High jump, high five.

Feed the statue some spinach.

>>675593
Good idea!

perfect. enter the dark abyss. take some green stuff.

wow what?

go back and get hands from lower right path.

Scientific method! We have a hypothesis, now experiment by sticking them in again and observe!

Crap. Just walk into the beasts' lair. Or whatever.

Stellar high-five the second, goooo!

go long

I hope that grows bac- aaaah it's eating you and spreading.

Dive into the water, hope it washes off.

Attach statue hand to arm stub!

Try the other side of the tree. There was a watery pool, maybe that'll wash off the acid.

climb to the upper path, drop on to it.

Run back up and kick the red soccer ball while you still have legs.

Maybe getting a vision will reset / repair your mental avatar construct.

>>675650
Well it worked, but at what cost?

Nothing more to mess with. I guess we have to go deal with what's behind that gate now.

doesn't look like we can, gate's closed again. go hang out with bird man.

...if the gate's closed again maybe we have to push the drum again?

Did we explore everything before using the sword to get through that gate? I feel like we only checked one or two of the three paths available there.

Oh, that's where the green came from. It's toxic waste from the barrel we spilled. (How did I completely miss that update).

There are what look like people in those rocks. I bet if you examine them, you'll find they're more suggestor obelisks.

Oh! And maybe the one from here is backwards. You need to check the backside to see if it's a person.

>>675677
Last memory. End of the road.

When you're done checking everything else... do a headstand on it.

Hug all of us suggesters.

You adorable little thing, you.

Run all the way back to the start of the trail and back here, looking for bonus points you may have missed.

You have a round hole in your torso. That is a giant white ball.

You know what to do.

Fire. Dancing along the spine and off the tips of the nerves. Atrophied paths bend and break under new pressures. Emergency repairs. Digital patchwork. Piecemeal from self and others. Ants crawling along roots. Invasive species. A choked mind gasps for air. A first light. A new dawn. One step out of the grave.


I’m not alright I’m freaking the fuck out.

Not if you keep making new memories of each other. What does it matter if the oldest ones fade away if you're just replacing them with new ones?

>>675738
But hey, you're responding directly to our queries, and speaking in the first person! That's an improvement over all this narrator business.

Is there anything we can do to help?

>>675738
>I’m not alright I’m freaking the fuck out.
Stop that shit then, flipping out ain't no help to nobody. Just calm down and try to remember, remember why you can't remember. If the answer to our dilemma isn't just soul-searching then we should go back and retrace our steps.

>>675738
Invasive species... that isn't us, is it...?

Do you know who you are? Where you are?

>>675738
Marie, talk to us! You're on the verge of killing someone, FORCE AN EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN!!!

If you're worried about your memories, broadcast them across your system, we'll catch as many as we can in our data logs!

HURRY!!!

>>675743
Naw she's just holding him by his collar. I'm not even sure that's happening right now-- all the other orbs were memories.

Right. Just have to calm down. Just. Calm down.

Breathe in. And out. In. And out.

In. Feel the air enter my lungs. Simulated gases into simulated organs. Numbers crunching in machines. Artificial synapses firing in a mechanical brain.

Out. Mechanical muscles forcing down mechanical lungs. A simulation of organs.

In. The other. Outside influences entering the system. Blurred boundaries.

Out. The void. Expelling the outside world. A moment alone.

...though I guess I’m not actually alone anymore. So, who wants to go get this red shit out of my head?

>>675747
Ooh ooh I do I do! Let's clean house. May as well start here and work towards the door.

>So, who wants to go get this red shit out of my head?
Can we do that? I suppose I don't mind paying my head-rent with cleaning.

Not sure if that's a virus or your identity...

Just quarantine all the various stuffs. You can incinerate them when you find out what they are.

>>675747
we really should not have touched that red ball.
any way to throw it up?

>>675763
if tha doesn't work we can burn it off with the green shit. the green shit can be used to incinerate the red if we can find a way to bring out to the other.

do you still have the sword?

Is it time to paint it black?

Spent it on that gateway. Shame it didn’t last longer, I liked it.

We have to find the heart and rip it out. I suppose we could wander aimlessly around here until we find it, have a jolly ol’ adventure, and maybe even learn the meaning of friendship while we do it. But that would take a long time so let’s skip that part.

“That was you in the plural form, by the way.”



“I suppose ‘there’ is a relative term to use in this space anyway. Any where we are, we’re still in the same location in the real world.”


“or is this the real world and out there fake or…”


“Bit of a head scratcher.”


“Wait no I understand it now.”


“Dohohohohohoho.”

Assert your authority with a few well-timed kicks.

Well, if you have some representation of your inventory in here, you could use the arm cannon.

...ah, that symbol is the same as the one on that giant water creature that "ate" you in the vision you had where you were "drowning". Same person that's been hounding us all this time, I'm guessing.

This is a representation of your mind isn't it? Why not simply take out the sword anyway? I mean this guy is clearly manifesting things to disrupt you, it is kinda your turn.

>or is this the real world and out there fake or…
Oh yes, it's really ambiguous if the dreamscape filled with floating literal metaphors that can be interacted with is real or not! We sure are confused by that.

>Spent it on that gateway
...could we wonder-twins form of a sword for you, maybe? I mean, we're just minds here, maybe we can manifest in a helpful way.

>>676111
Could we remake that in the shape of your symbol?

“ruderudeRUDE!” It shouts. I think that hit a nerve. “Why do you hate me so much? I’m not all bad. I gave you your name! Well, a name. I didn’t have to do that. Is it because I don’t have a face? Hating the faceless villain? I can fix that.”

If that's the real Marie, well... tell her it's time for her to finally throw in the towel. She's lived long enough, it's time to pass on the torch to someone new. The torch, in this case, being this body.

Grab the tilting screen and spin it around a few times.

Why, without me to have lead you around, you probably wouldn’t have even gotten this far! You’re not particularly observant. Nor are you any good at fighting. You would have been torn apart by now.

I’d like them to, though.

So should we try to throw it outside somehow or... what? Maybe make a monolith for it so it can't interfere directly?

I don't really like to kill unless it's necessary. If that's the only way to expel its influence then I guess we'll have to.

Crush it.

Break it.

...Okay, so now what? Will you break it like the two before suggest? Will you consume it? Use it? I mean this is ridiculously ambiguous. Though you should thoroughly mutilate the 3-eyed drama queen at some point regardless.

Time to run quarantine protocols.

We probably don't want to just delete it, cause if we can use the captured fragment to make an exploit or countermeasure, we could help others tied in this web, like the gal who can't remember her name, without going to these lengths.

You sort of need samples to develop vaccines.
