No no sexual things, make yourself sick, get more creativity and give her a working mouth.

No no sexual things ... give her a working mouth.


Okay, I'll get my gutter mind out of the thread now.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Let's get the pathetic stuff out of the way.

Neither talking to the machine or activating the statue works. You think and try that in the other order; that doesn't do anything either.
You look at the statue; it--she?--looks back. You pause, thinking[/i] Should I or shouldn't I? ...and then decide to settle for a hug. You hug the statue. It's cold and, again, has a consistency partway between gold and flesh. The statue reacts, flailing her heavy limbs about. You lose your grip and fall backwards.
[-1 Health] Oof. Now the statue is a bit afraid of you.
Hm. What can you do? Maybe give her a personality? How about a bit of practicality and sarcasm? First, the paint. You remove your helm again, sniff the paint,
[+1 Creativity, +1 Toxicality] and get to work. [22-5;17-5] [Skill: Novice Mindcrafter] [-1 Creativity] The statue flares for a moment with a golden light, then speaks in a voice almost exactly like if someone was striking a series of tiny gold bells.

"...Where am I?"
"Um..."

Eat some bread. Tell the statue that she would know as well as us. Whack a wall with the pick. Maybe we will find something interesting.

"You are...here. Wherever this is; you know as well as me. Do you know or remember anything?"
"Um...well, I remember the past several seconds...I remember what you just said, and kinda remember some stuff before that, like you grabbing me--"
"That was a hug! It was supposed to be friendly."
"Well, um...thank you?"
"So...what would you like to be called? My name is Persana."
"I suppose...Figura sounds like a nice name."


Having settled this, you return to the food situation. You start by eating some bread, which predictably causes you to vomit. You do so into the machine's hole, which is nice and clean, and then accidentally press the button. DING! Huh. The machine now contains a weird greenish goo which looks somewhat transparent and jiggly, and not vomit-like.

So. What's left to do? Oh, yes, knock a hole in the wall.

Aw man. You were hoping for something...cool.

On the bright side, Figura seems to want to join!

"So, is there any inherent knowledge of how to be a statue person that you suddenly have?" Make small talk while knocking the hole in the wall.

Drop some rubble or equally useless objects into the void, and see what happens.

Put the cat-like corpse in the other room and the vomit in the machine. Chat with figura about anything she knows. Also, figure out figura's stats. Stimulation? What does that mean in this case?

Re: A Beginner's Guide: I Know How to Move and Stuff...

You've got a few ideas on what to do next. First, you're going to eat what you're calling "soylent green," the jelly stuff. [+1 Nutrition, -1 Health] Oof. Great plan, there.

"Are you okay?"
"Ugh. Yeah, not the first time I've thrown up...by the way, I have some questions."
"Um...sure."
"Is there any inherent knowledge you have about being a...statue person or whatever?"
"Um...I don't think so. I know how to move and stuff, but..."
"Hm. What do your stats mean?"
"My what?"
"Your stats. You've got Attributes like Malleability, Mentality, and--"
"When I find something out about those, I'll let you know."
"Fair enough. It took me a while to find out what all my stats meant."

You watch your vomit drop through the void until it's just a distant dot. "I'm going to try putting the dead cat? in the machine." You head out to do so.
