Countless hours have passed. Our feet have gone sore from all the walking. I'm not even sure where we are on these stairs.

After another few hours, we finally see light. "Maybe we can finally rest!" that's a thought I imagine crossed both of our minds. We pushed ourselves to make it down the remaining thousand steps... and we entered the HALL once more. Welcome back... audience, don't mind us, we're just a little... exhausted. I think that was a whole week of walking? So it's only to be expected... ha... ha...- oh my feet...- that we'd be a little on the weak side.

>>732756
A keyhole on a door? I suspect this is going to be a stable section of the HALL.

Check behind door number one!

Uh, do you guys need a sec to catch your breath or something? We're willing to wait until you guys rest up.

Good Fucking Evening Andrew, You wonderful little cunt, you!
Do you goddamn mother-fucking know what the hell time it is?
It's time for a cum-stuffed cock-twitching word dicking is what time it is, you little Shit stain!
I'm going to burn the bitch out of your big pussy shit ears until your moaning like a whore, begging me to stop.

I Wanna hear you fucking cursing like a sailor boy.

I Wanna hear you fucking curse, And Like It.

It is time. Let the fuckery begin!

>>732781
ho-ho-hold on there old sport. We can't let Andrew hear such things, please censor all swearing!

>>732782
Lol, good one.
I always knew Santa was a Pimp.

>>732781 Oh my god.

Begin to crawl from on on so that your feet may rest. Wiggle over to the closest door like the worm that you are. Open that door and let whatever lies beyond witness your worminess, even if they may not deserve such a splendorous sight.

Well, take some time and catch your breath, with a total of Three doors to open, I suspect there is a lot more of walking ahead us.

>>732756
An entire WEEK of walking down those stairs? I'm usually winded after walking for just an HOUR. Take some rest, like was suggested earlier, and then you might wanna poke through that first door to your immediate left.

Wew... a whole week? Best take a rest.

Yes, please take a break. I go on walks somewhat regularly but I still get pretty tired after about 3 hours of walk!

A week sounds like torture, could you not stop? A "I must rest but I cannot stop" kind of deal?

(Your numbers seem to fluctuate from time to time, it seems. Usually, there's only one or two of you.)
Cinnamon and I stop and rest. Tell you what, walking for so long you kind of feel like your own bones have started to break. It almost feels as though I've become more fragile. But, as a great man once said, "Don't give up, Skeleton!" ... at least, I believe that's what they said. The look Cinnamon is giving me right now doesn't make me feel so sure of it anymore.

>>732930
Yup, a week. Any moment we stopped we'd hear some sort of heavy breathing behind us. Whatever it was coming from was probably twice the size of us. Needless to say, we seriously pushed ourselves to get down the stairs (though at one point we just started to roll down the stairs instead... probably should've done that first). Gotta say, though, I'm both thirsty and hungry after all that...

>>732801
>>732760
>>732834
I position myself in front of the first door and twist the knob. Nothing. Seems to be locked... I can tell where this is going...

If you guys rolled in the first place, you would've broken something on the way down! Maybe even snapped your necks!

But if you guys are hungry and thirsty, I think one of you has food and water in your inventory. You might want to check, just to be sure.

>>734197
Yo' bitch asses must be exhausted. That's that fragile feelin'. If ya' bones was breakin' you'd fuckin' KNOW that shit. Prop's on bein' that in shape tho' to be able to run like a motha'fucker so much, yo.

But... Speakin of asses tho', were yall some dumbasses and like, not even look back n' shit?

Seriously. Whats Darth Vader's Bastard Child look like? I Got'sta know.

>>734197
Whoever made this room is totally redundant, look at that big lock on the far door! If all these regular doors are locked, then that big door is just rubbing it in our faces.

Regardless, should probably try all the doors eh?

>>734197
How about... door number two!

>>734216
Dude, We are trying to make a high score run here...

>>734197
You Aren't hearing that heavy breathing anymore Right?
Anyway... Do you still have some food to eat? If not, perhaps we should buy a lot more next time we see a merchant.

>>734197
Andrew, I may be a weird floating doll with no tangible currency, but how much are you willing to bet that only that last door with the giant "lock" will be accessible?

Also, do you not need sleep? This is usually the part where you die from the deprivation, but you seem to be just as fine as ever.
Does this have something to do with the bags that are always under your eyes?

[Andrew continues to ignore you, however, you got Cinnamon to chuckle a bit. She seems to be enjoying your work.]

>>734207
Hmm... that's true, I suppose. Wouldn't want to break anything for sure.

Unfortunately, we do not have food. We had forgotten to buy extras for the journey forwards (then again, who could've expected to go through such a long staircase?)

>>734342
We stopped hearing the breathing since we first saw light, but we continued moving just in case. Here's hoping that pays off.

Yeah, probably going to buy some non-perishables when we get the chance. Food seems to be a bit of an issue right now.

>>734542
That sounds likely. Predictable set-up for a mini fetch-quest.

As for sleep... sleep is a weird thing in this place; you don't need it as much as you do food and water. Sometimes I wonder if time is frozen here because I never really get hungry unless I move around a lot.

>>734221
>>734260
We entered the middle door (assuming that's "number two"). The room we entered is rather small. There's some graffiti on the walls, a mannequin, some garbage, and a good ol' letter. I park myself near the letter and open it up.

"I lost something. I don't know what it is, but I lost something.
I felt lighter when I crossed that door. But what did I lose? -Ultra Love (5-49-8652441-6ha5yal6goen7mipec8ho)"

After that, the writing becomes a scrambled mess, with droplets of drool covering the lower right corner.

Grab the key by the butterfly drawing and then rummage through the trash.

Could you tell us what's written on the bottom of the wall? Can't quite make it all out.

Check the trash, we may find something to eat there, for when you really need it.

Also, maybe you could use the Telescope now and see if there is anything strange? That mannequin unsettles me... It's the only thing that has a shadow.

Both of you, make out with the mannequin. See who does it better.

Throw the trash in the little trash bin. We can't leave this place so untidy.

The most obvious course of action would be to take that key... but carefully inspect the dummy next, we don't want another Metal Glen.

>>735986
then make out with eachother.

Either way, go check the trash bins and the mannequin.

The trash doesn't hold anything too interesting. There's a rotting apple, crumpled paper (all blank), and a small paper with a bit of writing on it. "Three locks? Two locks? No no, there's only one, I think. But... where's the big key if there's only one? Hmm... hm...."

>>735985
There's nothing of interest to see from the telescope.

"Sometimes I wonder if we can even die here" the handwriting isn't great, so I understand how you could've missed that.

[With that, Andrew begins to frown at you and Cinnamon awkwardly backs away]

The door was unlocked by the key! Cinnamon and I enter the door and look around. This place has seen better days for sure, huge chunks of the floor are missing! As we're doing some quick scout-work, a metal gate slams in front of the door we came from... Well, no going back, I guess.

Oh look! Another note on the wall, at least I think it is a note? And what appears to be some sort of bloodstains are there too, although it could just be ink, you never know.

What's in the gaps? And can one of you jump over there, who is the better jumper?

>>739871
READ THE NOTE
HUG CINNAMON

Any design or pattern in that which I can only assume to be blood, or does it just look like a gross splatter to you?
Also, as much as this sucks, I'm willing to bet the only way to get out is for one of you to pull that lever. However that's gonna work is totally up to someone else to figure out, though.

The note reads "Two solutions. Outcomes unknown."

There is definitely a bloodstain here. Someone's handprint from the looks of things.

>>740030
>>740055

I could most likely make the jump, but I'm acrophobic. Cinnamon says that she isn't really afraid of heights but probably couldn't make the jump. Should... I jump across then?

>>741691
Well, if you're confident enough to make that leap of faith go for it, man.

Might I suggest having her kneel in front of the gap facing away from it and putting her hands in a step? Then, once she's assumed the position, could you run at her and onto her cupped hands while she throws you over her head across the gap?
Because while that sounds risky and complex I presume that it would be more likely to succeed than just a simple, non-assisted jump.

>>741691
Don't you have a rope in your bag? Can't you just make a lasso and try to rope the lever?

I would guess that those pits only lead to a seemingly endless black void. Is the ceiling a black void too?

Before you do, it may be wise to check the walls and pit for booby traps. That bloodstain didn't make itself.

>>741691
surely there must be a better way. You say you could probably jump it but that's really really far. Try it if you really have no other choice, but there's gotta be something we can use to bridge the gap.

No no, it's a normal ceiling. Perhaps you just have a weird perspective. And I would hope it isn't *endless*... that would be hell.

>>744024
There... really isn't anything I can see that's out of the ordinary. It looks like a standard room, so it might've been a conflict between two or more people.

>>744104
At the moment, I don't think there's much we can do aside from jumping over the gap. Unless you see something, I'll be... crossing this... using "0e5f86"'s idea. ( >>741698 )

Erm... hm... none of you have anything to say that could... help out with the idea of vaulting over a pit like this, would you?

>>744592
Last resort, check in the backpack. I have completely forgotten what's in there, but if there's nothing in there that could help us, take solace in the fact that there seem to be two solutions. Considering that getting across seems to be one, and falling the other. Good luck!

I really don't think this is a good idea! Neither of you have done this before and there are plenty of things that can happen badly if you try to vault it like this!

1. You could trip during your approach and end up tackling Cinnamon, which will send both of you into the pit.

2. You might not jump hard enough or she might not throw you hard enough and you'll not make it to the other side and fall in the pit.

3. She might throw you too hard and it'll get you over to the other side, but she'll lose her balance and she'll fall in the pit.

And in case you haven't noticed, even if you do make it to the other side and neither of you fall in the pit, there's still one big problem. You'll be stuck on the other side. Think about it, you need help just to get to the other side, what makes you think you can make it back without help?

How about this? Get on your hands and knees and slowly reach your hand over the pit and try to feel around for an invisible floor. If that doesn't work, then you can try the crazy suicidal jump over the pit.

A-any ideas?

Leap on to the other side and quickly pull yourself over?

Well I would point out that there was another hidden thing through the door as Cinnamon was walking out, but apparently interacting with hidden stuff is a bad idea so. I guess jump it?

There's blood down there, but whatever!

Or quickly check the room with the telescope first, then do a running jump.

>>746019
Well, if there is no hidden thing with the telescope and you don't wish to make the leap, you can always hold onto the bars for dear life until Cinnamon figures something out

I definitely screwed up.


[Eventually, everything is drowned out by Andrew's screaming...]

No idea if this means that he's done for. But if it does, at least Cinnamon will survive a tad longer.

I dunno if we tiny ghosts can touch stuff but can we all get under him and make him float? Maybe also grab the bag and stone if it works.

I've awoken in a strange place. Something is happening in front of me, but I'm still groggy so it's hard to make out. Whatever it is, it's all making a familiar sound.

>>748107
check for injuries on your chest, weren't you impaled?

Also, check the markings on the floor next to you, does it say 止まれ? I think I know where we might be.

Hmm, are you no longer perfectly flat? You were flat the entire time you were on floor 2, if you hadn't noticed. Maybe you just dreamed that, and this is the real floor 2? Hmm, no, you're missing your bag.

Looks more like you're not in the Hall at all anymore. Check yourself for injuries then try to shake off the fog so that you can see what's going on. Check your inventory while you're at it- you have pockets. Also I suspect that "street" behind you is fake, and is actually a wall.

>>748107
Holy shit! Everything's in color now!

>>748107
You are colored now! Aside from checking for injuries and your surroundings, can you remember anything?

Or maybe wait a bit more until you are not groggy anymore to do the thinking.

Woah. Dude. You like have color and depth and shit. Also it looks like your... Outside?
I mean maybe its just a change in our perspective? You did fall on us... Among other things. When was the last time you were outside?

Unfortunately, my body refuses to move the way I want it to. It's shaking uncontrollably as my eyes begin to adjust.
In front of me is a group of people, beating someone senseless. The victim is covered in cuts and bruises, choking out
its pleads, and shaking as well. Every strike on the victim leaves a nasty mark and brings up a howl of laughter from the
attackers, not to mention the person they're hitting is moving less and less as they strike them. As I stare at the scene
in front of me, I begin to recollect what's happening. The one who is being beaten... they are... a friend? A relative?
Someone important. I forget who the attackers are, their faces are nothing like a person. Regardless, I know what's going
to happen. That's why I was shaking.

Despite my efforts, my body still refuses to move the way I want it to. Even if I could move... I don't know if I could take these three on. I'm simply forced to watch as this person is brutally beaten to death. Every time something crashes into them I wince, and their movement slows. This goes on for what feels like hours, until finally, one of the attackers kills the victim. A fatal blow to the head, ending in a chilling crack. Whoever that was, they're gone now. Satisfied with their recent murder, the three begin to laugh maniacally, swinging their weapons around like flags.

"So are ya' dead or are you going to wake the fuck up?"

My eyes snapped open. Apparently, that was a nightmare. Odd, I don't recall nightmares presenting themselves like painful memories. But that's a matter for another time, there's a poodle with a gun up to my head. What do I do?

Try not to panic.

Where am I? What happened? And why are you pointing a gun at me?

"Yo, what up?" Excessive casualness is the best way to deal with these kinds of situations.

Calmly explain to your interrogator that yes, in fact, you are dead.

Woulda sworn I was.
uh. Where am I?

"... only 5 minutes more..."

Also, as long as that guy is pointing a gun at you, It's hard to say if you are alive or dead.

Once that's settled, introduce yourself. And if you can, introduce us too.

Sure as hell feels like I'm dead. What's up?

Ask them what they want. Cooperation in this situation will improve your odds of leaving with your life... which, you're probably alive... somehow.

She squints at me, lowering her eyebrows and curling her lips as she looks me over. The pressure from my forehead is released as she holsters her gun. "... I could've sworn you were..."
She shoots a glare at me, typical poodle flare and everything, "I swear to god if you end up being a Discordant, I'll make sure to bust a cap in that head of yours."
Confused, I ask her what a Discordant is, "I'm not entirely sure, but what I do know is that they kill people. That, and they usually drop some goodies like food when killed." The poodle brushes her hair out of her eyes and tilts her head to the side. With a raise of an eyebrow, she asks "What's your name anyways?" Andrew. "Andrew? Who names their kid *Andrew*?"

No doubt in my mind that this is still a part of the HALL. It takes some doing to get out of it...

>>757736
>>758737
While I lift myself from the rubble, I check myself for wounds. Oddly enough, there's nothing. No bruise, no cut, no gaping hole in my chest. The only thing left of my fall is the blood that dried on my shirt. However, I *do* feel quite a bit of pain on my rear end. Weird.

>>757755
"No no, nothing like that." Konoe shakes her head, "Have you ever played a video game? Killing the enemy can drop items, though in this fucked up maze the drops can range from a speck of dust to a handgun." I'm rubbing my rear in hopes that the pain will go away as Konoe holsters her gun. She looks back up and lifts an eyebrow, a quick shift of the hips and she's back to speaking, "It's honestly rather odd, earlier you were most definitely a Discordant. Weird glowing patterns and everything. You were actually much larger than any of the others I had encountered until then, and when you 'died' you came back as a person. You sure didn't drop anything special after I bust a cap in your ass. Just a tear." That explains why my rear is sore...

What's confusing me is why you asked if I was "dead" instead of if I was a Discordant first. "Dead, Discordant, same thing really. The dead turn into Discordants, or at least that's what Beryl told me." Beryl sounds like a Merchant name. Perhaps I can get more answers as to of what a Discordant is if I meet them.

>>763067
Oh, sounds like you died, turned into a Discordant, but the thing the Discordant dropped as loot was you. The HALL wants to keep you alive, I think. Good news? Or maybe powerful people turn into huge Discordants and then come back after the Discordant is defeated. Like, maybe you're immortal because you're awesome. Good news? I wouldn't count on being immortal, either way. Let's try not to get you killed again.

Check out that poster on the wall. Then the envelope. Then ask to meet Beryl.

As for Konoe, Cinnamon said she was part of the Sugar Dusters, and she was chasing him. Maybe you should avoid mentioning Cinnamon until you're sure Konoe won't turn on you.

Tell her about the hall. And being made of paper.

"you said Discordants drop goodies when dead. Maybe I'm that? a prize?"

... Does that mean we have to find a way to get a bullet out of your butt?

also, that envelope on the table, is it hers?

"Sorry, but you're no prize to me." Did it for the reaction, was only mildly disappointed.

>>763107
"I already know about the HALL. It's some dimensional-hopping thing that's full of deadly junk. It's all rather simple, what more could even be behind all this?"

As for the paper part... I don't understand what you're talking about.

>>763208
>>763092

I *hope* that doesn't mean I need to take a bullet out of my rear...

As for the Discordant thing, I'm not entirely sure how it works. It's best to hold in the assumptions until we get a proper answer, for now, I should probably look around. From what Konoe has told me, I feel as though I may need to arm myself. It sounds like these Discordants can be "killed" at the very least, so we won't be up against impossible odds. I start by examining the poster. It shows a large, muscular man with several symbols flowing out from behind him. Aside from being the remains of what might've been an interesting poster, it's not exactly useful. I turn my attention to the envelope. Another one, huh? I swear these things are shockingly common in this place...

Say, Konoe, is that yours? "The envelope? No. I just haven't touched it because I don't like fiddling with stuff here" Gotcha. I open the envelope and am greeted with something different. A coin. Looks to be made of copper and it bears the insignia of a religious figure. I remember seeing this insignia a lot on churches.

[OBTAINED COIN OF KNOWLEDGE]

"heads or tails?"

speaking of which, what is on the other side of the coin?

>>764915
Flip it!

>>764915
>As for the paper part... I don't understand what you're talking about.
We see you (and everything else) differently now. You seem more full of life than before. Your world, you, and your companion have clear depth. You are three dimensional not only in your own perception, but in ours as well.

If you remember... >>/questarch/658190
Before, to us you were like a paper cutout.
You said we looked like handkerchief dolls.

What are we to you now?

I flip it for the heck of it. It lands on... honestly, I can't tell. It's the same on both sides. Certainly an odd coin. "Those kinds of coins are rather interesting, I've found a few here and there, but I never found out what they did."

>>764946
Interesting that I'd look like I was made of paper; especially since you guys look the same to me. I wonder what that means...

The coins probably did nothing for you, but for us audiences, it for some reason seemed to have somehow and mysteriously given us a picture of Konoe in a ragged dress out of nowhere in the Hall discussion thread. Dunno how to give it to her though.

Anyway, we got a hall to clean, Andrew. Onward.

I guess we will have to move forward, ask Konoe for indications, as right now we are somewhat lost.

Konoe, do you mind if we and Andrew tag along for now? ... you don't feel uncomfortable around us right...?

You should check your inventory, just to check if we still have everything you had before.

>>766316
agreed, at least until we get a weapon of our own for protection.

psst, Andrew, if you team up with Konoe be careful around her. Cinnamon said she was being chased by her and her gang, the Sugar Dusters.

You're right, but I'm not entirely sure where to start with this segment. It looks like it has multiple doors here, and looking over the railing I can see that we're on the second floor.

>>766392
>>766316
Konoe glances at me before quickly turning towards a wall, "You're asking if you can tag along?" Well, yes, it can be- "I suppose it'd be nice to go through this hellhole without having to chat with myself for another minute." Konoe swiftly turns back towards me, sticking her hand out in a friendly manner. "I'll let you join my party, but don't expect me to know where the hell anything is here. After I took you out of your Discordant form the room changed; I'm about as lost as you are, bud."

This might be risky, tagging along with her, but I feel that it may be better than going in alone. I shake her hand, and "join her party". Here's hoping this doesn't go sour.

[Previous party abandoned]

Andrew, besides the bloodstain, I don't remember there being letters, or symbols on your shirt before. May we get a closer look?

>>768419
Hm... yeah, those do seem to be new. You guys can take a look, just don't do anything weird.

>>768422
Looks like there's only one door to the right, it's the one next to where I woke up. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to budge. I've rammed into it a couple of times and it hasn't really moved at all. I wonder if there's something around here we can use to break this door down, maybe?

Regardless, there's another door further down the second floor to the left. That one might have something in it. "So, tell me... is there any reason you keep talking to yourself like that? I mean, I had to talk to myself just to keep myself calm, but I don't think I ever pretended like there's someone else there." Konoe leans against the wall, "Should I be concerned? I feel like it might've been a bad idea to let you tag along."

... She doesn't know about the audience...? "No, I don't know about this 'audience'. But given the place we're in, I'd believe anything supernatural."

Should I explain it to her? Or save it for when we find Beryl?

>>768911
Save it. Or just call us your friends on the other side.

>>768911
I meant our right, not your right, but you could use the vase to ram the door, if it's made out of metal.

As for us you can tell her we're a bunch of spooky ghosts that give advice.

Have Konoe lead the way, she is the leader after all.

Tell her about us. In exchange, ask her what brings her to the hall. We'll probably get info as to why she is chasing Cinnamon

>>768911
>just don't do anything weird.
I'm gonna draw 2 dots above the U to make it a smiley face!

You've got some marks on the back of your head.

He Andrew, the Omega symbol in you Delta Iota Omega Tee is upside down. Any reason to that? Were your college frat brothers drunk when they made it? Do you even know where you got that shirt from?

Anyway, if that final symbol is indeed an Omega, phonetically the letters pronounce "Thee-ah"

As for her questions about us, go ahead and tell her about us. The lecherous ghosts of the hall which follow the current center of the universe are here to help.

Hi Konoe! Can you hear us...? I hope she can...

Anyway, please introduce us, I'm really exited to make a new friend...

check inside the flower pod, thete may me somethign in there, if not just smell the sunflower, you may like it.

What broguht Konoe into the hall?

You might just be seeing fur markings. Not unusual for a tabby like myself.

>>769149
Konoe, the Audience is an entity tasked with solving situations. Some people are aware of them, though, they're usually mistaken for voices that play in your head. The Audience isn't able to directly affect the world they're in, but they can mark someone as the protagonist and lead them towards the right path. "So they know the way out of here is what you're saying?" ...Not... quite. They're about as blind as we are, but as a collective, they've got more brains than we do. Konoe cocks her head and lets out a whistle. "That's interesting. So you got like several minds working with you." Pretty much.

>>769149
The shirt seems a little on the random side for sure. I suppose we can ask Beryl about it when we get to them.

>>768946
Konoe seems pleased to be leading. She's probably the type to enjoy basking in power. She brings me to the door to *your* right. "This place is likely to have a Discordant in it. Do you see the edges of the door?" The door has a dark red gas hovering around the edges; a feeling of dread falls on my back. "We're going in here, hoping to god this thing drops a weapon." She tenses up and slowly opens the door with her back to it, aiming her gun inside the room. Seconds pass, she leans in and scans the rest of the room. "It's clear... odd." She motions me to come inside. The room looks like a locker room, but the lockers in question are filled with guns. Shotguns, assault rifle, and what looks like a sniper rifle. Even with weapons in sight, I can't help but feel it wouldn't be enough... the HALL didn't exactly play fair last time something dangerous happened.

Sniper takes a lot of skill to use, Konoe can have that one if she wants it.

Shotgun might give off a little too much recoil for you. How strong are you btw?

your best bet might be the assault rifle, Andrew. Unless Konoe wants that weapon.

hm, a shirt with scratch marks on it, but no blood. Odd.

>>771190
Yeah those are fur markings.

...one of the lockers has an opaque door. I'm betting the Discordant is hiding in there, waiting for someone to try to grab a gun from the lockers. Get the pistol off the table instead, and then... I'm thinking you and her should be able to just shoot through the door of that locker.

Just announce that if anyone alive is hiding in there they better come out. Wouldn't want to kill an innocent.

>>771217
What if there is an important item in there that we might shoot and break and become unusable to us?

Maybe us audiences can peek through the locker door holes?

Oh, it occurs to me the vent might be where the Discordant is, too. So watch out for that.

We see a red door-frame, but no red gas. Our ability to warn you may be limited here.

Ok so guns. You are probably going to want the shotgun. Unlike what video games suggest it actually has decent range. On top of that you need no special training to hit a target. Just point it in the general direction of what you want dead and fire.

Without training the assault rifle won't be suited for this close quarters internal/urban environment. You'll wast ammo and be a hazard to your allies.

The sniper is practically worthless if you don't know how to use it, aside from the scope being used as a monocular. In fact if neither of you take it, you should take it's scope off and bring it with you.

I don't see a red door frame. I see a brown door frame. Also just white void beyond it.

>>771273
Huh. Then that shade of brown must be the same shade my color blind ass interprets red to be.

Please ignore my previous Red Door-Frame remark, Andrew.

>>771190
Not sure who should get what weapon, but Andrew should certainly pick that pistol in the table.

Its not a hard weapon to use plus its easy to carry, so its a good thing to have handy.

Konoe swiftly checks out the lockers, gun readied. "You pick up that handgun for now. I'll make sure there's nothing in here." She makes an attempt to open each locker, but they're locked. "Dammit. Looks like we won't be taking any of these along." Konoe peers inside each locker with a longing gaze, "and just when I got excited too..."
I've got myself a weapon at least.

Once I finished loading my weapon a quiet hissing noise crept into the room. Spilling all over the walls, the sound echoed back and forth. Konoe slams the barrel of her gun onto a locker as the lights begin to flicker. Before I know it, the whole room is enveloped in darkness. The hissing had stopped as well, only to be replaced with a ringing noise.

The lights come back on. Large tarred veins sway along the ever-changing walls. What is this?

>>773674
The hissing makes me think the monster just emitted some hallucinogenic gas into the room. I say get out immediately. You should be able to make it to the door, it was behind you when the lights went out. Once you're out, the effect might fade enough that you can see clearly and tell friend from foe.

I have no idea where you are.

did you notice the symbols on your shirt is gone? Is Konoe anywhere? do you still have your weapon, or any item in your inventory? are you in the same weapons room? Am I asking too many questions? Sorry.

You appear younger.

Sure enough, the door is in the same place. So this is the same room as before, but it's been changed somehow. I didn't even grab hold of the door knob before I heard someone crying. I looked towards the sound, and it was the rabbit from when I died. Maybe it was me wanting to redeem myself after the last time, but I found myself wandering closer to the rabbit. My hand slowly went to it's shoulder as I called out to it.

My hand gently tapped them. It tensed up as if I had startled them. I back up as it turns towards me, tarred veins quickly consuming its body turned red. It wasn't who I thought it'd be; there was no meek smile, rather, I was greeted by a ghoulish grin. The hissing surrounded me as I stared into this creature's eyes. This was no rabbit.

The room shifts and turns back to normal. Konoe's voice rings out from the side, "Get away from that thing, cat!" she fumbles with her gun. The creature slithers its way closer to me. So this is a Discordant?

Seems like it. Dodge off to the side then shoot it. Uh, make sure your firing angle doesn't include Konoe when you shoot.

Suggestion 2017/03/17(Fri)14:04 No. 788191 ID: 8d4593

Tell it you're sorry...
And fire.

First, Get away from it, and dodge to the side. Then, please try talking to it. Apologize to it for not being able to save it from it's 3 attackers that day. See if it responds to your words. Only shoot it in self defense if it starts attacking you. You're not a senseless murderer.

I'm almost CERTAIN that's a Discordant. Try to move yourself closer to Konoe; keep her to your side, rather than evade the other way. Once you're done soiling your pants, bring your pistol to bear, but don't open fire yet! Try to get it to talk to you first. If it attacks, pop as many slugs in the thing's face until it stops moving!

Communication with the creature appears to be useless as it lurches forward, bearing its teeth towards me. "Don't just stand there, cat boy, fucking shoot it!" Konoe shouted to me, scrambling around for a full clip. It opens its maw and speeds towards me. I hesitate a bit---

A shot rings through the room. Konoe managed to load her gun. "Jesus christ, you're gonna be a liability for me, aren't you?" She grasps her chest, hoping to calm herself down. "These Discordants won't ask you out for a tea party, dumbass. Next time, shoot first, ask later." She shoots an agitated glance towards me. The Discordant fades away like smoke. I feel a bit useless...

Sorry it's just...
I recognized her. She was killed just before I was.
I guess most of us don't come back.

If that red sludge is still on the door, shoot it, Andrew.

Let Konoe complain all she wants. You've never killed before, and You aren't going to start killing without a reason to. Besides, you knew this person before it became a discordant. It was difficult to murder someone you knew, especially if it was going to be your first kill.

Well you can still carry stuff, if she is interested in item hoarding.

Also, I think we kind of forgot to take off the safety switch... My/our bad?

I recognized the person in question, doesn't make it easy to shoot someone. Konoe takes a deep breath, "That's common. These freaks take the forms of people they recently offed. So that friend of yours is probably around here; just hope they're the same kind of discordant you were." She brushes her ears back and looks me in the eyes, "But whether they are like that or not, I need you to shoot any discordants you see from now on. I don't care if they look cute or familiar, blast them until they smoke up." I nod gently, she seems to know this place a little better than me, it might be best to stay on her good side.

>>790390
If need-be, I can carry stuff if necessary. "More storage space is always nice, but firepower is what you really need in this part of hell. If we find any locker combos, we should return here." Konoe stares longingly at the weapon lockers.

I aim at the door and squeeze the trigger until my gun fires. Whatever was blocking the door turns to smoke, rising to the ceiling. Our exit is open again; I turn back to Konoe, "Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you, but it gets frustrating to see people get into near-death situations like that." She turns away from me and sighs. The way Cinnamon put it, Konoe sounded like a bad person, but right now I'm not sure...

>>792878

>>792880
That is definitely strange. The blood on the shirt looks like it's been there for some time. Getting the blood out would prove difficult if anyone wanted to clean this shirt up.

Whatever the case may be, the owner was into sports, particularly baseball. I turn towards Konoe to ask her about it, but she simply shrugs after I open my mouth.

hm, Just a hunch, both of you try the locker combo "67, 2, 3" or "67, 3, 2" or "3, 2, 67", or "2, 3, 67" or "3, 67, 2" or "2, 67, 3" On each locker. There are only six possibilities, and two of you to work on each of the 4 lockers, so it shouldn't take too long.

It's probably a stupid idea, but I'm going with the number 67 on the shirt, and the number of claw marks on each scratch.

If those don't work, keep the number 67 in mind.

>>794774
Hmmm... before anything, turn the shirt over and see if the jacket has anything in the pockets... if it has any pockets.

That end table seems extremely out of place in this room. Give it a thorough inspection.

You can't shoot the locks off, can you?

While locks could probably be shot off, I'm not sure spending your ammo on locks when you might get combinations later would be so prudent. I suggest you save your ammo for future Discordants, but keep your eyes out for any numbers that might come your way, along with directions if those are standard dial locks on those lockers.

>>794857
Shooting the locks off might be a bad idea. There's a possibility it'd just make it impossible to open the lockers, therefore wasting ammo, and if what Konoe's said so far is true... we may need all the bullets we can get.

>>794792
There's some pocket sand in one pocket and a wallet in the other pocket, but it's empty. I put the wallet back and Konoe sets the coat back to how it used to be. "Perhaps it was left like that for a reason" she shrugs and walks to the middle of the room.

>>794819
As out of place as it is, it's just a regular table with chewed gum on the underside. Nothing special.

>>794789
An interesting solution to the locks! However, the dials go up to 30. So either the jacket is completely unrelated, or this lock requires four digits.

>>797013
Instead of 67 it could be 6,7.

>>797013
Don't you think it's weird that you woke up to clean the hall of your grandparent's experimental house and now you're trapped in that hall? Isn't it also weird how random strangers like Konoe keep getting into the house somehow?

How do you think Konoe will react to you telling her that this entire place everyone is trapped in is actually an experimental house your grandparents made?

>>797013
Huh, the lockers look a bit odd... those weird shapes on the lockers just normal locker flair, or something special? Also, a quick check of the single vent in the room could lead to something, maybe...

It hasn't really crossed my mind. Though, I imagine the people here have found other entrances, like Cinnamon who had supposedly fallen in a well to enter this place. Despite that... it's still strange, yes.

>>797080
The lockers are pretty normal. As for the vent; it's just an ordinary vent. A nice cold breeze is coming from it.

>>797014
That opened one of the lockers. Inside are a couple knives and some magazines for a handgun. Not quite what I wanted, but they could prove useful nonetheless. "You got that open? Hm, what'd you do to get that open?" I explain "143250"'s method of unlocking the locker, "Hm... that's an... unusual way to find a passcode. Almost like a game." She closes her eyes and mutters to herself. After she's finished, she lifts her head and turns towards me, "Well, in any case, we best get moving. Pick up what's in that locker and we'll make our way towards Beryl."

Alright, loot. Let's go.

I wonder if you should ask her what she thinks about the merchants you've encountered. People wearing masks?

See Konoe, we're not useless after all... Oh right, she can't hear us. uhh, take what you can, Give her the items since she is the leader, and follow her to Beryl.

What? No, don't just give her your loot. It's yours and she didn't demand it or anything.

"Merchants, in general, are kind of weird." Konoe answers, "They've all get these masks on, some have a sort of breathing problem, and they all love eating rocks. If I didn't know any better, I'd expect them to be a part of some bizarre cult or maybe an alien species."

>>797858
>>797856
I pocket the loot hesitantly, in case Konoe might tell me to hand some over. She doesn't seem to mind too much at all. "Going to be the pack mule then, huh? I suppose *that* could be useful at least." From there, we exit the room and return to the previous segment. There are stairs to my left and the unmoving door to the right. Konoe is looking at me like I should decide the path. "Anything you'd like to check out?"

The vase the sunflower is in also appears to be a flower.

Ask When you were a Discordant, where did you attack her from? perhaps you can retrace your steps and see something you recognize. the last thing you remember was being impaled by a spike after falling

Or ask if she knows where she met Beryl last. Perhaps we can find Beryl there. We got questions.

Are the trash bags still there? And have we checked what's below the corridor?

Also, how are we in terms of weaponry? I think you both should have at least one knife each, just in case.

"In another room. We seem to be in a completely different part of this god-forsaken place than when I first found you. The arena I met you in was mostly destroyed by your attacks." Konoe looks off into the distance, "It's honestly a terrifying experience to be up against something so massive. By this point, I know what a bug feels like."

>>801385
Trash bags? There was some debris from my fall, but no trash bags to my knowledge. Are you seeing things?

The lower portion of the corridor appears to be missing. The stairs crumbled and the lower portion appears to be far below. Jumping down would probably be fatal, best to avoid it. Aside from that, there's graffiti to the left. It looks like a face of some sort.

>>805463
Those are two doors, bro. It's saying the key is in the room on the left, or to use a key on the door. It's the only way to go, now, so you may as well.

How the fuck did they get that key stuck on the rail like that?

Or is it a hook and not a complete circle.
Cuz if it were a hook, that would pretty much explain it.
Looks circular from over here though.

interestingly, the graffiti of the two doors and table are different than the ones we just passed. The graffiti has two round doors, and an empty table, and no light fixture while the area we passed has two square doors, a table with a vase and empty envelope, and a light fixture. And the doors are farther apart as well. Those might not be the same doors we've seen.

What is that scribble next to the picture of the key?

Inspect the graffiti. Are those instructions?

Inspect the graffiti. Are those instructions?

Man, I really need to pay more attention. Sorry for not letting my voice be heard in the back of your head for so long! Regardless, that does look like a key on the railing right before the staircase crumbles into nothingness; if you can, acquire that key. Also, I agree with what #806503 said earlier; check that graffiti. Those could very well be instructions on what to do with that key and the doors... wherever they are!

They do look like a pair of doors and a table, but at a glance, it kinda looks like a weird bug face. It looks like the key on the railing might be useful for something later on; maybe even that other door--- but that one wouldn't budge before... the HALL might be strange, but it usually has some fairly grounded rules, so I can't imagine that the door would just open because of a key. "Might be worth a try? Unless that Audience of yours has any better ideas."

>>805466
Language, buddy. Language.

>>809915
>>805466
The key itself has a hook and it's on a rather flimsy-looking piece of the railing. Unfortunately, the key's hook looks like it's just barely hanging on, so the slightest nudge could cause the thing to fall into the depths below.

>>814683
>I can't imagine that the door would just open because of a key.
Really?

Door is locked. Keys unlock locks. You put the key into the keyhole on the locked door and then you turn the key until the door is unlocked.

How do you not know how keys open doors?!

>>814683
Welp, time to approach the key as softly as possible. Before you mess with the hook, make sure you got a hand underneath it in case it falls when you try and get it... unless those odd colors behind you two are more important?

Well, this seems to be a fine mess in general. I actually want to suggest something very much akin to >>814683 above me; be careful and get your hand under the key before you attempt to dislodge it. Better yet, if you can have Konoe help you in this, then there's two rather than one. I'm also a touch concerned about the pink/purple afterimage your tail seems to be making, unless that's something else entirely? I do feel that getting the key is paramount if you wish to keep exploring at this rate.

(Quick modification; I meant to link >>814692 rather than >>814683 in post >>815301))

>>814689
I know that a key can unlock a door, but as I had said, the only one we haven't opened didn't budge. You know, like it was jammed. I don't think a simple key would fix that issue.

>>814692
>>815301
With that, I've got the key. "Nice catch." Konoe gives me a thumbs up and leans over the railing, "Now, either we force that door open, or we gotta jump down here. Unless we missed something in this room?"

>>817222
Hmmm... go back to the debris you fell on quickly, and give it a quick lil check, see if there is anything you could use to help break the jammed door down.

Yeah let's search the debris.

Another thing we could try after checking the debris is going back in that room, and go into the vent. Perhaps there is a way inside the other room that way.

>>817267
Oh that's right, the vent does go in the direction of the locked room!

Well, the debris doesn't hold many interesting items. There were many pieces I couldn't move out of the way, but I did get something: a garnet stone. It isn't the same cut as the one I had previously, so it's very likely a brand new one.

This means my inventory consists of: a 9mm handgun (fully loaded), two 9mm clips, and a Garnet Stone

It's a tight squeeze, but we made it in. I, unfortunately, didn't have a very graceful entrance. Hard to land on your feet from that vent. "If only we could've gotten in feet first, but the damn vent is too high up... oh well." Konoe mutters, "Once you're out of the way, I'll get down as well."

May as well help her down like a gentleman.

Let's see, more clothes, a bunch of books, suspicious action figure... what's the writing on the bookcase? Also is that a chute on the wall?

Konoe seems to be the independent type. She might refuse your help to get down, but you can still ask if she needs help if you want.

First off, check under the rug for any traps.

Also closely take a long hard look at the picture on the shelf. Put it in your inventory afterwards. I have a feeling you might know that person, even if you have forgotten now.

Look under the rug and that pile of dirty clothes for anything hiding. Then check the markings on that book shelf.

Konoe refuses the help, saying something along the lines of "I've got an idea on how to get down." She lands on her hands and stands up from there. Certainly more graceful than I was.

I'm not sure what the markings on the bookshelf mean, honestly. It just looks like gibberish, as with the writing on all of the books.

>>818979
The rug holds no traps, nor any kind of secrets. Only starch. As for the picture, looking at it kinda hurts after the Discordant experience. Here's hoping that wasn't them?


...
Tell you what, the way I landed has already caused an annoying amount of pain. I don't think people are supposed to land like that.

>>820675
could be a stapler. If it is a wallet, don't steal it. you're no thief.

Perhaps Konoe should go first next time.

Is that a wallet on top of the shelf?

Try and do some stretches. It should help relieve some of the pain.

I don't trust that statue and those red eyes... turn it around so it isn't looking at you.

Next, inspect the clothes pile, check each piece of clothing for any kind of hints. then, throw them down the laundry chute. don't forget to throw that blood stained shirt from the other room down there too.

Wait a minute. That shirt...
Jack Ketch...
JackKetch...
Jacket...
...
Gosh darn it, that shirt definitely needs to go down the laundry chute immediately. I don't think it even is a jacket. Jeez that was a terrible and painful pun.

There was a portrait of someone in here when you fell in, but it disappeared.

It was on top of the book case between the wallet/stapler thing and the statuette. Centered ish but closer to the wallet/stapler thing.
It was oriented so it was facing the door.

Check to see if it fell flat, fell behind the bookshelf, or is weirdly still there but invisible.

The Graffiti on the bookshelf looks like Arabic to me, but I do not know that language.

Try opening the door from this side. What are the volumes on the shelf of?

>>820755
Didn't we pocket that?

It's a wallet. Seemingly empty one as well. There is a yellow card covered in peppers. The words on said card were crossed out with a marker, and as such isn't possible to read.

>>820705

I've turned the statue around. Now it's facing the wall. I almost feel like it wasn't meant to face that way.

As for putting the clothes in the chute... it won't budge either. I'm beginning to notice a rather annoying pattern here.

>>820728

I don't think "Jack Ketch" is meant as some sort of jacket pun. "I doubt it. Jack Ketch is the name of an infamous executioner. So who ever owned that shirt likely had some really strange tastes." I won't even ask why Konoe knows about that. As for the rest of the clothes, there isn't anything that could act as any sort of hint. There are some interesting designs here and there, though.

>>820797
>>820827

I pocketed it. I must've forgotten to mention it.

>>820755
>>820797

Still have no idea on what language these books are in. Most of them are duplicates of each other with only one unique one; this one bears the same text shown on the bookshelf.

>>821719
Pull out the matching book and see what happens. Flip through it if nothing happens immediately.

is the door openable from this side?

>>821719
Pull out the unique one and quickly flip through it to see if there is anything of interest. If not, try putting the book in the chute. May not budge, but who knows what can happen in a place like this?

I have to agree with >>827126; at some point, you really should check out that door. Apparently, there isn't much else here to do, seeing as you can't budge the chute at all, the statue's already been turned around, and you can't read any of the books. That's okay, I can't, either.

GAH! >>821726! I can never get those past post links correct!

The matching book not only has an unusual set of markings on it, but it's the only one with text that actually looks like it belongs to a language. A keyhole is keeping the book shut; it might be some kind of diary.

And to be expected, the book will not go down the chute.

Nope. The door still won't budge. Something has managed to get it stuck, and I'm not entirely sure what; especially since the door is unlocked. I think the simplest answer would be "HALL".

>>823684
Huh, some of the letters are Korean, but some simply aren't... odd. Ask Konoe is she knows what is says, and if not, maybe give that yellow card and peppers a better examination.

>>823684
Does that key from the stairwell fit the lock?

Konoe looks bored. Wonder why she isn't helping out. um, you don't need to ask her. She'll probably get mad at you, and she seems scary when she is angry.

Right, use the key on the book.

>>823729
I dunno, Andrew seems to have a horrible issue with self-narration at all times. I can't help but feel the less times we force him to talk in third person about people he shares space with, the less awkward situations our dear little hero will have to find himself in.

Even if it is super endearing to watch him fumble about in front of cute strong girls

Could be a similar situation to Chinese and Japanese where they share some of the same characters, just with Korean and some unknown language.
As for the meaning of this gibberish, Konoe is just as lost as I am. The yellow card still does not have anything legible on it. Any information it might've had is gone.

>>823729
>>823712
Konoe seems to be resting more than anything; it really doesn't look like boredom. "It isn't boredom at all. A few minutes earlier I had a giant technicolor monster attacking me, how the hell do you expect me to feel after that? I didn't really have a lot of time to rest lately as I was sure there'd be too many places a Discordant could come from." With that, she begins scratching at her neck, "And now? I see only one way they can really get to us, and that way is locked. I might as well take this opportunity to rest for now." Konoe melts into the ground, letting out a long sigh.

As for the key, it looks like it goes into the lock just fine. A click can be heard from the chute. "You said something about the chute?" Yeah, I think it's been unlocked by this book. "Goddammit" How could I have known?

... Konoe is eyeing the chute in a disappointed manner. "So what, are we going to jump down there? I imagine it'd be safer than jumping off the stairs."

Well, that's true. Nothing else to do on this floor, right?

...hey, how much further do you need to go before you can start your cleaning?

>>824934
Before you go jumping head first down that chute, why don't you mimic what Konoe is doing and rest for a bit?

And personally, I'm tired of floating around, so I'm just gonna go land on Konoe's head. Mostly because Andrew can see us, but Konoe hasn't acknowledged us, so I just want to see if touching her will get her to notice us.

Oh, yeah, taking a rest is a good idea.

*yawn* I'm tired too...
Lets relax a bit...

You know, the chute seems to be the only way to go, but seeing as we don't know what is down there, we might need to put clothes down the chute first to soften the landing. We should put all the clothes down the chute, including the shirt in the other room. ALL the clothes... ok maybe not ALL the clothes, nobody needs to strip.

But yeah, after being impaled, dealing with monsters, and dangerous puzzles, you deserve to rest first. jump in the clothes pile and relax. It looks comfy!

>I imagine it'd be safer than jumping off the stairs.

Hey Andrew, that reminds me of a recent traumatic event.

Oh, the chute's been unlocked? Well, that creates another possible escape from this area... but, then again, with the last time you fell and ended up with a brand new ventilation hole in your torso, yeah, let's not just take a blind leap down the chute. Might want to see if anything can be grabbed and tossed down there first to ensure that the way down is at least roughly safe. Of course, you might want to wedge the chute open first so you can see whatever it is that you toss down there all the way to the bottom. Perhaps that wallet that's on the bookshelf? Check your inventory; maybe there's something else you can toss down before chancing the trip, yourself. Definitely let something take the fall before either you or Konoe chance it, however.

A rest might be nice for sure. It's been a while, and a lot has happened. I've plopped down next to the clothes to make a sort of makeshift pillow. Konoe has apparently already drifted off. She's snoring. And it appears that she can't even feel you guys touch her, how *yawn* odd.

The clothes made a soft "pap" noise, so I can imagine it isn't that long of a chute at all. Odd I didn't need to close the thing though.

Should I jump down the chute, or take my chances near the broken stairs?

Well, you can't see the floor where the stairs is that, but when you dropped the clothes down the chute, you heard it land easily. I think we'll have a better chance going down the chute.

Oh, and whoever goes down first, make an agreement that the second person has to wait about 10 seconds before following to avoid one person landing on the other...

I say chute.

investigate the stain under the clothes first.

I can't speak for the rest of the voices in your head, but first off, what do you have that you're carrying with you. Once you've assessed yourself, take a look at what little's around in this room; the crack toward the floor, the window with the little holes in it, the chute you fell down from, and that door across the room from you.

Awww, Andrew could feel us. Why can't you?

Anyways, is there a keyhole on the door? Maybe there's a key hidden on Andrew's side or you could pick the lock?

Actually, can both of you list off the items both of you are carrying? This place is so weird, I wouldn't be surprised if some items switched between both of you, some items completely disappeared, you've both gotten new items that you never even picked up, or something else weird that could've happened.

Also can both of you look straight up and tell us if there's something on the ceiling in either of your rooms? I wouldn't put it past this place to have some sorta message written up there.

It looks like you're going to be able to pass items through that hole in the wall, but this room's totally empty. I guess both of you should do an inventory check then Andrew should search his room thoroughly to see if there's a way to open this door from there. Wait, is there a door in his room?

You two could probably work that hole until someone can be squeezed through.

"I've got a handgun, two mags, and a Garnet Stone!" I'm rocking the same stuff minus the stone.

As for the ceiling, nothing. "On both sides..."

>>831105
There isn't anything we can really chip away at that with.

I don't have any reason to change my clothes right now. No blood, my shirt isn't torn up (well, in any place where it isn't supposed to be), and it's fairly clean.

Well, pass it through then. "I'm on it"
... A couple of bobby pins, huh? I can make do with these, I guess.

Alright time to pick a lock.

Andrew, inspect the drawing desk, and turn the light on and off. That way, we can check if the desk has secrets, and so we can see you through the window so you don't disappear on us due to some hall shenanigans.

>>832089
Is there even a door on Andrew's side? If so, is it also locked?

"Well alright then. Looks like there's something here..." "Oh, that's... there now, I guess."

>>832109
"There's a door over here, yeah. And it's unlocked too." Why are you so damn lucky?

>>832091
On it.

...

There, that was a pretty easy lock, all things considered. Now I've got two bent bobby pins in my inventory.

Might as well move on.

Well, that door led to an... interesting area. What's with this?

>>833563
...what

uhhh... I wouldn't recommend going near each other. might break reality or something.

>>833563
Andrew why is this happening?

Ok, so from what I can gather, in Konoe's perspective, she is seeing things on the wall that is related to Andrew. On Andrew's perspective, he is seeing things on the wall that is related to Konoe. Perhaps they are memories. I think what you two need to do is go back in the room where you both came from, and find a way for you both to get past the window, and exit through the opposite doors so that Andrew can see the drawings on the wall related to him, and Konoe can see the things on the wall relating to her. Who knows, it might jog some forgotten memories.

Hmm, what if you put your previous blood stained shirt on the drawing board and match up the letters with what the light is projecting?

Test and see how gravity works here. Ask Andrew if they can throw something over to you?

>>833566
I think that's a good idea...

>>833570
"Heck if I know. This is something completely new to me."

>>833747
Andrew just threw a garnet stone. A decent throw, but the stone got stuck in the middle of the area, and is now just spinning out of control. It's almost as if it cannot figure out how gravity works either. "Well drat. That didn't help." I'd say it did. The stone basically just told us "don't walk into the center"
"Fair enough."

>>833582
This blue rabbit? That has something to do with Andrew? "I think so at least. They seem very familiar to me." A friend of yours? "I don't really know..." Oh boy...

After Andrew lined up the shirt the groan of metal could be heard above. Are all puzzles here that easy? "Looks that way so far."

Hey, don't jinx it. the puzzles could get tougher. besides, Andrew, didn't you once fell and got impaled because we might have failed a puzzle earlier?

Besides that, great job Andrew. I know we don't say it often, but you've been doing exceptionally well so far. You too Konoe, but I know you don't need us to tell you how great you are.

From your reaction and the direction you are looking Konoe, it sounds like the metal sound came from outside the door. both of you open the door, don't exit, but peek outside and see if anything changed.

Hmm, does that noise mean the room out there is different now? Go check.

"..." I suppose they could get harder. I mean, Discordants themselves already seem video game-like, so if the rest of this place follows that pattern the puzzles might end up getting complicated later.

As for your praise, I don't know if I'm really coming off as full of myself or not, but believe me when I say I'm not.

>>834770
>>834772
"We've ended up coming out of the same door?" Appears we have, and the other side is normal now. On top of that, it looks like your garnet stone landed too; you can pick that back up if you'd like.

>>836450
Yeah may as well grab it.

What's that new writing on the wall, where the door moved from?

hmm... an upsidedown NXD. what does that stand for?

oh and whats this?

...

"elle était le lueur?"

...

Oh sorry, I was reading what was barely written down below on the wall. I think it is french?

Yeah, grab the stone, but be careful. Then see what is in the other room.
