Telling the truth finally pays! FOOD! Lucky VI.
Why did he called him Six? He must know something. Makes me think he could be Five or Seven or Four or… you get it.
Also, what is Whitechapel Project? Might lead to answers about VI’s powers. But might just not. Let’s see in two weeks.
Ho… and this is one of the best yet. Great job Eddy!

Interesting theories!

OK, so Mr.Rich is involved then. Figures, why else would he pick up ‘Dr. Tucci’ from the WCP location. Now he seems friendly to VI. Not overly excited to see him, which is an interesting distinction. Is he a warden-like figure? Or maybe Tucci was selling some info to outside/parties?
Some of these might help clearify Mr.Rich´s position as well, which is a big bonus at this point. VI´s first order of business is to get to know himself, so I´ll pick ´Why did you call me Six´. The awnser to this question might make the ´What do you know about the WCP´ question redundant, so I won´t pick that question. Same for ´What do you know about my powers?´. Come to think of it, `If you know me, why don´t you trust me´ is linked to this as well.
So by asking two question, VI can learn so much about both himself and his current companion. First, ask him why he called him VI. If the answer is satisfactory, move on to ´why were you meeting with Dr. Tucci´, to help clearify his position with regards to the WCP. If he´s not forthcoming enough, the other WCP-related questions can be needed. But for now, I´ll stick to the ´Dr.Tucci´ and the ´Why Six´ questions.
Great work again Eddy, keep it up!

I’m glad you’re hooked! :)

And I don’t know if anything bad will happen to the dog. I guess we’ll see!

Oh crap. Now you’ve killed the world. THE WHOLE WORLD.

That was very hard to choose! I went with Why did you call me Six and What do you know about my powers. He needs info about himself before he can tackle the problem of the folks who undoubtedly want him for those powers. Plus, maybe it will jog his memory.

Another excellent episode. I didn’t want it to end! I kind of hate this format and love it too. I hate it because I just want to see the story continue, but when you gave us two options instead on one this time, I nearly did a little happy dance! Keep up the good work!

Oh, please don’t do anything bad to the dog. Please?

Holy crap, I picked the same two options as Rob! Global implosion in 5… 4… 3… 2…

Honestly, those were the two questions I figured VI would probably get the most mileage out of since I’m thinking Rich would probably stay more tight-lipped about the other topics. This is getting VERY interesting. Very cool!

Thanks for the breakdown as always, Rob. :)

Corrected that, as well as a weird font error and a dangling clause. Such is the nature of fast writing. :(

Oh man. Can’t I just vote for all of the options? Haha. Seriously, I want all those questions to be answered but since I only got two I played ball. Before I move on to my point-by-point break down I just wanna say how happy I am to see Mr. Rich being someone who’s sort of helping VI. That was pretty much what I wanted when I voted for him to get into the car… and now I’m happy my vote last week didn’t come true. Weird how things work out. Anyway, on to my analysis.

“If you know me, why don’t you trust me?”: This was one of the two I picked. I think I already know the answer, Mr. Rich knows about VI’s powers.. at least something about them, and that would be the most likely reason. Still, this question seems the most In Character at the time. The natural question.

“What do you know about my powers?”: This was the other one I picked. Mr. Rich made a couple comments about VI’s powers or allusions to knowing about them. I figured it was the best bet to get some real information about our main character.

“Why were you meeting with Dr. Tucci?”: I’m curious about this, but it didn’t seem to give me answers about VI. I mean, yeah, this guy doesn’t look like a Tuccite. There could be a million reasons though and it didn’t seem like a direct path to real answers about VI.

“Why did you call me Six?”: Man, I was curious about this. Up until now he’s called himself Six because he didn’t know what else to call himself but now someone could answer. We could find out what exactly VI means. Still, its a small question in a bigger puzzle.

“What do you know about the Whitechapel Project?”: I already knew the answer so why should I ask the question? “The Whitechapel Project” is an interactive horror novella blog and podcast. Hahaha. Ok, seriously. I was curious about this too (like I said, I wanted to vote for all of them) but its mostly because of the lack of information we have about the Project up to now. I was considering this vote over the questions about his powers because this one could indirectly lead to that question anyway… still, I felt the direct route better.

“What happened to Dr. Tucci?”: I don’t have much faith in Mr. Rich to be able to answer this is any satisfactory manner. I mean, VI used his powers and now Tucci is dead… Its a question I want answered but I just don’t feel like Mr. Rich is the guy to answer it. Plus, if we discover more about VI’s powers we could just piece this together on our own.

All in all, another fantastic episode Eddy. Keep it up.

Thought I caught all those. Thanks for pointing it out — I’ll try to revise later today.

Also, it seems the poll didn’t open correctly — it should be working now.

Poll didn’t open as it was programmed to, so I opened it manually.

Poll gives no place to click, no submit button. Sadness.

Much as I hate to nitpick, the tense shifts in a couple of places (notably the para beginning “Mister Rich laughed.”) and it’s a bit jarring.

As for questions, “Why did you call me Six?” allows plenty of room for expansion without straying into getting shot-down territory, as does “If you know me, why don’t you trust me?”

In general, VI finding out about himself is more important than finding out about what’s chasing him–and he might just get that information on the side as well.
