"Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all."--Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody"Turn 31<- Turn 30 | Turn 32 ->Tame the hungry beast with a packet of crisps.
5. You toss a bag of chips in the corner and the shade rushes over to eat them, or do whatever a being made of shadow does to a bag of chips. You question whether you can actually tame it, but it at least seems preoccupied.
Have my spirit leave my body.
2. Your spirit remains solidly in your body. It prepares for the inevitable.
Slit Nix's neck. Greet evil self if she appear.
4. It takes a bit of strength to cut through his throat with the letter opener, but he's not moving so you have more than enough time. Nix is now dead. You have gained the Stabber ability (+1 accuracy with knives, letter openers, and broken bottles).
You hear footsteps on the stairs and turn around to see... yourself. The other you is wearing a toga, but otherwise seems to be identical. "Clair," she says. "You've proven your loyalty. I'm Clara R. Regia, and I've been sent to your company on an important mission. You're more than capable of helping me."
She mumbles a few words (1) and grunts in pain as spectral hands appear around her and claw at her, dealing 4 damage. "Uh, that was supposed to heal you."
Jake feels ready to take on the world now! He realises that the sounds of fighting must be from a damsel in distress, and he will be the fresh saviour!
"Wait here! THE GREEN MAID TO THE RESCUE!"
Investigate the sounds of the kerkuffle.
1. You decide that your first act as the Green Maid will be an investigative one. Specifically, you're going to see what that is over on the ground. Ah, a grenade. One that explodes and deals 3 damage to you, knocking you around a bit. Well, you've at least determined the source of the blast marks.
Determine if I am in reality or not.
6. Yeah, you're in reality, but not the best part of it. The 11th floor seems to have gotten a bit more chaotic in the twenty minutes you were gone. There's some sort of rumbling coming from the upper floors, and this one doesn't look much better.
To the north in HR, it looks like someone has turned the cubicles into a fort of some sort. Randy V. Lindeman's head is poking above the wall, preaching. He's probably standing on a desk or something. The remaining lights in IT are dimmed - the generators must be close to running out of power. And over in Law you can see... plant people. They're just sort of shuffling about aimlessly.
Name: Martin M. Marigold
How would your co-workers describe you? An emaciated individual that seems to actually live in the office, speak purely in frenzied mutters and get up to god knows what in that corner cubicle of his. Some say he participates in mortal combat with the janitors over the right to get into his cubicle every night, though other sources claim that that's utter silliness and the combat is almost exclusively nonlethal at all times. The cameras don't really have that area in their field of vision, so it's hard to say for sure.
Department: Finance
Where do you see yourself in five years? Still employed, still keeping the place afloat and, most importantly, still undefeated.
What you brought for lunch today, or if you plan on going out to eat. Nothing, since he doesn't ever leave the office as far as the common worker knows. His lunch is usually scavenged from unattended leftovers. Today it is a half-eaten chicken sandwich. It looks better than his usual fare.
It has been a rather awful day at work. You're more used to the death and fighting than most of your co-workers, but not the power outages and strange creatures roaming around. Right now you're doing some paperwork in finance, but you just got the feeling that you'd be more helpful elsewhere.
