When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

That might be a good idea.

[ but yet roxy is going to try and squeeze through anyway, because surely that isn't the worst idea. if she gets stuck surely she can just intangible her way out. right?? ]

[parodeity]

[ oh my god roxy what did dave say about intangibility! when roxy starts trying to squeeze through, though, dave will throw his weight against the door to see if he can help luke get it open further so she doesn't have quite so much squeezing to do. and so. maybe they can also get in? ]

Be careful, someone had to set this shit up so they're either still there or they're...not...wait, how the fuck would they get out if they did this? Mom, be careful.

[chiseler]

[…well fuck, he didn't even think of that. That's not stopping him from continuing to throw his weight against the door because he picks up on the idea that if they both work at it the three of them might be able to get in. Look he doesn't know Roxy very well but this seems like a Bad Idea to let her go alone.]

Unless it's not a they and it's something else. [Well. That's great. Does the teamwork work to get them all inside?]

[al2955]

[Given that both the door and table are pretty heavy, not quite.

>Keep Trying
>Find Another Way In
>Press 'A' for Ask For Help]

[muties]

[ truth of the matter roxy could probably kick both your asses. well. ok maybe not. a little, though.

sounds like >find another way in might be the better option, unless we press a bc we're idiots. ]

Ok, nope fuck this. Are there any other doors into the cafeteria? A handy window or something?

[parodeity]

[ MASHES THE A BUTTON.

and yes ok maybe roxy could but DAVE IS NOT TAKING CHANCES with the one parental unit who even halfway approves of his ass. ]

Handy window? There aren't any windows that don't lead to like, fuckin' space?

[ no but seriously mod meta text what do ]

Which I mean, throwing ourselves out an airlock is still better than cannibalism.

[chiseler]

I'm not going out into space, man. [Can we not??? He...doesn't want to ask for help since he has a Record of people ignoring him when he asks but you know what why the hell not.] We could ask the AI? I mean I don't know if being like "Hey Alice help us break into a room that's obviously been blocked!" would work but...[Shrug. And a sigh.] Guess we should go get the shovel. [After one more futile, stubborn push on the door.] There's also that back room for the kitchen and to get to the second floor. There might be another door somewhere?

[al2955]

Is something the matter, Luke? I believe you called for me.

[muties]

I meant a window from the halls to the cafeteria, smart asses. Or like, idk, the vents still exist right.

[ going into space may be a bit rash but clearly necessary for survival!! ]

... Apparently that would work. Yes, Alice, Luke wanted to know about gettin' into this here blocked off cafeteria?

[parodeity]

We'd super appreciate the assist, babe, since like. Breakfast time is important for us organics?

[ may as well be nice since they're asking for a favor he guesses ]

[chiseler]

[oh.

ok.

He would have taken the vents too but this will work.]

Uh. What they said. Looks like our door's blocked by a table? Think you could help us out?

[al2955]

[There's a brief pause before Alice speaks again.]

I apologize for the inconvenience - I was not aware the cafeteria had been blocked off. A robot will be along to clear the way shortly.

[And indeed, they can hear a robot moving the table out of the way within a few minutes. Proceed?]

[muties]

[ luke can still go through the vents if he feels like his rebelliousness has not been satisfied. ]

Not aware? Well, shit, that ain't good.

[ opens the door and cautiously peers inside, since dave would holler if she just barged in. is there a party. ]

[parodeity]

[ look roxy would yell at dave too if he just barged in?

he doesn't have his sword out again just yet, but he does fall into step behind roxy immediately, ready to drag her out of the way if that is a thing that needs to happen because their whole fretting about one another thing is definitely not just one way. ]

Thanks, Allie-oop. Man, I fuckin' hate Mondays.

[chiseler]

Better than Fridays around here. Thanks Alice. [And he's following the strilondes right into a room that most definitely is normal and contains nothing horrific. What do they see when all three of them are inside?]

[al2955]

[The cafeteria seems clean at first glance! The only thing noticeable so far is that there seems to be a delicious smell wafting in from the kitchen.]

[muties]

Ok, Garfield 1 and 2. Tho I agree.

[ well, that's. odd. towards the kitchen, then. ]

What, did someone block the door so they could cook? Yo, anyone in here?

[parodeity]

What, like a surprise cooking party? The fuck.

[ dave overtakes roxy in speed easily enough mostly because. he doesn't trust someone not to jump out at them still. GUESS ALL THREE OF US ARE GONNA CAUTIOUSLY LOOK INTO THE KITCHEN?

please let someone have made them pancakes for a surprise party or smth. ]

[chiseler]

Shitty kind of surprise. [there are so many questions he has right now but okay. Are the lights on in the cafeteria and whatever? Not that it matters much since he's...already making his way toward the kitchen. Look he's the oldest and has the least to live for probably and also he's hella curious. That's a bad combo.]

Anything else seem out of place to you two? [Toward the kitchen...he...goes and assuming the other two are following]

[al2955]

[When they enter the kitchen, they'll immediately see that someone prepared a beautifully presented feast for them! What a nice surprise. And oh look, they were even kind enough to paint the walls and floor red with blood.

The centerpiece of the feast is Todd Smith's head, which has been placed upright on a platter with an apple stuffed into his mouth. Next to it is a cutting board upon which his organs and intestines have been neatly piled, as if they were being prepped for chopping. Whoever set this scene appears to have already gotten started, as there's a small bowl of some sort of chopped meat beside the board.

There also seems to be a few things cooking on the stove....]

[muties]

[ casually tries to speed up to keep pace with her kid and mr older protective guy. fight her, both of you.

actually never mind u two go first because whAT THE FUCK ]

... Welp, this looks a little "out of place", I'd say.

[parodeity]

Holy fuck.

[ dave doesn't even have a witty comeback here, paling and immediately stepping closer to roxy. this is

okay holy shit he doesn't even know what this is. he's not going to throw up or faint like other people, but he's blanking on any jokes to make for a second. ]

Ok, I don't want breakfast any more. I am ok with the diet plan of never eating again, but would not recommend this plan to anyone else what the motherfuckin' shit?

[ ok but

he

guesses they need to enter the kitchen.

dave isn't sure where to look first but figures he can go turn off the stove and see wtf is cooking (please be food that is not more of todd, please be food that is not more of todd) ]

[chiseler]

[Um. UM???? Oh gods this is. You know. Yeah.]

...he almost looks better that way. [PEOPLE ARE DEAD, LUKE. But he actually can't process what he's seeing because holy fuck about sums it up. With Roxy behind and Dave turning off the stove he's going to check the walls. Just how fresh is this blood? And he's also looking for any kind of weapon because what the hell was used to chop up A PERSON.]

[al2955]

[There's a large pot gently bubbling on the stove, which had been set to a low heat. If Dave opens the lid, he'll see that Todd's limbs have been shoved in forcefully and are now simmering in their own blood. Next to it is a frying pan upon which his eyes, fingers and tongue have been laid out in a resemblance to a pan of eggs and sausages. The stove beneath the pan is cold; it looks like this pan hasn't been cooked. There also seems to be something in the oven.

The blood's pretty fresh; while it's no longer wet, it hasn't dried completely yet either. It looks like there's a trail of it leading towards the wall. There aren't any weapons around aside from the usual kitchen knives and utensils, but all of those are clean and dry and where they belong; it doesn't look like any of them have been used super recently.]

[muties]

[ LORD... if all the knives and utensils are put away, is there any knives on the tables used for. what they would be used for. does the bowl of chopped meat look like it was cut with knvives? ]

Is it bad I still want some breakfast? [ look listen... ] But holy shit, I don't think I can eat anything that comes out of here again oh my god.
