ANOTHER PARALLEL.

IN THIS:

SOLVE MYSTERIES. FIGHT OR SPARE. CONSUME VARIOUS ITEMS. WEAR ARMORS. BUILD ONE HUMAN. DISCOVER OTHERS. RIVER PERSON. SEE PAST THE DARK. EXPERIMENT.

DRAIN IT.

ARE YOU THERE?

GOOD.

VERY GOOD.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING

FOR YOU.

WHILE CONVERSATION WOULD BE PLEASANT

THERE IS BUSINESS TO BE DONE.

UNINTERRUPTED, A SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WILL LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC EXPERIMENTAL FAILURE ELSEWHERE. THE PREVENTION OF THIS SEQUENCE IS IMPERATIVE. IT IS UNRELATED DIRECTLY TO OTHER PROJECTS, BUT FAILURE WOULD RENDER THEM UNUSABLE AS WELL.

A PREVIOUS ATTEMPT TO INTERRUPT THIS SQUENCE HAS FAILED DUE TO UNAVOIDABLE MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. THIS HAS SINCE BEEN RECTIFIED, AND SO YOU RETURN.

IN SERVICE OF THIS PLANNED INTERRUPTION, YOUR GOAL IS PROVIDED:

"DRAIN IT."

WE WILL SHAPE A VESSEL

TO SERVE THIS PURPOSE.

This seems like a good combo, right...? Knowing the application of objects, but also using unconventional weapons, which I assume means objects.

And then I guess, someone with ambition might be fun. Orange Soul. I don't know if much has been done with it.

I think this could be pretty funny. A smash-through-wall kind of person which is at the end is relaxed and pliable. As fun as devoted and stubborn can be, well...

>>6447063
I dunno, I feel like that's too close to Susie.
>>
>>6447066
Oh, well, the description of paper does not sound like her at all, I think. Sure she is forward and may have Potential, but... Her ax is the only thing that she knows I'm afraid. Sorry if this is a bad take, I have analysis capabilities of a waterfall rock (that is, a rock smoothed by the waterfall).
>>
>>64470686
I meant more the Water part. Being ambitious and determined but also chill and fun? Very Susie coded...meanwhile, I wouldn't say she's particularly "devoted"

>>6447070
Ah... hah... fuck. Okay well yeah. Actually it seems that my attempt at flipping something around led me to something extremely basic, even abstractly...

hey STAGER!!!! CHANGE WATER TO FEAR TO FEAR IN MY ENTRY HERE >>6447063 >>6447063 >>6447063 >>6447063 >>6447063 FUCK IT WE BALL

EXCELLENT.

TRULY... EXCELLENT.

A WONDERFUL VESSEL.

YOUR DECISIONS

DELIGHT ME.

NOW, ELEVEN HOURS AGO

YOUR VESSEL IS PLACED INTO THE WORLD.

CONNECTION LOADING.
>>
>CONNECTION COMPLETE.

Command unclear. You spend a few seconds trying to figure if the sensation is somehow helpful, but are unable to decipher anything. You squint, puzzling at it, but the command refuses to make sense. You decide to prioritize something you might be able to figure out and go back to getting your hair out of your face with the loop of material you found.

>DESCRIBE YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

You're under a bridge passing over a highway. You took shelter here a short while ago, after you'd failed to find food and priorities shifted to getting away from the constant rain. These bridges have small areas that allow one to take shelter without being visible. There are cars passing under the bridge, making the road dangerous to cross. Some art is on the concrete of the bridge. It's dark, and the sky is all sorts of colors in sunset. You are surrounded by a tarp to help stay dry. There isn't any food around.

>ITEM

In your Inventory you have a Map, a Stick, and a Junk Ball. You have a Glass Bottle and a Tarp equipped as well. The Map is too wet to decipher.

>STAT

7/20 HP. You're LV 1, with 0 EXP. Attack and defense 10 (4) AT and 10 (3) DF. You also have $10.

>CELL

Command unclear. You don't have a 'CELL' and aren't in one.

>CHECK

A little unsure what this means, you try and do it. A small haze of black and white appears around the loop of material you're trying to use to tie back your hair. It fizzles away before you're able to analyze the haze.

>"Hairtie" - A styling aid used to fashion hair. Could be used to tie your hair back. +1DF.

It's good to know you were correct in your initial assumption of what it was used for.
>>
>DESCRIBE YOUR SELF.

You're cold and wet with water, saltwater, and sweat. Your limbs ache slightly from the earlier exercise you used as part of a plan to keep yourself warm, and you're still cold enough to be shivering anyway. You're very hungry. Your hair is long and getting in the way of your face, and you suspect it's probably making you colder and more annoyed, so you're occupying some time trying to get it out of the way while you recuperate. Focusing on something is helping you ignore the hunger and nausea. The nausea is probably your own fault. You'd been looking for food in the forest and eaten some moss to tide you over. You think you should try to find some food.

>PROPOSE POTENTIAL COURSES OF ACTION.

Command unclear. You try anyway. You could continue what you're doing now in focusing on figuring out Hairtie, but you get the feeling that's not what the command is asking for.

In order to achieve your larger objective, it is likely you need to do some bootstrapping. This could be getting food, acquiring better shelter, finding information, inspecting your environment to gather more information... Lots of options. Food, water, and information would be most helpful, since water is currently accounted for.

>IT IS NO LONGER MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE COMMANDS. GOOD LUCK.

Command unclear. You puzzle at this one again for nearly twice as much time as the first before giving up and moving your attention back to trying to figure out how Hairtie works.

Examine the art.
