One of what, the dead?

This is taking too long. We've only got time to ask one question, but we can spend over a day thinking about it? We're not dealing with some demonic truth-telling machine that we can hoodwink into giving us the right answer if we word things exactly right. If whatever we're asking wants to hide information from us, nothing we do can prevent that. Let's just ask our damned question and wake up to horrific pain

"How are Benny's goals different?"

Oh well, I tried. Maybe Nicole will be able to help tell us how to save humanity.

You can take all the time you want, I think this is supposed to be a filler arc anyway.

You mean, like, for later, right?

McFrugal · « **Reply #84 on:** October 21, 2008, 03:25:53 PM »

Haha. Well, come to think of it, if Jacob's goals are different enough from Benny's- in that we have something in common- that might lead us in the right direction too.

I think both questions might've led to similar information.

"What is Nicole?"

Baby don't hurt me

"What is Nicole?"

I'm too scared to endorse this, but I REALLY wanna know the answer to this question.

You know, I trust this part of ourselves way the fuck more. And the way this seems to work is that they know everything we do, but have to fight to directly communicate with us. Fat pipe one way, fucking swizzle stick the other. So...

~~"How I mine fish?"~~
~~"How do I shot web?"~~
~~"How can I win?"~~
"What should I do?"

I still vote for "What are the worms?"

Brentai · « **Reply #91 on:** October 21, 2008, 05:24:45 PM »

A miserable little pile of secrets!

Pretty much everything about that movie disturbs me in some way.

Every bit as appropriate. That is to say: not terribly, other than the worm thing and the whole on-trial-in-your-own-subconscious bit that happens about once a week on average.

Speaking of, I've got other virulent late 70s prog rock to be spreading to other threads.

So, after all of the thinking way too hard on it, I'm going with this question:

Quote from: Quick on October 19, 2008, 08:11:41 PM

"What's happened to me? Inside me?"

This should give us clues, hopefully, about how to thwart "Benny" but hopefully some more clues about how to stop the THEY in general. Saving this "Jacob" is probably impossible, but if anyone else thinks its worth going for, I'll change my vote and support a "How can I save you?" Type of option.

do I get extra points if I mention that my father animated the marching hammers

Bunches.

Romosome · « **Reply #98 on:** October 21, 2008, 08:19:28 PM »

I was almost going to go with "What is Nicole" for my own question, actually, but I think the one I asked is our best bet here.

C'mon, guys. We're stalling.

I think Jacob has something he thinks we should know. To that end, I think we should ask him something general and open-ended, i.e. What do I do now?

Officially voting for this idea.
