That night was not very pleasant. In my dreams I saw my drone self murdering my human self in various different ways. Decapitation, sliced in half, stabbed, slammed repeatedly all over the room with the Solver, and more. The only thing that would make it worse if I was viewing this from a 1st person pov instead of 3rd. Then the drone me looked at me me, and waved at me before teleporting away. I woke up sweating and feeling overall unpleasant. I didn't even feel like eating anything for breakfast, I decided to visit Doll to clear my mind. I walked down the usual hall with missing posters and camera installed upside down that everyone's too lazy to fix. Once I reached the end, I.....somehow wound up back at the beginning?
Me:Oh no, I've seen enough horror shit to know where this is going.
If running foward results in an endless loop, that leaves 5 directions. Backwards, up through the ceiling, down through the floor, and crashing through either wall. Let's start simple, walking backwards results innnnnnnnnn....winding up at the end of the hall. Great. Kool Aid Man crash? Nada, both left and right walls sent me to another hall that's an exact copy of where I was previously.
Me: Keep it together. Keep it together. Still got 2 options, right?
I wall crawled with my spider legs and broke through the ceiling? I wound up in-
Me: Oh you gotta be fucking kidding. Still?!
I rubbed my head and closed my eyes to calm myself down.
Me: Come on, come on, only one route left. If it's not A, B, C, or D, it's gotta be E. Just gotta activate the Solver and tear open the floor. Super easy.....Any moment......Dammit! Stop stalling! I won't know if I don't do it 3...2......1....................... 1/2...aaaaaand NOW!!!
I tore open the floor and peeked through before jumping down.
Me: No, please no, FUUUUUUUCK!!!!
I started running back and forth crashing through walls but no matter how much I did I never left and was stuck. Even teleporting didn't work, I tried over, and over, and over again but no progress was made. I kept running, smashing, and teleporting for who knows how long. Then I finally saw someone else. At this point, it could've been Cyn and I wouldn't have cared. I just needed someone else here.
Me: HEY! YOU! I NEED HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
When I got close enough I realized it was a human. Ok. Not my 1st choice but I'll take it.
Me: Hey! What's going on here? Can you help me?
The human turned around and-
Me: HOLY SHIT!!!
It was me! My human self before I got sent in this much cooler robot body.
Me: Hello?
Human Me: Hey. Guess we've finally lost our mind? Either that or this is one helluva realistic dream.
Me: I have no idea what the Hell is going on.
Human Me: Well, let this be a warning. A whole lot crazy shit is about to happen in the future.
Me: This is Murder Drones. Of course crazy shit is gonna happen.
Human Me: I mean a lot more than in the show. More specifically towards you. Us? Eh, you get the point.
Me: Good or bad? Really hope it's good.
Human Me: It's a surprise. Anyways back to the never ending hallway.
Me: What!?! No. No! No! NONONONO NONONONO!!!!!!!!!!
I was sent back in the hallway. I was so pissed that my Solver activated and started ripping everything around me apart.
Me: YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!
I tried my best to keep calm, I walked around a bit and saw what looked like portals. I tried to run towards them but they pulled themselves away from me. I tried teleporting but even that wasn't enough. At that point I finally reached my limit. My vision turned to static while I heard metal around me being torn apart. Once my vision cleared, I saw I was now trapped in a blank, empty void.
Me: Hehehehe...Hehehehe! AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!! RRRRR
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The roar of anger I let out was so loud it shattered my screen. Once I regenerated, I saw I was in Doll's room. Said drone was in the corner with hollowed out eyes.
Me: DOLL!!!
I grabbed her into a hug.
Me: You have no idea about the Hell I just went through! I was stuck in an endless loop! And then-! Wait. Am I-?
I actually took the time to look at myself and saw I was in Eldritch Mode without even realizing it. Extra limbs, tail, and all.
Me: Well, would you look at that?
Doll: Explain. Now. Also, put me down.
Someone was annoyed. And probably a little pissed.
Me: Sorry.
I put her down with one of my crab claws. Then explained what I just experienced.
Me: So, yeah. That's about it. By the way, how long was I gone?
Doll: You weren't gone. You went crazy and started crashing through the walls and destroying everything around you. Then teleported randomly until you reached my room. You talked to no one, walked back and forth across the room, teleported again, laughed, roared, and grew into this.
Me: Oh. Sounds like I was suffering from hallucinations. Have you ever gone through something similar?
Doll: I can't say that I have.
Me: Lucky you. Either there's something special about me, or you just lucked out.
Doll: I'd rather not find out.
Me: Hopefully you won't. Now, do you have any ideas on how to get me back to normal.
Doll: Seeing as I have no experience with this, I unfortunately can't.
Me: Ok. Guess I'll stay here till I figure it out.
Doll: (sighs) Oh dear.
Me: Alright. Focus, focus. Back to normal. Aaaand GO!
I opened my eyes and saw I was back.
Me: Huh. That was unexpectedly easy. Can I go back and forth now?
I tried and sure enough I could.
Me: Awesome. I wonder if I can do anything else easy.
I imagined teleporting to my room and sure enough I was able to teleport all the way to my room.
Me: Hehe. Double awesome!
I went back and forth between my room and Doll's for shits and giggles. Each time I did Doll looked more and more annoyed. On what was probably my 28th turn Doll threw a knife at my head before I could get away.
Me: Ok, point taken. Literally. I'll stop.
Doll: Good.
Me: Just a thought before I go. If for whatever reason you go through the same thing I did. You could potentially unlock something or get an improvement like I did.
Doll: Did you not listen to me when I said this is something to take seriously? Honestly, trying to talk sense into you is like trying to talk sense into a child.
Me: Eh whatever. Bye.
