You come to your senses after resting for quite a long time. You do not remember coming to where you are currently, but the empty bottle of liquor in your hand, and the other empty bottles surrounding you gives you a hint as to why you do not. You have a headache pretty bad, and the last thing you remember is that you were in a bar in the Capitol City of Mostro Island, Pura Pura Village of the nation, Rainbow Islands.

Rainbow Islands is a series of islands, the largest of which, the seven, are considered the mainlands of the nation. The main population on these islands are of a race called Bubble Touched, which you happen to be. The Bubble Touched are very human, but have traces of dragons in them, displayed in minor physical features such as your tail.

So first coming to first, being that you do not have amnesia, your name is Asali Zakiya, a psychic Bubble Touched. You're a wandering nomad looking for a good time, or at least you were having a good time, as of right now you are pretty lost. But at least you have your natural ability which was...

There are six choices of races in which you could be.
Red: You can generate fire filled bubbles.
Purple: You can tame animals.
Green: You can make status altering candy.
Orange: You can teleport/warp (usually short) distances.
Blue: You can generate water filled bubbles.
Yellow: You can generate electricity filled bubbles.

(This also determines the color of your scales).

Former Sherbert clan, left and joined the Zakiya. Right now your headache and the hangover is preventing you from zipping through space right now, unfortunately.

Awesome, well at least you can use that ability to your advantage as you try to figure get back to your hotel and get your stuff--Damn, does your head hurt bad. It's either the alcohol, or your mind, or both.

Headaches are pretty common with psychics.

Hm, what was your psionic ability exactly?

Telepathy, being able to read another's thoughts and all that jazz.
Usually extremely useful.

But more seriously, telekinesis. Chucking cars and whatnot.

Pyrokenisis! Setting things ablaze is always helpful.

Hypnosys! Make people with weaker minds than you obey your will!

Clairvoyance! Never get snuck up on again!

Oh what fun you can have when you combine teleportation with telekinesis.

Personally, I think telekinesis is sorta less useful if you can, you know, Warp to the thing you want to mess with anyways?

Your Psychic Ability is the manifestation of physical matter with your mind.

Precognition. Don't know if that would be usable in any way, but it could be fun.

I'm going to have to change my vote off of Telekinesis and go with Clairvoyance. Definitely a good match for teleporting.

Yeah, I'd switch mine to Clairvoyance as well. Close enough to what I had in mind in the first place anyways.

>>39368
>>39368
Just quoting to call attention to this point.

And I'd like to go with Telepathy. Clairvoyance is cool and all, but if we need to see things in a different place, we can just be in that place. Telepathy allows us to see others' thoughts. It's an irreplicable advantage.

>>39369
This. A thousand times this.

>>39381
>If you want to see another place, just teleport there.
Have you ever heard of LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP? That is what we are doing here. Teleporting past a door is nice and all, but if you warp right in the middle of a bunch of mobsters, you gon git raped. It'd be nice to take a peak first, no?

>>39399
That's absurdly situational, though, our teleportation is short distance only, and if worst comes to worst, we could warp out.
Telepathy is a better choice than Clairvoyance, but both are better than telekinesis or Pyrokinesis by far.

There you go. Although you are fairly young, you're not very good at either of your abilities so you need to be careful with using them. (Once your head clears at least).

You think to yourself, "Well, time to do something about this, because the liquor's gone." While you drink the last of it.

Yeah, that is your bag. So you pick it up. Since your right arm is unusable and in a sling, which you don't remember why it's in a sling but it hurts to move so it's possible you broke your arm when you were, or before you started drinking.

Having the pack allows you to have up to four items on hand, even accessible in very dangerous situations if needed.

You step aside after sliding the pack up and over your left shoulder and pick the map out of the bottle.

Well, apparently you are on Wormwood Island, which you've never even heard of before. You put the map away for now, it doesn't help you too much yet.

>>39448
Why is the sunlight black.

Search the drawers for anything useful. After that, open dat door and see where it goes.

Ok, so here's the plan.

You're going to get up; rise up out of that bed and strip. Strip so you can get a shower. Shower so you don't smell like piss and whiskey. Then, after you shower, you're gonna find some clean clothes. You're gonna put on these clean clothes. Then you're gonna march back into that bathroom to brush your teeth and piss. Why are you pissing? Because everybody has to piss in the morning.

Then you will wash your hands. We'll know if you aren't washing your hands, because that's sick. You don't want to be a sick person. You don't want to get other people sick. Why? Sick people never get laid.

After that you're goin down to the drugstore. Why the drugstore? Because the drugstore has drugs; that's why. Drugs and booze. If you don't have a drugstore, then find one. If you can't find one then son, you are one damn stupid son of a bitch. Walk down the road and look at the corner to your left.

There's the drugstore.

Boy you're gonna walk into that drugstore and you're gonna say hi to the clerk. Why? It's polite. You young schmucks need to learn what the word polite means. Better yet, you're going to give the clerk the definition of the word 'polite' before you do anything else. After you give the clerk the definition of the word 'polite', you're going to walk down the third aisle from the door. Down at the end of this aisle is the bathroom. I want you to open that door, enter that bathroom, and wash your hands. Again.

Then you're going to clean up that bathroom after yourself, because you're a good person. You will scrub that floor, scrub that sink, and scrub that toilet until it's so clean I can eat my pad thai on it. After you clean the bathroom, THEN you will find the asprin.

Once you find the asprin, you will take the 24 count bottle. You do not need anything larger than the 24 count bottle, and you will WASTE anything larger than the 24 count bottle. After you get the 24 count bottle, you will go to the back of the store and pick out a six back of whatever repugnant bear piss it is that you drink, and you will bring it to the counter.

You will then hand the clerk five dollars. Any more and I will kick your sad, sorry ass straight back to that dank shithole you dared to climb out of this morning, and any less and I will personally come down there and make sure you understand why I told you to give the clerk five dollars. After that, you will let the clerk keep your change, because you don't need that change. Change is for the weak. You don't wanna be weak.

After your purchase is complete, you will thank the clerk for allowing your cheap previously drunken ass to even set foot inside his or her beautiful store. After you're done kissing the clerks ass because that is all you will ever be good for, you will go straight back to your dark and dirty ass cubicle you call a home, and think about how to piece your sorry ass life back together. If you can't think, then ask a friend. If you don't have any friend which you probably don't, then ask the clerk.

After you ask the clerk, you will polish his or her shoes.

>>39448
Why are you see-through?

>>39450

Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt to take a peek outside.
Before you do, check those drawers on the left to maybe find something usable as a weapon - after all, you don't know this place, people might be hostile.
If you don't find such a thing, there are enough bottles on the floor for that matter, boozehead.

You take note of the message on the wall near the bed, and adjust your eyes. The strange blackness in the dark is missing. Maybe you are sobering up.

You step over to the other side of the room, climbing onto the bed to make sure you stay in the light and place the Golden Seal on the wall.

You appear, perfectly on your feet outside of the door, on the porch. You feel drained, and have to wait a while before your warp ability is available once more. There don't seem to be monsters here. There's a toilet, and a chained up trapdoor on the porch. But you can see out into the distance. There's a mine up against the mountain to the west, and a small building to the northwest.

The grass and paths along the small island are pretty boring and empty. To the north and south is the ocean.

Oh dear Gods, you shiver violently and look away from the water. You are deathly afraid of it, and wouldn't dare going towards the sea. There must be a way without it anyway. Science and Magic have progressed after all.

Examine the toilet, also we need to find a way to stop that bleeding there before it gets too serious.

We can examine the sorroundins later, now the priority is find a way to treat that wound. Someone with medical knowledge would be the best choice, but at least let's find something to use as bandages.

Let's head toward the building to the northwest.

Through the chest.

You might have to patch that up yourself.

Priority one, apart from NOT DYING FROM BLEEDING, should probably be to get a portable magical or technological light source.

Going out on a wild guess, the shadowy thing probably doesn't like the light very much - therefore, a portable, magical source of sunlight (or a common flashlight) could be an effective weapon. Or possibly just a deterrent.

But hell, anything's better than getting stabbed in the chest again.

The place itself was ominous, but that vision just encouraged what you were starting to think.

The mine is not much different than it was out in the field. There's nothing, and nobody here.

You see a pile of rubble, the entrance to the mine, a watering hole, and what seems to be a trailer. You shrug with your only working arm to emphasize to yourself how frustrating this is.

Exactly how... durable are we? A normal person would be very much dieing right now with a wound like that.. seems we have 'anime character' toughness. Would be handy to know our limits.

But more on topic..lets check out the trailer before heading into the mine, it might contain something useful.

>>40222
Inspect WATER and TRAILER.
Try not to think about how deadly this WATER could be in large quantities.

Try to pay attention to surroundings and be ready to tele-GTFO at a moment's notice.

Poke rubble with a stick or something in case there's something living in there. If safe enough then search for something useful, like a better weapon. A bottle won't do much against pliable shadows.

You walk around the dying flower and look at the water. You poke your finger in it. It looks crystal clear, and beautiful. Thankfully it isn't deep, and it isn't open water so approaching it is much easier. You're not thirsty however. Your wound seems to have just stopped bleeding. It's still open. It feels like your right arm does.

Searching the rubble could yield nice results.

Of course, using some of that water on the dead flower could prove to be fruitful as well.

As you lift the cloth from underneath the rubble, you drag a uniformed skeleton miner out from underneath. The vibrations continue and you keep pulling. Just to get it all the way out. Your insides tremble. Some of it is the sight of a skeleton, the rest of it is the realization this might be a human. There is a war going on elsewhere in the world. Humans are being murdered relentlessly by robots.

There could be robots nearby. Keeping alert is a good bet. (Being that a lot of robots despise not just humans, but all organic creatures).

Your mind crashes back to the skeleton in your arms. There is a Vibro-Hammer attached to his belt. You take that and push the skeleton as far as you can. It's not very far, but you finally scream about it. The skeleton, and a few things you've been encountering.

It's a defensive mechanism to try and keep your calm, and almost ignore your desire to panic in order to survive. You release everything in your lungs and then fall silent. The echo of your voice returns to you.

With that out of the way, you look back around you. You place the bottle in your pouch and put your new hammer in its place if you need it. Then you examine the skeleton more thoroughly. He has a wallet in his pocket. You swipe the 4 Points he was carrying for your own, and take the Empty Wallet along with you.

You say out loud, "Now what, Asali. Now what?"

>>44965
Scoop some water on the flower, then try the door.

>>44965
I take the Vibro-Hammer if it'd make a good weapon. Anything to give me a sense of control over my surroundings.

I also try giving some water to the plant. Who knows, it might have some magical properties or something.

Fill the bottle with water.

You walk over towards the small barrel looking thing of water and fill your bottle with it. You sprinkle some of the water down on the flower.

In sheer moments the flower begins to rise up off of the ground, and glow a neon shade of blue. The flower blossoms open. You smile and admire the flower for a second...

"Yo, yo, yo, what is this shit, dawg. Wait, huh. Man this is not the party any mo'. Well at least I'm less dead, more chance of a party comin' back right? Righteous." The flower wiggles around in a very supple manner.

"Oh uh, right. Yeah! So there's a couple of them points buried a little over there." The flower points to the dirt, and you dig it up and add the 2 Points to your money pool.

You continue to watch this flower. Which door were you meaning to take, the Mine or the Trailer?

The trailer door seems to have a code or something, also dat face again. Let's try the mine.

You go towards the mine. There is a lock on the door. It is a three number combination lock. You're not going to try and guess a 1/1000 chance. (Well, maybe)...

Hopefully there's a clue somewhere, or you'd spend forever on this.

Let's try the other door, then. Maybe there's a clue there.

Your math is wrong. It's actually a 1/720 chance.

Make a kissy face back at the number dial, maybe it'll open.

>>44982

3 digits, 10 numerals, 10x10x10=1000 combinations

You step across the ground and go up the steps into--upon first glance, seems to have been the Foreman's "office."

What is that faint outline? The chair? Also, there's something behind the cabinet. Check it. Cheeeck iiiiit.

>>44991
Well, looks like we've bumbled into somewhere unwanted again, give a greeting Mr. Ghost behind the counter.

>>44995
Oh wait, that's a chair, disregard that.

Check behind, inside and above the cabinet.

Check the drawers in the desk, check under the desk, and under the chair.

And LOOT EVERYTHING.

Use precognition to see the code you'd use to open the door :3c

There's an x over the eye. That means clairvoyance can't be used right now.

It looks like there is something behind the cabinet, check it out.

Ghost, chair? You don't see either of those, so you check out the cabinet.

You check the cabinets. They're empty. You try to move the cabinet, but with one arm it's really awkward and you're way too weak to move it.

It seems like there's a piece of paper behind the cabinet, try to pull it out.

Also check the desk for drawers, or something under it.

The grey thing from >>44991 seems to be missing, was it a ghost?

Looks like there's something sticking out from behind the cabinet. If it's paper, try pulling it out.

File 125305627521.png - (41.37KB , 777x777 , BBQ032.png )

You peek around at the cabinet and try to pinch at the tiny corner of paper clamped between the metal cabinet and the wall. It won't give way but you damage the paper and make it even harder to take hold of.

You give up and go through the desk, and find a fork and knife in one of the drawers. It smells a little funky but that doesn't bother you.

>>45018
Use the fork to prise the cabinet away from the wall.

There's an upset-looking ghost behind you. Is this normal?

>>45018
Try to remove the drawers from the cabinets, then move it. The majority of the weight in filing cabinets is from the drawers.

Also, you seem to be capable of using Clairvoyance again. But on what....

You take a look at your knife, the wall, the heavy cabinet, and you scowl at the wall with defiance. However, before you do that, you shift all of the cabinet drawers open. Then you use all your might and cunning and tip it over.

As you tip the cabinet over, you turn and face a translucent ghost. You freeze up slightly as the ghost screams in your face.

The ghost looks down at the floor and twiddles his psuedo-hands together.

"D-do y-you b-b-by chance have the t-time?" He blushes softly. He was shy, and seems to be pretty afraid of you.

Tell him it's 5:00.

>>45035
Tell him you don't know, but show him the broken watch and explain about it anyways.

I've got 5:00.

Also, emergency cash? Nice.

You show the ghost the watch you found, and tell him, "The closest thing I can tell you is 5:00, but the watch is broken. I'm sorry, little ghost."

The ghost simply gazes with adoration for the watch for what seems like forever to the ghost. His eyes wide and sparkling. His mouth open, but in the most minuscule way.

He very gently, and with a high pitched voice pipes in, "That's my watch." His voice is but a whisper. "Please?" His little ethereal lip quivering up towards you.

>>45055
Give 'em the watch, not like we have much use for it anyways.

Befriend the ghost! Ghost friend!

I would agree. The watch is broken and there is little use for it.

>>45066
Unless the watch is the key to unlocking its power and it attacks us or something.

Well, if that does happen, we do have a teleport to use.

But how can you say no to that face? You can't.

You decide to give him the watch.

The ghost holds the watch to his face, his tentacle like arms shaking. "I don't have m-much," The ghost plops down onto the desk and he hands you a single Point.

"Ghosts cannot remember too much. This was mine before I died. My name is Bob. Same as the combination to the mine if you need that... (since I have so little money). I'll just sit here and try to remember more."

>>45073
Well, Bid him farewell, ask if he wants to come along if the rest of us want to, otherwise go back to the mine and put in 808.

Ask him how he died. Might be good to take note of it and avoid whatever it is. If it hurts his feelings then offer ghost hugs.

And see if "Emergency Cash" has any significance.

Some information might be a good idea to have first. We should ask, if he remembers.

Promise Bob that you'll help recover his memories. Sidequest rewards rule

Hmm, "my name is bob, same as the combination"? The combination must be 808.

>>45073
>Bob

Hmm. Either 808 or 202?

You leave the ghost to his moping just long enough to take the envelope off of the wall. Inside of the taped up envelope is 2 Points. You step back and set your hand on the desk.

"Bob, do you remember anything else? I'll try to help you if I can."

Bob turns his head, having assumed you left for a little bit. He sounds a little less anxious now.

"Well, I was doing all of the mining by myself because no one came into work, and this dark shadowy figure came up, and smashed my skull in. That's all I can remember beyond being pushed into a pit. I can't remember if I had a family, or anything else."

Maybe if he comes with you into the mine it'll jog his memory. An extra set of eyes couldn't hurt either.

>>45091
My sentiments exactly, let's do that.

You smile and pat the desk, "Come on, Bob. Come with me to the mine, maybe we'll figure out something."

Bob looks at the floor, "A-as long as you stay w-with me."

You both step out of the office.

[ Slight pause, will be back in 20-40 minutes. ]

That means we can't teleport away. We'd leave Bob by himself.

When you get outside, the first thing you notice is that the glowing flower has... left. But there is a piece of paper where it was. Bob seems to have left your side.

Now he's too busy spazzing out over the skeleton in a mining jumpsuit that you found earlier.

Uh oh, that's probably his body.

>>45140
It's probably him.
See if he wants it buried or something when he's done, but check the paper in the meantime.

Well, things are looking up.

>>45145

You finally make it to Bob, and you kneel down and try to set your hand to him. Normally people are unable to talk to ghosts, but for some reason, which may revolve around your being a psychic, you find you can.

You pet his head and ask, "What's wrong?"

"This is me." Bob says, trying to hide in his arms.

>>45170
talk = touch

"Aw that sucks, i'm sorry man."

>>45170
tell him he looks like he was, and still is, cute.

>>45170
Yeah, try and comfort the poor guy.

Apologize for his death for comfort, but note that they should move on..and while we're at it..we..should probably use some of Bob's old and torn clothing to finally deal with that hole in our chest that's no longer bleeding.. I can't imagine that being healthy to still keep it open. Makeshift bandage is better than nothing.

Perhaps mention that you accidentally pulled him out earlier, so he knows it wasn't some random graverobber, then ask if he wants a proper burial? Better than nothing.

Also he might want his wallet back. Are there any pictures in it?

"Bob, as a ghost, one cannot be so surprised if they find their corpse. Cheer up, and take this, this is your wallet." You say.

"O-oh. Well thank you..." Bob squeaks.

"My family." He waits a very long time, and he takes shape of the picture of himself somewhat, even if still translucent and vague. "They are probably waiting for me."

"You should go to them, Bob." You say, doing your very best to mask the discontent in losing your only company.

Bob sheds a final tear as he glows and vanishes into the next plane, ending his existence as a ghost...

With Bob gone, you give a soft sigh. Although he was a friend, that was almost expected. At least Bob was happy, where ever he was now.

With a sense of respect, after tearing apart his uniform for your makeshift bandages, you bury his bones under the ground and out of sight.

You feel incredibly good. There's a slight speckle of some sort of power or energy in your aura. You can feel it. It makes you feel calmer.

The orange strips are ready for your bandages...

You are speechless.

What shall you do now?

>>46964
Does it hurt still? Can I move it? Does it have any strength without muscles?

It still hurts about the same amount, but it is holding together on its own, and moving as an arm should or it would have scattered on the floor.

>>46966
Hmm, I check for any cracks or breaks that might be causing the pain. And also I need to take off my shirt to see how far this bone-ified effect goes. :3

>>46964
and then Asali was a zombie.

>>46967
>>46962
Why, I would say it goes to about the shoulder.

We should probably get our barrings first. There isn't much to do about this new situation but to cover our wounds. After that, we should head into the mine using the combination that Bob told us.

>>46970
But... we should be thorough and check just to make sure. In a world with talking flowers, assume nothing. =P

There's nothing wrong with your bones. You want to take a look at your wound, and to clean your shirt and miniskirt.

You step over to the well, and take off your clothing. You look at the wound, and find nothing there but black stains, just like on your face.

You clean yourself off, and wash your clothes.

Once your clothes are washed, you dry yourself off, and look towards the mine. The gate gives you a small tinge of sadness, as you miss Bob once again.

You close and open your skeletal hand, moving your fingers around. Do you want to keep it like this, or wrap your makeshift bandages around it to hide your condition?... Or just carry on...

I would hide it for now, we can remove the sling anytime we need to use both hands.

Well, walking around with this wouldn't exactly be the best thing socially.. It'd be better to wrap it in the makeshift bandages in a way where we'd still be able to use the limb as needed. At least until we find some clue as to what condition this is.

Hide it. But before doing so, is there any way to test latent abilities our skeletal arm may possess? (Death touch, drain touch, some form of necromancy, etc.)

Also, try hard to clear memory fog, see if that gives us any answers at all. Have we always been this way, did we do something that caused this, or do we not remember anything at all?

You wrap your new bandages around your skeletal arm, and stretch it out. The pain is pretty much gone. Your strength was coming back, not that you were incredibly strong to begin with, but it's a good feeling. You hang your bag around your shoulder and to your bag so it's less awkward to carry. Now you have both arms available.

>>46981
No, this arm being like this is completely new to you. Whatever happened last night when you are drunk must be the reason.

You have no necromancy oriented abilities, or your scales would have turned black. The Styx clan are the only clan who can deal with such dark magic.

Must've been a hell of a drinking binge.

Not only waking up on this island, but with a terrifying skeletal arm as well... does our clan have any sort of bad relationship with the Styx, something that might have made one decide to fuck with our arm - or are we just a raging jackass while drunk?

You definitely have never had any problems with the Styx clan to your recollection. You are also, as you've been told, are a pretty laid back, and flirty drunk.

What lays in front of you is a dark mine.

The mine is pitch dark.

...You can't see a goddamn thing, this is probably not a good idea to go in here. Where should we go instead.. unless you're very confident about exploring everything without any visual references in this darkness. (Which you don't want to do).

Well....it damn sure looks like this way is blocked until you find a light source. The only place we haven't explored is the...'diskownt' place. It's scary, but it's not like you have a lot of choice here.

>>46996
yea I fear you may be eaten by a grue... or glue... I dunno. Back to Diskownt? brave the scares?

>>46999
Perhaps our skeletal arm would serve as an effective scare tactic to ward off the proprietor, should it decide to look at us as a meal.

The fact that it still works normally, that is.
In any case, I'm all for taking the GTFO route. We don't seem to get along with darkness too well.

You exit the mine, and go out of the mine site in order to strut back to the DISKOWNT building. You step up onto the porch, and take out your hammer, just in case. A lot easier to hold with both hands.

You enter the Diskownt building, and are greeted with an empty shop counter, and a sign that says closed. Nobody's here, beyond the random noise now and then from rodent like creatures.

Stand near a wall and listen out for anyone approaching from behind, and ask politely if anyone's there.

Jump over the counter.

If there's a bell, ring it. If not, knock on the counter and yell "I have money."

You approach the counter quietly, and back up against it, "Hello? Is anyone there, I have money!"

After a long moment, you hear a very faint, "Read sign," from deep inside of the building, in the darkness.

RTFS

Read the sign but don't sacrifice your view over the counter as a result!

Say to the darknes: "The sign says FREE MUFFINS PANCAKES INSIDE"

Place the fork 'n' knife gingerly upon the counter.

Put the fork 'n' knife on the counter and yell "There you are. Now, where are my pancakes?"

You take the fork and knife you have in your pouch and slide it onto the counter.

"Already had some silverware! Come and get it?"

You state, sort of confused at this 'store,' so far.

The closed sign slams across the counter, and out of the way, when the clatter of the fork and knife being picked up hits your ears. You back up to see over the counter when a large monster slithers somewhat outside of his counter.

"Thank! Here." The creature drops 1 Point down to Asali with one of his four arms, and he draws his arms back, and smiles nice, wide, and fang-filled.

"You here shop?"

"Sure! What do you have for sale?"

See if you can buy a flashlight. And pancakes.

And ask where do you are, and where is the nearer civilized settlement around.

"Sure, what do you have?" You ask, calming down a bit, and putting your hammer away. It seems you were afraid of this place for nothing... Maybe.

Skraig nods, and he puts his utensils aside, and pulls a piece of paper out, "These what have! Diskownt for you."

He seems excited, even if he has cheap junk. He likes to buy and sell.

"Skraig also want bottle. Stranger have bottle?"

Considering we can give this creep the bottle, we may as well buy everything he has in stock.

Just buy all the buckets you can afford, it'll be awesome.

Definitely buy the pretty light! And maybe the bucket... Buckets are always good to have.

I don't think the cone would fit, though.

...Unless it's part of a drill?

Sell him the bottle and buy everything.

And what about the pancakes?

...ask him why that list is blood-smeared?

You buy everything, which costs 7 Points.

You give Skraig the Bottle, and in exchange he gives you Some Kind of Stick.

This gives you a total of five items, one of them will have to be stored in your pocket dimension.

Items in your pouch can be used at any time, anything in the pocket dimension can only be exchanged when everything is clear. If there's combat, or a time consuming situation, the items here are inaccessible. Which item(s) will you keep on hand?

I'd say leave the invitation and stick in the pocket dimension for now.

Did Skraig say anything about the stick, or does he know anything about it?
If it's significant, we might want to keep it out. If it's just a regular old stick, we may as well stow it until we find a use for it.

If we put that bucket on our head, will it still use up one slot of the active inventory? If not, we shall do so!

Skraig shrugs about the stick, and continues to eat like a gentleman.

>>47042
Thanks Skraig for his assistance and politeness, but indicate we really must be on our way, politely of course.

Get the drill, stick, bucket and light in your active inventory and get the fuck out of there before he gets the idea to take you for dessert. Don't turn your back to him, to be sure.
If he makes some moves, teleport out of the store and make a run for it. You already saw him eating somebody/you in your vision earlier, better not letting it come to that, baby.

Drill stick, light and hammer in active inventory

That hammer is already in the weapon-slot and doesn't seem to use up one inventory-slot.

This could very well be him eating a rat. Just like he is now.

>>47144
Sure, it could be. I would rather not want to find out. He seems to be one messy carnivore, he would eat a cute Bubble Touched, I'm sure.

You thank him politely for his help, and begin to walk out. Skraig speaks up after finishing his meal.

"ONE SEC, uh. Skraig look cakes of pan. Stranger do Skraig favor. Find Skraig big fresh bone."

You agree, reluctantly. Where are you planning to go now?

Lets get that femur we foolishly buried earlier and give it to him. The ghost is gone, so it's not like we're going to get haunted.

>>47199
He said fresh bones. I doubt that's fresh.

>>47203

Let's try anyway. Let's go for the bone.

Yeah, Skraig probably wants the marrow. Those bones aren't fresh.

Hmpf, alright... It's not like I like that stupid bone or anything.

Head toward the mines, using the flashlight to light your path.

With your flashlight, you get a pretty weak, and short traveling light to give you an idea of what's in front of you. You begin walking into the mine...

Shotguns with Hammerhead rounds normally work best in mines. They like to spawn lots of shit right in front of you.

Stay to the edges, and keep an eye out for loot-ables behind crates.

You step along the tracks, looking forward.

This has been the worst hangover ever, and probably the start of something much worse.

"I shouldn't drink anymore," You grumble to yourself, eyes on what the flashlight was revealing to you...
