Waterworks

>Curse Superego for being the most useless projection

your subconscious just has a weird fixation with slick's foot, i guess.

> Well, the next thing that happened is that you woke up at the lower level. Let your brain deduce what happened next.

>Try fill out the blanks with a different convenient memory to cushion your fall

I dunno, make shit up????

Might as well. What difference would it make, anywa-









You are a concerned citizen. You've secretly entered the local water pumping station in hopes that you'll be able to find some answers and solve some problems. hey




This entire week, your shower has been covering you in black sludge while your kitchen sink has outright refused to spare you even a single droplet of water. It hasn't rained for months! That last one was probably completely unrelated but what the hell. hello?

The entire place has been locked down, and all of your complaints have been ignored. You figure it's time to find the person in charge and give them a piece of your mind. she seems busy

You should probably figure out where they actually are, first. are you there?

>Check your IPDASMARTPHONE and learn who is in charge of this stupid place.

Check your relatively intelligent phone for signal. Venturing into an seemingly-unmanned industrial area does not seem like a safe and wise decision.

nooOOOOO CONNIE THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING TO DO RIGHT NOW YOU FOOL

>This isn't real. Slap yourself in the face.

> Look out the hole through which you entered.

>Is that.... clean water?

>hungrytake puddlehungryhungryhungryhungryhungryHUNGRY

>Screw finding authority. Take charge! YOU own this place now.

>Hey doesn't that french guy from the water plant have a water hose? Maybe you could ask him to fix your shower problem.

>Nah, go and get a pizza instead. This'll sort itself out.

>Frolick in the water puddle

>Go liberate the little tied up guy but tzk his vest rather than his helmet

I hope you resolved the issue with MSPFA.

>Use prior knowledge to have a distinct advantage when retreading events. Like befriending Slick. Or Tubs!

> Fast-forward to the kick in the face

just a little bit of theorizing: this could be Connie's brain struggling to parse something she wouldn't be able to understand by "dressing it up" as something she would...

>Go Right!

Check your relatively intelligent phone for signal. Venturing into an seemingly-unmanned industrial area does not seem like a safe and wise decision.

Smart phone? You don't have one of those, and you probably never will. You're not sure how you'd use it to find out who's in charge in this place to begin with. Maybe someone made an app or something. miss

Nevertheless, you pull out your relatively intelligent phone and wwwwwwwwait a minute no, she's still not listening




That wasn't how it went.

> Look out the hole through which you entered.

No. No no no. You've already done this. You don't want to do it again. You're not supposed to be here.

You're not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to be here. Try to put yourself somewhere else. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! gotta admire that energy, though





You are a disgruntled denizen. You caught the opportunity to infiltrate the local steel mill after the door was left wide open. Like the workers are mindless or something? Jeez. she's just gonna jump over like that?





Recently, the mill has been making all sorts of weird noises and loud dins that keep you awake all night. You feel irritable at the best of times without the assistance. she just ain't paying us any attention

Not to mention that steel mills don't usually build structures on-site, and a skyscraper with ominous black clouds circling it is reason enough to call shenani...

...gans.

Hold up.




You're not even you anymore. Your goth phase ended a decade ago.

These aren't your memories, but you're still remembering them? You're somehow two people at once. What the hell is going on? How'd you manage to pull this off? helloooo




Maybe if you focus on wanting to get out of here, you can do it again? she's doing it again


Right, you just want to go back. To the way things used to be. Come on... maybe we should just leave




You are a peeved person. You've just rappelled down through the skylight of the Mespeth power generator in the hopes of finding some answers. no no, here, i'll get her attention

hey



...Nope. Getting colder. Roll again. miss

ma'am

HEY

HEY






...What?
























what

SpoilerShow

All of this would have made more sense 5+ years ago D:

Big props to Seiga and That One Guy for making Steelworks and Powerworks, respectively. And another thank you to those who made fan art back in the day... Looking back all those years, it feels like a different era; one that has passed into legend.

And two more thanks - One for Andrew Hussie, with Problem Sleuth and Homestuck (of course)... But also to Professor Mayonaka. While Problem Sleuth and Homestuck were Andrew's work, the Professor laid the groundwork for what would become the Midnight Crew, and even took a crack at The Felt before their pasts were revealed by Andrew.

Unfortunately, a lot of the images are lost. I waited too long, and turned what could've been a cool nod to MSPAFA into one big you-had-to-be-there moment. Bleh.

That was awesome.

>"Universal Projector," eh? What happens if you cut the film...? Do it!

I'll be honest, the reveal got a good laugh out of me.

> Is that a console on the machine? What can you do with it? Explore this brain space a little.

> Disregard previous events involving the two strange green men.
> Looks like some sort of projector... is it even on?

... at least MSPFA is (at least somewhat) functional. Not sure if you can add new pages to the mirror yet, though.

>Goth chick looked good tho, make a mental note to work on your eyelashes later.

>Well you were being assimilated by some kind of psychic-ish hive mind, might explain where all the other memories come from.

>Mess with the projector

>CC: Just keep your sense of self good, don't fuck with alternate you's unless you can keep yourself yourself instead of one of them.
