Diabolus Ex Machina

[The Glamour Nazi]

>continue towards the source with the gun in my hand

[Keaton]

I am unable to fire the gun in time as the unthinkable horror tears me to shreds after torturing me to insanity.  When death comes, I welcome it as sweet release.

My my, that was quick.  I'll make the restart as painless as possible for you.

When I come to, I am in a poorly-lit room with an unidentifiable stench.  There is one door, a desk with a few drawers, and a closet from whence the only light source emanates.  On the desk, there is:

a loaded gun
a length of rope
two keys, both different

>Pick everything on the desk up

>Go to closet and take the corpses wallet

>go to the hall with my gun ready

[Keaton]

>Pick everything on the desk up

Done.

>Go to closet and take the corpses wallet

Done.  I don't feel any less guilty about looting a corpse the second time.

>go to the hall with my gun ready

It is pitch dark.  You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

>Use a Stealth Boy and proceed slowly down the hall.

>If Stealth Boy is unavailable, proceed slowly down the hall.

>Use a Stealth Boy and proceed slowly down the hall.

>If Stealth Boy is unavailable, proceed slowly down the hall.

A hungry grue stumbles by and snacks on your brain.

When I come to, I am in a poorly-lit room with an unidentifiable stench.  There is one door, a desk with a few drawers, and a closet from whence the only light source emanates.  On the desk, there is:

a loaded gun

two keys, both different

You can feel various objects still in your pockets.

Fallout 3 item that makes you invisible.

Also, dammit! DX

>Check pockets.
>Take items from desk.
>Open closet.

[Keaton]

Fallout 3 item that makes you invisible.

I know, the character doesn't :P

>Check pockets.

What a novel idea!  I find:
a set of keys (aside from the two I discovered in the room)
an unloaded gun
a length of rope
.45 ACP hollow point cartridges, 9 of them
a crumpled up note
a compact LCD flashlight
knives
lint

>Take items from desk.

Taken.

>Open closet.

The closet has no door.

[Twilight Wolf]

>Load gun from pocket with cartridges.
>Turn LED* flashlight on and off to make sure it isn't dead.
>Examine closet.

[Keaton]

>Load gun from pocket with cartridges.

Loaded.  I feel dangerous.

>Turn LED* flashlight on and off to make sure it isn't dead.

I don't have an LED flashlight.  the LCD flashlight is working fine, however.

>Examine closet.

It is filled with clothes and odor.

I realize I've been switching between you and I.  I'll stick with you from now on.  Much less confusing.

[Twilight Wolf]

>I'm afraid of what might be hidden in the closet. I turn on the flashlight and open the door out of the room.
>Use flashlight to illuminate hallway, gun at the ready.

[Keaton]

>I'm afraid of what might be hidden in the closet. I turn on the flashlight and open the door out of the room.

On.  Opened.

>Use flashlight to illuminate hallway, gun at the ready.

The hallways is lined with a few doors, and is too long for you to be able to illuminate its entirety.  You don't feel like you're alone.

[Twilight Wolf]

>Open the closest door, gun drawn.

[Keaton]

>Open the closest door, gun drawn.

It is a set of stairs, leading up to the next floor.  You can smell burnt food wafting down from above.

[Twilight Wolf]

>Examine stairs with flashlight. Stay alert to any signs of movement or sounds.
