You should act all excited and hug her, telling her that you love being her friend.

"Well, I guess I'm not going to Funky Town, then. If you're having trouble finding the Hidey Slidey Hole, I'm fine with anywhere else you can find; I mostly chose at random."

I get the feeling we're going to end up in Funky Town at some point.

A troubling thought; our lawyer said we're supposed to be forever alone in this space. That implies inmates are never supposed to meet. I also get the impression that person-like manifestations aren't supposed to be possible.

That means either another inmate is tearing down cell walls (figuratively speaking), or our theoretical bad-egg self is trying to pull some reality-warping nonsense to turn this cell into something more.

Don't think Kirk ever said people weren't supposed to meet others. If we're worried, we can always just call our Attorney and ask. He's a calling card to the forehead away, apparently.

"Okay, okay," I say, putting my hands up defensively. "I won't go to, uh, Funky Town. I'd rather have you as a friend, anyway." It feels weird to say that, considering we just met, but whatever.

Pop Pop crashes into me, wrapping non-existent arms around me awkwardly. "You da best, bump! Best friend, Klaatu!" With that, she releases me, and goes to wander about the restaurant, looking under and behind pieces of furniture.

>A troubling thought; our lawyer said we're supposed to be forever alone in this space. That implies inmates are never supposed to meet. I also get the impression that person-like manifestations aren't supposed to be possible.

...Yeah, I don't think Kirk said I'd necessarily be alone here... right? Although he didn't exactly make it sound like I'd be running into anyone, either. And I'm really not sure whether Pop Pop isn't just a manifestation of this place reacting to me. If she is one... is she really a person, then? How does all this really work?

>we should probably ask how old she is before we start treating her like a child
...That might be a good way of figuring out, uh, how "real" she might be.

"So, uh, can I ask you a personal question?" I'm not really sure how to be tactful about this... especially with someone like her.

She pops up her head from behind some furniture. "Uh huh!"

"How old are you?"

She stares at me for a moment, cocking her head slightly. "Wot?"

"You know, uh..." I scratch my head, trying to think of another way to put it. "How long have you been alive?"

She pauses, apparently lost in deep thought. "Oh! Forever!" She finally chirps, before scurrying behind the counter.

I don't get much time to contemplate the meaning of her answer, or perhaps the lack thereof, before her next outburst.

"Found it!" Her head pops up from behind the counter. "Look, Klaatu, look!"

I walk over and see that she's found a large, dark hole in the floor, just behind the counter. And she's climbing into it.

I stare at it for a moment. "...Is that the Hidey Slidey Hole?"

"Nope!" And then she disappears behind what seems to be an alarmingly dense shroud of darkness.

>show her the cube
...Not a bad idea, she might know something about it. Maybe I should show her once we get to the Hidey Slidey Hole.

After a few moments it becomes clear she isn't coming back out. I sigh, and with some trepidation, I kneel down and stick my head in.

Be careful not to touch her past selves, you might cause a TIME PARADOX!!! or a butterfly effect. Dont want butterflies to be swarming around here.

Wait until her past selves get outta the way, and drop in... face first!

I see a butt.
I want to ask your lawyer who Pop Pop is, but that can wait until you're past Afterimage Land.

Ask Pop Pop what this place is.
Also, ask if she is an adult. That's a more direct and easily answered question.
>>
No. 993283 ID: 8a51ec

Afterimages, as if we needed to be nauseous on top of all this. Those are some very unfortunate moments of Pop Pop that we're going to have trouble forgetting the sight of.
>>
No. 993295 ID: 2aa5f0

Oh god she knows the after image technic! OH GOD YOUR STUCK IN AN ANIME!

As for what to do... Follow her I guess. Not really much else to do at this point. also try not to get lost in here as this place looks like a bitch to try and find a way out of.
>>
No. 993300 ID: 9a2966

Well, her afterimages are fading, so hurry up and follow along.

No. 993379 ID: 3eeb6c

Butterflies on buttercups... oh right, you should move. I'm sure nothing weird's going to happen as long as you stick close to her.

See what happens if you overlap your own afterimages with hers.

I slip down through the gap, as gracefully as I can manage... which isn't all that graceful, compared to Pop Pop, but... slithering downwards was never my strong suit.

Hmm, yeah try splitting up. There's something weird going on with your body considering you're a snake now and didn't used to be.

All else fails just take the low road, since... Pop Pop is probably at every destination anyway.

rolled 2 = 2

This makes things easy, doesn't it? It means all the paths are correct!

I feel it's better to leave this one to a dice roll.
1=left 2=middle 3=right

Rightmost path feels correct, the most "paths" of her lead to it with that one leaping down from the middle path to it. Seems as close to a logical solution as any.

So, I'm assuming all your possibilities just aligned with all the versions of you that look like a slug.

I say go right. that's what they say to do in a maze right? Just hug the right wall and you'll find your way out eventually?

>One of the images reacted to our fall
This might be easy as pie. Follow the ones that look in our direction and react to our antics. So just... antic it up and look for the ones by the trails that react to us.

... also, did we morph into a slug bod?

She's split up into all her potentials, I'm guessing if you just do what comes naturally and follow her you will to.

...Morph? What?

No? I've always been like this, as long as I can remember.

>So, I'm assuming all your possibilities just aligned with all the versions of you that look like a slug.
Oh, right, the whole... condensed person thing. Maybe some other version of me got confused?

>Well have your snakey self go left and your quadruped self go right
Um, I'll try. (There's a quadruped version of me?)

I'll just, uh... try to... divide myself?

Oh hey I know what that is. It's a Hobby Horse! So I guess you can't quite "pretend" hard enough to split. You're not supposed to be able to split apart anyway due to the rules of your imprisonment.

Just... go left.

Think about the version of you that would be ready and willing to mess with the structure of the multiverse.

Think about it real hard.

Then have it separate from the rest of you and follow the left path.
>>
No. 1000133 ID: ae9056

Heh, it’s kinda adorable.

But yeah the more time you waste experimenting the more... possibilities your friend leaves behind for you to get lost with so best just pick a path for now and try doing reality bending/braking experiments when you’re not chasing after someone who’s already leaving you behind in their dust.

No, I'm pretty sure Klaatu was quadrupedal the whole time. Compare >>962437 and >>962445, and particularly the shape of the shawl as it rounds Klaatu's hindquarters.
>>
No. 1000191 ID: 26235b

So the horse isn't real. Does this mean you've unknowingly been pretending to be a horse this whole time? And that, similarly, your current slug form could be another layer of fantasy that you're wrapped in?

If that's true, then the question is, is the criminal you also fake, or is that the true you...
Well, time to move on before we lose Pop.
