Have Ruby scold Tom for such harsh actions.

Look into room before going in!

Have Tommy check the hole under the shutters see if he can reach it, if not have him reach it using the crowbar

Check the bulletin board before going through.

RUBY: Check underside of TABLES while TOM continues MANLINESS RAMPAGE.

>>3327504
>Check the bulletin board before going through.
There is no bulletin board here. Perhaps you are retarded.

>>3327495
>Look into room before going in!
A spiral staircase leads upwards.

>>3327484
>Have Ruby scold Tom for such harsh actions.
Actually, she's pretty impressed.
Ruby compliments Tom for his harsh actions.
Tom seems pleased.

Tonight has made me facepalm.

Check the walkie talkies and make sure they're powered.

Go up Staircase, Tom first, weapons ready.

>>3327517
YELL up the STAIRS

Eitther the staircase or the boarded up hole in Euclid's nightmare... Better pick the staircase. Is there light in the staircase-room-thingie?

Head up stairs.

Check the other entrance to the bombed out room.

What's behind the door?

>>3327538
Text, read it.

Maybe set a new frequency for walkie talkies..You technically aren't s'posed to be back there.

>>3327525
>>3327526
There's light coming from upstairs, but after Ruby calls, there's no response.

Tom shivers warmly, as an after-effect of his RUSH OF MANLINESS.

Tell Tom to Wait there while Ruby ghoes upstairs.

:3
Get a drink of water for Tom to celebrate then head on in.

Let's have Tom go to the non-Euclidean room and carry on with his MANLY DESTRUCTIVE HABITS. After all, there's a bunch of planks nailed to the floor on the side that's opposite from the Z-Hatch, right? The crowbar should make short work of that.

>>3327547

TOM: Ruby has Three eyes. She has yours. You should reclaim it.

>>3327547
ITT tom is horny

>>3327564
Indeed, and prepare for MINDFUCKERY

>>3327537
>Check the other entrance to the bombed out room.
What other entrance?

>>3327545
>Draw better or go to hell.
Pay attention! Ruby and Tom just now picked up the WALKIE TALKIES from the shelf. You could have read that.

>>3327546
>Maybe set a new frequency for walkie talkies
A clever idea! Tom and Ruby set a new frequency together to avoid being listened in on.

>>3327518

I love you.

>>3327555

lets do that after we check upstairs.

>>3327500
I love you

>>3327575
No, other thing first. We don't go anywhere new while there is still unfinished business.

Stairs are a lot like Dark Rooms(or lit rooms if you're in the dark), march boldly into it without further hesitation, weapons in hand!

Go poke out the dummies other eye.

>>3327588
>Wasn't there an entrance next to RED's hideout?
The room with Red's hideout and the monitors is blocked by a collapse of debris! Both that room and the room with the bomb are inaccessible, at least for now!

The consensus seems to be either to go upstairs or go to the boarded-up hole in the other room.
Who should go where? Remember, now that they have walkie-talkies they can split up and work faster while staying in touch!

WHAT SHOULD THEY DO?

They shouldn't fucking split up, I know that much.

Is it possible to smash in the wall a little to make that hole a bit bigger and retrieve the item?

>>3327618
climb upstairs

>>3327618
They both go to wreck that hole. No splitting up.

>>3327620
This.

Have Tom go upstairs while Ruby goes to the boards, only to realize she can't break them.

>>3327621
It's obviously the keycard for the door Tom just smashed. Being OCD slows the whole thing down.

Lets split up and look for clues!

In movies, we know that people splitting up means they die.

In roleplaying games, you always get punished for splitting up.

SO DON'T FUCKING SPLIT UP

>>3327622
>>3327624
>TOM: Crowbar to the boards.
>RUBY: Take the stairs.
With their WALKIE TALKIES in hand, the two split up. While Tom goes off to pry up the boards, Ruby heads upstairs.

Because the staircase curved around, this new room is directly above the room Ruby and Tom were just in.

Look at the FETUS THING.

>>3327653
RUBY: Go back down the stairs and meet up with TOM.

Have Ruby look at the thing in the box like it's adorable.

>>3327653
Read plaque on wall and fetus jar.

Examine buttons on the hatch plus the fetus.

I have an idea! Remember there was a sock in the coffin room?Bbut ruby discarded it, Go get that sock and drop it in that gaping big hole of a room to test the gravity in the room then use the crowbar on the planks.

>>3327653
Read sign, ignore the YOUR OWN CORPSE fetus in a jar

Something made a hole in the door...lets not go in that room..

Make an agreement to call in every minute to prevent the other from just disappearing!

>>3327620
>>3327634
>>3327652
don't split up.
>>3327651
split up.

Your choice: split up.
Fuck, Weaver, you're railroading it.

>>3327663
>Look at the FETUS THING.
There is a fancy glass display case here. Inside is a strange STATUE of polished, smooth green stone. It resembles some kind of almost fetal creature. It is very unsettling.
Inside the glass display case, there is also what appears to be a SEVERED FINGER.

>>3327691
>Tell Tom what you see, and have him report back to you once he opens the boarded up hole.
Ruby reports her findings to Tom, who acknowledges them with concern. He tells Ruby to be careful.
Ruby promises.

>>3327714
or the door with no handle will swing open..

>>3327653
Describe what's at the far end of the room, please. A door? A dispenser of sorts?

>>3327714
She's fine with the cane.

>>3327719
DO NOT REACH INTO CASE
Inspect plaque.

>>3327719

Examine labels on Statue Stand
Examine Sign on Wall

>>3327713
It's because of shits like you that we never can have nice things. Finally, Weaver will get tired of all the shit he gets for simply doing this for the benefit for all of us, and stop it.

So shut the fuck up faggot.

>>3327719

KNOCK the glass to see if the CTHULHU STATUE does anything.

Have Tom report of his progress with the boards. If it's nothing important he should meet up with Ruby in case she hallucinates because of the fetus or the framed writing.

>>3327740
IT DOES NOT MATTER.

I may delete this soon

>>3327742

OR HOW ABOUT YOU JUST STICK THE SCALPEL INTO YOUR BRAINSTEM AND SAVE TIME.

>>3327719
Look and read STRANGE BOARD to the right, also note the large ! under the FETUS STATUE and read the writing under it.

>>3327720
Good thinking, Anon!

>>3327737

I second this.

Look through the missing doorknob on the first-aid room

>>3327756
Yeah, then Ruby and Tom will match!

Someone tried to steal the statue and got his finger chopped off. He then ran into the infirmary to patch himself up whilst bleeding violently!
Examine the buttons, Bunny-Girl!

>>3327713
>Fuck, Weaver, you're railroading it.
At the time I made the decision, split up had two votes, stay together had one.
You're welcome to say fuck it and stop reading at any time if you're not 100% satisfied, but I really am doing the best I can especially under pressure and with such time limits.

>>3327725
>Describe what's at the far end of the room, please. A door? A dispenser of sorts?
Ruby examines the room:
There is a ladder leading up, with a sealed metal hatch at the top and on visible means of opening it.
There are two doors to the north, both with a symbol above them.
There is a FRAMED PICTURE on the wall, with some sort of illegible, archaic writing on it.
To the east, there is a heavily-reinforced metal door with an inset card reader.

There are two PLAQUES on the display case.
The top one is illegible due to blood and rust. The second appears to be a request and/or warning label.
A key card slot is set just underneath this second plaque.

Weaver, why you gotta do this at 5:30 am? I'm so tired, and have school in an hour and a half... :(

Bye everyone, and as a last action: Look at whatever that is over the door(?) on the right.

>>3327768
radio tom to keep an eye out for any card keys.

er..don't say "keep an eye out" though...

May we see what TOM is doing?

Also, you're fucking awesome Weaver, and you should feel fucking awesome.

>>3327763

Open the door without the blood and the feeling of screamingly imminent doom.

Poke cane into door hole.

>>3327768
Don't worry Weaver everybody is loving Ruby Quest, it's the best thing to happen in /tg/ in a very long time. Thanks so much for doing this and keep up the great work.
Open it anyways the place is abandoned so nobody will come to answer it.

>>3327778

That is, the northeast door.

>>3327768
Cut over to what TOM is doing with his MANLY PHYSIQUE.

>>3327778
>Open the door without the blood and the feeling of screamingly imminent doom.
The door on the right is unlocked. It opens into a small closet. On the north wall is a large glass-front installment, like a vending machine, filled with all manner of pills and medicinal vials.
There are two shelves here. On one shelf is a HIGH-TECH FIRST AID KIT. On the shelf above it is a PRESSURIZED OXYGEN TANK with an oxygen mask attached.

>>3327768
Radio Tom, go to + room to the north and on the right. It may have first aid supplies. Tell tom where we are going and have him tell us what he is doing at the time.

There is something above the warning sign, wipe the blood off of it and read it.

If you don't want to touch the blood, use water from downstairs.

>>3327790
that bird came out pretty calmly for the facility to be abandoned.

>>3327801

Take some oxygen. It'll make you feel better. Then examine the stuff in the shelves, obviously.

Take the PRESSURIZED OXYGEN TANK

There being a first-aid-kit, means that they're gonna need it.

Take it, have tom break open the boards already!

>>3327801
High tech first aid kit? Oh god why did we put his eye in the GODAWFUL SMOOTHIE?

>>3327801

Take the goods, go back outside, and examine the imminent doom door.

>>3327777
>May we see what TOM is doing?
Tom is making his way to the boards.
This room is very strange.

Oh yeah... Also open the cupboard and retrive the key inside!

>>3327825

Experiment time!

Rip off a plank and throw it to the middle of the room.

Rip off another and throw it to the other side.

>>3327834
Genresavvyness is a curse, isn't it?

Have TOM pry off a plank and toss it into the gap to test the gravity.

Is there a key in the vending machine?

>>3327817
>>3327818
Ruby takes both items and adds them to her growing inventory.
The first aid kit has a FINGERPRINT LOCK on it! How high-tech!

>>3327851

RUBY: Use spade on vending machine to break glass, examine content.

>>3327851
Break glass with cane, take key and any meds that she recognizes.

>>3327851
Go to TOM

>>3327855
Not hand. The FINGER in the box-o-fetus-of-evil

>>3327851
Inform Tom of your progress, try out your own finger on the lock.

Ruby: examine the side of the closet wall. There seems to be a source of light there.

>>3327836
>Experiment time!
Tom begins breaking off the planks. He tosses one into the pit.

It doesn't come back.

>>3327871
It's part of the fun.

>>3327863

I figures that out, but we need a keycard before we can get it, setting off the alarm is a BAD idea.

>>3327867

Thats not a source of light,,,, THAT'S A FUCKING EYE!

Act calm and leave immediately.

>>3327871
She's got threepwood pockets, though i guess this means we dont have to leave the oxygen tank in the most accessable place.

>>3327870

TOM: Untie Cable, then proceed to tie it around your waist. Jump into the pit.

Just get the hole open already.

>>3327856
>>3327858
The glass on the vending-machine device is too sturdy to be broken like that! Apparently whoever designed it expected that to happen.

>>3327876
>Is that a hole in the wall I spy?
There IS a small hole in the wall of the closet.

>>3327901
Look through the hole.

>>3327901

Attempt to bump the vending machine.

Jam the scalpel into the small hole.

>>3327901
Poke cane into hole.

>>3327894

I gotta go with this, figuring out how the pit works is just one big headache, and I don't see any benefit. Just pry the wood away and check it out.

>>3327901
Peek through hole.

>>3327900
You're right. With that he could probe how far the whole reaches.

Tom finishes opening the hole down.
There is a distant light from the other end.

That hole seems to lead into the horrifying unknown death room..calling attention to it seems like a bad idea..

tie string securely around scalpel, poke it through the hole and reel it back.

>>3327918
Go through the hole.

Peek into hole, if it's safe, go down.

Maybe Tom should check up on KILLERPUPPET?
Just in case.. I mean, that puppet really has me shitting bricks!

>>3327906
>Attempt to bump the vending machine.
Have you really never used a vending machine before? That won't work!

>>3327908
>Poke cane into hole.
Great.
It's stuck.

>>3327931
Refrain from agitating the cane unless you want to get slammed into the wall really hard.

>>3327931
Call tom to get it out.

>>3327931
Well great. Take this opportunity to concentrate on Tom for a while.

>>3327931
Stuck in WHAT? Was there a squishy noise?

>>3327931
Oh fuck. D:

>>3327931

Leave closet, proceed into room with the RED CROSS above the door, and push CANE back into the closet, freeing it.

>>3327926
>Go through the hole.
Tom arrives at the other end of the hatch.

Tom feels strangely turned around.

>>3327939
"Hi tom, i, uh, just accidentally my cane into a wall, i need your help"

>>3327952

Eyes. EYES. Also, examine fucking everything.

>>3327952
Radio Ruby about this development posthaste.

>>3327952
Note cane sticking out of wall, radio Ruby about it.

>>3327952
open the door from the inside

>>3327952
Investigate the items on the bed.

WOW is that the Red Cross room? Weaver managed to both unite Ruby and Tom in the same general location AND break the fucking boards. Expert storytelling right thar!

Shove cane back, Tom!
First call Ruby though..
He DOES remember the cane, doesn't he?

>>3327952
Room is connected to Ruby's closet.

>>3327952
Oh, poor tom.

Replace Lost Eye with GLASS EYE,.

>>3327952
Tom is an amputee...

TOM: Check the object in the upper left corner of the room.
RUBY: Check third eye...see if it feels like it is still there.

>>3327960
>Radio Ruby about this development posthaste.
Tom radios Ruby.
Ruby hears his transmission, but there's some sort of strange echo.
...perhaps he's nearby.

>>3327959
>examine fucking everything.
There is a MEDICAL DIAGRAM on the wall above a stained MEDICAL EXAMINATION TABLE. On a small surface next to it is an ANATOMICAL EYE MODEL.
Some sort of diagram is on the west wall. To the south, there is a locked door.
There are some papers on the EXAM TABLE.
There is also a SET OF MEDICAL TOOLS lying on the table.

>>3327992
Use fake eye as real eye.

TOM: aggitate the cane and make RAR noises, then call Ruby to say only joking

>>3327992
look at medical diagram, take tools, read papers on table

>To the south, there is a locked door.
So now there's a lock in it?
examine diagram!

>>3327992
Violently shove the pole sticking out of the wall. Hilarity ensues!

>>3327986
>TOM: Check the object in the upper left corner of the room.
It appears to be a camera.

>RUBY: Check third eye...see if it feels like it is still there.
It hurts.

>>3327996
THIS.

>>3327992
Read the PAPERS

>>3327997
Scare the bunny!

>>3327992

Tell Ruby he thinks he's next door and can see her cane.

Poke Cane to show this.

>>3327997
>TOM: aggitate the cane and make RAR noises, then call Ruby to say JUST KIDDING

>>3328012
seconded
Also tell her about the camera!

>>3327992
inb4 ruined glory hole moment.
Tom:
Examine the poster, eyeball.
Tell Ruby he hears her nearby, prepare to smash the wall near the can protrusion!

>>3327992
>TOM: Check the object in the upper left corner of the room.
And if it's a camera, smash it.
Examine the diagram on the west wall.
See if the eye model can be opened and if there's anything inside.

>>3328012
This can lead only to nut shot to balls due to the can position.

>>At the time I made the decision, split up had two votes, stay together had one.

In this case, I profusely apologize.
(but I still think splitting up was a bad idea)

>>3328005
Smash the camera with the crowbar.

>>3328025
Yeah, now Ruby will ahve to listen to Tom's dying screams, unable to help him.
Make camera explode, examine diagram and EYE closer.

Remove cane, insert penis, commence glory hole.

>>3327997
>>3328012
>>3328008
>>3328017
>>3328006
PLEASE stop posting "SECOND!"-style posts. I saw it the first time. This takes longer than you might think and I'm already rushing.

Ruby and Tom, realizing they're somehow on opposite sides of the same wall, work together to free the cane.

>>3328039
Tell Ruby to get back, smash down the wall with Crowbar if possible.

>>3328039
I think most of that was just people thinking my suggestion was funny and voicing support, rather than anything serious.

>>3328037
The cane got badly stuck. What do you think will happen to the penis?

Smash RED CROSS DOOR with the CROWBAR and Tom's MANLY PHYSIQUE

Tom inspects the ANATOMICAL EYE MODEL, it's just a plastic standee model of an eyeball, like the kind they have in medical schools.
HOWEVER! When Tom picks it up, he finds a single COIN underneath the base, which he then pockets.

The DIAGRAM in the back is that of an eye with some sort of strange script annotating it. It seems very archaic.

Tom picks up the PAPERS on the exam table...
[CUTSCENE moment, give me a minute to draw the papers and such]

I've figured it out!
The KILLERPUPPET is really Scarecrow and all this is just a hallucination induced by his Fear-Gas!
Batman to the rescue!!!

>>3328087
FUCK YEAH

...Tom is not sure what to make of this letter.

Ruby: Trail of blood. Where does it lead?

Told ya'll she was dead.

God this is going to end in either CLONES or TIMETRAVEL. I just know it.

TOM : Breakdown and cry

>>3328111

Ask Ruby if she knows about anything in the letter, e.g. the Spade symbol.

(Yes I'm being a cruel bastard having him tell her she's dead)

TOM: Tell Ruby "I think you might want to see this"

>>3328126
Prepare for the Silent Hill bad ending.

Ruby, check for hidden door, where the trail of blood ends.

>>3328111
Ruby can never know!

This is probably a public hospital.... OOPS WRONG PATIENT!

There's an attached photograph at the end of the letter.

no, ruby must not know.

>>3328143
Oh fu-

>>3328143

OH SHI-

THE PLOT THICKENS.

See? It looks more like Red than Ruby.

can the coin fit through the hole in the wall?

Give coin to ruby. Use coin on vending machine. Get the damn key already.

>>3328143

Is it just me or does it look like the injury that killed her is where the third eye is now?

>>3328159
No, this is (presumably) a different person/subject named "Stitches."

I applaud you, Weaver!

>>3328159
nah... the injury is at the top of the skull, ruby's eye was more on her forehead, although yeah her injury and blindness are probably connected to her third eye

>>3328161

No, that's Ruby. Read the whole letter.

Give the letter to Ruby, see if it triggers any memories.

>>3328154
>Give coin to ruby. Use coin on vending machine. Get the damn key already.
This is too much to take in right now. Tom hastily pockets the letter and the photo.
There will be time to sort this out later.

Tom shakily passes the coin to Ruby through the wall, thankful she can't see him like this.

>>3328159
occipital bone is the bottom back of the skull, right above where the neck joins. Wherre the eye is isn't where Ruby got killed

The occipital bone, at the back of the head...that's at the part of the brain that controles sight!

>TOM: Hide note, decide to watch ruby for a while to figure out what's going on

>>3328161
Stiches could possibly be the first zombie mutant thing we saw

I thought the eye was where that second encounter got Ruby wounded.

>>3328177
How do we know that?
The real enemy is this place. The 'plague doctor' wannabe. The one that drove Red nuts and may be planting these notes. Spade.

>>3328178

Uh... Isn't stitches that motherfucker hung behind the tarp?

Ruby uses the vending machine and the coin to retrieve the GOLD KEY someone stashed there.
Ruby noticed the door from the room outside to the medical room Tom's in now was locked -- perhaps this is that key.

>>3328178

stitches was the one on the wall at the end of part 1

Leave Closet
Unlock Medical Room

TOM: Hold the door shut from Ruby.

>>3328189
Tell Tom we'll be right there, go unlock the door for him, take in medical room.

>>3328184
>Spade

It's Ace, damn you. Pay attention.

Wait till we meet Red again!
Since nothing seems to stay dead in here, we might as well lock Ruby away somewhere to make sure Tom doesn't get mauled.

>>3328202
Spade, Ace, whatever. We can't let Ruby and Tom think they aren't on the same side.

>>3328208
Spade, Ace, whatever. We can't let Ruby and Tom *know* they aren't on the same side.

fix'd

>>3328208
It's obviously AoS.

>>3328189

Tom should Radio Ruby to steady his nerves.

Ruby, read the plaque next to the ladder while you're at it. Tom, read the chart on the left and the letter on table if they're important.

Could we make sure Ruby and Tom at least tell each other to be wary - they cannot be sure they will be themselves in every situation, and that they would rather have the other be ready to flee should they transform or become rabid.

Pleeeeeaasee?

Ruby: Use key to get into medical room
Tom: Examine last object on table

>>3328143
letter reads
>it should be noted that this accident comes so soon after the death of Subject #1 Stitches....

hmmm. so ruby's dead? if that's the case tom's dead too prolly. they must've gotten whatever disease stitches had and they were being contained in the facility. they could be experiencing some sort of revival but before the effects of becoming an abomination kicking in.

new thread:
>>3328222

>>3328189
Use key to open the locked door.

>>3328226
Not gonna happen, I'm afraid... They're too frightened to wake suspicion in the other... They proved it by all that hiding integral evidence!

>>3328230
The 'Coffins' that Ruby was in revive people.

This is why Red blew himself up. He knew they would try again. So he gave them nothing to work with.
