Glass->grass. It changed the letter. Looks like the dial determines how similar the resulting object is(similar to a certain SCP). Try 4 or 5 to see if you can get a different drink out of it without turning it into something inedible.

Tell her you're just experimenting. Why, is there a way to get specific things? You'd like a different drink.

Actually, it might be because cows turn grass into milk. If we turned the dial to 4 or 5 would produce a steak? An entire cow? Raw milk or the half-digested cud that cows store in their stomach, depending on if it was 4 or 5? Would a 7 produce dirt? Grass seeds? The possibilities are endless, as long as you're only looking backward in time. There's only so much you can do with milk, though, so let's stop for now.

>Actually. Come to think of it. Have you asked anybody else in your family about your uncle, or his house? Did you even tell anybody you were going?

No, and no. You don’t usually talk to your family, and you’ve nobody that would miss your presence. You had no friends before coming here, and you’re convinced that your family only invites you to family gatherings because it’s no longer socially acceptable to torment wild animals for entertainment.

>I suppose the dial indicates degrees of separation? 1 would exchange a glass of milk for a different glass of milk, while 3 makes a jug of milk, similar, and 6 makes a fistful of grass, far removed.

Interesting theory.

>Glass->grass. It changed the letter. Looks like the dial determines how similar the resulting object is(similar to a certain SCP).

Another interesting theory. But where does the ‘of Milk’ go?

>Try 4 or 5 to see if you can get a different drink out of it without turning it into something inedible.
>Further testing required (when not hosting guests) but we can rule out the echo chamber simply making more of whatever substance is in it. Actually this makes sense, if it is about echoing further and further back through an item's history. If that is true then one of the settings between 3 and 6 should turn milk into cow (maybe don't test that right now)

All interesting ideas, certainly something to test. You’re a bit reluctant to try now, though. Wouldn’t want to spook your potential new friend.

>The echo chamber makes things? You were just testing it, to see how it functioned. Ask Gretchen if she wants to echo chamber anything, before heading home for the evening (because apparently it's become quite late?)
>All that to say, I don't think your going to get a non-milk drink out of it. Ask Gretchen if she would like a go at it.

:kpwlt_gretchen: “I’m sure there must be a way to get specific things out of it, it’s just that nobody knows how to. You know what,”

She pulls out what looks to be some kind of agonised green bouncy ball.

:kpwlt_gretchen: “Kaspar made this. He said he made it while trying to ‘conceptually exploit the machine’. What did he call it again?”

She puts the tormented spheroid into the box and switches the dial to 2.

After the device does its thing, there are two of the things inside. She takes them out, one in each hand, stuffs one into her pocket, and places one in your false palm.

:kpwlt_gretchen: “Now we can both have one!”

Gretchen now gives you a friendly wave.

:kpwlt_gretchen: “Well, thanks for having me over! Hope to see you again soon! Speaking of, there should be a calendar on your computer with some local events on it. We always go to ‘em. You should come to some!”

You thank Gretchen for coming over and helping you with the box.

You swear this wasn’t there before, but Gretchen goes to a relatively distant train platform, at which there is a train waiting. She boards the train, which departs promptly.

You keep looking at the platform, wondering how and when it got there. After a while, it sort of dawns on you that you’ve just been staring at nothing all along. You haven’t blinked or looked away, and the platform didn’t disappear. It just isn’t there.

I've had that sorta happen with screen changes. Like, I'll be looking at the page, waiting for it to load, and suddenly I'll realize it's already loaded, presumably during a saccade, and my brain never flagged my view as having changed.

Anyway. Uh, mess with the echo machine? Investigate the well? Do you feel tired? Seems like an awfully short day, but you do you, I guess. Maybe you could read some more of those books.
>>
No. 1091489 ID: 8f9bc4

It's probably only there when the train is. You'll have to get a train schedule if you want to take a trip. A little concerning is that you've been staring at nothing, so the train platform wasn't there at the same time that it was. Maybe just... not think about that too much right now.

Anyway, Kaspar seems like a tricksy fellow. He managed to create an inert rubber ball that still experiences emotional distress! Is there some way to separate and refine torment from the tormented, and combine it impossibly with base matter? Wait, where did Kaspar find someone who was tormented?

You might want to be wary of this "Kaspar."

Update 13: The Sinister & Unlucky Update

>You might want to be wary of this "Kaspar."

Yes indeed! I was never really a fan of Kaspar myself, between you and me. Anyway, what you’ve been hearing about Kaspar has sort of painted him as a weird fellow in your mind, so you’ll be aware whenever you see him.

>But hey, Gretchen seems nice. It's good to have a potential friend in a place like this.

You do like Gretchen. Even if she seems a little put off by some of your antics, she does seem like she genuinely wants to be friends with you.

>Uh, mess with the echo machine?
>Huh, the 2 setting duplicates the item? Seems like our guesses weren't quite right. Perhaps each setting has a unique effect.

Maybe. Or…
You put one of the balls back in the Echo Chamber, and set it to 7. Just to test a theory.

When the smoke clears, there are 7 little green bouncy balls in the box.

I wonder if the days get longer as you go on. This day technically isn’t over yet, it only will be once you go upstairs?

>Is the study still a mess? Might as well tidy up while you've got nothing else going on.

You will once you go upstairs. You won’t go upstairs yet because you’ve still got some day to enjoy. I think.

Alright. You head down to the basement and decide to go down the well first. You won’t go into the Lethe yet because it gives you the heebie jeebies and you still haven’t reconciled the part where you forget everything you know with a desirable outcome yet.

You jump a bit when the door of Limitless Space slams shut behind you, but you bravely carry on.

You find a little knob in the rock formation and tie a spare tentacle to it. You can retract or untie this tentacle at any time. This tentacle is long, but it’s not infinitely long. If you don’t have this tentacle tied here, you will still be able to pull yourself up from the well as long as you are standing under the opening.

You hop down the well and fall for a few seconds, before slamming against the bottom. If you had bones, they would probably be broken. You find yourself on a floor, and surrounded by walls, that are made from a material not unlike some form of skin stretched over bone. If you (you you, not Rose you) run your tongue along your gums, or the roof of your mouth, that is how i would best describe it to you. It isn’t completely wet in here though, just a little damp in spots.

Picking yourself up, you notice that you have two paths ahead of you. One looks to slope up, the other goes down. Both bear signs.

The downward path’s sign seems as though it had once read “SURFACE-LEVEL HELLBENDER LAIR”. However, someone has clearly crossed this out. The sign now reads “SURFACE-LEVEL HELLBENDER LAIR”. Curious.

The upwards leading path’s sign clearly states “AQUIFER - VERY FAR”.

Both signs have, in smaller, darker, stencilled writing, “W.O.L.A.N.D” near the bottom.

Might be good to get some actual rope to use to climb in and out of this well. You can't really explore further if you're still hanging onto the top of it.

>How could it be surface level if it's below the surface?

It’s possible that this terminology just means that it’s near the surface.

>Might be good to get some actual rope to use to climb in and out of this well. You can't really explore further if you're still hanging onto the top of it.

No need. The well isn’t deep or wide enough to prevent you from climbing out easily. The only reason you’d need a rope is to mark where you’ve already been and there are better ways to do that.

Aquifer doesn’t sound bad but yeah, it’s best to check near paths rather than far ones for now.

You head down the descending path. It doesn’t feel like you are descending, even though it looks to descend quite steeply.

You enter a small cavern with several collapsed tunnels leading into it. Several large lizard looking things lie in various stages of death and decay. The more mutilated of them even have little, uh, little stone fellows near them.

That would indeed explain it.

You hope they didn’t make the wounds. If they took down those lizards they could probably take down you.

Aw, come on. You’ll wash your tentacles when you get back.

What a cute little fella! You hold it for a while with just one tentacle to make sure it won’t beat you to death or lacerate you or anything and then grab onto it properly.

Whenever you turn it away from you, you can feel that something inside it is wiggling to try to turn around to face you again.

At one point while holding the fellow you nonchalantly look directly into the small indent on its upper portion. You are immediately filled with intense fear and hatred. You struggle for breath as steel introduces itself to your lungs and hearts. Your head is split to make way for the hands of an unknown interloper.

You cast the little fellow across the room and make yourself as small as possible in the corner. You make sure that you are still actually fully intact. You still are. What an odd thought.

Yeah, seems like they’re pretty harmless.

>Lungs and hearts? Do you have more than one of those?

Yes, you have two lungs (one pair of lungs) and three hearts. You aren’t sure whether that’s also true for the Hellbender.

>I think you just relived the last memory of the Hellbender that this guy came out of! Observe that it was stabbed, and its head split.

Yes, indeed. I wonder if you could figure out exactly how everything unfolded from these. You also wonder where the little fella came out of, as in, where he was in the Hellbender. Supposedly in the head, but then where would the Hellbender’s brain be?

>I guess loot the swords and go back home. This is probably enough adventuring for the night.

Alright.

You yank the sword (singular) out of the Hellbender corpse and retract your tentacle lifeline, making sure to hit as many walls as possible on the way out. The way you exit the well would easily deceive any onlooker that what happened in the well was a lot cooler than what actually transpired there.

As you leave the Room of Limitless Space, you hear what could have been the sound of scurrying just obscured by the autonomous slamming of the door. It sounded to have come from the Storage Space, though quite close to the Pool Room.

A good thought, but one that may have to be put on hold for now. Try to remember to do this at some point, ok?

>mental note: set up some mouse trap, ferment the jug of milk to conjure the trap cheese

If your hunt doesn’t provide any results, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

>what's up with this kaspar guy, his water undrinkable, resurrection device confounding.

Kaspar seems like a bit of an odd character. He also apparently has an alchemy lab?

>it makes sense that your uncle owned a memory wiping tool. no man can live sane with infinite tales of life in one body.

The thing is, though, you’re not sure that your uncle was sane in the first place. And where he was getting infinite tales of life, you don’t know.

You grab an almost nonexistent ankle with a vicious tentacle and drag the thing kicking and screaming across the floor to you.

A squat, rodential creature clad in a red cotton top and blue denim shorts. It takes one glance at the bloodied sword in your hands and starts crying for mercy. In a flash of pity, or perhaps shock, you loosen your grasp on its leg and it scrambles away.

As it turns to take one last look at you before vanishing under the cupboard, you see the glint of some sort of blade in its mouth.

You try to reason with the little guy, but he seems to be giving you the silent treatment at present moment. You also don’t bring up any sort of money agreement, since you despise the idea of being a landlord.

>"What do you have? A knife?"

This gets a response, albeit a nonverbal one.

He extends the little knife, while maintaining a white-knuckle grip on it. He then takes it back and throws out several little bits of chopped up wood as if to give an explanation.
