Attempt to talk to it

Inspect

Cautiously approach. 'Is everything all right?'

>>3431265
Greet it, if unresponsive, leave.

Ask tom if he can see it? Irrespectively though, try to talk to it

>>3431265
Why are you crying?

>>3431270
>Attempt to talk to it
Ruby's attempts at conversation go unheeded.
The figure does not respond.

Have TOM talk to it. If it attacks he has a better chance of surviving.

Kill for EXP

Tom: Smash fist directly into the back of the figure's head.

Approach very cautiously, and shake him. Turn his face towards you.

>>3431283
Wait, ask Tom if he sees anyone in the corner sobbing.

Look the figure with the THIRD EYE

I bet its deaf.
(almost)

>>3431282
>Why are you crying?
"It's dark."

Ask Tom if HE SEES THE DAMN FIGURE AT ALL

Check briefly with Shadow-vision

It's RED!

>>3431299
Disagree with him, tell him there is a light on, reassure him that he must be just seeing things, or imagining it (try to sound as non-condescending as possible)

Yall niggas postin in a shit thread

Maybe its a manifestion of Ruby and Stitches blindness?

>>3431299
Do we have a torch or a light source? If so shine it on the shadowy figure.

The only nigga in here is crying his eyes out D:

>>3431307

I disagree. I think it's the bird we seen in the photo.

Alllll aboard the linear railroad! Next stop, Clicheville.

>>3431316
That is a very very very bad idea.

>>3431323
Aw it's Mister Troll! How've you been? Still trying the same old stuff, eh? Maybe it'll work some day.

attempt to suck its cock

Continued in /co/...

Pull figure back, leading up to a generic horror scene where the person's face is completely torn off or something of the likes.

>>3431338

That's a good game, by the way.

Clean all the oil off of the figure.

Ask the shadowy figure if it's written any terrible plotlines recently

>>3431343
Fuck you

what with all the trolls

I've been away from /tg/ for awhile

Does this place hate RQ now ?

Ask shadowy figure how long it has been dark.

You could run a lemonade stand less linearly than this one frame every ten years movie.

ask him his name

>>3431370

Nope just one guy with a lot of butthurt.

>>3431370
It's just the same guy being butthurt. Ignore it.

>>3431356
this isn't /b/, your not contributing anything traditional games related. A chose your own adventure is a traditional game thus is appropriate here. Just knock it off or make your own

>>3431370
The story took a huge downturn today is all, a lot of people are pretty let down. There was just rampant railroading and bullshit where ruby was teleporting around to make the next frame work.

>>3431379
>Ignore it.

Even better: Report it.

>>3431380
Choose your own adventure NOVELS are not a game.

...wait, Tom's supposed to be missing his RIGHT eye. Artistic slip, or major OH SHI- moment?

Tom's the cure to the infection.

The cliche infection

Prep third-eye mikuru beam.

Ruby should just laser beam everyone at first sight.

>>3431292
>>3431302
Ruby asks Tom for confirmation. He confirms that he sees the same figure.

It shudders in the corner, making a pained sound.

Request that Tom beat this figure to a bloody pulp.

>>3431299
weaver could you please clarify if that eyepatch is a mistake or is it intentionaly switched.

>>3431405
Since it's back to where it should be again, it's likely a slip up.

THIRD EYE the shadowy figure
HUG the shadowy figure
READ the shadowy figure

The figure turns suddenly, and the room is engulfed in blackness.

"IT'S SO DARK!"

>>3431405

I think we should ask Tom instead.

>>3431405
Three days ago when this was drawn it might have been the right eye.

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE

VOID BOWELS, LEAVE ROOM.

>>3431418
tell it to stop. If it continues hightail it out of there

>>3431418
Jesus christ, facepalm

oh.. I guess he went superblind instead of getting better.

>>3431418

It's the bird from the photograph his mutation seems to be less organic/necrotic and more preternatural.

Enough with the third eye, people, it hurts! don't abuse a good thing. use it when there's no other option of there is generally a belief that it can reveal something when nothing else can.
That said, I opt for Tom to nudge the figure. If it responds to external stimuli other than voice, try to comfort it.

>>3431432
>facepalm
What?

That's it for tonight folks. As always, thank you for bearing with me.

Sort of a short session today.

More to come.

>>3431405
>weaver could you please clarify if that eyepatch is a mistake or is it intentionaly switched.
Mistake. Horizontal mirroring, saved time, didn't work out so good I guess. Hurr.

>>3431418
Mutation or MAGIC? We haven't seen much magic despite the satanic stuff.

>>3431418
offer to help find a flashlight. don't be scared. fear leads to irrational decisions. it has not acted hostile yet.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I think we need to tell the bird to have a more positive attitude. But seriously, though, I get the impression that the bird's melancholy is causing the darkness rather than vice versa.

Well, at least this session didn't end in something awfully depressing.

Hopefully the short length of this and earlier sessions means that the next one will come faster.

It's not a fucking cliche. Something being done before is not a cliche, it has to be done to death. It's not a TWEEST as it's always been considered and heavily hinted, it's not a cliche and you are being goddamn stupid.

Great Thread, Weaver. Thanks for sticking it out for those of us who still adore Ruby and Tom. We just wanna see them together, whatever happens.

I won't spoil this for myself...

But Weaver.

I love you.

Make merchindise.

>>3431480
You know it's not a tweest or a cliche. Stop trolling.

Wait a second, what if the shadowy figure is number 6?

>>3431480
>There was some real, real M.Night shit going on tonight captain.
Despite the obvious troll, I'll bite:
What happened today logically fit in with a lot of what happened before, and this was in fact one of the stronger theories being passed around. Stitches's death had been hinted at as Ruby's fault already, Filbert was an established presence... I'm trying to figure out what's so Shyamalan-ish about any of this.
None of this is completely unfounded nor tastelessly absurd. So though there was dawning realization, it's hardly a WHAT A TWEEST moment. And if the idea of a universal cure with monstrously bad side effects has been done before, I haven't read that particular story.

>>3431497
Give me a break.

DAMMIT! Every night all this week after I missed the first one I've been staying up to six AM just to make sure no Ruby happens, and the one night I have to go to bed 'cuz of fucking work he posts.

I will be an influence on your decisions someday, tiny white rabbit! YOU AND I WILL SEE HOW FAR YOUR HOLE GOES.

Exactly the point. And now back to traditional games.

maybe we should just sit around and discuss chess all day long.

>>3431518
Well, I'll be the devil's advocate and mention that I Am Legend, started off with a cure for Cancer.

>>3431532
Traditional games don't have stories. We just fight every monster in the monster manual alphabetically. Nobody ever gets past the aboleth.

The weak point of the internet: No cure for jerks, idiots, trolls, and other people like that.

I mean, in the real life you could at least cure them by punching them in the face a couple of times.

>>3431542
>Enjoying a cliche and it not being a giant cliche are two definitely different things
We've known Ruby was infected since like the third session, assumed it since the hound zombie slashed her in session 2, and suspected it from the moment Stitches showed up in session 1.
This "you're infected" thing isn't exactly new.

Or are you just trying to say that being infected in a setting that focuses on infection is cliché?
Wouldn't it be MORE cliché if she was the only one who was somehow immune?
OR MAYBE THE FACT THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF DISEASE AT ALL IS CLICHE.

I believe it's time for the story to end.

It began as a good idea and a different experience from what /tg/ was having at the moment, but it's starting to get stale. The interaction part of this threads is getting lost by both the constant spamming and the railroading (as interesting or needed as it be).

Weaver gave us an interesting concept and a very good time, but it's time for it to end before it becomes a bag of crap.

>>3431552
/tg/ is /40k/. Not enough big guns, big armor and big, succulent hard minifig cocks.

>>3431553
Umbrella corporation did that shit in the new animated resident evil movie...

>>3431554
wow, your life must really be sad
I'm going to shed 2d4 tears for you

>>3431562
Shitty plagues are the newest hot ticket to shitville on the railroad.

>>3431548
Well let's have a see...
We've known that this place is a hospital for some time now. We known that Ruby and Tom were here to be cured. We've known it had worked. We've known that some patients can come back to life. We've known that all patients are abominations. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the cure probably has something to do with the mutating. It's not our fault if you are a bit slow.

>>3431566
Seems like we're getting close to the end already. Let's just ban that one obnoxious motherfucker and keep playing.

>>3431562
Ahem... Diseases have been done an awful lot lately.

>>3431527
>YOU AND I WILL SEE HOW FAR YOUR HOLE GOES.

>>3431582
Lets just ban that guy who keeps talking in the movie theater and keep playing our movie.

>>3431582
You can't ban all of Anonymous, silly britches. We're all obnoxious motherfuckers.

>>3431582
I'd say we're about halfway there, we still haven't gotten to the top levels

>>3431562

Psshh, duh. Disease is like, so overused. It's been around for millenia before the Pointy Stick!

>>3431587
Please cut out the HURFDURF LEEJUN shit.

>>3431587
so you admit it, your just here to troll. I really hope that Mootikins puts the banhammer down on you hard

>>3431549

It's not butthurt. Trolls are happy and carefree people, playing their amusing games with the cattle and loving every minute of it.

I'm not sure where Weaver's taking this, to be honest. It seems like a cross between the Resident Evil films and Silent Hill.

I will also admit that it's getting a little worse and worse each time. Like all things, /tg/ will eventually roll its eye at Rubyquest and would prefer to pretend it never existed while newfags will check the archives and try to be the new Weaver by trying to imitate his story-telling style - only to fail miserable and stop on the first thread.

>>3431581
No no, you're right. This is good shit. Sam and Max with Animal Crossing characters in the L4D setting.

>>3431594
No, actually, I'm a different guy than the one you referenced earlier. I was merely pointing out that if you cut down one obnoxious bitch, ten more will rise in his place. Thus is the nature of Anon. Lurk moar.

>>3431553
>Well, I'll be the devil's advocate and mention that I Am Legend, started off with a cure for Cancer.
True, but this cure still works. It's healing the crap out of them.

Personally I'd say that the traces of hell/eldergods/mindfuck help throw off any potential cliché from "science experiment gone wrong" which can roughly explain about 80% of horror plots.

"Cure gone wrong" may have been done before, but I gotta say I'm enjoying "cure that brings back horrible shit from the afterlife".

>>3431588
But do we wan't to get out of Metal Glen when we're infected? Exposing the rest of the planet is a BAD END.

>>3431604
And suddenly the obnoxious motherfucker was you.

>>3431604

Ten we shall ban them too.

>>3431604
this isn't /b/. And I don't beleve your falsehoods. Your probably from some stupid thread where someone got butthurt over weavers talent. Why else would you be posting /b/ memes in a /tg/ forum. Your like reavers in firefly to us.

>>3431602
>Sam and Max with Animal Crossing characters in the L4D setting.
That doesn't sound cliché to me.

>>3431605
I'm glad you're enjoying the web comic that's being posted on /tg/.

Couldn't you enjoy it equally if not more on a site dedicated to live posted webcomics?

>>3431533

Fucking loved that game.

Also, I find it amusing that the GG1 is more reliable than and comparably powerful to the most advanced train in Railroad Tycoon 2. Fucking love those trains.

>>3431618
It's not any more cliche than jetsons meet the flintstones or batman vs aliens vs spawn or any of the other terrible bullshit that's always in COMICS.

>>3431620
seriously you have been trolling this since the second session. You made the same argument there. /tg/ threads disappear anyways, if you want to mod ask moot alright. Other than that quit bitching, some of us are enjoying it.

>>3431617
It's an Anonymous meme you tool, not a /b/ meme. Catch up.
And quite honestly, I LOVE RubyQuest. I'm the guy who was butthurt over just missing it up there.

Anyway, I'm going to work now, but it's been lovely arguing with you guys. You're all super-awesome. *thumbs up*

>>3431602
But Mr Troll all of those things are awesome.

I was looking forward to Tom finally using his extra arms for something.

Oh, well, at least we had THIRD EYE action.

>>3431631
I hate to break it to you, but from the side of the fence you refer to as that one troll, I've posted two things while watching and they were both me going "aww wtf" when something stupid happened.

>>3431620
leave this board and never come back

>>3431634
And that explains succinctly why you are willing to sit around and wait for a webcomic to be uploaded to 4chan one panel at a time with idiots screaming the whole time.

>>3431578
>plagues
>new in horror

>>3431641
I just want to talk about traditional games man

>>3431626
Wait, I haven't played Left4Dead but how does the plot, besides infection, have anything to do with this? Sam and Max are an awesome duo, any character similarities merely makes the characters better. And the Animal Crossing thins is really more of a sort of "OH that's a reference to so and so" I don't see any personality similarities. But anyway have a nice time trolling.

>>3431646
Honestly, just go to your other threads. Why the hell are you so perterbed that you have to constanly dog this thread?

So. The characters are kinda dead. When we get to the end and they're cured, what do you think will happen?

a) The "cure-cure" works. Ruby and Tom are free from their curse, and die happily at each other's arms.
b) It works even better. Ruby and Tom become living again, get out, and live happily ever after.

>>3431651
>I just want to talk about traditional games man
If this isn't a traditional game to you, then go enjoy something that does fit your standards and stop posting in this fucking thread.

>>3431651
Nobody is forcing you to post in this thread.

>>3431651
you just want people to talk about what you want to talk about and are jellous of the attention weaver is getting? I mean this is like interactive call of the cutullu man. It really is

Listen, people, there's NO POINT trying to persuade the troll to stop. The more you argue, the more you express disapproval, the more of a buzz it gets. Trolls "believe" whatever is useful for them to believe at any given moment. They all have fast-talk skill maxed out. It'll always be able to come up with a "reason" for what it's saying. Language, reasoning, negotiation Just Doesn't Work on these fuckers. For them, language isn't a tool for communication, it's a tool for manipulation. Every word spoken to a troll is a word wasted. Worse, every word spoken to a troll is a source of information for it to improve its technique. Better to speak to a houseplant.

>>3431665
sorry I failed my sanity check, I'll stop talking to him

>>3431665

This. Honestly, this. Don't talk to a troll at all.

>>3431651
I don't see you talking about chess.

>>3431663
>>just like interactive call of cthulhu

Are you implying that this is interactive and that playing call of cthulhu is not?

What the fuck?

>>3431640
If you're the guy who said it was a "TWEEST" and you're not a troll, you are really stupid. For one thing I'd criticize it for being too OBVIOUS if anything.
>>3431620
Yeah, yeah you believe it's all pre-made. Hint: If you truly did believe that you'd report it and then hide the thread. But you are a troll so you don't.

>>3431665
This.

Also, there's a "report post" button for a reason.

>>3431665
I have to step in here at this point and suggest that not everyone who isn't into the same "interactive" story comic deal that was removed from /a/ and /co/ is the same guy. I personally would rather this stuff be somewhere else too.

>>3431566

I'm pretty sure things are coming to a head now anyway. At most I see maybe four or five more sessions of this before the end.

If we cover as much ground as we did today, I'd say closer to two. I mean, we know where the exit is, we've met the emo bird Weaver mentioned in the poem, all that's left is finding out what the Turtle is about, who's ordering Ace and some sort of confrontation with Subject 6 (who is locked in lab B, where we are just now.)

There's not much more to do before we can escape.

>>3431685

Perhaps /tg/ wouldn't be the best place for this, but where then? Seriously, these interactive game thingies are fun and awesome, but now that you mention it, they really are a bit hard to classify.

>>3431687
I think that Weaver will take the noble road out and leave it with a cliffhanger after he kinda got shot down on some of the major unveiled plot points today.

>>3431685
>"interactive"
>comic
>/co/
>exact same wording as before
>I'm not the same guy I swear you guys I swear
>you guys
>honest

Just finished reading the all the archives and so on. Weaver, congrats on having created something this good.

Regarding the complaining and trolling of these threads and so on (man, this is gonna be a major oldfag moment): There's a precedent for this sort of thing, and to be honest it's not too good. Bloom Writer's work is the main example- a funny, clever and moving story that slowly turned into something else entirely in the consciousness of /tg/ as newcomers tried to figure out what it was and only got answers from sagefags backlashing against the large audience that enjoyed it. Most of this backlash centered on some imaginary egotistical version of Bloom Writer who had created the whole LCB concept (People had been begging for a full story to go with Miko's comics for weeks when he volunteered, and rather than being arrogant he was critical of his work to a fault).

I think we'll be seeing something similar here- but to a less severe degree, and only after the game's conclusion. Several reasons for this:

-LCB had a greater draw for sagefags because at the time there was already one or two spamming in every thread because they didn't like that type of game/specific game, 40k being about the biggest target.
-The fanbase for Ruby Quest has generally proven more even-tempered and troll-savvy. In the olden days sagefags were more frustrating because sensible people just didn't know what to make of them.
-Weaver speaks more frequently, which keeps a damper on rampant speculation. (This one might not have any notable benefit, since it also means more chances for people to assume that Weaver's actions are motivated by deranged drama-queen thought processes.)

>>3431704
In the end this is all tangential and superficial. Ruby Quest is and will remain an extraordinary piece of original content, the sort of thing /tg/ had in large supply back before a large base of memes had been developed and people became less ambitious and more worried about the potential for backlash. Weaver, thanks again for this breath of fresh air.

>>3431697
C+A+D has it's own site and is doing something exactly like this right now.

>>3431676
report is broken. even if they get permabanned it's so easy to get back in here. the only way to stop that would be to remove anymninity sdlkhslkgsldkjg. that would be fine by me.

>>3431685
not everyone is into dwarf fortress, or warhammer 40k or dawn of war. Or dealing with dungeon crawl. Deal with it

>>3431685
May I ask how this could possibly annoy you when you can hide it with ease?

>>3431709

4chan is the melting pot of the Internets. EVERYTHING should have a place in 4chan.

Except for furries.

>>3431726
There are plenty of furries on 4chan.

>>3431720
The same reason it's annoying when people post porn, video games and other non-tg shit in here. Remember when we used to talk about D&D and not about everyone in the universe drawing shit with mspaint?

>>3431720
BECAUSE BAWWWWWWWWWWWW

>>3431726
Look who doesn't want themselves here

>>3431731

Well yeah, but not a /fu/ board for them, where they could post all the yiffing they want.

There was one here once, wasn't there? Everyone who posted there got banned.

>>3431734
Remember last summer when no one could talk about anything BUT D&D?

Yeah, I prefer this. We sometimes get off topic shit, but the board is better for having a bit of open endedness to it.

I said earlier that if we'd all just donate a few bucks to Weaver's paypal we could get the whole RQ thing really going instead of having it wither and die on 4chan. :(

I don't read these threads, but why the hell not keep it here? It's pretty self contained, there's only a thread or two up at any time, and interactive fiction seems pretty close to roleplaying to me. The only downside is that there's a bunch of dumb fucks taking things to far and jerking off over cartoon animals. Again.

>>3431734
Except that doesn't annoy me either. You report then hide. What are you a retard? Oh I see. You ARE a troll. Nobody could be that stupid.

>>3431734
>Remember when we used to talk about D&D

oh god, don't remind me...

>>3431741

Ahh, I don't really have a problem with RQ being where it is. I was just thinking out loud.

Please disregard me: I only troll when provoked. So don't provoke me. (Hulk reference)

BAD END

>>3431687
I agree, story's almost over, and while I don't think it's been a steady downhill descent in terms of quality (I'd say session 6 was weak, 5 was the best one so far, and this one was good overall), it does fluctuate, and one can't deny that something like this is impossible to keep up forever.
So hopefully it'll end soon, before it just inevitably peters out I'd say two more sessions sounds like a good sweet spot for it.

>>3431701
I dunno, the only real negative reaction I saw to any of the reveals disappeared when the threads went past the front page, just like all the trolling did.
It's kind of telling, I think.

Anyway, none of the reveals were particularly improbable or terrible, and considering a lot of the theories until now involved clones, time travel, or aliens, I'd say Weaver pulled that off pretty damn well.

>>3431685
Even if you want to be strict about definitions, there's a strong precedent for Ruby Quest being /tg/-appropriate. It's a game with an interactive story, it's just that the game mechanic is old-school adventure puzzle solving rather that die-rolling combat.

>>3431747
Great Idea!

What is it?

>>3431760

Ah, but here comes the point of RAILROADING. Trolls like to claim that we really don't have any power over the story at all. Were they right, and we can't prove that they'ren't, RQ wouldn't belong here.

>>3431760
MORE PRECEDENTS:

Knight Quest and Drew the Lich [the first one] are essentially the same thing as Ruby Quest, and they were totally /tg/ related. Just because Ruby Quest is less fantasy more sci fi doesn't mean its not /tg/ related.

Y'know what the sad thing is? We can prove RQ belongs here as much as we want, it's all going to be said all over again next thread because of the trolls.

>>3431789
Stop feeding them.

>>3431760
Don't bother, dude. Anyone who argues against something like this is going to be one of the anti-tripfag ANONYMUS R LEEGUN dicks who won't realize you actually contributed a lot to this board.

>>3431770
What? Plot railroading is as traditional as it gets!

Slightly off topic, but whatever. Not like this thread is being useful.

Monday night at midnight, Central time, new Dorf Quest thread. For anyone interested.

>>3431770
The very nature of the adventure makes railroading impossible to prove or disprove. Only one thing ever happens, how can we prove it wasn't what was planned to happen all along? Of course, people have been screaming "THIS IS ALL PRE-DRAWN NOTHING WE SAY MATTERS" since the early ages of drawhores back on /b/.

Most evidence is logic-based or anecdotal, rather than hard proof. Personally I'm convinced beyond all doubt this is done on the fly for a number of reasons:
1. If it's all pre-drawn, why space it out over SIX TO TEN HOURS, AT MIDNIGHT? He could post much, much faster and have to waste less time, and apologists could still just argue he draws fast.
2. Frames that have small changes are posted faster, frames with big changes take longer. Remembering how long each took to draw and then planning an appropriate pause for each one strikes me as more effort than it's worth.
3. I've actually had one of my suggestions used, and I was the only one to suggest it. This could be argued as "I'm the only one who got it 'right'", but then again it's an issue of causality: only one thing happened, and it matched a comment. Did the comment cause the action, or was the action merely waiting for the comment?

It's impossible, by definition, to come up with concrete evidence here, short of Weaver opening some sort of live stream so we can watch him draw while the thread's going.

Wish you can do this, eh?

TROLLING is a traditional game, too, when you think about it.

Also, as predicted, people complaining cliché/railroad/not-traditional-games almost all disappeared at once, indicating samefaggotry off the charts or ANONYMOUS REALLY IS LEGION XD

You mean adventure VIDEO gaming. As much as I love Sam and Max, I won't pretend they're a traditional game, nor will I pretend this, or CAD's vote the next panel thing are /tg/ content.

>>3431803
I'd say the guy I responded to was being perfectly reasonable.

>>3431806
Fuck yes, finally.

>>3431824
It's a collaborative, collective RPG in which a group leads a single character. Just because it doesn't have dice rolls for ST and so on doesn't mean it's suddenly something foreign and terrible.

And anyway, why complain about this? Right now there are a couple dozen threads on /tg/ whose only connection to traditional gaming is that their pornography features elves. Saying RQ isn't /tg/-related would hold more water if it weren't for the shitfloods of even worse threads that successfully run for hours on end without a single sage.

There are much worse things on /tg/ right now, and much less fitting things. Why single this out?

>>3431825
I agree. There's a huge difference between disliking something (or even just finding fault with it) and trolling it. Though generally if you engage in the latter, you also fit the former.

>>3431838
Because its successful?

>>3431852
I've never got people who stick around in threads they hate. You hide it and move on. If you think it doesn't fit, you report it and then hide it and then move on. Unless you're a masochist.

>>3431863
So they do it... because people enjoy it.

One side believes Ruby Quest is a collaborative RPG that focuses on cinematic behavior and foregoes dice-rolling.
The other side holds Ruby Quest is little more than a comic in which people vote on the next panel.

>>3431902
someone has to shit on people's parades.

>>3431907
Both answers are right, and both answers are /tg/ related, although the second is a stretch.

NO ONE IS WRONG, EVERYONE IS RIGHT.

My favorite part was when someone was like "Talk to stitches" and she goes "okay, SHOVE"

and everyone's like WHAT THE FUCK

I thought it was a rather clever way to comment on all the claims of RAILROOOOAAAAAAAD while still being acceptable within the diegesis. made a point without fucking up the narrative.

bonus points: someone actually DID suggest "shove stitches over the edge", but I bet if he'd quoted that they'd only assume he was posting suggestions for himself

>>3431939

Conclusion? When we really are railroaded, it's a good way to see that it's either a flashback of mind control.

>>3431976
Yeah, I'm glad that the one time we're completely and irrevocably veered off of what we actually want to do, it doesn't actually fuck us over.

Ruby'd be able to use her THIRD EYE more frequently if we could just find the EYEDROPS.

'And the birds all cried'

So this crying bird/shade figure is the last of the characters actually mentioned in the poem, right?

Ruby should elevate her KUNDALINI from her AJNA to her SAHASRARA and thereby achieve union with GOD.

Or perhaps that would be a bad thing in this setting?
