How about... some more booze? And when that's done, start thinking. About something, I don't care what.
You know, it's funny how drinking 8 cups of water a day seems impossible but 8 beers and 3 shots of vodka go down in an hour like a fat kid on a seesaw...
Yes, thinking! That's something you need for braining things! And braining is important for when you're drunk! Uh...
Well, now you're mostly thinking about how those beers and vodka are probably doing some naughty things down in your stomach. You better send down a glass of wine to give them a stern talking to and some cognac for moral support...
grab a couple of spare rifle batteries and practice reloading a bit. Proceed to partially barricade the doorways to force enemies to crawl or jump through.
Reloading seems to be a fairly simple matter. You press a button on the side of the rifle and the battery pops out. Then all you have to do is shove a new battery in there and let it snap into place. Nice and neat.
You then set off to boarding up the doorways to make entry difficult, using up about half of the boards in the process.
1 Minute 48 Seconds RemainingFind a good, defensible location. A tower, if possible. Bring all our stuff (unless Dustan objects).
This building appears to have formerly been a barn, so you head upstairs with the box of grenades and ammo. There, you find a perch out of an upper window that gives you a good view out of the north side of the building. However, to the south you are almost completely blind.
I Munte 48 Seconds RemainingAfter taking a moment to start speaking, hesitating noticeably, Juniper quickly builds in confidence, leading to a string of questions.
"Ummm... Yessir. Sorry, I'm a little dazed. The man who escorted me was a little intense.
I met an entity upon, err, perishing on a 'mission' I was sent upon. He really seemed to enjoy games; we played Boggle. He was quite good. Uhhh... I was told he was 'Death', but I didn't quite understand everything the other scientist told me. Apparently it feeds off life energy given off by dying creatures? If so, does this mean the creature is omnipresent? Or does it occupy some kind of other dimension. Is it even real? And could it be theoretically destroyed? And if so, what would be the consequences?"
"Yeah, Rans is pretty high-strung. You don't have to guess why I spend all my time back here." Dr. Voss snorts. "So yeah, Death. The board game enthusiast himself. In simple terms, we essentially know nothing about him other than he isn't supernatural. Even so, we only know that because ever since the creation of revival technology every single last person has reported playing board games with a shadowy, skeletal figure.
Now, the fact that absolutely everyone reports this happening to them after they die, we can only assume that this figure is some sort of powerful psychic being. We call him Death for obvious reasons, and the idea that he feeds off of the energy of the dying is pure hypothesis. When we send people out to ask him about, he generally ignores those questions.
As for your questions about for its omnipresence, or it occupying another dimension, or killing it? We don't know, your guess is just as good as mine. And in any case, I'm a xenobiologist, not a philosopher. Leave the big questions to the bigger men, am I right?"
He chuckles.
"Anywho, you got any more questions?"
