You awake from sleep mode as Willie slaps you. He sees your eye camera opening, and he slaps you a couple of more times, you assume for shits and giggles. "Wake up, sleeping beauty."

>ACTION?

after waking up make conversation with Willy, ask him more about what he does when he's not killing these things, how he feeds himself, earns things to trade, etc.

rolled 7 = 7

>>20032239
go into town / marketplace and perhaps trade some stuff?

Where are you OP?

>>20032281
(sorry bout the hold up, prepping for an eye doctor visit. couple days ago i got an ember in my eye, massive scratch on the cornea. bad times)

"I gamble, mostly. You saw my business card. Card shark. I know how to count cards, and being able to use the Phantasm lets me get a glimpse of people's inner psychology. It's good for seeing poker faces. Other than that, I peddle my other job, that of an assassin. It's not sightly, but it gets food in my belly." He explains

>ACTION?

>>20032486

Slap him on the shoulder "Well, let's find somewhere to make a bit of money, eh?"

>>20032524
"Yeah, sure, let's do so." He says, going to a bag by his feet and pulling out three plastic cups and a pebble. "Let's play some shell games, eh?"

>ACTION?

>>20032866

Wait, are we playing against him? or hustling other people in the street? :s it appears to be A but i was under the impresion we're partners now.

>>20032918
"We're hustling people in the street. Nothing better. Why would I play against you, buddy?" Willie says coyly.

>>20032934

Okay, let's do this!! Follow willy into the street, etc. let's get started.

>>20032934
Mine as well go hustle some swag from the folks.

>>20032947
You go out with Willie onto the street, bringing out a foldable table for him. He sits on a laundry bag full of clothing and waits for people to come up.

You watch him do his thing. It's almost a work of art, seeing him shuffle the cups around. Every so often you see his eyes bug out for a moment, you assume him using the Phantasm to better predict which cup someone's looking at.

You watch in awe as person after person deposits their bets and attempts to win, and not a single person does after 30 minutes. The bag of loot grows larger and larger.

>ACTION?

BUMP

>>20033339
you could contribute instead of bumping, y'know.

>>20033110
Whilst he's scamming people lets go have a look at the market. look for furniture and the like.

>>20033362
Well I chose the last thing, i don't like to contribute to much personaly, i feel like others might not like my direction and this has been a popular quest the last few days (on account of you being awesome).

>>20033110
hmmm... maybe we should try and beat him to make it look like it's possible. Since we're partners we lose nothing and it could improve the number of people playing. that is if we haven't given ourselves away yet.

>>20033390
(You dont have to have a popular opinion. Don't let it stop you from putting in input)

>>20033377
hmmmm this.

>>20033377

this, look for anything relevant we need, after checking our pot of what we have accumulated so far.

>>20033377
You decide to take a small share of the loot (3 Antique Quarters) and go to the market to see if you can find any furniture. It, like the Tractormaede market, is somewhat bustling, but there is a much larger selection.

>ACTION?

rolled 57 = 57

>>20033652
find furniture that would be fitting and functional for someone of our unique tastes.

>>20033652
Begin with the most basic of all furniture. A chair, desk, and a drawer.

>>20033652
Whats the weapon market like? Also I wonder how hard it would be to make gun turrets.

>>20033690
>>20033694
You decide to go to a stall that sells furniture. There is a somewhat portly looking man, and you show him your money. He says he'll give you a desk and a chair for the three quarters, but that's it.

>ACTION?

I think we're going to need more practical things!

things that will aid with our research maybe?

>>20033797
Research? He says. He says he doesn't have much for that, he's afraid. Most of the stuff you could use for research your scanner has functions for, you think to yourself.

>ACTION?

>>20033857
Lets get the desk and chair, we can always get more furniture in the future

shall we go see what our friend has collected while we have been gone, Ask him if he can teach us a few tricks (If we don't want to do it now) as he probably knows some mundane tricks or tricks we can replicate with our robot brains to earn a bit of cash. and then go to take out another worm-host.

>>20033880
>>20033885
You hand the man the three quarters and use your robot strength to take the furniture with ease. You go back to your base and set down the furniture inside, before going to see how Willie's doing.

"Still haven't lost anything important. Lost one or two on purpose to give the illusion of being winnable. Check the loot." Willie says, patting a quite large bag next to him. "It's easy funding. We don't really need to get jobs when there's suckers on the street. Speaking of which, don't you have a meeting with Miss Robosexual today? heh, I jest."

>ACTION?

>>20033978
Bah, left my captcha in the post

We need to tell him that we got a chair and a desk, then lets go meet crazy jane.

"Neato. Things are always good. Well, enjoy your date! BAAahahahaha! I'll go get some stuff and food for me and Rex while you're out." Willie says, slapping his knees at his own unfunny joke. At least, you don't think it's very funny.

>ACTION?

>>20034082
Let us be off to meet our meatbag robosex waifu.

>>20034082
"Whatever you say, Willie."

Head off to say hi to Crazy Jane.

>>20034156

Let's get her to tune up our chips.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB1EAPM6rYA

File: 1343238904196.jpg-(123 KB, 784x516, crazyjane.jpg)

You go to the store place thing again, say hi to Graves as you pass him, and walk in to the back room. You go in, and Jane isn't there yet, so you sit down in a chair.

A couple of minutes pass by again, and Jane walks out of the door in the back, zipping her pants up. "Sorry about that, I had to go to the bathroom. Ready to begin?"

>ACTION?

I AM READY TO BEGIN

>>20034207
(The temptation to say "Gurrrl, you know I'm ready" is there, but I'll stop)

"Sure thing, Jane."

>>20034181
"OPERATIONAL PROCESSES NEEDED... BEEP.... nah i'm kidding i don't talk like that, Good morning what's the plan for today."

>>20034340
>>20034333
>>20034278
"Sure thing, Jane" You say. She grabs a pile of scrap, some wires and circuit boards, and a couple of screws. "Make something out of this." She says.

You work on the pile of scrap for about an hour, thinking for 10 minutes of that and then trying to pound things into shape. You ask her for some chain links, and you take a spare set of leather gloves that she lets you have.

>>20034443
As the finishing touch, you take apart your coulf knuckledusters and put them onto the Scrap Gauntlet. It whirrs and clicks as you set it onto your hand, and moves along with you like it's a natural extension to your limbs.

"Spiffy." Jane says, leaning a bit close to you.

(this is part of our lesson. Jane is sort of hands-off sort of teacher. Don't expect free items a lot.)

Add more shit to it.
Electro-shock fists tied into our power system.

>>20034467

Shall we take another lesson or shall we grab our friend from the street and go hunt another worm-host with our new fist?

>>20034467
"Thanks for the help, Jane"

Wrap other arm around her shoulder whilst looking at the newly crafted gauntlet in pride.

"Think there's a way to modify this for further capability?"

>>20034563
>>20034574
>>20034634
"Thanks, Jane," You say as you wrap you arm around her shoulder. You try not to notice her blushing. "Is there anything else we can do to add to this?" You ask.

"Not today. I have things to be doing. Come back tomorrow." She says, getting up and going back into her back room.

>ACTION?

>>20034682
Lets go see will and what he won, also did we fully clean the house up?

>>20034682
Check up on Will, see if he's gotten into any trouble yet or if we can trade more swag for home base goods.

>>20034793

This, suggest to him we go worm huntin. (will also mean another building under our posession i guess.)

You already know that Willie spent the most of the night getting the place organized and getting the blood out of things. You go back to the base to see Willie there, feeding Rex a raw steak. You also see there's a raggedy looking but also soft looking doggie bed for Rex. The place also looks somewhat more furnished, with a table with two chairs and a chess set on it, a bookshelf full of books and also various board games, and a somewhat old couch against the wall. "Nice haul," you say to Willie, and he nods to you. "Ready to go worm hunting?" You say as you flex your gauntlet.

and then something clicks.

-So, ready to go worm hunting?" Willie asks as you come back into consciousness.

>ACTION?

>>20034936
I've got a gun, a robot fist and a metal heart full of justice. Let's do this.

Make sure to pet Rex on our way out.

>>20034936
Quick draw, spin revolver around like a true cowboy, and holster.

"Time to get hunting."

"When am i not ready to squish things, you ready to kick some ass."

make a plan for the next location on the map

>>20034958
>>20034966
>>20034968

"As always, Alex." Willie replies. You pet Rex on the way out, and your clock tells you it's about 1:00 PM. The next wormhost is a couple of blocks away, near the sewers.

>ACTION?

>>20034993
Okay first we survey the building from the outside, get a grasp on entrances and exits. If possible block off exits so that the host can't easily escape to the sewers, because I'm not touching that place with a 10 foot pole.

Once that is done we'll methodically clear the house room by room, with sonar pings being used regularly.

>>20035018
This. Also give willie the molotav and the lighter, if we need an emergency save i bet fire will hurt it more than us.

>>20035018
>>20035031
You hand Willie the molotov and the lighter and instruct him to use it as a last resort. He nods.

You both go and seal up any exits around the house, any cracks and such. You stand about 10 minutes later ready to go in.

>ACTION?

>>20035107
Open door, revolver in one hand and gauntlet in the other. Ping the area.

>>20035138
Yeah, that sounds about right.

>>20035138
>>20035162
You open the door, gauntlet in one hand, revolver in the other, and you immediately ping.

Unluckily for you, you didn't need to do that.

There's a figure crying in the corner.

This one looks quite different from the other two you've seen. You assume this one, being close to the sewer, was infected for quite a while.

You fire at it wildly, but all of your shots miss. Before you know it, you're on the ground and this thing has you pinned down.

You stun the wormhost with a burst of noise and then you hear the comforting whirr of your gauntlet as you punch the wormhost in the face, knocking him pretty far backwards.

Willie grabs the man and you see both of their eyes begin bulging as he activates the Phantasm.

(cont.)

>>20035589
The wormhost curls down into a ball and begins crying. You assume he'll ask you to put him down now, and you aim your rifle accordingly.

He turns towards you, his face twisted with hatred, and screams "I'LL FLAY THE FLESH FROM YOUR /BONES/!"

>>20035704

No point, one can assume if it's not regenerating it's dead, dig the worm out anyway, just in case.

You see the boy lying on the floor and you go in to dig the worm out...

And a horrid noise comes out of the boy. You see lacerations begin to appear on his body, extending and..

they begin to form into mouthes. Toothy mouths, and a little tongue sticks out of each one. The noise is deafening.

>roll 1d100 to react, best of 2

>>20035825
Ahh, as expected, that creature we met was a worm host.

>>20035704

This should be standard policy from now on.

Pump an explosive round into it and go in for the worm extraction

You nod at Willie and you create another burst of noise as you hear a "foomf" of fire. Willie tosses the molotov to you and you jam it down the wormhost's throat, then shoot it in the stomach. The wormhost screeches and screeches as you see it glowing red from the inside. The fire begins leaking out of its mouth and gun hole in the stomach, and then it burns for a couple of minutes.

>ACTION?

Take our robotic heel and stomp clean through its skull.

Then let Willie get the worm out.

>>20035992
prevent the fire from spreading.
Make sure the worm either burned down or is going to get stomped.

also, just finished reading the first 4 threads, great quest we have there.

>>20036043
>>20036048
>>20036205
>>20036126

You stomp on the burning corpse. You step on it and step on it and step on it again and again, until the fire is out. "The worm's dead, right?" You ask. Willie says "Yeah. Probably scorched and obliterated. Shall we move on?"

>ACTION?

rolled 5 = 5

>>20036273
What is this talk of "probably"?

WE NEED VISUAL OR SCANNED CONFIRMATION

THE INFECTION MUST BE STOPPED

>>20036357
"Yeah, sure thing." Willie says, taking the knife out and slicing open the stomach of the charred corpse. You don't feel right seeing this happen in front of your eyes, even though you've seen some similar things happen already. Willie pulls out the charred, shriveled worm from the boy's stomach. You're unsurprised.

>ACTION?

>>20036273
Scan the rest of the residence for life-signs and investigate the premises.

>>20036465
Well that's nice. Shall we loot the house and bury the body.

Do another scan to make sure there isn't anything in here other than him.

rolled 32 = 32

>>20036465

Look for some SWAG, search the house, then inventory everything we do have at the moment, also, if this place is just going to lay empty why don't we think about turning it into something that could be profitable, a bar/poke house?

>You are Alex Murphy, a 250 year old robot who can think, and the voice of your creator is inside your head.

NO!

>>20036544

Ohshit, rather than walk into the unknown, set up and ambush down here and try to draw them down, get matey to use phantasm to check it out sneakily.

>>20036575
They all appear to be the same general size of a human child. They are highly active, seemingly agitated.

Shit. Either this is a hive or he's been taking prisoners. Tell Willie, then head carefully upstairs.

rolled 74 = 74

>>20036612
Load explosive rounds, prepare for combat. Approach staircase quietly and move upstairs slowly.

Little bastards are quick, I bet.

rolled 95 = 95

I sense there to be more above us
let us investigate

rolled 85 = 85

Call Enforcers for backup, quick!

>>20036612
we'd better find a way to tell if they're infected or not, maybe using our friend's phantasm abilities, if they're all clean, we could try rescueing them. If they are infected we'd better burn the house down or find a way to kill them at once, 2 on 6 we are likely to get murdered

"Hey Willie. There's six of them. Upstairs." You say.

"Are you 100% certain?" Willie replies.

"100%. Absolutely." You reply.

..

"SHIT!" Willie yells. You hear noise upstairs. "Alright. We gotta let them come to us. The stair is a natural choke point. These are probably the remaining 6 killers here, but I've never heard of them congregating like this. Never."

>ACTION?

rolled 81 = 81

Call for enforcer backup incase shit hits the fan, prep a molotov in case, reload, take his advice, wait.

>>20036771
Willie, why don't we set upstairs on fire? Force them to run from the fire and smoke down here. We can litter the path down the stairs with spikes and other obstacles to make our life easier.

I wish we had a bigger gun.

Get Willie to go up and get tackled and drag them all into phantasm world, and when they're distracted shoot the shit out of them.

yay nay?

>>20036771
Then, how about we ... set the upper floor on fire ?

>>20036806
>>20036804
Just fyi, you used your only molotov to burn the corpse.

use the lighter.

get some clothing to start a fire.

Anyways, i'm done for the night, cya guys next thread.

>>20036848
"Only if we're as lucky as shit." Willie says. You pull out your phone and Willie asks "What are you doing?"

"I have backup. The Enforcers, you said they know the deal." You say. You dial up Delia. You tell her to come help, you need back up. She says she'll send a group to get there within 10 minutes or so.

>ACTION?

rolled 93 = 93

Six targets, six rounds in the revolver.

It was meant to be.

I say we get the fuck out of there to the other side of town. Solve the problem later. Doing good is good, but doing good and dying is not good.

>>20036921
Prepare a choke point of death, take any obstacles as we can and put them in between the stairs and out defensive position.

I wish we had more gasoline, maybe the Enforcers will bring some.

>>20036941
There aren't really any obstacles you can set up in there way, but you get two tables from the floor and set up a makeshift barricade.

There's about another 5 minutes before the enforcers arrive, and the activity upstairs is getting noisier.

>ACTION?

rolled 24 = 24

>>20036941

Quickly check the house for anything flamable! alchol, gas for a camp burner, etc. etc.

rolled 40 = 40

Make a table fort at the bottom of the stairs. An impenetrable bastion of robo-righteousness.

>>20037013
Set up the barricade, look around for anything highly flammable, alcohol, kerosene, that sort of thing.

>>20037023
>>20037066
>>20037085
You look around the decrepit house, and find underneath the stove a gas thingy. You tear it out and its about 1/4 full, you'd guesstimate.

>ACTION?

>>20037144
Excellent, bring it to the stairs, make a small hole in it so the gas leaks out, leave a trail of gas from the bottom leading up to a good point on the stairs no so high up that we'll aggro the worms. We'll set it off when they start coming so they have to charge through a pile of fire and the ones in the front get blown up by the exploding canister.

rolled 82 = 82

>>20037198
Why not just but it at the top of the stairs and shoot it with explosive rounds when they get close? Saves getting accelerant everywhere.

>>20037258
But if we go upstairs we run the risk of aggroing the wormhosts. Which is bad.

>>20037198
>>20037258
>>20037298
how bout we throw it up and wait for them to start coming down?

>>20037307
You go back to the main part of the lower floor, just as a group of burly looking Enforcers come in through the door. 4, to be exact. "Thanks for the help," You tell them. They just stare at you and pull out their guns.

"Ready?" Willie asks.

>ACTION?

>>20037341
Make sure everything is set up. Brief everyone on the situation.

Get a firing line at the bottom of the stairs, tell them to plug their ears and Feedback to call the Wormhosts to the slaughter.

rolled 15 = 15

I'm going to feel SO damn guilty if they arn't worm-hosts, probably worth this just incase though.

File: 1343256134949.png-(409 KB, 608x684, wormhosts.png)

You set up the gasoline tank on the stairwell, briefly explain the situation, and tell them to cover their ears.

You activate the feedback again, and twice for good measure. You hear the noise upstairs stop as the figures stop moving, and then, they begin moving down.

You had nothing to worry about. They are 100% wormhosts.

>ACTION?

>>20037441
roast em. if the gas thing is down with us, toss it and shoot it. if it's already up there, shoot it. also, tell your allies to open fire

>>20037441
Once they come into sight we open fire, focusing on headshots. Once we get a good number of them close to the gas container we shoot an explosive round at it and then continue firing.

If any of them start getting too close we punch them to keep them away from the rest of them, we are a lot easier to repair than fleshies.

>>20037487
>>20037472
"OPEN FIRE!" You yell as you duck down so the Enforcers have room to shoot. You hit the canister first, making a big explosion that tears a chunk out of the upstairs floor and stairs. Also it seems the house is now on fire. The wormhosts begin rushing down, ignoring the fire, leaping at you.

You watch Willie as his eyes bug out and his skin turns pallid. He stands up, ignoring a bullet that grazes him, and runs into the tangled mass of bodies. It's absolute chaos, Willie in some sort of trance as he just beats the shit out of things and you just keep firing, trying not to hit him in the mass. Fortunately, you're good at aiming and the Enforcers are as well.

Within short order, the ball of violence stops moving. Willie gets up, raises his hands above his head, yells "Whooooo!" And promptly collapses.

rolled 80 = 80

>>20037578
Carry willie out of house then unset it on fire.

>>20037578
Confirm the kills on all of the wormhosts.

Sling Willie over our shoulder and ask the Enforcers they know where the fire department is and where to find Willie a doctor.

NNnnnnope, the mass of wormhosts gets back up. And they're all stuck together. And on fire.

You yell at one of the Enforcers to take Willie to a doctor and get a fire department. They nod and one of them grabs Willie and fucking bolts.

>ACTION?

rolled 19 = 19

Fucking Willie man, boss as fuck! I say we build/find him a better fist weapon!

Start ripping them fucking worms out of these poor poor souls, instruct the enforcers to aid you, also putting a bullet in the head of each one to be sure.

rolled 17 = 17

>>20037578
The wormhostd must be confirmed dead before first aid is administered or we risk endangering everyone.

rolled 37 = 37

>>20037646
Fucking fuck fuck.

Scan it for weak points, apply bullet to weak points.

Look for weak-points in the house. If we can't beat it straight up we'll collapse the building.

>>20037711

Seconding this plan. Pulse feedback to stun, that'll give us time to figure out how to collapse the building.

rolled 80 = 80

>>20037646
Scan for weakpoints?

>>20037773
You scan the wormhosts for weak points but it doesn't do much, because your scan is passive and it doesn't really work against these weird monsters for the same reasons it didn't work on the creature you met after you met Rex. It's just a shifting ball of biomass. It's too differentiated for you to find any weak point before it changes.

However, you do know the weak points to the house. Several pillars of wood that hold the house up from collapsing in on itself.

>ACTION?

>>20037848
People, we're going to bring the house down on this sucker.

Tell them the pillars which need to be destroyed, destroy them and then get out of the house before it falls on us as well.

>>20037863
Lets do it!

rolled 14 = 14

>>20037863

This!

>>20037848

Stun the fucker as much as we can, then target the weak points.

"Alright, everyone out of the goddamn way! I'm going to bring this house down!" You say. You load 4 explosive shells. You fire them off.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang creeeeak creeak

bang

The house, predictably, collapses inward, crushing the wormhost thing to death and shunting you under a huge pile of rubble.

You become ko'd.

You start to dream.

>ACTION?

>>20038076
Call out for Doc

>>20038076

Father? Am I dead?

"Of course not. Do you really think I would build you to be not sturdy enough to survive a house falling on you? You could survive a full-on building falling on you because of an earthquake! No, you're just dreaming. I programmed this into you because I wanted to see what would happen if you dream, and it gives you an incentive to go into sleep mode more often. That is the age old question, after all. Do robots dream of /electric sheep/?"

And suddenly you are on a pasture with wire grass and mechanical goats.

>ACTION?

lucid dream our selves into a megaman game.

BECOME PROTOMAN AND WHISTLE

>>20038141
Only when you suggest them.

Dream of mechanical things, fixing things and Crazy Jane seductively repairing a machine.

He gets to experience all of the awkward young robo romance, we have a chance to screw with him here.

"The electric things have their life too. Paltry as those lives are."

>>20038143
Second mightily.

>>20038143
>>20038183
You would, but you have no idea what "megaman" or "protoman" is. But you can whistle.

>ACTION?

>>20038260
Shame.

Lie down, enjoy the view, then see if we can make it into a lucid dream that we control. Then shift the focus to mechanical things, building, fixing, taking things apart. And Crazy Jane with her talented hands that know just what buttons to push, literally.

rolled 20 = 20

>>20038308

This! Sleep learning!

>>20038308
>>20038172
You decide to be a bit rebellious for the time being, and focusing on the wire grass, you shift your dream into a factory as you fall inward towards the grass. Circuitry envelopes you as you false awaken into a large factory, with only one person making duplicates of you on a seemingly infinitely long assembly line.

>ACTION?

>>20038384
Do we recognize the person?

Go up to the assembly line, get a better look at them, see how close they are to us currently and us when we first woke up.

>>20038417
The person is misty and foggy, like you can't recognize the outline. You can tell it's a girl, and she's not moving. You're going to need to move closer to her for a better look.

>>20038435
Approach the assembly line. Get more information on this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d30OSJkt7Dc

This is what we whistle while we dream

>>20038484
You approach the assembly line and are startled as all of the yous pivot without moving to face you. The assembly line begins to shift and coil like a snake, and before you know it, you are cocooned in the blackness of the assembly line.

The girl is still there, still fuzzy.

>ACTION?

>>20038526
Approach the fuzzy girl, reach out for her. See if we can take her hand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mDWzu5yxLg

this is still our theme always and forever

You reach out to the fuzzy girl while whistling a strange tune that popped into your head. She turns to you and, surprise surprise, it's Crazy Jane. She extends her hand to you.

>ACTION?

>>20038565
Make like the robot devil and DANCE WITH HER!!!

>>20038565
Take her hand in ours, see if we can pull her into a kiss and then a dance number.

>>20038594
>>20038587
(dancemind)

You grip her hand tightly. Her face is still blurry, but this is expected, it's a dream. You put your hands on her hips and hers on your shoulders as her mechanic uniform turns into an elegant gown and your sheriff clothing turns into a snazzy tuxedo jacket. You waltz in the black void.

You hear Doc moaning in the background.

>ACTION?

>>20038555
that's our theme song, protoman whistle is more like our taunt at this point or a sound we can actually make.

>>20038615
As a side note dream up someone for Doc to dance with. It might shut him up and let us enjoy this dance.

>>20038615
dream up an electric sheep for doc, and give him a wink

>>20038638
>>20038640
As you continue to waltz to an imaginary soundtrack, you create a mechanical sheep lady and tuck it away into your subconcious for Doc to dance with. He chuckles and says "Touche."

>ACTION?

>>20038674
Finish the dance, give her a kiss and then wake up and see how we're doing.

>>20038674
Save this dance in a file for the real jane to find as a land mine next time she scans our head, should be fun. make sure she knows we put it there

>>20038704
>>20038707
I agree with these.

>>20038707
>>20038704
You decide to finish the dance by pulling Jane in close for a kiss. Doc groans again, but doesn't say anything about it besides that.

Then you decide to take a snapshot, to save the experience in your memory as a surprise to Jane next time she decides to sift through your files.

You decide enough is enough, and want to wake up. Jane fades away.

But you don't wake up.

>ACTION?

rolled 5 = 5

>>20038704
>>20038707

my first action in this quest.
is to agree with these as well...

but give her the whole dream from zero

>>20038773
Hey Dad, could you tell me more about this whole freaky lucid dream thing?

>>20038787
seconded,

If i'm not waking up scan the area and the system something is wrong

>>20038810
>>20038804
You ask dad about the dream setting that he programmed in to you.

There's no reply.

And you're still standing in a black void.

>ACTION?

>>20038852
Run a systems check.

>>20038852
Run a systems check, use Sonar Ping.

rolled 12 = 12

>>20038852

or we awaken and look around having been extracted and ask what the hell just happened...

This is the worst Deadlands thread I've ever seen.

>>20038880
>>20038868
>>20038877
You try to run a systems check. Nothing is responding, which is beginning to trouble you. You can't use your sonar ping either.

You see a file whiz by, in a literal file of papers with some falling out.

>ACTION?

"Hmmm, a 'nitemare'.... interesting. Shame I have no fear circuit."

walk into the void. i'm betting this is a phantasm type deal

>>20038912

Check some of the papers it dropped

Follow it, pick up the papers as we go.

Try and grab the file, and grab as many of the spilled papers as you can. Do the same with any others that fly past.

>>20038942
>>20038941
>>20038930
You grab one of the papers as it falls. The only thing on it is several garbles of letters in a pattern you can't recognize at all. You pick up another paper. It's the same.

More files whiz by above you, and soon a veritable torrent of papers come raining down, falling past the invisible floor and down into the infinite blackness below you.

>ACTION?

>>20038979
Try and track the files back to their source.

>>20038979
Is it the exact same pattern or are they all just incomprehensible?

Head in the direction that the files are going, try to head upwards as well.

>>20038979

>>20038995
You begin wandering backwards in the direction the files are not going.

You keep walking. For several hours, in fact.

Then you reach... a giant you. Files are streaming out of your eye.

>ACTION?

>>20039072
Scale the giant us up to the eye and look inside.

>>20039072
Start climbing the giant us. Try to get to where memory is stored, I'm guessing that'd be the chest or the head.

You awake in a bed. Your internal clock tells you that it's morning the next day. The day of the funeral.

Rex is standing over you, nuzzling your face.

>>20039158
Pet Rex, scratch behind his ears. Make sure he understands how adorable he is.

What time is the funeral?

>>20039158
Pet doggy. go to funeral.

Find the nearest person and find out what happened to Willie.

And where are we?

>>20039199
"Yeah, but I bet you enjoyed that one bit." Doc says knowingly. You can almost hear his sly wink. It's 9:00 AM and the funeral is at 4:00 PM. You notice there is a somewhat jagged scratch across the front of your face. You look in the window and the pale reflection shows you that it looks somewhat like a mouth. Oh well.

Willie is in the bed next to you, wrapped in bandages. He looks relatively okay though.

You are in your home base place.

>>20039507
look around for whoever was taking care of us.

"wrex, you feel like going out? walkies?"

>>20039507
Give Rex more pets. See if Willie is awake, if he is than ask how he's feeling and what we missed while we were out of it. If not than let him rest.

Find the sheriff and see about recompense for what we did.

>>20039561
>>20039577
>>20039567
You scratch Rex behind the ears a bit more, and you notice there is now a leash on him. Nifty, but somewhat unnecessary. Willie isn't awake, so you decide to take Rex on a walk to the police department to get your reward for being awesome and killing all of the wormhosts that you are aware of in New Scotsdale.

>ACTION?

Head on into the police department, get to the Sheriff's office and knock on the door.

See how many looks of adulation and amazement we get on the way.

You walk into the police building and people start clapping at your arrival. You walk into Joshua's office and he looks up, somewhat tired looking. He tosses up a jingling sack onto the desk for you, and then asks you to go away, he's tired and he has paperwork to do. It's 50 quarters for you.

>ACTION?

>>20040532
Apologize for interrupting him. Ask if he could give us a quick summary of what we missed while we were unconscious before we go.

>>20040532
Take the bag, thank him, tell him to contact us if anything else crops up, go get details on what happened from side-kick bro.

And go get some upgrades. Maybe check out the shops weapons and the like. Get us a proper flamethrower.

I don't think people dress up for funerals in this day and age.

I second the visit Jane suggestion.

((alright guys, i'm not really in the best of moods right now so I hope you wouldn't mind terribly if I bounced for the night a bit early and we can continue this fun tomorrow. Also, as per usual, try to keep it bumped periodically.

"The building collapsed, we fished you out, we put you in a bed. Not a whole lot more than that." Joshua says.

You say you'll be going now. You take the money and go, deciding to go to Crazy Jane's for the moment. Graves says hi, you say hi back. He says "The usual, she's in the back."

Go see her, see if she has anything to teach us and whatnot

Good mornin' miss. how are you?

Proceed with small talk, return her books we read no need for the extra weight and we might be able to get something more. Ask about the funeral later today and if shes attending.
