dude what? I'm important enough to help? That's cool. Mostly, the immediate problem is DickBot trying to kill me.

Query: Does the DickBot actually have a dick, and if so how would I gain access to it

Uh... riiiiight. If your a God then could you smite the robot trying to kill me.

I am not sure you should trust David, listen to his advice for now but try not to get too close to this guy. Well any closer than a voice in your head can get.

David huffs, more in a mocking manner than in a condescending one.

You sure have more balls than I imagined, shorty; but that doesn't mean shit right now.

Anyway, being in the Tetralayer, which is the only place in the Octogonal Dozen where iterations of Earth or any reality which contains humans, makes shit much more easier for both of us.

And way easier if only I knew which one of the doors in this place has the right Earth. I would know if I had access to the main computer in this office I'm in...

Some silence.

But I kinda broke it. It was an accident, though! Got into a fight and....yeah. So we'll have to search it for ourselves; I can tag along.

>>613643

>dude what? I'm important enough to help? That's cool. Mostly, the immediate problem is DickBot trying to kill me.

David sighs.

Look, I'm only trying to help you out because you're a human.

I like humans. They do all kinds of shit that don't amount to fucking anything. But that's not all, too: I have something I need to do only on Earth, so why not take you along as I search? Could be fun while it lasted.

Ah, about the robot, it's a GOD SLAYING MACHINE. They use these to control people like me; so I don't think it'd be really really wise for me to try to kill it; or it'll pulverize me. It'd take a load of time for my body to reform and we don't want that!

...Thinking about it, I think that if I send it some orders from the main computer, it'll stop attacking you... But it's fucking broken because I'm such a genius.

Can't you hold it off while I try to get the main computer working again?

so you called me to help, only to tell me that you can't help, and that I should just keep doing what I was doing before, which is running away so I don't see what my insides look like on the outside and doing so will force slug hat back there to keep looking for me and not you? ... So why'd you even bother calling me when all you had to say was "keep doing what you're doing"?

David clears his throat.

H-hey, I'm trying my best here! I even got into danger getting into this place full of GOD SLAYING MACHINEs and their boss just to get the acess to Earth! I...I just fucked it upa little, okay?

And I doubt you knew that this is the place that gets Earth in storage, right? Some species do have theories about an Artifial Multiverse, but humans don't have a clue. I should know, I was-- no, fuck it.

He pauses for a second, then sighs heavily.

I'll try to get this shit fixed and if I do I'll to contact you again; assuming you're not dead. So we can both go to Earth and do our things.

right well, I'm going to try my best not to get murdered horribly then. Good talk.

speaking of dying is blue boy still behind you?

What does he have to do on earth? Somethings fishy about this

I've heard theories of artificial universes, and theories of multiverses. I guess it makes sense that if someone has one artificial universe, they'd make more. Though 'Earth in storage' is interesting. It implies something that's "non-storage", which I guess would be actively worked on or created?

GOD SLAYING MACHINE, do they serve double function as an anti-virus, or do gods have a habit of pretending to be someone to get things done? Seems a bit foolish to ask about Tetra-layers, since that seems to be knowledge that would require knowing that the artificial multiverse is even a thing. I guess that's why there was the whole 'permission to shoot' thing. Presumably this is granted via someone working at the main computer.

David is most likely the one who got you the security card via JUNO. Since it seems he wants to help.

He also seems to have implied that he might have at one point been looking through a lot of humans? Or been one? It's more likely that he's looked did some research on humans, though.

Clive tries to say this to David, but the other does not respond. He's either ignoring Clive or, more probably, shut off his communication channel with him.

>speaking of dying is blue boy still behind you?

It is: Clive can hear the whirring and high-pitched cracking noises coming from βBLUE. It seems to be struggling to move, since the sounds of crunching metal have not exactly ceased.

Maybe the caustic mucus from the slug like creature has settled in; and damaged βBLUE.

There is a door with a red symbol on it; and a corredor to Clive's actual left.

well red door seems to be in Blue boys line of sight so maybe head left for now.

Sounds good.

Clive passes right through the ornate door, which seems to faintly glow pink as Clive goes past it; and right into another curve to yet another corredor.

Geez, how many corridor does this place even have?

There is a faint light coming from below the door labeled "Obs.".

Suddenly, the door with the light below it slides open; and a hand with an orange wristband pops out, beckoning Clive to come in.

"Hey

Come on in, shorty."

The voice sounds very, very familiar.

>>617401
Sounds like the guy you just talked to.

I say go on in.

I wouldn't go in there if I were you, so either you head in there or you pass it. Either way this place is so dangerous, it's kinda crazy!

Well this guy has been helping you.

'Obs' probably stands for 'Observation'.

I'd just be prepared to see something unpleasant. He's probably not supposed to be here. Just like you might not be.

Besides, this is most likely the best place to hide from the death machine. If you pass it up you might not be able to find another door that opens anytime soon. And being in a corridor out in the open doesn't sound like a great idea if the death machine catches up to you.

take a peek but be ready to quickly unpeek into cover.

What cover?

Anyway, Clive rushes towards the door. A young man pokes his head out. He looks slightly unnerved.

"I managed to get the power running, but just in this one room. I came to take a gander and then--"

He takes a quick look at the blue glow behind Clive.

"J-just come in, I can close the door and try to protect us from the fire!"

Clive feels a surge of extremely hot air behind him as he gets pulled.

The smell of burning hair fills the corridor.

Clive's hair was not TOO damaged. It's still long, but some inches less long than before.

David quickly closes the door pressing a button next to it on the wall. He hesitates for a second before pointing forward.

"Just check this out.

This is what I was looking for."

He just saved your life. Now kiss.

Then ask what that is.

"maintenance", "unfinished"... is this an administration room?

Clive doesn't think this is a very good idea! He's a guy he has JUST met, and is also a guy. This might not end well!

Maybe when you're better acquainted!

No need to be uptight here. Loose lips will launch ships.

>>617793
Hey, check out your shoulder in this light. Is that blood, or some sort of black fluid?

Whatever it is you have in your stump it's not blood.

Clive snaps out of it and looks down at his stump. A thick, sticky back fluid is oozing from his stumped arm. It is slightly thicker than blood, now that Clive thinks about it. It smells just like regular blood; but mixed with a strong wooden fragrance along with it.

>>617778
>>617820

>"maintenance", "unfinished"... is this an administration room?

"Kind of... Well, not really: the main room is next to this one. I came from there to check this room out."

"Then what is it?"

"It's a private room only for the ones invited by the SEER; and this machine is the thing that can tell us where your home is inside this Layer.

"

David approaches the giant machine, grinning.

"...And one of these places is your home."

>>617942

"I'm sort of gushing, uh. Stuff. It's not blood. Help?"

So your a god, is your blood black too or is there something wrong with clive? Also why are you so interested in where clive lives?

How rude! Clive's apparent lack of a nose is the product of this very storyteller's artistic preferences: it is there, just not visible for aesthetic purposes.

For reasons of preserving the fourth wall, this message has not been passed to our protagonist.

Now, continuing:

"I'm sort of gushing, uh. Stuff. It's not blood. Help?"

David takes a brief look at his right hand; still stained with Clive's "blood" from when he pulled him inside the room. He shrugs.

"I have the feeling I've seen something like this before, but I don't recall where..."

"So you're a God, is your blood black too or is there something wrong with me..?"

"Gods bleed depending on the speies their physical bodies are. I chose to have the body of a human: so I bleed red like one. This has nothing to do with Gods, I'm afraid."

He does not seem very interested in this line of conversation.

>examine and fiddle with the machines.

Clive steps forward to touch the giant contraption; but does not really know where to begin. There are only screens in the room: and nothing that suggests a more obvious input method. It could be made of touch screens, but the glass screens seem rather thick for that purpose.


A series of sounds of metal crunching into metal can be heard from the back of the room.

David does not seem to care.

"Don't worry.

Let them come."

uh, well then if you have something planned there's no time like the present to show off said plan.

Want to clue us in on your little plan, because according to you those are god slaying robots outside. Is there something in this room that can be used to defend ourselves?

"Want to clue me in on your little plan, because according to you those are god slaying robots outside. Is there something in this room that can be used to defend ourselves?"

David does not respond for a small while, seemingly thoughtful; and then turns back at Clive.

The screens flash brightly, forming a series of rather puzzling images over a glitchy background.

"There's me. Does that count? I can hold them off in here, sicne we're in a closed space. I just didn't wanna get surrounded by them in a corridor and get shot at by all directions...Ah, they're coming. Hold on."

David sighs as the force pushing against the door seems to grow heavier, and a gap starts to form on its surface.

He snaps his fingers; and his pupils turn white.

Ok we'll be sure to do that, as soon as we save ourselves! Tell David if he plans on doing anything do it now!

Clive! inquire into getting a brand new arm soon. Something Winter Soldier tier!
