The '00s 'minimal' layout
Title of entry
okay but what about these. can we talk about these? these probably don't actually mean anything... ...but i want these to mean something.
alls i got is that the last version could be referring to the judge and sugar in zone 0. perhaps fourth version refers to the guardians? minus sugar?? first, third, and fifth may relate to how elements are produced... i don't know _what _to say for second version.

yeah, “6 feet under” struck a chord with me as well, though i’m not sure what direction i want to go with it. if anything it can be pinned up with the whole ‘netherworld’ deal.
as far those versions go, i think they’re referring to some beings we never saw, one residing somewhere in the plastic seas exuding metal that cools and forms the land [or perhaps vice versa???], the insect producing meat atop the fountains, and the third an odd hivemind sort of being residing underground and releasing smoke.
that’s mostly due to my own fascination with mythological creatures though.
where does plastic come from, anyways? all the game says is “plastic administrations”.
second version messes me up because there’s not really anything in the game that comes in 8.
the inclusion of sugar in fourth version depends on chronology, i’d say. it would depend on when these were written, as well as when sugar was created, because she and her element weren’t around until after the time chapter 4 of The Room takes place in.
the Grand Brachial represents meat , which we know hugo is the guardian of, so i do think he ‘protected’ it originally. zacharie having his item could just be an alternate way of ‘keeping it hidden’, similar to having to scour the purified zones for the others, since none of the guardians actually hold their Grand items. their role of protection could have been more passive, with their mere existence not allowing the zone reach a state in which it reveals its Grand item.
or maybe zacharie is just an ass who steals things from babies idk
i’d like to think zone0 is what’s being referred to in last version; the judge seems to frequent that zone, and apparently is about the only one who can do so, given his surprise at seeing ‘another living being’. aside from that, i don’t think zacharie’s presence here is of much importance. he goes where business takes him, and has no reason to be in purified zones. his apparent history with sugar may be notable though. dunno. zach is such a weird character.
additionally, zone0 is the only one that cannot be truly purified. even after defeating sugar and getting her Grand item, the zone retains its color. it seems zone0 has no ‘true’ guardian keeping it alive like the other 3, so that’s something. perhaps it was never meant to contain living beings, perhaps it’s a haven of sorts, who knows. getting a bit off topic, maybe that’s why sugar resides there in the first place???
my own views of The Room overall are shaky, so i can’t debate a lot on that side. i do think batter would be included with the queen and hugo if it was talking about this.
…again, i guess it sorta depends on when these were written. :n
why doesn't anyone talk about the Secretaries?
can we please talk about the secretaries because i honestly don't know WHAT i think about them, beyond that they're obviously [nearly] the only thing that can exist in purified zones.
yeah so basically we don't talk about them because they're fucking disturbing.
but anyway. less about the secretaries and more on purified zones in general, Not Safe has the same whispers as the World Map[?].
a purified zone is, in a sense, just that. pure. there is nothing in the zone to 'contaminate' it, however, they're also unprotected, which allows... things... from the outside to leak in.
that would be these freaks. i guess i think they could be..hm... things not of hugo's creation? beings from outside the world of OFF, skewed through hugo's perception???
i dunno, the comments on the common enemies wiki page offer some interesting theories about them. >AND ALL THEIR COMPETENCE ARE MATH BASED TERMS
the markings i can't really make heads or tails of; i try not to read too deeply into symbolism that may not purposely exist..

but, that arrow is more clearly a...scoring line? [like when dividing up parts of beef] in the concept art here. also it has rings in its nipples?????
who even knows what the stupid 1's are for.
seriously what's going on here.
"love for everyone", what the hell.
