Heck.
You finally agree to go look for Theodore.

You exit the room, marking it orange for Potentially Dangerous, and hurry downstairs. In the foyer, there’s a small table with a bowl on it, a “wesclome” mat, a family photo, and a giant painting of a frog. There’s a door on the left which, if you had to guess, probably leads to some kind of study or library, and the door across from you leads outside. The hallway by the stairs leads into the living room and kitchen areas.

Look under mat

>>883242
Head to the kitchen to see if Theodore is waiting for you to get him some breakfast.

Doomed seems a little unavoidable. Let's assume the fish was being dramatic for now.

Okay, check under the mat (I guess, usually it's outdoor mats that have things), check the bowl, then head to the kitchen for a reptilian reunion.

>>883242
What's in the bowl?

Check the kitchen next.

What even was that fish’s deal?? This has to be a dream. Why else would there be a weird fish in your house? Why else would you not remember everything about your own home? The only explanation is that you’re still sound asleep and you’re just stressed about probably some kind of company picnic or something. Yeah, it must be that.

>Look under mat
You check under the mat. There’s a key underneath, which you assume unlocks the front door. If you didn’t just convince yourself this is a dream, you would be more interested in why the mat is inside the house instead of outside. “Wesclome” doesn’t bother you so much.
You take the key and head down the hall to find Theodore.

>What's in the bowl?
You check the bowl on the table. Looks pretty normal. You find some generic looking keys, a couple hard candies, and some loose change. You wanna take any of that with you? The candy and money can be grouped as miscellaneous items and won’t take up too much space in your inventory.

>>883856
Eat the candies. One for you and one for your tail mouth.

>>883856
Take the candies but don't eat them. Nothing in this 'dream'-house can be trusted.

Loop the keys together and take the candymoney combo, but you definitely convinced me to take a more paranoid attitude to this situation, so don't eat the candy for now.

Take the bowl, leave the contents.

>>883912
Uh, actually, we might need it, you're right. Not about leaving the items, but if the talk with the fish goes well, you might need a bowl for it? I dunno, just keep that in mind.

>>883856
Eat a candy, collect the keys.

>>883913
Isnt this a fish that's somehow suspending itself in a bubble of water that's floating in the air?

I dont think it needs a bowl :V

Unlock the front door and take a look outside before you go find your tortoise.

>>884062
Maybe it can't move on its own. Like I said, I have no idea, just a thought.

Ok, why not? Maybe the fish can accompany you in it. You empty the coins into a pocket and stuff the bowl in another. It’s a fairly small bowl so it doesn’t take up too much space.

>Check the kitchen next
The back half of the house is a kitchen and living room combination. No sign of Theodore, but the unmistakable smell of his fantastic cooking still hangs in the air, meaning he can't be far off.
Aside from the kitchen there's not much else in the room. There's a couch squeezed into the space between the cabinets and wall, and a table with a vase on top. There's a completely generic looking flower in the vase.
Something is dripping from the ceiling and starting to trickle down the overhead cabinets.

>>885814
Check inside the cabinets and the fridge and the oven, etc. Maybe Theodore's hiding or stuck?

After you look inside things look out the window.

Is there something black dripping from the ceiling? Find turtle buddy now!

>>885813
Careful!

If you put too many things in your pants pockets, then the weight of all the items will pull your pants down! You wouldn’t want that to happen, right? That would be embarrassing!

Ah, yes, eau de battered book.

Scour the cabinets first. The creepy dripping should be put off until it stops being creepy or you're sure it's the only option.

>Look out the window
Upon closer inspection, the window turns out to be a mere picture of a window. You live in the suburbs, not some wide open field, and also based on where that window is positioned, it would only be looking straight into the back of the stairs anyway.
You sort of wish you were there right now tho. The field, not the stairs.

>Check cabinets
Ok, so the first one has all your cereal. The good stuff like “O's” and “flakes” and “zaps”, it's all here. You probably have opened every single one of the boxes before finishing the last box.

The second one is completely empty and dark. That goo wastes no time trickling down into the cabinet. You plan to inspect that junk later, maybe. It gives you the heebie jeebies.

Next up, Theodore's cooking stuff. Household basics like flour and sugar and beans. It's neat and well kept. You can't even begin to fathom how he gets any of it out of the cabinet.

And lastly, Theodore's many cook books. Some of these are real page turners!

Investigate around the oven. There's a mess there, right?

>>895300
Collect some of the mysterious goo into the measuring glass, then test it with certain acids and bases (such as vinegar) and see how it reacts. Science!

Read I Scream, quietly.

>>895302
No "How to Serve Man"?

>what do
See what's cooking? It looks like something was.

>Collect the goo and run tests on it

You don't know what sort of tests you could perform on this that would help you identify it, but you do think you should take some with you. Just in case. You set your bowl on the ground and it told with some of the goop as it trickles down the counter.

Disgusting
Your bowl has now become a Filled Bowl. Don't worry about it spilling in your inventory, your storage is abstract and well balanced.

>Investigate the stove

You do it. Looks like Theodore had been making pancakes, but accidentally added the book to the mix. It's not like him to do something like that. Your concern rises a little.
At least he had the foresight to turn the heat off before abandoning breakfast.
You sample the book. Tastes about how you expected it would. It's still readable so you wipe it off and put it back on the shelf with the other cookbooks.

> Read “I Scream” quietly

You take a gander at “I Scream”, and are shocked to find it’s surprisingly difficult to remain quiet. You didn’t think a cookbook could BE this scary.
Reading this puts a chill up your spine. You’re now quite spooked and extra alert.
You are also now very afraid of frozen cream.

>>898121
Better check the freezer and make sure your scary ice cream isn't up to something!

Make an appointment with a therapist. They can help out with Psychological trauma from fear.

>>898121
Write down the publisher's address and prepare for a strongly worded letter.

Then we leave the kitchen.

Look for pancake-battered footprints.

Contemplate usefulness of tail.

>Look for pancake-battered footprints

You glance about the room but find no traces of your friend.
No, Theodore is meticulous about keeping his hands... paws? His extremeties
Theodore is really good about washing up. He would never leave a mess behind him. Tho this doesn’t explain the mess that he definitely did leave behind him on the stove.
You surmise that either he washed up and left to get supplies to clean everything up and will be back shortly, or something must have taken him away. You have no reason right now to suspect there’s anyone other than yourself and Theodore in the house.
There is that fish, tho...

>Contemplate usefulness of tail

Oh baby, you don’t have to contemplate it, it’s usefulness is well known to you! Why, it’s as useful as having a third arm! It can hold all sorts of things when your arms are full. It can open doors, and it can close them again. Sometimes it drools, but don’t we all from time to time? It can also reach farther than your arms, so you’re never too far from anything, usually. You can’t imagine what life without it would be like. Pretty bad, you think. Some people are creeped out by it, but mostly people think it’s “cute” or “neat”.
You like your tail a lot, is what you’re trying to say.

>>907871
Don’t let that black stuff touch your tail! There’s no telling if it’s poisonous or not!

>>907871
dare you to lick it.

It's probably time to keep searching the house for stuff. Like tortoises.

Tail: Drink up.

>>907871
Tail your tail not to lick mystery substances off the floor. It's way past the five second rule!
