Don't smoke it though just wave it around.

Also try to go back the way you came

I literally just came from the seventh floor of a hospital building. Where'd you come from and how did you get here?

Hooves? I think that might be Malcolm or his blind mother.

Also do you smoke? (while offering a cigarette).

Also yes hold the lighter. We need some form of light and this is probably as good as it'll get now. Examine it a bit too.

I think I'm figuring out how this place works.

You are an empath. You see the world how the people around you experience it. When you're alone with someone it's stronger. Notice how the world is most "normal" when there's more than one person (because there's consensus).

Things like glasses and mirrors show the world how their owners perceive things (or in the case of the mirror, perhaps the opposite?).

Writing in the environment reflects the gestalt emotions of the hospital at large.

Your companion is probably feeling pretty severe anxiety related to his heart condition so the world around him is very dark and scary.

Offering him a smoke will probably calm him down momentarily, but smoking is probably what got him in here (he definitely smokes, hence the lighter).

If you can calm him down things will probably brighten up a bit.

You did take a look outside and you didn't fall. Why would you fall? There was a railing. There was a pretty sunset too.

It sounds like the people he was with started getting strange too. Tell him the nurses seemed safe. The one wanted to get less pointy horns and they were eating mushroom soup not people, but their boss is very strict, and might be dangerous. Don't tell him it was your mom, because your mom is not here; she's waiting for you to call her at home, so what the nurses saw must have been something else.

You need to enter a crawlspace, just to enter it. Then you climb out of it again, and enter it again. That's how to stop being afraid of crawlspaces, to test them for safety.

For now just hold his lighter for him. If he called for help with the radio, maybe you can call your mom to come pick you up.

Light up a cigarette for a small bit of extra light. Introduce yourself to SC.

>yes hold the lighter
>for now hold the lighter

SC hands you back the lighter, he keeps pressing his face to one of the doors
You obtained: Lighter

>Examine it too
What a weird lighter, it's rather heavy and elongated; it's metallic but painted over in blue paint, you've never seen this brand before
There is something engraved on the bottom
"N 5 N?" "N S N?" "Z ∽ Z?" there is no other visible branding, it's a bit rusty, the flame is kinda small but the lighter seems functional

>Also try to go back the way you came

You turn around, SC doesn’t even seem to notice, he keeps pressing his face to doors and walking hugging the walls, muttering “safe” or “yes” before moving on
You reach the door you came from
...
Why is it like that? It has a handle but also some sort of wheel/valve, the valve doesn’t move left or right at all
You push the door, while holding to the handle, almost instinctively
It doesn’t budge at all- you try pulling
It feels so heavy- it opens a little before it comes back
It’s definitely not locked, but no matter how much you pull you can’t get it to open any more, you can’t even fit your fingers inside
…
There’s a window in there, it’s so dark, no matter from what angle you look at it, it stays like that, you try defogging it with your sleeve, it feels cold to the touch

>light up a cigarette
>don't smoke it
>light up a cigarette for more light

You light up a cigarrete it’s taking longer than expected to get lit, you blow on it until finally it’s lit, you raise it and wave it around
There it is!, the door closer SC mentioned, you couldn't see it in the dark
There is... something wrapped around the clamps of the closer, that must be what’s blocking the door, you can barely reach it if you tiptoe, it’s too strong to rip it off with your claws, that’s not rope
What the hell kind of knot is that? You try the usual: finding one of the ends, one of them seems to be metallic, the knot goes around and ends again inserted in the metallic part
Weird...
That shouldn't have been there before, when you came in the door was heavy, how did you open it then?
There is a silence, you are standing in the darkness, as soon as you lit it up it has been strangely quiet, does it mean it’s working?
On the ceiling there are strange blue pipes; you can’t reach them

An idea, you take out an unlit cigarette and stick it in the small opening; that way you can identify the door should you come back here, you still have a burning cigarette in your hand, from time to time you feed the flame with the lighter effectively producing a stronger light and some warmth, however its now up to the filter, maybe you exposed it to too much flame... you discard it before it reaches your hand

Where did SC go? You can’t hear him muttering anymore, you can’t hear anything

>follow SC
>introduce yourself to SC

You can’t see where he went, but he was moving hugging the left wall, there are so many doors- they all look the same, good thing you marked your door
You move slowly with a hand to the left wall, after a while walking you see him kneeling over a door, looking at you
SC: There you are, i though you had died lassie.
…
SC smiles: I’m joking- i could see you all the way there, you noticed the doors are trapped right? also keep your distance
“...trapped?”
SC: don’t lose the doors, it’s a long way to go all the way around, some lead to empty halls, with no point of egress, that’s a trap if I’ve seen one
“Err, i’m Erin what is your name?”
SC stops moving, not looking at you, it takes long enough you feel like asking again
Enesen: Enesen
“Enesen can you open a door for me?”
Enesen: Opening doors is dangerous, which door?
You point to the door you came from “The one back there, it’s the ex-”
Enesen interrupts: Erin do you have any food?
“no”
Enesen: We need to find food first
He continues moving

> I literally just came from the seventh floor of a hospital building. Where'd you come from and how did you get here?
Enesen: You see, I was on a boat.
You wait, expecting him to elaborate, but after a while he continues moving hugging the wall
What-

“...and what happened then?”

Enesen: Well I was just finishing fixing up a fuel pump and then someone hit me in the back of the head, I couldn’t see who was it
I was in a bed, my bed, I kept losing slipping in and out from consciousness, my head and chest were killing me from the pain, I have stitches on the back of my head
Then- at a moment I was able to stand up, no one was coming for me, but as soon as I went out of the door I got hit again and passed out
Woke up in this weird place, like I said it used to be well lit, it’s like a maze of doors and hallways, there’s a kitchen there’s room with various equipment-
There was someone here, someone horrible who kept trying to mess with my face and eyes, i couldn't see the face it was like looking up and only seeing a neck no matter how much you looked up; those monsters out there, i think they were sent by that person

Enesen appears to be extremely distressed by the idea of having his eyes "messed with" or touched

>Tell him the nurses seemed safe
Enesen: Nurses... why do you call them that?
“...I was just talking with them-”
Enesen: I think you’re mistaking them lassie, i don't think they can even speak, they just make a weird noise
Are you sure you didn’t fall to get here? I haven’t seen any stairs
“i didn’t fall from anywhere- err what happened to the lights, didn’t you said you turned them off?”

Enesen: Right we had this counter, that kept going down each day; I already was worrying about the food, that can’t be good, I can’t find what it’s connected to
This is not a ship, atleast not my ship, I recognize the movements, there is no air current in this place, the outside looks all messed up im not going there again
I'm not sure what we’re running out of other than food but running out of anything isn’t a good idea

There was a lass on the radio who has been helping me and telling me how to survive in this place, she said she was going to pick me up but I think something went wrong
She told me about the breaker; I simply pulled it down, and the lights have been out since
I think... it was a bad idea, why would she tell me that?
I can’t find the breaker again, have you seen a breaker?
“I haven’t seen any breakers”
Enesen continues moving
…

Enesen shivers at random times

“Where are we going?”

Enesen: Forward you will help me with the radio right?

> If he called for help with the radio, maybe you can call your mom to come pick you up.

The nurses and Astrid said there was a radio in this floor
But that’s right he said he was calling for help!, you can’t communicate or have a conversation on a radio unless it’s both a receiver and a transmitter

It’s strange you’d find something like that in here, but that sounds important, you would very much want to call mom
Enesen reaches a door, he looks at it for a moment
Enesen: Ninety-four it’s this one
He pulls the door open and waits for you to enter, you use the lighter to look forward
…

This looks like a cafeteria, a rundown cafeteria
“Alright where is the radio?”
Enesen: No no that isn’t here
-
Enesen: I’m starving I'm getting some food first, so your food would be second priority
“I'm not hungry-”

The door closes behind him as he enters
-This place is a mess, there are spoons and forks littering the floor, no knives in sight

-There is a bar with food in there! … well nevermind there’s only herbivore food in there, an assortment of grasses, hay, , and some empty trays
Grass is a good source of fiber you have heard, but a carnivore can’t get energy from that, same goes for hay- atleast as far as you have read, you have never tried it

-There are tables, chairs none of them are bolted to the ground

-A strange hole in the wall behind the “salad” bar you figure you could fit in there just barely

-Various cups in that cupboard, no plates in sight, there is also a bottle of “LYE” below the sink

-A microwave... it’s disconnected, the stickers on the buttons are all peeled off, there is nothing inside the microwave but the tray, above the microwave is a bottle of instant coffee

-Enesen is searching the trash, sticking his hands and moving it around

>Do you smoke?

>Offer him a smoke
The other cigarette you used for light got all used up, you take another one and light it up
Enesen: Where’d you get that? Doesn't matter why yes, I could use one actually

He picks up the cigarette and takes it to his mouth, taking a puff, the light clears up his face a little, and the area behind him
You can now see there is- something written behind him
…

Enesen: That’s better- what's the matter lassie why the long face?
You don’t comment
Enesen: No food in here but this will do, let me finish this and we’ll get to the workshop in no time

Enesen is now in the corner smoking that cigarette, he’s distracted

What should we do?

So Enesen probably got injured on a ship and then taken to the hospital while unconscious. The "long neck" monster he's describing is probably the giraffe nurse.

Enesen's name sounds like "Ensign," a Naval officer rank. However, he's wearing Crackerjacks like an enlisted sailor.

The blue pipes on the ceiling are evocative of veins. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the lungs to receive oxygen. If you follow them they'll probably take you somewhere important.

Ensen's head seems pretty fucked up so the empathetic world you're stuck in is also really fucked up.

First order of business while he's distracted: get that knife. You'll need it to defend yourself if he becomes violent.

If you can you might be able to use the knife to cut the knot keeping you trapped here.

Try to find anything that will help you make noise or signal the outside.

>>1073893
How about we don't antagonize the paranoid cat man. If we went for the knife that he hid he'd assume we meant to harm him. Take a fork. Less suspicious that way
>>1073888
"So you were a sailor before you got here? What was that like?"
Let's check out the hole with the lighter before we decide on anything involving it.

Taking the knife is probably going to freak him out even more. He might even question how we knew it was there to begin with.

Use the light and check out the little hole.

Take the knife when he's not looking obvs.

>>1074298
I doubt the dudes going to take his eyes off of the only person here. He seems too paranoid for that.

Well if you do find yourself unsupervised, get the knife.

You decide to not reach below the table

You think of reaching for a fork at the floor, there are none immediately close to you, only spoons of which you don’t believe could be any use, where are the forks? You saw some when you entered

>Enesen's name sounds like "Ensign," a Naval officer rank. However, he's wearing Crackerjacks like an enlisted sailor.
>"So you were a sailor before you got here? What was that like?"

“So you’re a sailor? How is that like, are you enlisted?

Enesen: Enlisted in the Naval Secretariat yes, as a coast guard.
I'm what's called a "salty", that's coast guards assigned to boats, that live in-quarters, most of the day, we just read, wash dishes or play cards, if anything needs fixing im the one called, I don’t have a technical degree but ive learned from just reading manuals
Coast guards are to respond to missing persons, humanitarian aid after flood seasons, drug busts, setting up buoys, emergencies in the open sea or emergencies in other vessels, however the vessel im in is mostly used for patrolling areas prone to illegal fishing of shrimp during breeding season and protection of endangered Totoaba

"Es.. Cee" Sclalan Coast-guard? is that your tag means then?

Enesen: The what now lassie?

"The "S.C" in your uniform" you point to it, he looks down, and then back at you, he seems confused

Enesen: What the hell?

SC pinches his fingers and begins scratching that embroidered patch, it comes off relatively easy thanks to the claws

Enesen: That isn't mine, we can't put anything in our uniforms, gross- this thing is sticky

SC crumples that patch and places it on his pocket

Enesen: "Where did it come from?"

"You had it since i first saw you, i though you knew"

…

Enesen doesn't respond, he seems shocked then again he always looks that way

>Use light to check the hole

This hole is rectangular, the shape looks rather well done, it must be part of the room, some sort of vent or drain, it has a weird positioning, you have to move aside various utensils, again no knives, in order to kneel and take a look down, you pocket one of the utensils a fork

Enesen: “I don’t think you can stomach grass like that lassie, believe me I’ve tried”

Dammit, he noticed: but at least he took it lightly, you think

You reach down and peek inside, using the lighter you see a narrow passage, there is a small uphill section followed by a straight path, at least as far as you can see, there is a rather thin blue... cable? No wait it’s not connected to anything on this side, up close this looks more like a hose

>The blue pipes on the ceiling are evocative of veins. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the lungs to receive oxygen. If you follow them they'll probably take you somewhere important.

There’s, blue pipes on the ceiling but also on the floor here... the one in the floor seems very small, you can’t see what’s at the end of wherever this leads

...
Enesen: Mhm that's the workshop, i can't fit through there

"How do you know it's a workshop?"

Enesen: I used to have a flashlight, could see cables, the bottom of boxes, alligator clamps, either a workshop or an utility room I'd guess

Enesen: The radio is broken; the wires have been cut; if you do find something in there bring it over here, won’t you? I'll watch your back from this side

Should you go in there? at the very least it should lead to whatever these veins are connected to, Enesen is physically incapable of entering there

And if you do, what is the best possible way to not be overcome by claustrophobia? maybe you can think of a way to advance while keeping the fear at minimum

Definitely crawl in there.

Maybe crawl briefly in and out once to prove to yourself you won't get stuck. Then you won't be afraid of getting stuck later.

Alternatively, you could go in feet first so that you're always looking out of the hole and don't feel as confined

A weird thing to be disturbed over but knowing this place there's probably a decent reason for his shock.

Go in. But keep extra in mind what he said about watching your back. If you feel the need to get out you can always yell and he'd probably pull you back. There IS an escape IF you want it.

It might help to close your eyes. Feeling your way through a tunnel will make you more aware of its size, and reassure you of just where the tunnel walls are.

I like the idea of crawling in and then back out. Get comfortable with the feeling of the tunnel, knowing you can easily back out any time if you need to. Once you feel safe, press on forward!

>Crawl in briefly in and out to prove you won't get stuck
>Feel the way through

You crawl, the only way you can fit in there is by both extending your arms and laying down on the floor: at all times your arms, back, abdomen are touching both sides of the walls, ceiling and floor respectively, you can’t even bend your shoulders lightly
Despite this you are able to move: you can’t lift your legs at all but you can push yourself further in, the metal feels cold to the touch, but luckily the only exposed part touching it is your tail and hands whenever you hold onto the walls
You confirmed, you can fit fully inside, but just barely, you move out

>You can always yell and he'd probably pull you back:
>Go feet in first, so that you are always looking out of the hole and don't feel so confined

Enesen might be able to pull you back but he can't go inside, at most he could reach his arm length, hmmm...
You decide to go feet in first: not only are you familiar with the environment you see as you move backwards, but coupled with the previous idea: you can use the hose as a lifeline!

You explain this plan to Enesen

Enesen: Alright lassie, I'm not sure how far of a crawl it is, but if I got to see the other end with a flashlight it can’t be too far
You grab onto the "hose", Enesen grabs the other end

Enesen: Got it, so if you get stuck and you need me to pull you back in, hold onto that and pull twice and ill reel you back slowly
Enesen: And if something goes wrong, and you need me to pull you in as hard as i can just pull thrice or more times, right?

You nod and start crawling in again, this time feet first

Enesen: What we need is something to fix the wires, something conductive, guess we could always peel up the microwave cable but we don’t have anything for that-
...

>Get comfortable with the feeling of the tunnel

You feel this tunnel, the floor, the walls pressing around you, and now also the "hose"
Now you lay down and crawl backwards, the sight of an ominous darkness is replaced by the sight of the cafeteria floor which you recognize, and of Enesen holding onto the rope
You move backward, rather squeeze backward, you can't lift your legs, you feel the "uphill" part, this is tiring, really tiring

You can no longer see Enesen, or the cafeteria, this is definitely longer than you though, you stop to rest for a moment before continuing
And on the next push you feel the wall pressing against your back, you hold onto the floor and try pushing yourself, you feel like using the “hose”

But you can feel it: your legs are now free, with one last push more and more of yourself is free, the moment your head is out you breath in, and sit down

You made it through, without fears becoming overwhelming, or getting stuck, you feel accomplished

Now to this room, there is no air current here either, Enesen was right, there's alot of random cables in here, upon closer examination they seem to be extension cords

One in particular is obscenely large, and all tangled up; why would anyone need something like this in here? And how do you allow it to tangle like that?
But you don’t need it, let alone you doubt you could pass that through the vent, atleast this tangled up, you check the other boxes in here, there’s so many of them

Hmm, more extension cords, more tangled cables...
You start finding boxes with toiletries: toothbrushes, toothpaste
Some have tampons, others have toilet paper, single-use shampoo bags
…

This is definitely not a “workshop” it’s a storeroom of sorts
Rummaging through one of the cable boxes you find something

A roll of electrical tape! This should be enough, you’ve handled this enough in your job to differentiate it from duct tape, duct tape isn’t a good conductor- but this is!

You obtained: Electrical Tape
You close the box you found it in, you find a nearby box of “gauze” it’s empty, not only that it’s been torn open
One of the boxes has a note labelled “femhyg 150” there’s just more menstrual hygiene products

But beside that note, there’s a note with a crude drawing, followed by more boxes with writing, there’s nothing inside these boxes but assorted toiletries

You have what you came for, you can go in again, you feel like you could crawl facing forward this time: you’ve went through this entire thing, as narrow as it is the hardest parts are near the end.

...
Something fell over on the far corner of the room
It looks like there’s just more boxes and shelves in there-

But this makes you notice, the “hose” you are holding to, is coming from that part of the room, why was it going through the vent?

This room is odd.. Unless you are missing something, either this room has no door or it’s somewhere on the far end
But the way it’s positioned, then it wouldn’t lead to the hall if that’s the case...

Pick up something besides the tape? Things in here don’t seem to have much use, though, and:

A) Go back to Enesen, with the tape
B) Go towards the source of the noise
C) Try to find and use the exit of this room
D) Try something else

Inventory:
Fork, Mirror, Electrical Tape, Carton of Cigarettes, Broken Glasses, Film

On hands: “Hose”, Lighter

Investigate the noise. Maybe it was just a mouse. Finding out the noise came from something not scary will help you to feel more confident.

Also, try to use the exit to this room. Maybe getting some distance from Ensign will clear the environment you're in to something less scary.

Also why is "hose" in quotes? Is it a hose or not?

>>1075612
It's not a hose. It's another extension Cord. Just blue. There's even some above the shelving. This ones probably just obscenely long too.
I'd say A. Enesen hasn't REALLY given us any reason to distrust him outside of being a bit paranoid.

Can you go back to Enesen? I thought he was through the vent. Why isn't the "hose" going through the vent? Do you follow the vent back to Enesen, or do you follow the "hose?"

Investigate the noise.

>Also why is "hose" in quotes? Is it a hose or not?

Is it a hose? you ask yourself, hoses you're familiar with are certainly thicker, if this is a cable then it was missing the connector part back at the start, you've also come to mention this is reminiscent of arteries, is it an artery?

Enesen called this place a "workshop" why? you can figure a possible answer can be that the little he saw through the vent was cables, and he figured it must have been a workshop

You however, who is inside this place figure it's closer to what seems to be a storage, there's just assorted items like toiletries and hygiene products in bulk, and of course boxes and cables

You’re not sure what other descriptors you could give to this thing that you are holding, it’s flexible, rubbery, blue, characteristics that can be found on a hose, a cable, an artery, among other things

>Can you go back to Enesen? I thought he was through the vent. Why isn't the "hose" going through the vent? Do you follow the vent back to Enesen, or do you follow the "hose?"

Certainly you can right?, you remember moving like this:

First there were 2 doors leading to "CARDIOLOGY", and you entered the door on the right, leading into a dark hallway, you followed Enesen through a door he called "Ninety-Four", this is a large hospital, but you find hard to believe it having at the very least 94 different rooms in a single floor, then again it looks like he has been going around this place for a while.

The room lead to the cafeteria, where you found a vent, crawling through it you reached this place, meaning it connects the cafeteria, where Enesen is and this- storage

You first found this hose on the cafeteria floor, one of the ends is still there, and the other should be somewhere in here

So yes, the hose is still going through the vent, but also the rest of it leads deeper into this room; it's rather large for whatever this is

>Investigate the noise
>Also, try to use the exit to this room

You move towards where the noise came from, it's still dark in here, you move carefully as to not step or trip on anything on the floor and you find something: an empty bottle of
...

"Hoof Putty"
What the hell is hoof putty? You find the name oddly funny for some reason, the bottle is empty but smells a bit like mint
There's a knocked over, metallic shelf and there's a door!
Hmmm-
That should have made a loud noise when it fell, so it probably was like that before you got in here, and it's blocking the door
You figure: the shelf probably fell at some point, blocking the entrance, and this bottle of
"Hoof Putty" here probably fell over from some box or this shelf, and was the source of the noise, despite the weird writing you find it came from a reasonable place, you feel calm

You think you can move this shelf: it will take some time and physical effort, but you can pull it enough to open the door behind, perhaps this door leads back to the hallways

What else is in here?

More boxes of toiletries, nothing you hadn't seen before, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary products, hmm no wet wipes

There's a large box in here, the other end, aww- there's some dolls in here, of various species: Fennec, Cat, Giraffe, Horse, Alligator-

And that one kinda looks like Rosa, it even has a coat

This... seems too strange, that looks like Malcolm's neck brace, that's way too specific for a doll, or are you looking too much into it? and that one on the left looks like

You...?- no no that can't be right, maybe it's not you, it might as well be your mom; yet it doesn't have a bun, the clothes and accessories seem on point, save for the Cat, the cat is wearing a long, white patient’s gown

The box is labelled "Belongings: Rina Birdwright"

You come closer, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about them, they're just dolls, the rest of this box only has shredded papers and tangled up cables

Well... you could try to untangle that obscenely large mass to find out what it's connected to, you're not sure if this would lead to any finding, you've digged through the box and there's nothing but cables, dolls and shredded paper, you follow the end and see the other end is connected to-

Itself? You follow through it again, it’s hard to see in the dark, but it seems at a point it enters some sort of loop wherein you can’t follow back into the end you’re holding

Maybe it’s the darkness playing tricks, with the mass you continue exploring the room

There's a table in here, and a note:

"The house of love"

In this room and in these chambers
I have gathered all my friends
Some may deeply hate each other
Some are better kept away

The rooms are all connected
From the ceiling to the floor
Notice which are disconnected
Foes and friends don't get along

Someone awful in the middle
None of them have come to hate
Keep them locked to solve this riddle
And above i lie in wait

There's some sort of map taped to this table, it shows the layout of what seems to be a building with 4 rooms that connect through hallways
And one room in the middle, disconnected from the rest of it

-
What... this is a piece of paper taped onto a table, there's nothing below this table, there's nothing seemingly wrong with these dolls other than what they look like

You don't see how placing these in a certain position on this map would change anything in this room or give you any amount of information- you could even escape through the door by moving the shelf, or go back into the vent to the cafeteria with Enesen

You assign numbers to these rooms, and the room in the center

You could still try to place these dolls in these rooms

Try a combination? Which?

You could also try going out the door in this room, aside from the shelf nothing is stopping you, other than it will take some time to move, and will probably be tiring
You can still go back to Enesen by going through the vent
Or you can try something else

It would be inaccurate to say you hated Basilio, but he certainly was an unpleasant fellow, very rude. So "you" and "malcom" should probably not be placed on adajcent rooms in the map.

Astrid and Daley do not get along, since Astrid does not trust Daley, nor appreciate her messes. Does that count as "hatred?" Best to keep the alligator and the giraffe separate too.

There is the Horse, and "Malcom" which must be him and his mother, who do not hate each other, so those dolls can be adjacent. Similarly Daley cared about Rosa being hurt, so the Giraffe and "Rosa" can be adjacent. "You" can probably be adjacent to any, except perhaps Basilio, and you also shouldn't be adjacent to a Rabbit doll since Clarice is scared of you because she's scared of your mother. There is no Rabbit doll, so it's only "Basilio" your doll must be kept away from.

Who is the Fennec? You haven't met a Fennec yet, have you? Perhaps they're the awful one who none of you have yet come to "hate."

>>1076958
You agree that Basilio/Malcolm is certainly very unpleasant to be around, you've wouldn't want that jerk to be anywhere close to you, maybe you don't hate him, that's your choice, but he also seems to have a poor opinion on you, and he seems to be a complete jerk to the nurses back there

Hmm true Astrid has really strong opinions on Daley, she claims she keeps messing with her belongings, and that "you can trust her as far as you can throw her" also Daley refuses to give her the password or teach her how to use the work computer, it clearly doesn't belong to her,
You're unsure if this is just one party acting up: you haven't heard Daley's side of the story yet but certainly they don't get along at all

As for a Fennec, well Rosa is a Fox, you didn't see her for a long time but, she does look like a fennec fox, it also has black hair and ear fluff and a labcoat; and yes it seems Daley cares for Rosa as she personally went out to look for her

No there doesn't seem to be a rabit doll you're right, but if there was you'd certainly kept it away from Malcolm, there is only one horse in here and it has a neck brace

So what you have seems to be:

Alligator: Astrid
Giraffe: Daley
Horse with Neck Brace: Malcolm
Fennec Fox, Grey eyes: Rosa
Cat: You, or your mom

>>1076960

Oh I thought the Fennec and "Rosa" were separate puppets. And um, the Horse and "Malcom". Thanks.

Try in order of the numbers in the 4 corners "Malcom," Giraffe, "Rosa," and Alligator, with "You" in the middle.

>>1076979
Alternatively, swap "Rosa" and "You." If that doesn't work, I don't know.

Take the Hoof Putty and add it to your inventory. Then try moving the metal shelf and going through the door.

1Rosa 2Daley 3Astrid 4Malcolm, Cat in the middle. Are you sure you don't have antlers, maybe check in the mirror.
Looking back there sure has been a lot of people going missing, silent etc. wonder if they are still alive.

This works!
You lay the dolls in this position over the blueprint
...

Nothing happens.
This should be it, you don't see anything wrong with this position.
>>1076981
>Switching your doll here with Rosa also seems to “work”
But nothing happens

These are dolls, and this is a blueprint, you're not sure if something is supposed to happen, maybe it’s not something to solve but rather something it’s telling you?

Whoever wrote this, either did it before that shelf blocking the way collapsed, or is around your flexibility and size to get through that vent
More than that, it seems to call either you, or whoever this cat doll is supposed to be or Rosa awful
This seems familiar
Who says Rosa an awful person?
There was a writing on the wall, on the floor above that also seems to agree
If your theory that what's written on the walls are things people said in the given location

Who would say that?

Antlers? Cats shouldn't have any antlers, you check yourself using the mirror, even moving aside your hair, there doesn't seem anything resembling that
Phew

>>1078243
You pocket the can of Hoof Putty, whatever that is, maybe a nurse would know or anyone with hooves
Your current inventory:
Lighter, Pocket Mirror, Can of "Hoof Putty", Fork, Cigarettes, Piece of film, Broken Glasses, Electrical Tape

You move aside the shelf

With the shelf that had been blocking the exit moved, you have a direct route into the hallway
You are still holding to that cable and Enesen is still waiting
You got the Electrical Tape, which seems to be what Enesen can use to fix that Radio; no signs of any food in here either
And also you have his Lighter, meaning if you exit through here, he'd have little to no visibility to navigate the hallways, take that as you will

Go back (through the vent) with Enesen?

or

Go into the hallways without him?

Go back

"And above I lie in wait." has me thinking we might not find out if we've solved this probably unless we managed to find a way up to another floor. Either that or something above us will fall down.

Might be good to head back with the electrical tape for now. If we have to come back and rearrange the dolls later, maybe we'll have better insight on things when we come back.

Can't leave the poor man in the dark.

>>1098455
Go back to Enesen, tell him you unblocked the door and give him the stuff he wants.
