*Hisses tugging harder*

2775125
He comes to a massive set of brass doors. The lock on the door is ridiculously complex, with moving parts beyond number. The doorknobs are shaped like bear traps.

2775167
The shocks you, and pulls you back.

2775192

Night Shade studies the lock for a bit. It has many open areas, but they look intamperable. He closes his eyes and focuses on one of the openings, exploring the shadows inside the lock with his mind's eye. To his surprise, there are no tumblers. This lock was unpickable, even with metaphysical manipulation. He began to run scenarios in his mind. How could he open something like this without the key? There was no obvious key-hole to speak of.

2775273
All he can see are the doorknobs. Beyond that, the door seems to have no other method of opening. The clocks continue their function.

2775209
*Screams in pain*

2775391

Night Shade studies the knobs, but no matter what method he uses, there seems to be no way to tell if they are pressure-sensitive. He looks over to his left, spotting a small pocket watch mounted on it. He tugs at it with his magic, hoping beyond hope that the watch will give.

2775420
The chains stop frying you.

2775433
It easily pulls out. All the clocks stop. The ticking doesn't.

2775464
*Slumps over panting*

2775464

Night Shade stops everything, waiting for the impending reaction that doesn't come. Beyond the clocks stopping, he senses nothing out of the ordinary. Satisfied that he wasn't in imminent danger, he moved the watch over to one of the knobs, and with a prayer, pushed with all the force his magic would allow.

2775492
Nothing happens.

2775510
The door creaks open. Inside....Inside is something horrifying.
Dales, ponies, dragons, diamond dogs, and more. All sprawled and slumped against the walls. All muttering the same to words over and over, in perfect sync.

Tick Tock
Tick tock
Tick Tock

2775554
*Yanks on them again*

2775610
They shock you again.

2775629
*Silently cries out pulling harder*

2775641
They retract, stretching you out painfully.

2775681
*Screams in pain stopping to catch my breath*

"Why do you make me do this? I don't want to hurt! Stop making me hurt you!''

2775719
*Glares at him*

2775988
Lolk sighs, and sits down with a novel.

2773507
"Thank god the comms arent fried....how long have i been out?" I ask slightly worried as i begin to raise the side arm again

2776868
*Does tha lts thing he would expect, cry*

2775554

Night Shade trots carefully through the room, careful to avoid rousing any of the beings from their hypnosis. He inspects one of the tranced ponies closer.

2777916
-Around a day or so.

2778428
Lolk looks up, then returns to his novel. After reading a few minutes, he sighs, and gets up. "Look, I'll patch you through to one of the other operatives still in the mission, if you like."

2782635
The pony doesn't notice you. Based on his eyes, he appears to be in some form of shock.
Night, are you there?!

2782793

"Lolk?" He presses lightly on his earpeice. "Lolk, is that you?"

2782842
-Yes! Finally, we have contact and- Night? what's that noise? The sort of 'Tick tock tick tock' noise? Its sounds really.....familiar....

2782879

"I...honestly don't know. I woke up in this hallway, and its been playing since I woke. It's getting rather annoying, actually. I can't seem to find the source."

2782950
-I'm guessing there are no clocks.....Hold, let me pull up the vide- Wat. Night....You're in a hallway full of tick tocking entities.......And there's some stairs at the end of the hallway. I don't know where they lead though, this entire wing is completely unlabeled.

2782973

"Just my luck." He looked towards the stairs in the shadows. "Nowhere else to go, I suppose. Requesting radio silence. Oh, and Lolk?"

2783006
-What is it Night?

2783037

"If I ever find my way out of here, you're buying the drinks." He makes his way to the staircase, closing his eyes and letting his instincts guide him in the dark.

2783057
-....you wish. Activating radio silence.
*CLICK*

2782793
"FUCK YOU! You killed them!"
*Sobs harder*
"They trusted yu and you left them to die!"

2783085

Night Shade stepped in beat with the tick-tocking, before reaching the end of the stairs. He opens his eyes, once again allowing the light to guide him

2783123
"Shut. Up."

2783126
The door in front of him opens up, revealing a massive clockwork cathedral.
"Hellllooooooooooo Rainbow Factory! I'm online, and ready to go!"

2783170

Night Shade backtracks swiftly into the staircase, just out of sight of the doorway. He whispers to himself. "What the fuck...?"

2783170
"Oh like the others? You want me dead just like them don't ya!"
*Tugs on the cha ns trying to electrocute myself*

2783194
"Who's ready for this!? We've got an Underground agent hailing from the N! L! R! Right here with us, as I tear him apart in a variety of ways!"

2783246

They knew he was there. Hiding was useless now. He sighed and put on his most stoic face as he walked through the doorway, into the cathedral.

2783240
"I said. Shut. Up."
(Well done. You've learned. I'll take the bait. This time.)

2783277
"HeHeHe....did you really think I wouldn't notice? Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Falx, and you are night Shade. I'm going to kill you."

2783344

"How do you know my name? What...What is this place? Don't tell me the factory is powered by clockwork."

2783363
"Of course its not powered by clockwork. They don't trust me enough for that! And as for your name....Let's just say a little bird told me. Welcome to the clock tower. Where all my dreams come true. No really, they do!"

2783291
"Come kill me like your killing them!"
*Pulls the chains s tight as possible*

2783414
"I'm not killing them! I'm trying to save you!"

2783434
"No your not your killing them! Come in here and kill me you FREAK"

2783457
"Fine!"
He levitates an assault rifle from the corner, and points it at your head.

2783392

"Who were all those others back there? Whats wrong with them?"

2783489
"Simple! they're the background singers!"

2783485
"Do it freak!"
'time this right time this right'

2783566
He opens fire.
"If you wish t die, then so be it!"
