The otter Grace smiles and tears up.
Otter Grace: “Oh Flynn! How’d you know I was the real one!”

You explain your immaculate attention to detail to her.
Her smile slowly turns into a frown, and she starts tearing up more. You ask what’s wrong?

Otter Grace: “I-I-I don’t want to be stuck like this Flynn! I don’t want be an otter!”

O-ooh. You kinda did just destroy her actual body. Hm, how are you going to fix this one now?

>>1076238
...maybe Human Resources can help. Also, I suspect that if we trigger another time loop somehow she'll get her body back. After all, the otter was "killed" by the yeti last loop.

For now, we need to research how to solve things permanently. ...the File contains the world, apparently. Filing it is probably forbidden because it will cause a recursion loop, but what would happen if we simply looked inside it? Maybe we need to ask whoever made these rules. Who gave her the order to keep track of the File?

We also need to figure out why you keep having gaps in your memory. Tell her about the gaps to see if they sound familiar to her.

>>1076238

Oh well then maybe we otter do something about it.

>>1076315

It's an otter catastrophe.

Well, if the otter survived the first time he died to the yeti after the reboot, odds are after the system reboots again, Grace will be back to normal

Also, a thought, can we backup the do not file folder and its contents? All thats gonna happen is that this otter is going to keep coming back over and over again until he destroys that file.
But what if we take it to a copy machine, make a few copies, and hide those in a secure place so that if the file gets destroyed, we have backups?

Otter than that lets fiz Grace's situation. Human resources might can fix Grace. Plus we still need to return the keys to her. Thats something she wanted us to do, remember?

How otterly humiliating. Go see HR.

Wotter we gonna do if she can't change back?

Tell her you will try to get it fixed like you are trying to fix the other stuff.

In the mean time, she can takes this as a very realistic costume that she can play with!

At least she can swim really well. Except the water in the ski simulation is all frozen up in the form of snow. Oh well. I'm sure she would have a lot of fun if the temperature was a little bit






hotter

>We also need to figure out why you keep having gaps in your memory. Tell her about the gaps to see if they sound familiar to her.
Grace: “Usually, I think anyway… Weird memory gaps only pop up when you regain some memories from the past sessions. It’s like you can remember a part of another past, but just a little snippet. I’ve never experienced something like that in a present experience.”

>Go see HR.

Hm, that is right. You suggest going to see HR.

Grace: “I can’t go out looking like, like this!”

You ask why not? She just gives you a look.

Grace: “Uh, I can’t go around looking so otterly unfashionable! I’ll be the joke of the office!”

You try to cheer her up a bit, she doesn’t look that bad as an otter.

Grace: “Ahh, thanks Flynn. But no, really. I look and sound like the guy who wanted to destroy us. I don’t feel safe walking around looking like this.”

Yeah…that might be a more tough one to explain to your coworkers. Especially if they're not in the know on what's happening around here.
You could either leave Grace here for now, or maybe there’s something you can do to change up her outfit? Something that doesn't say "Look out! It's that otter!!!"

Well, where are we? Maybe we can get her some clothes? Or she can take off that tie? Swap shirts with you maybe?

Lend her our antlers. Nobody would suspect she was an otter then.

wait

OK OK I got it. Take the clothes off of Grace's dead body, wearing those they'll think she's

wait

Do we still have our safety helmet we can give her to hide those otter ears?

Hmm I don't suppose we could do some digital weirdness and give Grace a copy of our body?

>Lend her our antlers. Nobody would suspect she was an otter then.
Unfortunately, your antlers are firmly planted in your head. Unless you were to saw them off and make her a headband, they’re stuck on you for now.

>Well, where are we?
Hard to see, but it seems your in the little lunch room you were in earlier.

>I got it. Take the clothes off of Grace's dead body, wearing those they'll think she's

Just a dusty pile of one’s and zero’s were her old body once stayed sadly.

>she can take off that tie? Swap shirts with you maybe?
Hm, that might work? Oh wait, your clothes aren’t going to fit her, she’s much smaller than you now. You still have her take the tie off though.

>Do we still have our safety helmet we can give her to hide those otter ears?
As a matter of fact, you do! You equip her with your make shift helmet. Ears now hidden.

Otter Grace: “Hm, I feel a little silly, but maybe this should be good enough. I guess for now we can just say I’m a new construction guy?”

With the makeshift disguise in place, you head over to helpful resources undisturbed.

HR Manager: “Here to finally return my keys?”

You return them to her. She sighs with relief and then squints at Otter Grace.

HR Manager: ”Is that…? Flynn who is that with you?”

How will you explain things to the HR Manager?

>>1076550
Tell her you have eliminated an intruder, but not before he swapped bodies with Grace. Is there any way they can restore a backup of her body or something?

Waaaaaaait a minute:

we never told anyone, including the HR Manager our name, except to Grace.... How did she know our name was Flynn?

>>1076556
It's true!

Punch the impostor and make her switch bodies with Grace.

> leave it to Beaver!

Whatever we do, resist the urge to trade otter puns with her. Resist. Just calmly and collectedly tell her what's the motter.

>>1076556
HR usually knows who's who because they're the ones that usually have a say, if not the final say, on who's hired or fired. That said, no harm in bluffing and seeing if they know that fact or not.

>HR usually knows who's who because they're the ones that usually have a say, if not the final say, on who's hired or fired.

You would think she’d know your name? No harm in testing her though. You ask her how she knows your name, having not properly introduced yourself yet.

HR Manager: “I’d be a pretty bad manager if I didn’t know our employees names.”
She lets out a little chuckle.
HR Manager: “I should introduce myself more properly though, since you brought it up. The name’s Beaverly.”

Part of you groans internally hearing another corny pun.
>Tell her you have eliminated an intruder, but not before he swapped bodies with Grace. Is there any way they can restore a backup of her body or something?
You try your best to explain you gave the boot to an intruder, but he pulled off some weird body swap with Grace. You need help getting her back to normal.

Beaverly: “You know, with how screwy things have been here today, I almost believe it. How can you be sure that’s really Grace trapped inside some otter’s body though?”

Grace: “Well I know about the secret investor pizza party.”

Beaverly: “Well if this ain’t a beaver damn of a situation.”
She pauses for a moment.
Beaverly: “Alright, the best I can do to help is going into the employee records. I need you to gather up anything you can find that resembles Grace’s actual body. Clothing, fur, socks, shoes, the whole works. Got it?”

You’re a little confused on how she plans to use all of that to help, but it’s the best lead you’ve got for now. Where are you going to search around first?

>>1079385
Erm, what about pictures? Her employee of the month picture would be a great help.

>>1079385

Defragmentation? Anyway she should be able to safely go to her office now and can hide work in there. She might have some personal affects there. Does she even... have an apartment? I'm afraid her old body's clothes might have been the only clothes Grace owned.

>>1079389

We accidentally shredded that along with those silly cat pictures a while ago.

DNA samples maybe? Grab her coffee cup.

Well, if there was anything of hers left, it probably would be in her office. Maybe getting back to work will help keep her mind off this…new situation.

Otter Grace: “Quick, check my closet Flynn!”

A closet in an office room?
You open it up to find a wide wardrobe of the exact same outfits. You ask what’s up with that?

Otter Grace: “You have no idea how many times I’ve spilt coffee on my myself. There’s keyboards and mice up above too.”
Luckily the file didn’t share a similar fate.

>DNA samples maybe? Grab her coffee cup.
Speaking off coffee. Maybe you should bring take her coffee cup to? Just incase.

You’ve got her clothing figured out at least. Now, how to go about finding some of her fur?

>>1082484
Comb? Her chair? The floor of the office?

Check the floor of the closet, some may have shaken loose when she changed clothes.

Maybe there'll be fur on something she rubs against herself a lot.

Like her headset!

>>1082509
thats actually a great idea

Check inside the keyboards.
There is always hair inside the keyboards.

She takes off her head set and looks at it for a moment. Hm, is it really a headset though when it’s resting on your ear?

Otter Grace: “Ew! Gross. Uh, no. I wish my fur was on this instead. I need to find something to clean this off with.”

>Check inside the keyboards. There is always hair inside the keyboards.
You flip over her keyboard and give it a good shake

Eugh! Either she sheds a lot or doesn’t clean out her keyboard.

Otter Grace: “Oh! Hm, maybe that’s why I have to press down harder on some of the keys.”

To make it easier to carry, you collect all her fur into the empty coffee cup.

Beverly: “Wow, that was fast. Do you keep extra clothes here too Grace?”

Otter Grace: “Yeah, always spilling my coffee.”

Beaverly: “Yeesh. That’s a lot of fur too. Where’d you find all this?”

Otter Grace: “Don’t ask.”

Beaverly: “Alright then. I’m going to take this stuff over in the back. Just uh, give me a holler when she’s back to normal. Might take me a few tries to get it right.”

And you forgot to try out the otter sausage.

That looks about right, though her head looks smaller than before.

I love this quest, I swear.

Turn her back into male otter and then kiss her lots in order to make this a wholesome story about loving people for the quality of their character and not their physical appereance........

Or tell her to look in the mirror and see if there is anything amiss. Still partail to the otter plan, though.

You look great! If everything feels in order, we should make sure to shave off some fur after this and store it in a secure location, you know uh, just in case.

Get some blank folders and write "Do Not File" on them. It probably won't work but at least you'll have some decoys, saving you from otter defeat.

You attempt to make a copy Derox™ of the DO NOT FILE folder. However an error message pops up:

This action cannot be completed because the file is already in use.

Haha I knew it. The folder contains the world itself. You can't file it, and you can't look inside it, because to do either thing would cause a recursive loop.

How does it feel to carry the weight of the world?
Anyway yeah we can't make a backup. I am interested in finding out where it came from though. Let's research the origin of the universe!

Bah, those error messages never know what they're talking about. Keep hitting retry until it complies.

>>1091801
I mean, if you think about it, the name of this quest is called DO NOT FILE, and it literally says DO NOT FILE on the folder we are not supposed to file... soooooo, yeah, it's probably literally the entire quest in this folder.

Oh no it’s a recursive picture of a deer on a computer!

Do you really want to make a backup since that would mean two files you must not file?

What you need to find out is why that otter was ordered to destroy it. Who wants it gone, why, and how do you stop them? Their agent while passionate was just a worker like you with a directive to destroy the file. Who gave the directive? If they can't shield their identity by sending workers to do their dirty work, then you might be able to learn something more about this mystery.

And maybe don't mention this to Grace, but something is wrong with her too. Why didn't she want the dinner to end? Just because you're such a hottie? Didn't want to go back to work? Why was the dinner so limited and disjointed, in ways that surprised her? She seemed desperate, in ways not even she understood herself. Who is resetting, and what's in the darkness behind Grace's smile?

If you knew this job would entail protecting the very fabric and well being of the world, you would have asked for a higher starting wage. Concerning everything might exist only because it’s inside a slim filing folder.

Grace: “Whoa whoa whoa, that’s a lot to take in, and still a bit hard to believe… How would we even go about researching any of that? We can’t just open the folder and take a look. We’re not allowed to.”

Grace: “Learning about it’s origin would be interesting, but I’d rather stay away from any more fishy otter business as well, Flynn. Rather not poke the bee’s nest as they say.”

>>1091808
What would she suggest we do instead?

We should at least get a fake label to put over the "do not file", get few other folders to go with it. If we can't get it safely filed away we can at least hide it in plain sight.

>>1091808
You're not allowed.
Buuuut....
Are we?

I am a little worried you holding it open will be like an ark of the covenant thing from indeerana jones, but im also curious.

NO! Changing the labeling of the Do Not File folder AT ALL could cause confusion later! Hard enough to keep track of it as is! (I would say it could also drastically change reality to just RENAME it, but that’s probably the file INSIDE the folder. Mayyybe try relabeling the folder to Cheese Louise for JUST A FEW SECONDS to see what happens. Switch it back after.)

Unfortunately it seems like fishy otter business won't stay away from us, not as long as we have the file. Learning its origin might help though, if it has an origin. Who gave the file to you, Grace?

Maybe we should start with a morning coffee.

Grace: “I don’t know how, but it looks like it fell off my desk into the trash bin. Guess that’s what I get for not keeping an eye on it.”

The world around you freezes and giant pop up blocks your view.

New critical updates are available for your system. A system restart is required to install these updates. The system updater will automatically initiate in one hour. All users will be logged out, please save and close out of any documents you are working on before then. If you are ready to update now, please click update. If not, click Notify Me Later.”

Notify Me Later.
Let's get that file out of the trash bin first...

Later
Have to get your affairs in order first.
And get those files out of the trash, taking care that if anything has slipped out you tuck it back in without looking at it.

Restore everything in the bin, then hit Restart Now. We've been putting this system restore off long enough.
Hopefully the jury-rigged repair job will last long enough for an outside branch to supply an uncorrupted backup...

What is that TIND file?

notify later, we gotta get the file out of the trash, and maybe see what else we can take out of the trash. If she managed to put the do not file folder in the trash, she may have accidentally put other important things she wasn't supposed to in the trash without realizing

Just thought of something, we already shredded a lot of trash earlier today, which means whatever this stuff is in the trash is trash that was put in after we shredded that stuff. So yeah, another reason to look through that and find anything else that's important (along with the file we shouldn't file of course)

Ugh, this update better not be installing ads

>>1095365
or AI that spies on us

>>1095341
Quickly! Restore the Entire trash bin
You need to beat the update clock!

>>1095370

I'm afraid that ship has already sailed.

No time to update! You gotta save these files first.

>Ugh, this update better not be installing ads
Time freezes again as a series of ads pop and start flashing. UGH.
No, no, no, close out, not interested, do not show this pop up again…

You ask Grace to pull all those files out of the bin.

Grace: “Sure.”

There’s three folders on her desk now. “DO NOT FILE, T.I.N.D, and The”. The “the” folder had another word, but it’s been sharpied out. You ask if she can look into the TIND folder.

Grace: “Hm…oh! Now I’m remembering what this folder is. It’s an oldie. It was the details about a couple that got trapped in dungeon out in the middle of nowhere. Sadly that one ended up going cold. ”

Grace: “I don’t want the same thing to happen to us Flynn. M-Our… shift is almost over for the day. I'd love to do something with you before we punch out for the day. I'm open to suggestions."

You know Grace, there was something that has been bothering me

At the very start of our job, the folder we were supposed to not file said "top secret" on it. >>1055461

But after we asked you to clean your desk and you put it in your desk, and then later put it back on your table under the pen container, the folder suddenly said "do not" >>1055661 >>1056240




Ummmm... hate to ask but, is that the folder we were supposed to protect, or have we been protecting the wrong folder this whole time? If it isnt the folder we were supposed to protect, where is the folder labeled "top secret"? Still in your desk?

Well first put the actual trash back in the bin.

Then let's go make out in the janitor's closet.

Boot up the Microsoft Entertainment Pack and play co-op Taipei

Wait, was that Graces photo we shredded in that ad? How'd they get it???

How about a nice romantic trip to a dungeon out in the middle of nowhere? What could possibly go wrong?

>>1095533
Check out the rack on him!

I mean, ugh. How crass.

>>1095535
Hmmmm.
We could get coffee and do some office foraging.
Thats where we find abandoned or unguarded food items to sustain ourselves in this harsh environment.
The best part is it only requires minimal amounts of larceny!

>>1095535
Honestly, fun seems to be at a premium here. So let's try just something between us. How about we raid the fridge for whatever food we got and I'll tell you a funny story about how I ended up buying 15 different plush dolls for my mom by accident. It involves a paint bucket, a chicken, and a entire freaking cheese wheel.
