You wake up from your sleep, you still feel tired. It smells like it rained last night, but nothings wet. Your name is Troy Porter and you're starving, you don't think you ate anything before going to sleep last night. You rummage around your belongings for a can of beans or some fruit or something...oh goddammit you're out of food. Not a single morsel to eat, looks like you might have to drive to Dawnsprings and buy something...but what's that smell?...Oh Roland or Vol must be cooking something in the house. It smells good, it couldn't hurt to ask about it? No, you already feel bad enough for getting random people involved with your crap. You don't like to ask for help if the problems something you've caused yourself, up til now you've been staying outside as not to be too much of a burden but god damn are you hungry. Well which ones going to win? Your pride? Or your stomach?

There’s no shame in wanting some food, besides he might have coffee to take care of that hangover.

Pride got you this far and you owe it to the man to prove you're more than a near-freeloading bum. And it honestly can't hurt to stock up. Off to Dawnspring for supplies!

Also, you have no idea what Roland is cooking. There's a sad amount of 'anything demon' in his meals of late. Demon gizzards, demon spleens, demon toenails - the smell might be good, but the contents? Who knows!

>>914864
>Well which ones going to win? Your pride? Or your stomach?
Your stomach.

Go knock on the door and ask if you can have some food, since you ran out of your own food.

If you want food you gotta start paying rent.

>>914864
Swallow your pride, which unfortunately doesn't help with your hunger, and go beg ask if you can have some food.

Rub a dub dub where is my grub

Man.
Yall fought and bled together. You can ask for some damn food. Just ask if there's anything you can pick up for him at Dawn Springs, your gonna need to go shopping anyway.

Honestly, though, it looks like he has space. You gonna rent an actual room or what?

Roland seems to like you well enough, all you gotta do is Convince Vol to let you stay in the house. You're never gonna get a good nights rest sleeping in your truck.

Why don't you this: Ask for some breakfast, and in return, you take him out for lunch or dinner later. There is no better way to bond with people than with sharing food.

>>914894
>You take him out for lunch or dinner
Don't phrase it like that. That makes it sound like Troy is asking Roland out on a date.

>>914898
That so? Eh, ok, invite him to lunch/ eat dinner. Totally not GAY.
Is that better?

>>914898
Please do phrase it this way. Talk about eating under the stars and watching the beauty of the desert, and tell him how while you were in the gang you saw the place as a barren wasteland, but now that you're out and with him it feels a bit less bleak. No homo, you're just really good friends.

I'm siding with pride though. Vol seems to be giving Roland a hard enough time, no need to cause more problems for him.

Hey, Troy, I know you said you wanted a demon dragon, but if that's not possible, then what kind of demon would you want as a pet? Unless it's an intelligent demon that can speak, then it would be your partner, not your pet.

Also, why do you want a demon pet/partner? And how pissed off is your angel at you for hanging around Roland and his demon friend, Vol?

As a man who likes to take care of his own problems on his own part of you wants to go for your own food without bothering the young man whose been so kind as to allow you to use his home for shelter, But as a man who also enjoys to not fucking starve you're hungry now and don't want to drive. You'll find a away to pay Roland back later.

>>914894
>>914898
>>914909
>>914911
Paying him back by buying him food seems the most appropriate, although you have no romantic interest in Roland. You like your men a bit beefier and Roland sort of looks like a young lady from multiple angles, He's pretty androgynous even though you don't think you've ever seen his face.

You knock on Rolands front door, you hear him yell for you to coming to check who it is. Weird, but you enter anyway. In the back of the house Roland is cooking on a stove in the kitchen. Smells like bacon?

ROLAND: Hey Troy! Finally decided to come inside huh?
YOU: Yeah I uhh...I'm a little embarrassed to ask but-
ROLAND: You want some breakfast?
YOU: Uh Y-yeah how'd y-?
ROLAND: I kinda figured you could smell the food from outside, did you run out or something?

>>914918
>did you run out or something?
"Yes. I can pay you back by buying you lunch or dinner later."

"And before you ask, no, not like a date!"

>>914918
>Roland sort of looks like a young lady from multiple angles
Are you saying Roland has “feminine curves”? Also, how long have you been staring at him for you to realize that he looks kinda like a woman?

>did you run out or something?
“Yes.”

Ask what he’s cooking?

Then ask him what you can do to pay him back? Because he could’ve easily ditched you and left you to deal with Shackle and his gang, but he instead risked his life and almost got killed to help you out. You pretty much owe him your life at this point and you want to help him anyway you can!

Know what, lets clear the air. Just ask him straight up: Roland, you are a guy, right? Biologically speaking, of course. You can be into whatever you want, and if you feel trapped in your own skin, well, i will be supportive regardless of your choice (i mean, you are my landlord).

You sit down at the table as Roland sets a plate down in front of you.

YOU: I swear I'll pay you back in someway.
ROLAND: I mean you kinda already are gonna? Demon studies remember? Still I won't turn down a free meal.
YOU: I didn't say nothin' 'bout a free meal.
ROLAND: Yeah, but it'd make the most sense wouldn't it? Anyway there is something else I need now that I think about it. I've been doing some reading and I learned about something called Seraphim, and I wanted to get my hands on it for closer study. It's angel related right? Do you have any idea where I could get some?

>>914933
>Seraphim
If you’ve got food in your mouth, now is the time for you to choke on it out of surprise when he mentions that!

>Do you have any idea where I could get some?
Now, Troy, I know you said you’d do anything to pay him back, but are you going to draw the line at this?

Because at this point, after he risked his life for you, I think it would be completely ridiculous to withhold the fact that you have some Seraphim with you! Hell, you might as well tell Roland that’s the reason why your former gang is so pissed at you, you stole some of that stuff from the boss!

But why is Roland interested in it? Isn’t he supposed to be studying demonic things and not angelic things?

>>914933
Where did you read about something like that? And why exactly would you need the stuff for your studies? You trying to turn Vol into a demon/angel hybrid or something?

Before we give him the vial, I want to know exactly what he's going to use it for. Also, call me paranoid, but I'm feeling like Channing might have access to some bad mindtricks.

You're instantly unsure about telling Roland anything about the Seraphim you have. That stuff is dangerous and angelic things do not seem to line up with the study of demons.

YOU: Where'd you hear about that stuff?
ROLAND: Y'know in a book at the Library, I didn't get around to taking it with me...but I remember seeing it. Now do you know anything about it?
YOU: What would you even want to use it for?
ROLAND: Just to get a closer look at! You keep acting like I'm going to do something stupid with it. The stuff only works for saints and I don't use magic, now where do you keep it?

>>914937
... I might know. I may have put it in your basement when you weren't looking (Roland has a basement, right?).

Lock them inside after they go in.

Bruh. It's powder.
You got a microscope or like, a chemistry set, even?

Playing with Seraphim is like playing with fire. You find a trustworthy expert to help you out with it and maybe I'll consider getting you some to look at.

ROLAND: But you haven't set foot in my house before? How would it be hidden in my basement if you haven't been down there? How would you even know if I have a basement?

You hear Roland's teeth chatter, grind, and hiss all at the same time. The noise is slow and grating at first but slowly begins to rise in pitch and volume until it hurts your ears.

ROLAND: ThiTHISs is ImporIMPORTANT for mMY stuSTUDIES TROY. I feFEELll like it can be useUSEFUL if I knKNOW! WhWHEREere is it TROY?

Oh. when the last time you used this stuff?
Because I feel like you're withdrawing.

Maybe. Sit the fuck down.

>>914947
That’s not Roland. Roland can’t suddenly grow 3 mouths on his face.

I think you’re still asleep and this is someone invading your dreams.

Also, 2 important fact showed up here: >>914937 , Roland started asking you where you put the Seraphim here when you clearly never told him you actually do have it and he claimed that he doesn’t use magic, when you’ve clearly seen him use magic multiple times!

This isn’t Roland, this is someone trying to trick you into giving them the Seraphim!

>>914947
Pinch yourself.

>>914951
I agree, this "thing" is full of bulshit. The thing is what do we do about it. Is this even real, or just a nightmare? Or maybe a some saint's ability?

>>914951
>Dream invasion
>Not Roland
Or Troy is wide awake and that's the real Roland, but something is causing him to hear Roland say something he's not actually saying to try and get Troy to attack Roland.

Go outside. Pinch yourself. But don't attack Roland! You are being fucked with.

>>914947
Where's Vol, anyway? I was expecting him to be in here with you.

You pinch yourself and your skin and flesh pull off of your arm like cotton candy. Meanwhile the terrible high pitched grinding and chattering sounds from Rolands(?) teeth begin to give you a headache. You try to stand and leave but your movements feel slowed, no matter how hard you try you can't get your legs to move any faster than the slow pace they're going.

The fake Roland begins to shake violently as his laughs echo on the inside of your skull. You can feel bit's of him fling off of his body and splatter against you like paint.

FAKE: I can Do this aS lonG aS I NeEd To tRoY! eVeN iF yOu dOn'T teLL mE iT'S oVER For YoU!

Soon you begin to feel the room spin faster and faster until you feel it drop down like a spinning elevator that's gone out of control...

Until it all just...stops. The weird melting Roland fake across the table from you has stopped moving all together like a wax statue. The rooms gone back to normal and your movements seem to have returned to a normal speed. You hear somebody clear their throat next to you.

MATZEN: Jeez are all of your dreams like this? Seriously, this has "therapy" written all over it.

Ehhhh, well, i wouldn't call this a dream, but a nightmare, but yeah, i think i have some serious issues. What are you doing here?

>>914981
Kind of hard to get therapy while on the run. So, how are things going with you?

>>914980
I think your alpha layer might have snuck in there.

>>914981
Isn't this the guy with the ability to enter your dreams if he knows where you are? You know, the guy that said that he wouldn't tell Channing where you are right now?

Why is he helping you? Why is he here? And why the fuck were you dreaming of Roland turning into some kinda monster?

Also,this means that you're still going to be hungry and you're going to have to eat something when you wake up.

>>914981
If that was a dream made by your own subconscious and it wasn’t influenced by Matzen at all, then I’ve gotta say that it’s not a good sign when you’re trying to tell yourself that Roland is going to betray you, even after he saved your life and you’ve got no reason to distrust him.

>>914981
yeah, this is why I usually drink before going to bed, people don't really dream when they're drunk... or at least remember them.

YOU: Matzen? What's goin' on? I-is this all just a dream? It feels so fuckin' weird though, and why-
MATZEN: Troy shut up for a minute let me explain okay? First thing's first I'm dead, I've been dead for...let's say about 8 hours now. Channing figured out I knew shit about you and had me killed after trying to beat the information out of me, and no I didn't crack. I never crack.
YOU: Well then how-
MATZEN: Am I here? After I died my angel used it's ability to pull my soul into the Plane of Dreams so I could somewhat survive. That's where we are right now.
YOU: B-but why am I here?
MATZEN: Well you're being attacked by another one of Channing's agents. Looks like it's someone with a Dream Angel like mine, only stronger. Unfortunate. Luckily! I was able to jump into this dream and save you from...well getting spooked too hard I guess? Also I'm here to tell you how your enemies ability works. His name is Cenred and he's basically trapped you here and has some control over your dreams, that's what all this was, but now that I'm here it should stop or at least not be as bad anymore. Your welcome.
YOU: So I ain't in danger anymore?
MATZEN: No there's still a lot for you to be worried about. Y'see Cenred's ability isn't just to tamper with your dreams: First, he's also trapped you here in the Plane of Dreams and you can't wake up no matter how hard someone on the outside tries to shake you awake; second, if you're asleep for too long, he'll physically pull you into the Dream Plane and then spit you out in whatever area he's in and I'm pretty sure he's sittin' right next to Channing right now. So stay trapped here for too long and you'll be screwed

Matzen snaps his fingers. You're no longer in Roland's house, instead you're in a cubic purple room.

MATZEN: Now I can help you, but being killed really fucking takes the wind out of ya y'know? When I materialized into the Dream Plane I was missing a lot of my body parts.
YOU: Body parts?
MATZEN: Yeah, my stomach, my liver, and one of my lungs are all missing, and I'm not at my full strength without them. That sounds weird, but the laws of the Dream Plane make it so, so that's how it is. Any more questions before we play dream operation?

>>914996
Your angel kept you sort of alive? Damn, mine is just a jerk. But seriously, thanks, you're a great friend.

So, where are these pieces and how do I get to them?

"...Do I have to return your missing organs after I get out of here?"

>>914996
Alright what about lucid dreaming? Can you control the dream yourself without having a dream angel?
If you die in the dream will you die in real life?

>>914996
Can I still use my ability? How do I escape? Do I need to find Cenred and kill him? Do I need to remove his organs to weaken him? Where do I even start looking for your body parts?

Oh yeah ask if he remembers anything interesting from his time at Channing's base.

... I am sorry that you got into this mess, Matzen. Who killed you? The least i can do is avenge you, if i survive.

What do you need me to do right now in order to help you. So you can help me.

so the plan is that i need to find your missing organs and then you'll be strong enough to pull me out of here? Or do I need to take out this agent to get out and finding your missing organs would just be a nice bonus for the both of us? Also any idea who's after me now and how to deal with them?

>Where are these pieces and how do I get to them?
MATZEN: The Dream Plane is a vast place and normally it would take years to find anything lost. Luckily, since they are my body parts I have a general sense for where they are. We'll be using sheep to get to where we need to go first.

As Matzen says that a sheep wanders into the room

TROY: Like...ride it?
MATZEN: We'll be using it to get to the first place we need to go first. It's like a portal for us.

>Can you control the dream yourself without having a dream angel?
MATZEN: Under normal circumstances anybody in a dream has some control over it, and lucid dreamers have much more control. These aren't normal circumstances however, since Cenred's trapped you in your sleep with his angel's ability you are very much a prisoner with little to no control over anything. Fortunately for you I'm here and even in my weakened state I can help you a bit.

>If you die in the dream will you die in real life?
MATZEN: No, with how loosely life and death work in a dream you won't die unless someones ability specifically kills you in the Dream Plane

>Do I need to find Cenred and kill him?
MATZEN: We don't have to. If I manage to get you out I'll use the power from getting my organs back to make sure this doesn't happen again. I'll effectively make you invincible from the dreaming world side so Cenred can't pull you back.

>Can I still use my ability?
MATZEN: You should be able to? Your angel inhabits more than just your physical body so even in your sleep it should work just fine. Now if you're done we should get going, the sheep's getting impatient
TROY: ...Matzen I'm really sorry this happened to you.
MATZEN: Don't be man. I helped you instead of turning you in so it's mostly my fault, you can worry about it when we get you out of here. Then you can kill the fucker who shot me.

>Then you can kill the fucker who shot me.
deal, lead the way.

>>915018
“One last question: How many more Saints with Dream Angels does Channing have? Because I’m really hoping that you and Cenred are the only ones.”

After that, let’s get going and start looking for Matzen‘s first body part.

What about weapon? Do i have something to defend myself? Limited ammunition or something, do i still have my gun?

Hey Matzen, thinking about it, where's your sexy, sexy angel? They're ok?

>>915018
How'd they find out you were hiding where I was? Who killed you? What did he/she look like?

>>915025
Also, since Cenred's trapped me here does that mean he can easily find me once I go back out there? How can I avoid being detected by him?

MATZEN: I'm pretty sure me and Cenred are the only ones.

>>915031
MATZEN: I...I'm actually not sure? Kyumulas hasn't said a thing to me since I died. He did say something just before I died though. He told as his final wish he wanted me not to betray my friend, I mean I would've without him saying that but I think what he said implies he's gone gone. I know your angel's a prick but you should try talking to it sometime, it could be helpful.

>Who killed you?
MATZEN: Channing's brother call's himself Naos, that's not his real name though. Were's a shitty mask and has fucked up scars on his face.

>>915116
MATZEN: Cenred just needs a name, face, and general location of where you are. All of which they have already.

>Weapons
You left your gun in your car, or at least the dream version of your gun? anyway right now you've got nothing but your fists.

The sheep begins to emanate a strange energy, and the room is filled with a blinding light.

Once the light subsides you find yourself in an empty void surrounded by more sheep each glowing a different color.

YOU: Where are we now?
MATZEN: A nexus, it's a a point where a large amount of dreams collide. Sheep love to loiter around nexuses so we've got a few we can go through, whichever one we use will lead us to one of my body parts.

Matzen disappears in a flash of purple light, but you can still hear his voice.

MATZEN: I'm gonna piggy back off of your body for now 'kay? It's hard keeping my form like this. Now pick a sheep.

>RED
The red sheep is oddly cold, you expected a warmer temperature from a warm color

>PURPLE
You hear car's honking and people talking coming from the sheep's wool

>YELLOW
There's a familiar feeling to this sheep, one you don't like.

Purple

>>915347
As much as we should talk with him later, we're kind of in a hurry here. We can talk with him once we aren't in imminent danger.

Purple sounds important.

Yellow. CONFRONT THINE DEMONS

If we want to deal with demons, red might be the place.

Good! Don’t have to worry about this happening again!

>I know your angel's a prick but you should try talking to it sometime, it could be helpful.
That’s actually a good idea. Troy, you should try talking to your angel more often once you get back to the real world.

>Cenred just needs a name, face, and general location of where you are. All of which they have already.
No, when I said “back out there” I didn’t mean the real world, I meant back into the dream world, outside of the safe zone we were talking in.

Since Cenred has control of this entire place, won’t he always know where we are? Because I’m kinda hoping for a way to at least move around the dream world without immediately being spotted and attacked by Cenred.

>Purple
You push your hands into the pillowy soft wool of the purple sheep and slowly climb into it the fluff.

When you emerge from the cotton confines of the sheep you find yourself in a very purple cityscape. The moon hangs low in the inky starless sky, what you think is the only light though you doubt a dream follows any form of logic. Below you can hear cars honking and the sounds of crowds chattering and walking about though when you look over the edge of a building all you see is darkness. You look down at your hands, you are inexplicably incandescent.

The tops of the buildings are connected by rope bridges that lead from rooftop to rooftop. There is a ladder closest to you across the rope bridge in front of you, and another insanely tall one leading into the sky far back across the ropes.

YOU: Yo Matty? You know exactly which way I should be going?
MATZEN: I can't get an exact read on where it is, only that it is here. If we stay here a bit longer I might get a clue, but don't count on just waiting for me to find it. Just pick a direction and get goin'.

go forward I guess. From what I can see you can either take the latter after the rope bridge down or head to that huge latter in the background and go up... I say go down because that up one to me looks like how you get out.

>>915810
What about the door behind you?

I looks like there is a path to follow. Unless it is to deceive you, which i doubt, i say you follow those bridges and claim that ladder.

>>915810
Cross the bridge.

>>915810
There. That braken ladder that leads to nothing.
Climb it. Don't worry about where it does or doesn't lead. Just get on, start climbing, and don't look down.

>>915810
Let's check the house behind us first, it might be quick. Assuming there isn't another dimension in there.

>Don't count on just waiting for me to find it.

>Door behind you
You're pretty sure that's how you entered here, you put your hand to the knob and try to turn it, but it's squishy and refuses to turn...gross.

>Cross the bridge, go up the ladder
You carefully walk over the rope bridges connecting the buildings and head to the tall ladder. You begin to climb, the ladder seems to stretch into the blackness of the sky but soon enough land fades into view. You awkwardly dismount the ladder as best you can onto upside down pavement. The sounds of cars and chattering crowds now sounds oddly reversed. You're a little dizzy. To your left...right? No that's not how being upside down works, to one side you see a building you think is a hotel, and to the other side you see a funny looking dream denizen.

YOU: You're really rocking that handstand aren't ya?
DENIZEN: It's the only way I can keep my head on straight!

Past the denizen there's more city you can explore.

>>916735
Hey, by any chance have you seen a stomach, liver or lung?

If he has no idea where we could find one, just continue into the city.

Have you seen any organs around here?

So is this someone's dream Matzen? Or does this place just exist separate from any people dreaming?

>>916735
Is that a spotlight in the lower right corner of the picture? We should avoid it, just in case that gets Cenred‘s attention for him to attack us!

>Go where?
Let’s head past this guy.

>>916754
This

>>916737
>>916744
I don’t think we should ask about the organs.

We don’t know where Cenred is, so he could be anywhere nearby. If he hears us mention what we’re looking for, then he’ll set traps by the organs or he’ll go find and destroy them!

>>916914
Matzen already mentioned the organs, and we're on a time limit. The only other option we have is wondering aimlessly around a dreamscape, and dreamscapes are notorious for not being the easiest to navigate.

>Is that a spotlight in the lower right corner of the picture?
That's the moon

>Ask about organs
YOU: You seen any organs 'round here?
DENIZEN: Nope! dream people usually pick up after themselves or just don't have any! but if someone does lose their organs then maybe the doctor'll have 'em. She's kinda like the lost an' found of organs.

The denizen points past himself and you walk in that direction. Down the street from the Hotel is a small booth in front of which a large spider creature is smoking a cigarette that wriggles and writhes in her claws. It's weird seeing smoke go down instead of up. You talk to the spider

YOU: Uh...hello? I'm lookin' for the doctor?
DOCTOR: You're looking at her, what do you need? You look like you've got all of your parts attached.
YOU: I was wonderin' if ya had any organs? My friends missin' a few.
DOCTOR: Nah, ain't found no organs 'round here in a while, business has been real slow lately. Dream creatures normally just eat whatever organ they find on the ground or the body parts just get up and walk away.

Matzen's voice echoes in your head

MATZEN: Great, now I gotta worry about my organs walking around or being eaten, being in a dream sucks.
DOCTOR: Yeah, it sure does...Anyway there's plenty a' other places to look I'm sure.

>>917409
>There are other places to look
Would she mind telling you where those places are?

Any good place to look at, some common place people tend to find organs, where organs tend to go?

>Hotel
You turn to walk back to the 3rd Hotel, but the second you turn around your met with the front door to the hotel without walking to it. Without questioning it much you enter the Hotel.

Inside the hotel the odd smell of rot hits your nose and makes your eyes water. You look around, the wallpaper is peeling and odd ooze drips from the ceiling. As you walk inside more you notice that the same acrid gunk is in puddles on the floor and sticks to your boots as you move. This place is absolutely disgusting...but not the worst mess you've seen. At the front desk a large creature made of the same ooze that covers the interior sits. It looks down at you. It speaks in an odd gibbering sort of accent

MANAGER: HeLlO! wElCoMe To tHe 3rD hOtEl! NoT aS gOoD aS tHe SeCoNd bUt BeTtEr ThAn ThE fOuRtH. uNfOrTuNaTeLy We OnLy HaVe OnE rOoM aNd iT iS oCcUpIeD. hOw ElsE mAy I HeLp YoU????????????

The manager coughs and hacks violently spiting up a glob of gunk onto the wall as he says this...

A long strand of gunk lowers from the ceiling, attached to it is the key to Room D3

>>918586
Would dream powers be capable of making it hard for dream denizens to look at the person with the powers?

Because if it’s one of Matzen’s organs, then that might be why the Manager can’t really look at the guy in the room.

>room key
Let’s go take a look. It’s not like we’ve got any other leads to follow.

Yeah alright let's go have a chat with the resident.

>Check room
You walk down the hall over more gunk puddles on the floor and use the key to enter the room.

The instant you enter nothing makes sense anymore, you can't seem to grasp any thing that's happening inside of the room aside from the fact that you are upside down, which makes this whole ordeal very jarring. The only thing you can see are a series of odd runes that pulse and glow in all around you swirling and jittering. You attempt to call for someone but you can't form words, you try to walk forward but you feel like your going nowhere, you attempt to feel the ground around you but cannot feel anything. You turn and try to feel for the door, luckily it's still there. The desk manager wasn't lying you don't think you can find anything like this...

>>918649
Ask Matzen if he’s got any idea what the fuck just happened?

>>918649
That symbol on the left was on a sign by the doctor.

>>918651
You're right. I think the second symbol also resembles the guy doing a handstand. Second to last symbol may look a bit like the guy running the counter too. This seems like a map with landmarks we need to follow in a specific order. Do we have anything we could right these down on to show others to help with directions?

Either way, we might want to go back to the hospital.

Ask Matzen if there's any way to make sense of all this dream stuff, youre just kind of stumbling around blind right now.

>That symbol on the left was on a sign by the doctor.
You do recognize it from the doctor's stall, you go back to the doctor and ask about her sign.

DOCTOR: What that? it's a cloudy-talk character. Dream denizens speak so many languages that it got confusing, so either a long time ago or very recently we all agreed on a common language. So now we use cloudy-talk to communicate with each other.
YOU: So what does that symbol mean?
DOCTOR: This is a doctor's booth, it means DOCTOR

>>918683
>I feel like you're doing fine so far
Says the guy who said that I’ve got a time limit to find your organs so you can get me outta here before Cenred pulls me back into the real world directly next to Channing!

So excuse me if I feel like I’m actually not doing fine so far!

>This is a doctor's booth, it means DOCTOR
Does it mean something else if it’s upside down?

Also it sucks that we can’t show her the other symbols to ask if she knew what they meant.

>>918683
Tell him there's someone who might be asking for a doctor.

>>918683
Do you know what a circle with a dot in the center over a spike means?

If we can't get anything, I suppose we outta check the sewers.

Turns around so your back is facing the doc.
Try to remember the symbols.
Visualise them. Then imagine them floating in front of you.
With any luck we can try and recreate them here and have the doc read them for us.

You inform the doctor that somebody in the hotel needs a doctor and she heads over with you. When you reach the hotel the doctor heads into the room and you wait for her to be finished. After about a literal second, She returns from the room.

DOCTOR: Poor guy bit his own head off on accident, couldn't get much help the way he was distorting the dream state either. Thanks buddy! If you didn't tell me 'bout this it probably would've ended badly for him.
YOU:...H-he "accidentally" bit his own head off?
DOCTOR: Yeah, happens sometimes. Anyway he said he was going to return a weird object left in his rooms that wasn't his, and on the way out he did it.

YOU:...Matzen you ever accidentally bitten your head off before?

Could this be half of one of Matzen’s organs? Because if it is, then this is going to take longer than we thought.

It’s Dream World logic. Don’t question it too much, since it’s not supposed to be possible in the Real World.

We checked the Hotel, so if the Doctor is right, then I gues we should try looking in the Sewers next.

Ask for directions on how to get there. And make sure you return the room key to the Manager before you leave!

You're body de-materializes out of the hotel and reappears at the rooftops, it gives you a headache. You climb down the ladder until you reach the sewers, you completely skipped the city street without noticing it somehow. You look around there's a man holding a fishing rod.

YOU: What's goin' on?
FISHER: I'm air fishin'!
YOU: Oh...you catch anythin'?
FISHER: Hell no! Air fishin' sucks! But I can't water fish cuz' all the waters gone!

Further past the Fisherman there's a path leading to a door, over the railing there's a ladder leading down, and a key tied to the railing next to it.

You climb down the ladder, there's a chest on the ground next to the ladder, you can move it a little but it's too heavy to lift up the latter. In front of you there's a fish looking guy.
FISH: Halt stranger! You stand before the DOOR GUARD OF THE UNDERDEEP. Speak your business!
YOU: uh, I'm looking for some organs my buddy lost...are you gonna stop me from goin' through here?
FISH: Well...no, I can't really. I'm only here to make sure no sewer roaches get in...it's a boring job. Through this door is water tower maintenance panel, something went wrong and now all the water won't flow so we're waiting for the engineer to do something about it.

Maybe try talking to the fisherman again, see if he's caught something useful now.

I think we'd have to climb all the way back down to the sewers to talk to him.

But I agree that we should look around up here before leaving, just in case something is up here.

You notice the water in the pipe lifted the chest up to the top, you drag it out of the water and near the key to unlock it. Inside you find the second half of the triangular key. You put the two halves together and they click to make a full triangular key.

You walk back to the door and slot the keystone into the hole. The door slides open.

Inside is a small room with a control terminal in the back, a metal canister sits attached to the top of the terminal. in the back of the room three monitors are attached to the wall

MATZEN: There, in that pipe canister, That's my lung in there.

>>919292
Look at the terminal to see if there’s a clue on what you’re supposed to type in.

Those monitors look like they’re showing specific locations. Monitor 4 looks like this area: >>916735 , Monitor 6 looks like this area: >>915810 , and Monitor 7 looks like this area: >>919120 .

Perhaps that’s got something to do with what you need to type into the terminal?

>>919292
That's odd, the pictures are labeled with numbers, and in the scenes depicted there are also numbers, but the numbers don't all match. The first one has "3rd Hotel" and is labeled with 4, the second one has "1 polygon point district" and is labeled with 6, the third one is "water tower #7" and is labeled with 7.
I wonder if the moon's position is a factor as well? I guess we'll just have to see what the terminal asks for.

None of these combinations work.

Maybe the number in the area relates to the words alongside them in someway, like third hotel's third letter is t. But how would the picture number relate?

>>919315
Maybe it’s just as simple as putting in the number of the locations on the monitors? Try 317.

oops it's "WATER TOWER No.7"
>>919315
Well I guess the hotel was upside down so instead of the fourth character from the left let's try the fourth from the right. That'd be "ogO".
I feel like it should spell something though.
Maybe it's the other way around, and it's characters from the right? "HsW" or "HsO" depending on if we count the period.

...or maybe we have to rotate each picture so the moon is on the top left. That would explain why "polygon point district" is vertical. It then becomes "district point polygon" instead. Maybe we're meant to ignore the bits that are directly related to numbers, so that's "hotel", "district point polygon" and "water tower"
Then taking the 4th, 6th and 7th letters, we get "eio" which still doesn't spell anything. 3rd 1st and 7th is "tdo"

Bleh. Might need a hint here.

... Dang it, I thought that by counting the number of images related to the hotel street and point I could do something.

Maybe it has something to do with the people ranting in those areas, but... nah, nobody was at the water tower... right?

... Waaait a minute. Let's do a word search of the word "Hotel" and find the 4th time it's used.

He removes the organ from the bag and slots it into his chest, taking a deep breath as he does so. His form looks a little more solid.

That’s actually very concerning. Someone actually took his organ, put it in a paper bag, and locked it in here. Something tells me that the enemy knows what we’re trying to do and is trying to make us waste time until Troy gets pulled into the Real World next to Channing.

Either that or it’s more Dream World logic that we’ve got no control over.

>We didn't take too long to get through this place but we ought to still keep the pace.
Oh good, I was worried about how long it took us to get through that.

Let’s get going.

You put your hand to the sheep's wool and sink into the cotton. You begin to slowly descend through soft wool until your descent speeds up and you start to fall faster and faster. You feel like you've had a dream like this once.

MATZEN: Hey...Cenred's close.
YOU: What? The guy tryin' to take me to Channing?
MATZEN: Yeah, I feel his presence on the other end of this sheep that and another presence. One that doesn't really belong in the Dream Plane.
YOU: I mean...he ain't a a threat is he? You said he couldn't kill me.
MATZEN: Yes that's what I said...but I'm worried he may have something up his sleeve if he's decided to appear so close to our position...be careful.

After your long fall you drop onto solid ground. Immediately you notice the large trees bearing eye-like growths on their branches. The weird fruits seem to be staring at you wherever you go. Maybe hanging around Roland's payed off somewhat, you can tell they're demonic in nature. Once again you sit under a night sky, though this time it is eerily quiet save for the howling wind and distant sobbing.

There's a vending machine underneath the tree to your right. Straight ahead you see a familiar building behind a gate. You can hear sobbing coming from there.

YOU: Matzen...I don't like this.
MATZEN: Yeah, me neither. Let's get a move on.

>Sobbing
2-1 that is either a sobbing girl or a cunning monster. 3-1 I got the phrases mixed up.

Sneak up on wherever that sobbing noise is coming from and then KIRBY MIKE!

>>919587
A prison huh? Check the vending machine first.

>>919586
>Cenred and another presence are nearby.
>The other presence doesn't really belong in the Dream Plane.
Please tell me Cenred didn’t bring Channing in here!

Unless that other presence is another person that’s trapped here, like you are.

>I'm worried he may have something up his sleeve if he's decided to appear so close to our position...be careful.
Odds are, he’s figured out what’s going on and knows Matzen’s helping you. Which means that he probably knows about the missing organs, so he’s going to do whatever he can to prevent you guys from finding them by stalling you guys as much as possible until he finally drags Troy to Channing.

>>919587
>Straight ahead you see a familiar building behind a gate.
A familiar building, huh?

Is it Channing’s hideout?

>What do?
Hope that now that Matzen has one of his organs, he’ll be able to locate the other ones a little faster.

Let’s check the vending machine.

Familiar building? Sobbing? I've got two ideas of what this could be. This is either a memory of the reason why Troy left the gang, or based on all the demonic eyes, we've wandered into Roland's dream. Either he's crying about his father, or he's remembering when he lost his eye.

Check the vending machine. If it doesn't seem useful, continue forward.

Aw jeez, what if Cenred dragged Roland into the dream world too, and stuck him in this prison?

>>919598
If it was Roland, I don’t think he would be sobbing. Unless he’s being shown something very tragic.

>>919586
>Cenred and another presence
Does he know where they are or is it like his organs, where he doesn't know exactly where they are?

>>919587
Check the vending machine

>Vending Machine
You walk closer to the vending machine. As you approach you hear the sound of rushing liquid and can feel rain hitting your face, but it feel's too thick to be water and smells too metallic. You look down at your hands and see red stains covering your arms. When you're close enough to the vending machine you see the source if the rain. A headless woman standing next to the vending machine. You hear her oddly robotic voice beep inside of your head...

Stop. Ask yourself: Are you questioning dream logic?

>>919643
Maybe we can bring this cursed knowledge to reality and kill Channing with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*

* Pronounced macron backslash underscore open parenthesis tsu close parenthesis underscore slash macron.

>>919638
Can't die in a dream, sure, but you can be dismembered. Just like Julia here.

>>919638
That's troublesome. Of course he wouldn't take this lying down. Thank the lady, take the gun, and start looking for that head.

Also, you really need better taste in guys, Troy. Did you think "don't stick it in the crazy" only mattered with women?

This some SCP foundation shit right here.

Ask if the gun has infinite ammo or a certain number of bullets, and then go fuck up that prison.

>>919640
Also, Troy, got a question for you. Would you consider asking Ichigo on a date? I'm sure once you get past how creepy he is and the fact that he eats people, I'm sure he's a sweetheart on the inside!

Unless, the real reason you asked Roland and Vol for a demon partner is becuase you want to try dating a demon?

>>919646
Maybe the trick is: If you're dismembered and then escape the dream, the damage will carry over to your body in the real world?

>>919649
I think the trick is: it fucking sucks to get dismembered. Also it'll make it hard for Troy to find the other organs.

>>919652
I bet we can speedrun this whole ordeal by removing all of Troy's internal organs and giving it to Matzen. I bet he's going to be 200% stronger with, I don't know, two hearts, two brains and two <insert organ here>.

>>919647
>Did you think "don't stick it in the crazy" only mattered with women?
In Troy’s defense, he didn’t know Channing was crazy when he had those thoughts of him. And hopefully he realized it before he tried sticking it in him!

>>919652
Or maybe if Troy’s dismembered into smaller pieces, Cenred can pull Troy’s body into the Dream World faster? Which would be bad, since that would speed up the process of taking Troy to Channing!

>>919654
Also, Troy, since Matzen can detect his organs if you’re directly next to them, ask him if he can detect one in this vending machine?

Or ask Julia if she’s seen any organs around here? And don’t give any bullshit of not being able to see without a head, since you can clearly see Troy without your head!

>The prison
You head towards the prison's gate, as you draw closer the sounds of crying get louder. You realize there are two different sources of crying, howling cries and screams coming from inside of the gate, and softer sobbing from a young man sitting outside of the gate. The kid's clutching a keycard which you assume opens the gate to the prison. The kid speaks between sobs

KID: I-it's all over...d-don't don't make me go back inside.

>>919851
Tell the kid that you won't make him go back in there, but you need to go in there to do something. Then ask for the keycard.

>>919853
Yeah, this seems good.

Ask him what happened.

>>919851
>Not at all...
Is it that hard to recognize someone if they’re missing their head?

Does Matzen know her?

>kid crying and holding a keycard
>I-it's all over...d-don't don't make me go back inside.
Tell him that he’s not going back inside, but you need to get inside to do something important. Then ask him for the keycard.

And ask him if there’s anything dangerous in there that you should watch out for?

Do You know this kid? Ask him what is he talking about?

Ask Matzen if there's any chance you could run into people who are just regularly dreaming in here. Could this kid just be someone having a nightmare?

KID: DEMONS

The kid's hand shoots forward dropping the card and gripping your arm, his crying growing louder and louder until it's shrieking sobs. Between breaths garbled speech echoes in your head.

KID: <(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU])<(KSZ+B2-4+B(fs9M?R*5uU]7

Math? Why is it screeching math at you?
Take your gun out and tell it to back the fuck off.

You have a gun and they have already opened their mouth wide open.
Feed it lead, feed it brass, feed it it’s death.

>Shoot
You break away from the demon's grasp and draw your gun. You fire a bullet right past it's teeth and hit the eye in the back of it's throat. The demon let's out a loud cry before falling to the ground lifeless.

Matzen materializes
MATZEN: So it's not just demonic looking tree's, there are demons in this dream too. That's just great, and from the look of it this things got a pretty strong Krueger effect to it...
YOU: Krueger effect?
MATZEN: It's a term used to describe anything that can kill a sleeping person through the Dream Plane. I don't know why these are here though.

>>921196
Might be that Roland summoned them, after the enemy forced him to, or fooled him somehow?

Anyway you can't treat this like a normal combat scenario. Dream logic is gonna fuck up your tactics. Let's try the stealth approach first.

Maybe the land of dreams has been affected by the great amount of demons leaving in the human world, many of them are capable human-like thought, so they should be able to dream as well, or maybe humans that have contact with demons all the time shape this world in consequence, but that is just speculation. In any case, you need to get going. Get in that building.

>>921196
>Krueger effect?
>It's a term used to describe anything that can kill a sleeping person through the Dream Plane.
So does that mean that if one of these things attacks Cenred, it’ll kill him? And if it does kill him, then that would let me wake up, right?

>>921198
>Roland
That’s a giant leap of logic that doesn’t make any sense at all. Would you mind explaining why you think anything involving demons tells us that Roland is somehow involved?

>>921205
He's sleeping nearby, and there are no pagans in the enemy gang.

>>921216
Just because he's sleeping nearby, that doesn't mean that he's involved. Also, wouldn't we only be seeing the demons that Roland has already seen and not these new things that we're seeing?

I think these are demons that naturally live in the Dream World.

>>921220
Why didn't Matzen just offer that explanation then?

>>921231
Because we didn't ask him to explain it and we're currently just guessing right now.

>>921235
He outright said he doesn't know.

>>921242
He said he didn't know why they're here. He never said he didn't know anything about them.

>>921245
What? Sorry, did you forget what started this sequence of replies? The ENTIRE QUESTION is why they're here.

>>921260
No, what started this sequence of replies was you jumping to the conclusion that because there are demons here, Roland must be involved.

And both of us are no closer to either proving or disproving if Roland is involved or not.

>>921261
In an effort to explain WHY THEY WERE HERE. And I wasn't "jumping to conclusions", I was postulating. That's why I said "might be".

This entire exchange was pointless. Fucking stop nitpicking my suggestions, this is like the fifth time you've done so.

Just YIKES out of there with your keycard, dream satan isn't even going to have a good luck trying to rip your throat off.

>>921196
Take the keycard and go inside. Prepare for more of these things.

>>921394
And make sure you keep the keycard with you in case it can also be used on any of the other doors inside.

>Might be that Roland summoned them
MATZEN: Does this Roland summon demons often? Anyway that's unlikely, Cenred needs a name, a face, and general location, and from the look of Roland from your dream he doesn't seem to go without those face wraps often. Plus Cenred probably doesn't know his name so he probably didn't manipulate him through his dreams.

>Maybe the land of dreams has been affected by the great amount of demons leaving in the human world, many of them are capable human-like thought, so they should be able to dream as well.
MATZEN: No that can't be it, The Dream Plane is created solely by the sleeping souls of Humanity. Demons may dream, but it lacks the same energy that a human dream does...So unless these demon creatures we're dragged in like you we're then...That's it! Cenred must've done this.
YOU: So... this might be the thing Cenred "Figured out"?
MATZEN: Possibly, Cenred may have had access to a number of sedated demon's with a decent Krueger Effect and let them loose here...that mean's Cenred knew we'd come here eventually...That or the dream logic made it so,but enough of that, we need to keep moving.

You use the key card to open the gate and enter the Prison. Inside the front hallway your met with a row of doors, many of them seem stuck shut but one to the left of you seems locked with chains. More importantly next to the lock door stands...someone, you can't make out who it is but you see a figure leaning next to the door. There's a door broken off of it's hinges at the end of the hall.

>>921426
Gun out, ask them to identify themselves.

>>921426
Careful when approaching that guy, there's no telling what might happen.

And watch out for that security camera up there. There's no telling who could be watching.

>>921426
Why are we taking this slow? We've got a revolver with infinite ammo. Just shoot everything, lol.

>>921426
>Does this Roland summon demons often?
He doesn’t summon demons, but he does have this weird ability to become friends with demons.

>Possibly, Cenred may have had access to a number of sedated demon's with a decent Krueger Effect and let them loose here...that mean's Cenred knew we'd come here eventually...That or the dream logic made it so, but enough of that, we need to keep moving.
“And to think that I was starting to get less worried now that I’ve got a gun with infinite ammo. Now I’m all worried again. I’m really hoping there’s a way to eventually get infinite silver bullets, that would make dealing with the demons much easier.”

>>921439
Just because we have infinite ammo, that doesn’t mean that we should use it carelessly.

JOHNNY-G: Jeez, I get not remembering every random murder victim's face but to not recognize your old pal? I am hurt Mister Porter truly you have wounded me even in death
JOHNNY-G: This place brings back memories don't it? Course it may be the head trauma but things look a bit different, I don't think there was nearly as much concrete...

Johnny turns his head to the chained door, his neck makes a horrible cracking sound as it moves.
JOHNNY-G: This door in particular, reminds me of that time Channing was in a shitty mood with how his goons coordinated themselves, it was fucking ridiculous how those grown men couldn't even line up right. Channing kept getting pissed because no one could keep themselves in the right position...
JOHNNY: 'Course we didn't need to worry 'bout that since Channing had some semblance of trust in our abilities to follow simple orders, emphasis on HAD. I'd be worried 'bout getting punished for not doin' my job right, but bein' dead means I get to avoid that...You probably won't get that luxury though if he get's his hands on you...Then again he was always lenient with you wasn't he?

>>921461
I didn't think I'd ever see you again. I'm sorry about the killing you thing, but I really don't think Channing is going to go easy on me, he already sicked Chucklehead and Chains on my ass. God knows I wish we could have all walked away.

So, is this really you? Is Jitter here too? Matzen only got here because his angel had dream powers.

And have you seen any organs around here? Or a disembodied head?

>>921461
Who.....? Oh, right, he’s the guy that teamed up with the snake lady and attacked you when you went to get your cactus and you got that meteorite shard for Roland.

Unless he’s going to tell you anything helpful (which I doubt he will since you killed him), you’re probably better off just walking past him.

Old pal? What a load of crap. Flip him off and keep going.

Oh, so he still has me in such a high regard to try to get me back as well? I am flattered. Anyway, why are you here? I am to pretty sure i didn't wanted to see you again, so what is your deal? You're going help, or you are going to bother me again? The later didn't went well for you last time.

>It should be a good rule of thumb that if you kill someone you're mad at, you can't be mad anymore. It's only fair.
Just because we’re not mad at him anymore, that doesn’t mean that he’s not mad at you for killing him. If you’re not careful, he may try to get you killed to get back at you.

>Some weird dipshit with piercing's was runnin' 'round with a wet paper bag, smelled like somethin' foul, and I did see a head 'round here, down that door way at the end 'a the hall.
Let’s go get that head. Julia might give us something to help us get through this place if we return her head to her.

You're pretty cool after all, Johnny G, I guess you can't be a psycho after being dead, huh? See you later, we're kinda trying to not stay dead right now.

>>921587
Thanks. Let's go get the head first.

>>921587
When someone you killed is haunting you, it's because they're holding a grudge against you and they usually attempt to kill you from beyond the grave.

Be careful how much you believe what he tells you and look out for imprints of his attacks, like he used against you when he was alive.

You thank Johnny and move on, it was...unexpected to see him here. Kinda awkward talking to someone you killed not too long ago.

You head through the door at the end of the hallway, there are two doors to the left of you, a set of double doors to your right, and a figure crouching down near the end of the hall.

Might as well get a little closer and see who it is. But be careful, this guy might actually attack you.

I would like to know who that is. If it is friendly, good, if it's not, we deal with it. Better to know their intentions now than to deal with it later in a more disadvantageous position.

The same as last time you approach the blurry figure as it comes into focus. It's Jitter, She's sitting quietly on the ground. Her face pale and her vein's bulging, it look's like she died of some sort of poison? You remember her being alive when Ichigo took, and you don't see why he'd do that to her. She must've done it to herself, possible from fear of going back to Channing after failing her mission. Channing does expect his troops to carry cyanide capsules on them. There are scratches on the wall next to her. A lot of it seems like gibberish, but you can make some parts out

I can never escape, like a snake trying to outrun it's tail I will always be followed. If I escape this monster I will face the wrath of Channing himself, I don't know which is worse...I'm scared even when I die I won't get to be free from this fear, the tiger always follows the rabbit...

There's another sentence beneath it

My real name is Belinda, it was a terrible name. Nobody killed me but myself

You try to talk to Jitter, but as usual she doesn't respond.

>>921894
You fire a shot at the lock, but the bullet ricochets off of it barely leaving a scratch.

>>921937
Tell her it's over now. She did her duty and stayed loyal to the end, Channing will have no ill will over her.

Enter the door next to her.

>>921937
Damn, I want to comfort her but I'm not sure what to say. I guess tell her that we'll deal with the monster she's talking about. Did Cenred do something to her? If the monster and him are two different individuals, we'll deal with him too. He is Channing's last influence in the dream realm, and once he's gone she can rest, he won't be able to reach her anymore.

Then go through the door next to her.

>If the monster and him are two different individuals, we'll deal with him too.
You assume by "Monster" She means Ichigo, he was the last person to have her. Cenred has no reason to be after anyone except for you, and Jitter and Johnny-G are both dead already.

You offer some words of comfort for what good they are, She doesn't even look at you, or maybe she does. it's hard to tell when her eyes are like that...

>The Door next to her
You open the door next to Jitter, it's a closet. On the shelf are a few metal coins, old world quarters, and your lighter! Now all you need is some cigarettes. There are also some letters son the back of the closet wall too.

>>921971
s that written with blood? What is that red stan in the shelf?
Take the coins too, you can use them for the vending machine next to the headless girl.

>>921983
I'm not sure it matters whether it's blood or paint in the dream world, it could have manifested that way for all we know.

Take the stuff and go through that other door nearby.

>>921971
Collect items, open the other door.
Not sure what this writing is, yet.

>>921971
Take your lighter and the coins.

>writing
I think it might be numbers that you’re pronouncing out loud, kinda like the color puzzle from the previous dream area.

Only I’ve got no idea what the numbers could be.

You pocket the items and enter the bathroom next to the closet.

The bathroom's in squalor. One of the sinks is even missing from the wall. There are three bathroom stalls against the wall and a small vent next to your foot, you can make out a shape inside of it. There's an AC unit next to the mirror.

You can hear breathing coming from one of the stalls...

Call out. Do you smell anything unusual?

This is probably another demon. Look under the door of the stall to see if you can get a clean shot. If not, step away and try to get them to come out.

>>922092
Is there anything in the hole where that tile on the floor is crooked?

>something in the vent
If you don’t have a screwdriver, you can use a coin to unscrew the vent and get whatever is in there.

>mirror
I wonder if this is one of those haunted mirror clichés? Maybe your reflection will jump out of the mirror to try and attack you? Or maybe when you look in the mirror, instead of seeing your own reflection, there’s something else there mimicking your movements?

Then again, this could be a situation where the enemy is invisible and you can only see where they are based on their reflection in the mirror?

>You can hear breathing coming from one of the stalls...
Look under the stalls to see if you can see any feet.

>Do you smell anything unusual?
Yes. Well, You're in a poorly kept bathroom so it all smells a little funky.

>If you don’t have a screwdriver, you can use a coin to unscrew the vent and get whatever is in there.
You attempt to use a quarter to unscrew the vent, but it's bolted on. You can sort of see inside now that you look closer. It's something attached to the top of the vent with a blinking red light on the side...it looks like a fire detector? Whys that in a vent?

>Is there anything in the hole where that tile on the floor is crooked?
Nothing.

>The Stall
You draw your gun and carefully look beneath the middle stall where the breathing is coming from, you don't see any feet. You then lift yourself onto one of the other stalls to look inside of it, you see something in the toilet. You open the stall and are met with a severed head in a dry toilet, though it's not Julia's. You recognize this joker, his hushed voice whispers in your head.

MULE: Well well well! (: if it isn't my good friend Troy! (: God I was hoping you'd died a while ago ):< Oh don't give me that look it's your fault I'm like this now! O:< You snatched my package right out from under my nose and I got the shaft for it! |:< Now Channing's gonna kill you and get the Seraphim! (: You've just wasted time and lives you fucking loser (:
MULE: And I get fucking stuck in this toilet why??? ):< I remember this bathroom |: Last place we met before I went on the run to deliver the stuff and you fucking stole it! D:< I hated this place! ):< The plumbing was always weird! |: If you dropped something down the sink it would get stuck in the pipes in the laundry room behind here! ): Then you'd have to flush one of the toilets to push it out of the pipe onto the ground, cause the pipes in there are shit too! D:< And guess what? (: The toilets almost never had water in 'em )':> So you couldn't flush em!!! D:<
MULE: ...Where was I going with that? ?:< Oh yeah, I hope Channing breaks you into pieces Troy! (:< Take some toilet paper! :D Maybe your ghost can use it to clean up the mess you're going to leave behind (:

The Toilet lid shuts suddenly, and when you open it again Mule's head is gone, what a jack ass.

...are we out of rooms to explore?
Check the other toilets.

There's another room behind the sinks. Blow some holes in the wall with that there gun.

>>922190
You think that fire detector could activate some sprinklers and get some water for the toilets? Take some toilet paper and burn it in the vent.

>>922201
The other toilet stalls, lack toilets completely and have nothing of interest in them. And you aren't out of rooms If you recall correctly there was a room next to Johnny's ghost in the first hallway...

>>922205
You pop some shots in the mirror...there's nothing behind it.

>>922206
That could work. You burn some toilet paper with your lighter and shove it through the vent slit, the smoke doesn't reach the detector though? There must be a vent above it bringing in the smoke. You can't really push the light tissue paper in further with such small vent slits, but you're sure the tissue paper is still useful somehow...

>>922223
Yeah but it's LOCKED.

>>922224
Can you shoot open the vent?

>>922224
There are AC controls on the wall next to the mirror and above the vent.

Perhaps if you turn the AC off, the vents will stop sucking the smoke away from the smoke detector?

>>922239
Of course, once we do flush the toilet, we’d have to look for the laundry room to get anything that may have fallen out of the pipes.

>Yeah but it's LOCKED.
That's true...but the way Johnny drew attention to the door made it seem like more than a normal door. Maybe examining it again could help.

>Can you shoot open the vent?
You pull out your gun and fire at the bolts, your bullet once again ricochets off of the vent and hit's you right in the forehead. Luckily you can't kill yourself in this dream, but it kind of hurts. Looks like that won't work.

>Perhaps if you turn the AC off, the vents will stop sucking the smoke away from the smoke detector?
You press the only functioning button on the AC panel. Instead of turning off the AC it increases the force of the sucking and pulls the tissue square up into the vent. You then see it fall out of a secondary vent behind the fire detector. The square has moved underneath the detector, but the flame has been extinguished from the fast trip through the vent.

>>922277
Use the doors to reach through a piece of toilet paper and grab the smoke detector.

>>922278
Not sure why we'd want to grab the detector itself. But the doors would be useful here. Put another piece of toilet paper inside, and use one of the papers to burn the other. You know, so you don't lose your hand or cut your hand off by deactivating the portal. You can't die, but I bet limb removal would still be a problem.
