_Like a spring unloaded, the half-digested egg ejects itself from the entrance to your esophagus, planting its sticky white and green mass onto the back of the toilet._
The lieutenant sends a glance your way, and quickly looks back at his notes as you hurl the horrific post-egg sludge into the shallow toilet bowl, splattering it across the porcelain and the floor.
*PERCEPTION:* On the windowsill you see, no, you _smell_ an egg. It smells like a used towel. *ELECTROCHEMISTRY:* Eat it, right now. Put it in your mouth and swallow it. *VOLITION:* Hold on, you don't need to eat everything that fits into your mouth. Just observe the scene first, and try to get a sense of what it's doing on a windowsill. *CONCEPTUALIZATION:* Ingest the symbol of femininity. Embrace the immortal symbol of fertility and become reborn from the experience. Maybe this time, you will emerge whole. *ENCYCLOPEDIA:* That is not just an egg, but a Devilled Egg. Devilled Eggs are extremely popular in Messina, where they are the National Dish and a traditional staple of springtime cuisine. *LOGIC:* Seems like there must have been some sort of soiree or celebration for such a delicacy to have been left in such a place as this. *HALF-LIGHT:* This is clearly a trap. Pull out your gun; shit is about to go down, if it hasn't already hit the fan. *COMPOSURE:* It's just an egg. There's nothing inherently wrong with this picture, odd as it is. *DRAMA:* This is no mere egg, Sire. The appearance of this egg means something. It is a token of the world's love for you. Or a message of dearest affection from some wayward admirer. There would not be an egg here without reason. *PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT:* Reach out and just lift up the egg. Touch it. Feel it in your hands. You won't let this egg escape you, Egg-Catcher that you are. *INTERFACING:* A slightly moist exterior betokens the length of time that this egg has been left by the windowsill. A thin membrane of condensation is responsible for this. The egg feels almost slippery. *RHETORIC:* Why would there be an egg on the windowsill if you weren't supposed to eat it? *ESPRIT DE CORPS:* You can feel your brothers and sisters, each of them call out to you, for the love of God, to not eat this egg that was sitting in the sun. *SAVOIR FAIRE:* Sitting in the sun, soaking up that sweet golden light. Embrace the moment, and embrace the sun-kissed egg as it descends into your mouth. You are the Night, and this egg is your Sunset. *AUTHORITY:* EAT THE EGG RIGHT THIS SECOND! *EMPATHY:* Wait, the egg was left there by someone who didn't think to eat it. That person might know something you don't. *SUGGESTION:* Since when do we listen to other people? Why the hell would we start now when doing so would cost us an egg? *INLAND EMPIRE:* As you draw the egg towards your mouth, you feel a sense of great elation. Some part of you knows that this is the moment, the moment where it all comes back around for you. The universe is extending you a hand and a heart. This will be the thing that makes it all better. From this day forward, you will have the Heavens themselves cheering for you. *HAND-EYE COORDINATION:* Cooly, you pop the egg into your mouth in one go. Smooth operator style. *SHIVERS:* Outside, where the fishermen and their wives used to sing of their catches, a man consumes the remains of a wayward janitors leftovers, taken too late from the aftermath of a conference on fertilizer adatives, and left too long in an unsealed refrigerator. He had only brought it here because he thought that the seagulls might wish to enjoy the treat. They did not even deem to approach it, sensing it's unhygienic status. No right minded creature would eat such a thing. *REACTION SPEED:* As soon as you swallow, you vomit. This is a populist uprising. Literally every cell in your body is refusing to tolerate the presence of the Egg, refusing to accept your decisions. You are the Suzerain, brought low by your own hubris. *PAIN THRESHOLD:* Oh my God, why did you do this? It's impossible not to throw up. It's like you just tried to swallow the ballsack of a two-week old cadaver. *ENDURANCE:* Throwing up isn't good enough. A part of it is still in you. A part of it will never leave you. This has changed things, forever. You will never taste anything except this for the rest of your life. *VISUAL CALCULUS:* You're pretty sure that you've knocked ten, maybe fifteen, years of your life off for having attempted to eat the egg. *LT. KIM KITSURAGI:* "I'm glad to see you at least have the sense to get sick. Shall we go?" *HORRIFIC NECKTIE:* EAT THAT SECOND DEVILLED EGG, BRATAN!
@@Ehlihr deadass out the gate I played like a complete horse's ass until the first time kim shows you some scathing disapproval. I turned harry's act around for him
"He thinks less of you for this. A better detective would've kept the egg down." I'M SORRY KIM, I'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON OKAY, I JUST ATE TWO ROTTEN DEVILED EGGS AND I MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE THE APOCALYPSE.
@@lucasarmas9198 If he took therapy and went on the hard road of sobriety, he'd look a lot less sickly and red around the mutton chops. He'd look a lot more attractive.
To be fair If you're mentally fucked in a certain way you get something similar. I experience something like this, granted not as vividly or as in-depth as Harry But I do occasionally find myself in the middle of a mental conversation with what appear to be other mes in my own head
Don't recognise where the original audio is from- but this is unironically exactly what making a dumb choice feels like in Disco elysuim. Especially the part where the necktie just urges you to make exactly the same mistake again.
It's from a college humor show called game changer, kind of an improv gameshow thing. Here's the clip, or search Game Changer Egg if you don't want to click a random link on youtube. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CBC2OCXceV8.html
> Composure [Challenging: Failure] ME: Ah, well these things happen. Failure is a part of the game :) > [Kim] thinks less of you for this. ME: Oh god oh fuck oh no reset reset reset
so what if Kim thinks less of you? lowering your expecations can make it easier to exceed them, if you can rebuild Kim's respect for you, which i know you can, then his regenerated confidence in you can help bolster you into further development and growth. alternativly, dont be a dumbass anymore
*Horrific Necktie:* EGGS ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE, BRATAN! FROM EGGS WE COME AND TO EGGS WE SHALL RETURN! INGEST THE EGG AND YOU SHALL BECOME CLOSER TO THE MOTHER OF ALL CREATION! AND ONCE WE HAVE THE MOTHER, WE'LL NEVER THINK ABOUT *ANY* OTHER WOMAN EVER AGAIN!
This works on so very many levels. What I wouldn't give to have Brennan use this world and... somehow create a system that mimics Harry's parliament of the mind into a D20 campaign
Within literal days of me posting this and wonder how you could even begin to run a multiplayer TTRPG game that reflects Harry's internal life and Thomas Violence comes out with Fishblade. It's so simple in retrospect but I never would have though of it - all the players are playing the one character, but are taking on different facets of their mind
Its not explicitly named but the necktie could totally be named as the voice of Chaos in Harry's mind. I think an additional personality that represents the random and nonsensical thoughts you dont actually give into would be a welcome addition
Pretty sure the necktie represents Harry's self-destructive tendencies. It can straight up kill you when trying to reach for it at the very beginning of the game if you don't pass a roll, and at another point if Harry is still wearing it, it will literally try to strangle him to death and give him a panic attack. Not sure if you can die from that one or not, but probably.
@@dangerousdays2052 i wore the necktie the whole game and never had either of these experiences, maybe mine was just the slightly-less-horrific necktie
This is SO good I love this so much. Recognized the audio at Brennan's voice (horrific necktie) but I still need to actually watch this show The audio fits SO well
Unlocked thougth: Devils Egg Time: 4h Research "bonuses": -2 to INT - Because you should be smarter then THAT -1 to Autority to Kim - What did you expect Complete bonuses: -1 to INT - You are smarter now... but still not enougth -1 to all tests with Kim - He just... dont know what to think +1 to CON - You just enjoy pain dont you? There is are 60% chance to dont suffer Morale lost because you dont care
My favourite thing about Disco elysium fanartists is how hard yall will go rendering the skills for the meme. It's so in keeping with the game and completes the joke.
"Okay, I'm going to be late to work so I should take my car instead of trying to make it to the next train..." Left Leg: "I dunno, I'm really feeling it today, I think we can make it. 😁" Left Arm: "I mean, maybe, if we run, I guess? 🙁" Brain: "No! You won't make it in time and then you'll have to come back and you'll be even more late 😠" Pancreas: "Mm I smell bacon, can, can we stop for bacon? 😗" Brain: "No Pancreas, we're already late as is 😮💨" Left Leg: "I could go for some ramen..." Left Arm: "...Tofu" Left Leg: "..." Brain: "..... 😤" Pancreas: "I'm not hungry anymore." Brain: "Okay good that settles it, let's take the car. 😑" Left Leg: "But the train is so much fasterrrr! 😌 And economical!.. 😀" Left Arm: "Plus it's good for the environment! 🤓" Left Leg: "Yeah that too!" Right Arm: "I think Brain is right.." Left Leg: "Stfu Right Arm!" Left Arm: "Yeah stfu Right Arm!" Right Arm: "You guys are so mean to me... 😭" Right Leg: "Alright who told Right Arm t-" Left Leg & Left Arm: "He did it!.. Uh, No it wasn't! Stop lying! Im not lying 😌🤥 Okay, prove it... Transubstantionalism! Ah! Ahah! Cheese and Bacon toasties with lettuce ontop!" Pancrease: "That makes me kinda hungry.." Right Leg: "You guys are weird.." ... Brain: "Ok, 😤 now that that is sorted, can we stop bickering and take the f*cking car?! 😡" "Eh, screw it, I'll try and make the next train, I'll just say it was late again." Brain: "Wha-? 😲🤯 I swear. It's like you don't even listen to me half the time....😫" Left Leg: "😈" Left Arm: "😈" Left Leg: "I think we're gonna make it! 😳" Brain: "🥺" "Oh f#ck. I missed it." Left Leg: "😆😂🤣" Left Arm: "Wait- what? Huh?! 🤨" Brain: "He tricked him you idiot, like he always does 😒 He likes to run, that's his defining character trait. It's like this whole scenario was written up in a youtube comment" Left Arm: "Well fuck. Also- oddly specific analogy." "Guess I'll have to go back to the car." Brain: 😑 Left Leg: 😄 Left Arm: 😑
The only thing this is missing is Drama popping in to back up the "it wouldn't be there if you weren't supposed to eat it" argument. Right at Logic says it makes no sense
I can't watch this bevause of yhe warning but thank you so so so much for putting thw warnign I would've watched this and died on the spot due to having severe emetophobia so I am forever in your debt. Seriously I've never seen an emetophobia warning before it's wild
