PRECINCT 41'S PRINTER AND COPY MACHINE - You stand next to the precincts printer, putting paper sheets on it as if you were giving hay to a horse, slowly, stalling to actually operate the frightening machine

1- how do you operate the machine?

2- can't someone else do it for you?

3- interfacing (challenging godly) use the machine.

4- fuck this, I'm not dealing with this shit .

LOGIC - To use this machine, you need to know what you need it for first. While you are using it to photocopy some case files, you can also use it to print documents from a radio computer.

You've already done the basic copying steps, as you've put sheets of white paper in it, now you need to put the files you want to copy on the scanner, facedown, and then press the button "photocopy" it will stop copying once 15 seconds happen after you take your last page and the scanner stops sensing any new pages being put on it.

YOU - I'm a lieutenant, I have other things i should be doing, can't i really not ask someone else to do this?

ESPRIT DE CORPS - You are well aware C wing is understaffed, and that all the officers are equally as busy as you.

EMPATHY - Or taking their well deserved break. Just do this yourself

INTERFACING (CHALLENGING GODLY)- check failed.

PRECINCT 41'S PRINTER AND COPY MACHINE - You press the "photocopy" button on the machine and begin putting on your pages, one after the other with the skill of someone who's purely relying on muscle memory.

Once you're done, you look at your copies, but there's... Something wrong

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) (SUCCESS) - Look! Over there, in that page. Some of the letters and words didn't print right.

YOU - What?! I didn't do anything wrong!

INTERFACING - that's true. The issue is the machine.

YOU - Whats wrong with it?

INLAND EMPIRE - Too many things to begin listing, this machine is like you, but...

YOU - But?

INLAND EMPIRE - But if i had to say one specific thing, is that this machine hates you. It wants you to go to hell. Not just you, but all mankind.

YOU - Great, now i also have to deal with a fucked up evil machine

HALF LIGHT - all of them are. Using them is always a fight

DRAMA - you're always at their mercy, sire, you can't ever do anything that will purposefully let you win.

YOU - okay but what do I do now?

LOGIC - You could try to print the case file again, or you could try filling in the empty spaces yourself with a pen

VISUAL CALCULUS (FAILURE) - you have no idea which one would be faster, as you cannot predict how many trials it would take to get a proper print out of the files.

INLAND EMPIRE - I wouldn't recommend attempting it again, this machine wants to see you burn.

YOU - you leave the evil machine by itself, already wondering where you left your pen... And thinking about investing in some carbon paper, if only to ensure that your encounters with that thing will remain minimum.

#my posts #disco elysium #for organization #its almost 3am i just wrote this on my phone #based on my relationship with my printer tbh #i really just thought 'my printer wants to see me in hell"#and i went 'oh hdb would think that bc of inland empire'#idek if i should tag it properly bc im almoat not posting it #bc i can barely see and idk if i made any sense and bc my perception (sight) is failing me currently bc of the time lmao #also i just hope i did the skills right but first km tired second ive only played thus game once #ok I'll post it just like this is fine enough maybe. this is just so i could get the idea out of my mind and sleep sltstm
