Stop being depressed

Open all cupboards, check for doors. If there is one, great. Check to see if it is unlocked. Otherwise, breaking through that cracked portion of the wall is going to be your way out of this room.

you take the WEDGE and go investigate the washing machine

there's a dial to change wash type, a selector to change wash... intensity? and a time selector

Well lets wash those dirty clothes of yours. Also better check how hot of a wash they can handle, wouldn't want them to shrink.

But seriously if you can, open the washing machine and see if there is anything inside. Also see if you can move the machine.

No place to put the wedge, and no key in sight... it could be disguised as a washing machine with some other function. We still haven't tested the strength of that weakened wall, but attracting attention at this point probably isn't advised. Especially if that note was written in fresh blood.

...we're on a time limit here, so don't dally around trying to wash your clothes. They're just going to get dirty anyway, and how would you dry them?

the two men sailing are brought to their knees

the vessel descends, the seas around it swell
lower and lower, from heaven into hell

Take the orb, sure.

Also, this looks like a riddle intended to be used to solve the washing machine's opening mechanism.


"with the moon above and the sun below

night, Slow cycle

"the two men sailing are brought to their knees
fighting for life against the turbulent seas"

"the vessel descends, the seas around it swell

I don't know, maybe I'm interpreting this incorrectly.

Try shoving the wedge in between the doors of the cabinet.

You're not sure what happened to your tail. You remember having one in the past, but all that's left now is it's stump. You don't think this was a recent development, it feels like it's been this way for a while.

The keyholes on the rectangular cabinet are far too small for the iron.

You tug on the vent, but it won't budge.

As you interpret it the options on the dail are, from the top: single, double, triple, spin, you're not sure about the cross or square, then there's drain and... something where the water sits?

You set the time to 00:15, the intensity to high and the dial to double. Nothing. 15:00 and 24:00 similarly give no reaction.

At least one of these 3 settings is wrong.

Moon above, sun below is probably midnight. Ship on the water could be water sits. Moving slow is lowest intensity. None of the other stanzas have anything that could be considered time.(other than the words themselves)

>>492952
Oh, I get it now. It's a combination lock. We have to input things in order.

You'll keep trying both 0:00 and 24:00 for midnight. You're resonably confident that that and the intensity setting are correct, but still water doesn't seem to produce results.

'water moving slow' So put it on the lowest setting.

If you decide on a time you could try every possible combination with it pretty quickly.

Two floor tiles have started glowing like the orbs.

I'd say Sun on the darker tile, and Moon on the lighter tile.

No that's too simple. First you have to discover the secret cabinet behind the washing machine, locked of course. Then you have to stand on one foot while reciting the Battle Hymn of the Republic until the sunlight reaches precisely the right angle to illuminate the key. Instead of unlocking the cabinet though, the key is meant to be eaten whole where it will infuse with your bio-matrix and give you the gift of third sight, revealing the invisible jigsaw puzzle with one piece missing (which is of course inside the cabinet).

Pry up the tiles above the red glow. You gotta get to the door!

Try switching the orbs. If the metaphysical relationship here is giving you a heart attack in that configuration, maybe reversing it will stop draining your life force.

You attempt switching the orbs, but they seem to be stuck in place now.

You pry up the tiles above the red glow reavealing an open hatch. You can't tell where it's hole leads or how deep it goes.

Jump.

Throw in the bucket first and listen how long the drop is.

Jump. Time is of the essence, and there's nothing left for you here, anyway. Don't hesitate. Jump.

Jump.
