So what's in the chest?

>>812664
According to this: >>812562 , it's whatever 5ea616 wants in there.

> A nice ribbon is chosen, and is therefore what is found within the chest! Phymosa applies it carefully to her tail, equipping it. It seems slightly off.

> A new room is entered, leaving the old one behind.

Hi! You look like a virus. Are you a virus?
Your color is our color. Are we two birds of a feather?

Greet this new Self.

>>812731
They're both purple, but slightly different shades.

hello new self.

>>812730
Interesting, another self. Friend or foe?

> The eyes on the other self swivel around, and at the same time it begins to skitter sideways up the wall, seemingly ignoring gravity in it's entirety in favor of being pulled down onto whatever surface they happen to be standing upon at a given moment.

; I am both greeted in a friendly manner and asked whether I am friendly or harmful. It would be unwise to say that someone does not have the potential to be both, no? I am both friend and foe until further notice, bon.

That would be a fair assessment. We're still trying to figure things out here but unless the situation changes, we mean no harm.

He spoke French! That means he's hostile. Absorb him quickly.

>>812767
no that means it has already surrendered. do not eat the new self instead ask how its existence has been.

>>812764
True enough.

Neat trick with the wall climbing, there.

>>812767
Let's not.

> The Self's eyes rotate again as it situates itself onto the wall, seeming quite content with it's current setup.

; Hon! Wall climbing would be an inaccurate term, mon freund. To be more accurate, I am simply, how you say, changing my perspective on things. It is helpful to do so sometimes, no? it makes things far easier, bon.

; I... see. And how do you go about it? Do you need legs for it? There seems to be a lot of skittering involved.

; No, mon beau. It does not require legs. It simply requires a different mindset, though that in and of itself can be a bit of a problem for some. To view from anothers point of view. It is no walk in the park, hon hon!

Ah, that is interesting. So, paraphrasing to check understanding, you're doing it by changing which surface you consider to be the floor as it were?

Something to experiment with at some point I'd say, such a thing could be useful.

So reality is subjective, here. In changing your perspective, you change how you interact with it. Or how it interacts with you. Useful to know, thank you.

Let's try it:
Flip your head around the x axis then rotate it downwards 90 degrees clockwise. You now have a beak.

>>812777
well we might as well slither onto the floor with the window on it like it is.

>>812789
If we're going to try it, let's give kitty some advance warning, they might fall off or something.

Speaking of that, I can't remember if this was asked but do you have a name or preferred way of referring to you? Speaking to both kitty and the other self in this room.

>Phymosa first attempts to change her perspective on herself, attempting to rotate her head around, and ends up failing. It seems that altering the Self requires the ingestion of new information from which to change one's ideaologies. Changing perspectives is... wobbly, but ultimately something she's able to do. The Catlike Self does so incredibly easily, changing perspectives twice in rapid succession.

; Hon, now you are getting it! You're a naturalborn learner! Quite impressive. ...As for the subject of what to call me. I know suggestions are fond of names but it should not be necessary here. Refering to a self is as simple as classifying them by something they do or how they look: The virus looking Self, the Self with no Face, the self with a Pretty Bow upon her tail.

; It is rather pretty, isn't it. One should find it easy to agree.

; I sure don't have a face! Kitty-like also works, I guess.

>>812802
Don't fall through the window! Er, in this case, don't fall through the hole in the floor!

>>812802
spit into the void.

You helped us, is there any way we can help you now?

>>812807
Yes, windows only occur on walls. That's a hole in the floor with a grate, now.

The bow is unusual isn't it? It's the first non-self object we've seen with color. All other objects were black and white.

>>812807
What? You mean the grate in the ceiling?

; Something for me? Well. I do appreciate the thought, bon. But I personally was considering heading out into the Void. It is quite dangerous, no? But it can be done. Some day you may have to, mon amie. Unless you have something to help me with me journey, I do not think you can help me. ...Unless.

; The bow?

; Oui. It was given by something far more stabilized, more structured. It is a semi incomplete concept core, and therefore, unstable. It could make a very useful last ditch weapon, mon amie. Would you be willing to part with it?

>>812831
no the bow is too pretty to give up! So contagion has never finished a challenge door?

Eh, you need it more than Phymosa does. You can take it, just remember to trust us if you survive out there.

the bow is indeed extremely pretty and good, but it seems like this self might wind up needing it.

>>812831
Well we got it through a challenge door, perhaps virus self would like to come with us to another? Virus self can have the treasure, which would no doubt be similarly stable.

Ja. Conflict is not in our nature, apparently.

; Then you cannot help me, I'm afraid. But for your hospitality, I offer you something. I doubt that you suggestions have the capability to view forwards in time, as such a change in perspective is almost lethally taxing to most, but I have had much practice. I offer you this view of the future.

; 2 Rooms from now, your numbers will fall to one, and your true quest shall finally begin.

>With that, the odd looking self vanishes into the endless void, their color making them unseen against the inky blackness.

Enter three rooms in rapid succession.

well, um not sure if he can still hear me but still thanks for the help, hope you make it out their.

So how are you two feeling right now... and I guess head to the next room?

...good luck out there, virus-like Self.

>A new Room is entered, and the old one is left behind.

; Hey, you concerned about what that other Self was talkin' about? New Quest numbers fallin' to one or whatever? Seemed like an intense line of thought.

; Considering an earlier conversation I had about fate... I think it's going to happen either way. I can't just hang around in this room forever, can I?

But you can. Maybe the kitty is the main protagonist.

>>812868
stop and smell the flowers then move forwards.

well if we're going to be "starting the quest" in the next room think their's anything we can absorb in here to give us a bit of a boast or no?

It implies our selves will be separated. Which is regretful, your Self has been a good companion.

>I can't just hang around in this room forever, can I?
You could, but that would probably be the less interesting option.

Well, she should have listened.

Feel like rescuing a snek you met four rooms ago?

So she does have a mouth- WAIT FUCK PHYMOSA NO



shit



Well then



It begins.

>>812894
D8

)-':>

At least she has the bow.

>>812895
did you at least get pets before she left kitty?

looks like we will need to unlock true kitty powers, aka become a quantum superstate so they can't be killed because one part of them is already dead..

>>812896
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the snek?
