Or, it could be a THEY decedent from Nicole's. Though I have to say, your idea is very tempting.

Lots of people's passing comments to us aren't making sense when taken altogether. I'm not sure what it means. Alone or in net or that have you.

[Brentai]

I'd say whatever was in Nicole hijacked Jacob after she got shot.

They were alone together.  David was knocked out.  Jacob was distracted, treating the wound.  It's a perfect opportunity to escape a wounded body.

Wait, is this The Thing?  This is fucking The Thing.

[Sharkey]

Yeah, redvines from hell might have been a bit of a damn tipoff.

[Brentai]

...I'm not sure which of those solutions will end this game faster.

Cheating bitch.

[Arc]

I'd say whatever was in Nicole hijacked Jacob after she got shot.

Between this likely deduction, the combination solution, the alcohol theory, and the reasoning for SCREEEEEE, I'm ready to award you MVP right here and now.

[Brentai]

Hey Friday, are you still playing the game in this thread and just copying into the archive thread, or are you going to be posting story updates in the other thread exclusively?

[Air]

Okay, so I'm reading the story from Friday's post log, and I'm at the part where you're about to tell benny your name, and there's a post right above it in mega man 9 that says "My name is Zero, for we are many." I fucking LoL'd hard.

Oh, guess that was a bit too 4chan-ish, sorry.

[Classic]

reasoning for SCREEEEEE

C-could someone refresh my memory on that one? Are you talking about it being a call for more faceless?

Also, how seriously should we take Guild's ejection scene? Do you suppose we're actually just worms inside the protagonist's head?

But no McF, there's something I don't buy about the jumping theory. It's the "why". Why is Nicole still such an important psychic component to our hallucinations? Why should it jump to Jacob but give a "spawn" to us? I think we've been on the same page for everything else thus far, so why a jump rather than an implanting or a 3rd strain of THEY?

[Sharkey]

Again, if there's some other whatchathinger here, it's kind of stupid to go assuming malice before anything resembling malice is actually shown. Much less start thinking about blowing anybody away for their failure to go around being a dick when everyone else is pretty much doing that, including us.

Out of everyone involved here, Kiddo and Jake are the -only- two people who have failed to fuck with anyone in any way whatsoever. If they've got worms (and I'm not guessing that until they actually start dragging their asses across the floor) they must have a pretty good kind.

2.  We need to get going.

she hasn't taken any actual action that's in any way harmful to anyone.

The two people we first saw her with had their heads suddenly explode.

[Classic]

I still say that was us. Or rather, our THEY.

Could be they pissed it off by breaking up its gestation period?

[Brentai]

Heads exploded in proximity to her.  Unless you're Red Mage, that proves nothing.

[Romosome]

What do you mean?

If you're saying the people were infected and their heads exploded, I don't know why that'd happen instead of converting them, and they both were not missing eyes.

If you're saying I (we) did it, if Faceless could explode heads (from a distance even), I'd (we'd) be dead several times over now.  Pretty sure they don't do that.

[Air]

We can check about the "are we worms" thing. Just vote to a tie and have guild be the tie breaker.  If his worm really is dead there will be no breaker, and if there is a breaker than it was just a BS post.

[Romosome]

Heads exploded in proximity to her.  Unless you're Red Mage, that proves nothing.

Right, it's just circumstantial evidence that makes no sense to attribute to a little girl that grins creepily, has knowledge of all the parasites, constantly makes ominous things, and brain-raped us in our dream when we decided to go to her despite being warned repeatedly that she was worse than death itself.

...I shouldn't bother, I already know you just want us to ssssssssssssss

[Classic]

Our tentacles are/were fast enough to catch a bird unawares and kill it. I don't find it too unlikely that our THEY crushed them. Which could be close enough to our dazed perceptions so as not to make a difference. Though it does explain why Nicole stared at us with wide eyes when we passed out, it doesn't quite explain why our THEY didn't decide to end Nicole as well.

Is it that your working theory places the responsibility of our survival on a neutral member of the THEY that decided to pop the humans and leave Nicole and us happily infected?

I guess that makes sense. It just seemed to fit a little with the evidence once no-face started dropping hints that we've activated THEY powers in our sleep before. And a possibility too tragic/cool to not want to believe.

[Classic]

We can check about the "are we worms" thing. Just vote to a tie and have guild be the tie breaker.  If his worm really is dead there will be no breaker, and if there is a breaker than it was just a BS post.

But guild was definitely kicked out for "disrupting the game". If you're using sleeping pills, just go to sleep. The story's still going to be here in the morning.

Probably.

[Air]

Nah, I read all of it already. Sleeping pills take about 3 hours to work on me, and that's if I take 75 mg.
