>>306022
Why thanks, I'll consider those compliments.

If you're wondering why I'm getting money for waiting here, here's the deal. I'm waiting for a little drug test, a kind of sell your body to science deal. I'm short on cash, high in debt, and just a little desperate. There may or may not have been some loan sharks involved. But hey, they're paying me to take drugs and trip out so they can see what kind of responses I give to different colors and such. It can't be all bad if they're paying me to get high!

But still, I've got to fill out this form before somebody shows up to take me to my room.

>>306029
Better start filling it out then. Oh, and if question 14 is "Are you a horrible person?" then fill in yes.

Whow there tiger, US army did something similar one, you know, they almost got people to OD on fucking weed in that? I mean, hard as hell to do that. Did the same with LSD and other hallucinogens. Basically, be really damn sure what exactly they're doing first before signing that form.

Then fill it out, are you waiting for the clouds to part and a golden fountain pen to descend from the heavens with a flight of angels or something?

>>306031
Y'know, fellow schizophrenia voice, I've gotta ask, why do you specify if that one is particularly question fourteen?

probably a waiver so you can't sue if something goes bad.

>>306033
Ze is broke and has collectors of unspecified violence after zir. Ze doesn't have the luxury of discretion about signing up for this.

Woah, I'm not going into any conspiracy theories here. But still, I'll be careful... as careful as I can be while seeing snakes in the air vents.

Well then, let's fill this thing out! Let's see, I wouldn't want to spoof my height and weight here, since they'll use that to give me my drug dosage.

Well then, how should I answer these?

>>306049
Truthfully, since they need to know those things to know what kind of dosage to give you. Lying could lead to very bad things happening.

Name should also be the same thing that it says on your ID card.

The truth, while you're under lots of drugs it'd probably be trivially easy for them to find out the truth if they wanted to and if your collectors trace you here what the heck are they going to do about it? Let me guess the correct answers though:
-A. Shmuck
-5'6"
-110 lbs
-N/A
-22
-457-55-5462
-Y
-Marijuana, max codeine tolerance, heroin
-Y
-Y
-Addiction treatment, childhood car accident
-Need the money
-N --And add, "Usually too broke"
-Y

How about truthfully? Truthfully is good.

>>306049
Why are you asking us? We're just headvoices. Also, you should write down that you have headvoices. It could be, uh, potentially important.

So yeah. The truth.

Alrighty, that should do things up right! I wish I could use a pseudoname though, since I get way too many jokes about being called Marco... but I need them to write my check in my name!

Anyway, now that that's taken care of... should I go check out a room or two while I wait?

>>306152
Ok, lets hand that fucker in then and get on with the testing.

5'11" and 150lbs, so skinny you look like neither a man nor a woman, but you're trying to claim you're not a junkie? Are you shitting me?
Seriously, if they don't know it could hurt you and a private company like this isn't gonna pass that info on to the police since they just developed a fiduciary relationship as the people who are drugging you up and monitoring your health. Stop lying about your heroin addiction.

It says do not enter, means you do not enter it. Try the other three first, starting with the left one and then moving right. If none of them is correct then you knock on the do not enter door, if nobody opens then go up the stairs and check there.

Ask mister person if he's the guy to give it to.

A lean and odd butler comes through the door with the do not enter sign. He's carrying a clipboard with other forms on it.

"Ah, welcome!" Oh lord, he sounds like a girl.... "Are you here for the exam?"

>>306236
Well you are, so say yes and ask how much it pays. Debts needing to be paid and all that.

Perhaps. Make sure he means the test/exam/experiment that you actually came here for and not ANOTHER experiment that happens to take place in the same building.

I quickly nod and make sure I'm at the right test, the one with the drugs. He nods politely.

"Of course, sir, let me tell you what we are going to do, just to make sure you are comfortable! Your room is the wardrobe, though you can take another room if you'd like. It's the third door on the right. Once you are there, you may wait for the rest of the examinees to arrive, since we will need 10 of you to begin. You will all begin in your rooms, have the drugs administered, and then be put through a series of cooperative tests in order to judge your critical thinking capacity while under the influences of these common drugs. Once everything is complete, we will hand you your check. The amount advertised was $200, but if you suffer side effects or are injured in any way, we are prepared to double that"

>>306246
Nice, lets get set up for testing then. Oh, and maybe accidentally break a finger during a test, like a pinkie finger. Will hurt but you get twice the money.

What, $200 only? That's not money, that's pocket change--not even a half a month's rent. This had better be a one-day thing if you're doing it.

>>306250
I did put on my form that I'm a bad person... so that is a very distinct possibility! Not to mention letting both my kneecaps remain in one piece...

Regardless of my plans, I hand the sheet over to the butler.

"Everything seems in order then... Marco. Remember, third door on my right, the wardrobe. If you do choose that room, you are welcome to try on some of the clothes in there, just so you are more comfortable during your test"

cool, let's get a nice jumpsuit. while you may like your outfit it has loose bits that could make things hard.

"Am I going to need a speed suit?"

>>306371
Oooh, speed, there's a good drug. Just make sure it's the dextroamphetamine you're taking instead of methamphetamine. It's nearly as bad for your weight as all that heroin you've been taking, but at least it doesn't make you into a torpid introvert.

"If there are no more questions, please head to your room and wait"

Polo!

>>306391
Lets go in there and check what clothes are for offer. Maybe they have something valuable in the way of clothes that you can snag.

"Third door on the right," but from what direction? Poke into all of them and see what there is to find. Maybe some manhood for you to borrow?

Marco has entered WARDROBE ROOM

change into something not yours so you wont care about it getting dirty.

>>306679
Check for clothing that looks valuable enough that it can be sold off.

>>306683
Ahaha this is a terrible idea.

>>306684
Why would that be?
Seriously though, walking out wearing nice clothes that don't belong to you will probably be easier to get away with than stealing 4-6 figures worth of wardrobe and fencing it off.
What's the most masculine you can pull off boyo? The clothes are the first step to making the man when the man starts out looking as feminine as you do. We have a lot of work to do--provided you don't want other people thinking you're a girly. I suggest you try a nice suit, a short, sharp, and neat haircut high on the forehead, and a nice pair of snakeskins because you just don't have the build to cut it in a tank-top and army-pants.
If some of what they're giving can help like testosterone or one of the other good steroids and steroidals maybe we can move on to something less dressy... but trust me when I say that skeletal is not a build to show off unless you're a female runway model maybe.

>>306684
He said we could take whatever set of clothes we feel like. We just happen to feel like snagging the 6 most valuable outfits and wear them all at the same time.

>>306703
we still need to do the tests first, and we can't do tests whole constricted in layers of clothes.

Wear the dress. Maybe you can get someone to grab your crotch.

>>306705
You know what, you probably make a prettier girl in a good dress than you could be handsome as a man in the perfect suit. Consider it.

Good point, good point. As much as I'd like to steal all of these, I can't screw up the test. Whatever money I'd get from selling these wouldn't amount to a nice, fat $400! Yes, I consider that a lot.

>>306736
Okay, I never did look good in a suit, but that's a bit too far!

Still, some of these clothes look promising. There's a baseball jersey, a coat like mine with a whole lot of pockets, and... even a trenchcoat! Seriously, what kind of costume shop is this? There's even one of those Mexican pancho things!

trench coat with a poncho on top... what? i think it sounds cool.

>>306816
Ponchooo

>>306816
Grab the pocket coat and the trenchcoat. Then check for a nice pair of pants and a shirt that looks decent as well. If it's not messed up in the testing and they're all good quality then you might be able to get an additional 100 out of selling them.

Put on a tough jacket. Are there any gloves around?

There are going to be other examinees so it might help if you look really boss.

See if you can find a cloak or robes. :3

Hey, I'm just throwing out fashion suggestions that I think might fit your runway-model figure girly-boy, if you don't like it start pumping iron. Pump enough of it and you can impress a room in a tank-top and army-pants but sure as shit that won't work now.
I like trenchcoats but you're a bit too skinny and creepy-feminine to pull one off probably--people might think you're a flasher. Try one on and look in the mirror to double check in case I'm wrong, they are awesome for providing pockets and ways to hide small and medium firearms.

The closest thing is that pancho, and that looks really warm. No pockets though.

Well, here's what we have.
Pocket coat: 4 pockets on front
Jersey: 1 pocket, very light
Trenchcoat: 2 pockets (laaaaame), very durable and good to hide things.
Poncho: No pockets... but it looks cool, I guess.

Final decision time!

>>307065

If there's a cowboy hat in there you must pick the poncho, otherwise, wear JUST the trenchcoat.

Stop being an idiot and check for internal pockets. Most trenchcoats have internal pockets on each side and probably at least one of the jackets do as well.
That however is not a trenchcoat. It's some kind of longcoat but trenches all have epaulets and usually also armets for rank insignia because their first mass-adoption was as battlefield dress for officers in the first world war. It's also missing the belt loop D-rings and belt.
Huh, it's not a duster is it? Those usually have even more pockets than trenches and button-snap dividers in the back. Those are really nifty because they're designed to be able to conform to a rider using internal straps and this would make it good for climbing ladders and other things you would expect a long-coat to get in the way of.
Really, dusters tended to have a lot of external pockets too so I'm guessing this is some half-ass prop coat if it doesn't have any internal pockets--it's missing waist-pockets for FSM's sake! Oy, maybe they don't care about these clothes because they're low-quality stage costumes or cast-offs kept for hobos?

>>307074

As fascinating as high fashion is, he doesn't need a real trenchcoat to dress like a flasher. Just a cheap trenchcoat and some socks is good enough.

>>307075
See, no, details matter when you're trying to hide a sawed-off shotgun or a MP5 as a mugger. Considering how broke this guy is he probably has shit-all in the way of marketable skills. This means we have to use this opportunity to prepare for the challenges he faces tomorrow knocking off convenience stores and running drugs.
