ReplyDeleteThat bastard tried to KILL me. He tried to fucking stab me!
ReplyDeleteRun file AFA
ReplyDeleteYes, activate the AFA. Do it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Amelia, who exactly tried to stab you? The virus? Superintendent?
I *really* don't think a virus can actually stab someone.
ReplyDeleteI think I've managed to get some progress on contacting Cerberus....or at the very least pissing off some of the people here who have been watching me.
ReplyDeleteWent for a walk last night and someone cracked me over the head with something. I think it was a crowbar. my Gordon Freeman wanna be told me to stay out of it or I'd get worse, and then ran.
Didn't try and rob me. Wasn't full of rage. just a simple 'drop it' message.
That somehow scares, and yet drives me forwards even more.
Rob, you haven't played Prototype, have you? ;D
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes I have. I'm trying to be genre savvy, but I'm not sure if I'm currently stuck in a tragedy, a horror, or a mindfuck story.
ReplyDeleteHas it occurred to anyone that ordering the activation of a completely unknown file might be a bad idea?
ReplyDeleteQuery: What does AFA do?
ReplyDeleteTrinity, that's been answered. It's not TOO hard to read 10 comments, is it?
ReplyDeleteHakurei, true, but... VIRUS is kind of... unintelligent. And said not to activate it. I doubt he is capable of reverse psychology. Also, the name seems promising.
Not the fucking virus. The bastard who died on the Solstice. He tried to stab me. Half fucking dead and he tried to fucking stab me. Fucking bastard.
ReplyDeleteInput accepted. Response: The AFA would find and assimilate [eliminate, integrate, reintegrate] all anomalies and possibly corruption present in the Reintegration Tablet's system.

ReplyDeleteFucking bastard. Fucking dumbass mask and the fucking sword...tried to fucking stab me.
ReplyDeleteAre you alright Amelia?
ReplyDeleteOh, hell yeah I'm alright, but that fucking bastard isn't, and if he weren't fucking dead he'd still be fucking dead because I'd fucking kill him. Fucking bastard.

...Or we could loose the war. Or y could get shot in the face by the Rake. You never know.
ReplyDeleteThe rake seems more the kind to maul you to death.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Rob. But you never know.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jacob, 'action' isn't a command. And you are horrible at trolling. We have bigger things to deal with than the likes of you.
Texas II, since you seem to be fixed now, I want to play a game.
ReplyDeleteWhat can you play?
Listing eight most recent routines.
ReplyDeleteThe Adventure of the Blue Wire
Chronicles of the Eighth Sage
The Giant Tomb of Tombocity
Cheese's Great Adventure
Why the Sky Isn't Blue
Fourth Quarter
It Used to Be A Tiny Tree
Diggy Diggy Hole to China
...... Holy crap those are amazing.
ReplyDeleteOk, describe 'Diggy Diggy Hole to China' for me.
In beginning to dig a hole through the world you encounter a large cave system.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteI look around.
You are obviously in a cave, but it is very dark. You cannot see anything besides your own hands. However, you have a rucksack that may contain useful items.
ReplyDeleteI check my rucksack, and my pockets.
ReplyDeleteThe rucksack contains:
ReplyDeleteA bundle of ten torches
Two boxes of matches, twenty each
A chocolate bar
Five flares
A 50-ft grappling hook
Your pockets contain:
An apple
A butterfly knife
I use the matches to light one of the torches. I carefully walk forward, not forgetting my stuff, and keep one hand on the pocket that contains the knife.
ReplyDeleteYou manage to get a pretty good idea of the main cave you are in. It is about 15 feet high and is 60 feet by 20 feet around the sides. Above you, there is a small tunnel that appears to wind around. It is the tunnel you fell in through.
ReplyDeleteThere are two passages leading west, one north, and one south. The eastern wall is a bright green and is squishy.
I walk up the the eastern wall, and hold my torch up to it.
ReplyDeleteIn a one-foot radius around the source of the flame, the wall turns a much darker green. You hear a bubbly purring noise, as one might expect from a cat made of Jell-O.
ReplyDeleteAgainst all my survival instincts, I move the torch closer to the wall, and begin walking along side it.
ReplyDeleteThe closer the warmth is to the wall, the darker the green gets. The purring noise continues, but other than that nothing new occurs as you walk up and down its length.
ReplyDeleteI jab my knife into a random portion of the wall, then jump back and run to the west.
ReplyDeleteYou run so far away you cannot see if it had any effect.
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY? Ok whatever. I go into the western entrance that's on the right. I keep a lookaout for any movements and forms of life.
ReplyDeleteThe tunnel quickly turns into a very windy one, but glowworms line the walls, making a soft hum that keeps you occupied during your journey. Eventually you come to an intersection with a signpost. The sign pointing forward says "Super Happy Fun Time," the sign pointing right says "Super Deadly Death Time," and the sign pointing the way you came says "Super Slimy Slime Time."
ReplyDelete...I go to where the Super Happy Fun Time sign is pointing.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as you can no longer see the intersection behind you, you enter a ballroom-sized cave with a huge, deep-looking ball pit in its center.
ReplyDeleteThat's scary.
ReplyDeleteI hastily make my way back to the Slimy room, and go into the other western passageway. I still look out for movement and any signs of life.
After only a few minutes of walking, you find yourself at another intersection. The sign pointing left says "Super Slimy Slime Time," the sign pointing right says "Super Happy Fun Time," and the sign pointing the way you came says "Super Deadly Death Time."
ReplyDeleteOK.
ReplyDeleteI briefly consider cutting open my throat with the butterfly knife, but then decide to go back to the room where I started, quickly run into the first west passage, then go towards where the 'Super Deadly Death Time' sign is pointing.
It feels as if you have been walking forever, but you find yourself in a room that looks suspiciously similar to the ball pit room, with three exceptions: 1) The pit is empty; 2) There seems to be a lot of heat rising rapidly from the pit; 3) There is a large hole in the ceiling that the heat is rising into.
ReplyDeleteI go towards the pit, and look up into the hole up top. I get ready to jump back, and draw my knife.
ReplyDeleteIf nothing attacks/surprises me from the top, i drop a lit flair into the pit below.
The flare is caught by the rushing heat and flung upwards. It disappears into the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteI wait about 5 minutes, waiting for something to happen.
At the three-minute mark, the heat dies down. You see a small red light fly downwards at high speeds. This lapse lasts about one minute. Afterwards, the flare rushes upwards again. It has died out.
ReplyDeleteI stick my head out again, and look both up and down.
ReplyDelete----
If nothing happens, or it is same as before, i go to the Happy room, and dive into the ballpit.
You dive into the ball pit. As you do, you smell burning plastic. You forgot to put out the torch. Oh well. It probably won't end up making anything bad happen.
ReplyDeleteYou sink among the multicolored spheres. After a time you touch the bottom.
Wow. Ok. Specific little AI.
ReplyDeleteOk, I move until I get to a wall, and then I circle the ball pit. Also, I put out my damn torch. If at any point I atart running out of air, I 'swim' back up to the surface.
The wall is mostly smooth, but you locate a small bump.
ReplyDeleteI press on the bumb. Hard.
ReplyDeleteThe bump is depressed, and slides into the wall. You cannot really see what is happening, but you are suddenly swept out an opening by the escaping plastic. You are now in a long stone hallway with wooden doors lining the sides. Plastic balls are scattered at your feet. It would be very hard to go back the way you came, but it would be possible if you left your rucksack here.
ReplyDeleteHell no, I like mt rucksack.
ReplyDeleteI light another torch, and walk to the first door and examine it. I then open it.
Inside is a quilted bed, a bookshelf with one or two small volumes on it, and a rock.
ReplyDeleteI check out the books, then move on to the rock. I hold my torch to it, so I can see it better, and pick it up, I examine it from all sides.
ReplyDeleteOne of the books is an "Asterix and Obelix" comic. The other is Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
ReplyDeleteThe rock has strange sigils inscribed on it.
I put the rock in my pocket and then ironically set my crap down next ot the bed, lie down, and flip through 'Common Sense.'
ReplyDeleteYou feel educated on matters of the eighteenth century. The rock vibrates gently.
ReplyDeleteI take the rock out an examine it as I get ready to leave the room.
ReplyDeleteThe rock stops vibrating, but feels warm. As you leave the room you notice an inscription on the door. It matches the largest symbol on the rock, and has a portrayal of a lightning bolt striking it.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Setoth when you need him?
ReplyDeleteErr.
Hmm.
...I rub the matching sigil onto the sigil on the door.
You slightly chip the wood of the door.
ReplyDeleteT.T
ReplyDeleteOut of pur rage at the thought of being sued for vandalims, I chuck the rock at the nearest wall.
pure*
ReplyDeletevandalism*
A deafening explosion knocks you to the floor, and a second one knocks you out. When you come to, you realize there was no explosion - just the sound. It is a thunderstone.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I pocket the stone... carefully...
ReplyDeleteI examine the hallway, and count the number of doors.
I then go to the second door, and examine it. Then, I go inside, and examine the insides.
There are exactly four doors on either side.
ReplyDeleteThe second door has a similar symbol on it, but instead of a lightning bolt it shows a raindrop. Inside the room, there is a full bookshelf and another rock on the floor.
I pick up the rock, then throw it outside.
ReplyDeleteUpon impact with the wall, water gushes out from the rock. In total it leaves about a gallon of water sprayed around the floor and walls before petering out. However, it then falls to the floor and, upon impact, spews another gallon of water. Your socks and shoes are now very wet.
ReplyDeleteCool. I pick up my rock, put it in my pocket pocket. I make sure it's a different one than the thunder rock.
ReplyDeleteThen, I go to the room, take off my shoes and socks, fasten a torch on the wall close to them, and leave them to dry. Then, I get on the bed, and read through the books on the shelf.
The flame burns long but not particularly hot. It takes a few hours to dry your garments, and in that time you manage to finish Romeo and Juliet.
ReplyDeleteCool.I put on my shoes/socks, gather up my stuff, and move on to the third door. Of course, I examine it, and the room itself.
ReplyDeleteThe third door has a similar symbol on it, but instead of a lightning bolt it shows a cloud-shape. Inside the room, the top and bottom shelves of the bookcase are full, and there is a rock on the floor.
ReplyDeleteYou know the drill.
ReplyDeleteOn the first hit, you and everything that's not nailed down begin to rise up from the ground. When the rock hits the floor, you fall and slam into the ground.
ReplyDeleteCool. I pocket the rock, and then repeat everything on the final door.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth door has a similar symbol on it, but instead of a lightning bolt it shows a star. Inside the room, the bottom shelf of the bookcase is full, and there is another rock on the floor.
ReplyDeleteI chuck the rock into the hallway, and brace myself.
ReplyDeleteThe wall moves a few feet closer to you. When it hits the floor, you feel yourself get a few feet closer to the luckily tall ceiling.
ReplyDeleteBADASS. I carefully put it in a pocket, then go to the first door on the left side of the hallway, and enter/examine errthing.
ReplyDeleteIt is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
ReplyDeleteI get the fuck outta there, and move on to the next door.
ReplyDeleteIt is very very bright. You can barely see anything.
ReplyDeleteI (don't) see..
ReplyDeleteWell, first, I want to save my game under username Zabulon and password **********
Saved.
ReplyDeleteOK, I go back to the dark room, and I use my water stone.
ReplyDeleteThe water begins to wash away the darkness, leaving streaks of light as if they were being erased from a whiteboard. After repeating this several times, the room is visible. It is a long hallway with a treasure chest at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteEven though it won't do me any good, I draw my knife, and carefully proceed towards the chest.
ReplyDeleteYou now stand in front of the chest. It is easy to see that it is locked, but there is an indentation in the front that would easily fit one of your rocks. The chest is marked with a symbol of a raindrop.
ReplyDeleteI insert the water rock into the indentation.
ReplyDeleteThe chest opens. Inside is a single copper piece.
ReplyDeleteHm. OK, I pick up and examine the piece, and then pocket it.
ReplyDeleteTaken. It has no designs on it, but is perfectly round.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, i use it on each of the stones. If nothing happens, I toss it against the wall.
ReplyDeleteThe coin clatters to the ground.
ReplyDeleteBoo. Whatever. I pocket it, and move to the next door. Before I open it, I save it under the same file again.
ReplyDeleteSaved. It is very very bright. You can barely see anything.
ReplyDeleteI use the thunder rock.
ReplyDeleteYou are nearly deafened: the sound of thunder is amplified by the room. However, as your ears start ringing, something shifts in your vision, and you can now see the room clearly. It is a long hallway with a treasure chest at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteI walk up to it, and examine it.
ReplyDeleteYou now stand in front of the chest. It is easy to see that it is locked, but there is an indentation in the front that would easily fit one of your rocks. The chest is marked with a symbol of a lightning bolt.
ReplyDeleteI put the lightning bolt stone into the chest hole.
ReplyDeleteThe chest opens. Inside is a single silver piece.
ReplyDeleteTablet, please send a shipment of cure to the Institute. They'll get it to me.
ReplyDeleteInput accepted. Response: A shipment will arrive at the Institute within twenty-four hours.
ReplyDeleteI take the piece and move on to the next door.
ReplyDeleteThe floor is broken up in wide chunks too large to jump across. Other than that, you can see that it is a similar hallway with a treasure chest at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteI use the wall-moving stone to get rid of the gaps.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the wall-moving stone does nothing and you barely grab it before it falls into the unending abyss.
ReplyDeleteI use my only other stone, the gravity stone.
ReplyDeleteYou begin to float slowly upwards.
ReplyDeleteI save3 the game under the same file, then attempt to float forward, towards the chest.
ReplyDeleteYou flail wildly in midair.
