You are DASH RENDAR. You are currently hanging out in your room doing pretty much nothing of value while you wait for the next escapade by Blind Sally and Nine-Gear Crow to begin. You're pretty bored, and were looking for some entertainment on your computer until some jackasses came along and ruined that now didn't they. You've stood up from your computer chair with such ferocity that it's been totally upended. What a mess you've made.

What will you do?

Ever vigilant, you creep up to your door and very cautiously activate the switch by rubbing your face all over it while mashing the interact button. Listen, it's a simpler time in the world of gaming I mean your life okay?



It turns out to be your mother. Your dear, sweet mother has retrieved the pizza you ordered. Apparently you didn't hear the doorbell because you were busy throwing poo poo around in your room like an animal. You thank her and disappear back into your hovel with box in tow.



You are now the proud owner of one (1) pizza box with pizza included! I could represent this by just drawing an inventory but I'm really lazy so I won't bother! Now what?

Good idea, pal. Let's chow down. I have no idea what the gently caress happened to this gif when I saved it. This is now a CGA 3-color adventure game.





A note lazily floats down into your waiting mouth. You pull it out of your gullet and wipe it off on your FLEXMETAL BLAST PADDING OR WHATEVER gently caress STAR WARS AND THEIR DUMB NAMES FOR THINGS, then give it a look-over.



The note reads, "Dear Dash Rendar, come to the Outrider in the next 30 mins if you want an rear end kicking and/or your pizza." Funny, the drawing for this panel implies there's a lot more writing than that but there's not! It's just lines drawn on the page that smell faintly of feces!

Well, really the only thing worth examining in your room is this closet. You haven't opened it in years so you actually don't remember what's in here. You throw it open...



...and are promptly buried under like 55 unsold back-stock copies of the video game Max Payne 3. Boy, that game sure didn't sell as well as Rockstar expected in physical form! Talk about the price of overproduction.

You pocket like 30 copies of the game just for safekeeping. There's also a coat hanger in your closet, so you take that too. You really ought to buy more than one outfit, you stinky space degenerate.

With nothing else to really do here, you exit your room.



You enter the barren metal hallways of the Bunker. Space sure is cold this time of year, someone really should crank up the thermostat. It's practically draining all the color from the place! Your room, denoted by the fancy shag rug you insisted on buying, is at the bottom of the donut-shaped space station. To your left is the hangar that houses all of the various flight crafts. To the right is the command center as well as some of the other units' rooms.

Where to? You promise you'll do your best Counter Strike impression on the way there.

You decide to go left, crouch jumping and swinging your broken CD at nothing like an idiot the whole way.



As you prepare to take the elevator to the hangar, though, you notice that YoRHa unit 2B is blocking your path! Well, she's not really blocking your path, realistically you wouldn't even have to walk by her to get to the elevator. But she's here, and her sassy pose denotes that she's not just hanging out here because she's bored of her constant war with machine lifeforms!

You vaguely consider tackling her but decide that probably is a bad idea as she weighs like 400 pounds and you would just break your jaw on her metal body. And The Dash can't break his jaw, it's very important to him!

2B isn't really interested in joining your party, she's already paired up with another YoRHa unit. However, she does agree to pal around with you until you head off to wherever you're going. Mostly because you're going in the same direction anyway, kinda like two people standing on a moving walkway at an airport. Y'know, how sometimes that happens where you'd both rather go faster but neither of you want to actually walk so you just awkwardly stand there existing around each other until the walkway ends? Yeah, sorta like that.



2B joins your party! Sort of! You cannot control 2B because she is not the protagonist of this MS Paint Adventure™ but you can try to direct her around if you want. Who knows if she will listen.

>Put those smooth Rendar brand moves on her.

You consider that you, Dash Rendar, are 35 years old and still a virgin (Leebo doesn't count). Perhaps it would be best for you to at least try to woo someone of the opposite sex sometime this century, given that you'd rather not die completely alone. Only somewhat alone!



You then realize that you have absolutely no idea how to talk to women and instead just improvise. With gusto, you start weaving tales of your space-faring adventures, and how you totally saved the galaxy from evil sith lords that one time, honest, for real. It definitely had a far-reaching impact on the Star Wars canon I mean your life's canon. You can ask anyone and they'll tell you all about how Dash Rendar is a hero, baby! Anyone who knows about the Star Wars extended universe, you mean.

Blind Sally posted:

> tell 2B about that one time you totally harpoon and tow-cable'd three AT-ATs



In fact you elaborate highly on one such space-faring tale! 2B remains thoroughly unimpressed as you tell her about your pet AT-AT's, who you found wandering the streets of New York and took under your wing. You and your stereotypical schlubby best friend moved into a studio apartment to raise the three AT-AT's after you lassoed them in by tow cabling them till they fell over (wacky chase hijinx ensued in the meantime). Then some real funny situational comedy happened as you and your best pal trained up your AT-AT's to win a national talent show for money and acclaim, spurned on by your rivalry with a pompous dog owner who's way too serious, portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal.

Or something like that.

> give Max Payne 3 disc to 2B





"Here, I bought a bunch of these for like 1 dollar apiece at Wal Mart." You say, handing 2B one of your stockpile. Suddenly, your vision goes dim, and a very spookily narrated cutscene starts.



A very long time ago, there was an electric shaver...

...It cried out for its mother, but heard no answer...

...In another time, the clean-shaven man dove through the air in slow motion, firing two semi-automatic pistols...

...The electric shaver cried and cried, alone in the cabinet...

...Then, it was opened, and the bearded man became the bald one...

...And the shaver cried no more....




"What the hell was that?" You ask.

2B shrugs. Apparently that just happens sometimes. She doesn't question it.

>Go left to the hangar, we have to advance the plot

Finally, someone thinking with their head instead of Dash Rendar's penis!



You enter the hangar. Famous ships from video games and general media line the walls, each of them ready for takeoff at any moment. You spot the Space Invaders ship, as well as the Crozier (what a piece of poo poo). Dash Rendar's Outrider sits on the far end of the hangar, only halfway on-screen so that I wouldn't have to draw all of it yet because that thing looks really stupid and hard to draw. However, it seems there's a shady looking character loitering in front of your ship! Their posture indicates that they are not happy to see you.

If you aren't buff enough to throw a girl:

You discuss your desire to throw 2B at the enemy, using her heavy android weight as a counterbalance, so that she may strike first before they notice your presence and become hostile. She responds reasonably to this request with a hard to read frown.



2B picks you up and chucks you at them instead.



You sail through the air like a graceful discus. 2B really could've joined the olympics were it not for the whole machine war thing! She surely would've brought home the gold, you consider fondly as your skull impacts the ground.



Thankfully, your head is pretty much empty and very spongy so you just bounce off of the hard metal floor like a sock-'em bopper, careening into the shadowy figure and knocking them over. So hey, technically your plan was a success! Congrats! The figure is knocked into the light and you finally get a good hard look at who the person that wants to kick your rear end really is.







Why, it's your old Bunker-mate FOOD! You may or may not remember him from that other adventure he was a part of from a long time ago! He is rubbing his head, staggered by your bowling ball antics. If you're going to say something to try and possibly dissuade him from beating you up, you'd better say it now!

>Introduce him to 2B to quickly distract him from what just happened.

As Isaac (ah gently caress calling him FOOD) gets to his feet, you notice that your stalwart companion of about 5 minutes has meandered to your side. She offers no apology for flinging you at the supposed enemy, but there's no time to think about that now as he is looking pretty steamed!



You exchange introductions between Isaac and 2B, somehow expecting that they wouldn't already know each other despite all three of you living on the Bunker. I dunno, maybe you three have just never passed each other in the hall before or something. Either way, you tell him everything you know about her: She has very little in the way of manners, is strong enough to throw a human like a frisbee, and is absolutely not into you in any way. Also a huge fan of Max Payne 3 as it turns out, which makes her the best person you've met so far on your journey of the, uh, two. Sorry, Dash Rendar's Mom.



Isaac is not amused.

Blind Sally posted:

> comment on what a piece of poo poo the Crozier is then insist that Norton was right, questioning FOOD as to why he didn't use his stasis packs.



You probably should not have done that. It seems it's a relatively sore subject, even though you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Ignatius M. Meen posted:

>Actually try to be a normal person and apologize, hopefully before we get our rear end beat but definitely after if not



Isaac pushes forward, eyeballing you angrily. He shouts about how it's all your fault he's in this mess, how everything that's happened to him over the last several days was all your doing. He throws many accusations about things that happened before this adventure began, and so you have no clue what he means by any of it as if you have some form of plot-related amnesia or something. You don't, but if you did, that's about how you would be feeling right now. He is very angry about SOMETHING that happened between you two recently, you just don't know what he means.



Thankfully, for the benefit of you, the reader, 2B interjects.

"I don't mean to be rude, but what the hell are either of you talking about?"



You stare onward with a blank, unreadable expression (because there's nothing to read) as Isaac folds his arms. "Oh, I'll tell you," he says. "I'll tell you all about how this jerk dragged me back into a life of violence and general anxiety."





You are now playing as Isaac. It's a few days prior. You are currently hanging out in your room doing pretty much nothing of value while you wait for the next escapade by Blind Sally and Nine-Gear Crow to begin. You're pretty bored, and were just eating some delicious pizza before deciding you were full for now. You have stood up from your round card table with such ferocity that... well, nothing flipped over or anything, you have some modicum of table manners after all. Either way, you have no idea of the storm that will soon be headed your way. I mean, you do, but Isaac doesn't. You'd best prepare for the worst.

What will you do?

Good idea. You turn around to face the other wall. There's not much here except for the mandatory air filtration vent which you have boarded up out of extreme paranoia, your tinkering bench where you try to figure out how exactly power nodes fit into your tools, and your highly valued poster of Jake Gyllenhaal doing his best James Dean impression. Also a rug that really ties the room together.

On the workbench is your other prized possession.



You pick up the Plasma Cutter with righteous fury. As if by natural instinct, you hold it aloft, peering around like a real cool dude for anything that might require having a limb or 6 blasted from its sorry carcass. Your finger inches for the trigger as you prepare yourself for absolutely anything, jump scares included.



Your Plasma Cutter is out of ammo, however, so it's a useless gesture. Maybe there's some around the Bunker for you to pick up, who knows.

Tasteful Dickpic posted:

>use a Stasis pack. You never know when you might need it!



You are mildly disgruntled as you recall that you also don't have any stasis packs. In fact you haven't had any for a very long time, not since your long-time acquaintance Dash Rendar asked to borrow them all for some dumb space-faring adventure. Of course, he used 'borrow' in the sense that people utilize when they say they're going to 'borrow' your food, so you didn't really expect them back. It would be nice to rebuild your stock though.

Hazamuth posted:

Alright, sure. You pick up the Non-Euclidean Chairdecahedron Of Perspective Defiance, an ancient Unitology artifact you discovered. Apparently they collected these things and then sacrificed them in some kind of Chair Convergence ritual in an attempt to summon the Uberchair and ascend all seating arrangements throughout the galaxy to a higher plane. gently caress you, Unitology.

Also, your Plasma Cutter is back on the table because a certain somebody forgot to edit it out and doesn't give a drat worth a poo poo about doing so after the fact.
