Title: Amnesiac: Aneresian Islands [SG]
Post by: MoonyTheHuman on December 18, 2017, 10:16:06 pm
You wake up contained within a straight jacket; The walls around you heavily padded.

In the corner, a security camera with a microphone haphazardly attached is set up several feet above your head.

You remember nothing.

What do you do?

Author's Notes:
You do not have plot armor. You can die. Don't get yourself killed.

Ponder how they fit this whole padded room into a straitjacket.

You fail to remember them ever doing that.

Calmly disentangle ourselves from the straightjacket.

(Seriously, they're made to be easily escapable so long as you're not struggling and just take the time to do it deliberately.)

You look at the jacket for a while, unsure about how to continue, then it clicks. Memory gained: How to remove self from a Straightjacket
You calmly remove yourself from the jacket, and stand up.

Fine.

You accuse the wall of being communist; the microphone grows a mouth and begins to sing a song about communism ("Dear communist leader; what is that i see? Oh is that a crate full of democraccyyyyy?? LYNCH! LYNCH! LYNCH THEM ALL! This must never happen at alllllllll! bzzzt") and the wall begins to make fingerguns at you.

Then you realise none of that ever happened. Good job.

Say random words to the microphone, say the fricking alphabet if we have to, just get a reaction from whoever's watching.

Rip the camera out, yank the wire out all the way to the end, and then strip the copper cabling. Twist said copper into a shiv with our meaty thick hands.

I wouldn't advise that. You can't reach the camera anyways.
And remember: You can die; For any reason; and there is no respawn.

Throw the jacket so that it gets caught on the camera, covering the lense.

You find it painful to try and speak... You can't. It hurts too much.
You wave at the camera

You throw the jacket at the camera. It takes a minute, but the camera tries to move to shake off the jacket, and fails.

It feels like a hook has dug itself into your mind. It tugs.


You are a security officer. A reject from cell C has just thrown their jacket at a camera.

There is a intercomm nearby, and the camera controls are in front of you.
The door is behind you, and leads to the solitary confinement hall.

I'd advise you try and help "yourself" get out of the situation. Otherwise you're in for a much much much much much much worse time.

Yeah gents. Let's take this game somewhat seriously. Don't have to be stuck up and rigid, but maybe not keep trying to call the walls communist and stuff. Just my two cents.

You taunt the reject in Cell C; and demand they take off the jacket or be sent to reprocessing.

A Hook digs into your mind. It tugs.


"YOU PIG! GET THAT [Untranslatable Insult of high tier; probably worse than "FUCKING"] JACKET OFF MY CAMERA OR YOU'LL BE SENT TO REPROCESSING EARLY!"

You are a Reject.
You are in your cell.
You just got yelled at to remove the jacket from the camera,  but you can't reach it standing up....

After calming down, if possible, lift the straightjacket from the camera, and ask about 'reprocessing'. Be prepared to put the jacket back on the camera if the answer isn't satisfactory -- how else is the camera supposed to keep warm? :<
Title: Re: Amnesiac: Aneresian Islands [SG]
Post by: MoonyTheHuman on January 23, 2018, 02:28:34 pm
I'm going to try and revive this. Fuck the drawings. (I had multiple, and suddenly a glass of water ruins them >: )

You cool off, remove the jacket from the camera, and ask about Reprocessing.

The camera responds quickly, with an apparently automated computer response.
"You should know about the eugenics program, reject. You have multiple genetic defects. Also, Reprocessing folks, we need this one done early!"

You promptly lose it again.

Screams of pain from the death below;
Saws and blades repeating blows;
Crushed into nutrient pastes;
Fed to the animals, given to the crows;
You are nearly... dead.

A hook digs into your mind, and pulls.

You wake up to the sound of your Q beeping.
"IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP, ALBERT. This message will repeat in 30 seconds."
Q, Your personal AI given to you by the government, is annoying as hell, but hey, it works. You probably should get up and get dressed.

So you guys want to get killed? That's how you get killed. I have an entire plot RIGHT HERE )':

Also, You're a civilian at the moment.

Don't smash Q unless you like being in government type trouble.

Don't make me remember i can't trust this forum with weapons. :P

Fun will start in a moment, you guys have a entire city to explore, things to find, people to meet...

Guys when we brain hook I think we are temp jumping into other people to control them, we should probably use this to learn more, then when we jump into someone near the facility do something to help our meat body.

For now, go about normal day and see what this hell hole dystopian world is about.

On a note to VoidSlayer, thats about right, but note the original body is gone now. ):
Also you can't control the hook, it's a plot element :P

The update itself will take me a moment (read: an hour or two) to write, so now is the time to chime in with new actions. (Adding them in won't be too hard)

No. You don't have a beard. I kindly request you stop trying to derail everything, because no fun is allowed like i said, this is more of a story than a game, but i'm taking user input for partial control over it.

You get up and out of bed, get dressed, and head to your kitchen. Q has already prepared a meal for you; Eggs and Bacon, your favorite. You eat up, and head out the front door into the complex. You climb down the stairs and head to the main road, looking around as you go at the people coming and going. Big, small, tall, and short, people of every size and shape come and go here, in this large pedestrian pathway. Paved with fresh [Untranslatable], the road is smooth, without bumps. Off to the right and left of the road is bike lanes, for those who are privileged and rich enough to own one. You head north (Marked by a large N on the road) towards the markets. Colorful fruits, bottles of milk, and foods of every kind sit in the market's stands, alongside several colorful posters. You decide to check out one of the posters:
This poster depicts The Ape's Climb To Manhood with Eugenics, in color.

Intresting. You decide to buy a bag of Oranges for 100 Qweze and head home.
Q greets you on your way in.
"Hello, Albert. Welcome home."
Then you notice something you've never seen before. A camera. A camera in the corner of your kitchen. It's kinda fuzzy, and you can't see it in your left eye, only your right...

You touch the camera, it's very real. The lense even moves to get a better view of your finger.

Draw a smiley face on the box, and a paragraph of illegible text. Pick up the box, and move it so it is staring into a corner, but do not let the camera ever see the boxes face.
