Nice thread. NOW WHERE IS OUR CHAINSAW ARM?
You are awoken by the sound of an alarm in the distance.

You cannot remember how you got here, or when, or what day it is now. Even your own name is eluding you.



However, you do seem to remember having two arms when you went to sleep. Your right is missing, and there is a sharp ache under the dressing.



The alarm grows louder. You hear footsteps, then a key in the lock. The door handle starts to rattle. This doesn't seem promising.



You have time to open and search one of the nightstand drawers before the door opens. A hint:

Red options are offensive - weapons and the like.
Yellow options are defensive - things that will help you defend yourself or make it easier to escape.
Blue options are functional - keys, information or other bits and pieces that you will find useful.

A map of the current area (not to scale):



Yes, you are a small girl with pigtails.

I pick blue, it probably has the key to the locked filing cabinet which is probably full of goodies!

Edit- Also why the hell wouldn't you just use red yellow green?

I'll say red

And I'll say that those drawings look really professional, feels like a DS game.

Red. As has already been said, a one armed girl can't possibly defend herself and so the only option is to KILL!

Fantastic drawing style, by the way.

Blue, maybe it's your other arm!! Also the red and yellow things are probably stuff that you would need two arms to use, like a jump rope or something.

I say go for broke, choose red. You can always open the blue drawer after you kill whoever's coming in.

Shit, really? They don't?! :,(
Which door are they coming from? If it's from the bathroom, maybe they just had to poo poo or shower or something and are totally defenseless. I'd say red, get them when they least expect it!

Edit: Nevermind, I guess it'd be the locked one since the handle is rattling. I say red anyway.
