FORUM CURSES: Code Smug

does everyone know about the vision that sock had?

I search for the food in question
and I proceed to the arcade and play the normal looking anime girl game

(in whichever order makes sense)

“You won’t have to worry about me”

“But there will be… bigger problems than SC-404…”

“…”

“Don’t str4y too far off…”

suddenly, the world around you snapped back to normal.

The drunkard seems to be still fast asleep.

obtained 1 employee ID.

I don’t think anyone’s been backwards/forwards

Not until you’ve dealt with SC-404

The dance revolution machine has nothing strange about it at first glance, as it asks you to pick a song and begin playing.

However you can’t help but keep thinking you’re being watched as you dance…

Lovely.

psssst

hey!

you think there’s someone trying to talk to you.

Where’s the fire exit

they’ve all been shut down due to the facility’s compromise.

I turn around to where I hear the voice (reference understood)

Under Guaponian Fire Code 2035, chapter 6 section C paragraph 8 clause 2 source A, all slightly menacing secret facilities require fire exits nearby at all times. I can get you shut down for this buddy.

No one there.

except the zombie arcade machine.

yo! you!

hey buddy!

DUDE
LETS SUPPRESS THE ABNORMALITIES!

hi flarb

:ghost:

“what’s up, schizophrenia?”

You can see something on the screen of the zombie game.

the opalescent rainbow like fluid calls you…

heeeyy!!!

over here!

i radio mr thorne to give him the code and report what just happened

well shit, i go over there ig

Strangely, as you try wording out your experience, the only things that seem to have reached thorne are the numbers.

“Oh, that’s Mavek, I guess he must’ve got stuck drowned in paperwork, poor bastard”

“Well, If you guys can figure out how to get him situated and sent to the lobby floor, I can get a pickup team with my ability, those soldiers you saw outside.”

“good luck out there, tell me if you need anything else.”

You see the zombie game playing preview clips of the gameplay of the machine, but you also see a rather… strange creature standing mysteriously still in front of the footage behind the screen. as if it was a cropped JPEG.

“heya pal!”

“you got some nice dancing skills! hehehe!”

There is a black square in the corner of your eye.

it is watching you.

it disappears when you try to look at it.
