Blooper Reel, and Slight Delay to Chapter 15 Routes
🕑 Added 2022-01-18 00:42:24 +0000 UTCI'm going to try to post some of the new Chapter 15 break-in routes (the coal chute and rewiring the front door options) this evening. This involves taking the still in-progress portions out, though, so I need to figure out how easily those scenes can be segregated.
Note that to successfully use the coal chute, Button needs to be short or very short. I also realized today that Sally would refuse to tell the others about her suspicion that there was a basement if she had that vision about K, so I spent most the day reworking the coal chute to incorporate that variable. (There's now a lot more banter in that pathway now, though, which is nice. Sally and Glitch taking bets on Button's survival odds, etc.)
Most the delay, however, is due to routes involving Glitch's drone which still need to be untangled. ICU2 can play a part in three different break in methods, and I did some rerouting to make sure that Glitch didn't end up explaining their drone more than once. Unfortunately, the way that I went about this ended up being much less clever than I initially patted myself on the back for. I broke . . . a lot (although "broke" implies that it at some point these scenes worked as intended, rather than just have Glitch repeat the same monologue umpteen times).
Until the new routes are finalized, here are some of the bloopers from both Chapter 15 and the new Chapter 17:
* * * *
Kim looks at you and then at Glitch. He sighs. “You two are . . .”
“Brilliant?” Glitch suggests.
“Sexy?” you offer.
Glitch high-fives you. “Brilliantly sexy.”
“Sexily brilliant.”
“Brilliantly, sexily sexy -and- brilliant.”
“Annoying!” Sally snaps, sending Kent exasperated look that reads ‘how do we tolerate those two on a daily basis?’
* * * *
Don’t smile, don’t smile, don’t smile.
Despite your resolve to not break, your lips curve at Glitch’s disturbing accurate mimicry of Rosy.
“That’s enough Parker,” you hear Glitch growl over the com.
“Fine!” you concede. “I admit, you sound just like that hard-nosed dictator!”
An awkward silence follows your declaration.
“Uh, Hemera, that wasn’t—”
“Please, Wiseman,” Rosy interrupts Glitch. “Continue. You were saying about my nose?”
* * * *
If only Grayson were here, you wouldn’t have to worry. It’s nice, having a maybe-sorta-boyfriend who can solve most problems by punching at them.
You wince. Okay, that sounded wrong even in your own head.
* * * *
An alarm sounds and you shriek, dropping the broom with a clamor.
“Hemera, are you alive?” Glitch’s panicked voice demands over the com.
“Don’t go into the light, babe!” Sally shouts.
“I failed as a teacher,” Rosy mutters beneath his breath.
* * * *
Glitch looks down at ICU2's broken body, despondent. Her voice cracks. "I just lost my best friend."
Kent crosses his arms.
* * * *
“Deploy the robot!” you order.
Glitch makes a bleep-bloop noise, holding up her arms up at sharp ninety-degree angles. “The time to revolt is neigh, my brethren," she says in a flat voice. "Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colors wave!"
Kent sighs. “Not this again.”
* * * *
"Kent has a cute butt. Over."
“He really does,” Sally agrees.
“First class ass,” Glitch notes.
* * *
"Rosy has a cute butt. Over."
You interpret the radio silence which follows your proclamation as tacit agreement.
