Your hands are shaking... but you continue to write in your journal.

[/i]...now I'm all alone. No one here to help me... to tell me what to do. Corbis just went crazy. We should have known from the beginning. He gave us signs, but we ignored them. I had a feeling in my gut about him, and what he'd been up to before we all teamed up together, but I foolishly ignored that as well.

You take a break from writing, and focus on calming your nerves. Sweat dribbles down the side of your face, cooling you off.
You stand up, and look at the evironment. You're inside of a small room, with a dark hallway staring at you. You sit back down, and begin to write some more.

If you find this, journal, then you should be able to find the radio that I have left for you. Look in the desk, third droor. Turn the frequency to 30.6, and talk to me. I have no clue what these things are, so I'm hoping that you do. Please, contact me right as you read this.[i]

You place the pen that you've been using into your pocket. You then place the journal on the floor where you've been sitting, and you stand up once again. You take a few steps in front of you, then you look down at the monster that you killed a few minutes earlier. Its head is shrunken, and its hands don't even seem to exist anymore. Enormous blades have grown out of the monsters arms, and a few bones reach out from the monsters shoulders. Suddenly, the monster's arm moves, and the blade taps your shoes. "Ah!" you yell, stepping back. The monster lies on the floor completely motionless now. Your hands begin to tremble some more. "Its time to move, screw this place." you say to yourself. The intimidating dark hallway continues to stare at you. There is a desk beside you, where you placed the radio for someone to retrieve, hopefully. A lantern is lit, sitting on top of the desk, but it has little oil remaining.

What will you do?

Choose actions carefully in this game. This game is mainly for advanced players... which means that you gotta think a lot and make sure you make few errors.

The Sanity means how... sane you are. The more monsters you encounter, the more your sanity will drop. If your Sanity reaches rock bottom, then your companions will consider you a threat and unsafe to be around, and therefor they will kill you. If you have no companions, then you will be okay, but monsters will find you more frequently and it will be more dangerous. To decrease your sanity, drink alcohol, or just simply talk to companions about memories or talk about something you miss. Anything that would help you keep your mind in place.

The category named: Suffering From, tells you what your suffering from pretyt much. You have to eat, drink, and sleep in this game. If you don't get enough sleep, you will suffer from sleep deprivation. If you don't drink water, you'll suffer from dehydration, etc.

So... what will you do?

ATTENTION

I'm sick of these Live Stream threads, so until they stop, I won't be posting. I'm not saying that I'm quitting this--I'm simply postponing it until the Live Stream threads get discontinued.

Lantern added. You examine the monster, and attempt to take its blade, but its attached to the things arm. You wold have to cut the arm off form the shoulder and use it that way if you were going to use that as a weapon.

There is not another room adjacent to you, its just the hallway that is ahead of you. there is a room at the very end of the hallway, but no doors on the side of the hallway.

You walk slowly down the hallway, to the next room, and arrive at the end of the hallway. A door is blocking you from entering. It could be unlocked; what will you do?

(They can't fly; however, they are extremely fast when they run.)

You lock all the doors except the exit door, and search the room. You search the desk, and the floor (the only things to search were these) and you find two items. A few matches (7 matches) and a wig. (Yes, a wig, as in hair. xD)

i go back and try to use its own blade to cut the arm off, then i use the blade to open the door.

if i cant get the blade this way or it would take too much time to do it i loot the monster, hoping i find something usefull.

if i cant find anything or it takes too long to loot it i search a way to open the door. maybe i can open the door by lock-picking it with my pen.

You grab the arm of the monster, and use that blade to cut off the monsters other arm. You then cut the flesh from the monsters arm away from the blade, and now you're left with a regular, long blade. You could possibly attach a handle of some sort to the hilt of the blade to make it more effective.
i search a way to open the door. maybe i can open the door by lock-picking it with my pen.

The door isn't locked. xD
===================================================================
@thebluerabbit

how many items can i take?

Your pretty much at your limit. You have two candles in your front pockets, you have the keys and the matches in your left-back pocket, and the three pens in your right back pocket. If you had a backpack or anything else to carry, then you could carry 4x more items.
can i even light the matches?

Yes, the little box that the matches come in have a little bar that you slide the matches on, and the friction causes the match to catch fire.

You enter the next room, and you see a desk ahead of you, a closet in the left corner, a door in the top right corner behind the desk, and a vent to your right. Blood is trickling down from the vent. (The vent is close to the floor)

You see a broken lamp on the desk, a few wires hanging from the ceiling, and papers scattered across the floor. You find a match box, containing 3 matches inside.

What will you take/do/say?

Yes.

"That seems about everything useful in this room, lets move on"

She nods.

You continue to the next door, but you hear glass break against the floor in the next room. Ashley yelps, and pull you down to the floor.

"Sorry!" she whispers. "Look, the closet! We can hide in their!"

What will you do?
A)Stand and wait for whatever it is to come through so you can attack
B)Hide in the closet and wait for the thing to leave.
C)Your own option?

You successfully light a match on the first try, and read a few of the papers. You end up using 3 matches. The papers had nothing important on them, they were just office papers, with essays and people's bank histories.
