You are inside some kind of a box.
White light is coming from some kind of a lit button, as for the blue one... its coming from some kind of an object standing out from the wall, it has smooth surface and easily fit in your palm.

Push button. Pull object.

In case you wake up:

-DONT TRY CALLING FOR HELP

Well you don't seem to have much choice here so, dial the number with the cellphone, see what's up.

Is it an automated female voice or a real voice, if real, you can talk to her.

Try calling the police.

Try talking, just in case it's a real person pretending to be an automated voice.

It doesn't have any kind of phone number on it, there is just a list (in multiple languages) of stuff that went into making this highly unhealthy product...

Try knocking on the ceiling of whatever it is you're inside of. If somebody answers, just say, "Hey, the number's out."

Eat the Twink snack while trying to remember how you got into this situation.

Eat that highly unhealthy product. Gotta fill out those garters in case you have to seduce your way out of this situation.

After eating, try and call out to see if anyone's around. If not, move around some and see if there's any points in the box that could be weakened, like a spot where it's screwed together or something.

Honestly the note says we shouldnt be trying to get out. I would ASSUME this is because there are horrible death things standing around outside the box or something equally terrifying.
Wait a few minutes, redial. Keep doing this for a while, and if no results come of it after about an hour or so, then we can start prodding at stuff

There was a feline appearance behind the mask, actually. Definitely feline ears.
Ready a defensive stance, but ask if it's friendly. Frightened voice is a-ok to use here.

Naming Scheme appears to be consistent with various Classic Rock songs, right now we have two females with a Gunz n Roses song name and a male with a Beatle's song name, only time will prove if the naming will be consistent. As far as I can tell, Dusty Merman is not a song, which either means it has no owner or non-allied characters get other naming schemes, assuming Garter will eventually be allies with Becky and Pointy Hair.

Defend yourself, if this thing is hostile and can go through solid objects you're in a bind if it goes into the box!

>>573973
Tell it to stay back. It could easily enter your coffin and do harm to you where you couldn't fight back. Protect your body!

>>573987

Protecting your body is most important. Maybe try to lead it away from where you are?

Either way, I think it's hostile.

We don't know that is a threat to our body, and we don't know we can keep it from our body.

And unless it has some kind of special body sense, it won't know our body, or anything important, is in the trunk until we tell it.

Therefore, the smart thing to do is to not give away our vulnerability. Warning it off or taking a defensive stance tells it we something to defend. We try to talk to it, and we only move to defend ourselves if it looks like we have to.

Well, if you can interact with physical objects, you need to search for the key, then.

Check behind the mirror, in the cabinet under the tub, the shirt on the floor, inside the reservoir for the toilet.

And check out that weird pulsing thing stuck to the wall.

Don ye dark leather apparel. Or whatever dark material it is. Pockets can be a good thing, and if you're going to be a pink rabbit who can punch people out, style's a must.

He replies that he would kill for smoke himself, but alas he dont have any kind of light...

So you need a name. How about Piege (hehe) for an alias.

Ask him if he has trouble remembering stuff. (Is "Fishy State" always on or do you need to summon your phantasm for it to be active?)

Ask if he's run into anything dangerous around here. After all, we just had a freak of nature try and kill us earlier, so it'd be better if we stuck together.

>>574351

"So what are you doing around these parts? I didn't figure there'd be alot of good lookers around."
While you have no idea who he is we might be able to figure out something about him and this place we're in with enough questions and flirting. Mostly need to know about this place.

Also once he replies we should see how he'd react to a phantom.

I think it's before the last chapter, considering that the NEEDLESSLY EXPENSIVE GRANOLA BAR is still in the machine. But since there isn't a third snack in the machine, it's safe to assume that the person who screamed had already bought something, meaning that it's not us. But still, let's check it out.

Well, that was... an experience. Also, the fact that he knows about Fishy State means that we get it in other timelines as well. Dunno if that's important.

Either way, we should leave the cards where they are and head down the fire escape ladder to the LOST AND FOUND. I mean, it would've been nice to know why he had blood on his left hand, but hey, pants are a close second.

That's good to know.

We've also learned it can be applied to yourself, though. That's potentially useful, in the right situation. (Say, if you use it on things that you have a hard time facing or accepting, rather than those that you don't know).

It also protects us from accidentally demanding someone tell us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and subsequently going mad from the revelation.

On a more serious note, we now know that stands phantasms can affect their own masters too, so keep that in mind as we start dealing with more dangerous individuals like Harry here.

Well we weren't trying to go outside the hotel, we're trying to get to the next floor.

Stepping outside sounds like it may be dangerous, but even if it is, it's still mist. It'll take a while before it causes any harm, you can be out and in before anything happens.

We could probably explore the outside safely if we sent our phantasm to do it. Of course, that means leaving our body helpless while we go walkabout.

Best plan might be if we could get the scared girl to trust us. Then she could lock your body safely inside with her while we took Rocket Queen for a spin in the mist.

Well, if we got her to say that with fishy state (did we?) that's tantamount to her admitting she isn't what she seems, either.

Thank her for the warning, and say goodbye to the closed door.

Let's finish exploring this area before we mess with the outside. Are any of the other doors in this stretch of hall unlocked?

All the door exept the one you came through and the one leading to the fire escape are locked or jammed with black foam (room 609)... there is an electricity box on the north wall next to the room 607 (you decide to not mess with it for now)...

You proceed forward to the fire escape... as you approach the door you see some kind of bird sitting outside on the window-sill...

>>575492
Examine it, but keep a safe distance from the glass just in case.

Nothing here is what it seems. Wait for it to go away, or be ready for combat immediately once you open the door.

The bird itself look very unnatural... like its a made of clay... it turns its head rotating it full 360 degree...

You hear faint sound flapping wings... its gradually becomes louder... but the fog obscures your view...

Get away from that window!

Swat them like flies. Stand in one spot and just smack them out of the sky as they get near you.

Hmm. We'll have to find something to patch the window with, after we've dealt with our attackers. Or else this floor will fill with mist and who knows what.

The barrage of ghost punches appears to be uneffective against birds!!!

They are too small and fast to place a good hit... they read slightest movements of the air... its like trying to punch a leave.

Your previous target was literally a fish out of water...

So far you can only keep defending like that.

>Hmm. We'll have to find something to patch the window with, after we've dealt with our attackers. Or else this floor will fill with mist and who knows what.

The mist is already seeping inside the hallway... this cant be good.

Have rocket queen screech the birds to death!

You need something to catch them with before you can pummel them. Start dashing back towards your room to get the shower curtain!

Well, if we had something to patch the hole with, I'd suggest having Rocket Queen hold them off while we went to work. But we don't, unfortunately.

Fall back, though the set of double doors.

You manage to reach bathroom...

You shut the door behind yourself... and keep it closed.

You feel the birds hammering door from other side...

What now?

Put on that jacket and check the pockets.

>>575598
Turn on all the water you can, if those birds are made of clay splashing them with water might saturate them and make them slow enough to be hit.

>>575600

Water sounds like a good idea. And if we need to, we can soak the jacket to make it heavier and use it as a net to catch birds. Once we make sure there's nothing useful in the pockets.

>>575598
Wrap the jacket around your waist like a kilt. Also check pockets.
Use rocket to grab the curtain first, we're gonna get us a bag full of nice squishy bird monsters to smack to death.

>>575605
That's not a bad idea. The jacket or shower curtain could be used as a net by Rocket Queen.

Not sure if the splashing will have much effect, though. Just because their bodies are malleable like clay, doesn't mean they share other properties. They're made of white mist ghost stuff, right? (Although, for all we know, that's affected by water. Mist is water, after all).

Birds evaporated in the puff of smoke... several of them that managed to escape the net also disappeared as soon as the main pack was destroyed.

>Put on that jacket and check the pockets.

Ughhh... no... this thing is covered in blood.

Now use sheet on window to protect hotel from mist

I don't think we have any way of affixing the thing to the window. If there's any way to wedge the curtain in there it'd work though.

It's about time to descend down the fire escape either way.

get her to tell up what's going on so we aren't defenseless when it pops up. feel free to explain what happened to you, to her

>>575724
Alternatively try and convince her the mist is leaking in and if need be, use rocketgirl to open the door. She probably has a phantom too and might get aggressive but it'll be for her own good. Beg her if you need to but you two need out if the mist is that bad.

On another note our last adventure didn't have the mist on the fire escape right? I wonder what's up with that.

-"Its me Sal."

Vicky
-"Oh... you are still alive..."

Vicky went quiet...

>>575729
Tell her that if she's so terrified of these Angels, she should get out here and help you!

If she still doesn't want to help, can your phantasm can punch some little holes above and below the door? Then you can stuff the corners of the curtain into them to cover up the hole.

After a moment of silence

Vicky
-"(sob) I cant... go away!(sob) Just go..."

>If she still doesn't want to help, can your phantasm can punch some little holes above and below the door?

All this whining really start to piss you off...

A)Should you just punch your way through. (Its been helpfull so far...)
B)Leave her to be. (possibly avoiding more whining...)

B) Let's not antagonize her any more. Just tell her that you don't think the angels are the most dangerous thing in this hotel...

Oh! Before you leave ask if she has any tape so you can tape the shower curtain on the window.

>>575734
If you leave, she may kill herself, which will surely create even more timelines of her whining. If you help her through her fear, at least in this timeline, she will grow a spine.

That's something, right?

Punch punch!

C) ...apologize. You're sorry you lashed out, you're just angry about what happened.

Show a little understanding. She says something ripped her phantasm away from her. Like she died, lost a part of her soul. She's kind of messed up right now.

...maybe ask who her phantasm was. (Maybe we'll find it someday? Who knows if they can be rescued, once taken).

Ask if there's any tape or nails or anything in her room she could slide out past the chain so you could get this window sealed up. Or if she knows where you could find some.

B)
When we are this annoyed, entering the room with her will just make things worse.

>Heck no! Why should i be the one to apologise?!
Because you're getting mad a terrified victim who had something bad happen to her for being to afraid to help herself, or you. Hating people for their weakness or for being hurt or afraid is cruel and beneath you.

She did try and warn you, before. Yes, she could have let you in. But she was too hurt and afraid to even talk to you without a chain in the way, before. Why was she suddenly going to let you in? Much less the bunch of monsters chasing you? Maybe it would have been the right thing to do, but that's a damn awful lot to expect from a terrified victim with barely any time to trust build.

And from a selfish self-interest point of view: if you want her to be useful, you need to build her back up, not break her down. It's to your own advantage.

And geeze, stop it with the ridiculous 80s Marty McFly response to apologies. There's nothing wrong with saying you're sorry you hurt someone. I mean, seriously, you're mad, but you didn't want to make her cry, did you? Therefore you're sorry you made it happen.

I still think taking a deep breath, letting your anger seep away, die down (you can totally choose not to be angry, as hard as it seems, sometimes) and do this. >>575740

If you're too pig-headed to reach out, then back off. Which leaves her to suffer and cry and means she probably won't be willing to reach out later, and trapped behind the mist in the hall until something gets her. But it's better than attacking her, or punching holes for the mist to come in and kill her right away. (Why would you only choices be killing her fast and killing her slowly, anyways. That's just terrible).

She's being overly melodramatic about this, and besides which, if the angels chase after Phantasms, then she probably will be left alone from now on. Besides which, WE'RE the ones with a Phantasm, not her, so we'll be targetted first. If she wants to continue being whiny we can show her to our locker of safety she can stay in, because we need to DO something about this mist!

>You need one more push
Look, you need someone to help you. I need someone who knows more than I do about the crazy stuff going on here, and to watch my back.

You survived what happened to you before. You kept me from walking outside into an ambush. It's hard, but there are ways we can get through this stuff. Maybe there's a way you can get back at what the angel did to you. Maybe you can help me or someone else from having that happen. There are things you can do, that's better than staying in there are letting the fog from that broken window trap you behind that door.

Look, I found this sheet to cover it up, at least. Is there any nails or tape or anything in your room? Or do you know where any are? You've been awake at at this longer than I have, already.

You could also point out you met a time traveler. That means there's hope- something to believe in. There's a future there to be reached, things we need to do that haven't been done yet. That you will do.

Who were you before the hotel, Vicky? A stronger woman? Just as scared and nervous? This corner, this room won't protect you forever. Only you can. If you were strong, or knew somebody strong from before the hotel, you need to summon that power again Vicky. From your dad, brother, mother, best friend, or past you. It's there and you can get it. You need the power to survive Vicky, and we all have it.

If we wanted to try and cheat, we could use fishy state to force he to tell us (and herself) why she's worth believing in. Of course, that might not be the best idea. If she doesn't believe it, she'll just reinforce that. Maybe something better tried after the one liner, to bolster it?

Guys, I don't think we should use fishy state on her right now. She'd know she's under its influence, which means she'd think that we didn't trust her. So we definitely SHOULDN'T use fishy state right now. Plain old words are the best.

Tell her something like this: "Look, Vicky. Phantasm or no, I NEED your help right now to patch this window."
