Take grue under coat or hat if you're able, whisper that it'll be fine. Then point your gun up to the boss, tell them that if they shoot you, they'll kill the grue too.

Flee with the grue.

Paulsen lifts his hands from behind his back, in one hand he was holding a rather bizarre firearm.

I look toward the cave, grabbing the creature and fleeing seemed really good.

"Your client is dead. We found her and forced information out of her. I knew you were coming, and I know you're a slime."

As he says this, from what I can tell, his weapon was able to detect where my core was. To punctuate his words while I was preparing to act, he fired the weapon. The weapon pierces my core, which leads us back to the beginning of this story. This is where I started.

My client is dead, and now it looks like so am I.

What meaningful last words can I offer?...

>>690559
Bury me with my money...

>>690559
A truly GRUEsome death.

I wasn't the slimiest person in the room.

Rosebud

I banged your mom...

I wish I ate that last slice of pizza

"You won't get away with it, you will g-RUE this day!"

"I was only 2 days away from retirement..."

>>690559
"Llercian. Kill them all."

"Goodbye, goodnight, let the good times roll."

"Told me earlier. Would have just walked."

I've never had my core damaged very much before. The pain is like having boiling water and broken glass torn across your heart and then dripping off in a freezer.

I think about Amina, already murdered for Paulsen's profits. Her pet stolen, and killed for it. Now the pet doesn't even have an owner to go home to if I had succeeded. This is a pretty awful end to a day, haha. Like a lit cigarette in the eye.

At some point I lit a cigarette. I don't remember that but it seems like a thing I would do.

Poor fucking pet, monster or not. I rasp out their name, "Llercian..."

A weird grinding noise echoes from up in the theater. A weird popping noise and some smoke billows before the lit theater screen suddenly goes out, the theater is pitch black.

Find grim solace knowing that the ones that killed you are about to get grue'd

>>690567
It's a damn shame there's no doctor or machine that can put you back together.

And even if there was some sort of smart professor like that, how would you get there?

I give the most pained laugh of my life and lift my hand as best I can with every last gram of strength inside of me. I point at the cage, and whisper, "Kill them all."

Paulsen screams, "NO," in tandem with the gunshot. The sick shatter of what might have been glass and some kind of reinforced bars. They were no match for my trusty revolver.

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Justice is served.

And so is dinner.

As my vision fades, I hear them all cursing my name. Screams, gunshots, and blood splashing all over the place.

Not my problem, not like they can kill me again.
My cigarette falls out of my mouth and I fall into the peaceful abyss.

Inquisitive slurp.
Concerned lick.
Sorrowful whimper

Aw ; o;

If only a grue could call for help.

pet whatever is licking you

or if we're the grue

try nudging her.

Surprise, yer not dead. Or for the creature, get outside and lure someone in.

There was nothing for a while.

Faint sirens.

Am I being teased before I fade completely?

Hold on! You can do it!

If you want to hold on then do it. You'll make it.

After all that has happened I say you need a drink... And they might not have a bar on the other side so just to be safe hold on till you can get to a bar.

You've come too far to give up now.

Ugh...

Celebrate!

Hey, you're alive! Open your eyes and call the nurse/doctor. What happened with the grue?

Well, you're alive. Might as well rest for now.

make a bad metaphor to describe how you feel at the moment

>>690605
Make a GOOD metaphor about how you feel at the moment.

>>690605
Hit the nurse call button. Find out what happened to the pet.

>>690610
Fuck that make a bad simile about how you feel at the moment

I have no idea what happened to the Grue, I haven't been conscious for at least a couple days from what I can tell. My core is still recovering, so I can't really go back to work or anything.

Take it easy, time to relax and recover and see what happens next.

Check out your fine self and see if you can move an appendage or two.

Is the nurse cute? If so, flirt with them.

Better not stress yourself. Just take stock of your surroundings for now.

So should we press the call nurse button and let them know we're awake or just sleep on it for now?

Relaxing would be really nice.

I call the nurse and ask if I can smoke a cigarette.
She says that there is no smoking in the hospital.

I ask her why they didn't let me die then, she doesn't like that.

"It's too bright in here for me to go back to sleep, can you fix that for me at least."
"Sure, one minute. Sorry, there's smoking zones outside but you can't move for a couple more days."

Torture.

>>690625
sounds like you're breaking the habit tonight.

You're a slime, you don't have lungs to ruin, but ok.

Turn the lights off and take a nap.

keep somethin handy to throw.

I'm too tired and frustrated. The nurse checks up on me, leaves, darkens the windows and shuts off the light so I can rest.

I'm so weak and tired, waking up and asking for a smoke was exhausting enough, so I melt right back to sleep.

It is pitch dark.

>>690634
"Good boy, Llercian. Thank you."

Wake up, hopefully you won't be eaten by a grue.

Looks like you have a new pet buddy

Embrace your new, incredibly broken in the dark partner!

... once you get some rest.

You are likely to be partnered with a Grue.

Good night, and goodbye.

GOOD END

Lil' buddy :3

it's been a hell of a ride, thanks for running and finishing this. It's been fun
