Telwis says that you woke up and looked at that scar on your chest, then your eyes just went blank and you froze up for a while.

He says that he would ask you where you got it, but he's sure you 'don't remember' anyway.

>>76896

He says that he's pretty far from okay, but he'll live. He says that if you hadn't grabbed hold of that claw when you did he'd probably be dead now.

Telwis says that was one of the dark things. They're the reason that the depths are the depths.

He says that depends on where you go. There are more of them the deeper you go, and they swarm whenever the deep swells.

He can walk just fine, he just couldn't drag you with him with his side torn up.

He pushes your hand back from his chest and nods his head down, closing his eye again.

It looks like the waterfall is made up of multiple cascading falls. You can't see quite how high it goes.

There's a small ridge above the final fall that you can see, but it's on the other side. Everything is damp.

You can barely reach it, and it's smooth.

It makes a soft sound when you touch it, you feel it vibrate lightly.

There seems to be a dropoff, what can you see above and below you? Also are you close enough to the bar to touch it?

There appears to be someone behind you.

>>109458
>>109459
So to recap: Look behind you, up, and down. In that order.

Let's make it go bong.

All you can see looking up and down is the column extending with a path circling around it. If the light were better, you may be able to see the top or bottom.

>>109459
>>109463

Someone is here.

>>109481
greet the stranger!

Turn around, brace a hand on the bar. Use your other hand to wave hi.

>>109482
With hugs.

>>109481
Hey, she's from your tribe! Ask her name.

>>109481
Talk to her, then start makin' out, unless she objects.

>>109502
This is not how you say hello.

>>109502
Or just ask if she recognizes, you since you seem to be having some memory troubles.
The delicious lesbianism can wait until it will yield best results.

>>109484
>>109487

You raise your hand and greet the person.

She mirrors the gesture.

She doesn't say anything.

>>109505
You're getting too close to the edge there.

>>109505
Provide huggan.
It may help.

Let's see if she will follow us into the room where there's not a GIANT PIT we can easily be knocked into if things go sour. Then take off your shirt, and see if she does the same. We need to get a better look at whatever that scar is.

>>109505
Careful, don't slip off the edge.

>>109505
"Hey. Come here often, stranger?"

>>109505
...
...Take your hand off the pillar.

Take your hand away from the thingy.

Ask her her name, tell her yours. Brace for sudden impact.

You take your hand from the column and suggest going somewhere else to speak.

She swiftly steps forward.

Lean back as fast as you can, kick her ankles.

Uhhhhhhhhh.

That, um... try not to fall down into that chasm thing? Stab back? I have no clue what to do here.

>>109526
Great we've been killed by our own clone.

grab her hand with both of yours, try to pull her fingers out. If she tries to throw you over the edge you'll take her with you.

>>109526
She just stabbed you. Why did she just stab you? Ask her why she just stabbed you.

>>109526
She want's to have your heart. So you should give it to her.
Tackle hug.
Pin her arms and legs, and interrogate her as to why the balls she just stabbed you.

Slash at her with your arm, lean back, slam into resonation thing.

Freak out. Release column. Grab other person's wrist and remove from your chest.

You attempt to pull away from her hand and move to grab her wrist, but the pain is clouding your senses and your body doesn't want to respond.

>>109541
Fall.

Karate chop her fingers, they're kind of frail aren't they?

Uhhhh...

Fall down and die? :(

>>109541
Snap out of this daydream

>>109542

Yes, fall. That's something you can still do.

>>109562

Pull that dude with you.

Holy shit is that your heart?

>>109565
Yes, do this. Hold on tight, don't let it end like this.

Say "But... I need that..."

Angle your body so you'll slide down against the iron and the cliffside. If you can get whatever's in her hand, try it before you fall.

Wake up.

You reach out to attempt to take your heart back, but you can't grip it tightly enough.

Fall. Do that bracing thing.

You have fallen.

>>109590
So just for the record sometimes it's really difficult to figure out exactly what is going on with you.

What.
what is going on I dont even
i am so confused

>>109602
...I knew ladders couldn't be trusted. Throw it into the river in a fit of rage.

>>109602
Wake up. And stop having mind-screw nightmares.

Hug the ladder, sometimes your worst enemy gives you the most comfort.

You awaken.

Your chest hurts.

>>109607
Examine Self.

>>109607

Examine chest. Is the scar getting worse?
