try to tap the pipes with the crowbar. something living might be in there.

You're gonna hate me for this, but try breaking open the pipe and seeing what it is.

UNCLEAN! PURGE THEM WITH FIRE!

>>3283435
Looks like the kids just woke up.

try batting the iron box with the crowbar, see what happens?

>>3283434
>try breaking open the pipe and seeing what it is.
The pipes here are all shielded with thick metal plates.
Tom wisely moves to the back room, where the pipe is exposed.

Tom lets fly with the crowbar and assaults the old pipe!

>>3283448
Oh god this is going to be bad.

did we press button 2 to open the z-hatch at all?

>>3283448
Agh I cant believe we didn't think of this earlier when Tom was in a rage.

>>3283448
RUN AWAY TOM! RUN AWAY!

>>3283452
You mean the one that's fucking broken? No. I don't think we did.

>>3283448

BRACE FOR RAPE

>>3283454
For the last time, RED BROKE BUTTON NUMBER 2

>>3283452
Pay attention.

Weaver, have Tom stand back and cautiously await for a few seconds.

For better or for worse, the pipe is smashed wide open.

Just in time... the rumbling sound is coming this way again.

PREPARE TO USE COUCH AS EMERGENCY FLOATATION DEVICE, IF YOU WIND UP ON MIDAS RIVER JUMP ON BARRELS AND GRAB AS MANY COINS AS YOU CAN.

A perfect glass sphere comes tumbling down the shaft and lands softly, unharmed, on the soft yet utilitarian couch.

>>3283467
have Tom prepare the crowbar as a weapon.

>>3283467
don't stand under it Tom, it could kill you!

>>3283467
Prepare to hit anything that comes out with the crowbar.

>>3283475
Take the sphere.

>>3283475
Use it on the safe.

>>3283475
Sphere into socket

>>3283475
Poke the glass sphere with the crowbar, if it doesn't result in death or other unpleasantness, take it.

>>3283475
Pick up glass sphere and observe it. Anything interesting?

>>3283479
>>3283480
>>3283483
>>3283484
>>3283485
>>3283486
>>3283487
Tom doesn't know quite what you're trying to say. Do you want him to UNLOCK THE SAFE WITH THE GLASS SPHERE?

Well gee, why didn't you just come out and say that?

Tom unlocks the safe using the GLASS SPHERE and the SAFE LOCK SOCKET.

try to figure out how to get the Z-hatch open.

>>3283492
Open safe cautiously, crowbar at the ready.

Inside the safe, Tom finds... some sort of peculiar wooden disc.

>>3283492
Open the safe, take anything within of interest, but be careful because it might be full of snakes or something.

take the now less than untilitarian couch and place it in your inventory, or at least move it out from in front of that hole its in front of.

>>3283501
put it in bank/teller hatch. Tell ruby to use it on the clock. If red shows up ignore him and put it in clock

>>3283501
Go back into the tech room, put the disc into the mail slot and send it to Ruby.

Get disk from Tom. Use disk on clock-shaped symbols on wall in Ruby's room.

>>3283501
Take disk, pass it to ruby.

>>3283515
>>3283513
Those weren't neccesary. Refresh before you submit

Take disc, eat it.

>>3283501
Red's going to show up soon, isn't he?

>>3283510
>Go back into the tech room, put the disc into the mail slot and send it to Ruby.
Tom passes the strange disc to Ruby, who looks a bit startled to see it.

>>3283528
DONT TAKE ANY WOODEN NICKLES

>>3283509
>>3283515
>>3283510
>>3283513

this.

please press refresh just before you submit; then you can see if something you are saying has already been suggested.

Does the markings on the disc match up to anything on the wall?

>>3283534
For fuck's sake.

DISC IN THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCULAR DIAGRAM!

Ruby sets the wooden disc onto the peg in the clock-like device.
It fits perfectly.

To which symbol should Ruby point the disc?

People if something has already been suggested don't repeat it. Don't fill the thread with useless posts while waiting. It takes time for weaver to make each frame. Just get something to eat or mash F5 like the rest of us.

top one

>>3283552
The hook. It will open the z-hatch

Top Symbol

>>3283552
Point it.... down.

>>3283559
>top one
Ruby points the dial disc to the top symbol. The sound of sliding metal comes from nearby.

>>3283579
Crawl through z-hatch. Hug Tom

>>3283584
No, CHECK Z-hatch first. check every assessable room for any changes.

could someone quickly recap what icons have been seen where? and if the Z hatch is okay, lets drag the cable down and plug it in

Just as Ruby had hoped, the symbol must have opened the Z-Hatch!
TOM enters the room, looking pleased to see Ruby.
He carries the EXTENDABLE POWER CORD Ruby forgot in the other room.

>>3283595
Top one at z hatch. 3 at tom's room. and the 6 thingy on the right at the tunnel thing on the top flooor

>>3283579

That wooden disk looks like a cyclopean awesome face with a party hat.

>>3283601
Hug Tom.

>>3283601
Hug tom then plug cord into socket in pneumatic room

Turn knob to the bottom symbol. Do we see anything through the window happen?

>>3283601
ask Tom if he can understand the weird writing.

Guys, we're going to have to plug the cord in, and also turn the wooden disk. It might close the z-hatch again.

Spin disk off of the z hatch symbol to test this.

>>3283608
>Hug Tom.
Ruby hugs Tom.

Tom goes a step further.

>>3283622
OHO

>>3283622
oh shi-

>>3283622
:3 Kiss him back. He's earned it

We don't yet know if turning the dial away from the top symbol will close the z-hatch. If it does as the cable's running through it it will be snapped and we will be screwed.

Get Tom to go back to the room he just came from (if he doesn't mind), and turn it to the "3" looking symbol, and see what happens there first.

>>3283622
HOORAY!

>>3283607

A Cyclopean Buckley face.

>>3283622
Kiss back!

>>3283622
...Ruby returns to the clock.

She turns the dial away from the top symbol, and she can hear the Z-Hatch slam down again.

>>3283643
Okay, NOW kiss back.

>>3283643
rejection? D:
flick the dial to the right

>>3283643
Try turning it on the top setting and pulling it off and placing it on another setting

>>3283643
Alright, explain to Tom that you're just a shy bunny and when you both get out of this, then you'll have time for that and more.

But for now, ask him to go back into the room with the vacuum tube. When he does, turn it to the 6 spot.

Ruby turns the dial to the bottom symbol. A faint sound of sliding metal can be heard through the plexiglass.

>>3283656
Oh god. Look at Tom. Comfort him!

>>3283656
Go and investigate with Tom

>>3283649
Nah make sure Red can't get in

Turn dial to the top. Go to the other side, leave Tom behind. Ask Tom to turn the dial to the bottom again.

>>3283656
>It was at this point that Ruby realised that Tom is the one, and she threw herself at him, kissing passionately

>>3283643
>>3283656
WHY THE SAD FACES?!

>>3283666
>>It was at this point that Ruby realised that Tom is the one, and she threw herself at him, kissing passionately
>666
Nice try, SATAN.

>>3283664
>Turn dial to the top. Go to the other side, leave Tom behind. Ask Tom to turn the dial to the bottom again.
Ruby uses the dial to open the Z-Hatch and heads towards the room on the other side of the glass.

>>3283674

He's suffering from a broken cat heart you fucking CALOUS BASTARD.

Perhaps we should give them a bit of "private time"?

>>3283676
OH GOD LOOK AT HIM

YOU'VE TORN OUT HIS HEAAAAART

>>3283676
inb4Tom dies ;(

>>3283676
As Ruby leaves have her tell Tom that she loves him! Do it!

>>3283676
Weaver, did I mention I love you?

Also, just give Tom a hug and an explanation as to why Ruby can not be thinking of such things in this place. It will cheer him up, and allow him to function better in the enviroment.

Tear a strip from Ruby's skirt, she can stand losing an inch or so. Bandage that eye already.

>>3283684
Her scar has returned mysteriously.

>>3283679
Along with his eye.

>Nice try, SATAN

Damnit Weaver, you've ruined New Years Day!

>>3283695
I think Tom has gotten far too much of the wrong idea already without clothing rippage getting involved.

>>3283701
Noooooooo! also her scar looks like :/ but its also going to burst open

>>3283701
She looks like she's not feeling too good. Maybe she should call for Tom, and sit down. That plain couch looks pretty good right about now.

>>3283701
Call out to Tom, desperately, say that you're about to feint.

>>3283710
>about to feint

O shi... Red Eye! Better photoshop that!

>>3283715
THE EYE OH GOD

>>3283715
>The eye
Oh this can't be good.

woa red light.. red light!

Throw the eye away! It's cursed!

Call Tom, right now.

(Also, for the eye zombie... That's the same eye as tom... and it looked an awfully lot like tom... Do you think it was Tom.... from the future?)

>>3283715
Go back Ruby! Go back!

>>3283715
PREY PREY FOR NO ETERNAL SLEEP

Ruby's head
is killing her.

Tom is a zombie?!

Oh Shi-

>>3283733
COULD RUBY BE THE ZOMBIE???

inb4 cliffhanger

>>3283733
>>3283738
No Red, you are the demons.

>>3283731
Shout for Tom.

>>3283738
No, I think I understand it now. Eternal sleep. this is a sleep lab. and Ruby is a nonestop dream.

>>3283739
second that!

Hurry and kiss Tom goodbye before its too late!

>>3283745
Mind blown! FFFFFFFF

>>3283750
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

>>3283750
Oh no...

>>3283750
Oh shit.

>>3283750
in during Satori

THIS ISN'T REAL, RUBY

WAKE UP

AGAIN

>>3283745
So Tom kissed her because she wanted that? And the zombies attacked because she's a psycho?

Makes sense... On /b/ perhaps.

>>3283750

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUU

>>3283761
good things can happen in a nightmare.

>>3283750

DON'T GO INSANE!

>>3283776
SHIT JUST GOT TRIPLE LOVECRAFTIAN

HOLY SHIT

>>3283776
Get out of the room, the eye on the wall is doing something

scalple needs to go in eye T_T

>>3283776
Well, sweet mother of fuck...

Ruby wipes the blood off her forehead.

>>3283791

Stab self in forehead with scalpel.

>>3283776
Punch the eye.

>>3283791
WAIT SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

point at tom, point at the dial, twirl finger around in a circle, go back to eye when he has done that and RAM THE SCALPLE IN

>>3283791
Knock on plexiglass if tom is dead I swear to god Weaver POW ZOOM STRAIGHT TO THE MOON

Tom, please turn the dial to the bottom symbol.

Tom didn't see.

>>3283808

GOUGE THE FUCKER OUT.

>>3283791
Can Ruby "feel" the eye like the rest of the body or is it "alien-like"?
Is it just a simple eye or seeing things "different"?
Can Ruby think straight right now or she in shock/pain/other?

put the top of ruby's head in the blender so we get the eye!

say.. do we still have that eye in our inventory?

>>3283808
Experiment. Close your normal eyes and try to 'open' the third one.. do things look different?

>>3283812
>Knock on the glass, press your hand against the glass, show that you are not well.
no

tom
can't know

>>3283808
Knock on the glass and shout out to him.

>>3283826
late late is late

>>3283824
Peek in on Tom. It seems kind of strange that he didn't look when you crawled into the room.. it was sure to have made some kind of noise.

>>3283824
At least try to communicate with Tom, check if he's okay.

Ruby gets Tom's attention, then gets him to switch the dial to the bottom long enough for her to open the small slot in the wall and retrieve the fourth PAPER SCRAP. She signals Tom, and he switches it back again, opening the Z-Hatch.

Weaver, can you include an estimated time to end of today's game in your next post please?

Also can we see what the slot in the wall, with the icon, is now?

Tom isn't in the room anyway. It's just the doll thing, right?

Wait... Tom is gone?!

Woot! plug in the thing from upstairs! we have all four parts of TEH CODE

>>3283834
Paper with 6 is acutally a nine, meant for the upper-right.

>>3283846
Yeah well done on noticing that, I was like "shit, is there two sets of four or something?"

Ruby returns to the Dummy room.
Tom begins to apologize for his earlier rash action. Ruby quickly dismisses it.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.

Ask tom to return dial to north symbol.
Get out.
Have Tom plug in keypad.

>>3283862
Ask Tom what happened to his eye.

>>3283862
Ask him to crowbar that crate open

>>3283872
I've been thinking that too. Ever since the disc thingie was used.

[artistic error in the previous panel, Tom didn't magically regrow his eye, I'm just tired and hurrying]

>>3283865
Ruby re-opens the Z-Hatch. Tom returns through it to the other side and plugs in the EXTENDABLE POWER CORD from the digital lock upstairs.

>>3283888
Plug 7935 into the fish control panel in Ruby's starting room.

what's the url for sup/tg/ archive again?

>>3283902

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ruby

>>3283888
Go get Tom and go to the code entry device.

>>3283902
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ruby

Ruby and Tom return to the top level and enter the code into the powered-up terminal.

This is IT!

We never found out where the water sounds came from when the button was pressed earlier.

...not quite as planned.

>>3283925
Unplug the chord, turn dial towards that symbol.

>>3283921

Problem.

>>3283925

Solved!

>>3283925
Go press the water button again. you know. by the ladder.

>>3283929
>>3283930
Looks like SOMEONE didn't read the first threads!

Get Tom to turn the dial so we can see how the porthole turns into a tunnel.

>>3283925
Say to Tom he should stay there, remove the extendible powercord. Go back to the dummy room and turn the clock thing to the left symbol.

or how the complex turns into a electrified aquarium

Tom and Ruby make a boring excursion back downstairs, through the Z-Hatch, unplug the cord, pull it back to the proper side, change the dial to the symbol in the water, then climb back upstairs.
But it's very boring so let's just skip all that and get to the good part. It's what Ruby would want. She doesn't mess around.

>>3283925
touch it

>>3283941
Prepare to swing crowbar.
Walk into the doorway.

>>3283941
shove Tom through it

Or throw something else in it

>>3283941
Enter together and be prepared to face red, mentally and physically.

I do believe the "walk into the darkness" has occured before... Remember how that went?

>>3283964

Nothing bad happened. Walk into the darkness.

>>3283946
Tom and Ruby prepare themselves...
but there's no one on the other side.

The monitor system appears to have been destroyed.

>>3283974
Nothing to do now but USE CROSS PEG ON CROSS-SHAPED SLOT.

>>3283974
Crowbar to the locked door?

>>3283974
Examine room

>>3283984
Ruby finally inserts the CROSS PEG into the cross-shaped recess in the wall.

>>3283974
Crosspeg on slot and break the air duct tube thing

Some of those monitors have static, which means its still working on some level: poke at the interface.

>>3283991

is the door to Tom's cell open?

The panel on the wall transforms before Ruby's eyes, folding open and revealing a small ladder of broad pegs, leading up to a newly-opened hatch in the ceiling.

Go up.

>>3284002
See if you can go up, ask Tom to follow.

>>3284002
Onward to this new frontier

... Ask Tom if he found a hand in that room he was trapped in.

>>3284002

Inspect the room where Tom was held in Goddamn

>>3284002

Did we have top open the DO NOT OPEN box yet with his MANLY CROWBAR of MANLYNESS?

>>3284039

This~
