First time starting one of these, let's hope everything goes well.

Two things before you start. 1: If you second a post, that post will actually be more likely to be chosen; and 2: If the general consensus is to do something that will get you killed, you'll get killed. I have some backup plans for if you do kill the characters, but let's try not to use those.

Your name is Alice. You were training to be a soldier in a boot camp near the west coast. The last thing you remember is going to sleep in you bunk, then waking up here. You can see a kinfe and what looks like a dog treat near you.

What do you do?

> Examine surroundings.

I suppose we should start this quest off on the right foot
> Wield dog treat, wear knife as stylish hairpin

[perpetuallyAwesome]

>Use knife to pry door off of hinges, then use door as a makeshift shield.

YES! There is absolutely no way this plan could ever go wrong!

>Use knife to pry door off of hinges, then use door as a makeshift shield.

You'd do that, but you have no way to fix the door to your arm.

Second.

Grid the dog biscuit into a paste, combine with saliva to make effective glue. Use said glue to attach some sort of arm-affixer.
Not a joke. Don't believe me? Try it yourself.

I used to do this all the time when I was little because I saw it on TV, it never worked.

Nah, you think you'll just step onto the sidewalk instead. Alleys are for losers, and you won't be able to see as much from inside one.

You'll need to decide which door to take first! There are five you can see, and you have no idea who would be behind any of them.

what do you do?

[Haze]

The one on the corner, search i t carefully. Then take its door.

[Disva]

Enter the left/up door.
Wield knife with equal suspicion and dementia.

[Professor zobot]

Take bottom left door. Loudly demand that anyone inside prove they're not "infected". Be vague as to what "infected" means while brandishing a knife.

Infected? What is that supposed to mean? Like Zombies or something? Pshaw. You've never seen proof of a real zombie, and you probably never will. They're just made up for the horror movies!

Now THAT makes sense. You'll just take your knife out of your hair, go into this here house, and demand to know whats goi- OH DEAR LORD IS THAT BLOOD?


what do you do about this?

Does anyone know a good way to do blood splatters? Because I tried a few things, and I'm honestly not satisfied with any of them.

[Roselalonde]

> Taste test. Because, yanno, it might be watery ketchup.

[Disva]

Crouch.
Nobody can see you if you crouch.

For blood, use a bunch of dark red curved lines from on origin point, all pointing in the same direction, and have a wider splat facing the opposite direction. And then add a light spray around it. Make sure you can still see the area that it's on though.

Alright, you crouch down by the liquid and check to see if it's blood. Because there is always a possibility it's not actually what it looks like.


Yeah, that's blood.


Well, we know that a person was most definitely injured here. What do you do?

Thanks Disva.

[Roselalonde]

> Follow it.

[Askia]

i think DEAD is more likely then injured

> follow the blood trail

[Andorxor]

>Start cleaning

[Roselalonde]

> follow the blood trail

True, because no one could bleed that much. But it could be pig blood, maybe?

[Disva]

>Stairs
When was the last time that following a trial of blood ever did any good for anyone?

Yup! Thankfully, I get a lot of practice with blood from Better Off Alone.

Yeah, the kitchen may be the absolute worst room I've ever drawn.

Well, you can go check it out. Hopefully it is just pig blood. Although you're not sure you'd want to meet someone who'd kill a pig and leave a bloodstain like that. . .

Ooh, a dining room. How quaint. You're not sure why there aren't any chairs, but that's a mystery for another time. You still have a blood trail to follow. . . and that looks like an arm in the blood trail. Yeah, you need to find out what's going on.


You follow the trail into the next room and see. . . oh god. . .


A person, with no eyes, who appears to be eating the remains of someone else. He might not be able to see you, but you can tell he knows you're there.
Quickly, what do you do?

[Disva]

>You are in a kitchen, there IS a knife.
Plant this knife right in it's neck, then kick it in deeper. This should either kill it or disable it long enough for you to, say, grab a large frying pan and smash open it's head with it. Failing this, run.

Interior rooms suck, I know. Hence why I don't have them
But, you are doing this well! I have faith that this will turn out to be great!
