Shit I forgot whats holding me back! Crap what was it? How could I forget something so important? Oh no once people realize I've forgotten all the other zen masters are gonna laugh at me again.

>What is holding this aspiring zen master back from achieving his quest for zen?

Hey! I'm Pawn_01 and I have 0 art skills and haven't done creative writing since middleschool, welcome to my quest first quest! I intend to keep it short and low prep as I'm really just testing the waters to see if I like doing this feel free to yell at me about how awful it is as I go!

Chakra machine is broken. repair man won't be around till monday

It's the copious amount of porn on your computer.You just can't keep your mind off of those curves

You were trying to let go of wanting to let go! Don't psych yourself out now! It's not important!

I think you forgot to just do it.

What's holding you back is an excess of limbs. Limbs are the final material possession.

You're tortured by the same existential question which has plagued humankind for eons: Why did the chicken cross the road?

You require many chickens and many roads to learn the answer to this burning question, so that you may finally achieve nirvana.

>>963070
Your pride. Why do you care if the other zen masters laugh? Abandon ego.

>>963071
I can't wait that long, Monday is 6 days away! I need to fix the Chakra Box now! Its got all my porn on it! Oh if only I'd gotten a degree in techincal zen instead of creative zen studies I could fix this myself.
>>963072
But the porn is on the Chakra box! If one must go then so must the other but I'm pretty sure the zen master who sold me the chakra box told me I couldn't ascend without it! And all that porn, that collection is my life's work, how can I posssibly learn to leave this behind? Collecting porn has always been so meditative for me!
>>963074
>>963075
How can I let go of letting go? Letting go (and all this porn) is all I have left!
>>963076
But sawing off my limbs would hurt! If I'm overwhelmed by pain how will I achieve the meditation I need to ascend?
>>963077
truly it is a higher mystery, but where will I get all the chickens I need to help me answer this question empirically?

I don't know what to do! Voices in my head that are surely a symptom of my closeness to true zen what should I do? Should I...
>Try and fix the chakra box myself and hope that it helps me ascend?
>Let the chakra box die and ascend without it and without the porn that has gotten me so close to zen?
>Focus on stripping away frivolous mortal trappings like limbs?
>Experiment with higher mysteries?
>something else? (explain what else the zen aspirant could be doing!)
please choose one or two options

Fix the box and grab some chickens. Now I'm not saying your zen porn involves chickens crossing roads, but I'm also saying we won't judge

You know when you feel down, turning yourself on and off again with all that porn you have gets you working again. Perhaps, if you turned the chakra box on and off again, it'll fix itself?

Uh, I got bad news if you think we're a sign of inner peace or tranquility... but regarding your efforts, I think you better fix the porn-box or whatever.

>>963088
Yeah! Turn it off and on again! A lot, over and over again. It's like a lightswitch rave except it's with the Chakra Box. A Chakrave, if you will.

I flip the on switch a couple of times and I swear It feels like I'm oscillating between closer and further from true zen, but its still not enough, we'll need more comprehensive repairs!
>>960387
I go to the hardware store and grab some tools that I think might help with computer repair, and then I drop by KZC to pick up some fried chicken hoping it'll work as well as real chickens for reflection on the greater mysteries but their deep-fryer is broken so they just give me some normal chickens, what luck!

Time to get to work! I flip around the chakra box and am confronted with a warning and four bolts (not screws!) holding the casing on the box together. I have A Screwdriver, A Crowbar, A Blow Torch, and Live Chicken (x4) with which to fix the box. Which tool here is best for prying open the casing?
>What tool should the zen aspirant use to open the chakra box and how should he do it?

What is a screwdriver without any screws? Untwist this mystery as one would untwist the bolts

My eyes are opened! Without a screw the screwdriver is purposeless, a tool with no use! It is nothing, disconnected from all worldly entanglements and released into a pure state of being! This screwdriver is a microcosm of zen. Many other zen masters have called me both useless and a tool in the past, were they hinting at this revelation all along? Were their laughs really not of mockery but of joy at sharing such divine truths? I feel as though by accepting the truth of this I have come closer to approaching the end of my journey to zen.

The case is still closed but my eyes are now that much more open. Is the path to enlightenment truly Chakra-based PC repair?

They say that the flap of a butterfly's wing can have crazy consequences on the other side of the world. Perhaps the flap of a chicken wing will have more localized effects that can help you open this panel

>>963098
you requested prying the crowbar is known to be the best at that.

>>963138
In the hopes of making the chicken flap its wings I toss it at high velocity out my window! As I turn around the bolts have disappeared! Truly this is revealing the interconnections of the universe to me!

The case seems like it has some glue on the inside as well as the bolts, however...
>>963140
this crowbar makes short work of it, and pries off the casing with ease! Inside looks pretty complex!

It looks like the whole thing is way out of wack! I see a cut wire to the light chi generator, the dark chi generator looks like its melted, the higher mystery analyzer is there but it has a red light on showing it has no higher mysteries to analyze, the plutonium diamond fission power source housing has a screw loose and is wiggling, and the spiritual balancer has no chi to balance with!

luckily the porn drive looks safe, that's a relief.

How in Buddha's name am I gonna fix this?

As long as you're in there, be sure to add some sickass RGB lighting and a tempered glass side panel. It's all the rage in the Chakra Box enthusiast community!

Also wave a chicken at it or something. Maybe while chanting, "CHICKEN FIX CHAKRA BOX, CHICKEN FIX CHAKRA BOX"

Hmm, use the screwdriver to tighten the screw-loose. Use a chicken to clean up the dark chi generator. Was their any higher mysteries left at the store that you could top off the analyzer with?

Also I dunno, try wiping that schmutz off of the dark chi generator. Probably has something to do with the problem.

>>963148
for one the light chi generator wire is not connected

>>963148
Okay: first tighten that loose screw.
Reconnect the light chi generator by scavenging the wire from the higher mystery analyzer. It's got nothing to analyze anyway. Then use your blowtorch backwards to unmelt the dark chi generator. The balancer should get back to work once the generators are going.
Then you can seal it back up again.

I add some multicolor LED strips to the top of the case, I can't ascend without ascending in style!
>>963151
>>963152
>>963154
I ratchet in that loose screw and use the blowtorch to melt the gunk off the dark chi generator, the I shamwowify that chicken to clean out the schmutz! Good combo move team!
>>963153
>>963154
I salvage some wire from the higher mystery analyzer, its probably not that important anyway right?

What do you say Zen voices of tranquility? Do you think I've done a good enough job to reseal this baby and watch porn for the next 36 hours straight and ascend to nirvana?

>>963166
wait to seal run it open to see if it works

>>963166
I changed my mind, swap the porn drive wire for the higher mystery analyzer.

The thing you forgot was to give up porn.

Yes, close the chakra box back up and have a nice evening of watching the most spiritually ascendant porn you can muster while petting the clean chickens.

>>963170
or watching higher mysteries (which might turn out to be back episodes of Unsolved Mysteries if we're lucky) if we go with >>963169's suggestion to swap the wires.

Well, that one chicken is now tarred and feathered and must therefor be a heretic that must be run out of town. Otherwse, close the box and enjoy the porn with the other chickens

that chicken you threw out the window mere minutes ago... quick! connect the higher mystery analyzer wires to your forehead and observe as the chicken crosses the street.

>>963168
I boot it once before going any further, it seems to be working fine.
>>963169
I... but... the p-porn... can I really go on without it? I have to ask myself now, zen voices, what do I really want? Do I want to follow >>963173 and truly shed my last connection to this earth and ascend pure having reflected on the highest of all mysteries? Or do I just want to hook the box up to my tv and watch porn on my widescreen with these hot chicks?

>What does the aspirant truly desire in his heart of hearts?

PORN WITH CHICKENS

Watch the porn. We are reaching the climax of the story, after all.

Why did the chicken cross the street? No amount of porn will answer this question. Achieve true Zen.

>>963182
you trained for this achieve zen (you may find out it still involves porn, if you don't like it I'm sure you can come back)

the real zen were the chickens we watched cross the road along the way. Ascend.

It is... its beautiful... the simplicity I cannot help but shed a single tear

Why did the chicken cross the road?
It didn't have a reason, it simply did. That is Zen

We've achieved Zen! Thanks for joining me on my first ever quest, it was a blast to run for you guys, I appreciate feedback even on silly stuff like this so feel free to go to the IRC or the discord and bother me about it there. Here are your stats:

Chickens Slain 2/4
Zens Achieved 1/1
Threesomes Had With Farm Animals 0/5
Porn Watched 0bytes/12terabytes
Computers Fixed 1/1

B+ Rank, Good job!

Credit to radial for the cluckholding pun, I almost forgot.

>>963206
Whoa, that is pretty zen.

This was a lot of fun -- thanks for taking the plunge and giving questing a shot, Pawn!
