You wake up in a BRIGHTLY-LIT ROOM dressed in a JOHNNY GOWN and with BANDAGES wrapped around your head. The setting is foreign to you. You have no bloody idea how you got here.

What do you do?

Grab ball of twine.

>>666294
Check the door. Is it locked like a prison cell?

Then I guess look and see what's inside the drawer.

Is that a window or a poster?

>>666298
The door is a manufactured metal with what seems to be a SECURITY FOOD SLOT at the bottom and a closed VIEWING PORT at the top. It is also tightly locked. Judging by the box-like structure next to it, you appear to require a KEYCARD to open it.
>>666295
>>666300
When you turn around to pick up the BALL OF YARN, you see the POSTER tacked to the wall. The cheerful meadows and beautiful sunset feel like a mockery of your current situation.

>>666307
May as well pick up the jacks too so you don't step on them.

Anything behind the poster?

>>666310
You tear down the POSTER, unwilling to look at such a saccharine setting amidst your anxiety and building CLAUSTROPHOBIA.
You also pick up the SET OF JACKS, as they are clearly a safety hazard.

…You think you are starting to get PARANOID. You hope you don’t start to PANIC any time soon.

>>666382
Check to see if the drawer is locked. If not, open it.
Then check in the pot with the plant.

>>666382
Go to the door and call out, see if anyone is around.

Check the bed and pillow for anything.

take deep breath as to not panic

You take a deep breath. There is no reason to PANIC, surely you can figure all this out. There must be a perfectly good reason why you are locked in this BRIGHTLY-LIT ROOM… alone. Hoo-boy.
>>666389
You need to do something mindless to clear your head, so you decide to make the bed (if it can be called that; somebody neglected to give you a MATTRESS). You fluff up your PILLOW and adjust the BLANKET and… hey, there’s another DRAWER hidden underneath! Cool.

...this JOHNNY GOWN is a bit too revealing for your liking, alone or not.

>>666439
Alright time to check in the drawers. Maybe there's clothes in there.

Tie the blanket around your waist to cover your backside. Unless you'd prefer it to stay on the bed.

look for clothes in the drawers

>>666466
If that fails, the upgrade to BLANKET TOGA is right in front of you.

>>666439
make sure it's not a plague blanket first.

>>666607
It seems your hunch was correct: in the first DRAWER you find CLOTHES that you recognize, clean and freshly pressed. You waste no time storing them in your INVENTORY, instead slipping right into their familiar comfort. It’s almost a shame; you liked the idea of a BLANKET TOGA. Perhaps some other time when you can afford to be silly. Regardless, you are feeling much more at ease. You put the JOHNNY GOWN in the DRAWER. You don’t see why you would need it now.
You check the second DRAWER. In this one, you find your WALLET, empty but for five assorted COINS. At least, you think it is yours. The IDENTIFICATION CARD was taken out, along with everything else. You pocket the WALLET.

>>666648
Balance on the pot and check out the air vent.

>>666648
Knock on the door. Maybe there's a guard you can ask wtf.

Can you reach the vent?

>>666648
See if you can take the blanket with you. Just in case.

You balance on the edge of the POTTED PLANT and reach the VENT with only a little stretching. It seems to be a fairly standard issue, held in place by four STANDARD SCREWS. There is a light breeze coming from it, and—

Check yourself for injuries and see if the bed can be pushed over to serve as a similar footstool.

Ow. Well, the plant is out of it now, you can tip the pot upside down for a more stable platform to stand on. Pity we don't have anything to unscrew the screws... unless a coin will do it? We could unscrew the vent cover then, and escape through the vent.

The sudden blow to the head, from the ground, reminded you of something: the BANDAGES. You carefully unwrap your cranium and… weird. You were expecting blood, or... something. But the wrappings are totally clean.
You feel markedly uneasy with the rushing realization of just how little you know about your situation.

You decide that you have to get out of here. The BED is bolted into the floor, so you can’t use that as an alternate stepping stool. But now that the DIRT and POTTED PLANT are out of the way…
You’ve made yourself a TERRACOTTA STEPPING-STOOL! You are pretty proud of yourself.

>>666822
repurpose bandages into bitchin' headband

>>666822
Use the stepping stool with caution. Try not to fall off this time.

>>666822
Step on the pot to check out the vent again. Try not to fall again.
Then check out the lamp (carefully).

>>666822
Look to see what was left behind when the dirt was swept beside--perhaps a pocketknife?

Take the toilet paper, you never know.
Check the rectangle thing on the floor.
Cover your hand with the bandages, hang and tug at the vent cover so it comes loose.

Are the coins usable as field-expedient screwdrivers?

>>666821
Are there any wounds or the like on our head at all?

You pick up the UTILITY KNIFE. A cursory glance tells you that, not counting the current blade (it is badly rusted and encrusted with soil), there are three REPLACEMENT BLADES contained within that seem in relatively good condition. You discard the RUINED BLADE.
You sure are glad you didn’t hurt yourself on this when you fell. These things are dangerous. That said, you are glad to have some form of WEAPON, just in case.

Armed and confident, you take another crack at the VENT. The TERRACOTTA STEPPING-STOOL holds firm and you manage to loosen the STANDARD SCREWS using your COINS. Sadly, due to your limited reach, you can’t get the top SCREWS out all the way.
>>666855
You figure you could recover the BANDAGES you put in the DRAWER and wrap up your hand to protect it from the SHARP METAL EDGES as you pull, but you’d rather not fall on the CONCRETE FLOOR again.

Sort of a suggestion but sort of not. If you wanna avoid pixel artifacts in your images save as a .png instead of .jpg

>>667228
Maybe we should do a full sweep of the room anyway. Check the sink and toilet. Someone clever may have even put something in the tank.

>>667228
Stand on top of the bed and check out the lamp. Or maybe see what's on top of the toilet.

>>667228
Where'd that poster get off to?

Don't try to tug the vent cover completely loose, just pry it away from the wall so it bends at the top. Once it's open, figure out if you can use the potted plant to help you climb up and in.

>>667228
Try moving the drawer to the left, put the stool on top of it, and then unscrew the top screws.

You decide to sweep the room for anything useful before taking any more steps to escape. A brief inspection of the SANITATION UTILITIES yields a single LATEX GLOVE floating in the PRIVY RESERVOIR. You replace the top to the PRIVY as the FLIPPED POSTER crinkles underfoot.

Hmmm... can take the drawers completely out? You could use those to boost up the pot so you can access the vent more easily.

does the back of the poster have writing on it or are those just lines?

but yeah, try >>667870

What the fuck have you gotten yourself into? Why aren’t you safe... and what else have you forgotten?

>>668181

Maybe uncrinkle that poster, see how much you can fold up / tear off and put into your wallet. Don't want to forget that again.

>>668181
Recheck our head for injuries, and try to remember how we got here.

>>668181
After a tragic moment of introspection, step up on the bed to examine the light.

Try to unscrew the lightbulb and/or the ceiling lamp. Possibly using the empty plant pot as a step up.

>>668192
you could loose the wallet! the only real solution is to carve your name into your arm with the utility knife

or if you arent ready for that then then prick your finger to add your last name to the poster just in case

... by the way, whats the last thing you remember? Or is it total amnesia?

No head injuries that you can feel. Your head still kind of hurts from the tumble you took, but that is all you know.

You think hard, trying to remember where you came from, who you are, anything at all. Your head pounds as you wrack your brain, sifting through faded images and indescribable emotions. It seems to be no use. All you can pull from the tumult and noise are things that you would normally attach to your NAME… your IDENTITY. You will not lose that again.

You are good with COMPUTERS. You are SMART, smarter than most; you got a full-ride to a top university, but you don’t remember which one. You are a GRADUATE STUDENT. You are NOT LUCKY, at least romantically speaking. You are NOT WEALTHY. You are NOT ATHLETIC and many PHYSICAL TRIALS are challenging. You like PUZZLES, BOOKS, and HELPING PEOPLE. You are a PICKY EATER, and most foods are too “out there” for you to try. There is SOMETHING WRONG with you. You have ONE friend.
You LOST SOMETHING recently, but you cannot remember what. It was really, really important.

It’s too much. It’s all too much.
The room is too bright and the FLUORESCENT BULB buzzes with an incessant whine that you only just noticed (how did you not notice it before?). The white walls begin to swim.

LEE is beginning to PANIC.

>>669235
Gotta calm down. Closed eyes and deep breaths, maybe think of something calming.

Who was that friend?

>>669235
Take a deep breath, try to relax. Try to focus on remembering who the friend was and what you lost.
Then try removing that florescent bulb.

hey, anyone would have a hard time in this situation. its pretty scary to wake up without remembering who or where you are! its okay to be scared, but remember you arent in any danger. take a minute and try to relax if you can. relax your muscles while you breathe out, and then breathe back in deeply and steadily.

you like puzzles, right?
think of it like a real life puzzle... you already solved the first clue and got your name back! the next step is getting out of the room. dont worry about anything beyond that goal for now.

take deep steady breaths

Wrap yourself up in that blanket for a while. Hold it to your face; cover your eyes, cover your mouth just a bit. Give yourself some time to breathe. Let yourself panic a bit; you can learn to pick yourself up in a little while.

>>669241
Don't try to force the personal stuff right now.

Deep breaths. Count your fingers and toes until you calm down.

You remember that you went to a top university, what did you major in? As a grad student, what was your thesis going to be about? What was the football team's mascot?

You’re alright now. You’ve dealt with much worse than this. You don’t remember what, but you know you have.

LEE decides to look for ANSWERS. You don’t think you will find any here. It’s time blow this joint.

Teach that vent cover what for!

Try folding the blanket and putting it on top of the pot, then put the pillow on top of the blanket. Then step up on the pot to try to reach the vent again.

Spread the blanket around the pot and put the pillow somewhere where you can aim your head if you fall?

can you take a drawer out and then place the stepping stool on top of it?

Step on the stool and use your mighty prehensile mouse tail to unscrew the top 2 screws on the vent with your COIN or UTILITY KNIFE

Step up on the stool again and use a coin to unscrew the top two screws of the vent. Try not to fall, but if you do, try to fall on the pillow & blanket.

Use one of the drawers from the bed?

If you fully extend that knife of yours, you may be able to get enough reach to ratchet those top screws.
