Because the cat hanging is naked, and Ash is a cat. Thus, it is all sorts of awkward.

Still, explore, leave the room, investigate, go to other parts of this building, find people, etc. etc.

>no cell phone charger
Is it a weird proprietary one? If you're lucky whoever lives here will have a compatible one and you could charge up a little.

There might also be a lan line you could use.

>what do
I would be rude to leave without saying thank you, or a note or anything, anyways.

There might be someone in the house to help you / talk to, or maybe a medicine cabinet so you could take something for your headache.

>>794880
Note for later: Obtain a pair of pumps

You don't hear anything coming from the other side, right?

I recommend to knock on the door first, just so if they there, they know you are coming.

...Huh.






For some reason I'm kind of underwhelmed.

Examine creepy portrait

>>795035
Call out. We ain't got time to explore the whole place looking for someone.

It must be because your emotional status display is gone. You've temporarily lost the ability to feel anything! Quick! Panic at your inability to panic!

Open all the doors.

>>795035
Yeah, weird how they have stairs going down to a big indoor tarmac that takes up most of the room.

Continue exploring, calling out, trying to find someone/something, opening doors, investigating things, examining things. We shouldn't need to handhold you through this. You're a clever girl that woke up in a strange but not threatening situation, do what comes naturally; explore.

That sofa looks comfortable... but does it live up to its expectations?

Also, what do you think of those paintings?

Check the couch cushions for pocket change/anything else

Yeesh. Creepy is right. That expression he's wearing... He looks like he's seen some shit.

>>809900
that or "UUughhh... Cameras"

>>809904
Or maybe he just met Excalibur from Soul Eater and is making that face? XD

>>809900
So it's a bad picture. Be nice, you're still a guest here.

>>809900
well, it is either what you said, or he was blinking while he was being photographed. (or maybe yawning)

Which makes it more interesting that they got it framed. Try tweaking it to reveal a secret doorway.

Liz: "...I thought I heard someone moving."
Ash: "..."
Liz: "..."
Ash: "..."
Liz: "..."
Ash: "...How long was I out?"
Liz: "3 months."
Ash: "Oh."

>"3 months."
Really? Um, geeze. Why am I in your house and not a hospital or something? Long term care of a coma patient can't be easy!

Realize this person has been feeding and cleaning your unconscious body for months.

>>810141
Tell Liz it's good to see she survived, and apologize for not having the energy to rush her to the hospital. Though I guess you saved her life anyway by killing the monster much earlier than it would otherwise have been defeated.

Zap her with the RCD to prove she's real.

She's joking, right? Because if she is not... We are so fired right now.

Thank her for helping you, and ask her what has been going on since you fell unconscious.

How does that even work?
How did you like... eat and.. pee and stuff.
This doesn't look like a hospital. You weren't connected to any IV's.

Ash: "Wait. If I was out for 3 months, how the fuck did I not, I dunno, die?"

Liz: "You're going to have to ask Cliffy about that. He told me it was 'something I wouldn't understand' before marching off into another one of his hidden doorways."

Liz: "Honestly, I thought you were gonna die!"

Liz: "Which would suck, because I never got to thank you! For saving my life and/or my friends' lives, and all that."

Liz: "Thanks, by the way. I'm...grateful. Really."

Liz: "Though, on that same note, one would suspect that someone who can instantly create an object about a million times larger than themselves wouldn't have to worry about dying of natural causes, so I suppose that would be a contributing factor."

Liz: "Speaking of which, weren't you green before?"

Uh, help, I don't know how to respond to this. I had hoped that I wouldn't run into a situation like this.

I was overly happy.

That's all that needs to be said.

Go for the dramatic; say that you'd like to keep your AWESOME origins secret for the fangirls to drool over. Also, did anyone change your clothes or were you in some kind of spring-clean stasis?

>>810201
You should probably explain your emotion powers. It would help to have other people researching this kind of thing.

Phenomenal cosmic powers on one hand, multiple personalities on the other. At least Joy made a good first impression for you, right?

Does a superhero give her entire powerset, weaknesses, and origin story to every one of her benefactors, no matter how grateful she is? Allow me to keep some trade secrets, please.

Even I don't know what I can do sometimes.

It was just a side effect from our magic.

>Liz: "Speaking of which, weren't you green before?"
Side effect from crazy magic that let me instantly create an object about a million times larger than myself.

Dang. Three months. Everyone I know probably thinks I'm dead. My house and my bills and my job are probably all messed up!

After all you saw me doing, not being green is what seems weird to you? Just joking.

I don't think we should tell her everything, just tell her that it was because of magic or something like that.

Woah. Okay. You guys have a lot to say. Thanks. But I think it's probably for the best that I leave out the parts where I can transform into magical girls. I'd rather her believe it was an Anomaly, like that one dude who found an axe in the Third Ring that could change sizes depending on air temperature. Shit gets weird, but not as weird as me.

>>810384
Ash: "Uh, so, after producing an object 'about a million times my size,' the fact that I'm not green is what bothers you?"

Liz: "I mean, I uh-I guess? It's weird, is all. Was it just a dye or something?"

Ash: "Something like that. Also, I have gotten multiple mentions of someone named Cliff and I still have no idea who that is. Where is he?"

Liz: "I...can't tell you. Probably somewhere I've never been and never will be. He's like a ghost, I swear..."

Liz has started mumbling to herself intelligibly. I'm just gonna leave her to whatever.

I think right now I have two options: I could try and find Cliff immediately, or I could try to find my way back home and do whatever there. What do you guys think?

eh, just go home. No need to cause unnecessary attention towards yourself.

Oh @#$% you haven't paid rent for three months!

Thank Liz (with a hug) and start looking for Cliff. So far, our leads are this mention of hidden doors, and a Cliff note. If we keep poking around this house, we might find one of these secret doors!

>>810437
Ok, if you get to poke fun at the face that person made in that picture on the wall, I'm going to make fun of you and the face you're making right now!

Oh hey your Happiness meter is... different now. Maybe that means it's on cooldown?

You should probably go home and check your mail or whatever.

>>810460
Maybe we burned out on happiness. ...which means Ash might be currently incapable of feeling happy?

>I think right now I have two options: I could try and find Cliff immediately, or I could try to find my way back home and do whatever there. What do you guys think?
What about calling someone? As far as your friends, family, job, and bills are concerned you dropped off the face of the earth. They're probably worried / think you're dead / fired you / are busy repossessing your stuff.

You might want to clear that up?

How much money do you have? Do you use autopay for your bills? You should probably go home and figure out your financial situation.

If you pass out for 3 months every time an emotion takes over, your future is going to look pretty bad. You need to look into figuring out how to both better control yourself and reduce your recovery time, and/or look into a way of suppressing your emotional personalities before they take over. Perhaps get some sedatives or anxiety medicine to keep on you at all times.

>>810437
We don't need no stinkin home! Find Cliff. We don't even have a plan or when we get home, whereas finding Cliff is a real course of action.

Perhaps you should ask her for directions: where you are, where is the exit, where is the bathroom, that sort of things.

So you've been in care for 3 months by unconventional means by this cliff guy. It seems that cliff will only be found if he wants to be found so going home is the next best option. Ask for directions to your address or better yet ask for a ride home. They've cared for you for 3 months, whats one short ride home?

Hm, well the good news is that if Joy is any indicator, then Angel can't literally destroy the world; anything beyond one emotion's "normal" craziness majorly eats up their remaining time.

To be clear; I don't think the bars indicate time - rather, they show how much that personality is still capable of accomplishing. Joy hardly expended anything just talking to us, but going at Mach 3 speed for 7.77 seconds and creating a plant spire roughly 7777 times her own size both knocked out nearly half her "time."

Question for Ash; do you know how you became this way? Are there others like you? (I mean, not exactly like you with your emotion personalities and such; I just mean people who have also been "touched" by the weirdness of the rings.)

charging your phone is a must. informing your employer and landlord of your whereabouts for the last three months is the first step toards staving off eviction/termination that could result from your MIA status. as long as your rent was up to date and the next payment still a ways out, you should still have a few days to make arrangements for the two missed payments before it can become three, and your employer finding out you've been missing due to a workplace injury should entitle you to compensation.
