PANIC

[Loaka of the Wind]

LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL– uh PRESS START ADVENTURE …

You disturbed a thing in a room and ran away like the scared, defenceless little bot you are. Now that you’re here, you think about what you’re going to do. Peeking out to the left while panicking, you see …

… a whole load of nothing. Maybe it didn’t follow you? Could it have stayed in the room, as scared of you as you are of it? Regardless, you exit the room, flailing wildly, just in case. You smack into the wall, but nothing comes of it except a resounding CLANG. It seems the walls are made of steel.

Finally done with your panic attack, you head to the right instead.

Not much down here. There’s a pale blue door at the end, marked with a gear-shaped symbol. There’s also that turn to the left. If you recall that note with the map …

… Looks like that turn to the left might possibly loop around to where you were before.

[Narrative Prompt]

((Use the back of your head as your new face))

[I]

Don’t use the back of your head as your new face.

[Narrative Prompt]

((Trust Vex))

[Loaka of the Wind]

You’re really not sure what to think. So, you decide instead to do. What should you instead do?

[Ickle Wickle Dickle-chan]

((Open the door with the gear-shaped symbol.))

[DolimiccanDragon]

((Open that door and say hi to Dave.))

[I]

know what? i’m at a blank. listen to those guys.

[Hanai Marie]

((State what you already know about this whole thing in an orderly fashion, Who is vex? where are you? Who are the tiny voices subtly guiding your actions?))

[Delta Aiken Nomani]

(Go back and hug the creepy guy everyone is afraid of. He just needs a little love.)

[Loaka of the Wind]

Hm … time to think back on everything you know. Absolutely everything …

Starting from the start, you knew you were in a room. You found out you were missing your voice chip, that the speaker spoke a strange language, and that your shadow was Totally Normal. You remembered that you could read, that your mouth was drawn on with a marker.
You learned about HP, EP and INV, and how they have failed to affect your life so far. You found out that you didn’t know what wi-fi is (you still don’t), that there was a note on the back of your head and that it told you to not trust Vex (or maybe it told you not to trust Ral?). You made a mental note to trust and distrust Vex, wondered about voices and then tore apart the speaker. You discovered, to your merit, that you are some sort of cannibal robot and you were able to install the stolen voice chip from the speaker. You barely figured out the password to the door, activated your automatic mapping systems, discovered some rooms and opened a salmon-coloured door. You encountered a mystery thing and ran like a wuss at the first sight of it. You made a mental note to use and not use the back of your head as your new face, and then made the note to, once again, trust Vex. Unfortunately, you don’t know who Vex is (or Ral for that matter), or why you’re listening to these insane mutterings in your head. You’re afraid that the answer to that last part is ‘because you can’t think for yourself’.

Wow, that was a lot of thinking. You open that door and say hi to Dave. You categorise Dave under the growing list of ‘entities you don’t know’.

This appears to be some manner of storage locker. You can see:
An odd METAL MOP, somewhat taller than yourself.
A METAL BOX, that you can neither move nor open normally. There’s some sort of mechanism on the side.
A J-LEVEL KEYCARD. You only know that it’s J-LEVEL from the J-LEVEL KEYCARD printed on the other side.
