Reflect light off the blade of your reaping apparatus into the hole.

snap off a branch and throw it in. see how long it takes to make a sound

You walk over to the dying tree, and attempt to snap of a branch. As you pull, rather than breaking, the branch swings down as a lever, and triggers a loud metallic sound. Buzzing of mechanics begin, and the ground beneath your feet starts to shake slightly. A metal platform rises to the top of the nearby hole.

[moxie]

>burrow underground and hide from the contraption

[wafflepan]

Quit messin around and step on the platform, fear is for agents without a heart of cold, unwavering hay.

[Ony]

(Yeah, what Wafflepan said)

AS: Descend

Or, maybe for irony, ascend to the clouds

[moof]

Quit messin around and step on the platform, fear is for agents without a heart of cold, unwavering hay.

You step confidently onto the platform, and descend into an ever darkening cave. The deeper you go, the more a feeling of strangeness comes over over you. As you reach the bottom, a doorway opens up, revealing an ancient, dark computer room. A small spider beetle drops down from the ceiling. You move slowly to the monitor, and press the first red button you see, as such is protocol. Suddenly, without warning, everything begins to change...

[Mibbs]

That was really cool

>ask spiderbeetle whats going on

You get up from the ordeal, suddenly overcome with feelings of... confusion. you now, for the first time, feel emotion.
"Whats going on here? What is this machine and what did it just do?"

"Tell me what you know, Beetle!"

It is unmoved by your intimidation.

flash is great for animating, but why does it suck so bad for gifs

[Ony]

Dirk: Continue exploration of your vicinity.

Nice preview; I was very excited to see that animation - much more enthusiastic than this comment portrays. Really, that was sick, man.

Flash was SWELL! Never expected that.

Dirk : Sit down and think about your life

[moof]

Flash was SWELL! Never expected that.

Dirk : Sit down and think about your life

"hmm... what was all that, it felt like an earthquake? I wish I knew what was going on here. Things just seem to get stranger the longer I wait, and now everything feels completely different."

You get up from the ordeal, confused but otherwise okay. You ponder what has happened in the last hour and a half with your new found feelings of confusion.
