Short recap: You accidentally stole your old roommate's identity and got released from jail.

Also, I'd like to apologize for the many inconsistencies that have happened so far and will most likely continue to happen, such as a deaf character being able to hear a door knock. With that, let's begin.

Alena Belyakov, formerly 606. You're filling up 607's position now. One of the benefits of working in a massive megacorp is that IDs are cleared out routinely and that no one pays attention to who's who, as long as you get the job done. This is your fifth time and third corporation, and likely not your last combination.

For good measure, you're changing your appearance. This should get the commies off your back if you do it well enough. You dye your blonde hair brown, both to honor your old roommate and to make it harder for the infiltrators to find you. It probably won't be enough, but it's better than nothing.

Emotions? Feelings? Loneliness? Casual sex? What the hell are you talking about? You noticed that grey uniform #13 is gone. Not only that, but the window's open.

That's right... the guards said something about the "real" 606 escaping. You did see two fascist agents running down the hallway being chased by Bull. One of them took a grey shirt off while the second was putting unconscious guards in compromising positions.

Could that grey shirt be grey uniform #13? You didn't get a close look at the ground in the rush between one-sided gunfight and abandoning 203. But more importantly, why did two fascists specifically target your room and identity?

Dragging a chair around would be calling attention. Just because you wouldn't be able to hear its scraping doesn't mean they won't.

You grab the only available seat. You roll up your sleeve and activate your pager's automatic transcription. It's far from perfect, but you have little choice.

OP, can you try to keep the pace going better? You have a lot of updates where we don't know what to do other than wait for stuff to happen. I know it's also on us to move the story along and inspire wacky shit too, like we could've said to turn on the projector and participate in the meeting or make shadow puppets or something. I don't know, but try to be more proactive when we're not?

Anyways, thanks for the thread! It's always fun when I catch it.
>>
I missed it?

Well, nothing much happened this time.
>>
>>33788672
I really do need to work on pacing and moving the story along by itself. I tried to do that here too, and will continue working on it. But just because it's taking a long time doesn't always mean I'm waiting. It's usually drawing or changing up music.

But yeah, that doesn't change the main problem: I apparently have trouble moving the plot forward and pacing anything. I suppose I'll look at guides on the internet for better Quest writing.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, and it's nice to know people like it!

>>33788678
On the nearly random nights I pick (Saturday is the only one I can half-promise usually), I start at around 11 or 10:30 Eastern US time.

>>33788780
I've followed the quest from the beginning.

Not giving us options for what we can do can inspire creativity, but it can also make us meander quite a bit. Many QMs will give several possibly avenues of action at the ends of their posts. It can help move things along, or show us things we can do that we might not have considered.

I've noticed you do also tend to respond to many posts with in character comments, but the posts don't necessarily have an influence on the character's actions. The comments are entertaining, but it seems like you're squandering input.
>>
>>33789081
I don't think it's squandering to choose what you want to write and draw. The alternative is to try to be as accommodating as possible and use every suggestion that isn't bumfuck stupid, but I think it get's in the way of good updates.
>>
Think we could double up on this thread again? It's pretty short.
>>
>>33792698
That might be best.

>>33789081
>>33789247
On the comments, I try to use them to hint at a sort of back-story, such as the Great War, 607's identity, and the society in general. Otherwise, it's for comedic value. If it is annoying, I'll try to keep the comedic ones on the down low.

I'm considering putting sort of indirect choices, like hints. Sort of like... I'm not sure. I'll go check out some other quests and see what works and what doesn't.

People like to look out windows when they think. It's fact of human existence and cinematography. You find, to your surprise, several fascists on the new plexiglass.

One of them didn't appear to know that the glass was bulletproof, and tried to kick his way in. The glass tipped over into the room with him sticking to it.

His chin looks a little too far up for a kick. You do smash the potted plant on him though. You miss his visor, but it looks like you knocked him out. You don't know why you aimed for the visor, but there's more important matters to be dealt with.

The ninja pats you on the shoulder. "I'm making good time. If they started shooting us, that meant they already loaded their next brainwashing victims. Where are the hostages being kept?"
"Listen here, Renaissance man, I didn't even know there was a goddamn siege going on a few minutes ago. How would I know where they're keeping the dudes?"

Now that you think about it, one of the hostages might be your brother. Mom would probably get mad at you if you left him to die. Still, this ninja doesn't seem like the best drinking partner. You could just go home and type up a lawsuit against the Fascist Freedom Fighters later.
