Well try making conversation while exploring the room, who is she, does she know who you are, does she know how either of you got here. Check the shackle more closely check the sink and see if the mirror has a medicine cabinet behind it, check both the toilet bowl and its tank.

I see a note on the sink, also ask why she's in the bathroom chained in the shower?

Apologize for scaring her with the knife, and ask who she is and why she's chained to the wall the a bathtub. Introduce yourself, if you can.

She says that she dosen't remeber who she is and how she end up cuffed to the wall in the bathtub. She says that her name is probably Becky, because it says so on the small nameplate on her chest. She has no idea who you might be, and if you are happen to be the one who cuffed her up, she would be very thankfull if you would let her go.

You untroduce yourself as fellow amnesiac and apologize for scaring her earlier. You tell her everything you know so far

and offer her a chocolate.

She refuses to take the chocolate... (She doesn't turst you enough right now)

While you search through the varios places in bathroom you find:
small aroma candle and dental floss in the medicine cabinet;
hank of black tape in the compartment under the tub;
cellphone on side of the side of the sink.

>What kind of lock is that on the chain? Do either of your keys work on it?

The lock on her wrist is keyless combination lock with dial on it, the numbers go from 1 to 12... it doesn't look possible to force it open.

Does the new cell phone have a charge? Also this probably nothing but see if one of the sequence of numerals on the welcome card could be a combination for the lock.

Ask if she could check if she has any items in her possession.

Hey, is the empty bottle in our pocket a prescription bottle? Those tend to have numbers on them. Maybe there's one there we can try.

Becky has a nametag? Is is sort of a convention or visitor looking thing, or does it more look like an employee nametag? Is she dressed like she could have worked at the hotel, maybe?

You could ask Becky if she has anything in her pockets.

She does look like somebody who would work at hotel, and yeah plate does look like employee nametag.

You didnt see anything resembling a clock and its hard to tell what time its outside because of the fog.

Tell her we can see she's hiding something and we're going to need to trust each other to get out of here. Ask if she would be more willing to trust us if we let her hold the knife.

You could always try
123
111

She nods in agreement and you proceed with trade.

You lose:
1x Kitchen knife
You obtain:
1x Key with number tag (she says that she already tried to use this numbers and all obvious combinations to no avail.)

Well, I guess we should go back to the room and test our new key to try to find some more clues.

well if there's nothing else in here lets see if we can unlock the cabinet in the other room with the key, or maybe something to charge the phones with.

Tell her well clearly this is a room number and probably the way out the door.

If we can't find the combination, those shackles probably haves screws on them holding it in place, if we can get a screw driver then that'll work quite nicely.
Perhaps even a coin. Not a lot of grip on that and it will take some time. If we find a hard flat thing that can fit in the screws, we should just give it to her since she's got all the time in the world.

A crowbar would also work.

Lets get to finding shit!

Tell her you're going to try and see if this key works on any of the locks in the other room, but you'll be back.

Door on the south is appears to be missing handle and locked...

Does the black handle from the desk in our room fit where the missing handle is? If it does put the corkscrew in the recently vacated inventory space and check further down the hall.

Go back to the room, and leave the empty bottle and the chocolate on the desk.

Get tape.

Use tape to tape the handle onto the door.

As you approach the double doors you hear subtle scratching noises from other side...

Look through the windows?

Peer through windows, with your hands on the double door handles so you can hold them shut if something tries to throw them open.

>>570471
Be prepared for something to jump at the window. That always happens in these kinds of movies.

Ask if he's been trapped here too.

Wave to the stranger, try to introduce yourself if the sound will get through the door. You might want to take a step back though, just in case he tries something crazy.

>>570484
sir I dont know what I might have done but I have a bad case of "I dont know what the shit is going on" right now and would really like to try and get along till I know what is going on.
It's like you WANT the evil horror-monsters that are INEVITABLY gonna come after us to feast on our flesh.

Yikes, try to calm him down quickly. Tell this guy about your amnesia, ask him why he's so mad at you.

Tell him your sorry but you don't know who you are let alone who he is and what you did to upset him.

So... are these doors locked? He seems kind of angry for some reason.

Ask him about Rex, you tried opening the door but it is both locked and missing its handle.

Check the remaining doors should probably get as much exploring done as possible before this Rex character wakes up.

Hmm. Maybe take a look at the electrical panel, without touching anything. What can you see?

>>570492
sigh heavily.
Alright man, whatever you say.
I'm gonna get back to trying to free my roommate.
>Go do that.

>>570497
Check out that Electrical box then.

From what that guy said, whatever happened before you lost your memory, it sounds you're to blame for it. Even if Rex was your name you might want to pick a different one, in case your real one triggers somebody's memory and turns them against you.

Anyway, it's probably not safe to be in the halls much longer if this resident is about to wake up...beat a moderate-speed retreat back to your room. Be quick about it, but test the key on things as you make your way back, starting with those doors. If that key doesn't work on anything, it might be the one you need for your roommate's shackles.

>>570506
We only have two keys, one for our room and the other specifically for the bathroom of our room. The shackles are keyless and need a code only using digits 1-12.

>>570506
Derp, disregard the last part. Forgot that it's a keyless lock.

>>570507
Oh, well crap.

I think we'd better go back and warn Becky about the person in 602. Maybe if we lock the door to the apartment again the 602 guy will just try the double door down the hall instead of breaking into the numbered rooms?

Is the combination lock one where you have several dials, or one you spin a few times? Not like I super expect this to work here, but it is often possible to open multi-dial combination locks by one of two methods: A, apply constant pressure to the opening mechanism, and spin the hardest-to-turn dial until it clicks (or anything else), then the same for the hardest-to-turn of the others, etc. B, push on the opening mechanism and watch the dials to seem which ones wiggle. Depending on the mechanism, dials on the correct number don't wiggle, or not as much.

In any case, consider telling Becky what just happened. Also, if you run out of things to do or check, use the black tape in handling the wires and connecting them up. If you can figure out what it does, first, that'd be nice.

You successfully managed to get a hold of the knife before she was able to harm herself...

>Whoa Becky stop!! Please put the knife away and tell us what's wrong.

She replied that after the lights went out she heard the noises coming through the south wall, she got scared, and was desperate to get out... so she tried to cut her hand off... she admits in retrospect it was a really dumb idea... but for some reason, at the time, it kinda felt... right.

Apologize for the lights going off for a minute- you found an electrical panel and had to throw a switch to patch a wire. Nothing terrible happened, it was just a switch.

But please, she's only been stuck a little while. Give me longer to find the combination, or something to break you free with. We're not so desperate yet that she should be cutting herself free.

...and if we were that desperate, you'd really need a tourniquet unless she wants to bleed to death.

You found several locked doors in a hallway. Most look like they lead to other hotel rooms and need a key. The two at the ends of the hall look like they might need a keycard or something.

Ask Becky if she can describe the sound while listening to the wall to see if you can hear anything. Would the south wall be the one separating us from room 603? Perhaps messing with the lights disturbed someone in there and we should try knocking on their door.

(did we try the two other doors in the end of the hallway before things were retconned? There's nothing there about it, but I assume we tried.)

Go ahead and knock on the door to room 603. Take the knife from Becky though and give her the chocolate(if she'll let you). Pick up the wine opener on the way to 603, maybe the cork has something written on it. Wait, we never tried feeling if the pillow had anything inside it, right? Try that? (basically trying anything)

>>570648
We could always shred up the cloth from the pillow for a tourniquet if we do wind up having to perform some emergency amputations.

>>570647
Okay, can we please take a closer look at the screws that hold the shackles to the wall? We might actually be able to use the knife as a screw driver. A real close up? I want to know what type of screw driver it might require, because depending on the screw we can use other things besides a screw driver.

Actually, you could also theoretically angle some of your teeth in just the right way to make an emergency screw driver. BITE DOWN AND SPIN YOUR HEAD!

You know, Spikey haired guy, we could also just test your brute strength and and try and tear it off the wall. We could also potentially just remove or break a finger to get her free, no need to remove the whole hand. She just needs to fit her hand through the shackle.

>>570694
We already did, reread >>570438 the last line indicates that it does not look possible to force the lock so I assume the combination is the only way to open it. Also using your teeth to loosen a screw that is even remotely secure is just a good way to lose all your teeth without getting the screw out and a knife wouldn't be any better since those are usually thin to penetrate easier and would just snap if we twisted it against metal.

>>570711
We he didn't actually try getting it open, he just said it didn't look possible.
I mean, what if our character has freakish strength?

You attempt to force the lock open...
You are not strong enough to pull this off, you cant see any screws to unscrew ether.
Only thing you can think of is to use a crowbar or something like that to froce it open, or smash part of the wall all together.

You take a moment to catch your breath while asking Becky about the sound from the wall.
Becky say it was some kind of crackling sound and began as the lights went out and stoped as it came back.

All right! Those probably open the doors at the end of the hall.

Read the cards. Are they labeled in any way?

Stick your head in and tell Becky you're going to see if you can find something to get her out. You'll be back as quick as you can.

Let's try the electronically locked door closest to our room first. After letting Becky know.

Oh, you should probably give the second cellphone to Becky, since it's probably hers.

You exit the building to the fire escape...

First thing that gets you attention is absence of wind... second is thick fog that for some reason makes you feel really uneasy...

>>570879
The ladder down is busted. See if you can get a better look down there. Then go up.

Personally I'm against going up the ladder, but if you do then be very careful. In a place so already weird as this I wouldn't put it past the fog to do something dangerous.

Also, would you mind either tucking that shirt in or pulling it out? Preferably in, less things to get caught on your surroundings at inopportune times and all that.

Well I guess if there were wind the fog would disperse or at least not be so thick. If we're going upstairs we should make it quick and spend as little time in the fog as possible.

Lets avoid sticking in the fog for now. Last time somebody was left in an unlit area (Fog would block out a good deal of the light), they heard something spooky. Being outside when the sound comes may be a bad idea.

Go try the double doors, instead. The light on them turned green when you fixed the wire, so they should be unlocked.

So I guess there was nothing written on the cards?

Peer down before going up. Can you see the ground? Guess what floor you're on? (Well, 6, if we can trust the room numbers).

You can't see anybody through the window its too dark...

>>570996
The silhouette is gone now anyway.

Don't go into the dark room. Keep going up. Check out what that thing is attached to the next floor. A flag maybe?

If things seem any weirder when you climb further, just turn around and get back to your room. Becky's counting on you for survival just as much as you are, the last thing you need is to get separated from her for a long period of time because things decided to go horror movie on you for climbing too far.

Before you head in there, you'll probably want a light source. Just how large is the Aroma candle, would it be possible to carry it with you if it was lit, or would you need something to carry it in? Regardless, I'd recommend knocking on the door and asking if anybody's there. It's dark in there, and if somebody is there, they might get scared if you just rush in.

Also, did we ever actually try to enter rooms 603 and 604?

The door is jammed.

climb up, but not all the way, just poke your head out and look around.

Right, I'm really not liking this now.... If you're really going to go against all bad feelings and keep going up, at least get Becky on the phone first. That way you can at least pretend that you're not climbing up the side of a building in an abnormal fog seeing increasingly abnormal things completely by yourself.

On an unrelated note, don't think I haven't seen that tucked in shirt. Looking snazzy, man.

Guess we got to keep going.

We need to find a charger first, both cell batteries are dead still.

>>571060
Um... let's go back down and try the door to the dark room. Opening the door should let some light into the room at least.

>>571068
Actually, I was thinking that you could use the Aroma candle, possibly sticking it into the plastic container if it's too small, and then use the corkscrew on the metal of the fire escape to make some sparks to light it--and if that's not enough, you could even ignite a bit of the greeting card (try not to burn the numbers, though) to light the candle with an actual flame.

...Heck, you don't even need the plan to be so convoluted, you could actually potentially use the spliced wire to start a fire, though then it's a matter of how long the candle can burn for.

Or trying to loudly talk in front of all intact but blocked doors to make anyone behind open it from the inside...

Examine the windows, and then be very careful going up the ladder. Take the tiniest peek from on the rungs, and if you even think you see something or someone either outside or in the window just get out of there. I think you've ignored enough warning signs for one expedition at the moment.

I guess shank him again unless anyone else has ideas?

Think you can recognize when that is gonnna happen again? I don't think we can take many more of them.

Indeed, but then put up that cardboard between yourself and it like a shield since it's probably going to be ready to attack again after that!

...immobilize it with electrical tape! And stab it!

I wonder the static noise at >>571191, is that coming from the creature or is that from the boom box we were messing with. Is the boom box still on? If it is we may want to try turning it off, considering we're at heavy damage and it's at medium damage after two attacks each I doubt continuing to attack will help anything.

>>571215
>Think you can recognize when that is gonnna happen again?
Given that there was a crackling static when it happened ala Silent Hill I think we just need to bring the boombox with us. There was probably one in 603, since Becky mentioned she heard static coming from that direction.

Unless praying somehow works, I say stick with stabbins and shankins. And I highly doubt praying will work since it's a falling angel.

Run towards it, cut it, then keep moving past it and down the ladder.

Quick, while it's close use the new aerodynamics caused by tucking in your shirt to juke the ghost, grab the boombox and begin escaping down the ladders!

Actually, the new becky doesn't have blood on her while this mess looks like making much mess around itself... My guess is, something appeared, mutilated becky-old and went through the bloody door here... The saw isn't wuite fitting, though...
If it has been used on becky-old's neck, the whole blade should be bloodied. if it has been used by becky-new to fend of anything, she should have blood on herself, too... and the blade again should have more stains...

Let's hear an explanation^^

Well I suppose as horrifically traumatic as this all is, she had to live through it, so let's let her try to explain before we flip the fuck out.
But I sense much rustling of jimmies in the near future.

Move into the other room, and ask, simply, what happened, and if that doesn't answer it, why does she not have a right hand.

>>571483
That bloodstain almost looks like the monster we just fought, weird! Main Character, do you agree?

Turn around and look at the not-dead Becky. By any chance, is her nametag now written backwards? (One reason she might be missing the wrong hand is if she's a reflection- she came out of the mirror and attacked herself, say).

...ask Becky to tell you what happened the first and last time you met her. Because you want to be sure she's her, and not some scary shafeshifter that murdered her and is now trying to pretend.

Then ask her to explain what the hell happened since you left the room.

>>571486
Window. The curtains look like they were knocked off by whatever left that blood stain there.
>>571490
I... don't see the connection between the monster and the bloodstain. Maybe I'm just being oblivious, or maybe you're stretching things a little too far.

Note for the future: Next time we locate somebody chained into a room, make sure we lock that room's door (since all the rooms seem to be locked to start with) to prevent anybody else from getting in.

You walk out of the bathroom.
And take a moment to regain your composure.
"Becky" starts her story...

First of all she introduces herself as Rebecca Hartmann and explains that the body in the bathroom is also belongs to Rebecca Hartmann...
She tells you about being druged and expiriencing a temporary memory loss, about how she been putting pieces together for a past few days. She dont recall the moment she was druged, afterwards she just woke up locked up in a room 601, this very room, the very same way as dead Rebecca chained to a wall.
She informs you that it all started a week ago (thou she is not sure how much time have passed exactly).
After this unnatural fog eneveloped the area people started to disappear from their rooms, hotel guest started reporting sighting creatures in empty rooms, phonelines as well as main power grid were cut off.
Thanks to the hotel own generator there is still electricity in the building.

>What happend to your arm?

She shows you a clean stub...
Unlucky encounter with -Repo Man-, she tells you to be carefull on 7th floor.
Becky takes a pause... any more questions? (You should be able to figure our the rest yourself)

So, if I'm understanding this she is from some kind of alternate universe where she didn't wake up stuck in a tub. Did she ever meet another version of us exploring the hotel?

...you weren't locked in this room when I woke up here. There was just the Becky in the bathroom.

How did you get out, how did you get back in, and what killed the other you? A monster?

How are there two of you? Is there a second me? How do you remember me if she's the one who was here when I was, and she's dead while you left the room earlier?

Why did the hacksaw have blood on it?

hugs

So she killed the other her, why?

Well, then, the hacksaw must have been used to cut something other than her, new her, or anybody still alive. Might have gotten bloodied from being at the edge of a blood pool, too.

... Actually, no, wait. Take a look >>571452 The blood is on the table, the saw is simply sitting on top of it. Likely, there was blood spilled onto the table before the saw was set down.
-Repo Man- is on floor 7, but there was some static coming from room 603. I wonder if something busted out... You hadn't checked the other end of the hallway after returning, after all. Speaking of New Becky (by the way, I'm switching who's which, since living Becky claims to be the first one), you might still want to go in and try the code on the lock. Aside from unlocking the shackles, it might do something else. If nothing else, inspecting the bottom of the bathtub might yield something. But only if you can regain your composure, of course.

so does that mean there's another me running around some where... Also any idea how tub Becky died. Oh and uh, I know this might be kinda pointless now but those numbers we found on the roof, did they unlock Becky's restraints? I'm also finding it odd how Becky said that one time we found her trying to cut off her hand saying it felt natural and this "Becky" is missing a hand.

>So, if I'm understanding this she is from some kind of alternate universe...

Yes

>...where she didn't wake up stuck in a tub.

and no she did wake up stuck in a bathtub. Apparently common rules of reality became less strict.

Did she ever meet another version of us exploring the hotel?

Yes she did saw you... well rather what was left of you... (apparently the other version of you was less fortunate)... she found your body locked in -that- closet.

>...you weren't locked in this room when I woke up here.

No she wasn't... right now this room is amalgamation of two separate reality. Thats how she got here... with help of a "friend".

>How do you remember me?

She dont know who you are...

>what killed the other you? A monster?

She says that she dont know, could have been anything, this place is not exactly what you call "safe"... "phantasm's" are everywhere. In a state this world's Becky was in she had no chance to defend herself.

>Why did the hacksaw have blood on it?

She guess something was cut with it... obiously.

>hugs

She declines hug attempt... she doesnt even know your name...

Alright so reality has gone out the window and we're still stuck in square one which is we still don't have a damn clue to what the hell is going on. So, wait, if she's from another universe how the hell did she get here? The fuck? can we travel to different universes? Is that something we're going to have to do to get around puzzles?

>>571692
She doesn't know our name, well that makes two of us. So what details of what's going on has she pieced together?

...so then, she died because I left her there, defenseless. I didn't find a way to release her in time. Even if there's another you, it's my fault she died alone and afraid.

Wait, if you don't know me, and you only saw my body in the other dimension, why did you stop and try to explain this to me at all?

We should also probably tell her about the angel thing we encountered on the roof, see if she knows anything about it.

>So, wait, if she's from another universe how the hell did she get here?

She says it was done with help of resident of the room 602 - Dr. Strauss

He used the power of his Phantasm to shift planes of reality allowing Becky to slip through, multiple times.

>Is that something we're going to have to do to get around puzzles?

I hope not... story is already became way too convoluted...

>She doesn't know our name, well that makes two of us. So what details of what's going on has she pieced together?

With all she managed to find out until now, she knows that fog is somehow connected to one of the hotel guests... she still havent figure out who exactly thou.

So if we manage to find this guest... we may learn true nature of the fog.

But still a lot of thing is just speculation on Becky's part...

A lot of things still unclear.

>Wait, if you don't know me, and you only saw my body in the other dimension, why did you stop and try to explain this to me at all?

Well because its felt like right thing to do...

>We should also probably tell her about the angel thing we encountered on the roof, see if she knows anything about it.

Dr.Strauss called them "phantasm's" they somehow connected to the fog. There is quite many of them inside the hotel... you are lucky to have encounterd only one so far.

Some of them fairly harmless, but others (she glipses at her right hand) can be serious threat.

>the power of his Phantasm
...so people can tame or control these things?

>shifted multiple times
Dumb question, but what's the advantage of jumping realities? I mean, if we're all still trapped here and with monstrous phantasms in all the ones you've been to?

>what do
So... now what? I was looking for some way to get the other you free, but that's kind of a moot point, now.

so how many times have you switch universes and though out all of them are there any people who have been a problem through out all of them and I guess same question with the phantasms since you said some were more or less harmless and some that seem to be more dangerous then others.

Oh and why did you come to this room of all places?

Something like that...
Originaly they exist on plane of thoughts, etherial and shapeless.
Fog draws them out of this plane of throughts into out world.
Dr.Strauss found out that we can summon phantasm ourself binding them to our will and giving them shape.
Not everybody can do it thou...

>So... now what?

Its up to you... Becky will continue to search for the reason behind all this madness.
You are free to not follow her and pursue your own goals.

>what's the advantage of jumping realities?

She can speak to you for once...

>Oh and why did you come to this room of all places?

Doc figured it out...
In each reality there are 12 people the hotel some are alive and some are dead... exept this one... a number of guests in this world is 13...
In each world i sliped into there was a hotel reseption book at the first floors so one like it must be here too.

>Becky will continue to search for the reason behind all this madness.
I suppose you don't have a better goal.

>find receptionist's book
So you know how many people are here already, even without having found the book?

Can she tell us the names of all 12 guests from every other dimension so we'll know if we encounter this mysterious 13th guest and be able to let her know? Also could she briefly explain how one summons a Phantasm, it sounds like it could be useful?

ask if there is a method to summoning them. perhaps we have one.

Room 602, huh? That's the room without a handle... We'll want to find a way into there at some point, the Doctor will likely be of great help.

For now, ask if Becky would be alright with you tagging along, it will definitely help to have an ally, the only potential problem is you slowing her down. Also, if she does know a way to summon the phantasms, learning whether or not you can summon them is important, you don't want to be stuck battling for your own life.

Oh! The radio's static, ask her about that. Does that signify a "living" phantasm being nearby?

You just do...

>Can she tell us the names of all 12 guests from every other dimension so we'll know if we encounter this mysterious 13th guest and be able to let her know?

The problem with that is set of persons change in each world so without hotel entry register we can't tell for sure who it is...

>Oh! The radio's static, ask her about that. Does that signify a "living" phantasm being nearby?

Nah its just dumb... there is simply no radio signals of any kind...

>For now, ask if Becky would be alright with you tagging along, it will definitely help to have an ally, the only potential problem is you slowing her down.

She says its ok... it a less likely for you to end up dead that way...

How does she know there are 13 people here without having seen the hotel entry register?

>You just do...
Oh! She has one already. What does he do? How did they meet, slash how did she come to befriend or control him?

>it a less likely for you to end up dead that way...
Cheery. Still, I suppose we've already seen how easily people can die here.

give it a try, just go HRNNNNNNGH and try to make something happen

>>571783
Try the combination on the lock before we go.

Out of curiosity about dimension differences, how did she get out of the shackle in her dimension?

Jesus lady warn a guy next time, I just woke up less then an hour ago.

But yeah try the combo on dead Becky's wrist to see if it was the right one or not. least we could do.

Still wondering where the blood in the room came from as well.

Alright, Spikes, here's what to do. Close your eyes, concentrate, think of one solid trait in the form of a body. Take a deep breath, then as you exhale, open your eyes and push the image out into the real world. ...If that doesn't work, you probably can't do it, because frankly I don't know any other methods to try, and you really shouldn't waste time trying a hundred different methods anyways.

>>571791
It's possible that, while she was in the bathtub, she wasn't shackled. Stabs was in the bedroom in this dimension, alive but on the floor. In this Becky's dimension, he was dead, locked in the closet. The exact position of the persons probably changes per dimension, just not the rooms they're in for the most part. At least, that's my guess.

Once more you return to the bathroom and try the code on "Becky's" lock...

It opens...

Can you wrap "Becky's" body in the bed sheet or would it be too much for you? Just seems somehow wrong to leave her body like that in the tub.

Also you should think up a name for yourself to use until you remember your real one.
For some reason i think "Spike" would be a fitting name.

can you wrap her in the shower curtain or something? I mean she doesn't deserve to just set in the tub to rot but it's not like we can bury her right now. The least we could do is cover her up.

You wrap Becky's body in a shower curtain... this much is the only way you can pay respect to her right now...

So Rebecca knows more about what's going on so far, give her a brief run through of what we've done so far and see what she thinks we need to do next.

All right. Time to get practical now. Discus geography with Becky. I assume the entry register is in the lobby or something on the first floor?

The fire escape on this floor goes up, but not down. If there's a staircase leading down from this floor, it's on the other side of the door at the end of the hall you haven't found a keycard for.

From the fire escape, the seventh floor is dark, the eighth floor door is sealed with black foam and it's foggy inside, 9th floor is dark and the door is jammed with a crowbar, and then there's the roof.

From having explored alternate versions of this hotel, does she have an idea where we should start in order to get down to that entry register?

so that thing she can summon to scare the crap out of people, can it brake down doors?

Keep the lock. A lock with a combination you know is a useful thing to have.
Also, ask for brief descriptions of what people she has met so far, so we can tell if we see someone unfamiliar lurking about.

>>571783
>Oh! The radio's static, ask her about that. Does that signify a "living" phantasm being nearby?
>Nah its just dumb... there is simply no radio signals of any kind...
Well, did your radio continue to emit static while you retreated down to the room, or did it stop? If it did stop, did it start again when she summoned her phantasm?

If it's kept going, then the boombox is probably useless, but if it stopped, whether it continued or not, keep it. Especially if it didn't start up again when she summoned her phantasm, that would imply it will "turn on" again when there's a loose or evil phantasm.
>>571804
It's faint, but... Something in a mask. Reminds me of a ninja. Code of honor, a hand bound behind its back, another infront of the torso. Mind and heart? But yeah, don't force it. Every now and then you can "ask" internally for it to reveal itself, if it doesn't, then carry on, if it does, then wow you just summoned a phantasm.
>>571826
Yes, inform her of the known geography, and mention the Falling Angel, with "hands" for wings. Is it a phantasm she's seen before?Was the dark guy with the hat a bonus for the audience, or is Spike supposed to know about him?

She informs you that right now our objectives are as follows:
1) locate and obtain the hotel registry book
2) get access to room of Dr.Strauss (602)
3) find a 13th guest

[If you are willing to follow Becky, you'll to lead the way... as being from another world her influence to this one must be brought to a minimum.]

>All right. Time to get practical now. Discus geography with Becky.

Thou she traveled in many different worlds her movements around hotel where really restricted in each of them... as of now you have visited more places in hotel than her... and all the knowlege of the hotel layout she might had dont hold any water here...

>I assume the entry register is in the lobby or something on the first floor?

It must be there... (if it wasn't moved)

>The fire escape on this floor goes up, but not down. If there's a staircase leading down from this floor, it's on the other side of the door at the end of the hall you haven't found a keycard for.

You dont need a key card for it... because the door was unlocked when you turned the lights on... it was jammed with something from other side.

>From having explored alternate versions of this hotel, does she have an idea where we should start in order to get down to that entry register?

She has none... exept the advice to not use the elevators...

>so that thing she can summon to scare the crap out of people, can it brake down doors?

She explains that her Phantasm isnt of battle type and will not be of any help in a fight... its form mostly ethereal. She chooses to conseal its ability for now...

>Keep the lock. A lock with a combination you know is a useful thing to have.

You put the lock in your pocket

>Also, ask for brief descriptions of what people she has met so far, so we can tell if we see someone unfamiliar lurking about.

So far the only alive people she met was:
you, dr. Strauss, one more Becky she met in another world, janitor mr. Sanchez (its not much because her movements where mostly confined to 6th and 7th floor).

>Well, did your radio continue to emit static while you retreated down to the room, or did it stop?

It got quiet as soon as you got down to a 8th floor and it was ever sence.

>Was the dark guy with the hat a bonus for the audience, or is Spike supposed to know about him?

Yes you dont saw him...

[now to decide the course of action and please suggest only ONE thing, DONT go and list every existing possibility]

>the advice to not use the elevators
Well, yeah. Elevators are always death traps.

>what now
Ask Becky if she has a light. If she does, we could explore one of the two dark floors.

If she doesn't, I think the first thing to do would be to check the jammed door on this floor. Maybe it's been unjammed, or you can force it with two people.

Go knock on Dr.Strauss (602) room, maybe he is inside and you can get him to come out.

>>571910
That might work. In fact, if Becky knows him from other dimensions, she might be able to say something that would get him to trust enough to open the door.

You and Becky go to the room 602...
You knock on the door and called out for a Dr.Strauss...

Nobody answers...

Becky informs you that Dr.Strauss is quadriplegic and can't move on his own... so if even he was there, he wouldn't be able to just open the door.

>Ask Becky if she has a light.

She says no.

>Becky informs you that Dr.Strauss is quadriplegic and can't move on his own... so if even he was there, he wouldn't be able to just open the door.
So... how'd he get in there, then? How'd he lock himself inside? Does he have a caretaker, or does he use his phantasm to help with stuff like that?

>what do
Let's check the door at the end of the hall. See if it's still jammed, or if the two of you can wiggle or force it open where you couldn't alone.

If that doesn't work, I guess we're going up the fire escape to try another floor.

can send her phantom THROUGH the door to unjam it from the other side, letting us solid people through.

Looks like you'll just have to go into the seventh floor.

You quietly approach the bed...
He is alive and asleep... also he looks rather young...

Becky informs you of his age... he is 14.

He is a doctor at the age of 14?

Anyway you can't nudge him awake since he has no feeling in his body. So you have to wake him up by calling his name louder and louder.

Too bad you can't play music from the boombox, unless there is a cd inside.

We never asked and you never mentioned but, what is he a doctor of? We got in here we may as well wake him up rather than just leave now.

>>571935
>>571939
mmh... in Germany, you would need Gymnasium (13y), bachelor (3y), master(2y) and doctor (~3y), so, as begin usually at around 6y, that would make a doctor at age 27.
There are also some legal problems to skip classes too much...
However, an university can give a "Dr. h. c." , which is also a doctor-title, but given for extraordinary academic/scientific efforts, not for studying there or at any time...

Well, we've learned part of Becky's Phantasm's power, though I'm guessing she'll keep the rest to herself for now... She doesn't trust us enough yet. The Doctor's Phantasm is apparently strong enough to defend him, so I don't think his safety is at risk, but what's he got in the other room? It's probably just a bathroom, but it may have some useful supplies inside it.

>>571925
Thank you ghost-bro, or whatever your name is. (Maybe we could use this tactic on the other jammed doors, too).

Check the bathroom, and make sure there's no people chained inside, or monsters or anything.
