"If you have any that would be extremely nice."
A dark shift in the tone of its composition tells you that it's all out of stock. It sold them all last week and won't be getting another shipment until God knows when.

No, for once I'm not being snarky. It literally tells you that it sold all its answers last week.

((Moony, you may want to rethink your sheet. Because there's not much computing hardware in Akasha, well not much that does what one would normally expect it to at any rate, and it looks like you're building Arthur up as the sort of person who would have committed quite a bit of (attempted) cybercrime while drunk. So unless you want to find that he's suddenly made a career change into that of a slasher villain by way of sheer drunkenness and a more physical interpretation of hacking, you may want to do some rethinking, at least for his drunken behavior.

Disease resistance is okay. I mean you won't be up against any actual diseases most likely, but due to the nature of Impulse talents, you can still use it effectively as long as you wield it in the same way one would an Iron Heart Surge.))

Name: Arthur
Backstory snippets: Learned to use the computer at age five, began hacking at age 11, stole five bank accounts by the age of 21, remained uncaught
Regrets: all of those bank account steals
Drunken behavior: often dozes off, sometimes gets violent, but that is uncommon
Hangover ability: dodging objects in general
Impulse ability: Disese resistance

With the chime of a triangle, as in one of those instruments, not the shape, a business card for Requiem for the Static King resonates into your hand.

((Okay, that's fine then Moony. Arthur won't be in the game just yet, since first I need to prepare some overload effects in advance, figure out what the hell he did last night, and figure out what to spawn him with.))

"Wait.... what? I don't remember that at all.... I just remember walking around, and finding this place. I don't remember being stabbed or being operated on or anything.... Weird... So, anyway, may as well try to make my stay here as enjoyable as possible. The name's Janet. Janet Silver. Buy me a whiskey? I've been dying for a drink since I got here."

The mineral water arrives, she pours you a glass.
"Sorry, I think water might be better in this case. You were pretty drunk that time,  slurring you words and insisting you were fine. Guess that's why you can't remember."
She pauses awkwardly trying to segway the topic back into introductions but evidently failing.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jacklyn Burris."

I start looking for the "Monolith Hotel".
You walk through the markets in search of this hotel and come to a dead end. Which would be fine and all if it weren't for the fact that some asshole sealed off the exit with barrier tape that reads as CRIME SCENE - DO NOT ENTER. Again this would be only a slight inconvenience, except for some reason you find that you are unable to over or under it, plus it's remarkably sturdy. You are able to slowly remove it, but unfortunately, you aren't alone. A Nightmare has dropped down from above

A tumorous maw lined with countless human eyes (you know Ludwig the Accursed's second mouth? It's like that). Its body is almost entirely clockwork and canine in form, with a turn-key on its back that seems to be constantly rewound through supernatural forces. To be honest, it still looks quite weak. Mainly because eyes aren't the most effective bodypart for mauling people.
[[Stress: 1 = 1]]

However, it probably also isn't what sealed you in here in the first place, which is an issue. You could probably breach through that tape and make a run for it, but that could be quite tricky.
[[Stress: 5 = 5]]

Grappling hook's an option too. Though who knows what awaits above you atop those stalls.
[[Stress: 3 = 3, requires at least one Hangover]]

Or you could try to suddenly develop superpowers and run through a wall or something.
[[Stress: 4 = 4, requires at the usage of at least one Impulse die]]

Janet makes a face at the water, and moves it to the side without drinking any. She extends her hand to Jacklyn. "I'ts a pleasure, Jacklyn. So, what brought you here? To this bar, I mean."
She firmly shakes it. Her guitar case is gone.
"Here? I work here. Pretty much live here actually. I do surgery and that sort of thing, was fresh out of med school before I ended up here, you see. It's safe here, safer than a lot of places - this place is under Curfew control, they're kinda like a weird Cinderella-Lovecraft themed Mafia. So all the Nightmares here either work for it."
She gestures to the reptilian Nightmares.
"Or are protected by it."
She gestures at the barkeeper.
"They're fine with humans, 'pparently they're lead by one, that's why. Well that's my spiel, what else you wanna know? Bet you've got plenty of questions, right?"
She sighs.
"Okay fine. A whiskey, put it on my tab."
A whiskey is served.
"Please don't drink too much."

Janet looks sheerly ecstatic at the whiskey, and takes a swig before talking. "Oh man, that's the stuff.But yeah, I do have a.... lot of questions. Where is.... here? And what are these.... Nightmares? How do they even exist? Is there a way back?"

Considering how F***ing unnatural that thing is, I guess I might as well try to Run through the wall... Not like it could dig me a deeper hell hole then the one I'm already in... (1_Impulse)
