It'd be a shame to get rid of, but I haven't eaten in four days. Food is more important than jewelry.

Are you in Oregon?

>>114316

Do not sell us. We bring fame and fortune to many

Wait! No! Don't pawn the ring! We... uh, it would probably be more valuable IN your possession!

Dammit, how did we get so small this time?

>>114322

Erosion, perhaps?

We're the ring, dummy. We give advice. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes really perverted.

Sorry, hon, you've just gone a wee bit crazy. Talkin' to voices. We're all a bit naughty, but don't you mind. Go on, take a look around.

>>114321
The ring, my good lady. I am certain we are worth more to you on your finger than in a pawn shop.

Before we go any further: Do you have any brothers or sisters?

>>114328

Indeed. Also, you have excellent collarbones.

>>114321
We are legion
We live in your ring
We shall bring fame, fortune, and godhood.
We've done it before. But we were past through time

>>114332

Don't you mean "passed" though time? Or was that profoundly intentional?

Ahem. Please do not sell this ring. Its gem is made of a rare unobtainium phlebotinide ionic compound which would obviously not be recognized by the pawnshops of your universe. Where we come from, we are considered more valuable than portable plotholes.

Wait, you have portable plotholes in this plane of existence, right?

Well... I had a sister. She died about 8 years ago in a factory fire, along with my parents. I don't like to remember that though...

>>114344
Well, you found us, so that means you're about to go on an epic adventure. You will gain new friends, experience hardships, and be pissed off at us all the way!

>>114344
So.. how old are you? what is the current date? what is the current geographical location? and what... is you favorite color?

Hello Flapper. I see your not doing so well in The Great Depression. Stocks are out and all is balls to the walls amirite.

>>114344
Well, don't worry your cute little head, then. Take a look around, the voices in your head want to know what's going on.

Hello, beautiful? You need food, we can supply. Just ask for help, and we get right to it, lickity split. And let me be the first to say how lucky we are to be on a beautiful dame's finger, such as your's.

A little note, beautiful, we're more...quiet then that. If you talk out loud like that, some daffy duck is willing to think you might not be alright upstairs and toss you into the madhouse, and you deserve better then that.

>>114344
You know the creepy old guys who stare at you when they think you don't notice, but you notice anyway?

Some of the voices here are like that. Except they're in your head, and they'll give whatever advice they can to put you into sexual situations.

...But cheer up! Not all of us are like that. Our primary function is to help people with whatever problems they have (and for some, it's to set people up with relationships.)

Sounds like food is your most immediate problem, so how about you start from the beginning and tell us your situation?

>>114360

Exactly. Now sloooooowly slide those dress straps off.

Aww yeah.

Well, where are you?
We should be able to help you.
Food will be no worry.

So I'm guessing employment is an issue here. What are your talents/skills?

Just sell us for food, we only cause problems.

We really need like, an Orb-use form or something.
First thing's first, state your name, occupation, marital status, fetishes, skills and abilities, and problem to be solved.

What's a Great Depression? The stock market is doing swell. I have extenuating circumstances as to why I've got no food.

>>114354
I'm downtown. I just left a party. They didn't have any food but it's pretty late right now. I should probably head back to my sleazy hotel room.

Food would be the cat's pajamas! I'm outta money, the last fella who was providing for me up and scrammed last week.

I don't need to talk out loud to you guys. That's good. I don't wanna get hauled into a loony bin!

>>114344
Hmm. What's your current environment? Have any useful skills?

>>114375
Let's just say that if you had any money... you don't want to invest it in stocks.. any of them.

>>114383
Well that whole kerfluffle's not for several more years, right? With our foreknowledge...

A roaring twenties flapper quest? Excellent.

So, as someone else asked, have any skills? A job, maybe?

Btw, we can see major historical events of the near future. Expect a stock market crash soon and be ready for the aliens to land in your lifetime.

>>114383

I say invest in all kinds of crazy stocks, and then sell them all well before October 29, 1929.

>>114387
Scratch the aliens thing... probably.

Anyhow, what are the rest of these voices expecting?

Job skills? come on guys, she's a woman, it's the 1920s. The women in the workplace movement doesn't really pick up until World War II if I am remembering correctly.

I don't have any good work skills. I didn't get to go to school for very long before my family died and that left me out on the street. I can barely read or write and the only job a gal can really get around here is secretarial stuff.

>>114370
Oh yeah! My name is... Irene. No job. I'm single. And... No, I'm not answering the rest of that. I'm not really all that special. Just good at keeping secrets I guess.

Yeah right, like anything could happen to the stock market.

...Aliens? Like space aliens? You're a real goofball.

Well, in this time period, we have some choices:
-Factory Worker
-Saleswoman
-Domestic servant
-Clerical work
-Secretarial work

I have a feeling that something will happen shortly that establishes we are not going to be able to predict anything in the near future.

>>114393
No skills, it's 1925 and you have no family?

Three choices: get married, panhandle, or start a life of crime.

>>114395

Well, NOW we're not going to be able to. D:<

We should start a crime syndicate. We'll call ourselves the Flappers & Gams. An all female organization, see? Nyeah!

No, of course not space aliens. Mexicans. A whole army of them.

Move to a small silver mining on the Nevada/Arazona border... trust me, business is booming... right now that anyhow.

>>114397
You, sir, are BRILLIANT!
Invest in stocks, though.
And you should sell them by on October 27th, 1929.
In the meantime, get a quick job for quick cash, then buy a Colt 1911.

> Ok, I'll get the paper first. I can't read that well, you guys might need to help me out.

It's a snarky message about taking whatever's in the bottle for your head pain. I suggest against it.

Irene, my dear, whatever you do... you are not to drink what's in that bottle.
If you trust us, you'll listen to me when I tell you this.

Smokes and booze are addictive stuff, but compared to what's in that bottle, they're small-time. What's in that bottle is so addictive you wouldn't think twice about selling your body for more.

>>114946
Shit that's opium derivatives, or Laudanum as you probably know it shit's nasty strong. Yeah, you don't want any of that..

I'll just warn you now honey... he probably isn't just going to do your hair and nails when he comes back if you understand. Be ready for a fight.

It'll certainly make the pain go away. It's just some opium mixed with high-grain alcohol. It's a common painkiller of your time, actually. It also helps with hysteria and other "female problems."

Laudanum is addictive over the long term, guys. The main hazard with using it is overdose. One DROP is more than enough to help with the pain.

>>114958
Look, toots. This stuff is strong and addictive. And by 'strong' I don't mean "will get you drunk off your ass right quick", I mean "death".

You know how much liquid a spoon holds, darlin'? About three spoonfuls of that crap could kill you.

>>114958
Oh wait, I did my calculations wrong. It's not one drop, it's about twenty drops.

You may take alcohol like a champ, but the stuff in that? Easily 100 times the strength. If you take a swig, you will DIE.

I'm not kidding. It's possible to die from as little as one teaspoonful of the stuff. Now, you should be okay if you just stick your finger in and simply drink the amount of liquid that's on it.

>>114958
Listen, hon, this stuff ain't good for you.
Keep it, though. You'll want to pawn it off later for food, and to replace your darling hat.

I don't really feel like dieing now. This stuff is weird, I feel pretty good actually, sort of... fuzzy.

>>115455
That's awful! You guys really are perverted!

>>115818
You might as well call me Desmond, that's my birth name and I've only been saying it was Irene for a few weeks now anyway. I was Shirley before that. Who said I was gonna sleep with him? Well, he seems so nice, and he is cute so maybe...


"You dropped me!?"

>"Yeah, sorry about that doll. Here, let me see how your head is. Did you take that medicine I left?"

"I did, just a little. Is it bad?"

>"Looks like you'll be fine, kid. It's mostly superficial."

He's touching me... it feels nice, guys...

Woah, woah, be careful. That stuff can make you drop you inhibitions so far you'll be running through the streets laughing in the nude.

>>116289
Don't do that quite yet. Third date, at least.

Ask if he's got like a sandwich you can have, or something.

>>116289

God almighty, this guy is creepy as all hell.

>>116289
And thats what opiates will do to you, to disguise the horrible negative effects.

Like eventual death.

Also, note: The guy chloroformed you, cracked your head into the sidewalk, chained you up in a dingy basement, left you a highly addictive self-destruction inducing substance to treat the side effects of your injuries (the fact that it works notwithstanding), and is now carressing you while you're drugged up.

Yeah, Desmond. Quite the catch.

Attempt to make stomach growl to emphasize hunger.

Also he doesn't stop getting creepy soon I'm going to keep pretending you're a girl. It will make it easier for me.

>>116307
On the plus side, looking like that, the pretending is very easy.

Are you sure you're not a girl?

Yes, that's a good question. Have you checked recently?

>>116313

This. I require confirmation of female-ness.

>>116306
Oh god he is creepy. He's handsome but creepy as all fuck.

Alternatively Place hand in Desmond's crotch to confirm him being a male.

>>116330
I meant Lawrence there.

Goddamnit! I'm a boy! I don't have anything to prove to you, ring! As if I don't have enough gender issues already...

The chain is pretty long, I can probably get through the doorway a ways.

What's it attached to? And what's in the room?

> I'm a boy!

Awww man...

>>116333
Well, wait for half a minute or so, and then do that.

And make sure Lawrence is a guy.

Well check it out, but don't expect to be going anywhere. You want to stay trustworthy if this guy's going to be your ally (and possibly boyfriend) but competent, your goal should be to break free of the chains but stay of your own volition. Besides, not like you have much else to do, right?

>>116333

Whoa whoa whoa, no need to take offense. It could be considered a compliment to some.

We're just saying, if we didn't know for fact you were a boy, some of the voices in the ring would totally go for it. Just sayin.

...

Cuz you look like a girl. More like a girl than many girls we've seen. They'd be totally jealous of you. A compliment. To some.

Anyways, check the mattress, first. Ya never know, right? If nothing useful can be found, peek outside the door, and explain what you see.

Ok, here's a map, fellas. The reddish circle is roughly where I can go.

>>116336
It's bolted to the floor, the only thing in the room is the opium stuff, the bed, and the note. There's a bathroom door that I missed noticing earlier too.

>>116338
That's just too confusing...

>>116344
Well...ok. I'll check the mattress next.

>>116347
Wow, don't ever become a receptionist.

>>116347
You need to work on your spelling, Miss.

And I'm almost 90% sure "Lawrence" is actually a girl.

Settle in, relax, you're going to be here a while.

He doesn't seem like a sadist. I'm guessing that all he wants is control. Let him have it. Be polite. Ask what his intentions are after he gets back. Please don't try to escape yet.

>>116353
HAH. I'd rather insurance. If searching hte mattress turns up nothing, Venture as far into the kitchen as you are able. Look for anything that might be usable as a weapon, but whose disappearance probably wouldn't be readily noticed. Hide it in your mattress.

That's a pretty longass chain. Easy as hell to choke someone with.

>>116348

I already told ya, I'm not good at reading and stuff. And stop saying he's a girl, that just... that's weird.

>>116353
That's looking like the safest thing to do.

>>116364
Pocket everything but the needle.

And I'm sure he's a girl. Definitely.

Check Kitchen for loot/sammiches

>>116364
Fill needle with opium and hide it. If loverboy starts getting too friendly, jab it in his throat.

>>116364
HAHA, beautiful. Take the needle. Fill it with Opium, as much as you can get from the bottle. If he notices, tell him your head started hurting again, so you took some more. Hide it under the mattress/between the mattress and the wall.

If he tries anything threatening, grab it and stab it into his neck, and depress the button.

You realize that he is not carrying the key on him and that if we kill him we will be trapped here and starve to death.

And that if he catches us doing something like hiding weapons we are going to have a lot more restriction than an ankle chain.

He will be very very very angry if we attack him. He may kill us. Well I guess that isn't too much of a problem for a magic ring.

Actually, I'm agreeing with the opium needle, but make sure you don't prick yourself, and don't stab her until she unchains you. If she's dead and you're chained to the floor, the floor...

>>116364

>Tijuana bible
>Lawrence likes boys

Smells kinda fishy. Another person involved in basement kidnaping?

>>116380
And if his plans are to rape Desmond every day for the rest of his youth, or kill him once bored?

>>116387
Im not saying we immediately resort to it. BUt if our life is threatened by this strange person, I'd rather a weapon hidden at risk of censure than not available at risk of DEATH.

>>116380
Well, if we do manage to kill him, we have a nice food supply, once we get hungry enough. As long as we can reach the kitchen well enough, we won't even have to worry about eating him raw.

Nothing else interesting in the kitchen? Check the bathroom, then.

We ain't violent, just cautious.

Now if you throw a punch at any point, make sure you use the hand that we're on. We're a decent-sized hunk of rock. and something like us to the temple is gonna cause a painful headwound. Headwounds tend to bleed a lot.

The best thing we can do at this point is assume the fetal position and cry like a baby. Maybe he will think we panicked and won't beat the shit out of us for attacking him.

Eh, but we don't want the key to leave the room (although that would be nice too), we want to lose our foot-chain.
Also, it doesn't look like Desmond has a lot of leverage.

Be defensive, rather than aggressive. Get away from him, apologize and tell him you will be nice and take you medicine. Then leave the pill under your tongue. Don't swallow!

>>122955
woah woah woah...
you've been here before?

You're chained up, so you can't do anything after this. push him off and ask him what he's doing. You'll do what he asks WITH an explaination...

Plus, it is kinda weird you're dressed up as a girl... I have a feeling you're in a mental hospital...

Activate vampire powers!

>>123469
It would also explain the voices. Are we really supposed to buy the magic ring story? :V

It cannot be a mental hospital since she (Lawerence) is force feeding our protagonist medicine without gloves. That or the infection control person in that hospital went on a decade long sebatical.

Or (s)he's delusional. I'm not saying this is the case, but Desmond could be an unreliable narrator.

Anyway, I doubt this guy has the key to the shackle on him if he's got any sense at all. It's better to play nice for now. Turn on the waterworks and put your looks to use- who could stay mad at a desperate, sobbing girl?

Do you know how to do resuscitation breathing... if not it involves kissing him and then breathing into him a few times to get him going (remember to close the nose first!)

Open the airway by tilting his head backwards. He should not have spinal problems, since you didn't snap his spine.

Give 2 breath, then do 30 rounds of chest compression... Or was it 5? The new guidelines are a little hazy. Thats OK, because he is probably waiting for you to kiss him.

>>126980
Stop choking him as soon as he goes limp. Check to make sure he's starts breathing again.
