But does she KNOW she has an audience?

Enter existential crisis.

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.

((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 ))

I'm happy if folks want to speculate openly in the thread; it's fun to hear what you're thinking so far, and helps me keep tabs on what bits folks are grabbing onto, and what points folks have missed so far. Folks missed a few things I was actually worried were too obvious, which is honestly helping me find the happy medium between subtlety and obscurity, and improving our author-audience communications! That said, I'm not gonna respond to theories or answer plot questions or whatever directly; better to leave that to the story itself! :3

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

Also OceanSoul, that's a clever idea! I absolutely don't mind a derail here and there, but you might have better luck starting a discussion in the Gamer's Block thread. A lot of folks (including me!) frequent it; it's a good place for shooting the breeze about forum game mechanics, sharing clever ideas with the community, worldbuilding, etc.

I knew about the Block threads- I read through each of them when I was still lurking the forums, and I keep up to date. I guess I'll go quote it over there.

I am blunt, ma'am. :I
I mean, it's like only 3 minutes have literally (actually) passed since we first dreamed and were all D: about our clothing stature. But 3 minutes literally had passed.

Also I decided to be a silly mouse and copied the Doc's note and cross-colored every color/hue in the lettering to more contrasting colors on a black background and I got nothing of a hidden image

Spoiler: That, and doing that defeated my curiosity that 'seeing the bigger note can help decrypt it further. (click to show/hide)

I made it into a link.

Grumble grumble Solifuge and her acute hue perception. Those were four colors! D:< (I remember that one thread where you did a test and had a very high score on hue perception and very minute contrast difference checking)

So...I'm all for just going through the door and testing our weight with just TWO bars (just to kick dreaming and giving general details).

But yeah, if there's anything obvious (like FASHION or CLOTHING or things like that), I'm missing it.

And before we do other stuff, can you read what's on our vitals monitor thing?
And quickly note what those 3 rectangular things on the wall are.

Then wait a bit until the clock moves...until probably 2:40, and then peek outside the arched door.

[OceanSoul]

..you're right. You ARE missing it! Her clothes ARE different now! Even the hair!

Realize this.
Edit: Also, check Character Status. Who knows what could have changed?
Edit2:Check inventory, too.

..you're right. You ARE missing it! Her clothes ARE different now! Even the hair!

O_o

Spoiler: Image comparison (click to show/hide)

Before

Now

It's the lighting We've still got the same colors (I'm under the impression that the green part is hair dye), different clothes, and all under the assumption that weird stuff happened.
But point there too. I like how she has a lighter shade of hair. . .that requires investigating?

[OceanSoul]

I just realized, when we 'woke up'  in here, the doctor was in the middle of talking to us. What was she saying before we started hearing her? And did the burning smell have anything to do with the electrocution?
Also, I realized that our last heart of health was shrunk from the electricity. It may be sorta-permanently lost.

Edit: One more thing-Check if we actually remember any language. Reading, writing, AND speaking.((crosses fingers))

Bump

wait a minute this could only mean one thing ..... you are being abducted by aliens gaaaaaahhhhhhh!
freak out and take their disquises off

[TheBiggerFish]

Hey, does anyone here actually know how to cryptanalysis?  I still think that note has data in it.

[Solifuge]

Hey y'all. Trying to be marginally more responsible, so I'm posting a quick heads-up for ya.

I'm kinda having a bad time as of late. Nothing to worry over, but it's made it hard to put the time I need into creative side stuff like this. My heart is still in this project. Once things are better, I very much want to continue; I refuse to let this be stuck in the intro forever! I just need to take care of some life things first.

Much love all, and a sincere thank you for your patience, and continued interest in telling this dumb weird story with me.

[TheBiggerFish]

*hugs Solifuge*

Hope things get better.

This is a Dream, Therefore we can Control it.
Your friend showed you how to do that, right?
Sit on the ground - fold your legs, then find your center.
Start little - float the scalpels, that are surely in the drawers in the air, ready to attack anything that is coming near us.
