>>88157
Ah, yes. There is a key in the... blood...
Let me get it.

>>88156
I have no idea. It appears to be a clock of some sort though and there are numerous cracks arising from within and around the clock. There is also a small circular indentation below the clock.
Maybe something goes there?

>>88159
Oh, yeah, about that circular thing. It was an eye earlier, back when you were going batshit. It was kind of... watching you. Seems to be full of blood now, so no reason to worry.

Anyway, try putting that round thing you found in there, then see if there's anything you could do with that key.

For some reason, this thought came echoing back to me, though I had never heard it spoke before.

I had not noticed that hole before now.
...but I'm too short to reach it anyway.

>>88161
No, YOU made that hole.

>>88161
There sure is a lot of blood coming out of that box, you might wanna open it.

ha........
I... hear another voice.
Unlike yours. And it frightens me.

For although your voice is near,
it's voice is even closer.

When I said I didn't remember what was happening to me and what I was doing... I lied.

What am I!? I hate this body! A constantly shifting mass of useless flesh! And what of my thoughts? They aren't even my own. Or are they?
And what's with this box!? And people watching me? What the fuck is going on!?

This room... is getting to me.
I must find a way out.

>>88167
Awwwwwww, now you made me feel bad. Look, do you think you can bear with it a little while longer? We need you to open the box.

The Box! The God damned Box!
The fucking thing is taunting me!
Even the Voices can see the fucking thing!
And they all say, "Open the box, Nails!"
...
..
.
...Should I open the box? Surely with the crowbar I would be able to. But I fear whats inside. I just want to leave... that's all I want.

But... I am tired.
I shall give you voices time to think. I do not think I am in complete control of myself at the moment and cannot myself make a sound judgement.
Voice, please help me.
Think deep about all that I have said and you have seen. And ask any questions you would like to ask me or say anything you would like to speak to me about.

For I am sure when I awake from my sleep
your voices will come echoing back to me.
They always do.

>>88173
It's alright. If you're too scared to open the box them don't. Try using the key in the door.

>>88173
Go ahead and try the key on the door. I doubt it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

As for the box... well, I have a feeling that, whatever's happening, whoever's fucking with you, they probably won't let you leave until you open that thing. If you're feeling up to it, then go ahead and open it. Don't be afraid; you'll be fine. We'll make sure of that, Nails.

>>88173
Use the key on the door.

>Hi! My name is Nails! And I'm nailed to the wall!
OH THE TERRIBLE IRONY OF IT

...I dreamed.
I dreamed of a world long gone.
Filled with all kinds of wondrous flora and fauna.
But there was one animal that stood over all of them.
They could manipulate anything and everything they wanted to.
They built shelters that rose into the sky and beyond. They built bridges that crossed into other worlds. Time and space was not but inferior concepts to these beings as they had overcome all limitations of their physical selves, save but one: Death.

They had mastered everything that life entailed, but they knew nothing of the afterlife.
And they ached for the knowledge that was gained when they would inevitably die.
Where would they go?

I have the same dream every time I close my eyes to sleep.

Ah. I feel much better after having slept.
As you can imagine it was rather hard sleeping when I was nailed to the wall.

>>88535
...

Anyway, I slept on top of the box.
You know, so that if anything was inside, it wouldn't get out.

I must have been out for a long time because
...I've got a little something to worry about besides the box now.

>>88585
Are you nailed to the box now?

It would seem that the entire room is now flooded with blood seeping from the box and the blood level is still rising.
Oh, and my left arm is stuck in the wall. I can't seem to pull it out.

...If I don't get out of this room quickly I'm going to start to lose my calm composure and start FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!
! !
Voices, help!
I'm gonna drown!

>>88597
First, grab the disc and put it over the eye again.

>>88597
try adjusting the angle at which you pull to pull your arm out and don't freak out. think calm soothing thoughts like kittens.

>>88597
Um, shit. Uh, see if you can get the thing that's floating on the blood.

Use CROWBAR on WALL GLUE

Looking at the door I realize that there is no keyhole. Or knob. Why didn't I notice that before? I thought there was a doorknob there...

It feels like someone is puncturing my hand with something... That guy looking at me must be doing it from the other room!
It really fucking hurts!....!........

Punch the eye.

>>88614
Hey you! Evil voice! Go the fuck away! You're scaring Nails!

>>88614
Hey, as long as you're in batshit demon mode, could you try putting a few more holes in the wall in the direction of that eye? It'll drain out some of the blood, and you may be able to get to the fucker before he nails your arm to another wall.

In other words, PUNCH FUCKING EVERYTHING.

...erm, failing that, grab the Zyphenical Disc and try to either cover the eye or gouge it out. That eye is starting to piss me off.

>>88621
>>88645My mind opens to clear voices crashing through my inner one.
For whatever my inner voice had to say, the weight of these ones are much greater.

Punch the eye. This thing must be the one doing this to me. It must be what nailed me to the wall. It has to be. I will do more than punch it's eye. When I get out I will find it and torture it as it tortured I! And when it is weak and at Death's door, I shall devour it!...
...
Well, that was an... aggressive thing to say.

I notice that my backpack is actually missing along with all the items I thought I had, save for the four nails I have.
To make up for this, I'll take this... whatever it is, floating on top of the blood, as suggested.

Now, with that out of the way. How should I damage the eye?
Should I punch it? Kick it? Try to bite it?
Maybe I could make some use of these nails, hm?
Any way would be tremendously satisfying after all this.

>>88641
Try using the Zyphenical Disc to cover the eye. If that does nothing, then just punch it.

STICK LETTER OPENER IN EYE...
wait... I meant nails... put nail in eye...

As soon as my fist slams into the eye, I hear a squishy sound as a multitude of veins in the eye pop in sprays of blood.

I can feel the grip on my left hand loosen a bit.

It's grip goes limp and I pull my left hand out of the hole.

>>88774
Try smashing through the cracked wall.

>>88774
I think the box has disappeared.

Ah, sweet revenge.
Oh, how it felt to plunge through it's eye!
I felt it's brain turn to mush through my might!
ha. I had no idea what strength I possessed. I feel as if I could knock a hole in anything.

Well, looks like I'm free now.
But what should I do?
Should I really try to break through the wall?
What about the door?
Can I drain the blood at all? And would I even want to?

>>88804
Um, try breaking through the door.

>>88804
Well, alright. Give the door a shot.

With the success of destroying my captor in mind,
I focus all my energy into leaving this place.
As my fist connects with the door, I knock it off it's hinges and blood begins to filter through the doorway.

...I'm free.

>>88862
And we didn't even have to open the box! Let's exit the room!

This won't end well.

It seems as though Nails is hallucinating quite badly. The eye seems to have been real, though.

>>88899
Consider his hand had a nail in it. It could very well be his own blood.

After giving it some thought, I think the story would flow better if I ended the chapter here.

Let me explain a few things.
Having never done a quest before, but quite intrigued by them, I decided to make my own.
This actually started out as sort of a joke:
A one shot where the main character dies horribly after opening the box. Nothing serious. This is why the character was poorly drawn in the opening post.
Shortly after my second post though, I changed my mind (who knows why.) and started making a real quest out of it.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
Thanks to everyone who took part so far.

Nails will most definitely return.

>>89396
I'm glad you decided to continue this quest :D
