>cut in half but not dead
Double checking but that's not normal here, right? Where you're from that kind of thing tends to kill people. Fast.

>Going back in
Gotta go over counting with her. Make sure she counts at the same speed and agree on when she opens the door again, cause if either of you gets the timing wrong this will kill you.

>>686819
Are you sure you trust her enough to know she won't leave you in there?

If we're agreeing on a time for you to return, then there should be a time set for a second or maybe even a third attempt to bring you back through, after the first one. Also, leave something on the ground in the closet to act as a visual indicator of when the door is open. Then if the timing gets screwed up for whatever reason, you can watch it to be sure when you should stand there.

Nouille, take some cloth pieces and go back in, lay them down near the bases of where you think the walls are. See if they shred when outside of the wall area.

She's cute when she's terrified.

I seriously doubt that she'll do that. Not unless we forced her. Are you seeing how terrified she is right now?

>>686845
>Double checking but that's not normal here, right? Where you're from that kind of thing tends to kill people. Fast.
Is it normal for someone here to survive while cut in half, Nouille?

Non, not at all! Je ne comprends pas comment il est vivant...

>Gotta go over counting with her. Make sure she counts at the same speed and agree on when she opens the door again, cause if either of you gets the timing wrong this will kill you.
Can you remember the word 'mississippi' after you take your hand away?

Oui...

Good. When you hit the door, count down from thirty, and say mississippi every time. Like, thirty mississippi, twenty nine mississippi, got it? Then close the door again.

I'll count in notre nombres but oui, I'll count from votre 'thirty'.

>>686839
>Alright, so how bad of an idea would it be to go in, grab one of them, and then pop back here with them? I mean with them split open like they are I don't know how well it would work but at the same time I'm not really sure what else we can do.

Neither am I, man. If we can't think of anything better then I guess that's what we'll be doing.


>>686849
>Are you sure you trust her enough to know she won't leave you in there?
She's had a spear for ages, if she wanted me dead she could have just shanked me any time. Plus we don't really have much of a choice- someone's gotta go in.

>If we're agreeing on a time for you to return, then there should be a time set for a second or maybe even a third attempt to bring you back through, after the first one.
If I'm not in the closet, open the door, count down from ten and close it again. Keep doing that until I'm back, alright?

Oui.

Alright, well. The intestines are new.

Vos potech- qua? Dey vos?

Urrghfhnngn...

Uh, right. Thirty mississippi, twenty nine mississippi...

I...Don't see the girl's lower half. Hate to say it but we're gonna get another leech-person on the team. Maybe he and Noodle can figure something out between the two of them.

Poke the spear. Is this setup some sort of tripwire?

>>687546
>>687543
that's not a tripwire, it's her intestine. follow it will lead to her legs.

pull the setup apart quickly but carefully so you don't tear anything, grab whoever looks easier to gather up.

Okay, the intestine-fence and pentagram around the apparition point is new. Also, the alien is a lot more blue and a lot less grey than before.

First step is to grab the spear and dissemble the grisly fence, I guess. You'll probably run out of time before you can get either of them, and will have to make a second and third trip to rescue them.

Undoing her gag would mean someone you understand can tell you what's going on, at least.

>>687538
Well that's good, the teleport location is marked for us.

Okay first thing's first, get those intestines out of the way. You'll have to find enough slack or make some to pull them away from the spikes. Careful. If it's remotely possible to put these two back together, you'll have to avoid damaging the intestines. Then we need to know more about this place. Take the tube out of the girl's mouth and ask her how often the torturer comes back (so we know how much time we have), and WHAT their torturer is exactly. Is there a reason for all this?

Secondly does she think it's possible for her to be rescued or even for her to die? Maybe you can stab her in the brain to put her out of her misery?

why is there a hose in her mouth? Anyways I see blue boys "legs" over to the right on a spear, grab him and his "legs" and throw them in the circle... and see if you can't find the girls legs as well because if we throw her in the circle without her guts hanging out she'll lose even more of herself. Also think the guts are being used to mark where people teleport in from.

Oh wait, I bet the only way for them to die would be to teleport them out. Whatever's keeping them alive probably isn't active back in the hotel room.

oh yeah, also remove ball gag/hose

>>687590
Vetoing. Could be life support, could start screaming and attract unwanted attention. If we're gonna do that, we have to communicate the importance of quiet.

>>687592
It's not life support, she didn't have it before. Also look, it leads to a vat. As for the screaming thing we can TELL her not to scream.

Alien's looking different- can't see his rib-cage and he's blue now, but other than that, the positioning hasn't changed. I'm guessing the grey one died and was replaced, but there's an optimism in me that says he could have healed up somehow- they have survived the whole time, haven't they?

The alien is the least tied down, we can extract him first. Don't be afraid to get your clothes dirty. If it goes smoothly, we'll be right back for candy.

>>687538
I dont think we should disturb those intestines, if whoever did this comes back and sees things out of place they might realize that someone is getting into the room and they might even set up a trap. I say we remove the hose and tell her that we dont have much time and that we need to know what happened.

>>687538
I'd say be careful, the hose in her mouth might be to pass something through her mouth and that can only lead to her intestine which you are surrounded by. I'm suspecting some form of trap since it surround the teleporting point.

>>687633
As for the alien being blue now, he was blue in the icon for his text. I think Nobody just spruced things up. Or the alien did get better somehow. Pretty sure it's the same alien.

>>687653
that hose probably should be cut open. use spear.

They're changing them. This isn't just torture, it's a process.
We have no way of determining what or who they're being made into, or whether or not the process is currently ongoing, or if we can stop it by removing them.
This is a fine fuckin pickle we have ourselves right here.
But these people need our help, and damn if we'll leave em.
Be on the watchout for whatever put them here, mate.

Hmmm, her small intestine is stretched arround you in some kind of shoddy pentagram. But where is her lower body?

>>687633
I can't be sure, but I think he recognizes you from before. and in meta knowledge, he has the same icon as before. He's definitely looking a lot better, though... is it possible that they're actually being healed, here?
... well, that's more than a bit unlikely, given the whole pentagram thing.

See if Blue can do the hand trick and tell you anything. I mean you could also get the chick to tell you stuff but you'd have to pull the house first and if it is what's keeping her alive... well.

Right, I'm not going to do that because they're still attached to her. And I'm going to not touch it because A) it could be a tripwire trap of some kind and B) because it's fucking disgusting. Speaking of which I really am starting to wish I'd gone ahead and put my fucking shoes on, goddamn.

>>687710

Her intestines drop down into a little drain in the center of the floor. So, probably down there, somehow.

He looks like the same one to me. Having your insides sewn back up has to put some color back into you, right? He's not looking as bad off as she is, at least.

Twenty six mississippi, twenty five mississippi...

I agree, but how do we help?

...Taking the hose out would probably be the easiest first step. I doubt it's life support since the other end is sitting limply in a tub. Plus she didn't need it last time we were here, right?

Alright- I'm going to pull the tube out. Please don't scream, we don't want whoever did this to you to come back, alright?

Oh fuck--

GUURRKGGN HHRRRRRKK FRRUGHH!!!

Tona...

AAAaaa just leave it oh glob. Knock the other end out of the tub, unless that bring about further emoting.
Slowly ease Mr. Spaghetti's backside off that spear and prepare to release his shackles. Motion that you're going to carry both halves into the pentintestigram.
Mercy killing is looking better and better every second. Only question is, if they're alive now, what *can* kill 'em?

Okay, this is going to take MORE than thirty seconds.

Take the utoth for now, and then tell Nouille that you're going to try a new method; draw a clock. The shaded part is in 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, or 1 minute; she should annotate your drawing so that she remembers. Set the timer to about 5 minutes.

Go back in with a pen and notepad. Throw the other half into the portal. When you're ready to leave, or need more time, draw a set of clocks representing how much more time you need. Place it in the circle with a stick so that you don't get sliced. Nouille will start counting down the moment she opens the door, and then close it when time's up. Her utoth can do the counting if necessary, he's not going anywhere.

Simple. Okay, as for the tube, put it back in and ask Candi if that's life support or formaldehyde. If she starts screaming take it out again.

That stuff is probably some kind of ingredient that is processed through her internal organs, so follow the entrails and yoink her lower body. They'll likely notice the decreasing output in processed material, so get moving.

which way is that blood going?

See, this is why I said to do >>687903 . Well, okay, I wasn't thinking about the harm that could be done by pulling it out, directly, but... still think that's the way to go, see if they have any ideas what to do. Or just helpful informations.

>Simple.
All of what you said is the opposite of simple. Why not just have her keep opening and closing it every thirty seconds? It's a bit more work for her, but so what? It won't kill her to open and close a door. Plus I don't have a pen or paper.

>Okay, as for the tube, put it back in and ask Candi if that's life support or formaldehyde. If she starts screaming take it out again.
I don't think the theme of this place is formaldehyde.

Candi, is that blood?

Mnf- mmnh hmmn!!

Is it some kind of life support?

Hgn ddhn kcknw...

Do you want me to pull it out?

NNNNNnNGG!!

>>687952
> which way is that blood going?
You mean which way it's being pumped? I have no idea. Best guess is, it's from the tub to her body. So it can run the blood through her intestines... for some reason. Could be coming the other way, though.

The problem with that is her intestines lead down a drain. A 6 inch drain. I have no idea how the hell they got her legs down there, or if her legs are even down there at all.

Well that's a bust.

You know, despite how horrid this place is it's pretty undefended, I mean we can tell this place is inhabited, but it's a pity we can't get a clear answer on what's going on.

Time's almost up, grab blue and go!

>>688982
the hose being cut off there is an art error, right?

>>688987
Problem with that is we have no idea if leaving this place might kill him. I think just grab the spear and go, for now. If you have time, you could try to release him, or both of them, from their restraints, but I wouldn't try taking them back yet.
... maybe grab some object, though, see if you even CAN take stuff back.

>Why not just have her keep opening and closing it every thirty seconds?
Well there's the small risk of being bisected if you get the timing wrong. And the longer you've been apart since syncing counting, the more chance any small errors or differences in your counts have to add up.

>what do
If you're leaving, be sure to tell them you'll be right back.

You know, that is true, the place seems kind of deserted. And that gives me an idea... don't get me wrong, I don't particularly want to skulk around a fucking satanist horror gore dungeon. But there is a door right there. And that'd probably be the only way to find the other half of Candi, it's gotta be in a room somewhere.

--panic. Oh, well.

Quey es porteli kos utoth??

Yep, got your spear right here, and half of your guy. Gonna bring back the rest of him, just give me one second.

So. Am I going to try and bring back the other half of her utoth first, or should I explore the place? Should I prepare for it? I've got a first aid kit, but it's partially empty, all it has is gauze, bandages, a small hand splint and rubbing alcohol. I've got my phone, a bungie cord. Plus a bit of food and some stuff to cook it with, clothing... which I could just dump out here instead of lugging around with me, actually. Oh, and that satanist bible. I gotta transform that pile of crap into a way to put those two back together. Or prepare for a trip to find Candi's legs. Also I'm gonna need to set a time limit with Nouille, and trust that she counts down properly. She did a good job last time, I think.

let's go for a full 60 seconds this time, and ask if she has a way to undo cuffs.

Save the guy you can get out immediately, then go exploring. He might know something useful.

Like I said, just find something to write on (not the eldritch bible, that's something you want to put in a locked drawer for use against cultists) and push instructions into the circle with a stick.

For now, get the utoth. I think Nouille should look for Candi's lower body, she has better combat and adventuring abilities.

Take some time to observe what happens to the utoth's lower body when they aren't in the torture room, make sure they don't burst into maggots or something.

>>689958
instructions? what? what instructions would we be putting where?

1.bumping up that timing number would be great, as the time you spent in there was a bit short.
2.maybe have the bandages out, as bringing both part of either Candi or Blue might still kill them, (or use it to tie them together if it doesn't)

>Also I'm gonna need to set a time limit with Nouille, and trust that she counts down properly.
...Wait. Dammit, I can't believe we overlooked this. There's a freakin' clock in this room, over on the nightstand, and it still works, somehow; We saw it tick over earlier. So with a bit of explanation on your part Nouille can time by that instead of counting down. It'll have to be in minute increments, though, unless there's a seconds indicator we couldn't see.

Also, your phone is a smartphone, right? That means it almost certainly has a stopwatch/timer/alarm app which you can use to time your jaunts much more reliably and accurately than counting. Oh, and make sure to set it into airplane mode so it doesn't drain its battery by continually trying to find a cell tower.

>>689948
We should probably have Nouille go in first and ask the blue guy what is going on and how he got into that whole predicament, since we should really try and get the most information before leaping in there and assuming that its deserted. Knowing is half the battle after all.

>>690015
>Knowing is half the battle.
G.I. JOOOOOOE!!!!! XD

Go back for his other half, put sixty seconds on the clock. Keep the spear.

>>690015
she doesn't want to go back.
