2 Washbasin On the table you see a bowl of water, a rough soap, and next to it a small hand mirror. A straight razor soaks inside the wash basin.

3 You [Leave.]
4 Washbasin The water reflects back a vague image of your face -- nose bulbous and red, hair unkempt, wrinkles lining the eyes and forehead. The 'stache is gigantic.

9 Hand/Eye Coordination Like an artist with a brush or a master swordsman, you use the small mirror and the straight razor -- with some soap -- to remove all that unkempt hair from below the nose-line.

15 Hand/Eye Coordination They feel so smooth, surprisingly so. A feeling of freshness overcomes you, as if you just came from a cold bath.
  • 68
16 You This isn't sharp enough. Scrape harder.
  • 17
17 Hand/Eye Coordination Stop, for crying out loud! You're gonna cut your own throat.
  • 28
18 You I *need* to shave the chops!
  • 30
19 Physical Instrument You'll be lookin' like a pansy without the chops! A fuckin' pansy!

21 Washbasin The water reflects back a vague image of your clean-shaven face. Despite the bulbous nose, unkempt hair and persistent swelling, you look... a little younger, maybe?
  • 22
22 Logic You almost look like a professional.
  • 24
23 Suggestion Your face, such as it is. A regular human face. Sans expression.

29 You Drop the razor in the water basin.
  • 31
30 Hand/Eye Coordination Your hand refuses to move another millimetre. A small trickle of blood runs down your cheek.
  • 13
31 Hand/Eye Coordination The razor lands with a *clang*. A red trickle begins to spread in the water.
  • 13
32 You Feel your clean-shaven cheeks.
  • 15
33 You Hope this was the right decision.
  • 34
34 Hand/Eye Coordination Beneath the doubt sprouts a new vigour, like you've discarded some bad decisions. It feels as though you've passed through a ritual. Emerged from cold water, even...
  • 69
35 Hand/Eye Coordination The sharp blade chafes against your skin, producing a scratching sound. The surface underneath the beard feels tender, the air brushing against it chilly.

  • 61
59 Washbasin Thank god you didn't go in there barehanded! Death smell is notoriously difficult to get off yourself and your clothes though and cleaning up takes a while...
  • 60
60 Washbasin But man persists and after fifteen minutes pass, you look almost presentable. Sort of. The sudden absence of the morbid dead tissue smell instantly lifts your spirit.

64 Washbasin But man persists and finally your bruised hands look clean and presentable... sort of. The sudden absence of the morbid dead tissue smell is uplifting.
  • 67
65 Washbasin Scrubbing all the necrotic tissue off your hands takes a while. The fingernails are especially hard. Death has made it's way into every nook and cranny...
  • 66
66 Interfacing Should have used gloves. Detectives use gloves, when they go rummaging around in someone's dead brain...
