The painting is of a bunch of knotted, black and white stairs. Kinda gaudy, kinda cliche, but the bossman liked it and what the bossman says, goes.

That spider isn't out for blood! On the contrary, it's one of the bossman's beloved pets. But that fucker's huge. I eye it warily.

So. What's my name?

patterson.
bomb the crack in the wall

pooplord mcfartbottom

That's a spider you dumpass

Kris, you are Kris.

Please, you are The Assman. How could you possibly forget that you're The Assman when you had to spend so very long at the DMV to get the custom licence plates?

Patterson is a last name. Kris is a girl's name. And I don't THINK I'm a pooplord, you never know.

Garth has a nice ring to it, though. But I already know my last name.

Garth Mook, at your service.

And yeah, that's a rug. It's kinda frayed and weathered around the edges. Again, bossman likes it, so it stays.

Any more questions about me, my capabilities, and my environment before we switch this show to third person?

Yes.

I'm in the bossman's compound. It's chock full of traps, oddball corridors, and confusing passageways to keep would-be adventurers and protagonists away from treasure and stuff.

As for what I can do... I'm pretty good at using this mace. But it isn't up to me to decide what else I can do in addition to that.

You guys should tell me what else I'm good at. Maybe I have skill in another weapon. Or, maybe I know professional skills. Perhaps there's a little bit of magic tucked away in my fingers. I could also have physical attributes that aren't readily apparent from a cursory glance.

Go ahead. I'll wait a while for you to decide what I can do, and why I'm such a good guardsman for the bossman. Then we can get this shindig going.

well, as for your powers, you have the uncanny knack for hearing helpful advisory spirits from another world. You've also got decentralized sensory input so you can move your point of view away from where your actual eyes are.

Oh, and you can alter the direction and intensity of your own personal gravity.

ALRIGHT

Here's my loadout.

JOURNEYMAN LEVEL MACE-WIELDING
APPRENTICE LEVEL GRAVITY MAGIC
OCCASIONAL MUTATIONS
APPRENTICE LEVEL HORTICULTURE, HERBALISM, AND BOTANY

However, this does imply certain things about my physical attributes:

I have average strength and constitution. Mace wielding made me tough, but all those long hours spent studying magic and picking flowers didn't contribute towards making me any stronger. I haven't had any mutations yet to help in that department, either.

I'm smart because I learned how to manipulate gravity with magic AND how to identify/categorize various herbs and spices. Hammers don't really require that much thinking power, but eh.

I'm not very dexterous, nor am I fast. None of my skills contribute to those particular attributes.

Finally, my SPIRITUALITY is pretty good, mostly due to the stress-relieving characteristics of managing a garden for a healthy portion of my career.

Let's get started, shall we?

This is the ANTECHAMBER of Bossman's compound, and it is about as unimpressive as a person could make a room. A frayed rug has been splayed across the floor, once meant to welcome guests and visitors into the beautiful dwelling. Cracks ascend the rearmost wall behind Garth, their turbulent edges reflected in the spiderwebs that cling to the upper corners of the room. Speaking of spiders, that rapscallion appears to be approaching the gaudy painting for some reason. It stops just short of the frame.

There are two doors. The one on the painting-wall leads further into the compound, the other leads outside.

Garth is a humble guard for the bossman, hired just a few weeks ago. His trusty mace and stool are shown on the screen. He hasn't met any of his coworkers yet. His parents are deceased and his sister lives out in the countryside.

This is his first day on the job.

And he's guarding that damn painting! Ugh. It's kinda high up, too. No way is Garth gonna be able to manipulate that painting til the spider leaves.

And you may be onto something. This is a pretty dingy antechamber. Garth has seen deathbeds more lively than this place. If only the Bossman had some plants and furniture to spruce this place up.

Garth and Bertha believe this to be the most intelligent course of action.

They're here too!

Well. Time for the Raid. Also, they do seem to just want you back at your posts, given their reactions. Perhaps your boss can possess them somehow.

keep running.

>>402217
You guys... you made promises to them. Are you planning to break those promises? That might be unwise.

Initiate telepathy.

While Garth maneuvers for the entryway door, Bertha attempts to communicate with the spiders via telepathy.

Fulfill your promises.

Right now, go together and do the bowl thingy with the water. Ask where the spiders who helped you out want it.

An endless, chittering, broken hissing sound echoes inside of Bertha's mind as she extends her psychic presence. There are spiders everywhere. In the floorboards, in the ceiling, crawling between the wall's insulation...

And they're all hungry.

They want food, now.

Below the infinite, hungry chorus, Bertha can hear the very faint mental voices of other sentient creatures. However, the inky thought-mass of the spider horde drowns out any words or feelings that could otherwise be understood.

Spiders.

Everywhere.

Boss really wasn't looking out for your best interests, huh. Get the fuck out of there. Time to seek new employment.

SPIDAS! run! you should be able to handle a bite or too, you got some basalt in your system too.

Garth, how many can you kill with your gravity magic? Also, can you set something on fire, with or without magic? Kill them with fire. And run like fuck.

Uh tell them you will get that sugarwater or fly attractant or SOMETHING set up right away if they back off.

Don't they have a normal source of food? They can hardly just turn up out of nowhere.

If they insist on trying to eat you, remind them that that isn't very ICE of them. By which I mean shoot them with magic.

Bertha, through a massive mental effort on her part, singles out the one among the teeming thousands that made the deal with her. It is not following the roiling conglomerate of spiders that are currently trying to converge on the two guards' positions.

It pleasantly asks when it will be receiving its flies. Bertha says as soon as she gets out of this particular mess, finds a bowl, and finds some sugar water. He says fine.

He asks what you're going to do about the other several thousand brothers and sisters currently hunting for their flesh.

She says she doesn't know, then asks if this kind of thing was regular with guardspeople in the Bossman's Compound.

He says yes. That's why you're the only two guards.

>>402230

Garth has difficulty killing ANYTHING with gravity magic just yet. He can push or pull things with some effort. Trying something harder might push him to his limits and leave him vulnerable.

Bertha believes she can freeze a number of them, but not the entirety of the swarm. Where did it even come from?

Yeah. Seeking new employment sounds like a good idea.

>>402318
Time to run away, then.

Could the two of you quickly form a barrier to try and stop the spiders following? Garth moves stuff, Bertha freezes it into place?

If it'd take enough effort/concentration as to distract you, never mind.

Just leave. Open that door and run.

Yeah you're at the entrance. Your contract says nothing about getting devoured by spiders. Get the hell outta Dodge!

Your contract *does* say nothing about being devoured by spiders, right? Because if it does, you really should have read it better.

Oh, and also, run.

Yank it closed at range with gravity powers, perhaps.

"I know, I know! Keep running!"

Great call!

Garth is satisfied with the result at first. Spiders clearly don't have the appendages to open doors.

Unfortunately, something massive seems to be pushing up against the portal, struggling to outdo his gravity manipulation.

If he weren't completely sure it wasn't possible, he would have thought that a tsunami of chitin and spinnerets were shoving into the door frame.

"Keep running!" he yells to Bertha, who had paused momentarily to watch the display.

Garth ramps up the GRAVITY JUICE, tapping deep into the adrenal glands and fear that drove him out of his guard post and onto this soft, trimmed grass carpet.

Fear motivates.

Fear drives.

And damn, is Garth driven.

>>402377
Idea: Collapse the whole entrance via gravity. Screw the door, just block it with ROCKS. Possibly squish all the spiders at the same time.

>>402378
I don't think we have enough gravity magic for that.
It would probably be best just to leave.

>>402380
Yeah, all we can do is push/pull things. Bertha could use thermal stress or water erosion, but those take way too long.

In short, best option: Ollies outy, bitches.

What's with the purple stuff?

It is somewhat risky to move injured people, but you might or might not have a horde of spiders trying to tunnel their way out towards you. Can you do a quick psy-scan for that?

Wait, the entrance to the place isn't connected to anywhere else? It's just up on a cliff? How did you get up here?

We're still in deep trouble.

>>402396

If I had to guess, it has something to do with that... Whatever he just did. That was more than impressive. That was absolutely nuts.

>>402401
Hmm. You may have to pick him up and get moving. What he did may cause a landslide. What's that stuff over the edge?

"Here, I'll try to patch you up." I don't know a lot about medicine, but I make a makeshift tourniquet out of my sleeves.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. What hurts?"

"Everything."

There's a big problem, I don't know if Garth saw it.

See, I noticed this when we first got outside and there was only one place to run.

This isn't the place I walked into a couple days ago.

I don't know when. I don't know how.

So would that be the "S.S Miyazaki" or the "Isle De Miyazaki" that they're on?

>>402439

I haven't actually named it yet, but Castles in the Sky, the Feel Good Inc. music video, and Spirited Away were the primary influences in how I designed it.

I would have gone with Isle de Miyazaki out of those two, though.

The last point and click game I played was the Homestuck one. Before that, it was probably Pajama Sam.

Humongous Entertainment taught me about point and clicks as a kid, but I never played Monkey Island or the Island of Doctor Brain.

or Myst.

Reported this thread, next chapter might be today.

Oh no, it's cave story all over again!

>>402521

Yes! I love Cave Story! It completely slipped my mind when I was listing references.

Yeah, now that I think about it, a lot of the overall island scheme is very cave story-y.

next you're gonna find out that garth and bertha are robots also you need to find the polar star oh gosh
