KnightQuest - Part 16: No stairway? Denied!

feel oddly at home in the closet then reluctantly leave with a tear in your eye

Amongst the cleaning products and dust busting utensils, you feel a strange sense of relief.
Everything is in its place, everything has a purpouse, everything contributes to the betterment of the environment for all.
Not you, though.
You are an interloper, you do not belong.

You know you must leave that odd sensation of belonging, for the good of the cupboard.
Tearfully, you make your way to the workplace, remembering your chemical friends.

Upon arriving in the work area, you find it to be a busy hub of various rooms, each with their own purpouse. Demons scurrry back and forth between them, carrying nasty looking implements, tortured souls trapped in jars and occasionally rather nice briefcases.

The pits are to the left of you, flames and pained cries crawl out of the sides.
Somebody should probably put a fence around that. Health and safety nightmare.

casually trip a deamon carrying a jar with torured souls in it

A ghastly smile appears on Valarie's face as she sees a demon carrying a jar approaching.
She sticks out her foot, triping the demon, thus breaking the jar and freeing the soul.

"Aaah! No!" the demon yelps "O man, the boss is gonna be so mad!"
It quickly scurries off after the soul.

You give Valarie a stern look for that unabashed at of dickery.
"No regrets" she scoffs

I guess we can take a peek at the pits.

Stick your head in the pits

You decide to look over the edge, into the pits to see what-

Oh goodness!
Is that a…? In their…?
Oh geez, that can't be-
Why would…?
What could anyone possibly have done to…?
That's just not…
The fuck is…

Oh. Oh no. No siree.

Lets try the middle door back in that area

feel oddly at home watching the horrors going on then leave reluctantly with a tear in your eye

You yove tears in your eyes, but they aren't because you don't want to leave.

You wander into a room, under the sign marked "Ideas Dept."
Inside is a room full of demons, around a table, arguing with eachother.

"…Well we have to do something! Our methods are outdated, everyone's used to them!"
"Oh Gerroth. Oh Gerroth! Why can't we come up with any good ideas?"
"It's because you're all TALLENTLESS HACKS!"
"Quiet Reginald, you're on this team, too!"
"What if we used some more traditional methods?"
"Those are the ones that don't work MORON!"

These seem like nice people who could use your help, share your very personal and possibly offensive story about wanting to fuck a dragon.

"Huh… Wow. You definitely deserve to be down here."
"IIIIIIDIOT! THAT WAS CLEARLY A BEAUTIFUL TALE OF A MAN WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE! IT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE!"
"Fuck off, Reginald"

Tell them that you are quite apt at tormenting people, you have been tormenting a small undead girl for the past few weeks.

Also have you seen my skeleton.

You mention your experience in mental torture with an incredibly un-humble demeanor, presenting the small undead gi-

You are interrupted by a sharp jab to the ribs from Valarie.
"Psst. Fucking moron." she whispers "Being undead is a great big fucking sin. Remember?"

Completely ignoring her, you ask if they've seen your reanimated corpse, named Wellington.

"Uh… There's a lot of skeletons around here, buddy. This is hell after all."

ah hell well you guys seem nice enough do you mind pointing me where they usually hang out?

"Well, ususally they congregate around the lower end of the pits, just standing there, all mindless.
But you don't wanna go down there, I can just get you another undead serve-" the large headed demon says "Wait… do you hear that?"

"Hear what? I don't hear anything." Reginal squaks "You're crazy, hearing things that there aren't there to hear. What would your mother th-"

"KIKI'S HERE!"

is that a penis?

Right, that's late enough for me. Pausing for tonight, we'll resume at 10pm GMT Saturday

thanks op

"It's a wormy!" Kiki exclaims "I found i-"
"WHAT IS GOING ON WHY AM I BEING CRUSHED BY A DEATH BORER I MEAN I KNOW I'M IN HELL BUT I'M NOT THE ONE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TORTURED"

Pet the worm, I'm sure it's friendly.

Cautiously, you approach 'Wormy' and give it a stroke.
Upon touching it, it vibrates vigorously and extends thin tentacles into your helmet, probing your face.
Perhaps a little too friendly.

"Wormy likes you!" Kiki yells "But he likes me mooooorrrreee!"

Start petting him the way you would a dog while saying "Who's a good boy? You're a good boy!"

You give Wormy a scratch under a plate, which causes him to thrash about violently.
Kiki bumps her head on the ceiling.

"PLEASE STOP SCRATCHING THE WORM" Reginald cries

>Fucked up the bold
Shit

Ask Wormy to move back just a bit so Reggie is able to get out from under it

You gesture for Wormy to sit, thus making it slump down, allowing Kiki to get off.
Reginald quickly exits.

You rejoin Valarie, bringing Kiki along with you.
"Friend of yours?" Valarie asks.
"Hiiiiiii" Kiki chirps, hugging Valarie.
"Wow! I hate her already!"

Bump

Bump the second
Anyone gonna post, or should I just end it for tonight?

Non non, mon ami.
Make the proper moves on la femme, it's what any noble French knight would do.

These threads are pathetic. When are you going to realize the board has no interest in this?
Your two IDs combined make up 50% of the thread. Just let go already.

Shocking
Obviously my two IDs would take up most of the thread. I post once for every command or so, which is how any quest thread works.
Nobody is forcing you to come into this thread. I'd be perfectly happy if you filtered me.

On hon hon hon.
Oui oui.
Baguette.

...

Oh! Mes Macarons!

Thanks Holla Forums

lets ride wormy into the pit

You don't really want to go down into the pit, considering even just looking down into it made you feel pretty sickened, but if Wellington's down there, you need to go.

You saddle up on Wormy and ride him into the pit.
Kiki hangs on for dear life, while Valarie uses the bare minimum amount of magic to help her cling to wormy.

If you three just band together and believe in one another, you're certain that you can-
What, what's that demon doing to that guy with that vole?

THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA

Pausing for tonight, as it's late, the thread is slow and this seems like an adequate place to stop.
KnightQuest will return Friday at 10pm GMT.
