Well, whatever. Time to utilize that ring of keys on the two locked doors with wild abandon. Psychoanalysts' door first, if a choice must be made.

Looks like someone died, or at least lost a major limb, then again I would expect drag marks if the body had been moved... be wary of the ceiling.

Hmmm, That splatter on the back wall seems to indicate a descending right-handed blow with a heavy object, perhaps an ax or sledgehammer from someone entering the room.

>>259341
Well that's a lovely sight. Shame there isn't any other rooms to inspect. Kind of a poorly designed institute so far, don't you think? No way for the workers to leave except maybe for a secret exit.

Which is probably what the blood splatters are trying to indicate. Would be REALLY nice if the previous room had a similar exit. But, most likely not.

So, guess you have little choice but to look around in here, hm?

I guess something is in the ventilation system and dragged whoever it killed up there.

So maybe stay alert when venturing into that area especcially as long the light is flickering.

Mark would feel more comfortable if he had something to defend himself with.

Well, isn't that quite the coincidence? You ARE being watched!

Perhaps you might want to start wielding that scalpel like a lost lover and step out of arm's reach of that vent above the door?

Either back into the hallway or off to one of the sides. The former offers more maneuvering room, but it's your choice.

This thing can't be very big considering that it fits in there and how close its eyes are I would say it is as big as a cat.

Mike is Rahab, who is a fallen angel of Pride. And also a demonic water dragon, according to wikipedia. Name means violence. If you find water, see if you can control it in any way.

James is Abaddon, a fallen angel of death. Name means to destroy. Seeing as he and Mark are both 'violent' ones, Mark may be able to hold his own in a straight fight if he awakens or something, but we should still watch out for this one. I'm assuming it's our red faced friend.

Kat is either Namaah, Lillith, or both. Which are both succubus. Yeah, don't tap that your you'll get your soul sucked out or something.

Samuel is a fallen angel who corrupts mankind in writing. I'm guessing he's a lawyer or businessman from the suit and wealth notes. Watch out, he's probably gonna be a tricky one.

Although damaged, Mark can see enough from the turret's feed to see a forklift, a warehouse door, and some sort of crate.

Mark climbs up through the now unlocked trapdoor.

As he emerges into another room, he finds someone waiting for him.

"So you finally made it this far, eh Marcus?"

Oh. Samuel. Hi.

Look around to see what would be the best direction to start running.

Mop him in the face. You still have the mop, right?

Oh, so just because it's the weird, rich man who wormed his way into the program despite being in perfect health, everyone automatically assumes he's a threat and leaps to aggressive actions. Real logical, gaiz!

Anyways.

>>277268
"Well, you know, there wasn't much else to do in my room, so I figured, what the hey."

Or, alternatively, "Oh, I'm being timed? Darn. I knew I should've spent less time mucking about down there!"

Samuel confirmed for Gary Motherfucking Oak

Well, may as well try to be civil. Explain that you slept in, and really have no clue what's going on.

"Uh, hello Samuel. I kind of slept in and I have no idea what's happening. Am I being timed or something?"

"Oh, heavens, no. Not officially, although the Director is a bit loony and might say some things like that. I was just expecting you sooner, like last time."

last...time?

Ask Samuel what exactly is going on, and what he means by 'last time'.

"Um...What do you mean 'last time'?"

Samuel laughs
"Ah, but look at me getting ahead of myself already! I'm afraid you'll have to figure that out yourself. As for what's going on here...well, I'd say we're having ourselves a little game."

"W-What kind of game?"

"Think of it like an rpg. I believe you would make a fine protagonist, and the others and I are merely here to keep the game interesting. It is up to you to decide how big of a role we play."

Samuel has a very creepy smile.

Ask him who the red melty-face guy is.

Ask why Kat is crying.

"I saw on the camera's someone that looked like Kat was crying in one of the rooms. Would you know anything about that?"

"Oh, that. She's probably just been bullied by little Jimmy again."

"Jimmy? Is that the James Whitaker guy?"

"Yeah, such a rotten little brat."

"Anything else I should know?"

"For now? No. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to see a man about a cat."

Samuel leaves through the door.

Well, let's try to find Kat. Get to know our fellow horrific demonic experiments and all that.

Again. Since we appear to have amnesia.

For now follow Sam, it's the only door out of this place.

>>278454

Hey, yeah. Whatever happened to Mooshy? Last we saw she was having a staring contest with that red guy. You let her sneak back into the heating vents, didn't you?

But yeah, get on with the room leaving.

Mark follows Samuel through the door, but he's already gone. Mark enters another hallway, with two doors, a potted plant, and a giant metal seal bolted over the wall at the opposite end of the hall.

Left.

This is demon quest, so go left.

Look at the pot first. Could be something stashed in it.

Mark tries the left door, but it's locked. He hears a faint moan from the other side.

"Hello?"

"sniff... go away..."

"Kat? Is that you? It's Mark."

"Mark? Is that really you?--NO! It can't be! God damnit James! Your fucking jokes have gone too far!"

"No, Kat, it's really me."

"Damnit James, Mark is dead! Why do you have to rub that in?"

Dead? That's news to Mark...

"Well, as Mark Twain once said, 'The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.' But, if you wanna be left alone, that's fine." Then try the other door if she doesn't unlock hers.

Hi Kat! Mark, tell Kat the voices say hi.

Mark is cut off as Kat bursts from the room, embracing him.

"Oh my God, Mark it's really you!"

"I, uh, I...the voices say hi."

Oh look, Mooshy was in the room with her.

Return hug.
Then explane about waking-up and being kind of weirded out.
Lastly pet Mooshy.

Return hug.
Ask what is going on.

Also ask why/when you are/were 'dead'.

Mark hugs Kat back.

"Sniff...I, I can't believe it's really you. I thought you had died."

"Well, Kat, I need to be honest with you. You seem to know me pretty well, but I only know you from the files on the computer. I woke up this morning and I have no idea what's going on. Could you fill me in?"

Kat looks confused and opens her mouth to speak, but the plant from the hall comes out of nowhere and smashes into her temple!

duck

Use MANLY REFLEXES gained from MANLY CAPE to grab the plant and try to minimize impact. Then see who threw it.

Also duck if you can't do that, and equip CRUDE POLEARM.

>>279952
How conveeeeenient.

Instinctively duck, then turn towards the source of the flying topiary with CRUDE POLEARM at the ready.

Mark channels the power of his MANLY CAPE, ducking to avoid any further projectiles. He turns to see the assailant disappearing through the other door in the hall.

Kat is down, but the attacker is getting away. What should Mark do?

give her a quick look, if her head has no blood then chase, if there is blood then stay with her.

It is a horrible idea to leave someone with a head injury alone. Pick her up, retreat into her room, and shut the door. Then examine her injury.

>>280444
Yes. What sort of gentlemanly half/quarter/whatever-percentage demon would leave behind an injured damsel? The assailant will (maybe) get their comeuppance at a future date and time.

Let Karma deal with the attacker for now, and tend to Kat. Better to keep strong our alliances than to further hatreds, yes?

Mark turns to check on Kat.

She's lying unconscious on the floor where she fell. Although the injury doesn't seem too serious, Kat's breathing is heavy and labored. Mark brings her into the room she was in, which he saw on the camera before, and sets her on the table.

What now?

put your hand on her forehead thingy and try to force life energy into her.... or something to that effect.

>>280563
Demonic healing? Well, it did apparently cure Mark of a terminal illness. After dying.

If that doesn't work, do your best to clean any plant bits or foreign materials out of the wound. Then tear off some of the cape or coat, and use it to bandage her up. Lock the door again so we don't get any more violent interruptions.

What else is in the room?

The abrasion seems to have healed on its own already, so Mark doesn't need to try any mystic healing. He's not even sure if he has that ability.

Mark lays Kat out on the table and tries to tear off a bit of his cape to use as a makeshift bandage.

There's nothing else in the room, other than the table and the vent above the door Mooshy came in through.

"Oh, what the hell-oh shit. Not you again. Fuck, I thought I saw the last of you, Mark. Of all the shitty luck..."

Okay, Mark is confused.

Great, what set of memories does she have this time?

Go ahead and ask what she's talking about. She seemed glad to see you just a minute ago, before she got hit by the potted plant.

>>280788

She got two demons, remember? Her split personality is probably a consequence of that.

Ask Kat if she's feeling okay, because she just took a blow to the head with a potted plant and changed hair colors.

explain calmly that someone just wanged her head with a plant. a

"Kat? Are you okay? You just got wanged pretty hard on the head with a potted plant."

"Kat? What the fuck, do you not remember me telling you not to fucking call me that? That's your little nickname for Bitchy McGoody-Two-Shoes."

"Are you, I mean, your hair's different, are you...?"

"What do you seriously not know? I'm Lillith, and my fucking retarded alter ego is the dumbshit known as Naamah. You still insist on fucking calling her Kat all the fucking time."

Lillith is very vulgar.

"Well, in that case, I guess it would be proper to call me Rahab? And no, I don't remember. I don't remember much of anything. Apparently I'm dead."
