Your name is Cyle Darrops

You are quite enthusiastic about video games, especially those with convoluted almost confusing narratives. When you're not playing video games, or at the very least watching old playthroughs of them, you spend your time attempting to improve your art skills. You're not exactly terrible at drawing, but you could be a whole hell of a lot better. Though you aren't too invested in art you are completely fascinated with knives! You love to collect, restore, and maintain them.

As mentioned before it is 1:15 in the morning and it's unlikely you'll be going back to sleep. Not that it matters too much really as there isn't much you need to wake up for, nothing particularly special is happening in the morning. Still you've got a few hours to kill before the sun rises.

What will you do next?

fap

eh screw it, boot up your computer and play some games till you either get tired or board.

>>960123
Time for a midnight walk, I suppose. Pack the coolest knife you've got that doesn't obviously violate the law, for self defense. Never know when your very own needlessly complex story starts. Hope you remember the basics of CQC.

>>960126
Go for the walk.
Sometimes the mind will wander off to wondrous places during these uncommon hours.

((And you might as well take out the trash while you do so.))

Yep, time to walk around at night with a knife.

Check on your muhrooms and admire your posters.

I am incredibly surprised that only one person suggested this. It would be almost criminal for us to not attempt it.

>>960123
Think about what your next art project is going to be.

You retrieve your copy of Arms from your dresser...It's actually only the case, which is fine since you don't have a switch to play it on. Those old human consoles are hard to come by, you play most of your games via emulators.

You eye the bags of refuse sitting in your room. It's mostly food wrappers and paper plates. The thought of taking it out crosses your mind but that seems like more work than it's worth. No harm in letting it sit for a bit longer right? It's not killing anyone.

You turn your attention towards your potted mushroom. A thoughtful gift from one of your friends, it wasn't a special day when she gave it to you or anything imps just enjoy exchanging gifts with one another. Apparently this mushroom is wildly poisonous should you eat the stalks of it, but you aren't dumb enough to put it in your mouth, just dumb enough to keep it in your room.

>Admire posters
Wonderful classics of the human era, you're sure in their time video games were lauded as high art. You can only get your hands on the few your emulator can run. These posters you managed to scavenge yourself, with the help of one of your friends they were restored to near perfect condition.

Killer 7 has to be your favorite by far. It's almost like some form of abstract poetry that no matter how many times you read it it still remains a complete mystery what the hell's actually going on. Luckily it's not poetry or else it would be boring and confusing, it's a video game so it's fun and confusing.

On the opposite spectrum is Let it Die, a game that's pretty straight forward and quite frankly really bad. However it's bad controls, pay to win design, and grindy aspects are all over shadowed by the amount of style that the game oozes. You love Uncle Death so fucking much. Despite being a shit game you're pretty sure your friend who sent you your mushroom plant still plays it, solely because of the games heavy use of mushrooms. You swear she's obsessed with those things.

You hop on your computer and try to open up your emulator to play and...oh GOD DAMMIT. Your emulator isn't working! You keep getting an error back every time you open it up, so much for wasting time playing video games. These pre-Rapture emulators are super spotty but you don't know where you can get a new one. Oh well, guess you need to find something else to waste time with...Hold on, someones sent you a message. You open Blasphemy to see who it is...

C&C: You're probably not awake to read this, but I'll leave this as a message for you when you do wake up. I've gotten my digital copy a day early and will be ready to play as soon as you are. It seems the digital release was moved up so now we're all ready to begin soon.
C&C: I still don't understand why you guys didn't buy the digital version seeing as the rest of your games are already digital.

How did you get a message at 1:20 when it's 1:15 on the system clock? And what game are they talking about?

>>960215
This game C&C is talking about, do you need your emulator to play it? If so, then you've got a problem.

Message C&C and tell them that you woke up just now and can't fall back asleep. Then explain that you tried to play some games, but your emulator isn't working! Ask if they know of a way to help you get it working.

>Take out the trash.
Eh, it's your room.

What is this game by the way?
Do you need to worry about your 'spotty emulator' crashing it?

Good to know that you don't have a complicated inventory system. Could get messy with knives.

But why did you get a physical copy of the game.

The clock display doesn't sync up correctly most of the time. On top of that it doesn't even display the right date or year. That's what happens when you use an old refurbished computer. Despite that Blasphemy tells the time just find thankfully. You guess it must not work off of your system clock.

>>960232
>What game is she talking about?
One you've been waiting to play with your friends for a while. You didn't expect her's to get here for a while so you didn't think it'd be any time soon. Luckily this game doesn’t rely on any emulation, just your disc reader needs to work.

C&C: You're probably not awake to read this, but I'll leave this as a message for you when you do wake up. I've gotten my digital copy a day early and will be ready to play as soon as you are. It seems the digital release was moved up so now we're all ready to begin soon.

D&D: you say that but you had to wait until today to get it. besides i like having physical games.
C&C: Oh you ARE awake! Why are you up so late!
D&D: yeah i woke up in the middle of the night and could get back to sleep so i'm wasting time until sunrise
C&C: You're going to be groggy in the morning! Do we need to reschedule when we're going to play so you can get some actual sleep?
D&D: nah i'll be fine. just install yours and i'll go find mine and install it too.
C&C: You've had your copy of the game for longer than me and you still haven't installed it? Knowing you it's probably lost somewhere ridiculous in your apartment, plus after you find it you'll have to install it on that hunk of junk you keep hooked up to a keyboard.
D&D: shut up it'll be fine. besides i remember where i put it it's in the maintenance room of my apartment floor.
C&C: Again, lost somewhere ridiculous.
D&D: it's not a ridiculous place! i stopped by there to check on the heating and left my copy there. Lately it’s been on the fritz and there hasn’t been a maintenance bot up here in a while. It’s fine now but yeah.
C&C: But on a side note, don't make a habit out of waking in the middle of the night. It's a great way to ruin your already messy sleep schedule. G&M could probably make you some sleep tea, and I do have access to a number of sleeping medication.
D&D: it's not that serious yet but thanks anyway. download your game
C&C: On it, retrieve your game from whatever room in your apartment it's in
D&D: On it.

You left a physical copy next to the heater?! That’s a bad thing to do! If the heater gets hot enough, it can melt your game! Or if it’s not melted, it’ll get warped and won’t properly fit into the game console!

I hate to say it, but I think your game is ruined.

Games are for children. Go practice your MS Paint drawing skills instead.

So where is this fabled maintenance room?

Games are a media for those with refined tastes you uncultured welp! Regardless you should work on your digital art for a bit. Practice makes perfect.

You take some time to practice your art skills. Krita is fine, but MS Paint's were all the real art gets done. This is some of your best work. Oh yeah you're going to save this for sure. In fact you're sending this to C&C, somebody needs to see this!

Your living room is the cleanest place in your apartment. Not because you're particularly tidy, but because you mostly spend a good portion of time in your room. Part of you's considered moving to a smaller apartment since you live alone, well not totally alone if you count your cat but your worried if you count your cat as a roommate you're one step closer to being a crazy cat imp and you're doing your best to avoid that. Speaking of your cat you haven't seen Cheshire all day, she's probably hiding somewhere.

>>960272
>You left a physical copy next to the heater!?
No! You're not stupid! The maintenance room just regulates the heat for your floor. The heater is in a different part of the building all together.

>>960297
>So where is this fabled maintenance room?
It should be near the elevator, like you said to C&C it's not very far.

You head for your front door and exit- Oh what the hell is your front door locked? No it's blocked by something, something it's blocking it from the other side.

Oh you know what this is. Somebody's being a BAD CAT and decided to wedge one of your doors shut again! Cheshire did this once with your bedroom door when you forgot to feed her, and again with your bathroom door when she felt bored! Once again you're confined to your house until she feels like unblocking your door. Maybe you can convince her to do it faster if you figure out why she's doing this? Hopefully Cheshire's not just bored again or else you'll be here for a while. You gotta find her first though.

well she's behind you so it shouldn't be to hard to find out what she wants unless she is board again and is turning this into a game and wants you to catch her.

Hm. Careful analysis suggests Cheshire's feed bowl looks empty. Correct this discrepancy.

Collect trophies. Also, eat from the cat food bowl.

>>960313
It's probably upset because you don't consider it a proper roommate. Apologize.

>>960313
Your cat is sitting on the counter behind you, laughing at you being unable to leave.

She probably did that because you haven’t fed her.

What's with the trophies?

>>960313
Feed your cat.

Retrieve arms from cat.

Containing a feline is easy. Just acquire a container of approximately half the feline's volume. Direct the opening of the container towards the cat. Wait until success occurs.

Her bowl is full! Untouched in fact. She's probably upset you switched to a new cat food. The old kind was more expensive and unhealthy so you switched to a different one. You don't understand how she couldn't like this, it's supposed to be made with real meat and vegetables. Maybe she likes wet food better. What are going to do with this stuff?

>What's with the trophies?
Accolades for surviving many a Live Action Death Game. Devils used to pit lower demons against insurmountable odds all the time for their entertainment. As time went on gladiator arenas and battles to the death had changed into the LADG genre you know and love today! You only ever really play the lower ranked ones so the chance of death isn't as high, though of course that also means the reward isn't as great either. For surviving ,and on one occasion winning, these games you were awarded with meager monetary rewards and these trophies which while shiny are worthless, demons can make gold no problem so these are little more than fancy flat ware. You like filling them with soft drinks and pretending they're worth more than they really are.

Normally you play these LADGs alone, but this newer one promises to allow for cooperative play with friends! You remember why you were so excited about everyone getting it! Now you really want to get out of this apartment and play.

>>960316
>Collect trophies
You take the worthless trinkets, just in case you need them for something later.

Put water in the dry cat food, microwave it a bit to make it warm. See if she wants that.

What’s the room by the fridge?

>>960476
She was there, then she disappeared. If your cat can block the door, then what other things can she do? Any special powers?

>>960478
Well if you don’t eat it, then how is your cat supposed to know that it’s good? If you won’t eat it, then she probably isn’t going to eat it either.

>>960479
If she doesn’t want any food, then maybe she wants to play? Does she have any toys she likes to play with? Or are you her favorite thing to play with, since she’s toying with you?

>>960490
I don’t see a microwave anywhere.

Change the cat's water out. You ought to change it every day, since cats prefer clean, new water. Also, they like moving water, but you're not gonna be able to get a kitty fountain bowl immediately so that's moot, for now.

You got anything in the fridge or cupboards that Cheshire likes to eat as much or more than the catfood you got her before? Like lunch meat? Or tuna?

She might be annoyed you left the TV on, again. Go turn that thing off.

So, what's through that door next to the 'fridge? Pantry? Broom closet?

>...demons can make gold no problem so these are little more than fancy flat ware.
So just how easy is it for y'all to make gold? Easy enough that y'all use gold instead of copper for wiring and electronics? Or have gold-ware instead of silverware?

call her name, with some "here kitty kitty"s thrown in for good measure

Check the fridge for cats.

>>960479
Maybe your cat wants you to change her litter box?

>Let it Die being good and shit at the same time.
I like you.

Ok, i guess it's time to look your your cat, and find out what does it want.

Just... double-check that the door is locked, while listening for giggling felines.

When you first got her you thought she could teleport, now you know she's only going invisible. It makes it hard to keep track of her at times, but she normally only does it when she's in a mood like she is right now.

Well if that's the case you're sure you can just turn on the kitchen sink. You turn the nozzle and let the water flow for a bit. You can see the water splash as if an invisible tongue were lapping at the stream. You're going to assume Cheshire likes that and that it's improving her mood a bit

There's some synthetic pork sandwich meat. You lower a slice to the ground so Cheshire can eat some. Chunks of the meat are bitten off little by little until the entire thing is gone.

There she is! Hopefully she's done being a bad cat! Now that Cheshire's shown herself all you have to do is get her to unblock the door!

You use a number of movements, signals and gesticulations to try and convince Cheshire to remove the blockage. Your cat looks at you for a little before disappearing and shortly reappearing after with...

...A screwdriver? There's no way this was what blocking your door. In fact a quick turn of the front door knob shows it is still in fact blocked! Actually, you remember losing this screwdriver a little while ago but still it has little use to you right now!. Wait, you can also hear something coming from your room. Something that sounded like the faint beep of the Blasphemy client receiving a new message.

>>960616
You could... unscrew the door from its frame?

Eh, fuck it. Go check on that message before taking drastic measures.

>>960615
>>960616
You clearly need better interpretative dancing skills. For now take the screwdriver and head back to the pc and hope you aren't gonna be made fun of for being manhandled by your cat.

Eat the scaredriver.

Take screwdriver, remove front door, grab game, install game, read messages while installing game

Try improving Cheshire's mood even more so that maybe she'll un-jam the front door before attempting anything else. Pet her and scratch her on the jaw and behind the ears. You got a brush or comb you could use on her too?

If that fails, then pick up the screwdriver and check if it could even unscrew the front door's hinges at all. After that, go check your new messages.

>>960616
I think Cheshire is telling you to unscrew the door from the hinges and remove it completely so that you can remove whatever is in front of the door yourself.

You can't do that! The screw bit of the hinge can only be reached from the other side of the door if the door is opened. Which you cannot do with the door blocked! Besides, you're pretty sure those screws are Philips and not Flathead.

You return to your room to check the message on your computer. It looks like C&C got your drawing.

Chemical Chalice (C&C) messaged Deuces Daggers (D&D) at 1:29

C&C: Cyle! Have you somehow happened upon a piece of art from the old human era? Truly this is a masterpiece of the highest degree.
D&D: would you believe me if i told you that I, CYLE DARROPS, dre that master piece myself?
C&C: Impossible! The dimensions, the form, all of this looks like the work of one of the old masters and if not a bygone human then only one of the most illustrious devil painters!
D&D: i assure this is all me! i have finely tuned my artist skills and am now up there with the greatest painters of old!
C&C: So great you can name a few?
D&D: fuck no, I don't kno anything about human painters.
C&C: Of course not, you're so far above them why bother? I'm sure if you were alive all those years ago your work would be sat right in the Louvre perched atop a pedestal made from the other inferior works of so called art by the hacks of the olden days.
D&D: lol totally, i mean i don't know what a louvre is but it sounds like a lot of art is or used to be there so of course i'd have my masterpiece featured in it.
C&C: I'd love to talk about your shitty mspaint drawing all night but I'm wondering about your progress getting your game?

D&D: yeah she was but she should be better now, but she's still not letting me out! I'm going to have to wait until she decides to unblock thee door at this rate
C&C: Far be it from me to suggest a method of escaping that could endanger your life but your apartment has windows doesn't it?
D&D: yes, but i don't live on a low floor
C&C: Well then don't climb down, climb up further, or into an adjacent apartment if possible and leave through there.
D&D: i'm still worried about falling!!!
C&C: Then look for a different way out. Or you could twiddle your thumbs until Cheshire says you may leave. I had no idea your life was controled by a cat, does she set a curfew for you when you leave?
D&D: yes but only because she worries very much

Check under the rugs for trapdoors. Alternatively, does your freezer contain any interdimensional passages?

>>960648
Maybe you can get out through a different room? Looking back here: >>960310 , there’s another door straight across from your bedroom. Where does that lead?

>>960646
You don't have to unscrew the hinges, just remove the pins.

Alternatively, does your apartment have any convenient person-sized air vents you can crawl through?

>>960648
Cease your thoughts about eating random objects in your vicinity at once, what if you ate something precious, like your knives? Actually, that'd be a kind of sick trick.

Are you sure your cat didn't give you the screwdriver as a way of telling you that you've got a screw loose? Which would be kinda insulting, since she basically called you crazy.

>>960659
This could work.

That leads into your bathroom.

There’s a hatch on the floor next to the sink! And it looks like you can unscrew the corners to open it up!

I’m guessing this is why Cheshire gave you that screwdriver!

Yeah let's go hatchways.

where does the hatch go?

That's a rather poor supply of toilet paper.

The cat is sitting on the toilet because she's showing you the way out.

Flush yourself down the toilet.

>The hatch
It's used for fixing small issues with the plumbing in the bathroom. You've only been in there once, and it didn't lead anywhere before. Regardless you unscrew the hatch and crawl down to find a segment of the small space in the floor knocked down, leading further in than it should...

Oh, this has Cheshire written all over it, that cat's made bigger messes before. As you crawl through the opening you begin to realize that a wall of the plumbing space under the hatch in your bathroom was dug out and leads to what looks like a vent shaft? Maybe this is why your heating's been weird lately. You've gotta block that hole later, but for now you exit continue through the vents looking for an exit.

The vents wind for sometime until you manage to find another plate you can unscrew.

At the end of the vents you find yourself in the maintenance room you planned to reach all along. It's incredibly convenient and saves you a lot of hassle...or at least it would if the actual game was hear. Nothing but disappointment, dust, and the dead chassis of a maintenance bot lying in a puddle of its own coolant. That wasn't here earlier...looks like the poor bastard had an altercation with one or more other much more aggressive bots.

Search for The Game.

>>960799
How aggressive are we talking here?
Check the cabinets and stuff. What's that computer do?

>>960799
>or at least it would if the actual game was here.
I mean, you left a game in here. What did you think was going to happen? Did you honestly think somebody wasn’t going to take it if they found it? Somebody probably saw it, said “finders, keepers”, and took a free game that they didn’t have to spend their own money on.

Try looking for clues to see if you can figure out where your game went.

You can also go through the hallway back to your apartment and unblock the door now.

so do the maintenance bots have turf wars often?

Anyways I guess start looking through cabinets and whatnot before you leave the room to see if on of the bots haven't just moved your game and put it away.

The bots are probably hiding in the cupboard, waiting to ambush whatever comes to maintenance. Duct tape the cupboards closed then use your horns to improvise a keyhole in the door to look through.

Huh, the coolant smear doesn't continue over the door - not even its frame. A door maintenance bot came through here, mayhaps? Does that even make sense?

Wait, that is not good, right? You should report this, this might cause more trouble later for everyone in the building.

Yeah, they're oddly aggressive to one another. You think there's something wrong with their programming or something because they'll start fights at the drop of a hat.

>Whats the computer for?
Checking a number of systems on the floor. You managed to hack the login to use it, not the cool movie style of hacking but the lame kind where you guessed a bunch of passwords and looked through sticky notes to find the right information. You're not sure if a human set this computer up or a robot, but either way Username: User1, Password: Password1 was still a pathetic attempt at security.

>How aggressive are we talking here?
They seem to understand that you're not a robot so they tend to leave you alone as long as you leave them alone. Still you chose to live on a floor that's away from the conflict as to not get caught up in it. Seems like they've finally worked their way up to you.

It's never been a problem for you, and since you're the only one living in the building that's all that matters. Besides this is common.

You do that. Turns out Cheshire moved a chair in front of the knob to keep it jammed shut. Such a bad cat, but god damn you still love her.

While you stand in front of your door you can hear a faint beep coming from inside your apartment. It's not your computer, is that your phone? You've been looking for that since this morning! It sounded like it's somewhere in your living room?

>>961015
Get your knife ready, just in case you need to stab someone to get your things back from them!

maybe the cleaning bots finally got tired of bloodshed and decided to do it's job and clean your apartment. I mean if you're the only person who lives here then it makes since they'd stop by at some point to clean. Especially if they have finally made it up to your level.

This.

Carve holes into the chair legs. Mix the coolant, some ground wiring, and sawdust into a cruse rocket fuel. Load the chair legs up with rocket fuel and rocket-chair your way back into your apartment.

How post-apocalyptic of you.

Follow the trail of robot liquid... but go answer your phone first I suppose.

You live alone in an entire building? That is wack. Anyway, you are not entirely alone if you have robots all over the place. Someone else must be in this place, and took your game, either a robot or some other person.

They never reach anywhere over an 8, but what you've been seeing might be a 9? Or maybe they never go over 7 and this is an 8? 1-11 is sort of a weird scale to use why not 1-10 or even 1-5?

>>961157
>You live alone in an entire building? That is wack.
All of the imps in the city live pretty spread out and most are solitary so it's not too weird. There are only about 1,000 imps and the city's big so there's a lot of empty space.

After answering your friend you return to following the trail of coolant through the halls of the apartment complex. Despite being a large building the complex is pretty easy to navigate even if you haven't been living here your whole life so there's no fear of being lost.

The trail eventually stops at a door with a disturbing amount of coolant pooling underneath it, well it'd be disturbing if you were a robot. You imagine this whole thing would be terrifying had the halls been filled with dead imps. Anyway, you have a feeling your game thief is in there.

There’s some red stuff mixed in on the wall next to the door. On your guard. Is there usually only one way into these apartments, or can you try another way that wasn’t recently used by a violent dude?

>>961204
Oh no! That robot might be leaking coolant all over your game and ruining it!

Wait, what’s that red mark on the wall next to the door? The red mark is on top of the coolant, which means it was made after the robot went into that room. There might actually be someone else in there!

What you first believe to be blood is actually more coolant. it shares the same chemical smell it just has a different color to it, probably another brand a different model of robot uses. It's still wet, you can only assume it belongs to the robot that did this.

>>961217
Well in that case, let’s go in and hope that robot isn’t leaking coolant all over your game!

>>961217
Be ready to dive behind the door in case this robot decides to chuck a projectile.

Scavenge a toaster, paint a smiley face on it, and place it across the hall from the door. Open the door, wait for the 'bot to come out and get distracted by the toaster, then sneak past and raid the room for your game. Then you just need to hide beside the door while it opens and sneak past when the robot comes back in, it'll never even know that you were there.

What are your minimum requirements to survive and remain functional?

Enter the room on the opposite side to get a blanket or something to cover this liquid so you don't get dirty.

Look out for enhanced knockers. And ninja robots. And ghost servers. And pretty much anything that has to do with technology. Salvage everything.

You'd hate to slip, so you also find a towel to place over the coolant puddle.

You prop Sir Toastyman up on a stool and knock on the door to the apartment. You hide behind the door as it swings open revealing an orange robot draped in rags. The ragged robot investigates Sir Toastyman, giving you time to slip into the open apartment.

Your precious game copy! Only slightly stained with coolant though you're sure that the casing has protected the delicate disk inside! Even though you've revived the game about a week ago, it feels like you've had to wait another month to even look at it!

Not your job to investigate domestic violence.
Eat- I mean, take the game and leave. Unless the robot comes back, in which case you should enter the other room in the apartment.

snatch and grab, be prepared to run into the side room if the clean bot slasher comes back in and pray that their is a window for you to sneak out of or something should that happen.

>>961239
Try not to slip on the coolant!

Speaking of which, you're going to end up leaving footprints from stepping in it, so that's going to make it difficult for you to hide from the robot!

*When trying to hide or run from the robot!

>>961239
Just grab your game and go. No need to rifle through the robot's belongings.

I am sure that you can resist the mystery of the coolant-spewing cupboard. It's not as though you haven't seen a dead body before. How bizarrely weird could it even be? You certainly never had an interest in Frankensteinian monstrosities and other secret mad science... did you?

Tbh it really isn't that exciting all things considered. I mean, yes it is probably severed robot parts, but that is what happens in a turf war.

Lets not get distracted from our game any longer than we need to.

Not much. The cards can rip if you're not careful and you'd have to buy or find more if that happened. Though you did find something else out before, if you bend the card and flick it like so...

You don't really want to store them, you place them on the cabinet instead so they're out of the way.

You open your closet in search for a towel. There are a bunch inside piled on top of your old arcade machine. You planned to fix it up and get a game working on it, but your knowledge of technology wasn't extensive enough to finish the job so now it just sits in your closet.

D&D: they're just fine. i've been keeping them moisturized and everything like you said.
D&D:…
D&D: hello?
D&D: G&M?
G&M: SORRY! I spaced out! That's good to hear! Has anyone else started playting yet?
G&M: Wait dumb question, neither you or C&A have installed it yet and I know I haven't. So I guess I'm asking if C&C's started oalying yet.
G&M: I mean playing.
D&D: i don't think she has yet, i'll ask when i talk to her again. speaking of which i gotta install this game
D&D: wait why haven't you started playing yet?
G&M: Well I was going to but then my laptop battery DIED! it won't even charge so i need to use my cruddy phone to talk to you! i'm wworking on finding a replacement battery, until then I'll have to wwait longer.
D&D: can't you plug it in and use it that way?
G&G: NO! I'm all out of power and need to wait for more! It's going to take ike 3 weeks to get more…oh man I don't know if I have an extra. You guys might have to play without me 0(
D&D: well that sucks, i think i have a battery somewhere if you want it.
G&M: YES! I'D LOVE THAT! I mean if you're really fine with it that is.
D&D: don't sweat it, we're all supposed to be playing this together. i'll get to sending it soon.

You install Echelon onto your computer and message C&C to see her progress on downloading.

Deuces Daggers (D&D) messaged Chemical Chalice (C&C) at 2:41

D&D: hey C&C, you haven't started yet have you?
C&C: I couldn't if I wanted too, the game only allows a session to being when at least two players have logged on. So we cannot start until either you, C&A, or G&M join too.
D&D: well im almost ready, just need the game to download. don't know about the others tho.
C&C: Don't worry, If you and me are going to be the first ones ready then we can begin the session together and then the others can join in later. D&D: y'know these sort of games don't normally have so much set up
C&C: They aren't normally made to be played with other's either. I don't know what prompted a game like this to be made. A new way to torment imps maybe? Have you considered that this game allows us to play together to pit us against one another?
C&C: Follow up question, if that is the case are you prepared to be absolutely "thrashed"? I'll warn you many of the acids I've developed are quite good at eating through the metal of knives.
D&D: that's a bit of a scary thought i wouldn't want to fight any of you guys! not just because we are friends but because you are all crazy and probably would kill me easily
C&C: Have a little faith in yourself Cyle, I probably wouldn't be able to see you coming under the right circumstances. You embody all of the negative properties of an imp, but carry them with such skill that they become strengths instead of weaknesses. When you shirk away into the shadows it is not cowardice but cunning stealth!
D&D: i honestly can't tell if you know what youre doing or not
C&C: Isn't that part of the fun of being my friend?
D&D: no! it sucks!
C&C: Well, hopefully we won't be forced to kill each other in terrible gladiatorial combat. We'll see when your game's done.
D&D: by the way, soon I'll have to send G&M a replacement battery for her laptop, apparently the thing fried at some point so she'll take a little longer to join
C&C: That's okay, hopefully the delivery will be fast. What's your progress by the way?

Once the game is finished installing it connects to your Blasphemy client and lets you find C&C's room

C&C: Okay, now that we've entered a new screen first thing I've noticed immediately is the presence of the team section.
D&D: oh
D&D: yeah that make me a little nervous
C&C: Now my jokes seem a slight bit more in poor taste, Still we don't know what the point of these teams are yet so let's not jump to any conclusions. How would that even work when we are nowhere close to being near each other?
D&D: still I was hoping this would be entirely coop and not teams
C&C: Do you still want to play?
D&D: yeah, we waited this long
C&C: Good. Now, since you and I are the only two ready, for us to get any progress I suggest we pick opposite teams.
D&D: we'll be team captain!
C&C: Yes! That is if your teammate will be willing to listen to you. Speaking of which, who will your partner be?
D&D: shouldn't we wait for them to choose what team they want to be on?
C&C: We could, but traditionally team captains pick their teammates. You can choose first since playing was your idea, but if you decide against picking someone I'll also wait until they choose themselves.
C&C: So what'll it be? Choose G&M or C&A, or let them pick for themselves later on?

"Traditionally? If this is the first team game in the genre, how can anything be traditional?"

"As for my choice... G&M doesn't seem like the best teammate on paper for most people, but I really don't want the poison and acid on the same team against me. His fogbanks also mesh pretty well with... well, you spelled it out just now. That's all the info you're getting from here on out."

D&D: well
D&D: if i took G&M it would mean we wouldn't have to deal with acid + posion mushrooms
C&C: So you're taking G&M then?
D&D: i didnt say i as yet…
D&D: uh
D&D: damn its hard to choose!
D&D: i don't know if i can pick between my friends!
C&C: Would you rather I picked first?
D&D: no no no im still gonna do it, just gotta think is all
C&C: You know if you picked C&A you'd get the benefit of his superior physical capabilities at your disposal. Plus I have on good authority that he considers you his "Best Bro" and as such I'm sure he would follow your orders to the best of his abilities
D&D: is this you tricking me because you know something I dont?
C&C: I am simply offering friendly advice. Well, if you need more time to think I can wait. Remember you can choose G&M, C&A, or let them pick for themselves should they want to.
C&C: Alternatively, you can let me pick my teammate first. Which for you won't be too different from letting them pick themselves.

so from what I'm getting is cyle is sneaky sneaky stab stab type of imp, D&D is an alchemist?, CA is a brawler, and I am drawing a blank on what GM does exactly outside of working with fungi and maybe the dead... druid necromancer combo maybe?

Maybe CA would be best as a partner to act as a distraction while you can sneak behind people to do your thing but without knowing what exactly each person can do I don't have full confidence in either picking a teammate to complement your style or to pick one to deny D&D some synergy.

GM + DD can be anagram-ized into "GD DM" which can be read as "God Dungeon Master".

This means G&M is clearly the optimal pick, and you're not just tripping balls.

Yet.

>>962258
Honestly, it’s kinda hard to make a decision when we don’t know much about the people we’re picking from. But maybe that’s the point?

I guess I’d pick C&A, since he’s supposedly our "Best Bro".

>>962259
>so from what I'm getting is cyle is sneaky sneaky stab stab type of imp, D&D is an alchemist?
D&D is Cyle’s screen name, they’re not different imps.

C&C is the one that might be an alchemist, if we just look at their screen name.

>>962270
While G&M based on the 'acid and poison' combo comment is probably the girl who keeps sending poisonous mushrooms to Cyle.

>>962258
C&A

If ttrgp memes tell me anything, G&M is the one.

I'm really hoping this isn't one of those cursed games where dying in the game kills you irl. We'd feel so bad if we ended up killing our friends on the other team.

>>962311
i think that is exactly what it means, and i think they (the characters) know full well what they are getting into

For a moment, instead of being Cyle you are C&C, but only for a little.

You stare at the window displayed by the game client unaware as to how this could be possible, but these games do tend to use a few reality warping rituals mixed with laws of physics breaking technology. At the bottom of the screen there are tabs with labels, mousing over said tabs highlights a number of objects in Cyle's room with each tab highlighting different objects

Because METAL GEAR

Tell D&D to duct tape the robot parts onto the arcade machine and pin the Death Stranding and Metal Gear posters onto the dart board.

Arcade machine, metal gear solid poster

Thirding CHESHIRE as the primary wager - we're imps, we can handle a little loss, even if we end up sore about it for a bit.

However, I'm going to swerve from what the other two said and suggest that it be paired with the KILLER 7 POSTER. I feel that C&C would think a poster about an identity-swapping assassin paired with a "mischievous" and "cunning" base could be loads of fun to fight.

D&D: C&C?
D&D: what's going on? did you do something?
C&C: I guess I made a "blueprint". I don't really know what that entails for the game. I guess it has to load for a bit. Is anything different in your room?
D&D: no can't you still see me?
C&C: Not while the blueprint loads I guess?
D&D: well shit
D&D: we seriously gotta wait longer? i don't see any loading bar on my screen
C&C: It must just be for me then as your Mastermind. Well, as long as we have time to burn you had better get to sending G&M her replacement battery.
D&D: right i'll get on that, i'll have my phone with me so we can still talk

If you remember correctly the replacement battery should be somewhere in your kitchen, up in a cabinet or the pantry somewhere. You'll also have to collect a delivery drone from the first floor mail room to send it to G&M.

Welp, pet Cheshire and head to the kitchen

give your cat some attention to keep her happy and then grab the thing from the kitchen since it's close. Then B line it for the mail room.

I have the odd feeling we can spend as long as we want with cat before we get the battery and the mastermind will remain loading till atleast we start on the battery issue. As such, pet cat.

>>963309
Play with your cat before making that delivery!

Pick up Cheshire and pat her as you travel.

You definitely do a totally sick back-flip from your room out into the kitchen, but it was off screen so don't ask about it. No to find where you put the battery, you guess you'll check the pantry first...

You open your pantry and move around bags of barbecue chips and other junk foods, along with a few healthy snacks C&A sent you to make sure you keep a balanced diet. You don't have the heart to tell him you haven't even considered opening a bag of vegetable fries, whatever those are...

There's no battery in your pantry though, maybe it's in the over head cupboards?

D&D: hell i could send the whole thing to you i dont want it
C&C: No! You need to keep it in case you having it is important to the game. I doubt this would just be dropped into your house if it wasn't necessary, maybe find a box or a jar or something to put it in to keep it safe? I doubt you have any incubators around but maybe it won't need one?

Wait, what if this thing is the blueprint? If it's loading, then maybe it's waiting for this thing to grow? Perhaps this is meant to be our game piece or something?

Anyways, let's send a sample and put it in a bucket. Hopefully the cat won't mess with it.

What were we doing again? Oh right! Where's that battery?

Wait, wasn’t one of the things she picked to combine your death stranding poster? Did she somehow give you a magic baby thing?

Congratulations Cyle, it's an abomination. If you don't have a bucket you could probably slip it inside a trophy.

Perform a full-body bisection on it, and send one half to C&C. If it's important to the game, having one half should still be fine, right?

>>963944
Performing half of an abortion doesn't leave the baby okay.

>>963944
dude what

Get a pot or pan from your kitchen along with a spatula or serving spoon. Hold the pot or pan up under the edge of the table and use the spatula or spoon to push the embryo-thing into the pot/pan. Put lid on pot/pan to keep Cheshire out of it.

After that, get cleaning supplies and start to clean up your table before whatever else the game throws at you shows up. ...But first, move the table away from under the point the embryo-thing arrived at. It's possible the game settled on that spot as the "spawn point" for anything else it'll drop in, so you don't want to stand under that or leave the table there while you're cleaning it.

You'd better tell Cheshire not to mess with it.

The bridge babies in Death Stranding were human! This isn't! Besides, you have no idea what C&C did to create her blueprint or whatever. You do hope it didn't cause this though, you'd hate to think this was avoidable and you got unlucky.

Right, but you need something to hold the slime in...Oh! You get an empty Arizona can and drip it into that.

You think Cheshire got scared off by it, regardless you place the embryo in the cupboard you cat proofed because you got sick of her knocking glasses out of it.

You check the other cupboard. Inside you find the battery! Along with two more deck cards and your Arsenal of Few Things! Man you forgot you put it up here, You only ever really use one knife at a time so you don't use this thing too much, but it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

The Arsenal of Few Things is a useful tool for those with lots of weaponry to manage. It freely holsters any weapons you have with no real upper limit. However, once again, the model you have is a cheap one and the deck only holsters weapons of one type. Since you're only really proficient with wielding knives, it is set to hold knives.

Also the flick and launch flaw that your Deck of Few Things has is not present in your Arsenal of Few Things.

You place your favorite bayonet knife in your AoFT to free up extra space in your DoFT

D&D: its not in a jar its in one of my worthless trophies
C&A: You gotta get like
C&A: A glass jar and strap it to ur chest and walk around with that thing like Norman Reedus. Speak in low grunts n shit too with all the actin range of a wet sock. Stack some fuckin boxes on ur back too like the poor man's UPS worker. U got all the makings of a cosplay outfit here. Blast some indie music from your phone while you do it for atmosphere like, we get it Kojima u wanted everyone to hear ur playlist but just get a Spotify like all the other humans where doin, but no u gotta make a whole ass game to boost ur favorite band
C&A: Wait, I'm beginnin to realize this isn't the appropriate reaction to what u just said
C&A: What the hell's the fetus for?
D&D: its more like an embryo really
C&A: Gross
C&A: but what's it for?
D&D: i dont know, neither does C&C but we're assuming its for the game
D&D: speaking of which there are teams apparently
C&A: Oh that’s sorta neat. So what are u and me teamin up to crush G&M and C&C? i'm fuckin' down. Team work is the game my man let's strategize.
D&D: no shut we aren't on the same team. i teamed with G&M
C&A: HUH????????????
C&A: I cannot believe my fuckin eye. Did u actually just type that to me? Ur kidding right? What, did C&C pick me first and you had to take G&M?
D&D: no i got first pick and chose G&M myself
C&A: HHHUUUUUUUHHHHHHH???????
C&A: I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM READING! U HAD A CHANCE FOR THE BRO TEAM TO WRECK FACE AND THRASH THE PLACE AND U DIDN'T TAKE IT?
D&D: nope, sorry C&A, we simply aren't bros anymore ive grown bored of you
C&A: Is this because I made fun of the Norman Reedus game? I can CHANGE Cyle!
D&D: too late, youll have to settle for C&C's team instead
C&A: I've truly never felt such heart break. This is the worst news to befall my ears in years, y'know what Cyle wait right there.
D&D: ???
C&A: Here! I've forged for u a new knife Cyle, now allow me to turn around so my back is facing right toward u. Actually I'll save u the trouble and walk into the knife myself! Let this be the cherry on top of the little betrayal party ur throwin over there with G&M. Is there cake at the betrayal party Cyle? I wouldn't know, I am face down on the floor dead and betrayed.
D&D: yeah but its mushroom cake cuz G&M made it
D&D: anyway are you done crying about our break up? cuz if this whole team thing sticks you know you have plenty of time to get back at me
C&A: True I guess. I get the feelin these teams are goin to basically be arbitrary but I am kinda bummed we won't be doin bro squad.
D&D: even when im scheming against you and plotting your lose youll be my bro in my heart
C&A: Bro…

>Would you need two drones to send off two things at once?
If they're going to differing locations then yes you will, but the mail room should have plenty for you to use

>>964181
>how long does it take to deliver stuff?
Depends, but the drones are usually pretty fast with the help of some spatial distortion technology

You'll probably do that once you actually mail the thing

FUCKING DAMMIT CHESHIRE!

She must've blocked your door again when she was startled by the embryo spawning. You swear you are going to make it a personal objective to smash EVERY chair you come across to stop this from happening. Whatever, you have an alternate exit…

You crawl through the vents once again into the maintenance room, this time you notice the maintenance monitor turned on and flashing.

might as well give it a quick look, as long as it isn't saying your building is about to explode or something is wrong with the mail room don't think we need to be too worried but since it's along the way.

Also I'm going to suggest you remove you doorknob so your cat can't use chairs on it anymore and just get a key lock so you can lock and unlock your door to keep unwanted visitors out but you cat can't jam it anymore.

>>964281
Let’s look at the monitor and see what it says.

Tell the computer not to get the wrong idea; it's not like you want to check what the warning says or anything and that you didn't come here for it specifically... baka!

I'm pretty sure that the embryo will work better if it gestates inside a robot corpse.

it seems upset about something might as well see what it has to tell you

Of course, you need to be cool about this sort off thing. Never show your full hand when it comes to stuff like this.

Oh computer monitor! You have a message for me? Really didn't have anyone else to show? You really think I'd care about it? That's sort of pathetic don't you think? But it's fine I guess, I'll humor you for a little bit and see what you have to say.

Yeah, just like that. You need to hide your true feelings because...because...

Wait, Why the hell did you do any of this?

>>964286
>Let’s look at the monitor and see what it says.
It appears to be a message from the cities artificial intelligence mayor, or AIM for short, a storm warning. That's actually a bit of a relief, the storms around here don't get too serious unless you're driving outside and you don't own a car. At worst this means you're gonna have to do whatever game stuff there is inside, but it's not like outsides going anywhere.

>>964595
Oh great, you’ve turned the computer on. Now you’re obligated to help get it off before you leave!

>storm warning
Doesn’t this mean that the drones won’t be able to deliver things? You should hurry and hope you can find those drones and get them sent out before the storm hits!

wait will that mess with the drones being able to get to where they need to go? If so you might want to double time it to the mail room.

>>964595
Okay no big deal, go do the thing.

>Why the hell did you do any of this
Because you're a tsundere.

A storm hmm? There is a chance that a drone may not like the storm, no matter what dimensional shenanigans propulsion it uses. We better hurry.

With such a dramatic event taking place, the situation is clearly dangerous and exciting.
You should do an army crawl all the way to the mail room.

>>964595
Better get those drones out before the storm hits!

>>964597

Are you proud of yourself for making that joke?

>>964757

E probably is.

Make sure you use the storm rated drones for these deliveries.

Yes, I am proud of myself for making that joke and I’m not apologizing for it!

No! Your odd shenanigans with the terminal were a small distraction but didn't waste that much time. Crawling to the fucking mail room would be insane

>Doesn’t this mean that the drones won’t be able to deliver things?
It's quite possible should the storm get bad enough, you ought to hurry

You head straight for the elevator.

On the first floor, down the hall to the right of the elevators you find the mail room, where it always is.

Inside the place is more of a mess than you remember. To your right is a box of delivery drones, however you're wary to use any of them since the storm might destroy them along with any cargo they hold.

>>964774
>Make sure you use the storm rated drones for these deliveries.
You have seen heavy duty drones in here before, but for some reason now there are none. Not in the box with the rest of the drones any how.

>>964855
There’s a safe with something written in coolant on it. And a map drawn in coolant on the far wall. Let’s take a look at both of those!

Check the notes on the noteboard, and is there something written on the box to your left? Also, where is your apartment in relation to the map is red-and-blue-blood on the far wall, and do you recognise the key-shape next to it?

Ask C&C if there is anything on her end of the mail room. Maybe some sort of drone-fusing shenanigans can be had?

>>964855
Okay I think we can safely blame the robot wars for this, since nobody else lives here. Maybe you should put a stop to their bullshit since it's inconveniencing you.

>>964866
>Ask C&C if there is anything on her end of the mail room.
They don't live in the same building, so it's impossible for there to be anything on her side on the mail room.

So how long until the storm hits and do you have any idea how long it will take for a drone to make it to one of your friends houses?

Because if we can be sure the drones will arrive before the storm hits then we should probably send them now. Don’t really need to worry to much about their return trip.

If you don’t think they’ll make it then I guess start exploring the room and hope you can figure out where those heavy duty drones went.

Just send the drone. We have no choice.

complete your true goal, getting revenge on those blasted chairs

>>964875
But we could see if CC has an up-armored mail drone on their end that they could send to us. It would take twice as long but it could work. All this robo war stuff seems really fishy to me and I am beginning to think I am smelling a [RED HERRING].

You don't think C&C has a mail room like yours.

>>964866

Scribbles and other such notes useless to you.

>Where is your apartment in relation to the map in red-and-blue-blood on the far wall?
You live on one of the upper floors, though the map is inaccurate it seems like the floor you live on hasn't been x'd off yet

>Do you recognize the key-shape?
You recognize it's supposed to be a key. You don't recognize it as any particular key
