Of what race would you call me?
And furthermore, what shall I call you? Surely you voices must have a name?

Pain should not feel good. Pain is a vital indicator for when something is wrong with your body. Its existence in living things is meant to encourage actions that does not result in further pain. In other words, something is wrong with your mind or body if it feels -good-.

You now have a hand free. Free yourself from the rest of the nails.

Devouring, consuming, i.e. eating. Eating fulfills the desire that is hunger. Hunger exists to tell the body that it needs to replenish its primary fuel source...Food.

Maybe something goes there?

Oh, yeah, about that circular thing. It was an eye earlier, back when you were going batshit. It was kind of... watching you. Seems to be full of blood now, so no reason to worry.

The fucking thing is taunting me!

And they all say, "Open the box, Nails!"

...Should I open the box? Surely with the crowbar I would be able to. But I fear whats inside. I just want to leave... that's all I want.

But... I am tired.
I shall give you voices time to think. I do not think I am in complete control of myself at the moment and cannot myself make a sound judgement.
Voice, please help me.
Think deep about all that I have said and you have seen. And ask any questions you would like to ask me or say anything you would like to speak to me about.

For I am sure when I awake from my sleep
your voices will come echoing back to me.
They always do.

>>88173
It's alright. If you're too scared to open the box them don't. Try using the key in the door.

>>88173
Go ahead and try the key on the door. I doubt it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

As for the box... well, I have a feeling that, whatever's happening, whoever's fucking with you, they probably won't let you leave until you open that thing. If you're feeling up to it, then go ahead and open it. Don't be afraid; you'll be fine. We'll make sure of that, Nails.

...I dreamed.
I dreamed of a world long gone.
Filled with all kinds of wondrous flora and fauna.
But there was one animal that stood over all of them.
They could manipulate anything and everything they wanted to.
They built shelters that rose into the sky and beyond. They built bridges that crossed into other worlds. Time and space was not but inferior concepts to these beings as they had overcome all limitations of their physical selves, save but one: Death.

They had mastered everything that life entailed, but they knew nothing of the afterlife.
And they ached for the knowledge that was gained when they would inevitably die.
Where would they go?

I have the same dream every time I close my eyes to sleep.

Hey, as long as you're in batshit demon mode, could you try putting a few more holes in the wall in the direction of that eye? It'll drain out some of the blood, and you may be able to get to the fucker before he nails your arm to another wall.

In other words, PUNCH FUCKING EVERYTHING.

For whatever my inner voice had to say, the weight of these ones are much greater.

Punch the eye. This thing must be the one doing this to me. It must be what nailed me to the wall. It has to be. I will do more than punch it's eye. When I get out I will find it and torture it as it tortured I! And when it is weak and at Death's door, I shall devour it!...
...
Well, that was an... aggressive thing to say.

I notice that my backpack is actually missing along with all the items I thought I had, save for the four nails I have.
To make up for this, I'll take this... whatever it is, floating on top of the blood, as suggested.

Now, with that out of the way. How should I damage the eye?
Should I punch it? Kick it? Try to bite it?
Maybe I could make some use of these nails, hm?

After giving it some thought, I think the story would flow better if I ended the chapter here.

Let me explain a few things.
Having never done a quest before, but quite intrigued by them, I decided to make my own.
This actually started out as sort of a joke:
A one shot where the main character dies horribly after opening the box. Nothing serious. This is why the character was poorly drawn in the opening post.
Shortly after my second post though, I changed my mind (who knows why.) and started making a real quest out of it.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
Thanks to everyone who took part so far.

Nails will most definitely return.

>>89396
I'm glad you decided to continue this quest :D
