Blue guy wont answer.
You walk over to the box and the cord seems to get a bit longer as you yank on it.
Blue guy falls to the side and hits the ground with his head. Didn't wake him up, maybe he's really dead.
The box seems to be made of metal or some other kind of hard material. You can't see any kind of gap or opening but for two fist-big holes on the sides.

I see some buttons, go push the third button to see what happens.

What's that white thing on the floor next to the blue guy?

>>79068

Is that a brown pullchain?

These seem to be three, same-sized holes in the wall. You stick your finger in but nothing happens.
Blue Guy seems to leak.
On the ground you see a little torn note.
That seems to be a pullchain. I don't have any clues what yanking on it will do.

Search the blue guy, see if he has something useful. And yank the pullchain.

You roll Blue Guy over but can't find anything on him. Like you, he doesn't seem to have any kind of belongings. You, however, notice a strange mark on his back.
A shiver runs down your spine.

Wake up!

You pinch yourself but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
You turn around and see writing on the wall, colored crimson-red.
WAKE UP
Red fluid starts dripping down the walls.
You hear something rumble as you step back, almost tripping over the cord to your feet.

Open Drawers.

>>79097
Click the marked button, surely nothing bad will happen!

Oh god blood everywhere. Press the "I" button.

You examine the three holes in the wall once again, but apart from the blood-smeared mark around the orifice I, you see nothing unusual.
You try to pry your finger into it anyway, not without having some serious doubts about it, but nothing happens.
You examine the box more closely. There are two holes on contiguous sides. Blood drips out of them and you hear something making odd noises inside of it.
For a moment it almost sounds like a laugh. Or a cry. You can't differ.

Slide person filled box to gold cord. Pull cord.

Try to pull the pullchain.

>>79107
Stick your finger in the I slot and yank the chain.

You attempt to move the box but it's no use - it seems like it has never been moved and you wont be the one to change that fact.
The chain is unreachable - you would have to make a jump from the box which seems quite risky as you have no idea what it does.
You slide your fingers into the orifice, shuddering under the squishy noises as more blood pours out of it. You feel a switch and press it, having almost your whole arm stuck in the machinery. You hear whirring noises which vanish after you let go of it.

>>79181

reach into the other hole

Stick your arm into the other hole, hopefully there'll be another switch. Also try to keep your sanity, there's some crazy shit going on in this room.

Your body trembles as you make your way to the other orifice in the box. It seems to work the same way as the other one - it stops working once you pull your hand out of it.

>>79711
Stick your hands in both holes.

>>79714
Wait. Is that even possible? Drag the box over and stick the other guy's hand in one hole while you push the switch in the other.

What or who the fuck is floating up there!?

That black man? He was there since I woke up.

You drag Blue Guy over to the box and stuff his already stiff hand into the opening, which seems to do the trick. With your now quite short cord, you only barely manage to reach the other button.

You hear something give in and the top of the box opens up...

>>79723
Well? Open it up!

Inside of the box you find a long, cylindric object, it's almost as thick as one of your fingers.

>>79727
Shove it in the hole marked I!

>>79727
How did your restraint break?

Oh god, we're gonna die.

Use the blue cylinder with the "I" button.

>>79727

He's got a knife! Don't let him stab you while you're messing with the holes!

Did the cord just break?

What are you talking about, you're still fixed to this damn restraint, you must be seeing things.

You push the shaft into the hole I which seems to result into the pullchain being lowered. It's easily reachable for you now.

>>79761

WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU!

Use pullchain, pull and back up.

Pull the chain and hit the ground!

Well, it can't get worse. Feel for the holes, and try rod on II

I have no idea what's going on!

It looks like we could've solved this before the black/white man appeared. Wouldn't have had much time to inspect the puzzle pieces though.

Schwarz is black, the black one may have been the actual main character of the story. This may have been the opening.

Nevertheless, waking up always feels like a salvation.

You just turn back to the road and drive by, never looking back.

Or you could stop the car, get out, and make a video with your cellphone.

You know him, that's Bruno, the Boss's secretary. You would think somebody that close to the top would have some kind of higher function, but he's just typing stuff into his machine. He always does.

I like him, at least he's not such a creep like the Boss.

"I've got your work right here, he won't see you today." , he says, throwing over a stack of files with your assignements. "Do them whenever, you know the drill."
