PMD Stalkers General Chat Thread (The Secret Clubhouse!)

[Neo Emolga]

Huzzah for victory! My one regret was not knowing what was behind the Disorder Door, besides the most general answer of 'more Eldritch Daemon Drugs.'

I honestly had an interesting idea for a sequal in the form of...Well, a Text adventure. But that one would be a long while from now. Like 'wow this is a really long time' long.

Thank you, Neo, for hosting. Stay classy, folks.

So, what was behind the Disorder Door? Welp, it's safe to spill the beans now!

That was all Vam's doing. What made Vam challenging is the fact that each component needed to unlock the Disorder Door was something very similar to what the other Stalkers were using, but still different. It was meant to be perplexing and confusing. "Hey, why is there a [Gray Flower Piece] when all we need are the white and black ones for Sammi's Cafe?" "And what about this creepy [Coin of Evisceration] that isn't needed for the {Judgment Basement Door}?" Every item that felt "leftover" still had a purpose. And that was the creepy {Disorder Door}. And that was why "NO, YOU'RE USELESS" was on the inscription. It was to mislead the players into thinking all of these weird, extra items were kind of phony when really, they weren't.

What poor Jeff got hit with upon swinging open the {Nondescript Iron Door} (which was made to look completely safe and harmless by the way) was a kicked up version of Vam's Non Enthraller-inspired "NOT SO SWEET SCENT" and "SLEEP (NIGHT TERROR) POWDER."

So, what was really behind the door?

Freakish, deranged childhood anarchy of infernal abominations. Crayon-like drawings of Vam's kills. Deranged taunts about getting back at the bullying Pokemon, and then mocking their deaths. Vam wanted his imagination to be real and Non promised him it would be! Meanwhile there would have been deranged doodles and scribbles everywhere. And then there were these...

Spoiler:

Vam's COMPLETELY MESSED-UP, TWISTED, AND DERANGED CHILDHOOD JOURNAL, ALL OVER THE EFFING WALLS.

And there were some dark, dark sinister truths to Vam. He kept his mother, Dami the Bellossom, drugged and sleeping later with Non's kicked up Sleep Powder...

Lately, I feel guilty even just sleeping and waking up later than usual."

He LIES about playing at the lake with Rike:

"You know, I was playing tag in the park with Rike and Kandi yesterday,"

"Munit," Rike shrugs. "I don't know squat about any 'Munit.' I never go by the lake because it's just boring. Rumor has it some of the hobo Pokémon go there to pee. That's just nasty."

Meanwhile, as all this was going on, DAMI THE BELLOSSOM WAS ALWAYS IN COMPLETE DENIAL. Vam was made to look as innocent and as peaceful as could be, and if you confronted him a lot, Dami was going to be all over you and keep telling you it couldn't ever be him.

Vam was meant to be HARD to figure out, but you guys did great!
