Inspect sword. If all seems well enough, pick it up. Swing it a few times to see if it feels familiar.

YOU MUST CUT OFF YOUR HEAD

Pick up our sword and inspect that strange revolving red thing.

Forget the sword.
Hit the red thing.
With your head.

Pick up sword and plunge it into the red spinning thing!

The red spinning thing glows... and spins. It dosn't seem to be made of any kind of material.

Action?

I uh... I feel kinda warm...

The spinning thing is now black and I'm... red...

Sword is still the same, tho.

>>169546
See if you have amazing new powers and shit. Does the sword feel any lighter? Can you move stuff with your mind or anything?

>>169546
attempt to hear whatever lies behind the doors, also check for strenght,hability to phase or maybe to melt yourself

the hand guard should face out btw

I try moving the sword around with just my mind, since I don't have any other objects in the room.

...
...

It made a nice *clang* sound when it hit the ground...

I didn't react to grabbing the sword when it fell, feels like my reflexes are slower...

>>169551
Well hopefully it's not something harmful, and shit will get better later.

Anyway, time now for moving out. Lets see what behind the P door.

The door labeled "P" has some kind of... beeping? Repeated beeping.

>>169555
See if you can open it by normal means. If that doesn't work then try cutting through with your sword.

>>169551
well, altered reflex can be the cause of a few other things.

can you say if time is passing slower or faster?

lost of reflex is usually associated with changes of perception. do you feel numb? maybe sharper that the usual?

The next room is kinda big, with platfo-- Woah, someone's here.

"Aaahh! Who'se there?"

>>169570
Can you remember your name?

If not then introduce yourself as Red.

>>169570
"What, can't you see me?"

>>169570
claim yourself in need of help to GTFO of here, whatever here is.

also introduce yourself with your name that we didnt picked
thank god you didnt asked, sephiroth isnttaken yet

say you just arrived and ask for a update on wtf is going on.

>>169580
Win against who? All you did was touch a funky red thing and then enter this room.

Oh shit, you're probably gonna have to fight him to the death. Loosen up a bit and prepare for a possible fight.

I grasp my sword a bit more tightly as I say

"I just touched a red spinny thing and entered here. What's going on? Win against who?"

He responds with a more puzzled voice.

"Y-... ... You don't remember what just happened?"

"Nope."

"I see... He won, then. Very well, I'll tell you, but I have to be brief, gotta get the portal system online."

He goes back to typing on the computer terminal that he's standing at.

"We are in a research facility where we experiment and test our abilities. One of the guys, I don't know who he is, I just arrived here. Anyway, he has some kind of ability to manipulate minds of people. Just an ordinary break and suddenly the alarm trips and this guy and others start wrecking havoc an-- Damn.. The portal system dosn't have enough power to send. Gotta find a power cell."

>>169597
Tell him you can go search for one. Go and check out the other room (the one with the scratchy sounds in it) for anything good.

Expressing my will to help, I say

"I'll go search for one."

"Oh.. Okay, I'm not really the fighting type, but do you want me to stay here or should I follow?"

>>169602
Tell him to follow; he'll be able to identify a power cell and we don't want someone to kill him if he stays behind.

>>169602
Let him tag along. He seems to have some idea of what the fuck is going on.

>>169610
tag along and ask him about the experiments and shit. tell him of everything you remember.

He follows after me.

"Well then, let me re-introduce myself. My name's Gates, or rather my codename. I don't recall you ever telling me your name prior to you losing your... memories."

"Let's go with Red for now." I reply.


He puzzles.
"yes, I noticed your color. You changed at one of these spinning things?"

"Apparantly, what are they?"

"Elemental Changers are what they're called. They change the elements in our body to become attuned and focused to one specific element."

He pauses.

"Your own abilities change, as well as your statistics. I like to keep my ability to port through holes as generic. Wouldn't want to add water or say acid to that kind of trick..."

"What happened before I lost my memories?" I query.

"We ran into eachother in a hallway, you drew your sword. Deffinitely a fighter type. We agreed to escape from the facility, since we were ordered to evacuate."

He takes a more focused look on the Elemental Changer before continuing.

"A friend of yours said he had to check up on something and went back, we continued to here were that mind manipulation guy caught up to us. You told me to go on ahead and I did. Which brings us to our present moment."

>>169634
Ah, so we can probably expect fire at some point. See if you can just light a small flame over your hand.

"My sword what?"

I reach my sword upwards and focus again. It radiates heat...

"Red is linked to -Heat-, an element used to warm things up. Your ability uses your sword as a medium. Or that's my guess, atleast."

so what are the elements and what do they do

"Pl-Please d-don't!"

What. Stop updating so fast!

I think the fear was that he's mentally controlling/reading us, thus the orders to keep certain thoughts fixed in our mind. No need to take an active role that way.

I'm getting mixed thoughts about killing him or not...

Upside, I won't have to think about protecting him if anything were to happend and I would certainly be ridd of the factor of being betrayed.

Downside, I would lose a source of information.
I would also have to find someone else that knows how to work that portal whatsit or find another way out...

>>169880
Move on.

i was obviously against killing him.

just ask about the dude and dont kill him. keep him very alive and rememeber to not use the sharp edge of sword to shave him.
