Out of character, Jasper has some engineering skills (which translates in to traps for BBQ). I don't know how skilled he can be, as the specific focus is traps - Nothing was specified about other engineering skill. However, I'd imagine Jasper knows enough to keep some parts of Jack intact, if they're common sense to most people involved with engineering. I don't know if he'd be able to get his soul back, though, as I'm not 100% certain how robots work after they've been destroyed.


In-character:
If Shula isn't able to get close enough to get it, I'll gently try to brush the bug off my shoulder (Away from Shula and Celzt) and run along a clear course away from it in case it explodes upon impact with the ground.

>>181643
I dunno, do you get a new soul every time you black-out?
As long as Jack's data is all there he can be restored without involving the discontinuity dilemma.

>>181648
Good call, thanks for hitting me with that logic, particularly on the emphasis that he's recoverable if (and likely only if) his data remains intact.

Jasper carefully removes the bug from his shoulder area. He then hurls it towards the other bug.

"Why sweet lady, you are wearing a mighty fine sun dress on this certainly dreadful afternoon, I do hope you have baked some of your scrumptious biscuits." "Oh good sir, you sure have caught me in a pickle, I have not even began to cook, by chance did you bring any more of your sugar cubes, I am out and I just could die from how strong this tea is, suh." "I could spare a few, for you my darling." "Oh you are givin' me the vapors." "Oh stop, this is no ti--"

Boom.

>>181695

Success.

Now see if a door or something opened. I guess you could carry Jack's head hoping that all the important data is stored there. Also his sword, that'll be useful.

>>181695
Phew! Shula, the bugs can be held onto carefully without exploding, I think. In case there are more near you, that is. Keep an eye out on the ground, make sure you're not stepping on any.

Celzt, if you feel any bugs on you, don't hit them. Bad things could happen.

I'll keep an eye on the ceiling, but I'll check the floor every once in a while to keep one of those bugs from crawling onto me.

>>181698
Are they the cause of those explosions? They make my ears ring.

The second the last bug explodes, the door to the South, to the new area, Shoots open, and immediately begins to slide downwards to close.

You can hurry and go through the door, which is especially difficult the more time passes for you specifically, Celst doesn't even make that big of a difference. (You are a big girl, after all).

That being said, You can hurry through the door, or risk not making it, and collecting Jack's pieces.

You might have to summon more bugs to open the door again if you try and collect Jack.

Neither of you are very agile, will you risk it?

You don't want to leave Jack behind, but you also know he'd want you to survive.

>>181837
CONTINUITY ERROR

Jack's head still attached to his body wut.

Anyway, grab the nearest piece of Jack and use it to attempt to jam up the door. He was a robot, robots are not made out of weak metals, it should hold temporarily. At least long enough to drag his torso portion along with.

That or you could go all AMAZON PANGOLIN and hold it open with your BEAR HANDS.

just go, there's noting you can do for him.

Eh, just go, then. If you have to do the bug things again, yer gonna die, I'm sure. And trying to jam the door will probably result in the door snaping someone in half or something.

Just go.

>>181841
And now Word of God is telling me that it's coincidence that head and torso landed near each other.

So, to reiterate: Prop door open with Piece O' Jack and/or hold it open using nothing but the FURY OF THE PANGOLIN, then have Jasper skitter over and grab the head, then dive through the open door while you dive into the next room after him, the door shutting in your wake.

Also make sure that Celtz is securely tied still. Wouldn't want her to slip off after all that and end up getting trapped in the room.

>>181837
Operation GTFO sounds like it goes hand in hand with Primary Objective: Don't Die.

 

Save yourselves! You do not want to deal with more exploding bugs!

Jack will totally kick all your asses in the afterlife if you get yourselves killed! Even if he has to march out of machine heaven to do so!

Well unless he's like, on a hot date with Mew Cai or something, but after that! Butt kicking!

We can dooo it

WE CAN SAVE HIM...
Or at least his head... or core... or something...

We don't know that opening the door again will release bugs again. It could release something different, and someone else will die.

Let's go while we still can. Perhaps some other prisoner will find Jack and bring him to safety. One day.

Leave Jack. I'm sure he'll be happy to wait for the next guys to come along, to inform them that the bugs explode!

Either that or his charred body parts will inform them. But you know, whatever.

You look away from Jack and rush underneath the closing door first, looking around the room.

It's a pretty empty room with a thin grating in the middle of the floor.

It would be impossible for anyone to fit down into the grating, especially you.

As soon as Jasper slides underneath, the door momentarily slams shut. Once the door is shut, the walls to the east and west begin sliding inward.

"Called it," you state in a Testy manner, noticing a Pattern with this place.

You have much more time in here, it's not moving at a speedy pace, but it's definitely not a good idea to waste too much time.

The obvious thing to do is to check the grate in the center of the room. Also check it for traps. The fact that there's a big obvious trap in the room doesn't mean there isn't going to be smaller ones waiting.

While Jasper checks the grate, Shula, see if you can find a secret door or some kind of mechanism in the opposite wall.

check the ceiling and the far wall. need to find the button that makes it stop.

Jasper should check EVERYWHERE for traps.

Examine ceiling?

>>181993
Turn the door to the previous room into candy.
Or turn one of the moving walls into candy.

>>182012
I believe that it needs to be edible to make candy from it.

Jasper examines the room for traps. Sans the obvious one slowly drawing in towards them, there aren't any. On the ceiling, there is a passageway.

It looks like there is a way out, it's just not easy to get to.

>>182021
Shula, use your abilities to carve a crude ladder up to the exit. It doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to get the three of you out of here.

Expect it to be full of some kind of fluid, though.

Check out the grating. I'm sure it's populated by kittens.

Shula: Use STURDY PHYSIQUE to throw Celst through the hole. Have her use remains of everyone's clothes as rope to hoist Jasper out, then he and she hoist you out.

>>182021
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

If Jack had lived through that last room he'd be able to get everyone out.

It looks like the only way to progress is to wait until the walls get close together then climb up via bracing yourself against them. Like on that Ninja Warrior game show. Another way to do something similar to that would be having Jasper and Shula brace themselves back to back against the walls and walk up like that.

OR we could yank out the bar from inside the drain to use to brace the walls. Or we could do both things.

Don't worry. Being crushed to death is a lot like falling asleep.

In a giant crushing machine.

>>182027
this sounds like the best idea. try getting bars out first then try the bracing walk up.

You pull the grate out of the flooring, and hold it up to stall the crushing walls. Jasper goes up first and you hold Celst up for Jasper to pull up and out. With Jasper's help you hoist your heavy self up and out of the pit slowly...

And so ends the account of the final run of the Labyrinth just a few years ago. The only time anyone survived.

The King was infuriated...

"Because you were."

"Who the fuck are you?"

"And what question is that?"

"...This Labyrinth shit hole sure has been quiet, but it seems like it was abandoned. The voices in my head have been quiet for a few hours.

Thus the real reason I didn't want anyone tampering with Jacks remains.

01[18:21] <%Bribri> Honestly I'm not TOO worried if Jack dies. Primarily because well.. he's a robot.
01[18:21] <%Bribri> A Master class 3d6 Skill dice Engineer just fell into the dungeon in the future.

Screw you fate! PARTY MEMBER GAINED. Whatever that weird fucking Shadow crap is it better go find a corner to hide in AS JACKS COMING TO KICK ITS ASS.

Not the Shark dude shadow though... he's cool n' stuff. Be a heck of a surprise to see him Alive!... or.. well.. not alive.. but not dead, for the second time. Whatever!

We'll play nice with you if you go back and retrieve a few people's remains for resurrection.

>>182120
Seven the only other person unaccounted for is Nic and she is very much frozen/exploded.

>>182122
We just need a goo sample. Humans are not prone to vaporization, so there would be plenty of residue left over.

>>182124
I think you had better talk with Som about how resurrection works in this universe.

There isn't going to be anything left from Nic to rescue, you know. It's been several years since all this happened.

Hey Asali you didn't happen to see any ghosts did you?

Trust me, getting him operational is a good thing.
