#the way it looks... the base is covered in garbage so it's possible dr. kels wouldn't notice

You know, there are these old archetypes of scary stories that would get retold & bent & morphed, mostly passed by word of mouth through internet boards, during early internet days. My brother, somebody who used such boards, would then tell them to me, somebody very young that didn't know what a computer was.
One such story was one about hotels/motels. It's a story of staying a night or two in such a place, & when you lay your head down, you notice a smell. Maybe you switch out your pillow, or try to wash up, or hunt down some waste that was maybe missed by housekeeping -- nothing fixes it, & the smell persists. Eventually, you figure out where it's coming from -- it's strongest when you're at the bed.
Different versions of the story will wither place the source underneath the bed, or from under the mattress. Either way, the smell is caused by a human corpse hidden in your bed, & you speant the night with it, entirely unaware. Maybe even laid directly over top of it.
Anyways. I just picked Voices of the Void back up, after not seeing it for many updates.
#em.txt#this story & the ending sentences are connected#& you can probably guess exactly how#but you don't know where it is or if it's just one or if there are any at all.#if you have access to it... i recommend loading a save off a previous version without reseting items & looking around the base#it isn't hard to find at least one.#i... can't go to that area without thinking about it.#looking up to see why it was there didn't help. because i know there's more now.#the way it looks... the base is covered in garbage so it's possible dr. kels wouldn't notice#but i am a bit more neat than the previous occupant & intend to clean.#when the garbage is gone & the smell persists & worsens do you think dr. kels is going to go looking for something in the walls?#because it's not just there. it's up. it's down. & it's right next to you.#& it's a fair bit bigger than a dead squirrel or possum.#anyways
