No, I think we've gotta spend LP.

Eh, we were... piggybacking? What do they call it in Voodoo? Mounting? Though that sounds perverted. Riding along with Lavender, so we know a bit about the relative recent past of this place.

Dolores: is your phantom limb acting up again? There was an oddity in our perception of the events. I'm sure someone can help with some cognitive trick to help with that, without needing fancy mirror tricks.

> ANALYZE

[Disaster Magnet] is an ability that indicates that an organism's presence causes machinery to fail, foundations to wear down, and fires to start. The presence of the being increases the likelyhood of a negative event occuring.

[Bullied] Indicates an organism either is or has been abused in some manner in the past. This can range from minor to life threatening. It takes time to go away, and can affect the subject much later in life.

[Stressed] Indicates an organism is predisposed to feel incredible levels of stress, and is used to being pushed to extremes. This has positive and negative side effects.

[Luna] : "Ah, er... I'm... alright for now. Thanks. I uh. Heard that that phrase was a greeting, so I thought I would, uh... use it to greet you properly."

[Dolores] : "Well, you seem like a fine enough girl. You'll tell me if something is going wrong, right...?"

[Luna] : "Ah, uh... sure..."

Dolores: Engage Mommy Mode.
Mother the hecky out of this little moth child.

>>843911
Ask to see her room! I wanna see what she's working on.

Put the 'moth' in 'mother'.

Speaking of which, do you have any glimpses of what will happen regarding the rune?

>>843911
It seems like Dolores has this better than us. Do your thing, girl.

You said there was a hidden gate here? Check out the painting.

To the Painting already? I don't know if Crackle's *that* bad... Return to the Lounge first.

I don't mean the painting in the lounge. There's a painting in this hallway, and a hidden gate.

>>844312
Same destination, most likely.

> Dolores is PRETTY sure that the picture frame in the room doesn't actually lead to the secret area, and even if it was, she wouldn't be able to 'step through' like she's supposed to. As a result, she'd just end up damaging the picture frame. Thusly, she heads back to the lounge.

>The question here is; Does she head to the 'secret' area immediately or stop to chat with crackle?

Well.....it'd be kinda rude to not go to the tv. So I think we should go to the tv and say hi!

But let me give you a quick warning, don't change the channel! That monster absolutely hates it when someone does that!

>>844823
Chat with Crackle.

Of course. Be polite, but(t) firm.

>>844823
Crackle.

>>844826
This.

Yep, time to chat with Crackle!

> Dolores moves towards the TV, and finds that after a bit of adjusting her eyes, the grains on the television become more figurelike, until as she's within 5 feet of it, they take the shape of a curious looking figure, who tips their cap and speaks with a definably southern accent.

[???] : "Howdy Ma'am. What can I do fer ya? Yer lookin' mighty fine, might I add."

Analyze and introduce yourself.

>>Dolores is both confused and immediately flustered.
This is like the 5th or 6th time you've turned red! That's gotta be a new record or something!

>>845386
Ask not what you can do for Dolores, ask what Dolores can do for you.

>>845386
Well, howdy, Crackle! It's been a while!
You probably don't remember us and I know you don't know Dolores here, so let me explain.
We used to be the voices that palled around with Lavender. We're a rock now. Go figure.
Now we hang out with this gal: Dolores. She's pretty swell. She came here looking for an acquaintance of hers, but now she's just kind of touring the house and offering to do stuff for folks.
It's all on the level. Toblerone gave her the okay himself.
Anyway! What can we do for you, fella?

Was he also a hunter that turned?

It's a shame you never met Garak, he shared your gun totin' pistols at dawn aesthetic.

> Dolores rudely covers up the stone after one of the comments about turning red the 6th time in a row, and hushes it quiet like a mother would a baby that's being just a little too loud in a movie theater. Crackle, on the flipside, just chuckles.

[Crackle] : "Ain't nothin' to be ashamed of, miss! We don't often get yer sort 'round these parts, so 's a sight fer sore eyes whenever we kin get an eyeful anyhow."

> Crackle guffaws, and Dolores is left flustered and confused to just confused. She's not really sure what to make of the monster, who would most likely refer to themselves as a 'feller' anyway.

That's just the way he likes it. Ask if'n there's anything you can do for him, pardner.

>>846487
Ask him if there's a favor you can do for him? Toblerone wanted us to help out!

>>846487
Psst. Analyze.

>>845426

The telescreen works both ways, does it not? Did you capture what happened to Garak?

>>846711
I thought we already knew what happening from talking with the others. Actually seeing it sounds like a unpleasant idea.

>>846722
I didn't ask him to show us. Having a record of it could be vital to any follow-up investigation, or we could just ask his opinion on it.

>>846487
Is he stuck in that television, or can he move about? (...not that many of the monsters here seem to move about).

[Crackle] : "Me, a hunter? Naw. Shoot, If were a hunter y'all wouldn;t find me stickin' round these parts! Y'all wouldn't really see me as a monster, neither. I'm a bonafide monster, 110 per-cent!"

[Dolores] : "A-and... As for... Garak...

> A quick, sudden flash of a corpse, the flesh of it's face somehow molten over and melded shut, and Many holes punched into the frame of the limp body, hanging loosely from skin flayed from it's ribs to hang it up from the ceiling as swarms of small, blackened childlike figures with swollen, maggot-like heads and distorted, shriveled limbs flashes onto the screen for but a moment. Dolores is startled by the sudden change, but it's gone quicker than she can reacted. Perhaps it was merely a trick of the light...

CRACKLE! YOU COST DOLORES A SANITY POINT! DON"T DO THAT!
Keep the footage to yourself. Dolores doesn't need to see that shit.

>I have the footage that ya seek, hun, but d'ya really wanna see it?
You know he died, you know who killed him. There's not much to be gained from watching it play out except self flagellation, and morbid voyeurism.

>>849683
>but d'ya really wanna see it? It ain't the purtiest picture
No, let's not look at that.

Aw, that's so sweet. You hear that, Dolores? Crackle just called you pretty!

>>849683
>SP: 39/40
Well, shit. That's a problem. We need to find a way to restore HP and SP.

First of all, no. It's bad enough that Dolores is even here. She doesn't need to see the deed. Second of all, flattery will get you nowhere.

I really don't trust Crackle. I don't 100% trust ANY of the monsters around Dolores, but Crackle really throws up some red flags for me.

>>849683
Analyze -> PARANOIA AGENT

So uh if you two were to date how would that work? He's 2 dimensional.

>>849684
Relax, it's one point out of a bunch. It's much easier to restore than health, too.

No, we don't need to see it, it's just a more concrete testimony should his death ever come before a tribunal.
Before you go, you should thank Crackle for keeping an upbeat attitude to lift spirits.
Analyze CONVINCING to get the specifics.

God, you two voices. Stop being perverted! Or if you must be perverted, do if with a bit of finesse and use double entendres or something to seem more intelligent than a boring teenager, please!

Be excellent to each other.
While we're asking questions, we still haven't asked if there's anything he "needs".
