God fucking damnit

>>3380754

Flee upstairs, use the Keycard on the door. Throw champagne bottle at case as you leave room.

>>3380757
You're a cockbag. I don't take part in the Ruby threads, but this is a better use of the board than 90% of the posts here. Stop crying. /tg/ was never pure.

>>3380763
Champagne bottle is for later; throw something less necessary. Otherwise, good idea.

>>3380767

trying to think of better thrown object. Cane is too useful, shovel head is wedged onto cane.

>>3380766
Stop replying to sagefags. This is what they look for, your complaints are what they aim to get.
Fucking 4chan 101.

Run upstairs! Use the card on reader at the high-security door!

>>3380774 That takes too much time. Just run for now. If we have too we can go back to the room upstairs and go back down the pipe. Ace can't follow us there so at least we can avoid him for a short period of time if we have too. for now back upstairs.

I want to say open the case upstairs and throw the fetus statue at Ace... but I have no idea badly that would end..

>>3380759
Ruby and Tom run upstairs. The large figure follows in hot pursuit.
Tom runs to use the HIGH CLEARANCE ACCESS CARD on the door.
Ruby and Tom take this opportunity to mentally review their respective inventories.

>>3380789

The first aid kit! We emptied it! Toss it at the cast as we leave!

If the door don't give up, kick the case then run upstairs and close hatch. Hopefuly it will kill Ace.

>>3380792

Yeah, extra weight is last thing we need

>>3380798

Don't kick it. We don't want to be near it. We want ACE near it.

TURN the VALVE on the OXYGEN TANK.
SET the TANK near the CASE
IGNITE RELEASED OXYGEN

We still have EMPTY MEDKIT BOX. We can throw that to break the case and activate whatever nasty security business is waiting on Ace. We must be sure we're on the other side of the door when we do so, However, and then we must retreat like hell.

>>3380792
NO! It's a container we can seal. that's too handy.
>>3380793
Considering he took a crowbar to the knee and wasn't phased. knocking him upside the head won't help.

Hes in hot pursuit, so we don't have time for anything fancy

>>3380807

ignite with what? we don't have matches or a lighter

>>3380797
It's not ace.

The large figure appears in the doorway. Tom is still opening the door.

>>3380814

It's high clearance: Chances are it'll open everything.

>>3380815

We heard. Let them call it whatever they want.

>>3380810
plus likely if it has a mask, it's a breathable mix, not pure oxygen.

Wait. Wait.

Okay, there was something about poisonous gas with the monitor room.

You have oxygen.

Does Ace breathe?

DON'T BREAK THE CASE

>>3380809
It's the least useful object we have, and I bet whatever security measure is in place will at least slow Ace down (I hardly expect it to kill him, he's nigh-invincible as far as I can tell). We'll want to wait till Ace is next to the case though to throw.

Enter Room, close door behind us, locking if possible

>>3380820

Are you suggesting what I think you are?

But how can we get the aceless Ace to break the fetus case?

(that rhymed!)

>>3380797

That picture came before this thread... but thats the same weapon as he's holding now. wtf

Give Ace a hug.

>>3380826
or the security will kill everyone in the room

Don't throw the first aid

>>3380820
If it were Spade, wouldn't there be a ♠ on his chest?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

If we somehow get into the room Tom's opening, QUICKLY examine everything.

>>3380830
Its just a nod to the fanart.

>>3380816

We have to throw, and Hope Tom gets the door open in Time. WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU TOM.

>>3380792
>The first aid kit! We emptied it! Toss it at the cast as we leave!
Ruby hurls the empty case as Tom finally gets the door open and rushes through.

Stab Ace with air-filled syringe if the chance comes up. If we're lucky he'll die of an embolism.

>>3380848

GET OUT OF THERE RUBY!

>>3380841

That's not a crossbow.

That's a reference.

>>3380829

Well, assuming that the poison gas is going to be a negotiable hazard in the future, using the air tank to survive is a no brainer. If the gas can be used to dispose of Pyramid Head, go for it.

throw the medical box at the case as we go through the door

The empty first aid kit smashes the glass on the security-protected display case.

ok, ok. It's not crossbow. Deleting my "it's a crossbow", you delete your "it's not crossbow".

Uh-oh.

Better close that door FAST and brace for impact!

I think these animals are fucked.

>>3380870
As a precautionary method in case of gas, ready the OXYGEN TANK to breathe from if necessary.

>>3380870
BEWARE, I LIVE

>>3380881

getting the hell out of the room should be sufficient

>>3380870

Ruby and Tom - FLEE!

Audience- prepare for show, ready popcorn.

Here's hoping it explodes, and doesn't just make a poison gas.

Y'know, I'm extremely worried about that fetus. It might be a chibi-sized cosmic horror or something.

Even if we get the Spadeless (a nice name, ain't it?) out with it, it might just open a new, bigger can of worms for us.

Ruby rushes through the door after Tom as a lethal trap springs from the mechanical guts of the display case.

>>3380909
In b4 "TOM : TAKE HOOK THING

>>3380909

How long do we reckon we have before Ace is after us again? given people REFUSE TO STAY DEAD in this place.

Look around NEW ROOM.

Tom return to fetus room and bludgeon Ace-like bird with BLUDGEONY CANESHOVEL

retrieve SPIKEY GRAPNEL OF DOOM

Tom: Give Ruby a well-deserved pat on the back for her very well-aimed throw.

Then examine the room.

>>3380909

Close the door behind you. He may be bleed.

But that doesn't mean he didn't die.

>>3380909
Grab his weapon, and KILL HIM MORE

Huzzah (In before it only inconvenienced him).

EXAMINE new room while Tom closes door if possible. If not, observe Ace carefully for any signs of continued life and movement.

Keep an eye on Ace to make sure that he doesn't get back up. It'll be kinda inconvenient if he suddenly appears while Ruby and Tom are exploring.

>>3380930

Surely it's disarmed now? Any lethal protective trap like that is intended to kill the thief and then allow the actual owners to get at it to put it back together. Oh well, to be safe stand well clear of the case and only handle stuff on it with the BLUDGEONY CANESHOVEL.

if we're even going to try grabbing the hook, tie something to a string and hook it,then reel it back.

No way are we stopping, lets just try and find out what's going on and get out of here, no sitting around examining something whilst silent alarms are going off and more are on the way.

Cast sheet.

Ace does not necessarily require the spade mark.

Don't bludgeon. Dismember. Cut his fucking head off with the shovel.

[slow down a little, folks, you're going a mile a minute]
Ruby and Tom quickly shut the door behind them and observe the new room.

>>3380958
This sheet is from Wednesday or so.

Just a reminder. Doing great so far.

>>3380968
MULTIVAX

Try the staff on the second door from the right. (Or is it the third?)

Oh shi-
Prepare weapons. Doom 3 scene.

>>3380968

Examine clipboard on wall

>>3380968

is that a clock at the top

sagesagesagesage

>>3380968

Examine JAR.
Examine NOTE ON THE WALL

>>3380968
SYMBOL matches STAFF.

Tom and Ruby take a moment to get your breath back and examine room

Ruby: Compare/use STAFF on the door with the symbol that looks like the staff on it

Tom steps over a CHASM in the floor to approach the CLIPBOARD hanging on the wall.

Ruby inspects the JAR. Inside, some sort of very strange, fleshy growth is suspended in some kind of solution. It is covered in what looks like veins and knotted muscle.

That was a shaft?

Look down what lies below. As soon as you're finished with what you're doing now.

>>3381011

Stare into the Chasm

>>3381011
Use syringe on meatlump. Inject meatlump material into Ace-corpse. Wait for a while, then fire up yakety sax.

>>3381022
We need to open jar somehow first.
And make sure LARGE FIGURE is dead and area is safe.

Number 7 is missing.

...Which number was ruby, and what did she wake up in at the start again?

- Therefore: Have Tom open the handle on the fifth one, the one with the handle?

>>3381026
Ruby was No. 7.

ITS ALL IN THE WIKI AND THE ARCHIVES, GUYS.

>>3381026

Tom is patient 5, ruby is 7.. counting from the left... Brix

Let me guess. Looking into chasm you see remains of Red's "camp".

>>3381022
I LOLd

>>3381011

Oh god! I was scared a moment. That was read as "Tom fell into a chasm"!

Glad he didn't.

Ruby, examine the upright cubbys along the wall. Are they like the coffin you woke in only on end?

Examine the contraption in the background.

>>3381014
>Look down what lies below
...it would appear to be the room Ruby started in, when she first climbed out of her locker.

Don't open anything before examining the wires and the thing on the pipe. Looks way too bomb-like.

Ay-up. Ruby's coffin fell because of something, straight through the floor to the room down below, where she woke up.

THEORY: THERE WILL BE AN EXTRA TOM IN LOCKER 5

Do these locker-like thing look like they could contain the kind of "coffin" Ruby was locked in?

LOOK UP

If this is a room full of coffins maybe we should leave before something gets woken up.

>>3381066

Most, if not all, of them are up already. Ruby and Tom included.

>>3381053
We'll need an extra tom when Ace wakes up.

Tom grabs the CLIPBOARD and reads for yet another expository cutscene.

>>3381081
?
F

>>3381081

We bombed the entrance to that lab

>>3381094

when?

There are only two pages.

Tom gets the feeling there was some inter-departmental feuding going on here.

>>3381104

Red did it, the bomb...

Locker 5 has the handy handle. Check it, find mutant grown from stolen eye!

>>3381106
Arial

Tom was Number 5, true? Maybe he could find himself a new eye from his locker...?

Or maybe not. Still worth checking.

Open Locker 6

Tom tries Locker #5, but the lock, while busted, is jammed. It'll take a bit of force to rip open.
Ruby, meanwhile, examines the clipboard after Tom.

>>3381121
UTF8 E2 99 A0 ♠

>>3381137
Combine Tom's manly physique & locker

>>3381137

Knock on the doors. If one sounds different, there might be something inside.

:3

>>3381137
Is that a button?

You need force to open the locker?

Someone send for the Bludgeony Caneshovel!

Is the jarflesh apparently similar to the skin that covered the cubbyhole in the coffin room?

Can we get more detail of the spokey looking circular design at the top?

>>3381145
but before that check the wiring

>>3381137

Check BUTTON that was hidden underneath a CLIPBOARD

Ruby asks if there is anyone in here

>>3381154

Yeah, and I'm sure Tom has knowledge of an electrician or bomb squad person.... What makes you think he'd be able to find a wire trap, let alone undo it?

>>3381141
>FIRST CHECK THE GODDAMNED WIRING.
Tom and Ruby consult each other on the wiring, but given the construction of the massive piece of machinery, they assume the wires and tubes are for normal operation. It does not APPEAR booby-trapped, as far as they can tell.

>>3381151
>Someone send for the Bludgeony Caneshovel!
Ruby lends Tom her BLUDGEONY CANESHOVEL.
Tom promises to give it right back.

Hmm. We already have have the weird shape that matches locker 6...

Would a combination of Red's Cane/Ace's Multipart Weapon open up locker 3?

Anyway, would it be possible to get a better look at that circular dial above the middle cells? We might have seen something like that elsewhere...

Ruby, step away from that chasm.
Something's gonna grab your ankles.

>>3381163
Look closer, it's not a hook.
It's on different height.

Lets not break the cane shovel.. its still a wooden walking stick with a shovel forced on it. I say Tom should grab the hook weapon ace was using. or at least take a look and see if hes still dead.

>>3381168
Ruby retreats a safe distance from the hole.

>>3381162


Um.....why is the door to the fetus trap room open? Wasn't it closed behind?

Ruby - Look nervously at the doorway into the other room if it opened mysteriously. (as opposed to this being a weaver glitch)

examine gauge on top pipe

That's a button or the clipboard needn't be moved from it's resting place.

apply green staff thing to locker/coffin with similar pattern.

>>3381181

Either a lazy artist or an OHSHI-. Hope it's the former.

Ruby: check mark on top pipe

Is that a dial above those lockers?

Maybe we should take a look at that first, check it out. And if Ruby can examine it from where she is, do that.

Tom springs the door open with a loud metallic rattle.

Locker #5 is empty.
However, something is scrawled onto the door.
In Tom's handwriting.

Tom: Force lock open

>>3381196
TOM: ignore writing.

>>3381196
Tom shut that locker and don't read it's lies

>>3381196
Tom quietly shits his pants.

>>3381196
ruby: laugh awkwardly. press wallbutton as distraction.

TOM: That bitch is out to get you. Elect to keep the BLUDGEONY CANESHOVEL, she would just use it to hurt you, TOM.

>>3381196
Close the Locker door, And act like nothing was there, Don't ignore it how ever. This is something we need to keep in the back of Toms mind. He can't ignore something that might lead to his own death.

I think that's a symbol for.....well......someone.

Fuck anonaive, Tom, be on your guard, you don't know this girl, she got you out of the cage and it's all been downhill since then; the zombie came out of nowhere after she left, she poisoned you, that guy was after her. Sure, you might be able to nail her, but just =be careful=.

You don't know that text was planted

>>3381212
Tom, ignore that voice. She promised you a date, remember?

That was from pre-amnesia. It's possible that Ruby has done something to hurt Tom before, but she wouldn't do anything to him anymore.

They're pals now.

>>3381217
7, the one on the end. the one that's ripped out, and was one floor below at the very start (with ruby in it)

>>3381196
Oh you. Tom and Ruby decided not to hold any secrets anymore. Tom should show the writing to Ruby. He should say that he trusts her now.

TOM : show Ruby handwriting, after all, you've already seen each other's secrets, why would you not keep it that way ?

>>3381219
You don't know that her memory isn't just surpressed; we already know she is transforming.

Tom closes the locker quickly.
Ruby asks if Tom found anything useful inside.

She also wants to try opening locker #6 with the cane device.

>>3381219
You know who else were pals?

Judas and Jesus.
Horus and the Emperor.
Julius and Brutus.

They were all PALS.

>>3381196
What is this, Planescape: Torment?

>>3381229

Use ANCIENT STAFF with LOCKER 6

Tell Ruby about the writing. Discuss about it openly, throw around some theories, then move on to locker 6.

TOM: "It was...empty. Just an empty cell."

RUBY: Nod, and use staff on door 6

REMEMBER THE POISONED FISH!

>>3381232
you know what the nameless one did after he found out? he confronted morte, that's what he did.

tell ruby.

>>3381230

SUPERMAN and JIMMY OLSEN

MY GOD RUN AWAY

1129: This is awesome and you were asleep.

>>3381229
Tom step back and let Ruby open Red's box

>>3381245
Ruby, read me again what it says on my back.

Tom: Just openly ask Ruby about it.
Ruby: Shrug and say "I don't trust myself either."

is that a hook the clipboard was on, or a buttan?

>>3381257
Check their height.
It's not a hook.

Tom should mention the warning.

Ruby should tell Tom that she truly and genuinely cares for him and has nothing more to hide. But she should also tell him that if a third eye can remain hidden inside of her there is no telling if she won't suddenly lose control of herself, and that she understands if he would want to be on his guard, as will she.

NO SECRETS!

Ruby opens Cell #6 by setting the ODD STAFF into the carved recess on the front of it.

Inside there is a large electrical switch labeled "2".

Look, so far, Ruby and Tom have saved each other several times, compare this to random reports and writings on the wall which are at most, unreliable.

>>3381263
flip switch

>>3381263

Uh-oh. Don't listen to it, Tom! She's trustworthy. And you love her.

>>3381263
I DO NOT LIKE THAT LOOK TOM IS GIVING RUBY

Don't pull the switch!

I'm hoping this 7 is just a 1 on the side.

Also flip the switch

>>3381263
Ruby: Don't pull the switch till you've checked all the other locker/coffins
Tom: Cheer up fella

>>3381263

Use ANCIENT STAFF on CELL 3

>>3381263
That's right Tom, remember the fish. Remember what depth perception was like? That eye sure smarts dont it?

Pull switch.

AND PREPARE TO RUN IF NAMELESS HORRORS APPEAR.

TOM: Stop that crazy bitch from pulling the switch! we don't know what it does yet!

>>3381267
>flip switch
Ruby flips the switch, but nothing seems to happen.

Meanwhile, Tom examines the BUTTON on the wall.
SHOULD TOM PUSH THE SHINY BUTTON?
I WONDER WHAT THE PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO SAY

>>3381278
And exactly who put a bandage on it, huh ?

Tom.. quickly check the other lockers. See if any of them can be opened (never know what you might find.) while keeping an eye on the rabbit.

Ruby:Pull Ze switch perhaps?

Let Ruby step away from giant metal with flowing electricity BEFORE hitting shiny button.

>>3381288

No! Wait for Ruby to get away from the lockers!

Don't risk her now Tom, she helped you run from Ace!

FFFFFFFFFFFFASGEYTYF yeah I think we should press it but run like hell if something bad happens.

Button + Switch? Bad, I say. Especially how Weaver is clearly trying to warn us.

Pull the switch, but don't press the button.

And tell Ruby about the writing. NO SECRETS! YOU PROMISED!

>>3381288

Ok, minor railroading here, but what the hell.

TOM: push button

"The flock that could not work together
Are sure still trapped in Hell."

>>3381288
well, there's nothing else to do. push the switch. but stay away from the goddamn lockers, some unknown horror might appear from one of the lockers.

>>3381288
fondle button, until ruby notices

Stop, we're wasting time; we should see if we can get out through upstairs again, instead of messing with buttons. That could be an ALARM

>>3381306
I agree with this: was there another way out of the room with the eye poster?

Those inciting mistrust just want to get Tom killed.

>>3381288
Tom should wear heavy gloves before pushing any buttons.

NO SECRETS.
Also, a breather. Check the rooms. Retrieve crowbar. Search Ace's body. Try to crowbar the locker up the ladder unlocked. Don't go pressing buttons you have no clue about.

Definitely be open about the writing. Division and mistrust is bad, bad stuff in a place like this. They need to be on the same page.

>>3381308
This is pure speculation based on the fact everyone wants "HAPPY RUBY TOM YAY LUFF!" You've put no baring on the fact that, for all intents and purposes he's just sticking with the first person out of blind trust, and it has gotten him into all kinds of shit, remember the blood?

Ruby: Get away from the lockers, stand by door.

Tom: Press switch, and get all set to run if needed. Across the gap to the door if possible, or down the hole in the floor if that isn't possible afterwards.

Tom, didn't that kiss mean anything? Are you going to dismiss it just because of some writings on the wall?

>>3381300
Tom waits for Ruby to step away from the cells before pressing the BUTTON.

A panel opens up in the wall, revealing a PNEUMATIC TUBE.

A SEVERED HAND falls out of the pneumatic tube.

Split up time, Tom gose up the ladder in the next room while Ruby plays with switches and buttons

It's the one Ruby posted in the beginning! Oh joy!

>>3381322

we sure do have a lot of hands..

>>3381306
Seconded. And ALARM here means DEADLY NEUROTOXIN.

>>3381311
This is not true of me; I am inciting mistrust becauseI beleive Tom, as a person, would more than understandably feel it, he doesn't -KNOW- Ruby, he only felt a kinship, now he has finally had a moment to stop and go "why?".

I want Tom to live. I am Pro Tom, and I am Pro Tom being a person, not just your hug accessory to fall in love with without any consideration of character.

>>3381322
"What the..."
"I can explain that, really."
"Well?"
"....I got nothing."

use hand to pat tom on the back for a job well done.

>>3381322

Take hand back down to scanner.

Bypass the hallway through the hole in the floor if they can find a way down and back up.

Assuming that there's another switch behind the other panel, pulling both of them at once probably does something.

As for the button, there's no telling what it'll do, and considering the sheer amount of blood in the room it's safe to assume the room is dangerous.

LISTEN for ACE WANNABE. Knock on the door to see if you can get his attention. While unlikely, the weapon he's holding might actually be the key to the other panel.

Tom: Lift Ruby up to examine the dial that's above the lockers.

Grab hand, go to palm reader downstairs to use it.
Search Ace's body (if any) on the way.

I don't think they should have pulled either =P but considering the clipboard with info on the critters was ON the button, it seems like an official button.

Of course, it's probably necessary ;D

time is of the essence guys.

>>3381335

It's Ace. He's listed as ace on the character sheet. He stopped going by 'spade' on official documents.

>>3381322
Take hand and go up ladder keeping away from Ace's body if it's still there

>>3381334
>Take hand back down to scanner.
Tom grabs the SEVERED HAND.

Might as well get going.

>>3381349
Careful when going by Ace's body... if it's still there. dun dun dun

Give Ruby a high 25

>>3381356

If it's still there, laying on its own pool of blood, everything's fine. If it's NOT... Dun dun dun.

Also tell her about the writing already.

Yeah let's go back to the man who took a crowbar to the leg and may have survived Red's bomb. I'm sure sharp needles took care of him.

TOM GRAB A GODDAMN AIR TANK BEFORE CONTINUING!!! I DOUBT YOU CAN SHARE IN EVENT OF GAS.

>>3381349
Ruby needs to look in #5 once Tom has left.

>>3381363
His corpse still may have a tendence to swing that weapon of his around.

>>3381348
A) you've not been in that situation, you've not known anyone who has, you've got no place to judge it for fictional characters and neither do I.
B) you're a tripfag, stop being even more of an attention whore and take this discussion elsewhere because we're moving on with the game (delete yours, I'll delete mine)
C) He's been fixating, but now he's had a break and has gotten a note from himself to be wary. It's time to accept that as a person, he has just been given the wake up call. You can't change that just because of how you want the story to go, you're not roleplaying ruby and tom, we're telling them what to do, and they are interpreting it as weaver sees fit. It's not mine or yours to discuss, it's weavers call.

>>3381330
Tom as a person is only alive because Ruby and Tom have helped each other, if she wanted him dead, she would've left him to rot with no antidote, certainly, she gave him the fish in the first place, but it's kind of hard to claim she had any foreknowledge.

She could've also sent him a vial of fucking ACID instead of the antidote.

Tom is not a hug-toy, he's one of the halves of a great team.

over 200 post, AUTOSAGING

...this could be bad.

I told you? Dun dun dun.

Ruby: Grab statue

>>3381373

>He's been fixating, but now he's had a break and has gotten a note from himself to be wary. It's time to accept that as a person, he has just been given the wake up call.

As someone who supports the idea of Tom keeping the message to himself, this is a bit bogus. Tom already knows that there's more to Ruby than either of them know about, and he knows that there's more to himself than he knows about. He's seen how frightened she is of what she might be, and had her confide in him about some of the freaky things going on with her without needing to push her into it.

Of course, with the way she handled the 'deceased' thing, it's probably not in -her- best interest for Tom to tell her that he told himself not to trust her.

>>3381375
The treatment *was* acid.

Ruby : Ask for the shovelcane, poke the statue with it from the side

>>3381384
yes, but a minor acid that actually cures poisoning, not the purple turbo death acid that some batch of 'tards kept banging on about being "TEH CURE, IT MUST BE BECUASE IT IS THERE."

I can't tell, did he go to the med closet or downstairs?

>>3381382
if its the Tom support convention here then I agree with the other guy that Tom should be thinking about who gave the fish and all the horrible things that only turned up after ruby appeared

>>3381378

Use the pipe route instead.

>>3381400
except I said we should delete our posts douche

So far so good.

Is everyone forgetting about the kiss? I think Tom now holds such feelings towards her that can't be broken by something he scribbled on the wall and can't remember anymore.

He should tell her.

Tom and Ruby return to the room with the handscanner.

There is a mousehole under the shutters.

CAREFULLY look through it.

>>3381409
He got shot down. Kiss don't equal love, you saw Tom's reaction to being asked about the condom? He's Jay from Dogma, he wants to get a bit of poontang,

...Go up the ladder. It's the only direction with no bloodstains

>>3381415

Bugger. What happened to our leathery friend?

>>3381396

>all the horrible things that only turned up after ruby appeared.

If not for Ruby, Tom would be now rotting in his cell, or dead after pushing the wrong buttons.

BTW, this is RUBY Quest, we control Ruby, we can give commands to Tom because Ruby ask Tom to do those things and he trusts her. We can't make Tom to do things by his own.

Maybe Ace is going to some specific place to regenerate? Possibly back down on the lower level?

>>3381416

It had the case card in it. Read the earlier threads.

>>3381415

Scan that Hand.

>>3381416
You are forgetting previous threads. Refresh your memory.
>>3381415
Carefully LISTEN TO YOUR SURROUNDING!
Footsteps, water dripping, anything!

>>3381426
2/10
>>3381288

You would have got me if it wasn't for that post.

>>3381415
Use HAND, watch CUTSCENE

>>3381409
he might not be following what he wrote, but he knows that saying it was written may damage what relationship he already has, I think Tom is keeping quiet out of fear of losing Ruby, Hes alone, probably afraid like she is, and knows he'll need her support to get out of here.

TL;DR Tom is trying to avoid upsetting Ruby.

>>3381426

That was the case originally. At some point Tom became a PARTY MEMBER or something to that effect; we can control him directly now.

>>3381446 walkie talkies

>>3381446
because of the radio. it's only for convenience.

>>3381443

That would be true, but they've also promised that there'd be no more secrets, not to mention trading secrets far more horrible than this one. Ruby won't leave Tom just because of some note, especially when they need each other.

Why is no one except >>3381425
worried by the missing dummy?

Where did Ace's blood stains go to?

>>3381457

IRC is freaking out

>>3381440
>Use HAND, watch CUTSCENE
TOM scans the SEVERED HAND and begins the CUTSCENE as video playback initializes.

>>3381457
IRC is going fucking insane

Ooh, F. That's like, Red's superior? Who chopped him up and around?

>>3381465

Me.

>>3381461

Oct. 27, two days before Ruby's "accident". The Day that Red said 'everything changed'

>>3381462
That's the best way.

[cutscene]

That's Ruby and Tom on the picture! And Stitches!

Wow, they sure were happy back then, it'd seem.

>>3381493

Figure on far right has a birdlike-head, and figure to the right of Ruby has hound-like ears. Can't tell where the figure second from the right begins or ends, though...

[cutscene.]

The one directly right from Ruby, the doggy-ears, is clearly the zombie that attacked her when Tom was sick!

>>3381503
inB4 mindfuck

Aw crap. My "they're all a family" theory might be coming true. =(

>>3381508

Brace for incest.

>>3381508
likelyhood of them being as close as a family is higher than them actually being one.

My theory: they built some sort of research facility and then turned on each other due to zombie outbreak, then the ones that stayed normal found a cure, and then got killed by tom and ruby because of their obvious memory loss.

[cutscene]

>>3381526
why so serious red?

>>3381526
And then ruby was the zombies.

Who else but Ruby...?

>>3381526
..I did not see that one coming..

>>3381532
JUST KIDDING!

...Oh dear.

This is going to create some friction in their teamwork.

Also no wonder Spadeless wants Ruby dead.

>>3381526
Ruby just tore off his motherfucking ear.

Everyone except Red seems to be in the photo. Red probably arrived late to the project and got socially rejected by some subjects (most probably Ruby). This made him go insane and he made his own "special family" that consisted only of him. He then started to sow conflict between the participants of the project which finally ended in him killing Ruby.

>>3381526
Tom, that pussy better be worth it.

And Then Ace was one of the good guys and we were the villains.

>>3381544

There are 7 subjects and 6 people in the photo.

Red WAS NOT a subject.

>>3381544
YOU'RE RATIONALIZING, TOM

People, keep in mind this happened AFTER the "treatment"

>>3381554

Hence the "why so serious?"

Man this is great.

[cutscene.]

Okay, both Ruby and Tom need to look at this rationally. Being openly hostile helps nothing. And what they did before losing their memories is currently less relevant than what they've done post-amnesia, as well as their own survival.

Perhaps Ruby had, in that video, gone insane from the treatment, and by now she's been cured. She's no longer a danger: Just a kind bunny girl.

Holyshit I didn't see what was so great about these until I started following this one.

>>3381558
sorry, I miss quoted

>>3381543
see
>>3381532
Looks more like slicing cheeks, it's why Red has such a wide mouth full of teeth when in monster mode

so, Ruby messed up Red's mouth, who later took revenge by killing Ruby?

>>3381560
MAKE EM SMILE FROM EAR
TO EAR

>>3381571

Read the journal. There's more to it than that.

and now Tom must complete the cycle and kill Ruby.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

hm. the ace on the shirt only shows up in video recordings.

>>3381571

It wasn't revenge, read the journals.

PS: Ruby tore Red's face with the Hook, FUCK YEAH!

and she does it with a hook no less, that would explain why she's so handy with said weapon

[cutscene]

>>3381574
>>3381581
ah, sorry. just got up, braindead.
pretty awesome plot twist nonetheless.

[cutscene.]

>>3381585

Holy shit, he looks concerned, not angry.

This is an awesome plot tweest.

>>3381525
I want to draw your attention to one keyword.
The room called "Brig" was EXCAVATED.

>>3381592
surely you would be concerned if a friend just tore your head open.

Tom ... maybe ... you should go. I don't want to hurt you ...

HUG TOM, that's traumatizing stuff man

>>3381603
I think HUG TOM would lead to a BAD END right now...

It appears there is more than one video queued up.
[cutscene.]

resist urge to hug tom

Aw man, I feel so fucking sorry for Red now, look at this expression.

Prior to when shit went down, they were all good people.
Then, well, treatments to help/do something with the patients, and they all go bonkers.

And whenever Ruby fought plant-zombie stitches she used the hook in a similar manner. Very clever, I like it!

I hoe Tom's not going to abandon Ruby now, not when she needs a shoulder to cry and a comforting friend more than ever.

>>3381603
Also cry, use your girlish figure and psychological blackmail to appeal to his manly physique and sentimentality by playing up the victim. You're lost and cute and you have a fluffy but and you is scared and sad and need many arm hugs.

>>3381603

'Hey look! I brutally disfigured Red. Let's hug!'

Good plan, Batman.

maybe homicidal behaviour is a secondary effect of the "Treatment". Just like Stitches and the Hound.

>>3381614

But she doesn't remember it. For such a sweet person, uncovering that kind of horrible stuff from her past is seriously traumatizing. Tom can't abandon her now.

[cutscene.]

>>3381614

It was just a Cap'n hook impersonation gone tragically wrong. The hook's label advised against giving it to blind people, but sadly, they couldn't read it to know.

Nobody there won that day.

Tom, hug Ruby with shovelcane. It's time to start TomQuet.

>>3381621
Hug tom. In the crotch. With your face.

Aww shit, no. This is getting seriously bad and depressing.

"how tom lost his eye..."

>>3381621
i don't like where this is going.

>>3381606

*before last video*

RUBY: Munch popcorn

TOM: Pull the good ol' arm stretch maneuver

*after last video*

RUBY: Quietly put popcorn down.

TOM: Withdraw arm. Take one full step towards the door.

[cutscene]

>>3381635

I like where this is going.

This is going to end HORRIBLY

>>3381635
unwarranted erection

Or maybe it is going better. Those smiles I like.

Please don't make it worse Weaver... Please...

>>3381635
goes where?

>>3381637

No. You are not going no like it.

>>3381640

>>Weaver

>>Not make it worse

Oh dear.

[cutscene.]

>>3381652

OH YEAH

Yes!

>>3381652
FUCK! she's a zombie! she's going to eat him!

>>3381652
Tom is smaller than Ruby?

"how ruby lost her virginity... and tom lost an eye"

>>3381635
RUBY: Use Shovelcane on monitor, "nothing to see here"

>>3381656
>>3381657

>>3381652
SHE'S SUCKING OUT HIS EYE JESUS CHRIST

>>3381652

And then she bites Tom's tongue off.

Oh Fuck! Noko all the way

...Why did F record hot Ruby Tom pr0n?

You fools, Tom lost an eye when he got taken away by the spadeless Ace or something like that, not prior to that.

>>3381683

F stands for furry.

>>3381683

Because he's a lecherous voyeur.

>>3381635
Oh fuck, Weaver don't do it..
>>3381652

CHOO CHOO! ALL ABOARD THE WEAVER TRAIN!

The symbol at the top of the eye poster is the same as on the pipe above the lockers.

Tom doesn't seem to mind Ruby being flat as a plank :)

Scientists are testing out an experimental method to cure disabilities/disfiguements (down syndrome, muscle dystrophy, blindness, etc). However, they need "test" subjects and aren't evil/insane enough to kidnap people, so they start searching for volunteers instead. They find a 3 person family that is willing to submit themselves to the testing. While the man of the house (Tom) is a normal person, his wife (Ruby) is blind: not to mention that their child was born horribly disfigured. Ruby and Tom happily submit themselves and their child (no idea yet) as test subjects in hope that they are healed and can live a normal life. At the facility is also another patient (stitches) in for treatment (dunno exactly what his disfigurement could of been).

Things go according to plan for awhile, until harmful side effects start manifesting in the test subjects (aggression, paranoia, schizophrenia, etc). These side effects eventually develop into full blown mutations. The mutations vary depending on the intensity of the treatment the patient was subjected to.

Tom gets dinosaur hands after his original hands were healed when he got them cut off by getting them stuck in the Z hatch.

Ruby has third eye after getting her blindness cured.

Red has huge gaping tooth filled maw after getting the slash in his cheek healed, etc.
