Den döda vinkeln

[pevergreen]

Ask the girl, by writing down 'internet, please' on a piece of paper or something similar, if we could use here computer. If she lets us, google our name.

You write it down but she doesnt understand.

[Joooray]

Man, I just realized we were already googleling before, stupid me. :laugh4:

Anyway,
write internet and google on a piece of paper, then show her our ID and point at the computer and mime tipping.

[Myrddraal]

Good thinking Joooray, she must have heard of google.

[pevergreen]

[Joooray]

Well, we could have achieved THAT more easily. :laugh4:

So, pever either took our name from red vs. blue or it is not our real name. Doesn't sound very French anyway. :shrug:

Anybody remember if we ever checked our name in some kind of database? Do we know the last names of our friends?

Just to make sure:
Let the girl (whatshernameagain?) check our name in facebook as well.

[miotas]

Not gonna help much I'm afraid http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=micheal+j+caboose&init=quick#!/search/?init=srp&sfxp=&q=michael%20j%20caboose


Consistently shown to be mentally abnormal, his behavior varies from merely somewhat dim-witted in Season 1 to almost completely divorced from reality in Season 3 and onwards.

Probably suits us quite well I'd say ~D

[Joooray]

But maybe, just MAYBE there exists another reality in facebook in this game. :shrug: :laugh4:

[naut]

I think we should forget all our worries, and try get this lass to take us out for lunch/dinner. :laugh4:

[Stildawn]

Using google translator (lol) ask the girl to fax a copy of our ID to the French Embassy.... Also using google translator ask her what she thinks we should do next

Google Translator would work mint... No problems there we now have a way to communicate directly to her.

[Joooray]

Good idea, Stildawn. Maybe we can get her to buy us a laptop or a smartphone so we can use it on the move as well. :grin:

[pevergreen]

Using google translator (lol) ask the girl to fax a copy of our ID to the French Embassy.... Also using google translator ask her what she thinks we should do next

@Joooray: Yeah, FB aint gunna help.

You go to google translator and you can talk! Krystal faxes the ID off, and her translated answer comes out to read "We must go to a restaurant"

[Double A]

Or we must eat a restaurant.

[pevergreen]

I wrote what she said, translated to french, translated back to english to get the final result :laugh4:

[Double A]

She doesn't speak English...

She speaks Australian.

[pevergreen]

Strewth! Youse about as there as a drop bear.

[Stildawn]

haha I was hoping by asking a NPC cop that you would give us a valid hint haha, but looks like shes going to continue down the unprofessional track lol... Hell to hell with it...

Using google translator, you say ok to going to a resturant but also that you have no money... You look all ashamed in a cute charming way as she reads...

May as well try mach onto her lol...

[Myrddraal]

Umm, are you serious? If your girlfriend and friend had been kidnapped and you were suffering from amnesia, would you really go on a date?

[Stildawn]

lol well we havent said it was a date yet lol and pever is suggesting it alot, may as well give it a go lol.

[miotas]

She said we "must" go to a restaurant. I have a feeling we have just massively misinterpreted her meaning.

[pevergreen]

lol well we havent said it was a date yet lol and pever is suggesting it alot, may as well give it a go lol.

I'm just playing her character man. Shes based off a friend of mine and so far she is in character...

@Myddraal: Depends how cute this girl was.



Using google translator, you say ok to going to a resturant but also that you have no money... You look all ashamed in a cute charming way as she reads...

Her response: "That's fine, I'll pay. But you must give me something later. Should we go now?"

I swear, google translator is amazing (you use it in game, i'm using it.)

[Double A]

This friend of your is a girl, right? Right?

[pevergreen]

Yeah, she is.

Very interesting girl as well. :laugh4:


I don't know how the other games are working, but in this there are a number of ways to finish, each with its own level of achievement.

Obviously, the highest is regaining your friends and getting out of here. The rest are basically combinations of that, less than that and another few things.

[Double A]

What does it mean if we end up on a plane to Zimbabwe with Michael Atkinson's head in our suitcase (which we will later use for bowling)?

[Myrddraal]

Is that supposed to mean "If Avril gets killed, at least you've got a replacement in the pipeline"
:no:
Let's get on with saving our mates.

[pevergreen]

What does it mean if we end up on a plane to Zimbabwe with Michael Atkinson's head in our suitcase (which we will later use for bowling)?

It means I love you. And CountArach might just kiss you.

Myrdd: You've got the ability to do what you want, I just need the orders. :beam:

[Stildawn]

But you must give me something later


Hahahaha Im not gonna comment on that....

Either way... If the girls trying to get into bed with us we win, if shes not and is just being a cop then I suppose there will be a reason to all this lol... So win win.

[Double A]

Look for Michael Atkinson's whereabouts, oversized knives, and tickets to Zimbabwe in separate tabs on Google. For fun, check out all three together in one search..

[pevergreen]

Double A: I'm ignoring that, you're in a different state.

[Double A]

What, don't we have nukes yet?

[Joooray]

Ask her what we have to give her later.
--
I hope it's not our virginity. :embarassed:
BTW: Who would have thought more than one person could share possession of that. :laugh4:

[Double A]

We're French, and our Emergency Flask was empty when we woke up.

Chances are, we already lost it.

[pevergreen]

Ask her what we have to give her later.

Her Reply: "Not telling"

[CCRunner]

I don't know how this will help find my friends, but I trust you. Let's go

(Go to the restaurant with her)

[Joooray]

If still possible, ask her how she plans on communicating without a computer.

[Double A]

Let's steal an iPhone!

[Joooray]

Let's steal an iPhone!

Good idea with a girl cop on our side. Maybe she'll like that wild, wicked side of us. :laugh4:

[Double A]

Exactly :tongue:

[pevergreen]

I don't know how this will help find my friends, but I trust you. Let's go

(Go to the restaurant with her)

She raises an eyebrow and her answer: "Its just after lunch time."

Joooray: She shrugs.

sorry its taking me a while, working on the company website. www.ccbw.com.au.

theres a photo of me on there somewhere. :laugh4:

[Double A]

pever drives the car :tongue2:

[pevergreen]

:laugh4:


and its pever. :stare:

[naut]

What are we wearing.

That may give us some idea of what we did last night. Really formal suggests a posh place. Casual then it could be anything from a pub to a standard club. But, as we are French a club no doubt.

[A Very Super Market]

I say we try our hardest to see if this is girl is serious. So something like stripping down and flagging down the nearest vehicle and carjacking someone, I guess.

[pevergreen]

What are we wearing.

Nice casual t-shirt, jeans and casual shoes. You look alright.

[A Very Super Market]

What do we look like?

[Double A]

What? I don't see a capital p. Do you see a capital p? No? Yes? No?

AVSM... we are definitely not carjacking yet.

[pevergreen]

What do we look like?

What I just said. You look normal. No distinguishing features.

[miotas]

Ask her if there is a laptop here that we can use.

[pevergreen]

Ask her if there is a laptop here that we can use.

Her reponse: I'm afraid not.

[miotas]

Ask her if there is a charger here that would suit our phone.

[pevergreen]

Her answer: no

[Beefy187]

Go to lunch with the girl. Discuss about how we should go on about finding our friend.

[pevergreen]

Go to lunch with the girl. Discuss about how we should go on about finding our friend.

Where to?

[Beefy187]

Ask the girl if there is any place which serves a decent lunch. If not, walk to China town and enter the first shop which does lunch.

[pevergreen]

Ask the girl if there is any place which serves a decent lunch. If not, walk to China town and enter the first shop which does lunch.

She explains: I can't go to lunch yet, maybe later. I do have to work at least a little bit.

[Double A]

Wait is this like in Mass Effect where we have to unlock more dialogue trees and the romance sidequest by playing through the main mission?

:tongue:

[pevergreen]

No its completely different.

Goes back to playing Mass Effect

[Double A]

pever, I didn't know you could submit orders... but I must admit, I like your taste in games.

[Beefy187]

Ask how long she'll take.

While shes working, go out and explore the surrounding area.

[Stildawn]

bump

[Double A]

Hey, this title's fine!

[Double A]

That was code for "bump," pever.

[pevergreen]

I'm not up to keeping this going, thats why I left it.

RL stuff has taken all the hope I had away...maybe later on.

[pevergreen]

Ok, is anyone still interested in playing this?

[Joooray]

Sure, I'd give it another shot.

[pevergreen]

If another 2 or 3 people express interest, I'll keep it going.

[Beefy187]

sure. I hate reading a book without completing it.

[Stildawn]

Yay Im keen always have been. Might need a update post though.

[pevergreen]

Will make some sort of update today.

[pevergreen]

The story so far...

You are Michael. Based on the position of the sun, its a few hours after midday. You are standing in a shopfront, with a police officer, Krystal. Your girlfriend Avril, and best friend Louis have seemingly been kidnapped by a man and woman. You are in Brisbane, Australia, but you are French, and you do not speak or read english. You have in your possession: An emergency flask (water), a mobile phone (switch off, low battery) and your wallet, containing photo ID and a plastic card that gives you public transport access.

What happens now is up to you.

[Splitpersonality]

I"m still here and will chime in with ideas, but I would like to abstain from submitting orders.


I think an order of business that should be made first is the acquisition of some information on the local crime scene. Perhaps our officer friend can help us with this.

[Stildawn]

From what I remember the female policewomen lol likes us... Did we already check out the place where we woke up? Perhaps we should go back there and ask the cop to help us look for clues?

[Joooray]

Since the girl cop still has to work for some time, let her to it. In the meantime explore the area nearby.

[pevergreen]

Since the girl cop still has to work for some time, let her to it. In the meantime explore the area nearby.

You step outside and take a look around. Multiple stores line the street. Bus stops are every 10-20 metres or so, along both sides of the street. Highrises everywhere, but to your right across the street, there is a break in the buildings, its a big open square. The street continues on out of sight, staying straight. There are a few intersections either way. You must be in the CBD, due to the number of tall buildings along the road.

[Joooray]

Rats, I think we should have asked until what time the girl cop has got to work. Also maybe asked for a little bit of money (especially to buy a dictionary as it would make conversation SO much simpler). What do you think?

[pevergreen]

Just as a general note, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in around 12 hours, so I have no idea how i'll be for the next few days.

[Beefy187]

Rats, I think we should have asked until what time the girl cop has got to work. Also maybe asked for a little bit of money (especially to buy a dictionary as it would make conversation SO much simpler). What do you think?

Good idea. Lets do just that

[Joooray]

You have my sympathy, it's been a while since they took mine out, but it was no fun at all. So take all the time you need to recover.
Are they taking out all 4 four of them at the same time?

[Joooray]

Good idea. Lets do just that

Alright then:
Go back in and try to ask her at what time she is going to get off work and that you'll meet her again in front of the police station. Also ask her very nicely if she can give you some money to buy a dictionary.

[pevergreen]

You have my sympathy, it's been a while since they took mine out, but it was no fun at all. So take all the time you need to recover.

They did indeed. I woke up about 7 and a half hours ago, home 5 hours ago. No pain yet, still numb etc.

I don't trust myself to update this right now, hopefully I'll remember when I'm up to it, otherwise give it a bump. :wink:

[Joooray]

Pain wasn't so much the problem, rather that my cheeks got big like crazy and I was not able to eat solid food for quite some time.

[pevergreen]

Pain wasn't so much the problem, rather that my cheeks got big like crazy and I was not able to eat solid food for quite some time.

Its interesting, about 26 hours now since I woke up, I took half the reccomended painkiller just in case, but there was no pain.

I feel like a big feed, but I don't want to risk trying to eat proper food yet. No real swelling either. :tongue:

[Beefy187]

I took them out one by one.
Taking all 4 at the same time sounds like hellish to me.
I hope its getting better.

[pevergreen]

Getting there. Think something is wrong though, but we'll see.

Should be ok in a few days.

[pevergreen]

Alright then:
Go back in and try to ask her at what time she is going to get off work and that you'll meet her again in front of the police station. Also ask her very nicely if she can give you some money to buy a dictionary.

You go back inside, after the conversation, you stand outside again, but now with a $20 note and the knowledge that she finishes work at 5pm, 2-3 hours from now.

[Joooray]

Look around if there is any bookstore closeby. If so, go there.

[pevergreen]

Look around if there is any bookstore closeby. If so, go there.

You locate a nearby bookstore and enter it.

[Beefy187]

Buy English to French dictionary which looks easy to use.

[pevergreen]

Buy English to French dictionary which looks easy to use.

You purchase the translation guide, you have $4.05 left.

[Beefy187]

Find the closest coffee shop, order one cafe late. Try and learn English until 5 pm

[Joooray]

Good idea, Beefy!

[pevergreen]

Find the closest coffee shop, order one cafe late. Try and learn English until 5 pm

After having a nice coffee and learning a bit of basic english, you return to where Krystal is, arriving just as she is locking up. You have $1 remaining.

[Beefy187]

Lets try and impress her.

Greet her with English you just learned. Tell her how much you appreciate her helping and everything.

[pevergreen]

Lets try and impress her.

Greet her with English you just learned. Tell her how much you appreciate her helping and everything.

She smiles as you fumble some of the harder words, and you manage to translate her reply. She says its not a problem and she is happy to help you.

[Beskar]

Wasn't Krystal the girl who you had a big crush on, pever?

[pevergreen]

Wasn't Krystal the girl who you had a big crush on, pever?

Hmm?
