The little gem shieldy thing DOES fit perfectly into the slot! Nothing seems to be happening, though.

You step away to go examine the door again, and something starts to happen! The light from the crack behind the gem shines through it and refracts into a pattern that slides across the wall slowly for a few seconds while morphing slightly before lining up with the 'door' pattern!

You hear a gentle hum that seems to reverberate through the tower around you as the light expands to fill in the pattern completely!

The pattern seems to almost sink away into the light, taking the wall with it! It reveals a staircase behind it, and you go through to climb again - hoping to reach the top of the tower soon!

You emerge from the top of the staircase.

>>679860
look out over the edge are you so high you can't actually see the ground anymore?

Sigh!!! Drill deep into the experience of stunning heights!

>>679860
Look at that cool cloud! It's almost like a floating city.

So are these those crazy "clouds you can walk on" or something? There's stairs leading to them and it didn't look like the tower was big enough to support anything wide at the top. Throw something at the clouds in front of where that staircase on the outside is headed.

Huh. Okay then.
How sensitive is your mysticbullshitometer, Pavane? Thinkin' that might come in handy soon.
Also, considering all the bird imagery in that templey room we came though to get here, maybe bird friend may be a little more involved in this place than we know.

You knew this trip was a terrible idea.

Everything hurts.

>>680139
Is that smoke? Something may be on fire. Double check gravity so you don't fall all over the place, then unbuckle yourself, grab your bag, and see about exiting the pod.

spit, which way does it go? that way is down. your badluck/luck thing has at least kept you alive, even if it's just to torment you more.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

And... always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life.

>>680139

Pull the switch and get outta there!

>>680139
Pull switch, get out of there, Pavane is praying for your safety, you don't want to disappoint her and ruin her world view forever do you?

>>680139
Fire in the compartment behind you.
Unbuckle, grab your satchel and anything else useful, and get out.

You already pulled the switch, it was supposed to launch the lifeboat! It didn't, though, which honestly doesn't surprise you as much as it probably should.

The room is definitely at a weird slope, but it's not so steep that you can't stand on it. It seems like the whole thing lost power, and the only light now comes from what is probably a bunch of emergency lights? It looks like something is coming in through the front windshields in the cockpit on the other side of the door, so at least the turtle probably isn't underwater.

The Door seems to be jammed, probably because it's out of power, or maybe because of whatever mechanical failure caused the thing to not actually launch like it was supposed to anyway.

As you wake up, you start to realize that everything hurts a lot. But that's not really unusual either.

>>683242
Maybe you should stop and check yourself for real injury. Then try to pull open the door. If it won't move, then rummage through your bag to find something to pry the door open with.

You've broken every bone in your body enough times to be pretty sure that they aren't broken this time, and it's not like you could do much about it even if they were.

You attempt to pry open the door.

Thanks to your considerable strength, you are eventually able to pry the door open! It's really smoky in the other room, but there's still some light coming in through the battered windshields of the cockpit

God.

Dammit.

The lifeboat launched right as you were leaving, and you couldn't keep your balance or grip well enough to stay inside the forced open door. You have no idea how far away that damn thing is by now.

The water broke your fall, and you only skipped across it a few times before plunging in, but you are a strong enough swimmer and suitably used to pain that you manage to make it into a suitably shallow area without passing out.

You are soaked.
Everything in your bag is soaked.
Everything is soaked.
Fuck vacations.

>>683552
Get to shore, wring out your shirt, and go through your bag to see what's still salvageable in it.

>>683552
Look around. Do you see any obvious landmarks? That is where you should go, because anybody else who survived would tend to gather there.
Since they'd also be luckier than you, they'd probably also have survival supplies and maybe a radio or something. Also, being luckier than you, they're also going to be a lot better at not dying to horrible luck, so you definitely want to meet up with them.

>>683566

You start to wring your shirt out. Your bag is mostly just full of clothes, you expected that anything else you brought would break or be ruined anyway so you didn't bother to pack much.

>>683575

You can't really make out much in the way of landmarks, just a weird swampy beach as far as you can see in any direction. More marshy-looking terrain going inland, and nothing in particular really stands out to you. The closest thing to a landmark that you can see is the wrecked turtle smoldering out in the water.

Suddenly, you hear a voice coming from behind you!

You look behind you and see what looks like a face peering out of a crack in a rock!

"The hell?!"

Could you answer me a question?

"What? What's going on here? Who are you?"

It's a very simple question - I suspect I know the answer I just want to be sure

"What are you talking about? I'm having a really bad day here..."

Just tell me, you exist, right? You are real?

It's just your luck that instead of being stranded in the middle of the ocean alone, you'd end up stuck with some weirdo.

You wish at least Pavane were here.

>>725997
Uh, yes? Obviously?

>>725997

"Cogito ergo sum, so yes. Question is... what are YOU?"

Tell him you're not real, tell him you're a magical unicorn who grants wishes

"What? Of course I'm real. What kind of goofy question is that?"

Ah, that is interesting. Very interesting. And what are you doing here?

"What the hell would I know. I don't know what's going on. Also why would you even ask me that question, what's weird about that?"

It's not exactly often to meet somebody around here who exists. It is very exciting.

"Wait, what? Are you saying that you don't exist?"

No, not exactly.

"So you exist?"

The face in the shadows grins widely

No, not entirely

God, what a useless headache.

"And what are YOU doing here then, if you don't even exist?"

I am interested in seeing what you are going to do

"Why would you care what I'm going to do?"

Because you exist

"Oh my god you are such a weirdo. What's so exciting about somebody existing?"

Look over there, what do you see?

You look out over the horizon, it looks like some kind of weird swamp or ocean with a ship wrecked off in the distance.

"It's the same damn thing I saw a few minutes ago"

Exactly. It's so exciting! I can't wait to see what you do next!

"What? Why? I hate to tell you this, but nothing good is going to come of anything I try to do."

He grins again.

This guy is giving you a serious headache

Ask it to come out where you can see it.

Ask why Shadowy fang monsters harass shipwrecked individuals so often

Oh let's just go. Start walking along the beach to see if you find something interesting.

You should at least ask the demonic creature if it is willing to assist you. When he decline ask if this cave lead to anywhere, if it doesn't wander off seeking landmarks Pavane could had followed.

"Why don't you come out here where I can see you? What do you have in there anyway?"

Don't be silly, you can see everything in here just fine from where you are.

Oh, fuck this guy.

"If you aren't gonna help me, I'm just gonna fuck off." You stand up and pull your shirt on, it's still not dry but you've decided it's dry enough.

Oh, who said I wouldn't help you? You never asked for any help. If I can assist you in doing whatever it is that you intend to do, I will relish it!

"Yeah, sure. I completely believe you. Later, weirdo."

Very well, since you were a sport and answered my question, I will answer yours as well. I have been known by many names, but if I were to say 'who I am,' I suppose... I would be 'Trouble.'

"Trouble? Really?"

Not 'really', but for all intents and purposes.

"You sure aren't being very helpful right now."

well of course not, you still haven't even told me what you want to do.

This guy is just the absolute worst. Should you tell him what you want to do, or just walk off and let him sulk in his crack?

just walk away.
"Trouble" is clearly not worth any time

>>779455
>you can see everything in here
If that's true, then it's made of shadows.

You know what this is probably a bad idea but at least it'll be interesting. Tell Trouble that you intend to explore the island and survive until you find Pavane again, then the two of you can make plans to get back to civilization somehow.

>>779460
Be careful with the wording. I don't think it's wise to tell Trouble you want to survive until you meet her.

Let's ask for directions. He must know where Pavane is and what direction you need to go to find her.

>>779464
Okay, we could word it like "survive and find Pavane, then live off the land with her until she wants to leave, at which point the two of you will head back to civilization somehow"

You got any MREs in there, Trouble? Maybe an inflatable raft? Satelite phone?
