Your name is JACK NOIR.
You have been wandering the halls of a MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON since you BROKE OUT through a series of SHENANIGANS, which left you with a BLINDED RIGHT EYE and a ROBOTIC METAL STUB for an arm.
The halls have been EMPTY and WINDOWLESS, and you are growing tired of STAIRS. You'd almost feel like THROWING YOURSELF DOWN THEM if you weren't propelled by your desire for VENGEANCE and GENERAL VIOLENCE.
You have stopped before a pair of DOUBLE DOORS due hearing some STRANGE NOISES behind them.
What will you do?
Inventory:
>BADASS EYEPATCH
>2x MAKESHIFT SHIV (glass)
>4x BLOODY FLUFF MOUNDS (flammable)
>2x TOOTH HALVES

>JACK NOIR is a character from Homestuck, a webcomic I highly recommend! Knowledge of the comic is not required to play.

Jack: Masturbate furiously
>Stand, back to wall, next too the door and knock, with a shiv ready to shank the poor bloke to come through.
>>46798173
>Equip Shiv
>Open double doors
Stand in front of the double door and start masturbating furiously. Moan loudly to attract someone on the other side to open the door.
>>46798267
>>46798306
This.
>not even spritefagging your shit quest
Put ear up against the wall and listen through door
>>46798267
>>46798306
You consider the NOTION, having been recently equipped with a new METAL HAND, but your STUB is far too short! Fiddlesticks.
>>46798295
You equip a MAKESHIFT SHIV.
>>46798277
>>46798365
You place your back against the wall and wait for the next POOR SAP TO RECEIVE A GOOD STABBING.
Nothing happens.
>>46798365
You hear a series of LOUD THUMPS in the distance.
>>46798320
Make a series of loud thumps in response
>>46798586
You smack your METAL FIST against the DOUBLE DOORS in response, leaving a SIZABLE DENT.
There is no response. The LOUD THUMPS continue unabated.
>>46798624
Kick down the door and give the finger at somebody.
>>46798631
Letting your INSTINCTS take over, you KICK the doors open while blasting the THUMPERS with your GESTURE OF PROFANITY.
You are greeted with another EMPTY HALLWAY. However there is a STRANGE DOOR on the other end, colored BLUE and RED.
The THUMPS are louder, accompanied by a STRANGE WHIRRING.
>>46798700
knock on blue and red door and see if anyone comes out
>>46798700
Time to use the good old tactic... LEEEROY JEEEEKINS!!!
>>46798754
>>46798762
Invoking the power of SOME GUY, you CHARGE FORWARD IN RECKLESS ABANDON towards the STRANGE DOOR before suddenly screeching to a halt.
A GIGANTIC RED ROBOT appears from the RIGHT SIDE of another hallway. It resembles a TWO LEGGED BIRD, only ANGRIER and LACKING FEATHERS. It THUMPS out of sight to the LEFT after several moments. It seems to not have noticed you.
The HALLWAY in front of you remains EMPTY. There is also, now apparent, a hallway to your LEFT and RIGHT.
>>46798856
Jack: Chase the robot down.
Follow the robot
>>46799009
You ENGAGE IN PURSUIT with the RED ROBOT, which is not the most difficult feat considering its GENTLE PACE.
You are now behind the RED ROBOT. It continues on its PATH, of which you CANNOT SEE on account of it being GIGANTIC.
>>46799067
Attempt to climb the robot
>>46799119
The RED ROBOT is rather SQUAT, so you SUCCESSFULLY attempt to climb it. You are now hanging onto its BACK.
You now hear LOUD THUMPS somewhere BEHIND you.
>>46799067
Attempt to see if anyone is piloting this massive robot.
>>46799217
You saw no VIEW PORT on the front of the RED ROBOT. You place your HEAD against its TORSO , listening for any INNER LIFE, but you only hear WHIRRS and BEEPS. You assume that it is AUTOMATED.
The LOUD THUMPS behind you grow LOUDER
>>46799355
Ascend to the highest point on the robot.
>>46799431
You ASCEND to the HIGHEST MANAGEABLE POINT, considering the robot takes up most of the HALLWAY. You climb on top of its HEAD and duck down to avoid the CEILING. The ROBOT has not ACKNOWLEDGED you yet.
You can now see the ROBOT is at a JUNCTURE., towards a HALLWAY to the RIGHT. It is beginning now to TURN, a process which is NOT VERY QUICk.
The LOUD THUMPS behind you have CEASED, but you now hear a series of QUICK BEEPS.
>>46799498
Perform some sort of acrobatic fucking PIROUETTE in the general direction of the HALLWAY to the RIGHT, to get away from the beeping which is obviously a BOMB.
>>46799675
You perform a MURDEROUS MANEUVER to the RIGHT, springing off the ROBOT and landing into the HALLWAY clear of danger. The BEEPING stops.
The ROBOT seems to have noticed your ANTICS now that you are in its FIELD OF VIEW. It completes its TURN, and begins BEEPING as it faces you.
>>46798173
wait, he was permanently blinded? just from taking a glance at a light source? thats some shit right there.
>>46799799
Attempt to stab the robot.
>>46800172
You SHANK the GIGANTIC ROBOT right in its ROBOTIC GUTS.
Your HOMEMADE SHANK breaks into little pieces against its HARD EXTERIOR.
The ROBOT slowly turns downwards to observe you with what appear to be SMALL EYES.
>takes my advice but gives the fuck up halfway
>thread dies again
NICE
JOB
>>46799810
It's why Terezi is blind as well, if you're familiar with that troll.
>>46799799
Go behind it to test it's memory
>>46800448
You SCAMPER underneath the ROBOT before it can continue to do WHATEVER THE HELL. It pauses for SEVERAL MOMENTS, before RESETTING POSITION and continuing ONWARDS. Its memory appears to be COMPLETE SHIT.
You now can hear LOUD STOMPS resume behind you.
>>46800361Sorry famalam but I can't draw giant robots
>>46800515
Equip second shiv and turn around.
>>46800667
You equip your second HOMEMADE SHIV and WHIP AROUND to face whatever it is STOMPING YOUR WAY.
It appears to be a BLUE ROBOT, similar in build to the RED ONE It is beginning its LABORIOUS TURN to face you, but does not seem to have SPOTTED YOU yet.
>>46800724
Run under the robot and into the other hallway.
>>46801823
Before it can NOTICE YOU you make a mad dash under the BLUE ROBOT. Its STOMP shakes the ground under your feet, but you seem to have made it to RELATIVE SAFETY.
Now there are TWO ROBOTS behind you, and an EMPTY HALLWAY in front of you.
>>46800448
she stared at an intense sun probably for several minutes if not hours.
jack just glanced at a fucking QR code scanner.
>>46802184
Don't fuck with lasers kids.
>>46802322
i'm taking that is from personal experience?
also man, writing must be pretty hard, i can't even think of a general direction for this story to go.
try going the opposite direction of the robots?
since they can not be stabbed, i doubt jack would have much interest in them, more so escaping.
>>46802848
There are multiple ways to solve this puzzle.
>>46802184
Jack has led a rough livemany rough liveSpartially because of his own tendency to gravitate toward violence and partially because there isn't a single person in any of his possible universes who likes himexcept for Ms. Paint, I guess?
>>46803054
Yes, and the one this story follows is the one thatslaughtered universes
If nobody wants to do this puzzle I'll move us along next episode to the meat of the story.
>>46803136
You still here? If so, climb the blue bot
>>46803136
does there appear to be anyway to controll the movement of the robots?
as seen by
>>46800515
im thinking maybe the goal is to get it to slam into the door.
>>46805249
>>46806051
You HOP n' CLING to the BLUE ROBOT'S back.
You see a number of WIRES and PANELS stretching across its BACKSIDE.
>>46806118
I want to figure out what they do, but I simply can't control my stabbing hand. Slice em, slick
>>46806141
Using your SHARPENED INDEX DIGIT, which DIDN'T STOP BEING A THING, you CARVE off the LARGEST PANEL. It drops behind you.
There appear to be several LEVERS; THREE to be exact.
>>46806203
Are they in a line or some triangular formation?
Are they all up, down, or mixed?
Regardless, invert whichever is the furthest left
>>46806255
The LEVERS are placed in a HORIZONTAL ROW.
You YANK on the LEFT LEVER, which is somewhat of a HASSLE. You hear a series of CLICKS as the ROBOT, continuing on its PATH, raises a LEFT ARM from its TORSO.
The LEVER has been pulled HALFWAY.
>>46806203
Punch 'em.
>>46806345
You SMACK the MIDDLE LEVER. It RETRACTS into MIDDLE of the panel, which causes a series of SPARKS and BAD NOISES.
The Robot's LEFT ARM begins to rapidly PUNCH OUTWARDS like a piston. Turning into ANOTHER HALLWAY, the PUNCHES leaves several CRATERS in the walls.
You see the BLUE AND RED DOOR up ahead.
>>46806429
Left lever up to 11, if all goes well it's MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE
>>46806733
You crank the LEFT LEVER to its CLOSEST SETTING.
The LEFT ARM rises up into a kind of GUARD POSITION. However, the RAPID PUNCHING means that the BLUE ROBOT begins to destroy the CEILING.
You cling closely to avoid the DEBRIS.
>>46806823
Left lever back to middle, right to middle
I also take note to remember how to distinguish between my left and right
>>46806823
I'm happy to see this EXCELLENT THREAD is back, I suggest we attempt to RAPIDLY PUNCH the BLUE AND RED DOOR.
>>46806850
Taking note on the crucial differences between your LEFTS and RIGHTS, you push the LEFT LEVER back to HALFWAY and pull the RIGHT LEVER to HALFWAY.
The BLUE ROBOT is now PUNCHING FURIOUSLY with both of its arms directly in front of it. You can see the RED ROBOT about to turn the corner up ahead in the HALLWAY.
The BLUE AND RED DOOR is very close. It seems to have TWO FISTS imprinted on it, one on EACH SIDE.
>>46806927
The ROBOT keeps punching in ONE DIRECTION ONLY! You do not know how to STEER IT.
>>46806939
>>46807081
now that the BLUE ROBOT is ready for attack, mount the RED ROBOT. see if there are any similar CONTROLS on it.
>>46807150
Seconding this.
>>46807150
You LEAP off the BLUE ROBOT and head underneath it, making a dash for the RED ROBOT as it turns the FAR CORNER.
You hear a number of BEEPS behind you. You seem to have TRIGGERED a response from the BLUE ROBOT; you hear its THUMPS QUICKEN as it QUICKENS ITS PACE in your direction.
>>46807215
Let's make sure to keep our eye on them both, being RAPIDLY PUNCHED by a GIANT ROBOT seems like it would be counterproductive to CONTINUED LIVING.
>>46807260
You LOOK BACK as your HASTEN YOUR GAIT, and turn the CORNER.
The RED ROBOT has begun its VERY SLOW PATH through the HALLWAY. You LEAP onto its BACK and pry off the BACK PANEL with your SHARPENED DIGIT.
The LEVERS are the EXACT SAME. From behind you it seems the BLUE ROBOT has almost MADE THE CORNER.
>>46807312
similarly ACTIVATE (ie punch) the MIDDLE LEVER. it seems to activate the actual function.
>>46807556
You PULL the MIDDLE LEVER this time. It is MUCH EASIER to YANK.
The RED ROBOT suddenly HOPS UPWARD into the air, taking you for a RIDE. It crashes down again, and after PULLING YOURSELF TOGETHER and you notice two HOLES in the floor. You must have MANUALLY ACTIVATED the PUNCHING SYSTEM before LIFTING ANY ARMS.
The BLUE ROBOT begins its TURN towards your direction; it SMASHES THE WALL as it does so.And at this pivotal moment I'm going to go to sleep, lets continue this episode tomorrow!
>>46807632
fun read, I hope to join the next one
