A single word, its paint chipped away, stretched over the plate glass.
Starting point is 00:01:51 At one point it read Jerry's, but now it was more like eekneys. The condition of the place belied its popularity. Unless he knew of it, he'd overlook it, or write it off as a drug den. Drugs are just one of the many things it offered, but only to a close crowd and handpicked customers. Everyone else knew it as a coffee house that stayed open despite its lack of business. Many suspected that it was a front for something more sinister, or that it was simply being funded from the owner's pocket alone. If they only knew, they'd wish that the explanation was that simple.

How the hell am I going to get a bottle of whiskey and knife and some rare herbs all in the same place?

I don't know. I just know how it must be done. When you've done this, wait for a night when the stars sparkle like the shards of a shattered mirror.

Trust me on this. It's my only gift to you. Approaching them you'll find a woman chained to the bottom of a deep well, deeper than you could possibly hold your breath. She doesn't struggle, doesn't scream, simply stares up at you with persistent want. Don't meet her gaze, or you'll find yourself walking towards the well,
Starting point is 00:04:56 whether you want to or not. You'll jump in and eventually drown trying to save her. Keep walking towards the pillars to find a series of raised platforms, forming a staircase to the highest one. As you walk up them, You'll hear and see the most terrible things. People being slowly flayed to the bone. Infants being raped.
Starting point is 00:05:20 People screaming for help. For mercy. Ignore them. They are but memories now. You cannot save them. As you step onto the final platform, it will collapse out beneath you. Still got the alcohol from before? You're going to need it if luck's not in your favor.
Starting point is 00:05:41 As you plummet to your death, you'll hear one of two things. A powerful voice stating that it's not your time to die, are the same voice reciting a long list of everything you've ever done that would condemn you. If you hear the former congratulations, you're in the clear. Skip the following message and carry on. If you hear the latter, well, then you'd better hope death's thirsty. If he is, you can trade.
Starting point is 00:06:11 the bottle of alcohol for one more year. It will be easily the most uneventful year you'll ever have, because your unplanned for extension cannot be allowed to have effects on the lives of others, lest it attract the notice of the arch-gods, who are very destroy it all and start again happy. Still, this kind of thing happens when you make people serve thousand-year-long shifts. Just saying, if any of them are. listening to this.
Starting point is 00:06:43 If all goes properly, you'll find yourself in a vast expanse of void. Stay perfectly still and watch the ground for flashing squares. These are markers for the most forgetful deities, so they can avoid a death by matter compression. That's right. You're in the heart of a black hole. Technically, you're smaller than even the lowliest bit of some atomic material, but that's got no bearing on things.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Remember the coffee house from before? That's your end goal. As you walk forward through the wormhole, keep it in your mind. Feel the cool breeze on your face. Smell the crisp, salty air. Hear the plucking of a nostalgic melody drift idly through the night. Go towards the light and open the door. If you did it correct, you'll see a very empty coffee house.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Tables are scattered throughout the room, all in states of bed. disuse. Some chairs are tipped over, the food on the table waiting patiently for an owner who will never return. Choose one of them and sit down. Eventually, the piano man will notice you and come over.

Walk back there and you'll find the door to the cellar, conveniently hidden behind the register counter. Pull it open to find a beautiful man or woman shackled to one of the tiny room's walls. As soon as you go down, the door will slam shut behind you. You'll hear the sound of a lock clicking into place. The person before you is a god or goddess that's fallen from grace.
