Your name is...

Well that's funny. You aren't quite sure.

>>903
>in2ufferable douchebag

>>903
I GUESS SOLLUX (of the two dicks)

Rotpac Xullos.

>White piece of paper

>Karkat Megido. You are almost positive that is your name. P-probably.

>>909
This sounds the least fake, you guess. Your name must be Rotpac Xullos

>>910

It reads: plea2e get out whiile you 2tiill can.

>Get out whiile you 2tiill can and wonder why

Ignore the note. It's clearly Weird Time Shit.

You seem to have some choices.

>Go up.

How the fuck are you getting up there.

>>933
>Fly. Duh.

If he really has lost his memory then he may not know enough to know that trolls can't fly. >_>

>You're a psionic, douchebag. Eat some mind honey and float on up there.

That's the stupidest thing you have ever heard of. You can't fly!! And you have no idea what mind honey is either.

>Realize that you are trapped in "The Cube."

>Look through the doors to see what is through each one.

>Check that phone on the wall.

>>949
What am I even looking at.

>First, hang up the phone. Second, press the button that looks like 69.

>>951
>press the first button

>>950
this is so beautiful

>>962
SHIT I FORGOT THE HORNS. I ALWAYS DO THIS

>Karkat: Verbally troll this asshole.

KV: WHO THE FUCK IS EVEN CALLING AT THIS HOUR?
RX: Uh... Rotpac Xulloth?
KV: VERY GODDAMN FUNNY, SOLLUX.
SC: Oh, Thollucth ith it?
KV: OF FUCKING COURSE IT IS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. WAIT, WHERE THE FUCK AM I?
SC: I don't know. I wath going to call thomeone and thee if they knew who I wath.
KV: DID YOU EAT THE MIND HONEY?
SC: I don't even know what that ith.
KV: WHAT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
SC: Vaguely, I think.
KV: IT'S KARKAT. YOUR BEST FRIEND. OR BETHT FRIEND. REMEMBER? NOW LOOK, OBVIOUSLY SOME FUCKED UP SHIT IS GOING ON. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU ARE AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?
SC: I have no clue.
KV: FUCKING GREAT. WHAT CAN YOU SEE?
SC: Jutht thith empty room with two windowth and three holeth in the wall.
KV: YOU MEAN DOORS.
SC: Kind of.
KV: OK TRY TO STAY PUT I AM GOING TO TRY TO FIND YOU, OK? YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WELL.
SC: Thankth Karkat.
KV: OK BYE.

>press second button

>press second button

riing riing

riing riing

This person is not going to pick up. Maybe you should check those holes.
The darkness is almost entirely opaque.
Crawl in?

>>997
SOB

>Yes. Karkat may have said to stay put, but curiosity, it beckons.

>no. press the third button.

You want to enter the hole- but the curiosity of that third button is pulling at you.


What's that sound?

Well, in you go.

this is so surreal I love itttt

You still can't see. This tunnel seems really long. You feel like you would have bumped into that phone by now.

Go back?

>yes. try the phone again.

You hand lands in something kind of wet and sticky feeling. What now?

>examine inventory for something that can make light

>Somewhere in the back of your subconscious, pray this sticky mess has nothing to do with Equius.

>Simon, sidestep to your left.

You search for something that can produce light. You find an unfamiliar cell phone in your back pocket. You shine light on the floor.

You recognize this! It's your medicine.

Take?

>Sollux: How can you remember if you have to take medicine if you can't even remember your own name? Ponder this for a while before shoving it back in your pocket and continuing

>>1026
>Take one. You can take the other later when you figure out why the hell you even need medicine and your sure it won't kill you.

>Sollux: Flip through the cell phone's speed dial names.

You pocket your medicine and the phone back into your pocket. You try to think of why you could recognize that that was your medicine even though you can't really remember your own name. It's not very clear to you.

Maybe you should check the new phone?
Inspect your medicine?
Check the wall phone?
Go into another door?

>Check phone first, then try the last button on the wall phone just to see if you can get anyone else to answer.

> You take one of your pills. You feel much better already.

Now to check your phone

You check your phone.
Call any of these?

>call the fourth contact.

SOMEONE did not see eridan's symbol at the top oops

You miss the fourth one and hit the third one anyway.

NL: Who is this and how did you get that phone?!
SC: It'th Thollucth. I don't know, itth been in my pocket for a while?
NL: Oh my god.

She hangs up on you before you get to ask for any kind of explanation.

LOL FUCK WHERE DID MY USERNAME GO? Well anyway I will resume when I wake up again. I actually haven't slept since I started this particular adventure 36 hours ago. You can probably expect me back in 6 hours.

Was that... blood on the pills? Or was it just a reflection?

In either case....

>Inspect remaining pill.

>>1035

Sidestep into that hole in the floor, just like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciIfcYwI6Ps#t=0m42s

Whatever it was mostly rubbed off in your pocket. It is entirely possible

You remember to check that last number on your weird phone.

Your cellphone rings.

>check cell phone again. call the first number.

>Odd. Try the other numbers on the cell while checking any of the other dark passages you haven't looked in yet.

>wonder where Karkat is. He should've been here by now.

Karkat should have been here by now. You're sure that this place can't be THAT big. You try another number on your phone-

And hey. Wasn't this on the ceiling before?

Side ste-
I mean
Drop in?

>first, check to see if there are any messages on your cell.

Your name is KARKAT VANTAS and you have a perfectly good reason that you are not to Sollux yet.

>>1074
Q__Q AGFHFAH

You are now SOLLUX again. You seem to have two messages. Listen?

oh my goodness this is both frightening and wonderful

>inspect source of wound on TZ

>>1074
Aaaah oh no. ;-;

>Sollux: Listen to messages. Also, weren't there windows in here? Check them if you can. Maybe it'll clue you in on where you are.

>Karkat: Find out what happened to Terezi

Oh man this is so eerie and creative and interestiiiiiiing. I am captivated to the eleven.

Terezi's wound seems pretty straight forward. But how did it happen...?

>>1084
Ensure Terezi is still alive. If she is, then call Equius for help. If not, mourn.

Terezi seems to still be alive. You use your shirt as a tourniquet and try to call Equius for help.

>Sollux: Pick up.

>Terezi: Wake up.

You pick up.

KV: EQUIUS, GET THE FUCK OVER HERE. I THINK WE'RE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SC: ... Karkat? I'm thorry but I think I have hith phone
KV: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH HIS PHONE?!
SC: I don't know, I woke up with it.
KV: ARE YOU REMEMBERING ANY SHIT YET? SORRY I MEANT TO GET YOU THERE IS JUST SORT OF THIS EMERGENCY.
SC: Thort of. I found my medithine and took one.
KV: GOOD. FUCK. OK I AM GOING TO TRY SOMEONE ELSE. YOU MAY HAVE TO COME TO ME. TEREZI'S HURT REALLY BADLY. COME HELP ANYWAY MAYBE YOU CAN CAUTERIZE THIS OR SOMETHING.
SC: I'm on my way.

You are now TEREZI PYROPE. You are experiencing pain beyond words.

You are Sollux again. You were going to check messages, right?

MESSAGE ONE.

Heyyy Equius there is some unrad fuckin shit goin on brother. Listen man when you get this call me right back alright? It's pretty fuckin' urgent.

END MESSAGE ONE

MESSAGE TWO.

(All you can hear is uncontrollable sobbing)

END MESSAGES.

Call back missed caller one or two?

You decide not to call anyone back. You've got someone to cauterize! Somehow! You check out the window to give you a clue where to go. You can see some faint light through some other windows.

How are you going to get to Karkat and Terezi?

>>1099
missed caller one

>BREAK WINDOW WITH HORNHEADBUTT AND CLIMB OUT

I wanted to pause really quickly and thank everyone for the very nice things you've all said : ] If anyone who is lurking here wondering if they should drop a comment in PLEASE DO. I read them all and I consider them all. I am drawing constantly so I appreciate constant feedback. <3

>Sollux: Call Karkat and ask him for directions or landmarks. Failing that, ask him to yell really loud when you hang up to see if you can hear him.

>Terezi: Smell Karkat and a shit-ton of mint. Feel a mixed sense of relief and panic.

You proceed to try to break the glass.

>Terezi: Tell Karkat what happened.

OW FUCK.
You HAVE Equius' phone- YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY EQUIUS.

You are now bleeding from a crack in your horn.

>>1114
>FUCK YOU YOU BREAK THAT WINDOW YOU FIND SOME SHIT TO BREAK THAT WINDOW WITH LOOK AROUND FOR WINDOW BREAKING SHIT

>Karkat: Yell at Sollux and tell him that if he does not get here fucking ASAP, Terezi's death will be practically murder and entirely Sollux's fault.
>Sollux: Become increasingly stressed, panicked, and frustrated, and use your crackly red and blue energy to explode the glass outwards (so as not to get a face full of glass shards).

>Sollux: Call someone and ask them to find Terezi and Karkat and do the cauterizing for you

>Karkat: Stop moving Terezi around, trolls don't bleed out from things like this.

You are now TEREZI. You get a hold of yourself and tell Karkat to stop simpering like a grub. It sure looks like a lot of blood, but you'll be ok. No, really. Are you crying? Bend down and let me taste that you whiny baby.

the stress seems to be getting to you.

what now?

Ack! Oh dear!

>Calm down, calm down enough to call back one of the people who left a message. Maybe the first one?

>Direct stress window-ward and totally fuck its shit.

You fuck that window's shit

You have revealed the option of Going Outside.

Go Outside?

>>1134
FUCK YEAH!
Call someone while you explore outside. Maybe the first option in your contact list, the one with the two rows of wavy things?

Take unvaporized glass with you in case you need to activate your blood magic again.

>Call Karkat to tell him you found a way outside, then head out

You have calmed down somewhat and decide to head outside. You decide to call Karkat first, then resolve to figure out who the rest of the contacts are.

>Sollux: tell Karkat about the way out, and also about the messages.

You resolve to take a piece of glass with you. This is clearly how your magic is activated.

You call Karkat.

SC: Hey, Karkat, I got out of the room I wath in. I'm going to head to yourth.
KV: GOOD WORK I GUESS. I THINK TEREZI IS GOING TO BE OKAY AT LEAST FOR A WHILE. WHAT CAN YOU SEE OUT THERE?
SC: A lot of windowth and doorth and thuff. What if you marked the window of the room you're in? That would really help me out.
KV: I'LL GET ON THAT. YOU'RE SOUNDING LIKE YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE. DO YOU STILL HAVE AMNESIA OR WHATEVER WAS GOING ON?
SC: Thort of. Oh- I jutht lotht my thit and blew out a window. Could you hear it? It wath pretty loud.
KV: NOT AT ALL.
SC: Thit. You mutht be nowhere near. Hey lithen, I thill don't know too much about mythelf. Can you tell me how much medithine I usually take?
KV: FOUR OF THOSE BIG YELLOW ONES.
SC: Do you happen to know why?
KV:ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? FOR YOUR BIPOLAR BULLSHIT DISORDER AND THOSE VOICES OR SOMETHING. YOU CAN HEAR THE SCREAMS OF TROLLS ABOUT TO FUCKING BITE IT.
SC: That'th weird. I haven't heard any voiceth of people who seem like they are going to die.
KV: THAT'S... CAN I GET BACK TO YOU ABOUT THAT ONE? I'LL MARK THE WINDOW WITH SOME TEAL.
SC: Thure. I'll call when I thee it. Hold on. I got thome methageth on thith phone. One wath from thomeone that thounded like he had some brain problemth and the other was jutht crying. They both seemed like they were in a lot of trouble. Does thith mean they aren't going to die or ith thomething really wrong?
KV: OH FUCK. OK JUST HURRY UP WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT WHEN YOU GET HERE
SC: Okay, bye.

You call the first contact in your phone.

EA: Equius? Hey I'm glad you called cause like there is something really fuckin weird goin on.
SC: Thith ithn't Equiuth, I jutht found hith phone. Who did I call? And why are you whithpering?
EA: Eridan. I'm whisperin cause I don't want the things on the ground to see me. They seem like they don't got eyes. You're... Sollux, right? Fef mentioned somethin about you before. This works, too. Listen I have no idea where I am in relation to you. My phone is about to die. I am hidin' from some weird things on the ground.Listen I'm goin to put my scarf on this branch. It's purple. Please hurry, I don't want to die.
SC: What'th on the ground?!

You have been disconnected.

Just 'cause I haven't said it yet even though I've been trying to post suggestions.
I'm loving this so far, I'm on the edge of my seat. Aaaah I can't wait to see what happens next.

>Call back... um the first guy who left a message.
He did say it was urgent.

Oh shit.

>And keep an eye out for weird creatures

This is a really eerie adventure and I have no fucking clue what could have happened before the story started, it's actually making me a little nervous! But I mean in the best and most exciting way possible.

>Sollux: Poke ground with shard of glass before setting your foot down.

>Consider taking the other pill.

Karkat said they keep you on track. They might help you remember. Apparently there's some serious shit going down and you need to be aware.

Then again, you might need it later.

You are momentarily KARKAT and trying to block out what you are doing from your consciousness

>Karkat: Examine shoulder marking

>Karkat: Distract yourself by examining the crop circle on your back.

>Terezi: Smell whatever that is on Karkat's back.

>Karkat: Captchalogue Terezi's shoe. Captchalogue the encryption vaults until they're heavy enough to smash through the floor.

You have no fucking idea what this is.

Is that thing drawn or carved on him? It's hard to tell since it's red.

You are GAMZEE MAKARA and you have found something strange on the floor.

What the fuck is it? It looks a little rubbery, yet stiff. And covered in some nasty smelling jam, for sure.

>>1161
o-oh god
>Gamzee: Examine surroundings.

>Gamzee: Become aware of lack of face paint.

You examine your surroundings. You look back the way you came. It's just been this crazy long hallway! Until you ran into that crap on the floor you haven't seen anything at all. You don't even have your face paint on proper pants! You are aware of both facts and it makes you very uncomfortable!

>Gamzee: check pants for pockets. Check pockets for useful items.

>Gamzee: Conference call with everyone in your speed dial. Maybe a motherfucker can get an answer up in this bitch from one of them by now.

You are about to check your pockets when you get a call!

SC: Thith is not Equiuth. Thith is Thollucth.
GM: Ahh Alright Thollucth. Where's Equius?
SC: No- It'th- nevermind it'th unimportant. I don't know where Equiuth ith. I have hith phone. I also do not know why that ith. Do you know where you are?
GM: Man, I'm in this craaazy long hallway. It's fuckin all kinds of fucked up, brother. I can't even tell you how long I have been walking in this fucked up shit.
SC: No windowth or doorth?
GM: Naw man. Just this weird shit on the floor. I think it's skin, man. Except the blood part is red.
SC: Oh fuck, that mutht be Karkat'th.
GM: He has red blood? Aw fuckin trippy-
SC: Nevermind. Are you thafe?
GM: I am for fuckin sure right now, man. Thanks for asking. Are you ok?
SC: Mothtly. Try to find a window or break through a wall or thomething. I'm outthide and I'm trying to rethcue thome people right now.
GM: Oh yeah. Look man, if you see some fuckin crazy dude with a blade just like don't make any noise. He can't really see you, I don't think he has no fuckin eyes to see with, man. He'll walk right by.
SC:Thankth for the warning. I'll keep in contact.

>look for a purple scarf in a tree and for the teal window

You start a conference call with everyone who will pick up.

KV: GAMZEE WHAT IS IT?
GM: Yo chill up and tell me what is going all up in this bitch.
TN: Uhhh... Uhh guys this is kind of a bad time. But the kind of bad time where you should really come help me but where I shouldn't be on a phone.
KV: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT.
GM: Is that fucked up motherfucker there?! Don't say a fucking word, bro!
KV: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT TOO?
GM: There is this crazy shit fuckin uncool motherfucker that is after us, man!
KV: THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.
GM: Tav, man are you okay? I can't even hear you breathing. I guess that's a fuckin good thing. Just make sure he can't hear you.

Tavros disconnected.

KV: OH WOAH WHAT THE FUCK.
GM: Fuck! Fuck! Let me call him back!
KV: DON'T FUCKING DO THAT. YOU'LL MAKE HIS PHONE RING. MAYBE HE DID THAT SO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MURDERING ASSHOLE WON'T HEAR HIM?
GM: I sure fuckin hope so. Oh man oh man oh man
KV: SHUT UP A SECOND. I KNOW YOU'RE WORRIED BUT TELL ME ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU.
GM: Oh man augh okay so like I'm in this shitty long fuckin hallway. I ran into that motherfucker but he didn't touch me cause he couldn't see me. But it looks like he got at you cause there's your skin and blood on this fucking floor, man.
KV: WHAT THE FUCK!? MY SKIN. OH MY GOD. DON'T TELL ANYONE-
GM: I won't! I won't. Not that is probably fuckin matters right now anyway- Where even are we?
KV: I DON'T KNOW. TRY TO STAY CALM AND QUIET. LET'S GET OFF THE LINE SO TAVROS CAN CALL US. TELL SOLLUX TO TRY TO FIND HIM.
GM: Alright, my brother. Fuckin. fuckin good luck out here.

The call has ended.

>Gamzee: be Tavros

>Eridan: Put scarf on branch.

>Be the guy with no eyes.
Wait why would i ask for this, especially right before I'm going to bed.
brb preemptive nightmares.

You are now the guy with no eyes. You can hear a little shuffling. Examine?

>>1173
>Examine shuffling.

>ignore shuffling, it could be a animal

>examine shuffling, it could be an animal; how fucking long's it been since you ate?

Something is definitely there, isn't there?

There is definitely something trembling. Quite violently, too.

>Tavros: use remaining horn. Impail that sightless bastard.

THIS IS SO -EXCITING! 38)

>eridan: quick, while he's distracted, land a blow on that eyeless fucker's ass and then abscond to try and find sollux!

>>1180
ALSO A LITTLE TERRIFYING??
I don't want to wish harm upon Tavros, nor do I want to sightless guy to be any less badass and mysterious, so I will sit tight for now.

YOU LUNGE FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE WORTH

You are now Sollux, looking for some scarf in a tree or a teal window. It's really fucking dark out here. You haven't seen anything prowling but you're clutching that piece of glass anyway and have your phone at ready.

What do you do now?

>Sollux: Use blood magic to make a light.

You're sure about this?

>Sollux: Be so unsure that you suddenly become Eridan in your unsureness.
>Eridan: Hang scarf on branch and look out for that eyeless motherfucker.

>decide against it, this eyeless guy might be able to smell

>just use your cell phone against the trees

here goes.

Your name is ERIDAN AMPORA and you have been in this fucking tree for hours. What now?

>>1191

>fall out of tree

>Eridan: Check you sylladex and strife deck. Maybe you have your crosshairs.

If you had ANY OF THAT SHIT you wouldn't BE in this situation!!!

>>1194

>Eridan: You're so alone. Burst into tears.

You are pretty much all alone.

You have learned a teensy bit late that there is no such thing as blood magic.

>Sollux: Shit, where are your glasses?

>Sollux: Wonder if it's your horns in particular that trigger the magic. Try hitting them or smashing them against something again.

>>1201
I love you a whole lot. I am going to sleep and come back to this. I'll actually set an alarm so I don't sleep for TWELVE MORE HOURS UGH. If anyone else is up at noon EST please continue commands <3 and if anyone is on the mspaforums please send some commands that way, too. They are way behind on their plotline, but I think they already bad ending'd sollux. OH WELL.

OH DAMN IT
i caught up ; A ;
THIS IS SO GOOD THE SUSPENSE IS KILLIN ME

>Gamzee: Call Sollux, tell him about Tavros.

>Sollux: Bandage hand and continue to look for a scarf.

>Sollux: Find scarf, bandage hand with it.

>Tavros: Do not, under any circumstances, die as a result of your crazy gambit.

I am currently on the shittiest bus. Some idiot set the wifi to' password protected so I have updates for you guys but no way to deliver. In currently posting thrift my phone. I'm going to extend this adventure for another week to nake up for lost time, alright?

Good Unperson. BEST ADVENTURE.

It looks like Sollux found you!!

What is that...?

>Eridan: Untie your scarf and climb down. Sollux is a psionic and can surely protect you.

You begin the descent down the tree, trying to be sure of your footing. But it's so dark and foggy- it is a little tricky.

>call out to sollux! he can't protect you if he doesn't know you're there.

You call out to him! You still can't see very well since there's so much fog but it really looks like there's two people down there.

What now?

>sollux: help eridan down and abscond the fuck outta there!

You're about to go help Eridan, but your head starts pounding.
Take your medicine?

>take medicine. now go help your friend!

>Eridan: Your rival is sick and bleeding. Take this opportunity to elbowdrop him.

>yesyesyes take your meds

You are now out of pills.

> Hmm... that might actually bite us in the ass later, shoot. Oh well, go get Eridan, I'm sure he's glad to have company that's not some freaky creature.

Eridan sure got really far away. You still can't see the creatures he was talking about earlier.

Gog he's far away. This is getting ridiculous. It's like the damn thing is moving.

What are you going to do?

>Eridan: It looks like he saw you, probably, might as well get down. Don't forget your scarf.

>You're underdosed, take a few deep breaths and give the world some time to make sense.

You're feeling really sick. It's getting really hard to get all the air you need. You're feeling really light headed. You feel like you need to just vomit.

Vomit?

>Do not vomit. You'll vomit up your pill. Struggle to keep it down.

Maybe if you concentrate hard enough everything will stop spinning so much.

>Sollux: Concentrate.

Oh noooo tavrooos. D:

Aaaaaah I don't know what to suggest.

>Sollux: Use Eridan's touch as a grounding point and concentrate.

>Eridan: Careful, he looks pretty sick.

>Karkat: Check on Terezi.

>Gamzee: Tavros hasn't called back yet... If Karket's cut skin is here there must be a way out. Search quietly.

Eridan: Swallow down feelings of kismesitude for once and be gentle, caring, and goddamn helpful.

>Terezi: Smell around for other trolls or anything of note. You might not be able to walk, but you can be Karkat's bloodhound.

>Tavros: Call everyone in your list and let them know about the status of you being dismembered.

>Eridan: Help a bro out, he just found you. But....don't stand in front of him. Gut instinct.

You've regained your composure.

>check eridan's inventory. maybe he has more pills if you need them. or something else useful!

>Eridan and Sollux: Examine surroundings, look for Karkat's window, etc.

You are TAVROS. You are currently being dragged to what you assume is your death. You are praying that ANYONE please god ANYONE PICKS UP.

>eridan: pick up.

>Everyone on Tavros' list who is capable of doing so: Pick up.

You are Sollux. Your hand is no longer bleeding everywhere. Eridan can't pick up his phone, it is dead!

>Sollux, Karkat, + Gamzee: Answer phone, conference style.

>Kanaya and Vriska: Pick up phone.

>>1385
Seconding this.

>Anyone: pickuppickuppickuppickup

TN: Uhh guys.. anyone... Please help. Please, please..
VS: What's the matter, Taaaavros?
GM: Are you fuckin ok, man?!
KV: OH FUCK OH GOG YOU'RE ALIVE
TN: uhh yeah I don't really know how long for though guys. Guys you gotta find me I'm getting dragged off somewhere and I'm bleeding a lot.
VS: What! Where are you!?
TN: I don't really exactly know I can't see that well I think I hit my head really bad...
KV: FUCK. FUCK.
VS: Shut up, Karkat!
KV: NO YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. TAVROS ARE YOU STILL THERE?
TN: Yeah I'm uh I'm here but I don't know where I'm going.
GM: Oh fuckin shit man what's the damage?
TN: I'm uh pretty sure I don't have any horns left and I can't really feel it anymore but I'm looking at my hand and it is not there.
KV: GOD DAMN IT VRISKA YOU FUCKING BITCH YOU HAD TO CRIPPLE HIM AND NOW HE'S GOING TO FUCKING DIE AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN EVEN DO ABOUT IT.
VS: It probably would have happened anyway eventually. Mr.Eyeless knows who's an easy target.
TN: Do we really have to do this now? Can we all just try to find me? Everything is really numb and I don't know if I'm gonna make it ok. Ok just please find me I can't-
GM: I CAN FUCKIN HEAR YOU. I can fuckin hear your voice down this hole it's a fuckin miracle let me just jump in this bitch I will be right there ok I will be right th-

????!?
==>

>Gamzee: Leap down onto whoever is dragging Tavros. Pray to your clown gods for a miracle as you fall.

>Gamzee: DON'T DIE. CONTINUE TO BE ALIVE. YOU'LL MAKE IT. MIRACLE!!!!!!!!

you're out of miracles.

Tavros: See Gamzee's blood dripping. Inform the other two people on the phone what happened.

You bitch. >_>

What the fuck!!
And then then were eleven. Or more like ten and a half.

I...I think technically there's still a chance for him to be okay if they can get him to Feferi to dream revive him. Maybe. Possibly. *sob*

>>1402
fsdxhcfjgkvbhjknlm-SOB-

>Tavros: inform the others, I'm sure you heard it.

By some cruel twist of fate you are not yet dead.

>Vriska: Mindjack the guy dragging Tavros and make him kill himself. You have to do everything around here.

fdlkjasfklasl;kfjlas
NOOOOO.
{hey which trolls are we still missing?}

You try to mindcontrol Mr.Eyeless!

You are having some difficulty- but he's no loner holding onto Tavros anyway!

[Technically we have not seen Aradia, Kanaya, Feferi, and Equius)

Sollux: Call the person who left the second message

Kanaya, Aradia, Feferi, and Equius. Nepeta's status is questionable, since she just picked up her phone, flipped out, and hung up.

Oh hey, Vriska still has her arm. Okay, so Terezi isn't blind then. So...Aradia isn't dead either then, presumably.

The other person picks up. She can't seem to talk very well-

You're not sure why this is making you cry.

> be person on the other end

>Nepeta: Status report!

You are the person on the other end. You are missing several of your teeth and maybe your tongue, you don't really want to check. They stopped bleeding a while ago but it still hurts really, really badly.

>Feferi: Verbally replace D with a G noise from the back of your throat. Replace J with a slurred SH. Replace K with a coughed sort of K equivalent. Replace L with an R sound from your throat. Replace N with M. Replace S with a slurred SH. Replace T with a coughed sort of K equivalent. You can do this. You do not need your tongue. If you can't communicate over the phone to one person, how are you going to be empress?

You are now NEPETA. You have a very STRONG hand on your shoulder, and he's telling you that it's going to be alright but you are a little annoyed because he's very obviously lying.

FP: shurricks rishin you neeg 'oo comprete a pushre. Ish goimg ko be rearry harg bu' I'rr wark you frou i'
SC: I don't underthand.
FP: Carr me back uen you're insige. Shere's a pushre you hash 'oo 'o am shafe eryome.
SC: I don't- Where can I find you?
FP: Bashemenk.
SC: I- I'll be right there.

You actually have some choices now. Heading back the way you came, things seems to have aligned a little differently. Are you going to go to the room you woke up in, the basement, or the second floor with all that teal stuff on the window?

>Sollux: Tell Eridan where Fef is, but go to the teal-stained window. You've still got a wound to cauterize.

>Go to the basement, maybe you can do the puzzle fast and help everyone.

>Sollux: Go to the Teal stained window room first to gather Karkat and help Terezi. Tell Eridan that Feferi is fine. Don't mention where she is. Splitting up is just such a fucking bad idea. The sooner you're all together, the easier it will be to not die.

>>1432
This.

>>1432
this.

>Vriska: Mindjack everyone for a couple seconds each, both to gain an idea of how everyone is doing and, if applicable, to have them leave messages to themselves (on their phones, in their blood, whatever) detailing where you are and any other pertinent details. Skip people you know are too hard to get control of. Consider taking more permanent control of Equius and just smashing through walls until he's found you.

You explain that it was Feferi, but you need to head to Karkat and Terezi first.

He asks where Feferi is, but you tell him that neither of you can afford to split up.

Eridan lets you know that this is unacceptable. In his rage, he intends to kill you.
You have exactly one minute until you or he is dead.

Time's up.

You have ruptured most of ERIDAN AMPORA's internal organs.

You are a sick bastard. That is all.

>Readers: BSOD
..d-didn't you say you were gonna extend it another week?

Oh don't worry. It's not over.

G-goddammit, bad time for me to leave the computer. ;-; Oh nooooo Eridan!

Uhh. I think murderous rages are a little out of character for Eridan. I mean I know he attacked Sollux in Homestuck, but I assumed that was an attempt at Kismitude or a jealousy thing, not a "kill the only person who knows where Feferi is" thing...

Oh well. Your story. I knew I should have mashed F5 more.

>Sollux: Realize stress triggers your magic. You have plenty of that. Start tearing this place apart looking for help. You've got magic, maybe somebody else has magic that can heal him. Be mindful not to kill any other trolls while doing so.

Well fuck, what now?

//// Okay, I feel like I should explain myself a little. Just to be a little more fair cause I did not give any warning. The implication of the ACT QUICK is that if no answers are input, I pull out one of the WORST POSSIBLE scenarios. If someone got to input command in time, Eridan would have probably realized he was being ridiculous, or Sollux would have talked his way out. We are dealing with people that have been locked in this sort of nightmare for WHO KNOWS how long. No one is exactly thinking straight.

The other implication is that Sollux thought he was going to be killed- not that this was totally true. The other other implication was that if no one acted it wasn't a coin toss, Eridan was going to be killed. I just like being a tricky, ambiguous bastard. Sorrryyyyyy

i do think it's a little unfair to do that when we didn't know what you meant by time sensitive in the first place. :c i mean it's your adventure but....

It's supposed to be entirely unfair. Anyway, get back to some commands. This is still entirely fixable~

Oh my god, I know this will sound horrible but I'm really excited by the fact that this is clearly not one of those stories where, regardless of danger and actual threats, somehow everyone manages to make it out alright. A lot of this stuff is pretty sick sick, like Fef's recently discovered injuries or the fact that Gamzee is still alive and has been speared through his stomach, and the antagonist is creepy as fuck, but it's all really exciting and makes the story seem volatile and the danger real. MAJOR KUDOS on the sick fuckery, lmao. You are a gutsy author who pulls it off well.
Also, out of curiosity and for lack of being able to the font in the OP, what's the title of this adventure?

>Sollux: pick up and carry Eridan, find Karkat and ask him and Terezi if they know of any way to fix Eridan.

Are you sure you want to bring him all in one piece like that?

They're going to know you killed him.

Perhaps it would be wiser to take a piece of him and blame his death on Mr.Eyeless.

Can't fef just kiss him back to life?
anyway,
>Karkat: watch the red and blue lights flash through the window.

Wait I forgot that no one even uses AIM anymore. It's a reference to the song "Godspeed" by Inhale and Swordfish II and to "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison.

>Sollux: Can't you, like...give him the kiss of life or something. Like Feferi?
>Alternatively, (ohmygodselflol) FIND FEFERI'S TONGUE AND THWACK IT IN ERIDAN'S FACE TO BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE.
I don't know if it that's a serious command.
0_0

>Sollux: They have no reason to believe you killed him. It's not like he has red and blue scars. Take his whole body, but lie and say he fell out of that tree. That could do something like this. Maybe

>Sollux: Leave him and go find Karkat.

>you can tell them it was an accident. which it kinda was. now stop dithering, every second brings him closer to death and he is the guy who bandaged up your hand. he only got mad at you because he was worried about feferi! now stop being a heel and bring him with you, don't just leave him to die!

You are now KARKAT VANTAS. You are REALLY HAPPY because you'd know that stupid combination of blue and red anywhere!

/// NOT NOT NOT I REPEAT NOT for people of a very gentle disposition. But here is one of my inspirations.
http://inhale.bandcamp.com/track/godspeed-swordfish-ii

SORRY I DELETED TO EDIT and I forgot the title. It's "Belly of the Beast".

>Karkat: you're happy for once? wow, you'd never thought the day would happen

>Sollux: grab eridan's body and drag him upstairs, explaining it was an accident, since it totally was.

You resolve to take him with you and head towards Karkat.

>Gamzee: call out for Tavros

>Karkat: Run out to meet Sollux. Take Terezi with you.
>Sollux: Tell them the truth about what happened! ...Only perhaps exaggerate your story and make it a little more sympathetic in your favor- Eridan DID suddenly attack and begin to strangle you out of nowhere, after all.

>Sollux: make it up without any trouble
>Karkat: punch him out for almost killing Eridan

OKAY LISTEN. YOU TRY TO DEAL WITH THIS HORSESHIT FOR HOURS AND NOT BE FUCKING ECSTATIC WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BEST FRIEND IS NOT DEAD AND ACTUALLY GOING TO COME GET YOU AND MAYBE YOU CAN LEAVE THIS OBSCENE LABYRINTHINE FUCKERY.

You and Karkat make it outside without incident!

Yaaay!
>Meet Sollux halfway.

>Sollux: see Karkat and MEET HIM HALFWAY YESSSS

i can feel disaster coming
either that, or we change to a different character

>Sollux, Karkat, Terezi and Eridan: Reunite like a loving family

>Karkat and Sollux: Exchange worried glances at the bodies you are each holding.

>Sollux: Ask how you're supposed to seal her wound without doing to her what you did to Eridan.

You are Terezi and you smell deceit welling up.

What are you going to say, Sollux?

>>1500
>ii diidnt mean to kiill him

>>1500
>He attacked me. It wath an accident. We need to go find Feferi in the bathement.

>Sollux: tell them the truth: you thought he was going to kill you and you freaked the fuck out. how do you fix it?

>Karkat, Sollux: Tearful reunion.
Then,
>Karkat: What the fuck happened to Eridan!
>Sollux: What the fuck happened to Terezi!

>Sollux: tell the truth, its bad to lie

You fess up.

SC: I thought he wath going to kill me. I really, really didn't mean to-
KV: OH MY GOG WHAT ARE WE GOING TO FUCKING-
TP: Shut up a second, Karkat!
SC: I- I think we can fix thith! Letth get him to Feferi- The's in the bathement.
KV:THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE.
SC: Trutht me.
TP: You're lucky I don't have time for a proper proceeding, Captor.
SC: I wouldn't lie! Let'th jutht get out of here. Hey, are you okay?
TP:I'll survive. It'll take a lot more than some asshole with a knife to take me down. You're going to have to cauterize this for me, Captor.
KV: I GUESS HE HAD WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM THOUGH.
SC: I guethth...
KV: HEY SOLLUX.
SC: Yeah?
KV: I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE OK
SC: Thankth, you too. Okay, let me thee what I can do about your leg.

>Sollux: try not to burn off her other leg while you do that.
>Terezi: try not to cry while he does that.
>Karkat: watch out for mr eyeless while they do that.

AUGH I keep forgetting to thank you >>1468

I kept meaning to do it on an update but I get too caught up. I really, really appreciate everything you said there. This is the first time I've done something quite on this scale. I'm almost to 100 images since wednesday, and I've got more than 40 ridiculous hours of marathoning in it. So I am glad that people generally think I am doing a good job or are enjoying themselves, at least.

>Sollux: Ask them how to do this procedure and hope you can do it right

None of you actually know what the fuck you are doing but you're going to try it anyway. You feel like you have a bit better grasp on your blood magic. Don't fuck up.

>Sollux: Don't fuck up.

Okay, I'm a little confused when this takes place now. Terezi must be blind because she has smell-o-vision, but Vriska has her eye and arm. That would mean it takes place after Vriska is dream resurrected, but Eridan didn't know Sollux when he was first called which means it would have to be before they met. So...?

The smoke smells and tastes absolutely disgusting. You manage to prevent vomitting somehow.

You are not on fire. It seems he performed the cauterization with some degree of success.

>>1515
I've learned to take it how it is. Either way, its a good adventure that creeps you out, as well as entertain ya.
most of the other ones are for shits and giggles anyway.

>Karkat: Don't look, this can get ugly.

>>1515
There must be a perfectly logical reason. I WONDER IF WE'LL FIND OUT?

yes but you have to figure out why.

>>1517
crap, just ignore that action.

Oh ho! Weird time shit, is it?

>Sollux: Gather up Eridan and head to the basement with Karkat and Terezi. Call Feferi and get directions on the way. Do not mention Eridan to Feferi, lest she begin crying again.

>Terezi: Stop bleeding and don't be on fire. Be on the smellout for anyone sneaking up on you as you make your way to the basement with the boys.

Oh wait!

>Karkat: Remember Tavros is fucking dying. You've got to save him before you head to do any weird puzzle shit that can wait. With Sollux you actually have the firepower to fight no-eyes guy. Probably.

>>1517
Are you kidding me? This is ENTIRELY for shits and giggles. Anyway guys I have class through saturday tomorrow but I will do my very best to FINISH THIS THING. You can expect me online from midnight-6AMEST every day if I don't pass out. I'll be here two more hours. Also I just opened an AIM chatroom if anyone wants to come chat. PLEASE DO It's so lonely on the East Coast no one is goddamn awake. Join: bellyofthebeast

>Terezi: Go into shock.

>Better get your rears to Feferi, like, now if you want any chance of Eridan surviving.

>Someone, anyone: Be in the vicinity of Gamzee and Tavros to maybe be able to help them if it's not too late.

>>1527
Oh i get that, i just meant in like, a less random way...
I guess i'm the only one who gets a serious air about this one. Like, no one is requesting weird stuff. I dunno, i'mma shut up.

>Eridan: groan to make yourself known again

>>1527
I searched bellyofthebeast in the aim chatroom thing and got no results.

>>1534
Nah I'm just teasing. HEY CAN I get a poll of people to say if they want updates better drawn or quicker? Since none of you joined my chat (sob) I have to ask here. I know it looks sad and desperate because it is. I have talked to very few people in the last five days because of this hurp.

>>1537
Oh fucking dicks. Ok I'm apparently just retarded. Disregard me.

>>1538
Aw, you're mean. As for the poll, I'd like to say better drawn. I like how it is now, but fuck, if you're gonna be up the hours i should be in bed, updating like crazy, i might shoot myself. Also, it said you were offline. BTW i don't know how to work aim, so. yeah. Jeez you, i look stupid talking like this.

>>1538
Sorry I have to go to bed RIGHTNOW (or really, I should have two hours ago), or I totally would have tried to get on the chat.

As for quick or quality... I don't know. I'd probably lean quality. Too tired to think. Sleeps now.

I'm on the east coast and have been staying up in part for this adventure this and last night! I would join you in the chat but I'm off to bed now cause I have to wake up in three hours, heh.

Oh, and I vote quality. Your update rate is insane anyway!

YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY to Tavros. You're gonna call him, of course, but you thought you'd start off towards him anyway. You left Eridan's corpse at the house so it wouldn't slow you down.

Karkat has been reunited with his shirt. It is however unpleasant smelling and kinda crusted. He swears it's better than no shirt. Weird puzzle shit will have to wait.

>Bro and Davesprite dead in mspa
>Eridan dead in Belly of the Beast

I'll be in the horn pile

>Be Equius. Assess situation.

I'm actually gonna vote quantity over quality drawings, only because it's a time sensitive adventure.

You are now EQUIUS. You are in a room with no doors and no windows. You don't know how you got there. Someone dug out your eye. You have spent the last few hours trying to punch the walls down but they are somehow too thick. Nepeta got in somehow. Neither of you can figure out exactly how. You are both trying to pretend you're not Waiting For The End.

>>1550
The only reason I was going to have this be time sensitive was to see how much I could do in four days because I'm pretty busy. But I have been having a ridiculous amount of fun doing this. I could drag this shit out a lot longer since I won't be updating like a maniac. And if I'm not just dead in January we can finish this <3

>Equius: If you haven't already, try to STRONG JUMP out the ceiling or STRONG STOMP out the floor. Otherwise it looks like you've made a bit of progress on that far wall. Try digging out chunk by chunk instead of trying to punch through all at once. Use your horn if necessary.

>Nepeta: Check your phone.

>Equius: Contemplate how Sollux got your phone.

>Equius:Think about what happened to your eye

>Rocks fall, everyone dies.

>>1568
Hey, none of that now!

>Examine room.

Everyone: Hold massive conference call with every person you can reach.

>>1568
Don't tempt me.

How reliant on user commands is this adventure? By which I guess I mean, how much do you already know about why this is happening/what will happen/what happened previously?

There are three possible endings according to user input- as in- user input is EXTREMELY important. Who you're playing as, what they're doing, who is killing everyone and why- some really important details.

I'm going to be nice today and just tell you that I leave a lot of clues. I know what happened, why its happening, and what will happen. You are essentially playing a game that I have already constructed. There are certain TYPES of actions that determine the ending for each character. There is a good/bad ending for most of all the characters.

That being said, there are commands that are similar enough to commands that I was hoping for that they will set other things into motion. This adventure is not as popular at the mspaforums, but you can see they were heading in a different direction already than yours.

Aside from all of that, I am an asshole.

Hey, what's that rumbling?

AND FUCK. I REACHED MY BUMP LIMIT. I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY DONE THIS BEFORE FFFFFF what now hahah
