but keep our resolve and thus, our honour! TO DEATH, OR GLORY!

>>17297076
Keep moving down until we get to a new spot or see something unusual

>>17297076
I'm still trying to think what those burnt hairs are...
They're the one thing I'm truly stumped on

>>17297106
>>17297093

[The truth is better than that. And who's Ace?]

>>17297087

You manage to make it to the ground floor. Ahead of you, across the massive Foyer, you can see the exit.

>>17297129
Burnt hair obviously.

Let's go back, see if there's anything new.

>>17297129

[Have you never smelled a fried circuit-board before?]

>>17297179
I say we take a look around the foyer for any threats, then carefully open the exit and poke our head out.

>>17297186
HELLO
EXIT
RIGHT
THERE
I don't care if it's a red herring, GO FOR IT

>>17297191
Aaah, no, I haven't.

BUT THAT JUST RAISES EVEN MORE QUESTIONS

fuck it
exit

Flee.

>>17297199
>>17297223
>>17297249
You exit. You find yourself in a room with no windows, and no other door. There is a basic bed in the corner.

>>17297279

>>17297279
Search the bed. Under it, and also cut it open and see if there is anything hidden inside.

>>17297279
UNDER THE GOD DAMN BED, QUICK!

>>17297202

>BUT THAT JUST RAISES EVEN MORE QUESTIONS

[The fucking circuit board went out when you opened the door, locking it open. For fucks sake, you picked like the only thing without a double meaning.]

>>17297199
>>17297202
>>17297223

Looking around, you don't see or hear anything.

You run to the doors, and give them a soft tug.

Then a hard tug.

It's really stuck, maybe sealed. Perhaps you can find another Exit, you think to yourself, before-

A pair of arms wrap around you almost... sensuously.

"Hello Sister" A soft, husky voice breaths into your ear. "I see you found a way past the door. And now it looks like I can return the favor."

With that, she gestures with her hand at the double doors in front of you, and you seem to feel reality... shift.

The doors EXPLODE off their hinges.

"And now we can move on. So much potential locked up in this body, and all I had to play with were the dozen or so people locked in here with me. Imagine what fun the whole WORLD will be."

No laugh has ever sounded so beautiful, or so terrifying,

>>17297279
>>17297310

[Check the Tripcodes. This guys an imposter.]

>>17297310
Probably why I got stumped on it.

>>17297279
Should've gone all the way and cracked the trip

>>17297310
STAB HER
IN
THE
FACE

>>17297310
Backstab her while she's laughing. Time to use the "blinded by cloak" technique!

>>17297279
get outta here motherfucker.

>>17297310
Look at her first. Then decide whether to stab now or stab later.

>>17297310
Okay, so her augmentations work.
Now, we have to get ours working too.
Seeing as almost all records are gone, we could masquerade as an assistant when we get out.
Would probably have to flee to a different country though.
We're getting ahead of ourselves, though.

>>17297310
Don't kill her, ask her how she did it.

>>17297310
Let the paladin come out! For justice! For retribution!

>>17297321
This one looked similar enough to fool people temporarily and make a jokey reference to the first thread but I'm afraid I'm not enough of a dick to go to the effort of properly cracking it in order to do the same thing to this one and force him to use a secure trip.

>>17297334

Turning around, you see that she has close cut blonde hair, and ice blue eyes. She's also exactly you height.

From her appearance, she looks to be one of the other girls mentioned in the file 'Anna'.

You seem to recall an academic breakdown of how crazy she was. Obsessive, paranoid, manipulative, lustful, and sociopathic to name some of the highlights.

>>17297372
Gain her trust, get her to teach us how to use our own augmentations, then BACKSTAB HER!

>>17297367

[I appreciate it. I had to delete the first three attempts at this thread because of that bullshit.]

>>17297372
Internally swear to kill/neutralize her at earliest opportunity. But for now, we gather information.

"How did you do that?"

>>17297338
>>17297348
>>17297391

[What do you actually want to say?]

return Anna hugs!

>>17297372
Sounds like someone we should trust.

Ask her where we are and about our past. Say ae don't remember a thing and ask her if she made all the 'mess' in that office or if there's someone or something else in the building.

>>17297372
Tell her you don't remember a damn thing.

>>17297400

"Do what?" She asks, smiling sweetly.

Hands still loosely around your waist.

>>17297372
>>17297372
How did we manage to retain all that info from just taking a look at the files?
>Obsessive, paranoid, manipulative, lustful...
Remember these we might be able to outmanipulate her (or bribe her, or confuse her) if we later need to.
Anyway, she doesn't seem to want to hurt us, let's go trough the doors, don't let our guard down, especially with her.

>>17297412
The railroading has begun!

>>17297412
Say: you know exactly what I mean

Also ask why she's holding us like that.

>>17297409
>>17297407

"None of us remember much of anything sadly. We just sort of are. I like to think that the slate was wiped clean when we became so much better than we were. As for the old man... i was bored." She giggles and bites her lip, looking you over "You've got to tell me where you found that outfit though. i get the feeling that I should be slightly less naked than this on the outside."

>>17297412
Try to slip our hands to her hips but don't force it, then say: "That, with the doors and the explosion... or was it me?"

>>17297427

"No, I really don't. I've been doing so much lately. Locking the building down, killing the people who wanted to lock me up and play with me, keeping myself entertained while you threw of the sedative...." She looks contemplative for a moment. "Your eyes look so much more green and lovely now that your awake."

She sighs "I'm guessing you mean either the doors or the sneaking about. The doors... I don't know the how, i just can. As for the sneaking... I've had practice lately."

In response to your question about the holding, she pulls you in closer. Now all sort of your respective bits are being smooshed together, and she seems to find your discomfort endearing.

hug Anna, read note

Collapse into her arms, wracked with sobs of fear. Why are we here? What's with the scars? Who am I? You're not going to kill me, right?

>>17297478
'Hmmm maybe we can get a bit more intimate if you teach me some things'


This can only end in win.

>>17297445

She grins slightly wider when your arms wrap around her.

"The doors? That was me. We all can do that. Well, something anyway. The last one of us i met was a telepath. Poor dear went a little bonkers before i met her. She latched right onto me because i was the only one who cared.

>>17297502
"Well, I care."

>>17297510
rawwwwr

so did OP die or something?

>>17297502
It's working, we're getting some info out of her. Now, let's try to not push it.
"Do you know anything about me? I don't want to suddenly blew myself up... or worse. What about you? What's your name... sister?"
Guys, don't call her by her name, the most info we can get and the least they know we know the better.

>>17297479

[Note?]

>>17297492

She seems surprised by you sudden outburst and tries to comfort you, somewhat awkwardly.

"Hoo boy, lotsa questions i can't answer. I'm probably not gonna hurt you unless you give me reason to. You're like me, a sister brought here by circumstance. Who you were before... no idea. i don't know me either. Don't even know my name. The scars... are from cuts? I don't really know. You're here because you made a good target. Apparently, whoever we are we were the sort of people nobody cares about or would miss." She winces a little at her own choice of words. "Man, i suck at this comforting thing. Much better at the torture and the murder."

>>17297541

[No. it's just hard to type, read all responses, and post quickly. I'm doing my best.]

>>17297558
Shall we tell her, her name?

>>17297569
sorry about that OP,

This is just an awesome quest and I became impatiant

>>17297555

"I know you're here. I know that you don't have much in the way of power yet."

>>17297510

She smiles and gently strokes one side of your face with her hand. "That actually means a lo- oh."

She left a bloody streak down your face. Looking at her lack of anything to wipe with, she offers to lick it off.

>>17297599
Accept the offer.

Why not play along? It can only help.

>>17297598

[It cool]

>>17297577

[Up to you, really.]

>>17297558

Wipe the tears, breathe deep but don't let go just yet.

"I'm just so glad I'm not alone..."

Gently try to escape her hold, don't struggle too much if she resists.

"So what now? Shouldn't we get out of here or something? I've got to get to a doctor, I read something in the labs about going crazy within 24 hours, that's not much time!"

>>17297624
'If it means anything, my name's Katherine [that's right, right?] And your name's Anne [^^^^^] I read it in a lab upstairs.'

>>17297619

She does it slowly, and seems to take entirely too much pleasure in it.

>>17297625

She gives you a reassuring squeeze, and then stiffens at your mention of lab notes.

"You found something? Something about us? Why didn't you say something sooner?"

About a million emotions play across her face, ranging from shock to anger to confusion to a saddened betrayal.
