>>964612
That's right. My name is Zachary Glover.
I remember a new millennium party, but I do not remember drinking enough to pass out. But then, who ever does?
12:07... fuck, it must be super late by now, I need to find a way out of here and get home.
Well,actually, if this really was Y2K... I just hope there is a home left to come home to.
Any other details about the night of the party or any other aspect of your life are still unclear.

Time to find a way out of here before I remember I'm claustrophobic or something.

The room you are in is quite small. Possibly somewhere around 10ft by 10ft, but you cannot be exactly certain.
The walls are a pure uniform shade of white, and light fills the room from no apparent source.
There are no furnishings in the room except for a single black paper box in the center of the room.
The box appears to be shoddily taped together.
the box casts an odd shadow.


>What do you want to do?

>>964619
Remove the tape.

>>964619
Now lets tread carefully here. Ever seen the movie Cube directed by Vincenzo Natali? It came out a year and change ago.

Prod and investigate shadow

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

rotate/move the box and see if the shadow moves with it

>>964622
And tread carefully I shall. this place gives me the creeps.

>>964622
>>964626
You pick up the box, and it seems oddly light. Even for a paper box, the weight of it seems much less than you would have expected. Its as if it's not even there.
as you rotate the box, the shadow remains exactly the same. You move the box around but the shadow remains in the same location (it does not change shape, size or location)

>>964619
After much deliberation you decide to remove the tape. As you do so, you are met with a shocking sight.
As you remove the tape, the walls of the room you are in begin to unfold away in the same way that the paper box does.
The shape of the unfolded box matches the shape of the unfolded room, as well as the shape of the shadow.
You are left with enough pieces of tape to hold together a small box, and a mild case of ptsd after witnessing what lies beyond the walls.


I... I don't feel so well. This just isn't right. Where am I?

You have a feeling that looking into this space for very long won't be too good for your health.


What do I want to do?

>>964631
Uh. Hmm.
Well, stop looking at the weird shit. Keep your head down, maybe even closer to the floor, and examine the small box. Are there any markings on the inside of it?

You could also try placing the now-unfolded box on its shadow.

Can you screw with the shadow? Move it around or pick it up or something, maybe stick a piece of tape to it to pull it off the ground if you can't get traction?

Yeah, set the unfolded box into the "shadow".

If that does nothing, pick the box up and turn it sideways. :V

Tweak the box and see if the background stabilizes or destabilizes. Maybe you need the correct origami to proceed.

Try an airplane.

Continue looking.

>>964661
No; no drinking. You just woke up - for shame.

>>964644
An interesting idea. Maybe don't put any creases in your walls before first checking if

works.

Something compels you to continue staring into the violent nothingness. In the swirling madness you think you see something familiar. You remember seeing it/them at the party.

However the image is brief, and quickly fades. The void grows bright and unbearable to look at. You won't be able to look at the void again for a while without hurting yourself.

You quickly turn away from the weird shit, and bring your attention back to the unfolded box in your hands. There are no markings on the paper.

>>964634
Any attempt to move the shadow is met with failure except when when you attempt to pry the shadow with the tape. When doing so, the shadow lifts from the floor but the tape is not quite strong enough and it falls back down. It looks like the tape itself is not enough to manipulate this shadow but it seems you are on the right track.

>>964643
Finally you place the unfolded box on top of its own shadow. The shadow is now gone, absorbed back into the paper.
You decide that taping the box back together might be a good idea.

As you tape the box back together, new walls begin to surround you. The void is no longer visible and you feel calmer.
You are now in a new room, one larger than the one before. There is no light this time save for a small glowing white rectangle on the ceiling. it appears to be a business card of some sort.

>What do you want to do?

Go get the business card

>>964673
You try to jump up to grab the card, but it is way too high up to reach.

>>964670
It looked like a person, but their skin was silver like mercury.

>>964674
Could we slowly start rotating the box so that the rectangle is on the floor?

You saw your sister's former roommate. Weird.

Can we make out anything on the card?

Otherwise,
>>964676
rotating the box (carefully) is a good idea.

>>964672
Try rotating the box to see if it changes the room's orientation. If not, you can unfold the relevant walls to reach the card without unfolding the entire box.

>>964670
You saw someone wearing a fancy dress with a 3d cube pattern on it.

In the void you see the a young woman, her skin ablaze in light

You remember seeing her at the millennium party. Or, you think you did. She disappeared into the crowd before you could get a good look.
Memories of the night of the party are starting to come back to you. You get the sense that if you learn more about this woman, you'll learn more about the situation you are in.

you turn the cube 90 degrees.
The floor beneath you shifts forward, knocking you off balance.
The wall that was behind you is now the floor where you are nursing your bruised ass.


Damn, this thing is really dangerous...

The business card is now within reach.

It's dangerous to rotate the cube without thinking things through.
From now on when you want to rotate the cube, specify the direction you want to rotate it.
When rotating, imagine looking at it from on top, and choose a direction
Turning left, up, right down, will correspond to rotations like this. always in 90 degree increments unless you want to do something special.
up is always the direction of the wall directly in front of the character.
C stands for ceiling

the character does not have this orientation marked for him. he must find a way to keep track of orientation himself

No point in delaying, lets take a close up look at this business card!

Start by looking at that business card. Any other features on the walls or ceiling?

>>964728
Noted.

Let's examine the business card and then our surroundings.

You remember that you once had a roommate that went on to create a construction company.

Using the glow of the card to explore the room, you walk around for a while searching for anything else.
The other walls and ceiling have nothing on them, but on the floor you find a pair of scissors.
You might have almost missed them, had the glow of the card not reflected off the scissors metal surface.


Attached to the scissors is a tag labeled "A-13"

Put the scissors in the box.

Wait, first open the box and cut a door in one of the flaps.

Before doing something drastic like cutting into the cube, see if bending part of the cube does something.
Could also try dropping the card into the box, or putting it in place of one of the sides.

Un-crumple the piece of paper and put it in your wallet. Then Key the box.

I'd say examine the paper first and then maybe the wallet.

First, examine the paper.
Then, open the top of the box and place the paper inside.

This is you.
You remember who you are in general, though much about your family, friends , and why you are here are still unknown.

The wallet also contains a total of $30 (one $20 bill and one $10 bill), a 5$ gift card for some fast food chain, a credit card, and a part of a map.

You guess the map may be part of the directions to the party you went to.

That sounds like an emergency broadcast notice, I'm getting the feeling that our situation is the result of some far larger disaster. Are our keys... car keys? house keys? do we have any idea?

Hmm, it doesn't line up with the other map, unless we flip one piece over and assume the line crosses over to the other side of the paper... but the lighter lines don't match then.
Anything on the other side of either piece of paper?

It sounds like radio chatter to me.. I don't know what that would imply, though. I also thought I heard the phrase "911, thank you for calling" but I couldn't find it again, and also that makes no sense, so maybe I imagined it

Try calling the number on the business card, I guess.

Well alright then, try dropping one of the map fragments into the cube.

Check the battery and the SIM card of the phone.
Part of me wonders if there might be another map fragment stuffed into one of those places.

Try making a small cut in the base of the box with the scissors, preferably on a side where that will not entail killing yourself.

Try putting the map fragment in that has a green dot. That would be the start point, right?

Before that, compare the dimensions of map fragments with the dimensions of the box, since that might give us an idea of the map's orientation.

You compare the size of the map fragments against the cube. They are all roughly the same size as a cube face, but you could not determine an orientation this way.

I wonder if you could apply a map fragment to a face of the cube?

I have a feeling we're on the wrong track here, I'm not sure these maps are relevant yet. I think we should try making a door in the box somehow, maybe hope it functions like a door? It has similar dimensions at least.

I'm guessing that there is a total of six map fragments and that they are meant to be laid down once the box is open.

Let's try putting in the fragment with the green dot first.

If nothing happens we can remove it and try the door idea. >>967175

>>967173
I think the bottom of the top one lines up to the top of the bottom one.

(Theoretically the other ought to line up to at least one available edge as well, if these are meant to match up when it's bound in cube shape - but i can't see the matching edge for it)

>>967411

Put the map pieces that line up on the cube; if that doesn't do anything interesting, try putting in the business card to use as a door.

Maybe... maybe this cube is a direct representation of the room? it's possible that any changes to the cube will result in a change to the room.

You decide to but this notion to the test.
You carefully cut a slot out on one of the cube faces. You borrow a piece of tape from the cube, and tape the business card onto the cube to act like a door.

It really does look quite odd to you. And this "door" feels surprisingly sturdy for something technically made of paper.
You now have a way in and out of the room, but you're not entirely sure if you want to leave. Who knows what could be out there?
