Couldn't you just kill yourself to reverse the damage?

Okay, been waaaaay too long since the last update, so I better get one out before I get hooked into Minecraft again... 
- part 7:
- Suddenly the man's hand drove into his pocket.
999 Soundtrack: Tinderbox (new soundtrack)
It came back out with a knife. A pocketknife.
HEY YOU BASTARD!! LET MY FAVORITE CHARACTER GO!!!
So yeah, I left you guys last time with this cliffhanger.... Let's see how it turns out:
He held it to Clover's pale, quivering neck.
: I-I-If you g-get any closer--!
I-I'll cut her open!
Santa skidded to a halt. He snarled at the scrawny man with the knife and gritted his teeth.: Y-Yes, that's right...
The man's smile was neither friendly nor reassuring. Sweat poured down his neck, soaking the collar of his shirt.
: Clover...are you all right?
The prince--[Snake's] voice sounded oddly concerned.
: Y-Yeah... I'm fine...
Her voice shook, making her words even less convincing.
: What the hell are you trying to do?!: I-I told you... This is my plan...
: What're you gonna do to her, you sick son of a bitch?: D-Don't worry... I-I'm not going to d-do anything to her...
If she just does what I t-tell her to, I'll let her go.
He started to move backward, slowly, keeping his grip on Clover.
Keeping their distance, Junpei and the others followed.
Eventually, the man reached the wall.
He gave a start as his back touched it, then glanced around quickly and spoke.
: V-V-Verify...: Huh?: The left. Look on your left. D-Do you see the device on the wall?
: What if I don't?
The man's nostrils flared and he looked like he was about to choke.
: A-A-A-Are you an idiot?! W-W-What do you think?!
I c-c-could slit your throat right now!
I'll kill you if I have to.
A-All I need is your bracelet.: ...: Just do it! D-Do it now!
He pressed the knife against Clover's neck, hard.
Slowly, she stretched her left hand out towards the device.
*screen goes dark*
Her back was to it, and she had to fell around for a moment before she found the circular panel.
It made a cold, electronic noise, and on the display above her hand, an asterisk appeared.
So that's how it works, Junpei thought to himself.
By placing one's palm on what the 9th Man had called the "scanner panel", the user's bracelet number would be entered into the device.
: "Should you total the numbers on your [numbered bracelets]..."
"...and find that the [digital root] of that number is equal to the number of that door, the door will open."
*screen goes dark again*
Junpei shifted his eyes to the door itself.
The number on it was [5].
The 9th Man seemed to know a little more about the device's operations than he should.
How had he known exactly what to do?: Good... Good, you're done. N-N-Next...
His blood-shot eyes crept from person to person until finally...
They stopped on the lion--[Ace].: You, right? You're the one with the number (1) bracelet, right?
: Yes. I am. So?: Th-Then y-you're next...
Just verify your number like this little b-brat did.
I really want to slug this guy....: ...: What are you doing?! D-Do it!
D-Don't you care what h-happens to her?!:O-Okay, okay. Just calm down...
Ace held up his hands, palms out.
The 9th Man jerked his chin towards the device.
Slowly, cautiously, Ace moved toward the device.
After what seemed like an agonizing eternity, he reached it.: Now... Verify.
Ace nodded and placed his hand on the scanner panel.
The device beeped again, and a 2nd asterisk appeared.
Now the device had Clover and Ace's numbers. (4) and (1).
4 + 1 = 5
The same as the number written on the door.
But it wouldn't open just yet...
: "Only [3-5] people can pass through one numbered door."
The door needed at least 1 more person.
Who would that be?
: G-G-G-Get back...
His voice shook, but the knife he held to Clover's throat made his words a command.
Ace took 2, then 3, steps back.: No! Farther! More than that! Go all the way back!
Slowly, Ace did what he was told.
The 9th Man's lips curled into a cruel, twisted smile.
That was when Junpei understood his plan.
Clover's (4) and Ace's (1)... Added to the 9th Man's (9)...
4 + 1 + 9 = 14 -> 1 + 4 = [5]
In other words...
*screen goes dark*: Hehe... Hehehe...
Ehehehehehehehehe!
: Th-Th-Thank God you were all so c-cooperative!
Now I can get out of this n-nightmare!
He pressed his own hand against the scanner panel.
*insert beeping sound*
Note, that image of the 9th Man placing his hand on the scanner is taken from the Wiki. The reason is because it never appeared in the actual game, but it did in the trailer for the game. So I figured I'd throw it in there just because.
A 3rd asterisk appeared on the screen.
He dropped his hand to the lever on the side of the device and pulled.
*insert another beeping sound*
Another note, both the lever being pulled and the door opening were animated, but it seems pointless to do a video of it. I'd do a gif of it, but I don't know how.
The door opened with a heavy, metallic groan.
He let go of Clover.: Wait!
Junpei leapt towards the 9th Man, but he wasn't fast enough.
*screen goes dark yet again*
The man shoved Clover...
*insert thudding sound*: Aaah!
...And hopped through the door.
*beep* *beep* *beep* *repeat a few times throughout the next bit*: O-O-Okay, have a good one, guys.
I'm going off ahead now. Well then...
Goodbye...
He raised his hand and waved, a twisted smirk on his face.
Then he was gone.
*insert groaning door sound, then silence*
Then he was gone. The door ground shut with a dull clang of metal on metal.
: Clover! Are you all right!?
Snake ran to Clover's side as she lay on the floor.
She climbed unsteadily to her feet, and once there, leaned heavily on Snake's shoulder for support.
Junpei ran to the door.
*screen goes dark again*
The others followed him.
Several pairs of hands grabbed hold of the handles and pulled.
They grunted and strained, but...
*insert groaning metal sound*: Shit! It won't budge!
That was when [Lotus], the dancer, spoke. Her voice was quiet.
: Do you hear something...?
: Like...what?: Like some sort of...beeping...
Junpei pressed his ear against the cold metal of the door.
The others did the same.
*insert faint, but constant beeping sound*
: You're right... I can hear it too.
: What is it?
Then they heard something else.
It was the 9th Man.
: Shit! Why isn't it stopping?! Goddamnit!
Y-Y-You l-lied!
Lied...?
*insert banging and rattling door sounds*: Th-Th-This wasn't supposed to happen!
This is wrong!
This is wrong!
His voice shook with fear.
Safe on the outside, they stepped back from the door and looked at one another.: What is happening in there...?
*insert more banging and rattling sounds*: O-O-O-Open the door! Please! I'm begging you!
Help me! Please, get me out of here! Get me out of here!
*more banging and rattling sounds*
Junpei grabbed hold of the device.
He slammed his hand on the scanner panel.
Nothing happened.
Why didn't it register him?! He looked at the display where the asterisks had shown up. It said "ENGAGED".
*more banging and rattling*: A-Ah... Oh my God, oh my God, there's no time left...!
Listen! I was lied to! He lied to me! He put me in here!
It was him! He killed me! It was him!
A...Aahh...Aaahhhh...
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaght--!
*beeping gets louder, then....
*BOOM*

Again, I'm sorry that I've been so lazy lately... I'll do my best to update regularly from now on.
I also apologize for not getting this out yesterday like I originally said in Let's Play Let's Post, but here's a nice, big update for today to make up for that:
I also apologize for not getting this out yesterday like I originally said in Let's Play Let's Post, but here's a nice, big update for today to make up for that:
- Loooooooong overdue part 8:
- Last time, I ended the update with a bang! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a good one....
...
...
The explosion rocked the room.
Instinctively, they ducked, then stood up slowly when they realized there was no danger.
No one spoke.
Silence filled the room.
*insert a loud bleeping sound*
In that silence, the electronic tone that echoed across the room sounded as loud as a gunshot.
All eyes turned toward it.
It had come from the device mounted next to the door.
The display changed from [ENGAGED] to [VACANT].
: Let's see if we can open it...
[Seven]--the mountain--swallowed hard.
Junpei nodded and placed his hand on the scanner panel.
A red asterisk appeared on the LCD panel.
The device had registered Junpei's bracelet number: 5.
His was not enough, however. At least 2 more people were needed.
Junpei asked...
< < Which pair? > >
Ace and Lotus (1 + 8)
Snake and Seven (2 + 7)
Santa and June (3 + 6)
Oh look! Our first decision!
...Unfortunately, there's not much of a choice to make here. If you remember how this works, you should be able to tell that all three pairs will equal the right combination (5+1+8=14 and 1+4=5, 5+2+7=14 and 1+4=5, 5+3+6=14....yeah).
There will be times when some decisions do nothing but change a small part of the story, but not the outcome of the story (in this case, who opens the door), but I promise you that there will be very important decisions later on (in fact, one will be coming up in this update).
One other thing to note before I continue is how I will be identifying the choices when they come up: I believe all of (but if not, most of) the choices will start off with a question that is surrounded by two greater than and less than symbols on each side. When I try to copy that, it seems to screw up what I say when I hit preview, so I'll be spacing them out a bit < < like this. > > After the question, the choices appear on the touch screen. I'll be identifying those by underlining them like this.
Anyway, since this choice doesn't really change anything, I'll be picking......Snake and Seven.
: Snake, Seven... You think you could give me a hand here?
The pun was a little too on-the-nose, but the mood was still grim.
Both Snake and Seven lifted their left hands silently.
Slowly, each of them placed their hand on the scanner panel.
5 + 2 + 7 = 14 --> 1 + 4 = [5]
They'd fulfilled the conditions.
If they were to pull the lever on the side...
999 Soundtrack: Chill and Rigor (new soundtrack)
One of my favorite soundtracks in the game! It's eerie, but I love the piano part!: Are you guys ready? I'm gonna open it.
Junpei grabbed the lever and looked back over his shoulder.
They stiffened and nodded.
Junpei nodded back, and set his mouth in a grim line.
Then he slowly...
lowered...
the lever...
*insert beeping sound*
There was a metallic groan, and the door slid open.
A breath of air drifted out of it, carrying a stench that nearly made them gag.
Junpei grimaced and put a hand over his mouth.
: Oh my God...
: Good God...
Lotus and Ace shuddered.
Seven grunted.
: Whoa... That's...pretty bad...
Even Santa's voice shook.
: He...he blew up...
It appeared that Santa was right.
The hallway on the other side of the door was splattered with chunks of torn flesh and dark, red blood.
*insert dramatic sound*
: Aaaaaiiii!
The shriek echoed across the room.
It had come from June.
Then her strength left her and she dropped--
As Junpei turned to catch her, the door groaned shut.
*insert door closing animation and door closing sounds*
She crumpled to the floor.
: June! You okay?!
Junpei dropped to his knees and put his arm around her shoulders.
That was when he noticed...
Her whole body was feverish. She was radiating intense heat...: What the hell?! Where'd this fever come from?
: ...
June didn't answer.
Her face looked like wax, and her whole body began to shake.
: All right, let's just rest for a minute, okay? You think you can walk?
She nodded weakly.
Junpei lifted June to her feet, and guided her to a nearby chair.
*screen fades to black*: Here we go...
As gently as he could, he set her down in it.
Poor June....: How are you feeling? Are you all right?
She nodded, and as she did, a single, huge tear rolled down the side of her face.: Why... Why did this happen...
Her voice cracked, broken by misery and grief and choked by sobs.: Why did this happen...
Junpei spun around.
: Do any of you know what the fuck is going on here?!
Who's Zero?! What's this "Nonary Game"!? C'mon! Anybody? Anything?!
What the hell is going on?! What are we doing here?!
No one spoke.
Ace, Snake, Santa, Clover, Seven, and Lotus...
They simply stood there, 7 pairs of downcast eyes and 7 grim lines for mouths.
I just noticed this: Unless they're also including either June or Junpei in that number (which, it sounds like, they aren't), there should only be 6 pairs of eyes and 6 mouths. Interesting.: ...
June's body shook with silent sobs.
They slowed, as the minutes ticked by, and eventually they stopped.
*screen fades to black as the music also fades away*
*insert clock chiming*
Then suddenly, in the cold, heavy silence that had enveloped them like a think fog, a bell began to ring. The clock in the central hall.
7...8...9...10 times...
And then, on the 10th ring, it stopped. The sound of the bell faded away into silence.
: It's 10 o'clock, then.
Ace said what each one of them had been thinking.
: That means it's been an hour since Zero's little announcement.
Seven's deep voice echoed across the room.
Santa leapt to his feet, his fists clenched.
: How long are we gonna pussyfoot around like this?!
We've only got 8 hours until this time limit Zero was going on about is up!
Let's get goin' already! Go! Go!
Santa's outburst fell on deaf ears. No one seemed to agree with him.
They stared back at him, their eyes blank and their faces tired.
Finally, Lotus spoke.
: ...Him? You mean the 9th Man?
: Of course. Who else?
In his mind's eye, Junpei saw the corpse again.
*screen fades to black*
Okay, I'm going to spoiler the next bit because it contains a graphic description of the body of the 9th Man. Reading this will most likely make you feel queasy, so I do not recommend reading it if you have a weak stomach (like me :P), or if you've just eaten.
Note, you're not losing much if you do skip it:- Spoiler:
- The dark, reddish-black pool of blood...
The scattered pieces of flesh...
Organs strewn across the floor like the blossoming of a grotesque flower...
The explosion that had torn through his body had been powerful.
The 9th Man's neck had been twisted at an odd angle.
Junpei suspected the detonation had thrown him against the wall.
Half of his face was crushed, and the other half was covered in blood.
Most of his abdomen had been emptied, either by the explosion, or by gravity.
He had landed on his back, and stark white ribs jutted up out of his chest, like the legs of some sort of macabre crab.
Junpei felt something flip in his stomach.
Eyebrows went up, and Santa continued.
: He probably set off some sorta trap, and that killed him.
I'm not gonna screw up like that! I'm gettin' outta here alive!
: Hehe...hehe... Ahahahahahahaha!
Whatever Snake was laughing at, Santa did not find particularly humorous.: What's so goddamn funny!?: Oh, my apologies... You were just... So very confident! I couldn't help myself.: What the fuck!?: I think you've mistaken the situation.: Huh?: The 9th Man's death. It had nothing to do with a trap. Or at least not the sort of trap you imagine it did.: Then...?: He broke one of Zero's rules. That was why he died. Quite Simple if you think about it.: ...?
: You still don't...? All right. How about you take a moment, and think back to what Zero said.
Specifically, what did he say about the number of people?
: He said "Only [3-5] people can pass through one numbered door." ...Right?: And after that...? You've forgotten the relevant part.
What did Zero say?
That seems like a pretty relevant part to me...: ...?
Santa furrowed his brow in thought.
*screen fades to black*
Junpei thought back...
< < Zero said... > >
...that only 2 people can go through.
...that everyone who verified had to go.
...more than 6 people can go through.
This question only has one right answer, and if you paid attention, it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. I'm actually not sure what happens if you pick the wrong answer, but I imagine it'd just say something and make you pick again.
If you don't remember what the requirement is, it's the second option, so let's pick it.
: "All those who enter must leave, and all who enter must contribute." ...Right?
I think it was something like that...
Whatever it was, it means that groups of less than 3 or more than 5 can't go through.
: That is correct. A gold star for you, Junpei.
Snake inclined his head towards Junpei.: The 9th Man, however, broke that rule.
He tried to pass through a numbered door by himself.
That was why he was executed.
So, to sum it up, only 3 to 5 people can go through a number door, and everyone who contributes to opening the door must go through. The 9th Man should have had Clover and Ace go through the door with him, but since he didn't.......BOOM!!!
: Makin' sure we don't break any rules...: Oh, I'm not so sure of that.: Why not?: Because this execution system is entirely automatic. You didn't notice?
There's no need for him to monitor us.: Wadda you mean?
Snake looked at Seven with what could only be described as pity and sighed.: Very well. I see it must be me who tells you.
I've waited long enough, I suppose.
I had hoped Zero might spare me the trouble, but...
That seems increasingly unlikely.
He couldn't see them, of course, but perhaps Snake sensed the confused eyes upon him.
When Ace spoke, he gave words to everyone else's thoughts.
: Well, I know a great many things, but... Yes.: What is it you know?!: Here.
Snake removed a card from the pocked of his jacket.
With a flourish, he presented it to Ace, who took a close look at it and spoke.
: Come on, now. What's the point of giving me this?
Santa snached the card from Ace, but his expression of disgust quickly turned to one of confusion.
: Huh? The hell is this...
Seven tugged it out of Santa's hands.
The card went from Seven to Lotus, from Lotus to June, and finally to Junpei.
*screen goes dark*
He looked at it, and understood.
: This is braille.
Braille. The written language of the blind.
The card was covered with small, embossed bumps.
Junpei could recognize it, but he certainly couldn't read it.: Sorry guys, I can't read this.
Junpei handed the card back to Snake, who nodded at him with a small smirk.: Okay, that was fun. What's so important about that card?
: I found it in my pocket.
I can only assume it is a message from Zero.: F-From Zero?: A message?!
: W-What does it say?!
Suddenly, everyone was crowding around Snake, desperate to hear what the message said.
Santa especially looked as if he were about to grab hold of Snake and shake the answers from him.
Snake raised his hand.: Calm down now. No need to panic.
You don't need to force me, I'll read it.
Junpei swallowed hard and waited for him to start.
He was not the only one.
Presently, Snake began to read, his voice calm.
His fingers glided over the tiny bumps as he spoke.
999 Soundtrack: Digital Root (new soundtrack)
Another one of my favorite soundtracks.: "Bracelet number (2)..."
"Since you are not blessed with sight"
"I shall bless you--and only you--with information."
"I shall tell you of the function of the RED, of the DEAD, and of the bracelet."
The [RED] is the Recognition Device.
It will verify your number.
Beside every number door, you will find a RED.
The [DEAD] is the Deactivation Device.
It does exactly what it says.
Once you have passed through the number door, you must use the DEAD to stop the [detonator] in your bracelet.
But perhaps you are wondering... What does this detonator detonate? I am afraid this may be something of a surprise.
I have placed a [small bomb] inside of you, and the people whom you are about to meet.
You swallowed it while you were unconscious.
I have no doubt that by the time you read this note, the bomb will have passed your stomach and found its way to your small intestine.
In other words, you will be unable to regurgitate it. I suggest you do not try.
As I mentioned before, the bracelet on your left hand contains a detonator.
Think of it as a remote fuse, or [timer], for the bomb in your body.
There is only 1 condition which will cause it to detonate.
That condition is that you enter a numbered door.
Once you have done so, the timer will activate, no matter who you may be.
You will have [81 seconds].
If, after that time, the detonator has not been deactivated, it will send a signal to the bomb in your body, instructing it to explode.
In order to deactivate the detonator, [every person who verified their number at the RED] must also verify their numbers at the DEAD.
Once all numbers have been verified by the DEAD, you need only pull the lever at its side, and the countdown will cease.
Anyone who does not verify their number at the RED will find themselves unable to verify their number at the DEAD.
That is to say, if you should pass through a numbered door without first verifying your number at the RED, in 81 seconds you will be dead.
You must also keep in mind that the numbered doors will close automatically after [9 seconds] have passed.
So long as the door is open, the DEAD will not function. You would do well to remember this.
Lastly, let us discuss [how to remove the bracelets].
I think Truthseeker and Lief will especially be interested in this part.
There are only 2 ways to do so.
One: You escape from this ship.
Two: Your heart rate reaches Zero.
And as demonstrated by Truthseeker, option 3 is to cut off your arm.
In other words, once the bracelet is taken outside the confines of the ship, or detects that its wearer's heartbeat has fallen to zero, it will shut down automatically.
I just had a thought, I wonder if it would be possible to trick it into thinking your heart stopped, like, maybe cutting off the circulation in your arm long enough to trick it into thinking you have no pulse? Hmmm....
There is no other way to remove your bracelet.
Well, we've kind of proven that wrong now.
If you attempt to force it off, or disable the detonator, the bomb within you will immediately explode.
So, Zero just lied earlier when he said that there was only one condition for the bomb to detonate...
: "How you choose to use it is for you to decide."
"If used wisely, you can eliminate those who might be a danger to you. For a time, you would be able to control your fate."
"I wish you the best of luck."
*music fades out*
Snake finished reading, and carefully returned the card to his pocket.
The message had been lengthy, but its meaning was clear.
[Only those who verified their numbers at the RED could pass through the numbered doors].
Teams could not increase or decrease their numbers.
The [REDs], [DEADs], and [bracelets] enforced the rules. They were judge, jury, and executioner.
In defiance of Zero's suggestions, bot Santa and Seven put fingers down their throats and began to gag.
The rest stiffened. Some touched their stomachs--some simply stared at their bracelets.
Junpei gingerly touched his stomach.
There was a bomb inside his body. The thought of it made him queasy.
His stomach felt oddly hollow, and his legs were weak.
Why had Zero designed such a ludicrous game?
Junpei looked over at the others.: All right, I'm gonna ask one more time.
Do any of you know anything about Zero?
They were all silent, each person waiting to hear what the others would say.
Finally, Santa spoke.
: Actually, I...I saw him. I saw Zero when I got grabbed.
I didn't see his face, though...
Son of a bitch was wearing some kinda gas mask.
...
: ...What the hell? C'mon guys, gimme something...
You know, like...surprise or something.
Instead, it was Santa who looked surprised.
There was a moment of silence, and then everyone spoke at once.
"Yeah, I saw him too!" "Me too!" "He was wearing a gas mask..."
As stories were sorted out, the truth became clear:
All of their stories were the same.
They had been abducted at home, at midnight.
The person claiming to be Zero had worn a mask.
There had been white smoke, and then each person had passed out.
When they awoke, they had found themselves on D Deck, in a room with a 3-level bunk bed.
Only Seven's story seemed to lack the detail of the others.
: Oh... Me...?
Yeah, well, mine was just like the rest'a yours...
That was all he had said.
It had occurred to Junpei at the time that it sounded somewhat strange, but he didn't press the issue.
He hadn't done so, because there was something that struck him as even stranger.
*screen fades to black*
That was the mystery of the relationship between Snake and Clover.
For some reason, they had been abducted from the same room, and woken up in the same room.
Junpei looked at them, thoughtfully.: So what's the deal with the 2 of you, anyway?
It was Clover that answered.
Clearly, she felt she had nothing to hide.
: We're siblings.: Siblings!?: Uh...yes?
Snake is my older brother, obviously. That means I'm his little sister.
That really so hard to understand?
Junpei was taken aback.
The others seemed just as surprised.: She is correct, of course.
He laid his hand on Clover's shoulder.: Are you...surprised?: Well, yeah, but...: Why? There are other people here with connections to one another.
Those 2, for instance...
Snake pointed at Junpei and June.
: Ah, yes. You did say you were childhood friends, didn't you.: You went to school together?
: Y-Yeah...
June glanced at Junpei, uncomfortable with the sudden attention.
Junpei felt somewhat nervous as well, and tried to scratch his head as casually as possible.
: You connect the dots between the victims, and that leads you to the perp. Textbook stuff.
: Ring a bell...: Ring a bell...?
They looked at one another.
And like it was staged, they both tilted their neck at the same time.
: Well, perhaps you went to school with the son of a multi-millionaire...: A millionaire...?: Son...?: Well, someone bought this boat, and set up all of...this.
Whoever Zero is, they must be incredibly rich.
: To me, this seems as though it's the work of an organization, not an individual.
Zero is most likely simply the representative of a larger group.: What sort of organization?: It could be a number of things. An army, perhaps, or a research group.
Perhaps this is all some sort of psychological experiment.
: I mean, c'mon! A guy's dead!
*insert dramatic flashback-like moment*
The word "dead" hung in the air, heavy and ominous.
The room went quiet again.
: I dunno who the hell this Zero asshole is, but I know for sure he's gotta be pretty fucked up in the head to do all this.
If this was all 1 guy, then he's got some serious issues.
*screen fades to black*
Even with the spectre of death hanging over them, their discussions continued for some time.
In the end, however, they learned nothing.
By the time they finished, 1.5 of their 9 hours were gone.
All they had to show for it was impatience.
999 Soundtrack: Extreme Extrication: Man... Look we only got 7.5 hours left, okay?
You really sure you want to just sit around?
No one was willing to argue this time.
: Sure not gonna be fun running around knowin' we gotta jump when Zero says "Jump".
: Correct. And so long as we follow the rules, we should...ah...we will most likely be all right.
: But...what?: Who's going to go in which door?
June looked toward the numbered doors.
: Oh yeah... That's right. We can't have any more than 5 people in one door.
All 8 of us can't go in the same door...
Lotus looked terrified.
: I'm telling you now, there is no way in hell that I'm going into door [5]!: Come now, don't be selfish--: Call me whatever the hell you want, I'm not going in there!
If I'm going to have to walk through all that blood, then I'd rather stay here!: *Sigh* And we were doing so well...
Ace shook his head sadly.
: Oh, Santa not you too...
: Hey man, I just bought these shoes.
If you think I'm getting some creepy dude's blood all over 'em, you got another think comin'.
That was the last straw.: What the hell, man?!
Weren't you the one who kept saying we should get going!?: Yeah? So?
Doesn't mean I wanted to go into door [5].
Gotta admit that I'd be with Santa on this one.... Yeah, I'd want to get moving, but not through a path of blood and guts....: Oh God...
There was an awkward silence.
Finally Seven spoke.
: I can't go in there alone, though.
Anyone else willing to come with me?
There was another long silence.
This time Snake was the one to break it.
: Don't worry. You'll be fine.
We may part now, but I'm certain we'll meet again later.
: How do you know that?!: Because I do.
: That's not an answer!
If you're going, I'm going too! I'm going into door [5]!: What am I going to do with you...
Ace stepped forward.: If I join you, the problem is solved, correct?
Seven is (7) and Snake is (2).
And if you add Clover's (4) and my (1), the digital root will be [5].
7 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 14 --> 1 + 4 = [5]
Clover then literally jumps for joy.
: Oh! It works perfectly!
The 4 of us can go into door [5]--
: What about the other 4? What's their digital root gonna be?
Junpei did a quick mental calculation.
*screen fades to black*
Lotus, Santa, June, and Junpei remained.
Their bracelet numbers were (8), (3), (6), and (5).
< < (8365) ...What would their digital root be? > >
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
Again, only one right answer for this one:
8 + 3 + 6 + 5 = 22 --> 2 + 2 = 4
He repeated what he'd determined.: It's [4].
Add up our bracelet numbers, and the digital root is [4].
Junpei ran over the team assignments in his head once more time.
4 People would go into door [5]:
Seven, Snake, Clover, and Ace.
4 people would go into door [4]:
Lotus, Santa, June, and Junpei.
*screen fades to black once more*
Junpei had to ask himself if the teams were what he really wanted.
Beyond door [5] was what remained of the 9th Man.
He never wanted to see that...thing again, but... Something in him said it would be unwise not to examine the corpse even a little closer.
Of course, if he went through door [5], he wouldn't be going with Lotus and Santa.
True, it would be possible for him to bring June with him through door [5], but that would mean she would have to see the horrific carnage that waited there. Junpei didn't want that.
Junpei was torn.
Should he stay silent, and go through door [4]?
Or should he stop them all, and insist on door [5]?
A he turned his options over and over in his mind Ace spoke up.
: All right then...
It seems we've reached a conclusion. Shall we go?
He began to walk towards door [5]...
Clover and Snake followed, with Seven a short distance behind.
Junpei...
< < Which door do you want to go through? > >
...decided that door [4] would be fine.
...decided that it had to be door [5].
And here we are! The first major decision of the game! So, will Junpei just go along with what's been said, or will he say "Screw the rules! I'm picking door 5!" You'll have to find out next time!
Now, I'm cutting it off here for two main reasons. One, this update is gigantic at the moment and needs to stop eventually. :P
The other reason is that I'm going to throw this out again: Do you guys want to see what the perfect ending is, or do you want to pick the path? If you want the perfect ending, let me know. If you want to pick the path, let me know what door to pick.
But anyway, as I said, I'll end this update here. Again, I apologize for the lack of updates lately...
So, until next time (which, hopefully, won't be another month away ), see ya!

*waves my arm-stump around*
I think it means that you can't, in any way, remove the bracelet while you're on the ship. Doing so would result in you asploding.

Now that I now know more about more about the bracelets, I now have doubts that my idea will be as effective as previously imagined.
As for what we should be do, I don't really care much about the end result, just the journey. Personally I would go through door 4.

Note, if any words in this update seem very odd and out of place, blame Cap and/or Truthseeker and the autocorrect system.....
- Part 9:
- Last time, we had a big choice to make. Truthseeker suggested to choose the path, so we'll be going through Door 4:
Junpei decided that door [4] would be fine.
999 Soundtrack: Extreme Extrication
He would go through door [4] with Lotus, Santa, and June.
Why had Junpei even considered doing otherwise?
He would be there for June.... For Akane Kurashiki.
That seemed good. He felt it was the right choice to make.
He made no shows of affection, but Junpei saw her as something more than just a friend from his childhood.- Spoiler:
He watched the other 4 walk towards their door...
Ace, Snake, Clover, and Seven...
Junpei said nothing as they left.
*screen fades to black*
Before long, they had reached door [5].
They talked to one another for a few seconds, saying things Junpei couldn't hear, and then laid their hands, one by one, on the scanner panel of the RED.
Ace grabbed the lever.
His face tight with determination, he turned over his shoulder to look at Junpei and his companions.: Goodbye.: ...Be careful.
As Ace pulled the lever, the door swung open; the mouth of a great, hungry beast.
Beyond the door, Junpei knew, lay the sad remains of the [9th Man]... It did not surprise him that Ace, Clover, and Seven hesitated. The body was not a pleasant thing.
Snake, had no such problems, as his blindness made him immune to the horror. He stepped through the door, his feet making a wet "splack" in the pool of blood.
: Do you intend to kill me?
I assume you haven't forgotten the door only remains open for 9 seconds, have you?
Snake had not even bothered to turn around, but the other 3 steeled themselves, and stepped through the door.
*insert door closing animation*
Door [5] swung shut, closing with the heavy finality of metal upon metal.
Junpei and his companions scrambled to the door.
They pressed their ears to it, in an attempt to hear what might be taking place on the other side.
*insert beeping sound*: It's beeping...: It's just like before...: Probably the sound of the detonator on the bracelet...: Do you think they're...okay?
June's face showed her concern more plainly than her words ever could.
Almost as though in response to her question, a voice rang out from the other side of the door.
It was Seven.
: Hey! There it is!
That's gotta be the DEAD thing!
Come on! Get over here! We gotta authenticate!
*insert 4 beeps, a clunk, and a bleep*
The beeping stopped.
The sighs of relief were audible even through the heavy door.: Phew... Looks like it stopped.
Junpei and his companions leaned away from the door, and breathed a collective sigh of relief of their own.: Hey, guys! Are you doing all right over there?!
They'd heard Seven's voice, but it wouldn't hurt to be sure.
: Yup! We're fine!
Despite the recent danger, Clover's voice was as bubbly as ever.: Oh, hey, I'm gonna tell you about this whole DEAD thing, okay?!
The DEAD is just like the RED, but the color's different.
: Other than that, it's just like the RED. Authenticating is the same too!
: Awesome! Thanks! That helps a lot.
: Well, we should probably move on now.
You be careful out there.: Roger that.
*music fades out*
Junpei and the others left door [5] and headed towards door [4].
They stood in front of the RED and placed each of their hands upon it.
4 asterisks appeared on the screen.
Junpei grabbed the lever and turned around.: You guys ready...?: Yeah...: Sure...
: Let's go...
None of them looked particularly optimistic, but their faces were set.
Junpei nodded to them, and turned back toward the RED.: All right, let's go!
With strength and determination, he pulled the lever.
When I read that last line, I'm reminded of this scene:- Spoiler:
Moving on: *lever get's pulled*
999 Soundtrack: Unary Game: Run!
The 4 of them leapt through the door together.
*insert beeping sound*
The moment they had passed through it, each heard a cold, electronic sound coming from their left wrist.
In the center of each bracelet, a red skull appeared, and began to flash.
The detonator's countdown had begun!
In the long moment that each of them spent staring at their wrists...
...The numbered door behind them closed, the sound of metal on metal reverberating down the hallway.
There was no way back now.
They were committed. If they couldn't find the device to deactivate their detonators...
: Don't gimme that crap! Start looking!: I already am!
They began to run, eyes looking frantically for the device that was the key to their salvation.
The hallway they found themselves running down was a long one--easily 300 feet in length.
On the right side of it stood a series of wooden doors, all nearly identical.
If they had taken time to think, they would likely have discerned that the doors lead to cabins.
: Don't tell me the DEAD is in one of those rooms...: Oh no! How many rooms do you think there are?!
Junpei was too frightened to count properly, but at his best guess there were 7 or 8 of them.: Ahhhh fuck!
There wasn't time to count them to be sure.
Junpei ran to the nearest door.
He grabbed the knob and shook it, hard.
*insert shaking and rattling noises*
It wouldn't open.
It didn't feel locked... More like someone had hammered an iron plate over the other side of the door.
Junpei turned around to find another door, and saw that his companions had already run to doors of their own. They did not seem to be having any more success than he had.
Their own words confirmed his fears.: Shit! This one's no good.: Same here!: It's not moving!
June was the last to speak up.
As Junpei looked in her direction, his eye caught something he hadn't noticed before...
*screen fades to black*
A small, red light.
It flashed at him, dimly, from the end of the hallway.: That's it! Over there!
Even as he yelled, he ran.
He grabbed Santa, Lotus, and June, and pulled them towards the light.
Santa called out to them as he ran.: Hey! How many more seconds do we have!?: How would I know!?
: Our time limit is 81 seconds!: I know that, goddamnit!
I'm askin' you how many seconds we have left!
In all likelihood, Junpei figured, nearly a minute had already passed, since the door had closed behind them.
If that was true...
Urgency foremost in all of their minds, they arrived at the end of the hallway.
The DEAD sat on the left wall, blinking almost tauntingly at them.: Hurry!
Junpei grabbed hold of the machine, his hands slick with sweat, and shaking.
He slammed his hand against the scanner panel.
The other 3 quickly followed suit.
With a grunt, Santa yanked the lever downward.
*music and screen fade*: *Pant* *Pant* *Pant*: *Pant*... *Pant*... *Pant*...: *Pant*... *Pant*... *Pant*...: Phew... Looks like it's stopped.
His hands beginning to steady, Junpei wiped away some of the sweat that had beaded on his forehead.
As they caught their breath, the 4 companions began to look around.
At the end of the hallway lay a heavy-looking set of double doors.
Set into the walls of the hallway on either side of the larger door were 2 smaller ones.
They all needed inspecting, but Junpei began with the largest of the 3--the double-doors.
*insert rattling sound*
How many times had he come across similar doors, with similar results, he wondered.
Or perhaps, he corrected himself, more a lack of results...
Whatever the reason, the door remained firm and unyielding, and refused to allow Junpei, or anyone else, passage.
Near the handle was a small keyhole.
Above the keyhole was a small symbol, engraved in the brass.: Male...?
He wasn't quite sure what to make of it. And stared at it for a moment in confusion.
It was June that corrected him.
: No, that's not the symbol for "male". That's probably the symbol of [Mars].
Well, technically, they are the same symbol...
But I saw a number of similar symbols near the main stairway.
The symbols of the solar system...
The Sun...
Saturn...
The Earth...
: So this isn't the man symbol, it's a symbol for [Mars]?: I think so, yes.
While Junpei and June talked, Santa had disappeared.
They turned to find him some distance down the hallway--he had gone to check the other doors.
Eventually he reached the last of them and jogged back.
It took him only a moment to catch his breath again.: Here's the deal. None of the other doors open.: Then that must mean...
Lotus examined the doors on either side of the larger double-door.
Each one had a metal plate attached to it.
Junpei figured they were probably room numbers.
The door on the left read [B92].
And the door on the right proclaimed that it lead to [B93].: All right. Let's open 'em.: Yeah.
Junpei put his hand of the door knob for the door that said [Room 92].
Santa moved to the door to [Room 93].
They'd made it through the numbered door alive.
There was nothing more to be afraid of.
Except for this:- Spoiler:
KITTYPOCALYPSE!!!
Junpei and Santa looked at each other and nodded.: 1...2...3!
In unison, they pushed against their respective doors.
*insert a door opening sound and the screen fading to black*
...And promptly found themselves in a new room.
June followed Junpei as he threw open his door.
They turned around, and saw that the door on the other side was open as well.
Through the door was another person, his mouth agape.
It was Santa.: Hey...uh... It opened.: Yeah... It did...
Junpei and Santa looked at each other.
They had not expected the doors to yield so easily.
Lotus's calm voice broke into their thoughts.: Maybe this is all part of Zero's plan?
I can't say I enjoy being treated like someone's puppet.
As she headed for Room 93, Lotus continued.: Well, now we have these 2 rooms. I'm sure there's something in there that will help us get out of here.
Let's find it.
Santa and I will search this room.
Junpei and June, search the other one.: All right.
: Okay!
Aaaaaaaaaand that'll do it for this update! Next time, it's back to the seeking and finding!
So until next time, see ya!

- part 10:
- Last time, we needed to "seek a way out." Let's do that now:
999 Soundtrack: Binary Game (new soundtrack)
There's actually 2 ways to do this room: A long way (which is the normal way), and a short way (which is good for when you're trying to speed through the game). I'll be doing the long way so that you guys can see how things go, then I'll explain the short way when I come to it.
First things first, we need to check out this room. And a good place to start is that painting on the wall:
: Do you think it's an abstract painting or something?
It looks kind of like...a demon...with an elephant-like nose...
...Sucking on a human being's brain...
Where the hell did that come from?
What's her brain made of...
Can't say I'd mind finding out a little more about what goes on in there...
.....Yeah, that was awkward, but the reason I'm showing you this painting is that it will come into play later, but for now, let's move on.
Next to the painting is a room:
A bathroom to be precise. We'll get back to it later.
Here's the main part of the room. On the table is the main thing we need right now:
: It's a box of matches. There are matches inside, obviously.
After picking up the matches, the music fades and a cut scene starts.
Junpei looked down blankly at what he was holding, then up at June.: Oh, yeah... How's your fever? You feeling better now?: Yes. I'm feeling fine.
June certainly looked fine.
Junpei held his hand on her forehead for a few seconds...
It seemed her fever really had gone down.: Are you...worried about me?
999 Soundtrack: Imaginary (new soundtrack)
Yeah, I guess I am.
Hey, c'mon, it's not like that.
Small decision to make here, but since I ship these two so hard, I'm picking the shippy shippy answer....
: Yeah, I guess I am.
: *Giggle*
June blushed and giggled.: By the way...Jumpy...?: Hm?: How did you end up here?: What do you mean? I told you earlier, didn't I?
: There was a man with a gas mask when you got home at night.
You inhaled some white smoke and passed out.
When you woke up, you were on D Deck...
: But is that really the truth?: ...What?!: Jumpy, are you hiding something from me?: No! Why would I!?: Well, if you think about it, this is awfully suspicious.
I mean, why would 2 childhood friends bump into each other in a place like this...?: Hey, I could ask you the same thing!
Are you hiding something?: What would I hide...?: Well, I dunno. Anything. I mean, you're hiding it. How would I know?
Okay you two, stop this now, kiss, and make up.
By the way, you may be wondering why this is happening after I chose the shippy shippy answer, but this is what happens after either answer you pick, it's just that the difference is that you don't have the cute little "I'm worried about you" moment if you pick the other answer... I don't think....
Maybe I'd better double check....: You mean, like...the number of men I've dated?
Junpei's heart stumbled over itself.
Oh wait, I forgot about this part.: Do you want to know?
He had to admit, he was a little curious.: Don't worry.
She smiled at him.: Only 18...
!?: ...Times 0.
Yeah... I guess I just haven't met Mr. Right yet.
June looked a little embarrassed, and scratched the back of her head in a desperate attempt to seem nonchalant.
Junpei coughed quietly in much the same way.: Anyway, I'm not hiding anything.
Just like you, Jumpy.
When I woke up, I was on D Deck...: Well, you do have a point.
I mean, why did Zero pick us? We haven't seen each other since elementary school.
June nodded, and for a few moments she had the faraway look of someone in deep thought.
: "Look for what connects the victims. That will lead you to the culprit."
Do you remember Seven saying something like that?: Yeah, I do. So?: Well, that's what I'm saying.
I think this must all have something to do with a classmate of ours...: You got any ideas who it might be?: No, nothing...: Oh...: Well, if it had something to do with school, then it could be one of our teachers, or maybe the principal...: Or the janitor or the lunch lady?: No... I can barely remember any of them...: Yeah, I know...
...
...
*music and screen fade*
Junpei went back to searching feeling unpleasant and confused.
Elementary school... Elementary school...
Was there anything strange that had happened in elementary school?
As he searched the room, he continued to wrack his brain.
999 Soundtrack: Binary Game
Oh, and I did double check what happens when you pick the other answer, and it's actually slightly shippy as well, in a "It's not like that!" *blush* like moment.
I still like the other answer. Anyway moving on, the last thing we need to check in here for now is through that door:
There's only one important thing to check out story-wise, but the other places to check out that I have circled lead to some very interesting conversations.... Let's start with that bottle on the cupboard:: It's a bottle with water in it.
This is a bedroom...
They probably have it here 'cause your throat always feels dry when you wake up, you know?: My throat's dry, but I think that's 'cause I'm a little nervous right now.: Well, we did run a lot, so we're kinda sweaty.
Hey Jumpy, did you want to take a shower together?
: Whoa!
: *Giggle* Just kidding.
Too late to take it back... My brain's already working out the picture.
My throat was dry already... This sure isn't helping.
So yeah... This is a thing in this game. Once in a while, you will have a very naughty moment between these two like that. I can't remember how many there are exactly, but I know there's definitely a few more and I'll try to post them, but some are just random and in things you wouldn't think to check (like that water bottle), so I may miss a few since I'm mainly doing the most important parts of these puzzle solving moments (I nearly missed that moment, but randomly checked that water bottle and came across that ).
If you guys do consider buying this game, I highly recommend checking everything you can when you're in the puzzle solving portion of the game, even if June isn't in the room. A lot of the stuff you do check won't have much with it, but a lot of times, there will be a moment, a moment, or with June or Junpei, a 
moment.
Speaking of , let's check the bed:
Specifically, those pillows:: Look, there's 2 pillows right next to each other.
Guess it's a double...
Oh man... Is her fever back?: Hey, are you all right?
Do you need to lay down for a minute?: I-I'm fine!
Junpei, you clever but naughty boy!: I think it's still a little early for that...: Huh...?
Hey, seriously...are you really okay?
Oh, you were being serious....
Okay, that was slightly tame compared to the last one, but, like I said, there's a few more moments like this later on, including one moment that's my absolute favorite moment of the game!
Anyway, now to check that painting on the wall:: This isn't a painting. Is it a...map?
Oh, well excuse me. :P: It looks like a map of the ship's interior.: Oh! This is a great find!
I think it'll be really useful... Let's take it with us!
To be honest, I think I've skipped checking that a few times in my playthroughs, so I missed getting a map and the following cutscene, but I rarely use a map in this game anyway and when I'm speeding through the game, skipping cutscenes saves time, so not a big loss. Anyway, here is that cutscene:
*screen and music fade*
Junpei took one last look at the map, then folded it up and slid it back into his pocket.
*insert folding sound*
June looked up as he closed it.: This ship is bigger than I thought.: Yeah, it's probably about 900 feet long.: Must be one of those fancy cruise ships.: Course, it doesn't really look like a cruise ship.
Everything in here is really retro. Even if it's some sorta style choice, there's just too much.: Do you remember what Zero said?
: On April 14th, 1912...the famous ocean liner Titanic crashed into an iceberg.
After remaining afloat for 2 hours and 40 minutes, it sank beneath the waters of the North Atlantic.
: Do you think maybe this boat and the Titanic have something to do with each other?: Hmmm... That's a good point.
I doubt he would've mentioned it if there wasn't a reason...
Junpei took a moment to look around the room.: Do you think this boat is...
A replica of the Titanic?
The actual Titanic?
Interesting choice to make here. Whatever choice you make, it doesn't change the game much, just what's said here.
I'm just going to say a replica since it's impossible for this to be the actual Titanic.....right?
: A replica of the Titanic?: A replica...?: Yeah. You know, like a copy of the actual boat.: Who on Earth would make something like that?: Fans. Crazy Titanic fans.: No way! Do you even know how much money that would take?: No idea.
But all they've gotta do is break even, you know?: Break even...?: Yeah. They could use it as a cruise ship.
"Climb aboard a piece of history! Sail 'round the world in the resurrected Titanic!"
Hell, with marketing like that, they'd probably have more customers than they'd know what to do with.: Do you really think people would want to ride on a ship with such an ominous past?
It's the site of the worst accident in history...
Over 1500 people died... I wouldn't be surprised if you'd get cursed just for going.: A curse, huh...: Jumpy, do you believe in that sort of thing? You know...curses and stuff?
I do.
No, they're a load of crap. at the second choice.
Again, just a minor change in dialogue here, so.......yeah, sure, why not?: Yeah, well, I guess so. To a certain extent.
Junpei scratched his temple.: What about you...?
Nah, I guess that's kind of a dumb question.: Yes, I do believe in curses.
In fact, I think it was a curse that sunk the Titanic.: What?: A curse sank the Titanic.
The curse of the Egyptian mummy.
Junpei couldn't understand how June had maintained a straight face to say that.: Supposedly the Titanic carried the mummy of the Priestess Amon-Ra...
...Which was stolen from a pyramid.
999 Soundtrack: Riddle and Puzzle (new soundtrack): Everyone involved with it died mysterious deaths...
Come on, I'm sure you've heard of it before...
"Those who open the coffin will be forever cursed"... Haven't you ever heard that one?
: That's right!
June's eyes had lit up with excitement, like a child with a new toy.
Then her sprite changes to a more concerned look, which seems a bit out of place after just mentioning her being all excited and stuff, but I'm just putting the sprites as they appear in the game, or based off of the conversation if the character is off screen. So yeah, if there's ever a moment when one of the sprites seem out of place for the topic, it's either the game or my bad judgment of the situation.
...Or the fact that there's not a great sprite for the situation.: That mummy, the priestess...
Supposedly, she was...special.
Actually, this bit does fit a concerned look... *shrug* Oh well, moving on.: ...What do you mean?: Well, supposedly, she was really pretty.: Pretty?: Yes.: But...she was a mummy.: That's right.
She wasn't all shriveled up or rotten or anything.
She looked just like she was alive.: Ohhh. I get it. It's that thing... I don't remember the name... Where your body turns into some kind of wax?
If a dead body is put in the right sort of environment...
The fat in it turns into something kinda like candle wax, right? And--
Never heard of that, but it sounds disgusting... :P: Yes, saponification. But that's not what it was.: Huh?: That's not it. She wasn't wax.: Then what is it?: They say...that she was frozen.: What...? Frozen?: That's right. The whole body was frozen solid...
You know how a human body is more than 60 percent water?
Well, all of that water was frozen.
The story says that from the time of its discovery, all the way through to when it got put on the Titanic...
And even though it was carried through the desert...
...Her body never melted.
*screen and music fade*
June and Junpei talked a little more, and then went back to their investigation.
But even as they did, his mind went back to what she'd told him.
Ice that wouldn't melt, even in the desert... Could such a ting really exist?
No, even if it did, it wouldn't really be "ice" anymore, would it?
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
Like he'd eaten his ice cram too fast...
Okay, I was planning on going all the way through until we found the way out, but this is getting long, and I really want to get this update out today, so I'll end it here.
Next time, the search for a way out continues! Until then, see ya!
