Its been 5 days. That's less of a gap than last time.

I figure he'll be doing it on the weekends.

He did one last week. Also, next one is in like 7 hours.

thread will be up later on tonight, like in about 8 hours or something

>>3426054

Chill out fag! there's gonna be a new thread in like 9 hours.

>>3426062

Nah, Weaver said the next thread is going to be in like 10 hours.

I heard 11 hours.

>>3426091

I thought it was 12

Who else <3's Red?

Well I heard that he discontinued it.

>>3426103
I WUV RED

>>3426105
I heard that Weaver was from Soviet Russia, and that Rubyquest discontinued him!

Give it about 13 hours or so.

Well I herd Weaver lieks mudkips

*awesomeface*

Just remember, everyone, to suggest that Ruby break down into tears and run away.

It'll be a barrel of laughs!

>>3426131
>Tom sees through your crocodile tears. He caves your head in with the BLUDGEONY CANESHUVEL

>Game over. Play again (y/n?)

Appropriate response would be to utilize a bit of logic and go "Uh, hey, wait a minute. That was dated November 8th...didn't Red kill me on the 29th of the month before that? So...if I'm dead...then who the hell is that?"

Ace - MUSCULAR
Tom - MANLY PHYSIQUE
Ruby - GIRLISH FIGURE
Red - SVELTE (HE'S FUCKING THINNER THAN RUBY, DAMN HE CAN DIET)

>>3426143
>play again? y/n

Then we start back over in the box?

>>3426131
Gotta say this: First instruction needs to be
>>Transform into multitentacled abberation and murder mercilessly.
Just to test some theories.

>>3426143

Who says they're crocodile tears? It's a perfectly reasonable reaction to seeing yourself violently attempt to murder the only person you can currently trust and rely on, and if not that, then to them suddenly becoming paranoid about you.

Personally, if I saw someone kill me on video, and then they turned around and tried to explain it away, my instinct would be to get more suspicious, even if the explanation were feasible.

Yo /tg/, I heard ya'll wanted Tom to hug, so we put some mo' arms on Tom so he can hug while he hugs.

>>3426182
><TG_Weaver> YOU KNOW WHAT'S EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS THAN NO EMOTION?
><TG_Weaver> FALSE EMOTION

From IRC yesterday. Besides, the general consensus is that we're subconscious suggestions in Ruby's mind, not actual neurons firing in her synapses. We can't force her to do anything, only suggest it - how do you 'suggest' having a mental breakdown?

>>3426212
We have ruby calmly explain that she doesn't remember committing the act, and that she was supposed to be dead during the attack.

failing that, she begs him to not leave her alone in this god-forsaken hole.

>>3426212

All you suggest is allowing all the stress that's built up to come out. She doesn't have to try to have a break down: she just has to stop NOT having a break down.

Leaving tom aside a moment, the catharsis would probably make her feel better.

>>3426158
Then we go down the hatch and we find a room divided by a black hole in the middle.


MINDFUCK!
THAT'S HOW RUBY ROLLS, BITCHES.

Next thread, Tom screams "GET OUT" at the top of his lungs at Ruby before he lunges at her with the cane shovel. Bet on it.

>>3426458
GET OUT RUBY I'M PISS

No, Tom. You don't understand. I'm happy. I can't let you go. We've begun something lovely, and, as with all things that start, it inevitably ends. The beginning is always so fine, but decay soon follows. The rot sets in. This way, there was only the beauty of the start.

Now, stand still, Tom, before you ruin the moment..

>>3426096
13 anyone? anyone bid 14?

>>3426577

I BID 26!

I think I'm with Tom on this one; KILL THE RABBIT

We need to find out the current date in the next thread. Also we need to find out what happened after Ruby blacked out with the arsenic antidote and the hook.

...I have a bad feeling we already saw one thing that happened during then.

Woo I'm posting in a Ruby thread.

THAT'S why she wouldn't take off her clothes!

>>3426143
>didn't Red kill me on the 29th of the month before that? So...if I'm dead...then who the hell is that?"
The problem with this is that it then invites this line of thought:
"Wait. If I'm dead... who the hell am I?"

Our first move should be to hug Tom.
That worked out pretty well in the video.

>>3427278
Right, a better line of reasoning would be, "If I killed you, then why are you alive? People die if they are killed!"

I think Ruby shouldn't be the submissive one here. She's nearly as frightened and confused as Tom is, seeing herself murder her only friend in this place.

Instead of being submissive and apologising, she should scream at him, tell him that she doesn't remember anything more than he does, ask him if he really believes that recording, showing her do stuff she wouldn't even think about, didn't hurt her as much as it hurt him - and then break down in tears, throw the scalpel at him (in a harmless and nonhostile way), move aside, and demand that he fucks off and leaves her alone.

Besides, bad guys in these situations always laugh and go "that's ridiculous" or "you really don't believe that, don't you?". If Ruby doesn't pull that off, Tom will know she's logically a good guy.

Also I very much doubt that Tom's willing to just club her to death.

>>3427360
You know, I'm getting sick of seeing that.
He's not being a retard, he's referring to an idiom.
You know when people say "What's up?"
They don't mean what has literally been raised from it's previous location.

>>3427519
I think Ruby shouldn't need eyes where she's going.

>I think Ruby shouldn't be the submissive one here.

>>3427519
>she should scream at him
Yeah, nothing defuses a hostile situation quite like hysterics.

>>3427555

Pretty much. Tom will scream right back, telling her what bugs him in the situation (and there are plenty). They'll scream at each other for a while, until all the emotional turmoil has been resolved. After that, they can look at this more rationally.

>>3427567
>They'll scream at each other for a while, until all the emotional turmoil has been resolved. After that, they can look at this more rationally.

>>3427360
>>3427522
He's referring to the fact that he recently lost his plot armor, and he must be cautious, for normally, people die if they are killed.

>>3427583

YES! FINALLY YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT! LET US YELL AT EACH OTHER UNTIL OUR THROATS GO SORE! LET THE ENTIRE BOARD BE SHAKING FROM OUR HORRIBLE MATCH OF SCREAMS!

>>3427599
Speaking of losing plot armor, I have the horrible feeling someone is going to die this session.

>>3425998

Look at the damn IRC channel. It tells you when the threads will be like three days in advance.

>>3427606

Tom is NOT going to just beat his friend to death, if that's what you mean, no matter what he might've seen on the video.

Geez, why do people think that he might?

Well horrible mutations aren't all bad.

FUUUUUCK, I just realized that that's exactly what I would do in a situation like that. I'm glad I'm not Ruby.

>>3427669
Creepy motherfuckers like you would be Red. I be you'd cackle screechingly.

I'd be Tom, because of my MANLY PHYSIQUE, or whatever it was. Beat that.

>>3427567
You're from Boston, aren't you?

Let's fucking face it, if you were anybody in this situation you'd all be the poor sap who died horribly the day things went to shit.

>>3427722

It's just most of /tg/ has absolutely no skills useful to this sort of situation, plus a pretty big minority lacking in the physical fitness needed to survive. There's probably a few who could do well, though.

I'd either die quickly if I got caught off gard, or gather together whoever's with me at the time, run to the nearest room, and fortify the fucker. I've got the training to fight and fortify, anyway. We'd probably get overwhelmed eventually, or I'd go insane sooner or later because realistically I don't know how resilient I am to the mindfuckery going on there but I don't think it'd be high.

>>3427771
Fortification is fine if you're holding out for rescue.

I don't think anyone is coming for them.

>>3427785

But we don't know that. We'd rather lock ourselves in and wait for someone else to take care of the problem - forever, if necessary.

>>3427785
So you're holed up because you never want them to catch you.

That can only end well.

>>3427793

I know I'm a damn sight better at holding out than shooting out, because that's just the way I've been trained. In a shitty situation best to play to your strengths, and my strengths happen to include using household materials to render buildings far more resilient to undead invasions.

I even wrote out a multi-mega-post of how to make yourself and your house survivable in even of a zombie outbreak specialised for Rage virus zombies on /a/ that they seemed to like.

>>3427840

Maybe, but I doubt Red knew how to use a trenching tool and a plastic tarp to increase his survivability in case of nuclear strike twelve times over in a completely exposed area.

I would be the one who the rest of the survivors would find trapped and screaming inside a shipping container full of Kool Aid. They wouldn't be able to open the container, and would leave me sobbing and alone, having to ride out the zombies/monsters/whatever in my delicious, sugary prison.

Getting back to Ruby Quest: Do you think bringing that goat head to one of those regeneration chambers would yield any results?

>>3427956
Then we get a crazy goat person.

>>3427840
I don't get how he managed to get two sticks in his head. After impaling himself the first time, it would be rather a difficult thing to do to impale himself again.

>>3427981
Yes. Let's do it.

>>3427983
Maybe the fucker is ambidextrous. You know those fuckers are just skilled in Ruby's universe.

>>3427956
I'm more interested in seeing if we can get Red back using his hand. We need a CRAFTY character to open up that one locked cabinet and Red seems to fit the bill. Plus, the jerk has some questions to answer (not that he'll likely be able to, memory loss and all).

>>3428041
>>3427981

Let's be safe and chuck both the goat head and Red's hand to the same chamber!

>>3428048
GOATFOX abomination

read the note!

>>3428048
That could only end badly. I mean, we might get some stiches-like abomination hybrid Red/goat.

Clearly, we must put them in separate chambers. Though I don't think the chambers are powered right now.

Y'know what? If it's the regeneration that keeps causing these mutations... Maybe #6 kept cutting himself, removing his eyes and limbs and even internal organs, because he figured that those mutations are POWER!

He'd be some kind of an übermutant by now.

>>3428041
Maybe the regeneration closets have already regenerated Tom and Ruby (memory loss) and changed their personalities (Ruby no longer hooks people's mouths while they're trying to read). Maybe Red will come out an almost total amnesiac who develops some sort of infatuation with Ruby. DUN DUN DUUUUNN

Or maybe Ruby hooking The Hound was actually her hooking Red while she was hallucinating.

>>3428048
Put F's hand in there as well!
And the GODAWFUL SMOOTHIE!

Get some of Stitches' blood, and fingernails from Tom and Ruby, and some of Ace's blood, and we have THE PERFECT ABOMINATION

BREAKING NEWS

BRINGING UP KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE OF A TOPIC UNDER DISCUSSION HAS BEEN OUTLAWED AFTER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RECENT INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT WISH TO GOD THEY COULD AND HATE ANYONE WHO CAN. FURTHER SUGGESTIONS INCLUDE NOT LETTING PEOPLE DO THINGS AT ALL WITH A POTENTIAL DELVE INTO NOT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DO THINGS TO MAKE DOING THINGS AT ALL IMPOSSIBLE.

>>3428056
>abomination
You close-minded fool. That's BIOENGINEERING.

Guys, this might be Red's head. We should check to see if the teeth are broken down to the nubs from his previously sharp ones, and if the head has holes in in. It probably isn't his, but it could be. If the regeneration closets are regeneration closets, having his head might help.

>>3428098
nonono, hesheit's given name is THE PERFECT ABOMINATION. Hesheit is a perfectly well adjusted, normal foxgoatcatharebirdbear???? of multiple genders.

Shit guys, did you notice what the arrow is pointing at yet? Red's Special Family.

>>3428092
>KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE OF A TOPIC UNDER DISCUSSION
That's just the thing. Your REPEATEDLY-MENTIONED "lulz i hav survival skills" shit has nothing to fucking do with this scenario whatsoever. And you keep bringing it up. "Oh so yeah I wrote this thing and /a/ seemed to like it pretty cool huh guys"

CASE IN POINT:
>I doubt Red knew how to use a trenching tool and a plastic tarp to increase his survivability in case of nuclear strike twelve times over in a completely exposed area.
HURP

>>3428099
piecing Red back together from body parts we find laying around of his? That's an interesting theory.

It's a shame the poem sort of prophesizes BAD END for everyone but Tom and Ruby. I'd like to see Ace and Red (or would've liked to see, in Red's case. He probably won't be back) make it out ok.

>>3428098

IT'S NOT A MONSTER UNLESS YOU CAN'T KILL IT.

>>3428099

We have his hand, we were gonna throw that into the coffin and see what comes out. I guess we can do the same with this head and revived whoever this poor guy is.

>>3428099
Not red. It has horns and ears.

>>3428127
Methinks you'll get something akin to this.

EXCEPT WITH THE PLANE OF TEETH. AWESOME

So, current plan of attack is
1. Drop scalpel
2. Convince Tom we don't wish to scalpel him
3. SCIENCE!

FUUUCK that picture is right where the eye picture was.

>>3428127
Am I the only one who thinks bringing Red back from his hand is a BAD idea? I mean, even ignoring the possibilities of shit going wrong, consider this:
If this is, indeed, a medical facility experimenting with some sort of regeneration technique that causes bad side effects, isn't it entirely possible Red killed himself in the method he did so that he wouldn't be brought back?

I think it's possible he blew himself up specifically so he would stay dead.

>>3428137
Drop Scale

Cry and claim its not you

Tell Tom you'll do anything to prove you are no harm to him, even if he must tie you up(or hands behind back)

>>3428141

One thing I've always been wondering about this pic: If there were seven patients, why's there only six here? Who's missing, and why?

>>3428150
Durrr by Scale I meant scalpel.

Protip: Don't trust auto corrects without rereading your sentence.

>>3428150
>even if he must tie you up

>>3428114
So Red's SSSSSSSSSSSSSSPECIAL FAMILY is:

-Tom
-Ruby
-The goat
-The hound

Interestingly, Stitches isn't there. We need to discover the other two.

>>3428160
:AWESOME:

>>3428144
Yeah, but we don't really know if the regeneration theory is true or not. This would be a good test. Come to think of it, mutated subjects like Ruby would be good to test it to see if they mutate further, or something like that.

Anyway, everyone loves Red, so we'll drag him back to life screaming and sobbing as many times as we need to win.

>>3428156
Maybe it's not a comprehensive shot by any means. Maybe it's just an unplanned group shot.

>even if he must tie you up(or hands behind back)

That's asking to be killed by whatever else shows up.

>>3428150
What about SCIENCE!? We need to revive/clone people! What happens if we don't make backup Rubys? Hell, we could just swarm the place with Ruby Clones and Tom Clones. Ace may be able to take on MANLY PHYSIQUE, but can he take on twenty MANLY PHYSIQUES?

Tom Clones

Clones of everyone to be exact.

>>3428175
Only if Tom was Gordon Freedom, we could have some MANLY PHYSICS

>>3428174
Thats why you have tom protect you

>>3428174
Actually that's more like asking to be raped by ev-

well, by Tom at least.

>>3428161
It sort of looks, from left to right, like

- Tom
- Ruby
- That Hound/Goat Thing
- Stitches
- Something
- Red
- The Sun

>>3428176
Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.
We had it all wrong. We had it wrong the entire time!

Everyoone isn't a clone of Tom. Tom is a clone of everyone at the same time. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. THE PHYSICS ROOM, THE EYES, THE FETUS, THE WATER COOLER.

EVERYTHING.

I CAN SEE IT ALL.

>>3428189
>>3428189
Just as planned.

>>3428175
Let's see them fight ALL of us!

>>3428189
You have changed my mind. I now fully support this idea.

Fans of RubyQuest Priorities:

1. Get Tom Laid
2. Resolve Cliffhanger Conflict
3. Get Tom Laid
4. Solve Mystery
5. Escape

>>3428114
Red looks like a nice guy in that picture. Maybe he had he personality altered by something, and Ruby could teach a regenerated clone of him to love.

Or maybe he really WAS just joking all those times.

>>3428214
You forgot resurrecting Red, curing Stitches, and Getting Tom Laid.

>>3428216
Red seemed like a pretty decent guy from his notes.

Near as I can figure, things fucked up, he realized it, and he tried to stop it.
...by killing Ruby.

Hey, just because we don't understand it doesn't mean it didn't make sense at the time.

>>3428214
1. READ THE NOTE
2. HUG TOM
3. SCIENCE!
4. Explain the unexplainable, solve the unsolvable, ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH
5. Superhugs

>>3428226
Now that I noticed...

Fact: If we resurrect Red, he will wake up with some small deformity and no memories. Wackiness will ensue as he panics and freaks the fuck out when he starts reading the files he can access by virtue of his handprints. Shenanigans happen. TOM DIES

>>3428251
A place of man and men's design.
A place where God's light would not shine.

>>3428251
Actually, I think "WHO WROTE THIS?" is more telling. It points to Red having died/lost his memory once before.

>>3428251
Yeah, but some of that also says "NO ESCAPE BRING YOUR OWN TUX"

Also, "WE ARE ALREADY DEAD" is probably relevant. Maybe this is the afterlife.

Maybe this is all Ruby's stream of consciousness as she dies of blood loss, and Red is the part of her mind that's trying to tell her what's going on.

Remember, Ace tried to save her, according to her file.

>>3428285

>Also, "WE ARE ALREADY DEAD" is probably relevant. Maybe this is the afterlife.

Well they've all been killed at least once by now.

>Maybe this is all Ruby's stream of consciousness as she dies of blood loss, and Red is the part of her mind that's trying to tell her what's going on.

Shit, I hope not. That'd be seriously depressing, and this story really needs to end on a happy note.

>>3428251
I prefer the What goes in here pointing to ruby's ass

>>3428321
OH HO

ARCHIVIINNNNNG

>>3428321

I think we need to archive every single thread that mentions Ruby Quest, so that the future generations will be able to see our faggotry in all its glory. Eh?

>>3428336
Eh, my brother.

>>3428373

>>3428373

That's not really working since she didn't bash him with a hammer or anything.

>>3428364
Ya hoser.

>>3428381
>>3428373

Also in both of these, I think the complete lack of expression on Ruby while she's doing these things is extremely relevant.

>>3428336
Nah, they'll be busy making their own brand of faggotry.

>>3428385
Well, she mangled his mouth with a longshoreman's hook. That might take arm strength.

>>3428392
Eh?

>>3428307
>Well they've all been killed at least once by now.
We don't know that at all. Red's dead, nobody else is confirmed dead.
Even Stitches might never have died. I mean, you might think decapitation would be fatal, but then again so would BEING A HEAD ON A SPINAL CORD WITH NO ORGANS, and that seemed to be working out fine for him.

>>3428438

My point exactly. Stitches has definitely died, Ruby and Tom almost certainly, yet they're all still active. The regeneration coffins are powerful enough to revive the dead.

This....is....hell...and....we're all DEAD.

>>3428450
>Stitches has definitely died, Ruby and Tom almost certainly, yet they're all still active.
...did you read my post at all? That's the opposite of what I'm saying.

>>3428482
AUGH OH FUCK

>>3428482
That explains why 4chan's in the shitter.

>>3428487

Oh yes, I did. And contrary to you, I believe that they've all been, at least clinically, dead at some point. Stitches was decapitated probably, and trying to revive him turned him into a monster. Ruby and Tom had a lot more mass left in their bodies, and so their mutations weren't as severe.

Ruby was killed by a cut to the head. In the same spot, there's now an eye. COINCIDENCE? If she killed Tom by cutting open his stomach or something, it's definitely not a coincidence.

Which probably means that we shouldn't try to resurrect anyone from their hand or head.

>>3428482
Well, YOU'RE dead. I just respawned in Africa.

>>3428516
>Ruby was killed by a cut to the head. In the same spot, there's now an eye.
She was cracked over the top and back of her head. Read the accident report again.

>>3428532

My faith in humanity is raised alot by someone catching my reference.

If those lockers are indeed regeneration chambers, perhaps Stitches was in mid-regeneration when Ruby messed with the computer panel and opened them all. That would explain the HOLYSHITBLOODYORGANS.

Finally took the time to read through all this. Weaver, congratulations for having successfully realized something this awesome.

Things that haven't been stated yet which seem clear to me:

Ruby died and was resurrected as Ace was taking her body to the holding cell.

Stitches seems to have been killed by trapping him in the closet and pouring acid in through the eyehole.

There are at least two stages to the resurrection, and memories aren't retained between them. (Notes from Red and Tom in their own handwriting, killer Ruby, non-killer Stitches).

. . .On second thought, "stages" might not be the right view. Red was surprised by a note seemingly written in *response* to a comment he remembered writing- lapses in long-term memory encoding? Did Red know what was going on, or was his memory gone like everyone else, driven to denial after waking up to a room full of insane scribblings in his own hand?

The big mystery here is why Red initially attacked Ruby- or maybe vice versa, since I think we only see the left side of his face in that video. It simplifies things if Ruby was a homicidal maniac who attacked both Red and Tom while she was alive.
