Rose feels around with Telekinesis. Can't feel very far... Thought there appears to be some large slimy pointed things behind Rose. Rose is sure those weren't there before.

The Tip of Rose's head/body feels warm. Wind?

Rose feels a feeling of dread.
Oh Dear!

>>308261
Whatever you do, don't panic.

Ask loudly if there's anyone there. Maybe someone else is lost in the dark too.

Oh Dear! Rose didn't panic! Not that is good defense against getting eaten! Rose did call out but there wasn't anyone to hear. Who knows maybe the monster was lost and Hungry?

Maybe in the future you'll avoid waiting calmly to be eaten!

Go back to before Rose died?
Begin back at the last Checkpoint?

Aren't those the same thing right now? Let's just say yes.

Rose shudders at the thought of the nasty monsters that may hypothetically live in this darkness.

A hot wind blast's Rose's tip.
Somehow Rose feels like this has happened before, which of course is silly.

Whatever you do, don't panic. Just stay put, and stay calm.

>>308273

run you stupid pink thing, run as fast as you can

>>308279

No, it's fine, just wait and see.

how weak exactly is your telekinesis? can you "stab" with it in point blank range?
I have a feeling that the "hot thing" is the breath of a monster.

And I just realized, conemen don't have arms, but they do have legs... so you can walk... mmm, I take it you cannot lift yourself up with your telekinesis, right?

Rose's telekinesis is very weak, though lots of conepeople together are able to lift very heavy things!

There seems to a, rope like thing... but that is just what it feels like to Rose
The wall to Rose's right goes up farther than Rose's telekinetic reach.

Rose considers going left, back the ways...
There is shuffling sounds coming from far away...

Rose could probably climb the possibly-a-rope.

*WRRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!!*

It is hitting the ground, which may take a while...

Well as it turned out there was no monster.

It's only eyeweed, though it is kinda bright, usually it kinda dully glows... rather than blindingly shine...

Rose is mildly unnerved by it and would prefer not to look directly at it for obvious reasons.

>>308653
Somebody spotted the closed eyeweed and thought it was a monster(not unreasonable assumption),he also suggested running straight forwards...If you as Rose to, a telekenetic map can be made of the area within reach, though in this case it's bright enough to see now

I see the post in question now, don't know how I missed it
Ok, form a TK map of the area, and look ahead of you, what do you see? Also look up.

Can you use telekinesis to pull out some eyeweeds? We could use them as torches... Approach the tunnel, read the sign, but do NOT enter. Then check out what's on the right side.

Politely greet the Overseer, then ask him where a way out of this underground region is, making sure to let him no his hospitality is not being spited, but due to the high presence of monsters in this area you require egress as rapidly as expedient.

As to how that Furmine can pull that heavily laden cart, some of those pests must be really strong!

>Who will you follow
1. Don't actually request archiving until we decide.
2. Are we going to end up following all 4 of them eventually and we are just choosing the order now? Or will we only get to chose one or some of them and the rest will not exist in the story?

>>314935
Ok, well on the number one point, I didn't actually send the request until after I had started the new thread. Still I probably should have only called it closed(in post) after people had made their choice.

On that note, the choice was made, there only appears to be two votes, but when I made it there were three.

Thread here; http://quest.lv/kusaba/quest/res/314698.html

OH dear! EX!

Anyway on the point of order, after you reach a checkpoint with Crimson Bang, you'll have the choice to switch to another creature or return to Rose. All will exist in the story. For the most part I'll be trying to make it possible to timewarp back(or forward) to the start with all of them.

I'll leave you to figure out when events happen in the timeline. You could thoerically bounce between Bang and Rose, if a thing like that happens, the others will move without player control.
