This quest looks very promising.

If you have not already partaken of the snacks, do so. Adventures, safe or not, simply cannot be undertaken on an empty stomach. Once you have gotten yon snack on, search around for a station attendant and find out what's afoot. Why is your train so late?

Either way, don't WAIT for the adventure to come to you. You should GO FIND the adventure! It's not just going to walk up to you any moment now! Go find it. SAFELY. Wherever it may be.

Also, any reason why it's called Cerebrum City? Maybe that will give us a clue to where the real adventure is?

First thing to learn about safety:
Safety is inversely proportional to the velocity of an object. Which relates to everything ever.
Nothing is absolutely safe. Get used to it.

Second thing to learn about safety:
The more blind faith you have in anything, the more it's gonna hurt when lack of maintenance causes an intricate and devastating malfunction.
KISS - Keep It Simple And Safe, (brought to you by NASA, the people who turned the Cold War into an expensive existential crisis)

Third thing to learn about safety:
Be efficient, be polite, have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

SAFETY FIRST; YOUR BUDDY BUNNY CHERUB SCOUT GUIDE SAYS:

IMPORTANT: Make sure you never step too close to the edge of the platform.

STEP 1: If you have a phone, call your parent or legal guardian and update them on your current status.

STEP 2: If there's a snack machine, and you have the means to use it, do that; don't let yourself go hungry!

STEP 3: If there's a station attendant, talk to them and ascertain if there's a waiting room you can sleep in.

STEP 4: If there isn't an official safe place to stay nearby, but you know an address in the city you can get in contact with, see about securing public transportation there.

IMPORTANT: Even if these last two steps don't pan out, remember this helpful Don't Panic™ tip: The process of ascertaining your surroundings can potentially reveal new solutions you otherwise wouldn't have noticed!

No. 933971 ID: e95cec

In descending order of importance, according to viability:
1. Phone somebody.
2. Find attendant.
3. Do you know an address or phone number?
4. Cops will (theoretically) take care of you until your guardian can be found (and reprimanded).

>>
No. 934130 ID: c0641d

BUDDY BUNNY SAYS:
If you find yourself lost in the city under hostile conditions, remember your BDSM:

Bearings: Are you truly lost? Hopefully not. Any good scout should at least be able to examine their surroundings and observe identifying landmarks such as street signs and government buildings. Train and bus stations might even provide a map of the immediate area.

Direction: Do you have a particular destination in mind? If you can ascertain how to move yourself to your ultimate goal, and it seems feasible to do either on foot or preferably with public transportation - Remember your travel money! - then you should see about reaching there under your own power. Don’t forget to use your umbrella.

Shelter: If you can’t reach your intended destination, your next priority should be protection from the elements and personal security. If you’re expecting somebody, you shouldn’t move too far - if you’re at a train station, for instance, see if there’s a sitting room connected off the platform; these are designed for hapless passengers caught out in the rain like yourself.

Mr. Neighborhood Officer: If even basic shelter that makes you feel safe can’t be found, try determining the location of a police kiosk or station. Even if it turns out you aren’t allowed to stay the night there, your friendly neighborhood officers should be able to help out with your predicament. (You can even stop your search if you find a patrol car. If an officer isn’t already present within, they’re likely in a nearby eatery.)

Rats make great insanity buffers when you need someone to talk to. Try talking to one! Ask for local landmarks and discuss your plans. They also provide emergency supplies! Just remember that your Strange Meat Pyramid needs a solid foundation. Ensure at least two of: Freshly harvested, cooked black, eject stomach contents.

Follow the instructions and say your name, your phone's number and that you're still waiting at [name of this station] at [this time,] Rosey never showed up to pick you up, you need a pickup soon and you love her (your mom.)

Alright, first, find shelter out of the rain, preferably still up on station platform. If this is a mass transit station then you'll want to stay up here to possibly take a train to nearer your mom's place. If you go to street level then you'd have to pay to get back up to the platform and you don't have any money, right?

Next, do you know where your mom's place is? What about her work place? Do you know the general layout of this city? If no to all those, then you'll need a phone book and a city map. Hopefully your mom is listed in there, either her home or her workplace. A phone book should be any phone booths or you could borrow one from a store owner. It may even have a city map printed in it as well. The station may have a city map too, or at least a transit map.

A phone book will also list the police station addresses and phone numbers as well as the city emergency and non-emergency numbers. This isn't a 911 level situation, so don't call that (yet.) One option would be calling the nearest police station or the police non-emergency number and explaining your situation and asking for help.

A second option, if you can't walk to your mom's place or use mass transit to get close enough to walk, is to call a taxi. It's not a good option 'cause I presume you don't have money and the cabbie will be expecting to be paid once you reach your destination and be angry if you don't. If you're lucky your mom will be there to pay. If not then the cabbie will either lock the car doors on you and trap you, chase you down, or sic the cops on you. For now record the number of a couple taxi companies for possible use later.
>>
No. 934145 ID: 6a6c99

Honestly I think you'd want to call the police next, as long as they aren't corrupt you can count on them to at least get you out of the rain, and help you contact whomever. You might even get a meal outta it. Child Abandonment is a crime and it ain't safe for you to be out here alone.

It doesn't sound like this is the sort of station to have an attendant. Be wary of strangers and continue calling the police: "Hello? I'm at {STATION NAME}. My name is {NAME} and I came on the {ETA} train. Someone was supposed to pick me up but it's really late now and it's really scary around where I am."

Other than this, as long as the un-ratlike being is posing a clear and present danger, you should be safe on the stairs; it works for the rats. Remember not to let any of them get too close in the meantime (and don't touch any surfaces here except for your soles, just to be safe). If they are a clear and present danger, you have a head start on them; remember not to just blindly run, though! Splatty Patty doesn't look where she's going and takes a dive off a raised walkway.

Unfortunately a glove makes for a bad ranged weapon, so direct fighting it is. Though there's a lot of potential to shocking puddles and staying back, it's the boss we need to confront and take down. So identifying the boss is the first step. After that we need to get the boss down to us, preferably with a few good shocks in to weaken them. Rose should be the final blow with the tranq.

Do you know how electricity works?

Current (measured in amps) is voltage divided by resistance. Human body is estimated to have about about 100000 ohms of resistance if you haven't broken the skin, and 100 mA of current is enough to be fatal to people. That 550 mA would be pretty much guaranteed fatal.

No. 936754 ID: 055cbc

That is a perfectly standard taser voltage. Tasers use 50,000 volts to arc and make initial contact, then drop to a less fatal level once the circuit is closed. Whether the glove does that by default remains to be seen.

That said, the phone won't ring forever so you should probably answer it this time. If we want to use it for a trap, we can have Rose call it when we have a plan after the call.

I feel a bit bad about killing a helpless creature, even if it is a psychic mutant rat that tried to have us nibbled to death. Maybe I'm just too soft though.

In regards to matters of safety...well, it would be both safe to exterminate this thing, AND capture it to investigate the source of the malady that caused it in the first place.

...damnit, we're a Safety Scout! We must be safe! And just leaving a potential issue to fester is Not Safe.

...But violence is fun!

Gah, capture it for now. Like the above poster said, we'll be the very violent Pinky to his Brain. Sort of.

Ask Rose really fast: “Kill or capture?!” She’s the expert.

“Hello? Is everything alright?” she calls out before approaching us with a flurry of questions.
“Are you the ones who called? Is this your phone…Are you the ones who threw it at me?” she continues sounding mildly annoyed, eyeing our rat hat suspiciously.

Lets call our mom first, she’s probably worried to death about us.

“alright” Rose agrees
“we can use the phone right here, I’m sure sleeping beauty wouldn’t mind.” She says gesturing to the front desk’s phone.

While waiting for the phone to ring we ask Rose about our rat friend Rat-thoney.
“You named it?! (I was kind of hoping you’d forget about it and throw it away or something…)” Rose responds

“You just can’t walk around with that thing on a leash like a dog! Animals aren’t really allowed here, I can get you a cage, and you can keep it in your room or something but you can’t tell ANYONE about this, or we’ll both get into trouble.”

After a handful of slow rings from the phone we’re greeted with a familiar yet stern “HELLO?” immediately after we echo the greeting, the voice on the other end of the phone immediately erupts into a flurry.

“BABY!?! IS THAT YOU?! OH LORD. THANK GOD YOU’RE OKAY! WHAT HAPPENED?! WHERES ROSIE?! WHERE ARE YOU?! I THOUGHT I TOLD HER TO PICK YOU UP!!! THAT STRINGBEANED PEA BRAINED BIMBO!

Both options seem enticing we haven't had any sleep all night or a real meal other than our snacks at the station.

Things are starting to look up from the chaos last night. We even got to learn a new word. "whore" we're not entirely sure what it means but mom said it so it's probably a good one!

A somewhat intimidating woman makes her way into our room. Where’s Rose? This lady is old! Not Rose old, not mom old, this lady is like Mrs. Carpenter from 2nd grade old!

“Ms. Zwart.” (You obnoxious brat) the woman calls out addressing the other girl
“Your sister’s here for you.”

The other girl giddily gathers up a couple of bags before shooting out of the room like it was christmas morning. Before she fully exits of our sight you could have sworn that she gave us a really quick and nasty leer.

“Ms. McCarthy.” (Jesus this kid looks awful, why’d I hafta get stuck with the ugly one) the woman says before kneeling next to our bedside.
“You may call me Ms. Scarlet, I’ll be your guardian for today since your previous one proved to be....incompetent…”.

What would you like to do today? We could go to the museum, to the beach, or perhaps camping even. It’s up to you” (please for the love of god, don’t pick anything stupid.) she says trying her best to sound sincere

Something seems peculiar to you, perhaps it's due to your lack of sleep. But you could have sworn that you’re hearing that woman’s voice twice. But the 2nd voice is saying something different??

“I know what happened last night.” (that's why I'm here and not that idiot.)

“Tell you what…” Ms. Scarlet mumbles while digging through the bag. “I'll give you another choice. You can stay here and sleep in the nurse’s orrrrrrr... you can take this only half tho it will make you feel better.”(at least for a couple of hours) She advertises while handing us a small candy looking thing.

“Or if you really don’t want to go out, I can take you to the nurse’s to rest up, you can’t stay in here we have to clean your room.” (unless you want to be burned by chemicals)

“What about Rosie? Can we see her?” We ask

Sleep....Sleep sounds like the safe choice now. We tell Ms. Scarlet that we’d rather sleep then take our chances on some pill.
“If that’s what you want” (Makes my life a lot easier) She agrees, as she takes back the pill and stuffs it into one of her pockets.

Slowly she rises from our bedside letting out a slight grunt “I’ll go get Ms. Atkins, I doubt she got much sleep either. After that we can go grab some breakfast and head down to the Sick bay together.” She explains before exiting the room.

Now’s the time to act! Ignoring the obvious scolding going on outside of our room, we hide Rat-Thoney the best way any kid our age would. Just in time too soon after the door opens to reveal not only Ms. Scarlet but Rose as well. “Are you ready to g-” Ms. Scarlet says before pausing to give us a suspicious glare. (Is that? I...I Really don’t give a shit.) “Let's go” she stalely continues.

Before heading to the sick bay Ms. Scarlet takes us by the Galley to pick up some breakfast. It may have something to do with the fact that we haven’t eaten since yesterday, but the food tastes great despite the fact that it looks like its older than anyone at our table. Without drawing too much notice to ourselves we make sure to sneak a few morsels to our rodent companion.

Finally filled, Ms. Scarlet guides us over to the sick bay’s overly luxurious lobby. The abundance of prissy aromas and lounge like music make it seem more like a spa than a hospital’s waiting room. “I’m going to check you two in.” Ms. Scarlet says before making her way to the front counter.

Not too long after Rose awkwardly begins to ask. “Hey kid...since like last night… do you feel like...funny? Like kinda dif...oh never mind it’s silly.” (I’m just sleepy is all...keep dozing off....just sleepy.) “I’m gonna go sit down.” (I’m going to sit, I will Sit! Will I Sit? sit…) she moans before slowly shuffling over to the closest chair.

Oh well it probably wasn’t too important. Hopefully we can find something orrrrr someone to entertain ourselves for the time being. We probably Ms. Scarlet seems to have her hands tied dealing with the friendly yet seemingly incompetent receptionist.

We could go talk to Rose some more, or see what those two sciency looking ladies are talking about. Maybe see what’s up with that weird girl, or that big lady by the window. We'll probably have time to talk to at least 2 of them.

Listen to her patiently, and if she ever lets you get a word in, just agree with her. Nobody knows how to react if they're insulting you and you just calmly back them up on it.

The rat actually seems pretty tame, so you should be able to just move it out of the way and hide it. That or scare it off.
The shards can be hidden under the bed for now. You can figure out what to do about them later.
As for the "ferocious woman," I imagine it's your newest recruit's mother come to teach you a thing or two about proper childcare. With her fists. Good luck with sorting that out.

The rat in a pile of broken shards, the commotion behind the door... Is there gonna be a fire? Grab the rat, hide it in your bag, and check the blinking thing in there while you’re at it. Someone freaking out at the rat and being way too liberal about extermination, and whatever that mysterious blinking object is... those are the only two remotely viable causes of fire that we can see and affect at the moment. If both are tended to, and nobody is bursting through the door, pick up the bag and exit; if this fire(?) is going to start outside our range of control, the least we can do is not stay in a room with just one exit.

You are a sweet innocent child who could never harm an animal, so you need somewhere to put it. Has she worked here long enough to know where some sealed containers are? Get her to go get something, then make a break for it when there are no witnesses.

Something about these rats is off.
They don't look like gross subway rats.
They look like lab rats.
Look at how they react to being picked up and handled. No freaking out, no biting or clawing. Just calmly allowing themselves to be picked up and carried.
Feral rats don't behave so calmly when handled.

If you only take one piece of non-clothing equipment, take the fire extinguisher. You (sort of?) know what you'll need it for. If the cross badges aren't used for anything beyond identification, and yours isn't among them, leave them. Left item looks like... mace? Maybe? Make that last priority in gear to take along if you're forced to make a choice.

For clothes, take the hooded poncho; it's the most likely to be fire-retardant. Wear the hood down unless you like looking suspicious.

Get in a stall, either leave the seat + cover up or put them both down and then stand on the toilet before you start getting stuff out of the bag.

The back of the pill bottle doesn't reveal too much info either. A buncha' medical gobbly goo and chemicals.

This, and remember the creature will likely try and communicate with it's kind, and once it does you must respond in the same way, since the thing would surely greet another before asking odd questions, and you can usually greet someone with the same word(s)! It's flawless plan, really.

It is larger than the others, and your sneak skill automatically failed against it, therefore it must be a boss monster, thus it must have a weak point which may be hit for massive damage. Look for any distinctive markings that might indicate such.

based off of our limited knowledge of these monster's language, whenever one monster finishes talking to the second monster, the second monster tends to respond with the word "OK" most of the time.

So whenever a monster talks to our monster, have our monster always respond with "OK". It is absolutely foolproof, and it should lower suspicion. pure genius

but yeah, we should also stand up on two legs to make our monster look bigger

The rats are Hazards? Nobody ever told you that - and she COULD HAVE, after the underground, 'member?

But why? You mean, they're pretty cuddly and weak. Sure, they bit and scratched you a bit in the underground, but once you showed them who's boss they calmed down and these have been cuddly angels since. You donno. They seem pretty nice when you treat them nice?

... did they try treating them nice?

And you... kind of didn't mean to break stuff! You just accidentally'd. Stuff breaks real easy around here for some reason. Ugh, and since when did you need glasses? You need glasses.

Annnyway... okay! You kind of don't want the rats 'xtermied, cuz' that sounds bad even if they did give you 'fluenza - xplains why you felt so crummy earlier - and you CAME here for summer camp anyway. So it's not like you got other plans?

But why reduce Hazards? If everyone were a Hazard, then nobody would be! Wouldn't the universal distribution of improved abilities be of benefit to everyone? Her assumptions are weak, her analysis arbitrary, and her conclusions flawed. If she is going to be so unremittingly foolish about this whole matter, then she needs to be reeducated.

Y'know, if you boned up hard enough to have your highly influential brain rat and you jumbo sized centipede rat escape into the sewers to attack people as a result of your mistake, you might want to consider telling the ones responsible for defeating them about the situation, rather than have them stumble about in the dark screwing up things by accident.

I'd be willing to work with you, but the first thing that would be required is an improvement to the rats living situation. Right now they consider mutiny to be the best solution to this, and if you've can't keep a bus sized centipede rat hidden from the public, you might as well shut down your project first before the higher ups do it for you.

(to the rats) So, gentlerats, what exactly would you like for your demands? I'd start off with decent food and clearly established hours for work and for time off, as well as better living and relaxation facilities. Any other ideas?

A spanking and having her fix what she broke is more than acceptable for what she did. And also, INFORM ME SOONER next time my daughter gets involved with any hazards, okay?"

"Now, Bonnie, sweetie, could you tell me WHY you felt it was necessary to punch through a wall to help highly contaminated rats escape? And why you seem to be so interested in keeping them as pets? Keep in mind your dessert privileges might be at risk if I don't like your answer."

“Grace....”

“Right right...We would have contacted you sooner about this minuet mishap but we weren’t even aware of her condition. Until she started punching through walls of course. Initially we suspected that Rose over there was compromised but didn’t think to check on dear Bonnie until a little later I had just assumed she was immune, like you Mil~.”
Grace discloses.


“And please dont mind Sapphire shes a bit...well...stupid. We’re working on teaching her the ropes a the moment. Say! Speaking of teaching this all could be explained much easier if we take a quick trip to my lab. Just so we could get a proper diagnostic and see whats really going on.”

+1 AGI for Bonnie.
+1 END for Rose.

We have to spread this out at least a little bit (though I like where the specialization is going for both of them).

Bonnie, as a walking juggernaut, has no point if she can't hit her opponent once before they can return the favor ten times over; reading her opponents' minds has got to count for something. (Might be useful for someone to also boost her PER to at least (C): Average.)

Meanwhile, Rose has got the Evade/Accuracy stats down - she can predict and dodge attacks, and she's brainy and sharp enough to set up some critical hits. However, the last thing we want is for her to wind up utterly pooped less than a couple of minutes into the fight.

Rose:
You don’t mean to brag or anything but you’ve always considered yourself a bit of an egghead, and you’ve always been pretty nimble on my feet. This should come as a surprise to no one you are in the cheerleading squad at school. Although with those noodly arms and peachlike skin you much preferred positions that didn’t involve anything revolving around lifting or throwing.

If a problem ever arose you’d often opt to take a more supportive role offering assistance where it was needed with the use of your observational skills, quick wit, and just as quickly get out of the way before things get too sticky for you.

“Alright Ms. Atkins...It seems that you’re exhibiting traits of an anxiety hazard, it give’s you foresight into upcoming events.”

“It’s one of the more passive type’s, although it can be utilized whenever you see fit. But…”

“If you take advantage of it too often and depending on how far ahead you look. You can really tear up your body. Especially your stomach.”

Did a search. EHS is electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Irl this is an ill-defined catchall for any apparent sensitivity to electromagnetic signals. Most commonly an apparent allergic reaction to wifi, radio, magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, and microwave. However, the ability to see electromagnetic fields (also a real, albeit very rare trait) would also fall under this. There have also been irl individuals that have claimed to be magnetic which could also potentially fall under this.

In this context, we could probably do any sort of vision within the electromagnetic spectrum (either all encompassing or selective, although all encompassing would probably be incredibly overwhelming), sense electromagnetic waves through some other sense (probably touch, and would present itself similarly to the warm feeling of sunlight on your skin), we could possibly generate an electromagnetic pulse (would fry electronics in a certain radius), or we may become magnetic.

Basically, EHS is an allergic sensitivity to electromagnetic waves although it can also be the ability to see or feel different electromagnetic waves as well. While passive irl, in the quest, EHS may also allow for some types of EM manipulation (magnetism, emp, shooting radiation, bending light, etc.).

--

Koilonychia, from what I have found, is simply an iron deficiency which can cause all sorts of negative effects, but the most visible symptom is brittle, flat fingernails. There is no connection to wings or flight, so idk if FUN just pulled the name out of their ass or if there is some other angle they are working that I just don't understand (probably the latter).

Well we have been feeling a bit twitchy sense we woke up and lately it seems like the tiniest thing could send us over the edge and-”
“Ah see, EHS.” The mean doctor rudely interrupts
Making sure not to dilute her verbal blitz the doctor continues “It’s not too uncommon of a hazard. Basically Bonnie dear, you can produce and store a large amount of electricity. But it can cause the part of your body that you’re not transmitting to, to seize up momentarily….Not organs or anything just her skeletal muscles.” She reassures mom.

“Ordinarily you sit at a 25% charge anything below that and you’ll begin to feel fatigue and anything above that will make you feel energized. You’ll naturally build it up and will have to expel it somehow. External forces will have to boost you above your regular charge. But most importantly although you are very resistant to electricity you are not completely immune to it. Anything even the tiniest bit above your threshold (100%) will cause all that electricity you’ve stored up to blow.”

“Theres various forms of treatment that we can provide for you two young ladies but they’ll take blah some time until blah then I implore blah that blah blah blah blah…”
This doctor lady talks too much, we came her to do fun stuff and eat dirt not get lectured by some old lady!
