To key, or not to key, aye there’s the point,
To Die, to sleep, is that all? Aye all:
No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes,
For in that dream of death, when we awake,
And borne before an everlasting Judge,
From whence no passenger ever returned,
The undiscovered country, at whose sight
The happy smile, and the accursed damned.
But for this, the joyful hope of this,
Who’d bear the scorns and flattery of the world,
Scorned by the right rich, the rich cursed of the poor?
He is an employee at a gigantic game company so I’m guessing he’ll be seeing those tube people in no time. How long he stays alive is something else entirely.

Cue next strip, in which Ferris rushes out to the parking lot after Carol to give her keys back, because he’s a decent and loyal sort or because he realizes there’s no smooth way to return the keys later and not get fired.
What are you talking about? After using the keys, you hold on to them to give back to her the next day, and say “I found these in the elevator, so I held onto them until you came back to work.”
He could just leave them somewhere Carol would believe she could have left them. Not in the elevator, cuz that’s a huge security risk. Maybe in her desk drawer or something, or he could just turn them in at the front desk and not say anything incriminating.
Oh Ferris. You will be missed by the real world. Now, when they tube you, just pray it’s not anywhere near Frigg and E-Merle in the woods. If you interrupt that you’re not going to have a good first impression of the new world you live in.
So, when HR takes PTO for his LOA, who does he submit the paperwork to?
And if Carol becomes CEO, will Ferris become her PA, or intimately familiar with the WPP?
I dunno, sometimes it really is that easy. You get yourself into a state where something takes over your life and everything else goes to hell. If you’re lucky, sometimes you can look around and have something just shift, something on the order of “what the f___ am I doing?” In that case the best thing to do is take a break and step back, get your head together.
I’ve heard it happening with addicts for example or people with depressive mental conditions. So yeah I do find HR’s reaction realistic, if it’s true.
Uh-oh.
Maybe he’s getting the key and running after Carol to give it back to her. :)
THAT would be a plot twist.
that’d be the easy solution, I considered that happening as well.
Sucking up to Carol for a chance to get laid, or finding out what’s in the basement, hmm…
why not both? “hey carol, today seems like an unusual day, wanna have sex in the basement?”
Thank you, scrunchy, for that perfect reply. <3
Yeah, things are going down the drai- elevator.
Either way, sounds like someone’s gonna get the shaft.
Aww, so much for the number on the keys (back on the chapter cover page) being a hidden message… OR SO WE THINK?
New party member incoming!
Get him in ze tube.
Tu – be, or not tu -be, zat is ze qvestion.
You mean “vat is ze qvestion”. You do not know your containers? What a crock.
I think you mean, ‘To key or not to key’.
To key, or not to key, aye there’s the point,
To Die, to sleep, is that all? Aye all:
No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes,
For in that dream of death, when we awake,
And borne before an everlasting Judge,

The logical side of him is saying no but the dungeon crawler is screaming yes.
He is an employee at a gigantic game company so I’m guessing he’ll be seeing those tube people in no time. How long he stays alive is something else entirely.
Oh, I actually fully expect him to live.
That creates much better shenanigans.
IT’S HAPPENING.

Pay no attention to the man in the basement!
It’s just an optical illuuuuusion.
Oopsie.
I’m imagining those keys catalogued by the SCP Foundation.
So write it up. :)

You must be horrible at workplace shenanigans.

Walking blood canteen, on his way down for the sacrifice…
Yeep – and he’s the one Carol was looking to give a bonus too. Gosh, won’t be suspicious at all when he ends up dead in a workplace accident.
CAN WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER FROM THE AUDIENCE?
If curiosity killed the cat, it’s going to stick a game designer into a life-support tube and hook him up into a VR world.
And that’s IF he’s lucky.
Oh, what? No. They’ll just promote him to PR and give him a raise. ;)
It’s a trap!
aww, i was gonna say that XD
“Time to unlock some crates!”
Oh god no. Don’t start that. No one wants that.
No one wants that, right?
Saxton Hale does, unfortunately.
now thats just unneccesary. do what link does and smash dem flowerpots for your precious loot XD
“Shall We Play A Game?”
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
Free keys are an integral part of any rpg but they’re usually found in singles not five at a time. Just goes to show how over the top GA is.
Oh Ferris. You will be missed by the real world. Now, when they tube you, just pray it’s not anywhere near Frigg and E-Merle in the woods. If you interrupt that you’re not going to have a good first impression of the new world you live in.
…and/or a good impression of Frigg’s fist.
Wow, that is one massive elevator.
Not if you compare it to the TARDIS
Well, how do you think they got the tanks into the basement?
I think we need to put out a Redshirt Alert :(

AARGH

and history repeats it’s self. i bet carol will learn technomancy and poor Ferris will be HER lacky.
…shiny…

So, when HR takes PTO for his LOA, who does he submit the paperwork to?
And if Carol becomes CEO, will Ferris become her PA, or intimately familiar with the WPP?
If he picks them up, he won’t be able to drop them. They’re a Key Item.
If I were him I’d probably just give her the keys back and be nice :P
This link is relevant to the discussion…
This is more relevant (plus, it’s The Ramones)
Hey. HEY. Put it down, put it down RIGHT NOW, mister.
