* waiting for the Ring girl to step out of the TV *

or Lone_Scout being sucked into the screen...

Sounds good.

-

You mean Samara? Aw c'mon, she looks harmless :)

Exactly ;D

*an amused chuckle can be heard in the background*

-

You sit in front of the TV in the daye roome and flip it on.....and amazingly it works.

An oddly familiar tune starts to play & you start to get flashbacks of horror movie nyte from last Halloween.....causing you to become a bit hesitant to stay near the tv set.

Then an announcer's voice lets you know it is just another groovy tunes(tm) marathon on the musak channel....at which you breathe a sigh of relief.

You sit and watch a bit of tv to calm yourself, before going back to the remaining members of the group to let them know that the TV is safe....in case anyone else wants to watch or listen to something.

Nothing Happens
(token wasted)

-

Well now, friend scout, you now have a choice to make: pass your turn or spend your second token....take yer pick. :)

(as with the others, you have 12 hours or so....till around 5:30 PM EST on February 1st.....to make your choice. If you need more time lemme know)

It's like when you kill yourself in a platformer falling in the water on purpouse because you are curious to hear the splash sound. But maybe your character can survive under water like in Wonder Boy III. You still don't know.

In games I sometimes jump in the water to see if there's a secret area that I CAN swim in....or just to see the failure animations/text and listen to the sounds/music that accompany such.

Enough TV for now, maybe I should go to the toilet? No, not yet. I can hold on a little longer :D

* After watching TV for a while, lone scout is disturbed by some creepy sounds coming from the piano. His eyes are then attracted by the bloody mess beside the crafts table. Confused and panicked, he stumbles backwards and trips with the sitting rug. *

I'll spend my second token on the rug in the Daye Roome

Aw man, I was thinking of taking the rug for my next token.
Well, good luck to you.

It was the only one left in that room. Clearing the room was almost a need :)

Agreed. And with two deaths already having occurred there, the possibility that there would be a third trap seems a little too much. Who would have made that room? John Kramer (Saw movies' major villain)?

More likely to have an exit. Unless Gym used random rolls to set the good and bad outcomes, but I don't think he did.

OP nitpick: There is nothing left of that player near the crafts table....as per the fluff text.

But that is fine...we can roleplay or act as if only your character sees blood there or something similar. :)

-

You go over to the rug after checking the television.....it's bright colors reminding you of better times....before the madness that you've come to call the weyrdning, that is.

"It'd be more comfortable watching tv from here" you think, as you check the rug for traps or hidden evils. Finding none, you breathe a sigh of relief and sit down, alternating with laying on your side every now and then.

As you do so, a tune starts to play on the television
(one that seems a bit appropriate, given the circumstances)

Could it be a sign, you wonder? Should you move? Nothing seems amiss, so you stay where you are for a bit longer before heading back to the others.

Nothing Happens
(token...and maybe character...wasted ;))

-

Well you survived, but yer now frozen until your next turn(when you get one more token so you can try again). Play will now pass back around to the first remaining player.

OP note to Lone Scout: I customized this result to you a bit, to match the other one you got earlier(I mean the fluff text). Hope ya like it. :)

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Maybe a game mod that likes to set lots of traps, perhaps? ;)

(OP note to all: No worries....i'm not that "bastardy" a game mod....no room has that many traps :))

OP note to Joppo/all: Some of the outcomes were randomly picked for some set pieces, and others weren't. The randomly assigned ones were more or less picked as I went along....no RNG site/etc was used when doing so.

-

Btw yer up once again: You still have one token remaining.....so what'll it be? :)
(i.e. what set piece will ya pend it on. Ya know the time limit and etc already so i'll skip it this time)

OOOH, good thinking!

As the other patients keep checking out more areas and objects in the rooms they're confined to, Joppo paces around muttering to himself.

"That song... it was no coincidence. Of course! This institute, it is part of the cultists' plan! This must be the place where they throw those who give them trouble! And it is all connected, and the staff must be part of it too. And the helium... I bet they use machines in the basement to mix helium and other compounds to create the sugar poison. Yes, yes, that must be it!

But if they use these installations for their plan I bet that I can find some stuff that proves I'm right! Should I ask these two lunatics for help? Nah, I can't trust them. Either they are crazy or they are cultists pretending to be, to keep an eye on me. But what about the girl scouts? No, forget about them right now. They might have their own agenda but at least they are keeping the attention of the Illuminati off from me. Anyway! I gotta leave this place, then call the police and tell them what happened here. They will have to come when they hear how people died here sliced by demonic scissors and swallowed by a piano.

But nothing I discovered matters if I don't escape soon. Maybe I should check the medical room. I have a gut feeling about something there"

I spend a token on the staff watch desk in room 3

You remember that sometimes the staff would keep a spare key in one of the drawers of the desk in the medical roome, so you go to it in the hopes that it is there. You are in luck, it would seem.....on the desk there is a keyring, sitting right next to a red stapler.

Going to pick they keyring up, you are surprised to see the stapler start to glow a mesmerizing glow....and against your better judgment you reach out to touch it.

All of a sudden it becomes red hot, and starts to glide along your body....leaving searing marks along your skin as it goes from orifice to orifice.....stapling each one shut in turn with searing hot staples.

As it goes over your mouth, your last words are: "Checccck the sugggar boww-"

You have failed
(Bad End)

"If only he hadn't tried taking my stapler....my, my stapler" the disembodied voice says in an amused tone.

-

Sorry this happened to ya, buddy....I loved yer roleplaying a good deal and it's a shame to see ya go....so in honor of your time with us:

what the patients likely did to the stapler after Joppo's demise
(link above is a semi nsfw song link, as it contains some swearing)

++++

Yer up again, buddy. You have one token and you must spend it.....so feel free to let me know which unpicked set piece you'd like to spend it on when ya can.

(you have around 18 hours, give or take a few hours, from now to choose....if you need more time than that, PM me or let me know here)
