First examine vent,
Then toss gray die at lampshade
Then if nothing happens try breaking lock with dagger.
If all else fails reminiscence for information

>Toss gray die at lampshade

You toss your beloved gray die at the lampshade. You are not sure what you expected, but not that.

Something smells... shiny.

Try to get the shiny thing out of the vent with your dagger. It may be a key or something.

>>569229
Catch die, fish out shiny thing.

>>569237
Exactly this.

inspect shiny thing
inspect door

try to seduce that vent open. if it fails to yield to your charms, be angry and kick it.

>Catch die

You catch the die before it hits the ground.

You feel... strange...

...have you felt this feeling before? You cant... ...tell.

It's a... two! Not a great roll, but beats a one.

Go get yonder shiny.

>Inspect shiny object

You continue to inspect the shiny object. You don't feel like thinking about this for too long.

The shiny object is an oddly shaped flat object, sort of like a triangle.

Huh. So does the door work?

>>569272
Grab it. Looks like a shard of a circle. Then let's go out the door.

>Grab it
>Door

You put the strange flat thing inside your messenger bag and go to the door. It is locked, and also shorter than you. This probably explains why you are trapped in this room.

Is there any way to remove the grate on the wall? What's on the wall across from the door?

>Is there any way to remove the grate on the wall?

You could try using your dagger, but it's a bit large and is asymmetrical. Same case for the door, without a key we can't actually go through it...
...does it even have a keyhole?
Perhaps there's something in your inventory you can use...

Could use use the strange little triangle as a lockpick? Or as a screwdriver to remove the grate?

>Triangle as lockpick or screwdriver?

Unfortunately, upon further inspection, there's no keyhole on this side of the door. Even worse, the triangle is too acute to use as a screwdriver.

...try throwing the die against the door.

Try smacking the lamp so that it shines on the door. Or try rolling the die to see what happens.

>try to seduce that vent open. if it fails to yield to your charms, be angry and kick it.

Vents are not sentient, and that would probably hurt.

You roll your die.
A six! Nice.

The door swings wide open.
Great, now our die is magical. That would have helped.

(New info! Grey Die changed to Magical Die!)

notice lamp continues to be angle despite gravity.

Walk merrily out.

...wonder, vaguely fearful, what will happen to you if you ever roll a one on your magic die. Resolve to only roll it when you need to.

Peek out the door.

Room Complete!

Right. So what's outside the room?

do a victory dance.

Firstly, seconding the victory dance.

Afterwards, look around your new area carefully. Keep your dagger out and your die away until you're in a place you can safely experiment with how exactly the magic works without risking something bad happening.

>check other room
You walk through a small, dark hallway to the next room.
There is someone on the floor, resting, wearing a headband. There is a long sharp object next to him,
and a crack in the wall. There is a door directly next to the door you are in.

Grab the sharp object and threaten him with it so he tells you where you are and why you're here. Also who he is, I guess.

Wait, do you already know that? You didn't say.

>>571423
Investigate injured and / or napping person.

Poke sleeping person insistently until they wake up.

I say inspect the sharp thing. What sort of the shape is the head of it? Phillips? Flathead, angled to look not-there to our view? Or is it just a point?

>inspect long sharp object
It appears sort of like the blade of the sword. The sharp object has duct tape wrapped around the bottom of it.
>Grab the sharp object and threaten him with it so he tells you where you are and why you're here. Also who he is, I guess.
How do you even know whether or not he knows? You'd figure if he would, he would have less than a stone floor to sleep on, and more than half of a sword by his side. We don't want to start any kind of bad relationship before we even know who we are.

>>571559
Alright fine. Just wake him up and say hello and ask those questions without threatening him.

say hi.

Sorry for lack of updates everyone. But now that I'm back, I'd like to ask how to put in emoticons (sort of) for dialog, sort of like 'Rust'. So uh... ?

Ato: Hello?

GAH THIS IS LIKE MY 7TH TIME POSTING THIS

>>572245
Inspect the rift on the wall!
Try prying the rift with the stick!
Try to reach with the stick to the ceiling-vent!

If you want to format easier, have a preview-feature and an icon-list, take a look at my free userscript tgchan_BLICK: http://tgchan.org/kusaba/meep/res/24283.html#24284 !^^

My most recently posted icons REFUSE TO WORK, so i cant update until... well, they work, or whatever. So it would be great if someone could please tell me why?

>>572267
I have BLICK already :P

>>572549
Off the top of my head, maybe the exclamation mark in the filename breaks the icon format?

Ato: I was going to ask you the same question.

Donnor: The name's Donnor. Where the hell am I?

Ato: I have no idea.

Donnor: What do you mean you have no idea!? I don't see anyone else around here!

Ato: I woke up here a couple of hours ago.

Donnor: ...well shit.

Well, see what the two of you do remember, I suppose.

Then try to door.

>Try to door

The door works, surprisingly. Unfortunately, so do brick walls.
You begin to question the practicality of this building, or whatever it is.

Hooray for lack of updates! *sarcasm*

Get on top of the door, then jump and grab hold of the hole in the upper left.

Or stick stuff into the crack until something happens.

If all that fails, roll the die.

Get a boost to reach the vent.

Poke bricks, make sure it's not a fakeout of some kind.

>Poke bricks

You poke the bricks. One of them slides inwards, and then the bricks, along with the door, appear to just...
...materialize.

You hear a clatter in the first room.

Oh, one of them was a different color from the rest. I guess you solved the puzzle by poking it.

Check out the noise.

>>578986
Yeah, something moving deserves out attention more than a new room. Check out the noise.

You proceed to check out the noise, only to find the astonishingly horribly awfully bad thing that caused the noise...

...the lamp fell.

The light bulb is still intact, however.

Take both of them. See if the lightbulb will screw back into the lamp.

>>587995
Collect them then go out the newly opened door.
