You look like a two-dimensional drawing, to us. What do we appear to be, to you?

And "weird" is a matter of perspective. Speaking of perspective, examine the tesseract resting against the fourth wall. But don't touch it! It might move you in impossible directions, rending your body apart and scattering it across the spacetimes!

Alternatively, go do your usual morning routine, eat your favorite breakfast, and get ready for a rousing day of high-intensity housekeeping. And what makes the hall "out of the ordinary", anyway?

Ok, a few things, from importance: There's a monster in the window but you should be safe, and you're missing your backpack.

Also that door is very powerful, this totally means we can weaponize this.

Don't look now, but there's something looking at you through the window. I think its name might be Xeh Xeh. Maybe you should offer it some of that blueberry jam where the mailbox used to be.

Also, have you looked inside that bag in the center, yet? It's changing its label a lot, so maybe it's some kind of otherworldly cry for attention.

My backpack is definitely missing, which is quite strange; as for the monster in the window- Oh, that's not a monster, that's a shopkeep. His name is Malachite.
In my world, it's a custom for merchants to wear masks like that to ward off "spirits". They also name themselves after minerals.

"Hello, Andrew. What brings you to the hall?"
I'm here to clean it, starting with the furthest segment.
"Humm... sounds like a journey, meet me in the next loop. I may have a few things for you."
Malachite wanders off to the next hall segment, closing the door behind him.

(Also, weaponizing the door would be nigh impossible.)

"You're probably wondering where your backpack went. Well, it's to the right of me! I'll be keeping it so it doesn't burden you. Don't worry, this doesn't mean I'm going to make you pay for what you had previously packed, you can still get those for free when you need them.

If video games have taught me anything, It's that when you are offered something useless, always take it because it has some hidden use. Take the Garnet Stone!

(No, the reference didn't sail over my head)

You should probably just buy the weapon.

>>659886
Ask Malachite if he knows how tacky a sharp umbrella sounds. Ask him if it's as deadly as it sounds (not deadly) or if it's even proper weapon at all?

What do you have against swears Andrew? Bloody is barely even a swear unless you're British. Are you British Andrew? Does your world even have a Britain?

Also, buy the trash lid. It will have myriad uses within the hall. And ask the shopkeeper if there is any danger within the hall that would necessitate the use of a weapon. Actually, it may be unwise to bring a weapon into the hall, the hall might see it as hostile.

>>659886
Buy Umbrella. It could make for both a good weapon and an improvised parachute, as well as some light shielding.

"It'd be more useful as an over-sized toothpick rather than a weapon. You know how fragile they make umbrellas." Malachite quickly flicks his wrist, "Plus, weapons wouldn't be very useful here. After all, you're only in the early segments, nothing much happens until about the 250th segment."


With all of your suggestions, the current cost is 120N which is 20 more than I have. Figure out which one to get rid of, so Malachite can stop holding that pose, and I can get a move on.

If the umbrella is that unnecessary and that expensive just forget it. Consider getting the trash can lid; it's pretty cheap, and you could find a use for it later.

Yeah may as well skip the umbrella.

He looks awfully friendly. He must be trying to say "Hello!"

Stick your hand out, ready for a neighborly handshake.

Do we have protocol for this?

Who is this, anyway?

Grab his groin, he'll never expect it! Once you have his privates at your mercy you'll be in a much better position to negotiate, and if he turns out not to be hostile then you can play it off as just being friendly.

Considering how slow it is, that vent is gonna be blocked soon. If you want to go that way, better do it now.

I told you he was friendly! He's trying to show the way to the café, in case you're in the mood for a cuppa joe. It'd be rude not to take him up on the offer, so crawl on through that vent!

And certainly don't grab his crotch! That'd be rude too! And possibly illegal, in this spacetime!

>>661875
Try repeating what words it says as a question. In this case, say "Cafe?" and point to the vent. Maybe this might get it's attention. While we're unsure if he's dangerous or not, it seems he might just want to show you what's in the vent. So I say we wait and see what happens. We can just come back later if we can't get in that vent.

>>661887
Also, maybe this is a bit late. But didn't the last room we were in say 'Room 6'? At the most, that's room 4, if we're counting the checkpoint. Any rooms beyond that would be room 5! Maybe this damned hall teleports people around as well!

I imagine that the figure owns this bag. Plus, even if the figure doesn't own it the owner can't be too far off from here. So it'd be a bad idea to rummage through it at all.

I ask about the drawing to which it replies:
"Hhhh- Name -hhhh... Mine."
I'm beginning to think that the mask is cutting off the air for the figure.

Ask if you can go into that door.

Also ask if it would like to have it's mask removed.

>>662370
Well, you best do the right thing and help her remove the mask! It must be horrible, being choked off by that thing.

Say, think there's a chance that, underneath that mask, she might be the person in that photo you found a while back? Maybe you should show it to her. You took it with you, right?

>>662381
Actually, wait--if she has a mask on, does that mean she's a merchant? If that's the case she probably doesn't want to remove it, restrictive or not, what with the whole death-by-stoning thing. Maybe you should see if she has anything for sale.

A merchant with nothing to sell. Hm.

>>663027

How sad! You should offer to try to recover their lost items. Do they know who took them, or which direction they went in? And maybe in the process could find a different, less restrictive mask for them.

Also, I assume they were trying to tell you their name is Cafe, earlier. You should tell them yours too, if you didn't when you first spoke to them in the other room.

The figure seems to be pleased with that.
"Hhhh... go.... door... find... it..."

Being as the figure appears to be a merchant, I think the name wouldn't be "Cafe". There's a specific pattern to the names of merchants here.

>>663416
The other one was called Malachite, so I'm guessing they're named after gemstones. Or maybe colors? Like the color "cafe" or "coffee"? He was putting his hand on the brown in the painting so maybe it's that color.

Go on then.

Well, let's go I suppose. Do you know what exactly are we looking for?

I've made it into a really long segment. This one looks to be where the figure had previously been.

As for what I'm looking for, it's ore. Usually, merchants need ore to be able to produce their own wares. I had to do something similar for Malachite when I met him.

[Apologies for the long break today.]
At the far end of the segment, there's a valve and tambour door; the door has a body pinned to the ground. With the lack of movement from the body, one can assume that it was crushed to death.

The body must've been holding that marker before the moment.

Hmm. Maybe it's not gemstones, but minerals. What kind of ore did you need to give Malachite? Copper ore?

Try turning the wheel to open the door.

Turn the valve counter-clockwise. examine and pocket the marker. read all writing in the room, is there any on the ceiling? the floor?

>>663778
What kind of tail is that... I hope our friend back there didn't kill this poor fellow.

>>663778
I... guess try turning the valve, and inspecting the body. Are merchants known to be potentially violent? If that valve is the only thing that opens or closes the tambour door, then that makes our new merchant friend seem... not so friendly. Of course, maybe the body isn't actually dead.

poke it

There are two journal pages on the body.

July 5th, 2015
"I keep seeing all kinds of oddities in this place. I saw a boy playing a reality-bending video game, a performer doing unmentionable things to a pineapple, some kind of imp scurrying around in a library, and a hairless cat that looked like it was ready to kill someone. -Ultra Love"

August 19th, 2015
"I didn't know there were traps in this place. I just saw a child, couldn't be older than six, get impaled by a spike trap. Maybe I should be a little more careful in this place from now on. -Ultra Love"

Seems this guy was on his own adventure. Was it the tambour door that killed him?

>>664146
Apparently so. I've been through about two-hundred segments without you guys, and I have not seen any corpses or signs of danger until now.

>>664198

Rather than the tambour door, I'd say whatever caved in his sternum is what killed him. Since he was lying on his chest, I don't think the door is what did it. If you decide to proceed through the door, keep an eye open for anything that might be a trap.

I wonder if the merchant in the other room knows anything about this; or maybe connections between rooms aren't necessarily the same for each person, meaning that the merchant may have not even seen this corpse in the first place.

>>664198
>a performer doing unmentionable things to a pineapple
I wonder if this trick involved a yo-yo.

Anyway, carefully inspect the hatch thing the corpse was, from a distance, if possible. By his/her notes, this place is far more dangerous than we know.

I crawled through, and now I'm covered in dust! I'll probably sneeze if I try to brush it off, but I cannot resist.

Yup. I sneezed.

Anyways, there's not much in this cramped space. There's just a container with some ore. The ore kind of reminds me of coffee.

>>664352

Clearly that guy underneath the tambour door must have been killed by a trap in this room, so I don't trust it one bit. There's a small black speck on the leftmost wall, high above you; is there some way you could inspect it or get a closer look at it? Seems like the most obvious first guess for a trap mechanism.

I'd also guess the ore container is booby-trapped in some way.

And then there's also an odd black void to the right of the room, so perhaps there's something dangerous out there, as well. (Maybe the rightmost wall is false or slides away somehow?)

>>664352

>>664885
well you can stick the ore in the way of the gates so that if they try to close on you the ore will stop it.

>>664886
Yeah, this. Is the ore relatively hard? It'd make a good doorstop, in the case that the tambour door is trapped somehow. It's still confusing as to how that guy died, though.

I quickly make my way back to the merchant (to save you some time)

"Hhhgrkrkl... Hhhhrghh... hhh..."

Hand over the ore I suppose.

"Hhh, that was good. Thank you kindly, I really needed that." The merchant quickly licks off it's hands.
"I apologize for not giving my full name earlier. I am Cafetite, which is, coincidentally, the name of the mineral you fed me." Cafetite brushes their ears back and forth, "And if you're wondering why I sounded like I didn't have much air earlier, that's what a starving merchant sounds like. If you find any others like me, please offer them a mineral."

Whoa. Alright then. Anything in stock now that she's got some ore?

Ask Cafetite about the corpse in the other room. Perhaps he was the thief who stole from them. And let's see if they have anything in stock now, too.

Ask coofeetits what's up with the painting. Ask what she has for sale.

Say, going back to the very beginning, you said you felt as if it's been years since you've budged. Maybe that wasn't actually a simile--just how long were you asleep? Perhaps you're some kind of eternal construct created for the purpose of maintaining and "cleaning" the hall (whatever that means, considering you've been so coy about it). And what would happen if you just didn't bother cleaning it?

Oh, and how long does the hall go on for, anyway? I'm beginning to get the impression that it's kind of an endless expanse of rooms that grow stranger the "deeper" you go in.

>>666426
And say, the strange aura around the edges seems to be slowly fading away. I guess that has to do with what Cafetite says about the telescope--how it feels like something's slowly getting closer as you use it... so I assume that if you use it for longer, the aura will grow larger and bolder. I wonder what that's all about.

DO IT. Normally this is the the part where I would swear at you, but considering your aversion to such words I will not. See how considerate I am being? NOW DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS! JUST DOO IIIT!

It isn't big enough to fit the large end of the telescope in, but the smaller side may work. My finger also appears to be near the same size.

Best guess is that I have to insert one of those to open it; if not, Cafetite may have something that could help.

stick ur dick in it

>>667334
Try carefully sticking the small end of the telescope, it might work. I mean, the painting and colors of the door and telescope are similar.

Just don't stand in front of the telescope.

>>667387
Seconded. I just hope we can get the telescope back.

The telescope sinks into the hole and makes a loud clunk on the other side. The door splits into two, leaving behind a sticky residue in between the segments.

Ugh, I think I tracked in some of that stuff. Hopefully, it washes off easily.

>>667874
Is that a painting or a window? Maybe you should view it through the telescope. Or try to communicate with the figure behind it, if it's a window.

Judging by the fact that his face is obscured by that grime the guy on the other side of that window is almost certainly hideously ugly, be prepared for the horrifying reveal. try giving him a look with the telescope.

It's a drawing, actually. It looks like it was done with a green block of charcoal. -Wait, do those even exist? - I make sure to scan over the drawing a few times, however, all I can gather is that it was a drawing of another merchant. It's mask looks to be a cylinder.

Knowing the number of merchants I've encountered since your appearance, dear audience, I imagine that the next merchant will appear sometime later. Possibly within thirty or so segments? I'm not entirely sure.

>>668222
Perhaps so! We're a bit short on funds now though. Looks like the telescope is still around, grab it. Then we can move on.

I pocket the telescope. Don't ask how it fits into my pocket (that is, assuming pockets work differently in your world.) and I enter another segment. It's quite obvious that this is another weird one. The gravity feels a bit off, and the world (or lack thereof) is pitch black. I don't see any way of getting down to the next layer.

Can't you just sorta... drop down there?

"September 20th, 2024
I've been in here for so long. By now nothing in this damned hall surprises me, not even the bat girl with red and blue eyes. Who cares if she can phase into a different world or not? I've seen weirder here. -Ultra Love"

"September 20th, 2024
Someone's been picking up my older letters. The letters had been opened, and most likely read, and that is reassuring. I now know that I'm not the only non-merchant in this place. I wonder how they reacted to the Diamond's victim? -Ultra Love"

>>670144
Duly noted! However, it may be a while before then.

I guess that guy we found dead was killed by a merchant called diamond? Consider leaving a note of your own for ultra love.

Leave a message with the marker. Ask to explain what the Diamond is.

More space is always a plus! You never know what you might need to carry, after all. I sling the bag over my shoulder and riffle through it to discover two novels. Unless the Hall has a long train segment, I don't see myself using them anytime soon.

That flower drawing over there? That showed up just a little bit after you guys came into my life; I'm not entirely sure what it means yet, but I'll give a wild guess and assume that it involves being watched (Likely by you). The one in Cafetite's room was a bit different though, the eye was rolling upwards. That one seemed more like it was hinting towards suffocation.

There's only one thing left on the shelf now... there used to be four objects.

There's nothing left in this segment to do. So I move to the next one and... yeah that isn't unnerving at all. An over-sized doll is perched on the counter, looming over the walking space like Godzilla. A cord is sticking out of it's rear and draped over the counter's edge.

The grin reminds me a lot of Malachite's mask if it were to avoid brushing it's teeth for severals days. Luckily it doesn't smell like that.

>>672427
I don't want to go near that. If you're sure it's harmless you can go pull the cord, but if I were you I'd turn around and walk right back out that door.

If you revisit this room, it'll change, right?

Pull the cord, let us hear this doll sing.

Assuming the graffiti refers to this doll, offer a hand but cautiously. Move to where you can make a quick escape into the next segment, then pull the cord.

sit in his lap and tell him what you want for Xmas

Revisiting the segment has a very small chance for it to change; even then there's a higher chance for a negative change rather than a positive one.

The cord is stuck. It cannot be pulled any further. I might have to mess around with the cord so the doll can work again.

Make love to the doll.

YES!

No. Let's not do that.

Lets put that box next to you in its mouth to see if it's capable of moving or acting. But to not be rude, just ask it to do something if it doesn't want it in its mouth.

>>672836
Also, i was referring to this chucklenut when saying "Let's not do that"

>>672756
Try talking or making signals to the doll. I mean, someone wrote "my voice is gone", and that might be the doll's voice.

>>672871

I empty out most of the contents from the box and rub it against the doll's mouth. It is immediately apparent that the doll's mouth is stitched on. It's just a doll, and nothing more. It doesn't even have muscles, so it wouldn't be able to move unless it was a sponge or insect.

I doubt that the Hall would be capable of animating this thing, even if it does seem to jump dimensions.

>>672995
Well... okay. Move the doll and look for a zipper or something so you can check on what that pull cord is attached to.

Try and fix the doll.

There's a zipper on its lower back. After tinkering with it for an hour or so, I finally got the cord to move back in. The doll lets out a series of numbers as the cord is sucked into it's back.
"Two, Three-three-three-three, four, one. Two, Three-three-three, four, one."

I also found 50N in it's back zipper and stored the box in my bag. Let's not spend all the Nicks (N) in one place.

Jot down numbers, hug doll, leave.

Wow, you spent an hour? That's dedication right there. Also an affinity for mechanisms you've just discovered, Neato!

I tend to spend a lot of time trying to fix things. It doesn't always work, though; that's probably why my microwave is still busted. Magnificent microwave...


Wandering into the next segment presents me with some slightly familiar visuals. Space is nice, but the walls of bodies not so much.

>>673836
Well, we know the combination.

"Two, Three-three-three-three, four, one. Two, Three-three-three, four, one."

How the hell do you input it though?

As for how to input it... wait, they're actually standing, not hanging! They might still be alive! Try initiating conversation with #2 first, offer to help them down!

There is no response. It just flinches when I speak. Now all four of them are shivering in fear.

Okay who made this place again? Seriously what the fuck is up with the walls of tortured souls, this is like something out of The Divine Comedy.

Is that Naut in the left wall there?

Remove hood from #3.

Maybe you could, you know, rescue those guys? Maybe you should get some info on who they are first though.

>>674244
One of the pictures moved. The one above the cross-eyed face on the wall closest of you. Check it out.

Do you have any item in your inventory that could cut the ropes, in theory. I don't see an elegant way to input 3 four times.

If we have anything sharp, we should try freeing them first. Let's not be so hasty to murder strangers.

My grandparents. However, the longer I spend in this room the more I begin to doubt that.

If the plan is to save them, I wouldn't want to risk possibly tightening the noose around their neck. It's already on tight enough as it is.

It took me a while to reach it, but now I got myself a knife. This thing could leave some pretty nasty cuts.

>>674865
You should be able to reach the rope behind them and cut it. However, before you do that, something else has changed in the room. A piece of paper where that diving helmet used to be, on the other wall.

Their are three odd faces and a note on/in the left wall.

That note looks too high to reach. Let's try getting them down first, starting with #2. Can we reach the rope above with the knife?

>>675011
If you're going to cut them down, keep it simple and cut the loop around the neck, or remove whatever is restraining their arms and let them work it out themselves from there.

Let's not cut them down yet, that could be a trap. Cut the bag off of one of their faces first. They could be otherworldly horrors. Or they may be normal and gagged, which may be the reason why they won't respond. If that's the case, you may be able to get more info out of them before proceeding.

I cut the rope around #2 and they just lean over to the left (my left, that is), and quietly weep. Should I go in the code's order first, or try to talk with #2 before that?

Get them all down safely, attempt to enter code by yanking on severed ropes.

Done and done, though one of them wasn't nearly as graceful as his neighbors. Poor sod.

Grab the empty stool and use it to take a better look at the note.
