I mean, that's a very valid reason, though if you brought them up, you're, pretty sure she'd have some crazy way of explaining it. She keeps giving you the big stupid eyes that she's always given you since the beginning of forever...and your strength against her is weakening.

Zen: "Okay you know what? Fine! But you've gotta PROMISE that whatever happens to me is your responsibility, and if I die then you're getting your ass haunted by me, dude!"

Zac: "YES! OH MY GOSH THANK YOU YES-"

Zen: "AND ALSO YOU'VE GOTTA KISS ME!"

Zac: "....Wait? Really? That's all? OH GOD DUDE OF COURSE!"

Zac immediately comes at you with open arms, leaning in to give you a big smoochies on the cheek. Her lips are familiar feeling, with a gentle warmness behind them.

Your blushies are getting bigger.

You quickly take a step back from THAT whole situation to focus on the little device in your hand. It feels sorta like...an earpiece you'd wear if you had a phone. You casually clip it onto your right ear.

It fits perfectly.

>>880792

Punctuations? Well, that's kinda tricky. So...punctuations are kinda like these little processes of info that you can send from one person to another. It's almost like instant messaging, except that instead of a device it's sorta...inside your head?

Certain punctuations can only do certain messages though. Question Marks are questions, periods are statements, exclamation marks are exclamations. Those are kind of the basics.

They're useful when you don't have a phone.

Zac: "Okay so, all you're gonna wanna do is close your eye and just process the ideas in your heads. I made the spectral work in kind of an organic process so it might take a few tries to get used to how to actually work it."

You listen to Zac and slowly let yourself rest. Your eye begins to close of it's own accord, and you can swear you hear the Spectral making a light beeping noise.

Everything is very light right now.

Looks like it worked. Now, she told you that while you can *see* and *feel* things in this other Spectral, you're still in your original one. So uh, try not to wander around too much? Wouldn't want to walk into traffic or bump into someone in the real world.

Just kinda scope out what you can while standing in place. Or if you can remember the layout of the area you're really standing in, you can walk around a little.

Can you still communicate with Zac? Like, can you hear what's going on in your original world while viewing this one?

This your first time experiencing a non-blue color ever? Try not to have your mind blown too hard. Sit down and cradle your head between your knees if you feel faint, and wait for it to pass as you recover from the shock.

Wait, do we need to use punctuation to talk to her? If so, we need to be economic with how we structure it, like people were back in the days of pay-per-word telegrams. What’s our current inventory on punctuation? (Then again, we can probably just say stuff out loud, and she’ll hear it. These are probably for “talking” at people in this spectrum, and I was being too dumb to interpret it that way.)

>>881066

Yeah. Yeah this is the first time you've seen something like this for sure. You don't even wanna move from this spot if you wanted to. It's so crazy.

Zac: "Zen? Zen are you there? Can you hear me? Buddy what's even happening over there? You're just sorta smiling like a dope."

Zen: "Everything is so...yellow."

Zac: "...What the fuck is yellow?"

It seems that you can just talk out loud, and Zac can hear you, though you can only hear her through the headpiece. Thank god you don't need to use punctuations, those things ain't cheap to replace.

Currently your Punctuation Inventory Is:

-4 QUESTION MARKS

-5 PERIODS

-6 EXCLAMATION MARKS

-6 HEARTS



And by the way, it's not trees out there. It's castles. Castles surrounded with mountains. You think they're called mountains.

You feel a sudden pat on your shoulder, though nothing is there to touch you.

Zac: "Hey dude, if you wanna move than just tell me. You can hold my hand and I'll make sure you don't like, get hit by a car or something. That sound good?"

You agree that's not a bad idea in the slightest.

“Yellow. It’s... It’s a word I just made up for the new range of color I’m seeing. It’s different from blue, that’s for sure. Like if our spectum was mostly all blue, this is mostly all ‘yellow.’ It just sounds right for what I’m seeing. It’s much warmer and... brighter than blue. I’d hesitate to say ‘happier,’ but yeah; brighter in that way. Sorry if I’m not making any sense, it’s pretty hard to describe this... whatever it is. The important part is; I like it. I like it a lot.”

And yeah, let’s have her lead us around a bit. Hopefully we’ll run into someone to listen in on.

Zac: "That's...I wish I could see this. No offense, but I guess I just can't understand? It sounds amazing though. Nothing evil right? No brainwashing monsters or anything? Just, let me know if something's going wrong okay?"

You can hear slight concern in her voice. She always was kind of protective in these kinda situations.

>>881177
>>881184
>>881238
>>881329

Yeah, the way that you're understanding it is that...you can sorta move yourself, but she can't move you. She can take your physical body and put it somewhere else, but that doesn't move you...wherever you are in this spectrum.

However, if you decide to walk around, then your physical body follows suit...probably because of muscle memory?

You decide to clarify, moving out your hand into the air.

Zen: "Hey Zac? You there? I wanna start moving around, but uh...can you hold my hand? I wanna make sure I don't like hit a car or anything."

You hear some snickering on the other end of the headpiece.

Zac: "Ooooo, already getting me to hold your hand after a kiss? What a sly boy you are-"

Zen: "Zac I just wanna not get hit by a bus, this is not the time."

You can almost feel the roll of her eyes, despite there being no sight of her, but you can sense a light sensation on your right hand.

Zac: "Alright, alright! I got a hold of you. I'll make sure you don't do a funny little dance into open traffic. But if I tell you to take the Spectral off, it's an emergency situation alright? Like if you don't do it then you're gonna fall off a bridge or something."

Alright!

Now with assured safety on your side, you're free to explore the area! You decide that the yellow paved road is probably your best bet, and trail yourself down it.

The world is scattered with an endless assortment of sparkling palaces with interesting dome like roofing and shapes, though the streets seem to be completely deserted. The railed walkway eventually opens up to a viewing pavillion, where three particularly beautiful buildings are in full view.

You figure those are your best go to's

Which are you interested in?

a.) The Far left Castle With Three Towers

b.) The skinny but towering skyscraper like castle in the middle

c.) The far right dome shaped palace

>>
No. 881437 ID: b53bd0

let's go to the three towers.

also, maybe you are only on the surface level of this spectrum and you need to be fully synced to see people?

Zac is pretty great. Like, probably top three coolest mad scientist I know of.

Tall towers are important towers, especially when an entire area is covered in castles.
>>
No. 881481 ID: dd19e9

If anything is communal - that is, where people gather - it’ll be the big dome.

Don’t get so caught up in the color that you forget to tell Zac the other details. Say that there’s palaces all over the place in an Arabic(?) style. (Maybe Turkish? Do you have concepts of Arabia and Turkey in your spectrum? Do you have an equivalent culture you can use to describe these buildings?) However, the streets appear to be empty.

You figure that if anyone is gonna be anywhere, the big ol' dome to the right is probably the place. The pathway towards it is just as barren as the one you were just walking on, though you notice that the farther you walk, the farther the ground seems to separate from the path.

Eventually you realize that the palace is indeed surrounded by a great moat that would probably kill you if you fell.

From outside, you can actually hear some kind of speaking from inside. You can't tell what's being said, but it sounds important!

The first thing to greet you would be the ENORMOUS screen filling up what looks like the lobby of a fancy hotel. The face of some pointy eared kid with a crown fills your eyes.

Kid: Well hello there newcomer, and welcome to Palace Gelato! As you know, times have been tense ever since the Octuplets incident, but I welcome you to join the Gelato court and escape the tyrany of your current family ties! We have many amenities here for your relaxation at pleasure needs, including a full spa and tennis court! We also have over 56 flavors of my family's famous Gelato, so what are you waiting for? Come join the sweet side of Royalty!

You immediately want to blow your brains out.

Didn't Zac say that yellows couldn't see you? Does this mean that they can use some weird yellow straw to suck out all your blue and turn you into one of them?
>>
No. 881735 ID: 5f3f48

If you can only perceive this plane by adjusting your eye to see it, and you aren't physically here, how can this person see you?

Also it sounds like you're being asked to take a side in some kind of social, cultural and/or political conflict. Don't.
>>
No. 881761 ID: c0641d

Why do you want to blow your brains out...? Please don’t.

If you’re moving around here, but Zac is helping you stay put in your own spectrum, then it’s safe to say that your body in the yellow spectrum has some kind of physical presence you’re moving around the place, if only a subtle one. Even if no one can see you, you might still show up for, say, some sort of detector connected to a recording. Relay the recorded message and this deduction to Zac; the latter will probably be useful to her research.

As for the nature of the place; this spectrum is likely comprised entirely of rival noble families that are vying for membership. There are only nobles holed up in these palaces (if even that), hence why the streets are empty. Don’t sweat the specific architecture when relaying this all to Zac; “palaces” will do.

The voice in the TV sounds like a flat out car commercial written by the most uppity tourist adviser you've ever met while also discussing the delicious flavor of some crappy beer that only middle aged men drink.

And it's also making you incredibly hungry for icecream.

>>881761

Well...that's a pretty solid idea. Good ideas are keeping you in contact with the rational and not terrible advertisement side of life.


>>881693
>>881695

You are trying your damn hardest to.

This stupid place with the stupid castles that look like anal toys is getting to you, and with no other release you break down and speak into the air.

Zen: "Okay, Zac. I'm in a fucking buttplug castle with a giant TV that keeps trying to sell me admittance into a royal family that advertises ice cream. Please tell me what's going on."

Zac: "...A royal family? Okay that's a new one. Monarchies were eliminated millenia ago."

Zen: "Yeah, so like this is actually the first contact I've had with any life so far in this world. Something has been telling me that there's like, a big noble family rivalry? There's palaces EVERYWHERE. It's almost like there's no one but Royalty living here."

Zac: "That is...fascinating! Seriously, how can an entire world work like that?! This is gonna be great research! The big question though, is how did the tv notice you? There's no physical presence that you have in that world, I don't think...sensors shouldn't be able to grab you."

As if the screen itself was listening in, the video begins to play once more.

Zen: "Oh god it's happening again- wait. Oh wait. It's like, a rerun. Maybe it's on a loop? Like, it just plays all the time?"

Zac: "Whoa, then wouldn't that kinda imply that royalty thing is constant? This is wild. Let me listen in for a bit on this review. I'm gonna use it for my 'Yellow' notes."

Despite your desires, you know you're technically on a research quest for Zac, so in an effort to get her info, you hold your hear as close to the screen as your can reach, hating your life for every minute of it.

Zac: "Okay dude, that should be good! No one should be able to see or hear you without punctuations, so relax about that! Try going deeper into the palace!"


You grumble to yourself and stare angrily at the screen above you which is spewing jabber punctuations left and right. Damn things.

You can see a door just beyond the screen desk in front of you, suggesting a way deeper in.

Eh, take some jabbers, why not. Best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Speaking of, how do hearts and jabbers work? They aren’t exactly in standard use in sentence structure.

If it’s true that you really don’t have a physical presence, then what’s keeping you anchored to your “body” that you physically move around the place. What’s stopping you from going no-clip god-mode on this map, so to speak? Given the experimental nature of this trip, I imagine Zac doesn’t have all the answers, but she definitely knows way more about the tech than we do, so she’s the one best suited to do the speculating on this, barring more direct testing by us.

>>882025
I think due to the fact that literally anyone entering this place is being subjected to the recruitment message, and how annoying that would get for anyone that comes home on a regular basis, I think people just don’t leave the house nowadays. Honestly, I can’t wait to actually meet people, since Zen can likely use punctuation to essentially be the “voice in the head” for some meta miniquests inside the quest. XD

On your way out you snag three of those Jabbers.

...

Okay. You're good now. Let's access what's going on at the moment.

>>882008

...Ew.

>>882148

Okay so like...let's start with the first one? Jabbers and Hearts, well. Punctuations are kind of a loose term, you kinda guess SYMBOLS are a better description. They have a meaning in language, but aren't letters so they count? You don't make the rules on this.

Essentially, Hearts are messages of affection platonic or otherwise. They kinda HAVE to be nice, but some people figured out you can be sarcastic and the system doesn't get it. So they're useful for that as well.

Jabbers are the literal worst type of punctuation ever invented. You don't even really understand what the 'official' use of them is for, you just get a lot of them when you watch car commercials or when someone is trying to sell you a membership card at a grocery store and they're all just a HUGE PAIN.


...aaaaand we're breathing again.

In. Out. In. Out.

Okay.

So for the science shit, you really couldn't answer that. If the magical voices in your head were to ever get in contact with Zac at some point, that might be a question worth asking her.

For now, let's keep looking ahead.

You have three large and rounded doors around you. The ones to your sides say LEFT CORRIDOR and RIGHT CORRIDOR respectively. Directly in front of you says KITCHEN.

What do?

>What do?
Make sure Zac is still with you. You might’ve accidentally left her behind when you were trying to run from the annoying tv!

And then tell her that there’s a door labeled “Kitchen” in front of you and you’re going to go in there.

Make sure you tell her that annoying tv made you incredibly hungry for icecream, so you’re going into the kitchen to see if there is any ice cream in there. Then tell her that you’re going to test and see if you can eat any of the ice cream.....for science.

No, really, it’s for science! We’ve gotta test if you have a physical presence here or not! Because if you do, then that means you have to be careful of any possible dangers that could be here!

.....then again, just opening the door will be enough of a test of your physical presence. You’ll either open it or you’ll just fall through it.

The implication was that I was asking you to ask her, but I realize I could have been more direct in communicating that, so sorry about that. And yeah, I agree with you double checking to make sure Zac didn’t eat your dust back there.

Anyways, I imagine that the doors are labeled “left” and “right” to show that they lead to different branches. They might even loop. Regardless, I say we go for the Kitchen.

Okay, looks like we have a game plan....and the thought of possibly getting ice cream is enticing. Cold sweet delicious desserts always help post-anxiety attack!

Y a y

You also figure that considering the amount of running you just did, you should maybe contact Zac-

Zac: "ARE YOU INSANE?!"

...

OW.

Zac: "What the hell was THAT about?! Do you know that you nearly ran, OFF A BRIDGE?! I had to grab your sweater right before you wet head first into the NIMBUS RIVER."

Zen: "OW! Okay I'm sorry I'm sorry! I know that wasn't a good idea, I just, there was like that advertisement and it was getting in my head and there were so many jabbers and I-"

Zac: "-And you could've just taken the Spectral off, my dude."


Well. Fuck.

Zen: "Ah, well...ah...yeah. I guess you're uh, right...sorry I guess? I'll uh, try to tell you what's going on from now on. I'm standing outside of a kitchen in this castle...kinda smells like...macarons?"

Zac: "Geeze, well...alright...oh wait Macarons? Dude score me some- Oh wait yeah you aren't actually there. Nevermind, just remember if you're gonna freak out, just please take the spectral off."

Zen: "Fair enough, Zac. I'll let you know what's going on from here on out."


You take a look at the door in front of you, thinking about whether or not you can actually touch it. You seem to make some kind of contact with the ground when you walk...however there's no sound of footsteps. You figure that it might be a similar situation with the door?

You reach your hand out to try and push it, but it feels kinda...foggy? Like it's sorta there but sorta not. You focus your mind on the feeling as much as you can, and eventually your palm makes full contact with the wood door...though it sorta feels distant in a way.

The yellow entry way swings open, opening up to the kitchen.

The door opens and you're greeted with the sight of a yellow girl slacking around, chef hat planted on her poofy hair.

She lets out a yawn, before glancing over to see that the door has suddenly been opened by you.

Girl: "Uh...yo? Someone there?"

Just in case the chef can hear you, whisper to Zac, “I’m in the kitchen and I see the chef. She doesn’t see me, but she is confused about how the door opened by itself.”

Move around the chef and when you get a chance, whisper to Zac that you’re gonna try something. When the chef isn’t looking, try to grab some food and attempt to eat it.

Well it's not YOUR fault you're super stressed and had a panic attack.

Anyway, she's not going to chase you around with a knife so... Attempt to say hi? If that doesn't work you can start looking for recipes.

I imagine that we can’t fully communicate unless either A: We find something to write with, or B: We use up some precious punctuation. Let’s hold off on either for now, and calmly ask Zac if we don’t have any physical presence, then how did we just poltergeist it up in here, and why can’t we go no-clip god-mode on the world?

To Zac: Looks like I'm here enough to open doors. The chef noticed that.

Hmm. We might have to spend punctuation to talk, but if we can move objects, that could open the door to setting up communication without them.

You figure that whispering to Zac might not be the worst idea. You certainly have enough shit to ask about.

Zen: "Uh Zac? Can you hear me?"

Zac: "Zen? Yeah I can kinda hear you, but you're like SUPER quiet right now. What's going on are you dying?"

Zen: "No I'm in the kitche- Wait. What do you mean "Am I Dying?" what the fuck kind of question is that?! No, I'm like I'm in the kitchen and there's someone in here. It's some girl with a chef hat on, and she's all yellow."

Zac: "Okay geeze dude sorry! I was just double checking to make sure you were alive, I thought that was what we were doing! Okay so, you're in a kitchen and there's a chef there, that makes sense. You shouldn't have much to deal with, there's no real reason she should be able to see you."

Zen: "Okay yeah but like, I opened a door, Zac. And I'm not sinking through the ground when I walk so there's like, GOTTA be some kind of physical connection with this world right? You gotta have an explanation, you're the science freak."

Zac: "Wow, just full of compliments today aren't you Zen~? Alright, so...you're having some kinda physical connections with this world, right? What did it feel like?"

Zen: "Kinda like...like putting your hand in really thick fog at first? I think my palm might've gone through but I can't tell. It was really hazy. I had to focus on the door to get it to open."

Zac: "Hazy? Foggy? Hm. Okayyyyyy, so what I'm gonna guess is that maybe with these different layers of reality, physical connection is really directed by what you're perception is reading? Like...hm. Basically you're seeing this other world right, so your brain is aware that you're in this new place, but you also know that your body is back home in our Spectrum, so essentially...

Essentially you just gotta put enough focus in the yellow world to have physical actions. People can't perceive you there because they don't have any perception of the blue world, which you're still a part of. Walking has a direct correlation to our Spectrum as well, so I think that might be why you're not sinking. Your body has direct feedback, more or less."



You don't really get it completely, but you're pretty sure what she's saying is that since you're SEEING this yellow spectrum, that's enough to have an influence over it, but since it's not your home spectrum, and you're still connected to your world, it's kind of here and there? It's probably more complicated then that.


Zac: "Anyways, you should be fine. Feel free to try and talk to the girl if you want. I'm pretty sure punctuations would still work fine...since it's all about sending it to people's minds or whatever. If all else fails, you can always just take off the headset dude. Let me know if there's anything else you need."


Well...with Zac's mad scientist blessing that communication won't mean annihilation of the world, then it seems you're gonna try and start off a discussion.

>>882821

We're trying to stat a discussion, not a catcall.


>>882841

Well, that seems pretty straightforward. And you know what calls for straight forward phrases? A period!

You claim a singular PERIOD from your inventory and talk into it.

Zen: "Hello there, I'm Zen."

You then focus on the girl, and when you look down the period is gone.


The yellow girl looks around as if she's hearing things, extending out an arm with a look of annoyed concern on her face.


Girl: "...What? Okay, whoever is doing this needs to cut it the fuck out. I get it, the gelato got some freezer burn on it, I SAID I was sorry! Don't play games with me!"


Welp.

No. 883161 ID: dbf422

Well, to avoid wasting punctuations... Maybe grab a spoon, tap to get her attention, then respond with the standard once for no twice for yes until she gets it.

I'm honestly a little shocked the mind talk didn't work. I guess she gets complaints a lot.

No. 883162 ID: 074011

The way she seems to think some sort of prank is being played on her, I'm thinking this world is no stranger to punctuations. We need to show, not tell, if we're going to convince her of our legit ghostly presence.

Request some yellow gelato from your freaked-out new friend, eat it in front of her to prove you're here and real, and see if it can be passed through you into blu-world. Imagine it, yellow vomit! You could scare doctors half to death!

Uh... unless it does something else to you. Like, turn you into a different colour we'll arbitrarily call Green and make you forever lost in time and palette.

Naaah. That couldn't happen.

I mean you should probably focus on making sure that this all gets settled before you try and eat something that may or may not even sit in your digestive track.

Huh. Not a bad idea. Grabbing something small like a spoon might help...but you should probably let her know what you're doing. Your attention goes to a fairly sized tablespoon on the counter, and reach your hand out to grab it. Again, you feel that fuzzy feeling in your body...sorta like pushing through soap bubbles, but you keep your attention on the utensil and soon it's in your hands.

It feels kinda cold.

You hold it up to the girl and lightly wave it, consuming another Period.

Zen: "Like I said, my name is Zen and I'm the one holding this Spoon."

Girl: "..."

In the time you were processing what just happened, the girl has now pushed herself backward and grabbed whatever you could in some sort of defense mechanism.

It appears to be a teaspoon and a dead fish of some sort.

You are not getting hit by a fucking flounder today.


Girl: "St-Stay back! I'm not afraid to use this stuff! I'll scream! I swear to god I'll scream for the guards to come! I'm sure the guards can take care of invisible ghost monster demons!!!"

The fish is being swung wildly in the air, and you're currently rubbing your face, kneeling on the floor.

THIS IS A LOT GOING ON AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.


Yellow girl is still swinging around the damn fish and Zac heard you yelping.

Zac: "Dude? Dude! Dude what's going on are you okay?"

Girl: "COME ON OUT INVISI-BILL!"


You struggle to say anything at the moment, the influx of context is building up and finally you just spazz the fuck out and spew jargles everywhere.


In that moment, however, the jargles also worked as a way to communicate basically everything you wanted to say at once, though it's pretty much impossible to understand until five seconds into hearing it.

The yellow girl pauses for a bit, looking as if she was listening to a psychopath, until she slowly lowers the fish.

Girl: "Wait...so. Like. You're NOT an evil ghost? You're from another plane of reality. Uh, well. Shit. Not to be like, a dick or anything, but you got a way to prove that statement, Mr. Jabbers?"

Well THAT changed her tune real quick!

Though she seems to want some evidence or way to prove you're from another spectrum and not an evil demon.


ELIPSIES X1 OBTAINED

WHACKS X3 OBTAINED

X'S X5 OBTAINED
