I'm noticing it's dark goggles and wondering if TKing them off and hitting it with a light spell would disable it.

>>26999272
Shoot him before he spots us. Keep low and behind the doorway to block whatever force he's using.

Good idea, let's throw some TK in there to soften the blow too.

>>26999272
Just noticed something about the bioform. It's wearing a mask/goggles.

Maybe its eyes are sensitive to light? What if PB flashed her light at it, possibly saving her life/only getting her tossed against the wall?

Another thing: Maybe stuffing our ears with some gauze my help with the crippling noise it makes until we can get rid of whatever it's using to produce it. Someone already suggested not using TK around it, too.

NOT SPEARMINT

crazy board right now

What an annoying enemy.

time for a bump

>>27001458
This. Also punch it in the face.

This might be a moot attempt, but after we scream >>27002126 we should cover our ears with our hooves? Or if this is even feasible,(which I have no clue if it is) put a magic barrier around our head so the scream thing it does doesn't nearly make us pass out.

It took me nearly a day to realize this thread was up.

>>27005828
>we should cover our ears with our hooves
We'll be a bit busy for that.

>>27006020
Yeah I suppose...

I just figured we need some defense against that screech thing it does, we don't need Spear getting carried off.

Oh! We have gauze right? There should be enough of it to possibly plug our ears?

>>27006055
Nigga we ain't stopping to do anything right now.

>Suddenly you hear a loud squealing noise that make you feel like your ears are going to bleed. You feel a massive pressure on your skull as you fall to the floor and begin screaming in agony, you can see the hand in your mind and feel your horn being pulled by some unknown force.

Has anyone considered that it might not have been a real physical noise but instead some kind of psychic mind attack?

>>27006320
That actually does sound like it's more likely.

>>27006320
I was under the impression it was a psychic attack this whole time, he holds up his hand and does a force push kind of thing.

>>27006320
>as you fall to the floor and begin screaming in agony, you can see the hand in your mind
>you can see the hand in your mind
This supports the notion of it being some sort of psychic attack.

Another thing: He doesn't seem to be able to attack while doing the crippling noise thingy, I'm left to wonder what all he can do simultaneously. Or maybe he can attack and is just toying with us.

I have other theories but I feel I'm getting carried away.

>>27000710
Give chase to that screechy bastard.

>>27006632
No man, let those theories flow, we are in a tight spot here. Any ideas are helpful.

>>27007217

>>27007217
Well, alright. I'm just considering what we have to go by.

>>26999702
>the creature turns it's attention to you, and PB is thrown at you
She was on the floor before this, so call me a retard but I finally gathered that he's capable of telekinesis. The creature could be almost entirely psychic based. Just food for thought in case any of you know how to combat that kind of opponent.

Next, I know the colt said that he doesn't know of any weaknesses, yet I feel the need to ask him about his previous encounters with it or its kind. In the last thread he said:
>Just tell the queen that Twenty has moved to the kitchens on floor 22 quarter 3. I'll come back to life when he's done with me."
So perhaps this thing is from a colony, one of many. He might not know much about how to beat this thing, but I'm sure he knows something else crucial.

Regardless, this thing has Spearmint now. Even with these ideas I personally don't know what else to do besides blindly rushing after her. I haven't been this scared for her in a long time. I'm strongly hoping you all know what to do.

>>27008029
well, there's the plausible idea that he's really sensitive to light. we've only encountered him in very dark rooms so far.

grab PB's flashlight/radio combo thing on our way to pursue spearmint. maybe find a way to get these rooms lit.

>>27008163
Yea and to try and Tk those goggles off of it. We can cast a light spell if the flashlight takes too long to get to.

>This realization snaps you out of a blind rage and gives you a snap second to consider things. Photo Bomb was thrown at you without any of her stuff so it all must have been drop or have fallen off when she was being thrown around. in the other room. The area over the counter can be accessed through the room PB was in. and is about as large as the are behind this counter. The cieling on fire probably make the space in the dropped ceiling unbreathable but this also means that seen pieces of burning ceiling will begin falling.

What do you do?

>>27009058
Well, all sorts of shit just hit the fan. And the fan caught fire.

Ask the colt if he'll help us before unbinding him. Two pairs of hooves would help a lot more than one right now, but I'd like it if he didn't just abscond us to find the "queen" or whatever. He could put out the fire/get PB to safety while we go after Spear.

>>27009058
get the colt to drag photo out of the room while we jump the counter to go after spear.

Then try to remember the dream sequence we saw that thing in while i search the archive.

>>27009608
confirm what is casting this shadow.

Otherwise: solid ceiling that that door opens away from us so its good cover. the thing has a knife so we should be at the advantage. Slowly approach spear and see if we can rouse her while covering the room. If she cant walk, give her the gun and have her cover us while we pull.

>>27009634
I'd like to say that shadow is "The Phantom" but it's really just a lazy attempt to show the room getting filled with smoke and getting darker as the room sinks back away from the kitchen fire that's currently blazing.

I'm gonna pass out. Night all.

>>27009918
Well, I have another idea, since outright trying to kill him has almost proven costly. I don't want to lose Spear or PB if we can help it.

We should close our eyes and focus in on the sound. Think about the creature. Maybe we can communicate with him and find out what it is that he wants.

>>27009922
Nice trip dubs. Sleep tight sleepybath.

I wish we could throw a grenade at him.

>>27009918
Keep the gun on the doorway and drag Spear away.

beb

>>27009974
That sounds worth a try, we might as well. Let's do this while draging Spearmint away, back by PB and ceiling pony. I'm thinking retreating back is our best option.

As much as I'd love to take this thing out, this is an obvious trap. We only have 2(?) bullets left and now it has Spearmint's gun in addition to TK. Also shits on fire, yo.

Bath your doing a hell of a job, this quest is way more intense than it has any right to be.

>>27011162
Maybe we can get him trapped in there and set the room on fire or some such thing after we get Spear to safety.

bamp

>>27011619

>>27009974
Agree this has potential. If not...

We may not want to use up one of our bullets, but would .45 ammo pierce the door?

Not sure I remember how our light spell works--can we blast some light behind the door?

Also, perhaps slam the table we tipped into the door or otherwise use it to block the way, or use it as cover for you and Spearmint.

>>27009918
Also, on the wall to our left/picture's right: what dis? Could be window, but looks more like something hanging (whiteboard? corkboard?) If the latter, is it loose enough to be used by or against us?

Oh shit, and wait, if it's psionic it may not need to see/light may not matter at all. It wasn't specified that the thing even looked at us before doing its debilitating magic trick. So if it's crazy enough, the door could be a distraction and it could still be up in the smoky ceiling. What's that thing on the ceiling that newhorse/PB are headed right under?

>>27014254
>>27009634
Think about it.

>>27009918
I say listen in on the ringing noise too, but let him know you're going to and to keep an eye out.

Two unconscious mares in a burning room and this faggot runs off.

I want to verify the importance of the table moving on its own as well as what he's running from. I think the latter takes priority though, especially if he left PB for dead. Let's check that out first.

>>27017931
I'm pretty sure the creature was baricading itself in the room using it's psychic powers. I think going by the table would be a bad idea. My advice is to check our inventory and the area for anything flammable or explosive to keep this guy in there. Meanwhile watch out for that window. I got to go back to bed, just got up to pee, good luck everyone

>>27017931
Hmm, good point, we didn't hear a body hit the floor...did he take PB with him? Whatever the case, we should look behind us. Just a glance, check if the colt left PB and if anything else has changed.

>>27017884
Hmm.../feed/back, it was getting ready to butcher the colt, it set the dining table up... Ask if it's just hungry? Throw it an MRE!

Also we should be poking Spearmint continuously as we drag her. Pokepoke wake up dammit.

>>27018017
...it does look more like a window now, doesn't it? And it looks like it opened compared to the prior turn. We should check that out.

We do have a molotov-in-waiting in our jacket. Could use that to ward the door temporarily, but only if 'Twenty' doesn't interrupt our fire spell... Seems risky.

>>27018062
>we should be poking Spearmint continuously as we drag her. Pokepoke wake up dammit
please don't fucking do this. she's not sleeping, she's been knocked unconscious.

>>27018104
>she's not sleeping, she's been knocked unconscious.
And if everything was fine we could leave her be, but everything is not fine, and we already have to move her as it is, so attempting to wake her on the way with a poke to the kidney will do no additional harm, and if she wakes up and is coherent she can watch our back and/or help with PB.

>>27018098
Anon pls, it's the opening we jumped through.

>>27018190
If we're even going to try waking them up we should secure the immediate area. If we're still going with the idea that it's sensitive to light, that just means getting somewhere well lit.

>>27017884
Keep moving away towards the exit. Try to see if the colt dropped PB.

You can't run fast enough while carrying Spearmint or PB much less both of them.
>You hear the sound of a fire alarm erupt from the hallways.

What do you do?

>>27018284
Keep the gun on it. Throw it an MRE. If the table moves forwards we need to duck and roll it and then shoot.
Wasting shots when we can't see what we're shooting at is no good.

>>27018284
Lie PB and Spear beside each other. Looks like we're holding down the fort.

Spear may not have taught us combust, but she did teach us condense. Could we make enough water to counteract the fire's current progress on the ceiling?

Try talking to the bioform once more, pleading this time. We don't want to fight you, we just want to get out of here. Isn't that what you want too?

>>27018284
If we had to we could probably light the molotov with muzzle flash.

>>27018315
>wasting an MRE
The thing clearly doesn't want food, bro.

>>27018284
Maybe we can convince the bioform that we aren't worth the hassle. You know, point out that we're all gonna die in a fire if we don't skedaddle. Something like "in case you didn't notice, the room is on fire and soon we will be, too."

>>27018385
>I want to get away but lets not try giving it anything
That's stupid. We're losing. Give it something and hope to placate it.

>>27018284
Yeah, talk to it, plead/try to reason with it, toss it an MRE and see if it'll go away.

Wait, is the fire even spreading to this room? Is there a sprinkler system that might go off? If not, the fire alarm may attract firefighting robots.

Hopefully if it attacks we can manage the light spell, in case that is a weakness. Or if we can get to PB we can use her flashlight or camera flash.

It moved closer then stopped when we offered food.

>>27018425
It pushed the table towards us. It didn't move closer. Maybe it's behind the table and it's gonna pop out and be super spoopy, but I was under the impression that it's hiding in the darkness behind that door we couldn't shut before.

Shriek once for yes, twice for no?

>>27018448
I think it could be in either place, and we can't really know which.

It's a good point that even if it is hungry, it may only want fresh meat (or may find an MRE objectionable). We could always offer it some, uh, 'horse veal', as long as it agrees to leave our friends alone...

Of course, then we wouldn't be around to help them for an hour plus however long it takes to find/get back to them.

...you know we never did see it physically knock out Spearmint. Psychic shenaniganery?

Call out...Spearmint? Photo Bomb? ...Twenty?

Peek down the hallways and up the stairs, and see if anyhorse responds before deciding where to go.

Looks like we hit it with that shot, earlier. If it's not going to horribly murder us, we should probably have an apology ready for that.

Hallmark makes 'sorry for shooting you when I thought you were trying to murder my friend' cards, right?

Go towards the tentacles, I guess. Not much else we really CAN do, except maybe jump off that ledge.

if this ends in tentacle rape I swear to fucking god m8 I'll cut u up gud

Guess everyone was out late partying, it is Friday night after all

Hmm, we should check our inventory (which, since we're nekkid would basically be our mane), see if we've been given anything to use in this place.

Then I guess barring anything else unique, head toward the eldritch horror, but keep an eye out for any changes in the landscape.

>>27027564
This place is so surreal we almost have to be hallucinating or something.

crazy beb

>>27027564
Well, we basically lost the fight.

If Pepper dies it would suck, but we respawn. If Spear or PB die then I'll truly be upset.

We need to try to wake up.

>>27032953
PB dying would be upsetting, but not nearly as bad as Spearmint

PB's kinda an asshole

>>27033572
inb4 we get dragged off and eaten and Spearmint and PB both die in the fire. I would cry.

>>27033632
I don't care if we end up eaten, I just want our party to live.

No one's dying on our watch you fricks.

>>27033655
We told the creature it could eat us, and it locked us inside a psychic nightmare. We gon' die, m8

>>27033689
Nope. I don't hear no fat ladies.

Honestly, I'm not sure about the decision to run into the smoke and tentacles.

We do know there's a fire right there in the real world.

>>27027564
There something on the other side of the sky?

>>27033769
Hmm, maybe a good point. Also, tentacles.

Hey wait, there were hallways earlier, down the stairs. We should at least take a peek before offering ourselves to Cthulhu.

Actually this kinda reminds me of Hellraiser 2 now. Let's not run towards Leviathan right away--we don't even have a puzzle box.

She's been trying to do better, it's just that her snappy attitude's been replaced with frost cold reservation. So the problem still lies in the fact that she feels distant, but to a different extreme.

I've been looking out for them both equally. Issue is, I don't know what the fuck PB needs at this point. She doesn't trust us, and she doesn't trust herself.

Keep an eye on the freaky floaters. See if they ever 'dock' with ground structures, or interact with each other.

>>27038836
Or this. Be the DiCaprio.

If we have no power, I think stairs. We don't know if there's any other way into this 'structure', and it could be important (I mean, we should at least check inside one of the ground structures).

Might as well follow the voice.

>>27039233
Did it sound like _our_ voice exactly, or like Spearmint's?

I mean, either way we should go towards it, but be wary.

>>27039304
I mean, we and Spearmint are biologically identical

>>27039233
Follow the voice

>>27039360

I don't like just listening to the voice, but there isn't much to do at this point.

>>27039526
Wait, I'm confused. Is the new 'imposing' voice coming from the same place as MaybeSpearmint's? Or directly from the cloudacles?

Either way, call out down the tunnel, see if MaybeSpearmint responds. (If she says "yes it is me Spearmint and I am a perfectly normal pony", run away!)

Say "NO". This isn't real and you need to wake up. Scream until you do. Try at least.

We can try to just snap out of it, but I don't think that's gonna happen, just cautiously make your way forward.

>>27039712
Ask the voice down the stairs why it doesn't just come up to us. Also ask the voice in the distance who the hell it is, and why does it need us.

>>27039712
Plop your plot on the floor and groan. Ask why we should listen to either of them. Maybe the voices will debate each other, I dunno.

Tell them until we have a good reason to listen to either of them, our butt's staying put.

>>27039793
This. Sky Voice and Tunnel Voice need to esplain themselves, preferably.

Since she's talking, we should try asking Tunnel about Sky. Then if Sky is responsive at all, ask what it wants/needs, and ask it about Tunnel.

Seems to want something from you, and it also seems intelligent I think we need to get as much information we can out of it about the Queen ponies keep talking about as we can. Also, this might be our chance to actually make some sort of deal for Spear and PB's life. Also, I think we had a dream about this Twenty before we met him. Maybe he was reaching out to us before or trying to project himself into the minds of all of the ponies here. I don't know how much we should trust him, so we should try to find something that we can do for him that will give us some real leverage."

Or the ponies up here choose to call her queen. Either way, it's weird that she doesn't just fly out of here. it sounds like she's powerful so there's either something keeping her here, or she has chosen to stay in this awful place for some reason.

Will I be able to communicate with you in any way outside of this fancy dreamworld? Also, what's up with the sky octopus thing trying to seduce me into following it?

>>27060157
Why do we know about weapons and have combat-oriented skills? Why don't we seem to care much about pain and dying, when Spear does? Why are we the opposite of squeamish? Are we a part of a program to make really cute brainwashed tank-grown supersoldiers?

Do we know kung fu any extra magic or skills that could be helpful, now or later? Horn fencing or projectile acceleration? Can we cast Magic Missile at the darkness? Curaga? Time-stop? Shield spells? Summon Soft Drink? Quench Fire?

Do we know what that ringing was?

Since we don't know about the Queen, do we know anything about the Machines or the Corporation? Keywords or pass codes to get powered armor, laser guns, and lunch delivered to us? Is Spear right about not trusting the Machines? Do we know of any important locations within the building? Anything about manipulating building systems? How to mess with the regeneration system to add, remove, or change organisms, or activate the super-secret executive express elevator to the lobby/roof?

If we somehow make it to the roof, do we really think we can escape this building?

What do we not know that we do know that we should know?

"What do we know about piloting?"

"Do you know why we know as much as we do about weapons."
>"No, I only know as much about the intent of this facility, company and these experiments as you have learned by walking through here and reading things."
"What about why I seem to be less afraid of dying than Spearmint."
>"You know that's a lie! We both remember the pain as you got crushed to death, twice! That feeling of dead as as you feel the flesh give and our bones breaking. You know we can't let that happen to Spearmint again! She's had this happen to her more times than we know! ...and that accident that created us, might have taken her ability to come back. Loosing her is much more frightening and you know that."
"Do you think we have some greater potential for raw power that we might use to push us forward? Anything that maybe we could unlock to help us here and now?"
>"With what you've seen Spearmint do, you should know that her spells are strong... too strong actually. I'm pretty sure that means something but I don't know much more than you do about it."
"Do you know if Spearmint is okay."

"Is there a way I could speak with you outside of this world?"

What do you do?

>>27066677
If there's a possibility that Spearmint is out of the system, is there a possibility that we might get kicked out too?

Is it possible that as soon as we leave, the system will just make another clone that's trapped in the facility?

>>27066677
Can't really think of many more questions. Guess we'll just have to pay tentacles a visit next.

>>27066677
Is that...a pinto bean with our shadow? If you were a pinto bean, would ya eat yourself? I know I would! I'd be delicious!

>>27066740
Or if we die outside, we'll end up back here?

Yeah...I guess boop our pinto-Id, then maybe call up the stairs that we're coming up, before doing so. Ask Twenty if he's going to do terrible, uncouth things to us.

Depending on how fast it all goes, if he gives us a chance, we should apologize again for the shooting thing, and the setting his home on fire thing, and say he can do whatever he wants to us if our friends are unharmed... Gulp.

I mean, Spear told us that she got hurt badly before we met her so maybe it has something to do with that o maybe she found a spot in this place that was outside the sensors or maybe... I really don't have the answers but it's possible that leaving this place will leave a clone of yourself here in our absence, or we could die out there and just end up back here. Just as cold and just as alone as we were, but I don't know what we could do about that short of staying here forever or destroying this Hell...I'm sorry, sometimes I get angry."
>Your lip quivers as you think about Spearmint. She deserves better than this place but so far things haven't gotten any better. and leaving another clone without a Spearmint or even having to come back... This frightens you more than you'd like to admit. Collecting yourself you bring yourself back to a business oriented mindset.
"Are there any other Spells we know Like a barrier or a laser or something?"

>>27067632
Tell the truth.
Spearmint is our clone, we don't think she can be reborn anymore, since we took her spot.

The other is a pony from outside the facility. If she were to die it would truly be her death.

We alone can die and be reborn, please don't kill the others.

>>27067967
we want to leave, we're hoping theres a way out.

>>27067967
I wanted to escape this place with my friends.

... Might I ask what you want? What are your ends?

>>27067975
Sleep tight sleepybath.

>>27067967
A way out.

>>27067967
Hmm...so he plans to question the others (which means they're probably okay for the moment), and he might get pissy if our stories conflict too much. If we're telling the straight-up truth, we have to hope the others do something like the same, and also that he doesn't have anything against the idea of escaping this tower. The whole 'creators' thing makes me a little nervous.

But I guess the best thing would be to tell him the truth: we just want to get out of this madhouse. The Machines probably wouldn't help, but we've heard there may be a way out on the roof. We only learned about the existence of the Queen a short while ago, but I suppose we're just hoping to talk or sneak our way past her...does he know her?

>>27068573
Yeah, especially considering that it's Photo Bomb's cutie mark. Makes me wonder why exactly PB has been so reluctant to share her past with us, and what she may be hiding. Her presence here doesn't seem like quite the coincidence it did when we met her.

>>27068605
Hmm...I just read it as him questioning the fact that PB has a cutie mark at all. None of the bioform pones seem to.

"We're just trying to find a way out That's all we want to do. None of us want to be here.and I thought that the roof might be a better escape than the bottom."
>"And you believe that the Alicorn will let your leave through her ruined kingdom... Ha ha ha ha."
"I don't know, like I said we haven't met her. Honestly we've only started hearing about her recently on our way up. I mean I'm at least hoping that we can talk our way around her or sneak if we need to. I don't know why she would be a problem."
>"If what you say is true, you and that "queen" have very different goals."
"What about you? what do you want out of life? What ends are you working towards?"
>"What would I have for myself? I wish only to live and feed, the methods and location mean little to me child. Though I reject any who hope to restrain my wishes."
"So you reject all ponies?"
>"No, I refuse to respect the wishes of those who see me as a simple monster, to me they are prey. Where the creators saw me and a pet, I saw them as caretakers and refused to do tricks for them. With no caretakers prey are necessary. So prey I will have."
>The tentacles are closing around you. You are currently surrounded but not constricted. you can feel them brushing against you now and again, leaving a slimy discharge on you.

What do you do?

>>27075569
Try to stay calm and keep treating and speaking to him like a person.

Don't try to run away or do anything that implies that he's a monster. He may not like that.

>>27075569
So he is effectively a neutral party? What relationship does he have with that colt he captured? He was working for the Aliqueen wasn't he?

I guess the next move would be to ask him about why going up / seeing Aliqueen is bad. Going down is full of purge bots that are making their way up so we can't go that way.

>>27075636
I say we trust and follow him. He may not be the best, but he's the best of the worst.

>"As I have said. Her goals are not the same as your own as her goals also differ from mine. I do not speak for her so I cannot say what she would do, but I would warn you that this place is in it's current state for a reason."
>The tentacles begin to change in appearance, you begin to see more detail on them as they slither around you.
>"You have asked much and I have asked little. I have one more question for now before I leave your mind for the time being. What exactly did you mean when you said you would do anything to ensure the survival of your friends? What exactly are you willing to do for me?"

What do you do?

>>27076020
anything that keeps my friends out of harms way. As long as I can make it happen, I WILL make it happen.

>>27075569
Is that what the Queen treats him as, then? Just a monster? Or even less than that? That colt thought we worked for her...wanted us to report his location, like he's just an obstacle to be avoided or taken care of. Are her 'goals' just incompatible with him, or does she not even consider him worth trying to cooperate with?

And the creators/machines probably want nothing to do with him, because he won't do tricks for his dinner.

While it seems potentially tempting to try to ally with him, since the Queen doesn't like him, it's doubtful it would help us with getting by her, if we have to sweet-talk. Seems like a bad idea, at least long-term.

Does he just want food? We can tell him (as well as we can remember, or maybe he can pull it out of our memories) where that proto-alicorn was. Then proto-alicorn would have a 'purpose' again *shudder* ...actually hell, it might even be great for the proto-alicorn, if he could spend time in Twenty's psi-world between noms, instead of in his awful real-world body. It makes a horrible sort of sense.

Or does he really want 'prey', as in, he feels the need to hunt? We could tell him about that psycho pegasus. Bet they'd have lots of fun together.

Either way, if we can help him and it gets him further away from the Queen's territory, then we can tell her that and maybe win some brownie points. Seems win-win?

>>27076020
Damn, late to the last one.

Offer ourselves as food for the time being, if he wants, in exchange for our friends' safety.

Long-term, as per >>27076095 we could offer him the location of an easy, long-term willing food source, who might even see him as a blessing. Or the location of challenging prey who will always be trying its best to fight him.

>>27076112
The more I think about this, the more I'm like Twenty x 21-03 OTP. Best friendship/foodship ever.

>>27076112
Fuck no, we don't want to remind him that he's hungry and that we're apparently delicious.
>>27076095
This idea is good.
>>27076020
As the above anon suggested, mention the protocorn. Also, although I don't he'll take us up on the offer, we should invite him to tag along with us. Make it seem real friendly, y'know

also we're awake, just so you know. And what are you doing with PB? Oh, and nice goggles bruh

No doubt interrogating PB like he did us.

Just wait. Test rope strength, and hope our party doesn't lie. I'd rather not raise a hoof against this thing, not with our friends on the line.

>>27076386
Can we turn over, sit up, or something? Lying on a sore cheek sucks. Also gives us a chance to look around...and just what is that green thing on the ledge(?) above them? Also also is that a spider on the ceiling?

Can we see our stuff, or anything else around? We really don't want to piss off Twenty if only because he clearly outclasses us, but we should at least try to be aware of our surroundings in case something in PB or Spear's mind is no bueno.

Aaand we've only heard, like, one song on the radio, so let's get that stuck in our head while we wait.

And when she passes, each one she passes goes, “Aaah…”

That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes, “Aaah…”

How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly,

She looks straight ahead – not at he…

Well, yeah. Not that we want to die...dying sucks, and it would separate us for a while. But PB's only got one life, and so does Spear, probably--death is an inconvenience for us.

What did Twenty ask her? Did it seem like he's feeling...reasonable? Did she learn anything new?

Also, is that (some of?) our stuff on the table with us? If we can wake up Spear and Twenty isn't back yet, we could consider trying to free the two of them and just tell them to leave. Spearmint would probably protest, though...

>>27084864
Well, we can come back if we die; she can't. That makes the choice pretty clear.

Well fuck PB, there's nothing wrong with a desire for self-preservation. You have a life outside of the facility; of course you would want to survive so badly.

Might as well, seems dead tonight

>I don't have anyone close to me
"You do now. This is the part where I'd hug the crap out of you but..." show her our binds.

You've got to understand, Spear and I have stuck through this a bit longer than you have. We've bonded since we met, there wasn't always that feeling of sisterhood between us. That grew. And I'd be lying if I said you haven't grown on me... sister.

I'm not worried about whether you'd do for me what I'd do for you two. Just keep your chin up, or I'll do that myself when I hug you.

Eurgh, that ain't our style bro

>>27085526
Oh, I plainly understand. While I really do care about them both, and don't think reassurance are out of the question, that entire response was spur of the moment.

Just let her know that we get it. She only wants to escape like we do.

>>27085204
Nothing to be sorry for, Photo. You don't have to feel bad for wanting to live.

>>27085204
...a little pathetic, yeah. That's fine.

We can't speak to her life outside, or how and why she might be alone, but self-preservation is understandable. Maybe she's driven people off, or maybe she's just a survivor--we only know what she tells us. We don't know, but "survivor's guilt" is a thing...maybe she has something horrible in her past. But she had a noble goal in coming out here...while it hasn't gone too well, this house of horrors certainly needs to be exposed to the outside world.

And like we said, death doesn't mean the same thing to us. It's easy for us to be 'selfless' because we know we'll come back. And there's strength in numbers, so really, in the long term we're only being selfish by keeping our friends safe, right?

If the shit hits the fan, we can cast a fire spell at that sprinkler. I bet the alarm noise would at least temporarily incapacitate him.

>>27087962
We don't know a fire spell.

>>27087973
Oh, Spear does though, assuming she wakes up. Just putting that out threre in case we suddenly get desperate.

Actually, with that style of sprinkler I believe all it would take is a strong jolt to set it off. That's...assuming there's water in the system, of course. And it would not necessarily set off an audible alarm.

Soooo...meh?

>>27088517
Fair point.

We could get a bunch of water into the room. but I don't know if it would do much else.

It would be a temporary distraction at best, and he seems good at stopping us from using magic, so I doubt it would be too helpful.
