>Prayers: Be answered...... with a firm "No". It appears that God does not, in fact, love you. The thing outside seems very capable of speaking, a trait reserved either for the moderately clever or the legitimately sapient.
Well even if it IS intelligent it doesn't seem to be investigating this room at least for now. Maybe it thinks you ran further down the hallway instead of coming in here. It walks down the hallway, moaning in pain and uttering odd phrases to itself. From what you can tell, whatever it's saying it doesn't have anything to do with you.
You think you'll give it a few minutes before you run the exact opposite direction though. Just to make sure you're in the clear before you make your getaway. >CG?: Investigate the surroundings you find yourself hiding within. You appear to have stumbled into some sort of storage closet. You only managed to get inside because you remembered that your pants happen to have pockets. Checking those pockets you found a maintenance keycard which let you into this locked room. Thank the stars for critical thinking skills. The room itself seems to be host to various cabinets and a swath of miscellaneous cleaning supplies. Nothing that immediately stands out to you though, like a gun or something. Shame. >CG?: Rifle through cabinets with wild abandon. You set upon the course of action that would be obvious to anyone in your situation and begin checking through the cabinets in search of useful tools and artifacts. Most of the stuff here are minor replacement parts and unweaponizable tools, none of which would be particularly useful to you at this juncture. Just when you are about to give up the search, however, you stumble upon a somewhat interesting find. >CG?: Open up interesting find.  It seems to be a MOBILE TV. Within the box you find the namesake item alongside a headset to listen to the device with. Maybe you could get a signal out here and find out what's going on. You go ahead and take a seat while setting the TV up on top of the box. Not the most comfy seating arrangement, but you aren't really going to complain in your situation. You switch the TV on and set it to the first news channel you find. >CG?: Watch the news. ANCHOR: -ecent reports continue to stream in as the hours tick by, though sources indicate there is still a lot we don't know yet about the situation. ANCHOR: Sources say that although the asteroid was successfully hit with the counter-measure warheads put in place by the US, Russia, and China, various meteorite fragments continue to rain down globally. ANCHOR: While reports say that potential damage has been significantly lessened, astronomers remain baffled as to how we failed to see the asteroid so close to the earth. ANCHOR: Sources continue to report that NASA has still not yet given a statement as to how this transpired. ANCHOR: At any rate, governments globally continue to caution those travelling outside as the various meteorite fragments continue to rain down very sporadically. ANCHOR: Scientists warn that these variations are very uncharacteristically erratic, especially those of the larger meteorites. ANCHOR: That's all the time we have for this update for now and we will return when more information is available as this story develops. ANCHOR: Now we return to our second breaking news story within the last 24 hours regarding the radio silence of multiple small cities in the US and Europe. ==> ANCHOR: Reports from government officials remain vague on the current situation. ANCHOR: Military responses have been sent out to multiple townships and even one small city in the US alone but none are venturing answers for reporters at this time. ANCHOR: Speculation on the situation remains sparse, with theories ranging from coordinated terrorist efforts to spontaneous radio phenomenon interfering with communication lines. ANCHOR: The prevailing theory seems to be the former one, though that hasn't stopped some from providing various oddball answers to the situation. ANCHOR: Some claim that various cultist factions, particularly those of the Twin Devil Brother factions or the Apocrypha Harbingers, both which have been known to have violent tendencies in the past, may be responsible for the sudden drops in communication. ANCHOR: Others speculate that the recent meteorite landings have coincided with the loss of communications with these localities, though at this juncture we remain unable to verify these claims. ANCHOR: Though these both remain popular theories at this time it is important to maintain healthy levels of skepticism, especially tensions being so high with the recent near disaster we experienced with the LK-616F8 asteroid earlier yesterday night. ANCHOR: We urge our viewers at home to take a minute to take a moment's breath so that everything that's been happening recently can be adjusted to. ANCHOR: We remain with you in these crises and will continue to do our best reporting on these world events and ones like them to keep you updated. ANCHOR: LLC News will return after these sponsored messages. ==> Oh. |

>CG?: Try and remember what those two cults are that the news man was talking about, and how bad they are. Also if they could relate to Mister Monster Man. You doubt they have anything to do with the spooky boogeyman outside. Now that your memory is coming back to you, you're remembering more and more about the world you inhabit. The two cults they mentioned on the news have been around for decades. Preaching to everyone that the "end times were coming" and "we must repent to our gods for our sins" and other malarkey like that. One cult worshiped two brother gods while the other seems to be an offshoot of particularly far-off radical Christian groups, preaching the coming of the Harbingers of the Apocalypse while somehow rejecting both God and the Devil in their scriptures. You thought it was all a bunch of ridiculous nonsense until recently when they started to get more frantic with their evangelization routine. Recently there have been reports of minor scuffles and harassment incidents, but nothing on the scale that the news is reporting. Though you do find it odd that both of these cults were mentioned since they don't really affiliate with each other? Maybe they've both made public statements about the missing towns that you aren't aware of. Either way, it's pretty depressing, even if they probably aren't directly responsible. Just more bad layered onto an already troubling situation. You sulk a little next to the wall while you absorb the news report. >CG?: Realize you are... *Patriotic Screech* American. Ah yes, you could never forget your American heritage! Truly being a member of the most Democratic nation on earth is a privilege and a god-given right. You have never been so very very proud to exist in this great country. You may not be able to deliver the patriotic speech she deserves, but you do remove your cap while mentally reciting the Pledge of Allegiance even in lieu of a flag to pledge to. You don't even need one you think. Because really, America is something rooted deep in your heart. It is something intrinsic to your being and something that roots you as an individual. You think you shed a tear just contemplating this immutable fact. A patriotic tear. Really makes it seem like such as shame that the country is basically being bombed from orbit by what can only be a meteor with a deep-seated hate of democracy. Damn. >CG?: Listen for the abomination's footsteps. You put your ear up against the door to listen to see if the big lug is still outside. You don't really hear any footsteps though, just a wet crunching sound with an occasional tearing sound. Very ominous. >CG?: Take a lil' peek outside. You decide you might as well chance a peek outside. Whatever's out here doesn't sound like the big man on campus at any rate. ==>
 ==> Oh god you are so dead. |

>CG?: Slam that door before that thing decides do the same to you. Maybe... Maybe if you just close the door, the thing outside will just go away. ... Let's hope for the best. >CG?: Don't get ambushed at all whatsoever. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE LEAVE PLEASE LEAVE NO NO PLEASE LEAVE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHHGHHGHHGHGHHGHHGHHGHHHHH ==> ... ... ... Ok. >CG?: Is... is it still there? You don't know. You REALLY don't want to check. You're getting kind of scared standing next to this door though, but what choice do you ha- Wait who is talking out there? >CG?: Just give the door a little peak. Just a tiny one... Don't die. You're praying you don't die instantly upon cracking open this door. It's a big risk you're taking, but you just gotta do it. Otherwise, you risk spending the rest of your days living in a broom closet. ==> Huh? It seems the big man has returned. What's he doing? >CG?: What's he doing? It seems he is a little preoccupied right now... Maybe this is your chance! You just gotta be slick about it... |

>CG: Open the door slowly and steadily and RUN.  You think you might play it a little safer than that. You very carefully open the door just enough to squeeze through and begin a slow but very careful crawl away from the murder scene before you. If you're lucky you won't be spotted and turned into a red stain on the floor. At least that's what you hope. >CG: Begin fleeing the scene. Do dee do dee do! Nothing to see here! Nobody crawling on the floor in perpetual terror, no sirree! ==> Hey... he isn't seeing you! You think you might just make it! Nothing can stop you now! Nope! You're good! ==> >CG: Accept that you are a living magnet for terrible things. You wish it wasn't true. You just wish that you could exist in this physical plane without serving as a massive blaring beacon of strife and turmoil. That you could wake up in the morning and not get instantly sloshed in the face with fresh lamb's piss. But sadly it is true. You are a magnet for misery and there is nothing you can do about it. You turn around to take a look at the next roadblock to sweet precious freedom. >CG: Confront new aggressor. It seems your new aggressor is also an old one. And also one you thought was dead. You'll have to amend that heinously incorrect thought to "currently dying" instead. Drat. The world seems to be rife with unpleasant surprises today doesn't it? ==> >Possessed Corpse: Assess situation. ... >Possessed Corpse: Reassure new friend. ... >Possessed Corpse: Dig up a present for your new pal. ... >Possessed Corpse: Hand over new trinkets to your good ol' chum pal frienderino.
 ... >CG: Take present? THE WORLD SEEMS TO BE RIFE WITH UNPLEASANT SURPRISES TODAY DOESN'T IT??? You... you take the purple shards you guess? You really don't want to piss this thing off even though it looks to be on the verge of death. ==> Is... is it shushing you? Is that what's happening here? You are so fucking scared right now. ==> And it's dead. O.K. >CG: Contemplate life choices. What in the goddamn just happened. |

I realized only just now that I forgot to post an entire update. No clue how I managed that, but I did.
You're welcome.
The update is up now and I'll post the """new""" one from the mirror soon. See you then.

>CG: Re-awaken?
Ugh...
...where are you?
>CG: Try and make sense of your current situation.
You just feel awful right now.
You think you had one heck of a dream, though it's still pretty fuzzy.
Could it have been some kind of memory? You aren't sure...
Maybe...
Just maybe it was.
>CG: Are you missing anything after the crash?
Uh you don't think you are? At least not in terms of body parts.
Your baggage might be a different story though.
You think you might have dropped your bag before you passed out from massive motion sickness, but the memory is a little bit hazy right now.
==>
Oh yeah here it is.
It looks alright to you, at least from the outside.
Hopefully the insides are just as pristine.
==>
You better open it up so you can be su-
==>
==>
Ow ow ow ow
Aghh, no why does your head hurt again???
No you need to calm down and put out that fire-
URGH...
Your head is killing you...
>CG: Calm down, take a breath, and put out the fire.
Ok no, you're right.
You need to stabilize yourself and put out the bag before you burn to dea-
==>
>CG: What is even happening anymore man.
You are very unsettled by the apparent rapid descent of your mental state.
You are very confused, yet again.
(Plus the 9-01-18 Update)
>CG: Use your newfound universe-altering powers to get rich quick.
Could...
Could you truly have this power?
Is that why you are in such hallucinatory pain? You can bend reality to your will?
Maybe... maybe you should try it...
>CG: Try it.
You do it. Very easily in fact.
You bend the very fabric of reality to your whim and grant yourself a great horde of earthly riches and precious metals. No luxury is too extravagant for a man of your stature. It is all at your fingertips, only requiring that you exert the will and the desire to attain it.
You are at the pinnacle now. The forefront of greatness.
You have triumphed.
YOU WIN.
==>
Ok, no you don't actually do that.
You remain as sad and poor as you were before you had that weird train of thought. It seems that granting yourself great wealth is not something within the confines of your personal powerset.
How tragic.
>CG: Well what should you do then?
Maybe you'll go outside soon. Take point, you know?
You don't really know where you are anymore and it might be a good idea to gather your bearings after that very odd concussion-fueled, memory-like dream you experienced just moments ago.
You think you'll leave your bag where it is for now though. Just in case. |

>CG: Consider the possibilities. You ponder these possibilities. You question them very seriously. You.. you don't really know what you're pondering. OH! Right. A way out. >CG: Be optimistic! Surely a way out isn't that far away! You know what, you're right! You're sure you'll find a way out in the first place you look! You know what, you think you'll check the dresser drawers! Surely there must be something in there that you overlooked that could help you in your current struggle! Nowhere to go but up! ==> ==> ==> FUCK IT. NEVERMIND YOU GUESS YOU JUST SUCK THEN. >CG: Be peeved. Oh you are. You. Are. ==> PEEVED.
>CG: Is... is there anywhere else you might have missed something? YES OF COURSE. YOU ALMOST FORGOT TO CHECK THIS RANCID WORM CORPSE. HOW FOOLISH OF YOU. MAYBE IF YOU PRY OPEN THIS THING'S BLOODY MAW YOU WILL UNCOVER SOME HIDDEN CLUE THAT WILL OPEN A SECRET PASSAGE OUT OF THIS ETERNAL PRISON. WHAT'S THAT? NOTHING HERE? BUT HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN FORTUNE HAS SO OFTEN BEEN ON YOUR SIDE IN THESE TRYING TIMES??? THIS IS UNTHINKABLE! >CG: What if you tried busting your way out again? Except do it right this time. YOU KNOW WHAT SURE. YOU'LL JUST PRY THIS BAR OFF THE WALL AND POUND ON THE SIDE OF THIS BUNKER UNTIL IT GIVES IN TO YOUR UNRELENTING WILL. IT CANNOT POSSIBLY WITHSTAND THE SHEER POWER YOU WIELD. YOU'LL JUST CLIMB UP HERE AND GIVE THIS LOOSE LADDER STEP A GOOD TU- ==> -oof >CG: Please don't loose consciousness. Not again. It just isn't healthy. Yeah... Yeah sure... You'll stay conscious. You'll just stay on the floor for a little bit and uh... Just rest a little you guess. >Please please don't pass out. It is too late. You have already been passed out for like 45 minutes. But maybe that will change in but a moment! |

>Short guy: Assess your current threats. If you're going to go back out into that unforgiving wilderness you're going to need to be sure of who your enemies are. You suppose the wildlife is one thing to look out for, though you haven't encountered anything capable of putting up that much of a fight so far.
Maybe the sentient threats are the ones you should be focusing on right now.
Well obviously the people who just slipped your grasp are priority number one. They know you're against them so it would be wise to assume they're not too fond of you in turn. That's just how things go. At any rate they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with so long as they don't pull any surprises on you. The other thing to look out for though...
That big fat wretch is basically something you are in no position to take on. It would be stupid of you to think that would even be remotely possible. Especially since it has a crown you guess??? What a waste of perfectly good jewelry. If it shows up you're gonna have to book it like you did last time and pray to whatever god you believe in that you make it out alright.
Those are all the threats you can think of right now. If anything else shows up you'll just have to improvise. >Short guy: Scurry up the hole using your tiny dwarf legs.
You climb up the ladder like a normal fucking human being.
You ARE NOT that short.
>Short guy: Equip knife for safety purposes?
Hrm...
No.
Your knife is good and all but it isn't going to give you the edge you need right now. You're gonna have to go for something with a bit more *threat* to it.
>Short guy: Embark.
Time to go crown hunting again.
>CG: How you holding up?
You're feeling pretty shitty, you're not gonna lie.
>CG: What else is there to do within this concrete prison?
There is nothing to do in these confines other than mope and regret everything.
You've been leaning on this cabinet trying to think of a way out of here for a while now, but nothing's come to you yet. How depressing.
>CG: You want to try REMEMBERING to pass the time?
Maybe you could do that. It would beat just sitting around here.
For that you're going to need to concentrate though. Focus on a very hazy image of your past. it will require your upmost attention and concentration.
You aren't even entirely sure you'll be able to do it. But you'll damn sure try if it means maybe getting answers.
>CG: REMEMBER SOME MORE.
You...
YOU...
YOU'RE REMEMBERIIIIIIING!!!!!
==>
Oh god oh fuck.
>CG?: What's got you so worked u-
HRK
>CG?: Examine the damage.
You are so surprised you aren't dead right now.
>CG?: So uh... are you still in a fight or something?
uh...
==>
==> You would say so, yes.
>CG: This seems like a bad time. Why not try going back further, to your childhood?
You are unsure how, but you have managed to place yourself in a very precarious situation...
Maybe it would be better if you could simply escape this dangerous encounter by retreating to a much safer point in time! You'll give it a shot.
==>
!!!
==>
You recall a familiar time.
A simpler time.
And most definitely a safer time.
You recall playing with your many toys as a mere youth. The carpet was your landscape, the shitty plastic dinosaurs your wild spawn. It is an invigorating session of play, you will say.
==>
But what is this you see looking at you from the horizon at the door to your room?
What entity approaches? [/center][/span][/span][/div][/span]
==>
You see a familiar face. A friendly face.
==>
The smile of your mother is enough to bring a smile to you.
You stop playing with your toys for a moment so that you can stand up and give your mom a great big hug. You love her and there is little you can think of that would get in the way of you showing her such.
==>
ah shit
==>
It seems that in the process of reminiscing about the past, you seem to have made a fatal flaw:
Time does not stand still when you sit on the ground vacantly staring at the sky while thinking of your long since passed childhood. You, like everyone else, are bound to the laws of time which govern your middle-aged existence.
Your mistake. |

You decide you have been flying for long enough.
You'll just land here.==>
Boy does everything you got in you hurt like the dickens.>CG?: Is... is your mouth OK?
Hold that thought.==>
You spit out a tooth.
Well now you need to figure out what's going on here AND go to the dentist.
You... you aren't sure your insurance can cover both, really.>CG?: Where did you get punched to? Next week?
No no, you're still in the current week.
...whatever week this is anyways.
You seem to have been punched quite a ways away from where you were originally though. You'll need a second to get your bearings. And to rub the blood from your mouth.>CG?: What's that square thingy behind you?
You take a look at the large square thing mounted on the wall before you. It appears to be a MAP of the floor.
Apparently you're on Maintenance Shaft 03, specifically where the up and down arrows are located. The entire floor seems to loop in on itself, like a big oval or ellipse or something. You can't really say for certain how far it loops though. Probably longer than the map makes it out to be though considering you remember it taking a while to walk from one landmark to the next.
You take note of the most interesting things on the map.
There is a SECURITY OFFICE to the left corridor.
To the right is the CUSTODIAN CLOSET which you figure is where you were a few minutes ago.
On the exact opposite side of the floor seems to be the FUSEBOX where you started.
Additionally there seem to be some small squares and rectangles lining the floor walls. They're probably things like the vents you saw earlier.
Directly to the left of you is "ELV - All Floors". Whatever that means.>CG?: Wait... did... did that big guy punch you so hard you looped the entire way around the corridor to where you are THE LONG WAY without you hitting the ground till right now???
You...
You really don't want to think about the physics behind that kind of punch.
You think you might have to see a doctor after this. Assuming your head doesn't spontaneously explode from catching up with the sheer force of the punch you were just dealt.>CG?: So... what does ELV mean?
Oh well that's obvious!
It means...
Uh...
It means...
Hrm. Ok well... it...
You aren't actually sure.>CG?: Oh come on man it's super obvious. Please stop being dumb.
OH OF COURSE IT IS ALL COMING TO YOU NOW.
ELV was one of the fuse names you saw earlier! AND it is the one you happened to leave a fuse in! Whatever it is supposed to power IS powered thanks to you! You suppose now you'll take a look at what this thingamajig does!>CG?: But wait! What about the security office?! Don't you want to check that out first?!?
You seriously don't give a shit about that at all.
You're leaving right now. |
