There is no reply. McStick tries to sit up. This place seems familiar. Murdock and Alfredsson are nowhere to be seen, though, and it's a lot more depressing here.

Go right.

Go left this time.

McStick goes left. The goomba is gone, but the cracks are there. It smells like sulfur.

>>173723
I think you're seeing the world in something like how Murdock sees it. Except probably exaggerated.

Go left some more.

An interesting theory. It would certainly explain Murdock's overreaction to small things and emoness.

McStick goes left into the tunnel room. the false wall has disappeared and so has the locked door. An odd, ominous glow emanates from the tunnel...

>>173872

Jump over the pipe and check out the way to the left that's open now. If you press down when on the pipe you will probably go to NEXT SCENE and be unable to return.

>>173894
Hrm. Yes, that.

McStick goes further left into a room with a ledge and a pit. It wouldn't be difficult to climb the ledge, but with the pit there McStick would need to jump, which could be dangerous.

>>174058
Well. Let's try it anyway. It's better than going down the pipe into lava.

>>174058

McStick needs a strange thing to catch his attention, tempting him to jump across the ledge. Alternatively, go through the pipe and get HOOK SHOT

McStick leaps across the gap, grabbing onto the edge. He struggles, but manages to get up. It was close...

He goes on to the next room. There is a ladder to the ledge, what appears to be a nest built by something, and a '?' block.

>>174564
Hit dat block.

And obtains the BLACK TOKEN.

You currently have the BLUE TOKEN equipped, would you like to equip the BLACK TOKEN now, or put it in the inventory?

>>174578
Equip it now, let's see what it does.

McStick feels normal... but stronger.

>>174584
Nifty. Get up on the ledge again and bring the ladder with you. Get back to that pipe.

Wait, is there anything in the nest?

Upon closer inspection, there is a MYSTERIOUSLY COLORFUL EGG in the nest. It looks sort of like an easter egg.

>>174972
Take it!

As he picks up the easter egg, McStick feels at peace, as if all his stress is just melting away.

He also feels slightly weaker, however...

>>175633
Well, it sounds like the upsides outweigh the downsides.

Let's go back to the pipe and see what's down it.

No, we still have the SMARTIES BOX with the TARNISHED SPOON in it and a METAL BUTTER KNIFE along with the CAN O' TUNA, the PIECE OF SHOELACE, and I believe that's it.

>>176213
...what the crap was the POINT OF ALL THAT THEN

Try to mentally switch to the Blue tab and use your frost power.

You've accessed the ABILITY MENU. Upon leveling up, you can power up one of McStick's 3 possible abilities.

Rage- Grants berserker strength when angry, and can be a nearly unstoppable pure strength ability in a fight. However, it creates a thirst for war and destruction at higher levels, not exactly ideal for a hero.

Ice- Can create cold and ice. Useful in that nearly anything you can think of can be made of ice, allowing tools to be made on the spot by a creative hero. (or villain)

???- This ability was not unlocked in the game. It will take more time to awaken.

We are currently Level One, and the last quest will allow a level up from completion.

Which ability will we upgrade?

>>176226
Oh good we actually got something out of all that.

Oh dang we should've cracked open/eaten the egg I guess. Or... hatched it?

Anyway, level up Frost.

McStick will from now forth be blue!

Also we now have Lvl 1 Ice powers. Basically just the Cone of Frost thing from in the game world.

>>176531
That's cool I guess. Alright, I think we're done here. Time to head back to the entrance!

Bubba is waiting at the entrance. He congratulates McStick on his success, but seems worried about something.

Bubba tells McStick that he and Murdock were in here longer than most people, so he was just about to go look for them. At least now there's one less person missing.

Looking at his watch Bubba says it's almost lunch, so McStick should get to the cafeteria so he can get the best pick of the food.

McStick recalls Larry and Bow's request. Room 124, was it?

>>177184
That's right.

Tell Bubba that Murdock touched some swirly thing inside the VR game, and weird shit happened.

No Murdock you are the VR game.

Bubba seems worried. He murmurs to himself. It sounds like he whispered 'Not this again...'

Bubba tells McStick to hurry along. He's going to have to take some seniors and go look for Murdock.

>>177654
Oh hey I didn't notice this updated.

McStick proceeds down the hallway, looking at the room numbers as he walks past doors.

122... 123.... 124!

McStick has arrived.

>>181758

McStick knocks on the door, and a tiny window opens up. The red-headed secretary looks out, "Oh, it's you. You've been in the Danger Maze? Then we need to make sure you're still you in there... what was the argument you made about our age difference when you were hitting on me?"

>>181823
It was "age shouldn't matter when two twin souls collide"

Ask how come she's not interested, when you're obviously so COOOL. (blast some frost into the air off to the side)

McStick enters the room. Larry tells Bow to wake up, and she peeks open her eyes.

"Oh, hey..."

"YO DAWG WAZZZUUUUP!"
shake your head, as you were thinking to yourself, 'what did I just do?'
"Erm, hello. So, why was I asked to come here? will the administration notice our absence? And what's my scarlet flame *suggestive look at secretary* doing here? Is she in on this?"

After that shout, Bow seems a bit more awake.

"Don't worry, they think I'm holding a counseling session with all of you. And yes, I know about what's going on... or at least, what we think might be going on," the secretary assures McStick.

"Scarlet flame?" asks Larry.

>>181859
"Huh?"

"I'm just joshing you. What's going on? Lost track of Emo McEmokid in some weird swirly thing."

Ms. Secretary explains that some people who go into the Maze return... different. Like they're a whole different person. She, Larry, Bow, and Murdock were planning on looking into why, but they weren't sure who to trust anymore, with so many people entering to train their ability in the Simulation each day.

At mention of what happened to Murdock, the group seems worried.

>>181924
"I touched it and nothing happened, though. I think it activated his powers. Also, it changed the artificial reality thing we were in... which let me unlock more of my own powers."
