All the manikins and little prop houses are exactly where they always were.

You haven't gotten into any weird-ass situations lately, just the same old routine. Wake up, see what food and clothes they gave you today, try to keep yourself entertained, maybe get drunk if they were nice enough to give you the option. Same old, same old. I mean, you know it's not exactly a TRADITIONAL household, but you...uh...

....hm. You've never really heard of anyone living like this from the internet, come to think of it. And you get this weird feeling like you've thought these things before.

>>35806847
You don't really know who they are. They just do things. Sometimes you wake up with new clothes, and old ones missing. They always leave you food and water and medicine, and sometimes fun new things. Toys and machines and booze. If you don't use them, they take them away. You use your computer a lot so it stays in your room. And they make sure you always wake up healthy and clean every morning, no matter what happened to you through the day.

Abilities? Importance? None that you can really think of.

>>35807020
Have I seen these things before, or are they just a presence that I infer from my environment changing?

It seems like we're the plaything of some kind of god.

Do we ever leave the house? Do we ever go outside? Are the things given to us random, or do we have some bearing on what gets delivered?

>>35807020
They make sure that you survive. That is good. That is what they're paid for, no doubt. Why not exit the room and explore? Alternatively, check out what else is in your room that you could do.

You guess that...they're just an inference? You're not sure. You're kind of forgetful. Especially about this kind of stuff. But you remember...something about some sort of breakthrough about that? Or maybe it was just something you were going to try. Like, making up imaginary characters who talked in your head who could remember stuff for you. That might have been it.

Of course you've gone outside before, the door's right there.

>>35807056
>>35807067
>>35807132
You resolve to go out, and open up the door. Right in front of the manhole leading down to ground level is the old familiar plaque.

You're feeling a little uneasy, so you bring the corkscrew with you.

You climb down the dark shaft and hop the last few rungs. The astroturf feels nice on your feet.

You have this vague recollection that messing up the scene outside is some sort of bad idea, but you can't recall why. You don't know if that means you should avoid it and just go exploring, or test it out to see what happens.

>>35807335
Do not disturb the displays. You don't want to be disobedient, now, do you?

That said, no one ever said that observation was wrong. Please, Chelsey Hall, explore and observe to your liking. If you can, find something that isn't created by them. Perhaps a journal, or a sign, or something else along those lines?

Of course, we both know that they would no doubt take such remembering tools away, but perhaps your observers are sloppy.

You kick off your pants, right into the face of one of the nearby manikins.

It topples over onto the fake grass, clattering against whatever solid ground is underneath.

You feel like this was a good deciWHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS

It'll be alright, Chelsey. Now, I'm quite sure you don't know this, but it would be best to try and pump the chemicals out of his stomach. Before that, however, examine the pill bottle. See what you were meant to take, and how it was supposed to help you.

Eventually, you realize that no such thing will magically be given to you. Your room's a mess, your life's a mess, you're a mess, and it's really nothing but your own fault.

You decide to do the single most sensible thing one can do in your situation. You schedule an appointment with a military recruiter.

You examine the pill bottle, but it's very unhelpful. It only contained the one pill. It says to take once daily in the morning, but there's a blacked-out part.

Shit. The rushing in your head that you didn't even realize was there is slowly quieting down. You don't know who this guy is or what his intentions are, but waking up naked with a stranger is not something you expected to happen. What did you do last night, anyway?

There's no door today, but there's a mini-freezer with frozen pizzas and a toaster oven. Some fruit, pitcher of water, gigantic fucking bottle of tequila, and bottle of limeade. No glasses to mix them in. Cans of noodle soup. Can opener. Only bowl in the room contains fruit. Window was open when you woke up, that's new.

Okay. Okay, think Chelsey. You might have killed this guy. This...This is an actual guy. Like, some dude, naked and in your bed. Not a manikin, not a doll. You don't...you don't even remember seeing one of those in person before, but you're sure you probably have.

He's still breathing. You roll him on his side so he doesn't vomit or bleed in his mouth, you think that's what you're supposed to do.

You try to hog-tie him with the bedsheets. You do the best you can, but you're not sure what you're doing. You wish you could just leave him there, get away from this, but the door is just fucking gone today.

You grab the tequila and limeade and take a gulp from each bottle. You sit in front of the computer and start to look up what to do if someone takes the wrong medication, the warmth already spreading through you. Most of the advice says to induce vomiting and call 911 if they lose consciousness, which would be great if you had some sort of phone.

There is a guy. In your room. What the fuck.

Sorry for the delay. I woke up, saw that this was still going on, and started drawing. I just realized I forgot to do normal human things like eat.

You remember something about checking pupils, and you hold one of his eyelids open. You try shadowing his eyes, but you're not sure how to do it without a direct light source. What you're doing doesn't seem to be making them change size at all, though.

Panicking, you look up how to induce vomiting in someone else and take the first result. You shove your fingers down his throat and tickle the back. It's warm, gross, and slimy. He heaves and you back up reflexively. Suddenly he chokes and a rush of what looks like blood erupts from his mouth.

And now you can't find a pulse.

Fuck.

He's dead. You killed him. You could try CPR, but you can tell there's no point. He's completely still, his eyes aren't focusing, he's got fucking blood pouring out of his mouth. Why did they put him here in the first place? How were you supposed to react? Was this even your fault?

Your shaking hand inspects the other pill bottle. It's the same as yours except for one thing: where yours says "Chelsey Hall", his says "Justin Case". This has to be some sick fucking joke. Who names their kid Justin Case? "Just in case" what, are they trying to tell you something?

You grab the tequila and take a drink to calm your nerves, not even bothering to chase it. Your mind tumbles as you wander aimlessly around the room. Kick open the freezer. Two frozen Pizzas. Personal size. Barbecue Chicken. Pepperoni and sausage. You fucking hate pepperoni. You just killed a man. Soup on the tray. Chicken Noodle. No microwave, no spoons. His dead body is just laying there limp. Two sets of clothes on the ground. They gave you a skirt today. The pants you put on were probably supposed to be his. Fuck skirts. Wasn't there a sink and a toilet in here at some point? How are you supposed to go to the bathroom? Where can you get this blood off you? What's even the point? They'll clean it off you tomorrow anyway. Will they clean him up too? Will you remember him? Has this happened before? It feels so unfamiliar.

You sit down heavily on the ground by the mattress and just stare at his face. Justin Case. More Tequila. Push him idly with your hand. The dead weight or his flesh is unsettling.

You're considering just drinking until you pass out or die. Or jumping out the window again. Got to make sure to land on your head. They made sure you remembered the one time you just broke your legs, laying there in agony for hours with that piece of bone sticking out. Or maybe you could just climb out with the bedsheet and walk away for a while. It's not like it's doing much good restraining the corpse.

Dang guys, I'm seriously okay with just letting it die. Undue praise isn't doing me any favors; I'd rather go work on other stuff that I know people have enjoyed than keep putting effort into something that nobody's all that interested in.

Consider this quest closed. This isn't some ragequit or me holding the quest hostage until you stroke my ego or something, this is just a realistic look at how I should be spending my time. If you feel the need to respond, please sage your posts so this dead thread doesn't keep getting bumped.

That's silly. I create things to try to share an idea or an experience with people. When it works and my audience seems to really get into that idea or resonate with that experience, I feel like I was successful as an artist/storyteller. The audience and I go into a feedback loop where I explore it further and they enjoy it, and it's hopefully a worthwhile experience for all of us.

If nobody else is connecting with it, it's probably too personal or unrelateable or I'm just plain doing something wrong. It makes a lot more sense to go explore a different idea than to keep trying to shove the same one down their throats. I'm not lessened by this change; it's not like I will shut down all creative expression if people don't like this one specific thing. I'll just redirect that energy into something else.

Let's face it, all artists are attention whores. Getting attention is kind of key to figuring out what works and what doesn't and growing as an artist. Running an interactive comic where I have to wait 24 minutes to get a single suggestion isn't doing any good for anybody.

And that's my last post in this thread.

Yeah, what idiots Darwin, Einstein, Galileo, etc were for doing their own thing and not just assuming that because people weren't connecting to it it must be wrong.

>Let's face it, all artists are attention whores.
Right, all those people I listed were scientists. Being an individual is a thing for scientists. Artists don't need to do their own thing or have their own opinions, because other people can tell them what to do. Having your own thoughts is for scientists.
