She let out a soft laugh. "Calm down, Seculus. I think it's gone now anyway."

🌀

"............oh." I cleared my throat and slumped back down. "I knew that."

2015-09-30 06:53:20

●

"Okay. Now just. Go explore. See what you can do."

2015-09-30 06:54:11

🌀

I did just that, finding some metal bits and 'drill parts'. There was a girl's sobbing voice and I shivered. Eventually I came across a large barrel that looked like it was important. "What's this for?"

2015-09-30 06:55:20

●

"You need it to blow up some rocks. Open your inventory, put the drill together, then use it to drill a hole into it."

2015-09-30 06:56:10

🌀

"It's a bit large to roll around, don't you think?" I made the drill and used it, and there was a stream of liquid. "I'm not supposed to drink that, am I?"

2015-09-30 06:57:03

●

"No. You'll die. You have a chemistry pot in your inventory, use it on the liquid. We're essentially making a bomb to blow up the boulders that are blocking the path."

2015-09-30 06:58:47

🌀

"Of course I will. Would probably be more pleasant then being mauled to death by a monster, though. Alright." I set the pot down a couple of times until it was full, then moved on to find said rocks. I set it down and looked at it. "....I don't have a fuse in my inventory, I think."

2015-09-30 07:00:05

●

"This was actually before fuses were really a thing. Place the pot down, and pick up a rock."

2015-09-30 07:01:06

🌀

"Oh? That sounds like an absolutely terrible idea, honestly, but if the game says so." I backed up, lifted a rock, and hesitantly tossed it. The pot clinked, started fizzing, and I ran like Hell.

●

"This was the 1800s, they thought alcohol and opium was a great way to mask the pain."

2015-09-30 07:06:25

🌀

"Well, they weren't wrong." It exploded. I ran like Hell in the /other/ direction now, since the monster would undoubtedly be coming to devour my flesh any second. That is, if it could hear. Ears aren't really guaranteed on monsters.

2015-09-30 07:08:04

●

"Well, for a while. Laudanum is extremely addictive, and once the alcohol wears of you feel even more like shit than before."

2015-09-30 07:09:39

🌀

"Unless you somehow have an unlimited supply. Like Lily seems to." Move. Move. Move. WHY CAN'T HE MOVE FASTER.

2015-09-30 07:10:40

●

"That will destroy your liver and make depression even worse."

2015-09-30 07:11:20

🌀

"I don't need a liver." There was the monster. Oh shit. I ducked behind a box and didn't move.

2015-09-30 07:13:12

●

"What? Do you want mine when yours gives out?"

2015-09-30 07:13:55

🌀

"I.....appreciate the sentiment, but no thank you. Anyways, at this rate I'll be needing a new heart first." Was it gone? I think it's gone. Oh God. Oh God. What's that cracking noise? Is that my spine?

2015-09-30 07:18:26

●

"I can give you that too, but mine might need a jump start before it works. I know CPR so that might help."

2015-09-30 07:19:24

🌀

"Put a fork in my mouth and stick it in the electrical socket. Makeshift defibrillator. Brilliant." I sprinted up and down stairs. Where was it? Could I at least have some audio cues, please?

2015-09-30 07:21:37

●

She laughed. "Sure, lets see if that works."

2015-09-30 07:22:59

🌀

"Even if it doesn't, you'll have a nice new lightning fixtUUUUURE FUCKING HELL" There was something sprinting at me at top speed. I turned and ran myself, but there were no corridors to lose it in. YOU, FRIEND, CAN JUST GO /STRAIGHT/ TO HELL! Not you, Ivory, I mean this monstrosity.

2015-09-30 07:26:02

●

Ivory broke into a fit of laughter. "RUN SECCY, RUN!"

2015-09-30 07:26:54

🌀

"I'M RUNNING! I'M RUNNING!" Seccy? Oh! The lantern! I turned it off, turned another corner, and dove behind a barrel, just as it barreled past me. .....I think I lost several years of my immortal life right there. I rested my forehead on the top of the laptop and caught my breath while it made that weird cracking sound. Just like my ribcage right now.

2015-09-30 07:31:18

●

Ivory's, on the other hand, ribs hurt for a different reason. Laughter. Slight tears streamed down her face as she attempted to calm down. Oh God. That was great.
