Oh! I know how those scales work! You just slide the two weights back and forth until the thing balances. You should totally try that, Maria.

+1

There's a better way for folks who have no idea what for

Pay attention to what happened when you stepped on it. The bar-thingy acted like a lever and slammed up and down.
It looks like a metallic bar of a ruler so the stuff on it must make sense, and the numbers probably mean my weight given it acted when I stepped on it.
...Probably recall the best memory of own weight--for our size, it may be around 50 (I mean unless nothing at all comes to mind, there's at least an idea for others for comparison)
Second paragraph aside, notice three metal bars. One with a fat weight, measuring in the hundreds, one with a middle-fat weight, in tens, and one that's tiny in ones. Unless there's something WEIRD LIKE THAT READING BACK THERE, this should be apparent.

Next, go find a manual on how to work this out.

Spoiler: But since we're random thoughts booping our protagonist... (click to show/hide)

> Slide everything to the area nearest to where those metal-ruler-bars are connected (if there's a digit and NOT WEIRD SYMBOLS, it's the 0 mark). Step on the weighing pad.
> Try out the 100 (OR THE NEAREST POINT FOR THE FATTEST WEIGHT), if the bar drops, reset.
> Try out the middle bar going from the nearest 10th interval downwards until the bar doesn't drop. If the bar doesn't drop at a certain point, and drops at any point previous, don't touch that bar anymore and move to the smallest bar.
> Jiggle around that smallest bar at differing intervals to get your approximate weight. When the bar doesn't slam down or slam up, but balances out, that's the approximate. If it's filled with STRANGE SYMBOLS, at least you'll know what it is since we have a basis.

Can you see your nose?

Also take a tiny peek outside the door--very inconspicuously...like the shy person you are! With courage!

Also, why do we need to know how much we weigh?

Just take my +1 already.

Dreams aren't usually that specific Yea, even for those who may have memory retention scenarios--I've read about them xD
Although, perhaps, this one takes artistic libery--and even then, I don't want to be spoilsporting things by adding in stuff

Althoughalthough I do presume that this character is creative and DOES use it very well, hence my post up there about lotsa stuff. . .mostly out of personal experience with that thing when I was 6. While I kept banging it against the bar while stepping up and down (because it was a one-stair stairs!), I liked seeing the bar and began playing with it until a friendly nurse helped me out. The stuff in spoiler is a paraphrased rendition of what she told me. Though...it's fuzzy after 15 or so years later.

Anyway-uh yeah. We're either in a dream or some memory stuff, since the LAST thing that happened was ULTRASHOCK so much that we saw our healthy calcium-enriched skeletal structure.

[NUKE9.13]

I don't know what you people are talking about, that note seems perfectly legible to me.

Anyway.

>Look for anything else to read and see if it is in the same language.
>Also, go see 'friend'

[ShadowHammer]

Hmmm... a very interesting development. I love that attention to detail in the clocks!

Wow, that made me go back and check the clocks, and it actually did change between updates. Not hugely, just in a "minute or two has past" kinda way consistent with the updates. Hecka attention to detail.

Give it another five minutes, and if no nurse appears go find our friend. Who is definitely probably not an alien bodysnatcher, which we are also definitely probably not ourselves.

+1, and also, look at the letter a little bit more completely (ie, could we get a look at the whole message?).

I think you all are being extremely rude about this. Obviously Maria does not want to weigh herself in front of an audience this big. Respect the feelings of this fictional character!

Yeah, this is how I feel.

Resolve existential crisis by remembering how silly your thoughts are, and that we're your thoughts, and you're okay with it.

Roll for resolve.

Me too I wasn't asking for exacts. I was poking 'is this a dream'. Didn't mean to be mean though!

((Are you SURE we're just her thoughts? Games like this could easily incorporate our existance into the plot. From what I've read of The Warrens of Oric the Awesome so far, it may be the case there))

((Too many of us Also if that were the case, we'd all be plushie kitty. That said, it's too early to assume that so we're staying as thoughts in the meantime ))

[OceanSoul]

((Y'know, that gives me an idea. Probably a bad one, though.

It's a combination of suggestion game and normal, PC per player game. The players would be shattered parts of some person's psyche, who could no longer act on their own. Players would possess an object in the world, while giving what remains of his consciousness directions (the suggestions), so that we could keep him safe until we found a way to get back in his mind. If a player is successful in defending the man, or he takes your suggestion, you become a bigger part of his psyche, gaining power (experience and levels) for your personal physical body.
I know this isn't the place to ask this sort of thing, but what do you guys think?))
