RE: Fugue Why - So_Spooky - 10-09-2016 ((I have edited the most recent post to hopefully make it clearer what's going on with Kevin looking out of the cave. I'm a bit pressed for time, though, so it was a rush job. For clarification: that was meant to be Kevin poking his head out of a hole in the side of the cliff, not the rest of his skull. All of the art in this thing is a bit experimental by way of needing to be churned out a lot faster than I normally work, so these kinds of mistakes might be pretty common for a while, unfortunately.)) RE: Fugue Why - Dediles - 10-09-2016 >yeah we've done this before. usually we just 'suggest' actions for people to take and they never know it wasn't their idea, sometimes we get heard, but almost never this early >also your name probably isn't Kevin Costner, because Kevin Costner is an actor where we come from and one of us thought it would be a funny joke. we usually get to 'name' the people we help and we throw in joke suggestions that get rejected for being silly. still it's your name, if you want to continue being called Kevin I don't think that's a problem.

Also, I guess it's pretty dark in here and I didn't realize the cave went any further... uh... so I guess I'll go this way." Kevin?: "Oh... it gets really dark in this tunnel..."

I'd uh, probably prefer not to be borrowing a name... um, I mean I'd like my own... but anything is probably fine." Kevin?: "Hey... I think I see a light over there." Kevin?: "... Um, it sounds like there's music coming from the same tunnel as the light..." Kevin?: "The one on the right looks, uh, like someone built it... like it's artificial... uh yeah... and I think I can hear, um, chains? And someone shouting... Uh..."

Proceed cautiously though, try to get a glimpse of what's beynd te tuneel before it/they can see you RE: Fugue Why - SneakyRobot - 10-13-2016 > Kevin: Toss a rock down each tunnel & await any response from either. RE: Fugue Why - tronn - 10-13-2016 Peek around the corner carefully, if the other people are doing something awkward you don't want to stumble upon them. What do you remember from your previous life, anything at all? Were you a boy or girl? RE: Fugue Why - ☆ C.H.W.O.K.A ☆ - 10-13-2016 go down the artificial tunnel. it's manmade, that means civilization ho! RE: Fugue Why - Dediles - 10-13-2016 >I'd like to share my observations. You are a skeleton clad in a robe with green fire for a pupil, you were probably part of this harvester's union, and you are deep underground. All of this leads me to believe you are some kind of grim reaper. A 'Harvester' of souls that pass on. given that context, you are probably in some kind of underworld, purgatory, or afterlife of some kind.

I did that. Uh.. I guess I'm not very strong... at all. Endurance also probably isn't something I'm good at. But I guess I can jump pretty high... and I think I can probably run pretty fast? It's hard to test in a cave... and um, also without making a lot of noise... Oh yeah, I guess my coordination is alright. I don't really know how to test that one..."

( > If it lunges to attack get the heck out of there) RE: Fugue Why - btp - 10-14-2016 Quick reminder: you are a skele-dude and contain very little that Is edible. Also you probably have a high resistance to poisons and venoms and the like what with the no organs and all. Also, falling down the stairs did not break all your bones! You have some degree of durability! At least more than half-a-face would suggest. Don't make eye contact and just shuffle on past. It probably just has some boring fetch quest for you to do. RE: Fugue Why - agentwd40 - 10-15-2016 Poor thing, it's chained down here. You don't look appear very edible, maybe you can befriend it if you find some way to free it.

However, even if your question is why is he shackled down here they might just lie. |
