It’s because you’re trapped in an endlessly repeating nightmare. Now beat them with your backpack til you’re seeing red.

Can you use Ayta while moving? You could just kite them.

The two creatures are hopping toward me by the time I focus enough, but I cast Ayta on one of them and it explodes into meat chunks and flops over. I've never used this on a living thing before. That's kind of gruesome.

I won't be able to do it again before the other one rushes me.

But the way they move leaves me an opening to exploit and I smash it with the heavy book as hard as I can and it bursts open like an overripe fruit of some kind.

Ugh! Gross!

You look extra cute when you're squishing giant bugs.

Now move on and search for survivors.

Now eat it to unlock new abilities.

Look for a janitor closet on the way to admin. Even just a mop handle or screwdriver would be better than fighting with a book.

Wow, another flawless victory. Time to start checking rooms! There's one door there, peek in.

Well, two doors I guess. Top one first.

None of it's slime got on your correct? Hopefully not acidic

Move forward, peek in any doors for survivors

Have you ever considered starting a mukbang channel?

These doors lead to two more classrooms, which are generally not full of things you can use as a weapon. If I wanted to check a maintenance closet, it would be back near where I started and dangerously close to the outward flow of little gribbly monsters.

It seems a quiet. No overt signs of anything trying to kill me and I'm getting closer to administration. Maybe there's someone there, or at least I can try to call someone for help if there's no monsters eating the phones.

Unless the phones have turned into monsters. Check before you put them up to your face.

>>1099464
Oh we're not at admin yet. Keep going then.

maybe you can use a phone as a flail.

Find a safe closet to rest and call for security.

alright then, continue onward until we reach the admin

Clearly these aren't american classrooms. Carry on.

Everything is eerily quiet and I can pass through to administration without incident and there's phones to try to contact someone.

Right before I can make a call, I hear something. A shuffling noise, like something is under one of the desks. What if it comes after me. I don't want to make any noises if there's a monster around.

>>1099644
Get some distance, then go "psst!" to see if it's another person hiding under the desk.

Who cares? It can already smell your fear.

Here's a trick: ask what color the sky is. If they're right or wrong, at least they're sapient enough to ponder the question. A sapient predator could just mimic the last thing they heard their victims say.

>>1099644
Quickly! Let out your most intimidating Aztec death yell and hop on top of the table for safety!

peek under the desks and look for feet.

Whisper that vaccines cause autism.

Slowly and carefully, I peek around for any signs of anything and after what seem like an eternity of trying to move around without making a sound I can see something.

There's definitely a monster here. I can see its huge, glassy eyes gleaming menacingly under a desk. Whatever it is is bigger than the other things.
What if it sees me!?

>>1099679
Wait!

...I think it's just the local nerd.

>>1099679
Poke it in the eyes as a first strike

Toss something over the desk to make a distracting noise.

Those are glasses. That is a person. Say hello, quietly.

It's glasses. Quietly say hello

You should notice the large section below the head that is reflecting the most light. Stare at it, and back away slowly.

Call it mean names and hide.

Oh, just a person with glasses. I'm saved.

"Hello? Can you help me get out of heeeeeee-"

The figure crawls out from under the desk and that is not a person with glasses at all! It's a horrifying creature with jagged bits all over it!

This seems a little more threatening than the flesh sacks and I don't like this at all.
I don't think I'm going to be able to call for help with this thing in the room.

It's got stubby legs, run away and get some distance so you can blast it!

throw a chair between it and yourself as you run

We've been duped! its smart enough to know to look like the local nerd!

Quick, throw the shair at it, then smash its head in with that PC monitor!

Wheel the chair into it so you can climb over the divider behind you. Then with cover between you blast em. There's a small door over there you can escape into if needed.

Keep the chair between you and it, and try blasting it.

Clearly your friend here has deep interest in electronics and is embarrassed that you caught him in the act.

Assure him that it was too dark under the table and that you didn't see anything. But to further pique his interest, tell him that you saw the latest new iPhone in one of the classrooms down the hallway, in case he's interested to see or do other things with it.

Can you kite it out of the room, then circle around back in and shut (and lock?) the door?

I hurl a chair at it, and by hurl I mean roll, mostly.

And it gets slashed into pieces. I don't know what I expected.

I try to blast it, but I can't concentrate while it's coming toward me and I have to focus on getting away. I'm gonna get cut in half before I can do anything.

Very upsetting.

Run in circles around the tables until it grows tired and slow. Then you can blast it.

Stun it by asking a deep philosophical question, then run around it to the door.

Get height advantage, climb on the desk do if it gets close you can hop the divider. Then you'll have the breathing room to aim a shot.

>>1099810
The danger there, of course, is that we are a feeble academic and it is a muscle beast. The ones growing tired and slow? It is us, most likely. We should probably play to our brainy strengths - using tools and our environment (e.g. doors, electrical hazards, material properties), our smaller form (maybe can fit through tighter spaces), maybe hiding, uhhhh tactics?

>>1099809
Run away. If you can't get enough distance to blast it then leave the room and hope it can't open doors.

Persistence running would be a good idea
Keep throwing objects to tire it out
