Anon's excellent adventures in Tartarus pt3

Wherein Unamazing introduces nothing new about Tartarus.

>You are Anonymous, a human marooned in Tartarus.
>You don't know how you got here, and you don't know how to get out.
>and staring you in the face is a dog who may have the answer to one of those questions.
Start talking.
>To his credit, he manages to maintain his composure. "Whattya wanna know?" he asks, in a casual manner.
>you take a moment to think. There was a lot of questions that needed answering.
First off: Why were you stalking me?
>He hesitates for a second, looking ready to make some sort of quip.
>however, he deigns against it.
>"Ya look like another one'a yer kind that captured down here."
>Huh. That explains what they were screaming when you rushed their asses like a madman.
There were other humans?
>"At least two. Maybe more, if da legends and rumors and shit are anythin' t' go bye."
>He fidgets.
>"Look, we don't die wiffout air in dis place, but breathin's still gonna make dis easier." he says. "So why don'tcha get offa me?"
And let you run away before telling me what I wanna know, or attack me again? Fat chance, Fido.
>"Dat's Fido." he retorts, pointing a finger to the third dog who had attacked you. "I'm Buddy."
>You roll your eyes, but nonetheless you ease up on the pressure a little.
Elaborate.
>"Well, his name's Remu--"
>You smack across the face, annoyed.
You know what I was talking about.
>"Sweet Father, none of ya crazy bastards can take a joke, can ya?"
>You're getting more and more rustled by this idiot.
Do I /look/ like I'm in a joking mood?
>"All right, all right. So yer not the first one t' come here, y'know dat, right?"
>areyoushittingme.png
/Yes/...
>"What're you gettin' yer tail inna twist about?"
>you punch him this time.
>"Ow! Dammit, all right!" he yelps.
/Talk./
>"Fine! Shit, you insane dicks're somethin' else..."
>before you can hit him again, he regains his composure and begins
>"We only know of two fer sure. Some say dere's three, others four, but whatever."
>So there were other humans in your situation after all...
>"The first one came here wif da Boss. 'E's da one who fucked up the Boss's plan to bring th' dog Father back to the land of the livin'."
>Good on him, then.
>"We had captured his sorry ass. Tortured him for probably a year. Then one day, he up 'n' escaped."
How?
>You figure you'd want to know. After all, you WERE stuck down here with these mutts. >Knowledge is power.
>"We dunno. some say he got out himself, others say another human came'n busted him out. All we know is that he's gone now."
>Interesting... He may still be out there.
And the other?
>"Dat guy... I'm glad 'e's gone."
>intredasting.png
And why is that?
>To your surprise, he visibly shudders.
>"He was... he was scary as shit. Huge bastard, probbly da height o' dat tree." he says, indicating the tree with a finger.
>you estimate it to be roughly eight or nine feet.
>dafuq
>"And he had dis tough as balls grey armor, and he kept screamin' somethin' bout de 'Emprah' or some shit... he went on a goddamn crusade against us."
>hold the shitting phone
>Did he just describe a fucking Spess Mehren?
>what_the_fuck_am_I_listening_to.png
>you raise an incredulous eyebrow at the dog.
What'd you do to deserve that, I wonder?
>"Well, we DID kinda kidnap dis broad who was apparently his friend. One of Discord's kids, I think. Dunno why he liked her so much."
And what happened?
>"Here's da part I'll never believe, even though I was there fer it."
Go on...
>"He pretty much stormed the Dog Father's base, took us all on, and damn near won. Ended probably a couple hundred dogs that day, at da least. Took on both the Father an' th' Boss, before freein' his bud and gettin' da fuck out."
And how'd he do this?
>He shrugs as best he can with you pinning him.
>"Opened a portal or some shit. I'unno. Got knocked out before it ended."
>So. The two previous encounters both escaped this "Dog Father"'s wrath. That explained why they were following you.
>"So, uh... dat gonna be all?"
No. How do I leave?
>"Die again. That'll be tough, tho. Tartarus don't let go'a its victims easy."
>Are_you_fucking_Kidding_me.jpg
Besides that?
>"You wanna try and get past Cerberus? Cuz if we knew another way, you think we'd still be in this shithole?"
>A fair point.
Figures.
>you rise, placing one foot on the Dog's chest.
Now all I need to do is figure out how to make sure I don't have to deal with you.
>"Gonna kill us again, aren't ya?" he grumbles.
>lolwut
No need to do that, you're already dead.
>"Oh. Well...ask nicely?" Buddy offers, with an innocent smile-- an attempt at one, at any rate.
>you laugh humorlessly.
In Tartarus? How stupid do you think I am?
>"Woulda worked on the first guy..."
Yeah, no. Good night.
>And with that, you swing your foot forward, and it connects with his chin, knocking him out.
>You then gaze around to find that, to your pleasant surprise, all of the dogs are still out cold.
>Bueno.
>I'mouttahere.gif
>Turning back to the forest, you begin a steady jog.
>Sounded like you'd be here a while, whether you liked it or not.
