LabTWOW

The information in the article below contains spoilers for The StoryTWOW Timeline. Please read the prompt(s) in question if you haven't seen them already.

## Story

### Other Characters

* Prototype Manuals
* Dr. V

LabTWOW is the first TWOW chronologically in the storytwow timeline. It features sci-fi aesthetics, a full original story, and prompt art drawn entirely by Grey (the creator of LabTWOW).

## Plot

### Prompt 1

You are scrolling through the internet, not doing anything in particular when you get a pop-up ad for a TWOW called LabTWOW. Obviously, it seems cool and interesting, so you click on it to sign up. You fill out the form, and then come to the first prompt:

> **Why should we consider you for our internship?**
>
>

There's no deaths in this round, but the top 6 people prized and got drawn by Grey.

### Prompt 2

The 60 interns arrived at the laboratory. They were apparently chloroformed and brought to the laboratory while passed out, to keep the lab's location a secret. They're greeted by Lab Manual and Lab Notebook, who explain to them that the lab is full of dangerous chemicals, and being exposed to them can cause all sorts of bad things to happen. So, the prompt of this round:

> **How do we stay safe in the lab?**
>
>

Nobody died this round, except for the DNPers.

#### Exposure

When the contestants who have been exposed sleep, they find themselves in a strange place. A white expanse with nothing but a single door. Before they can open it, a strange figure starts to peek out of it, exclaiming that they're late for class. The shock wakes everyone up.

### Prompt 3

The contestants are split into 2 groups, one going with Lab Manual and the other with Lab Notebook.

#### Prompt 3A

Lab Manual takes her group to the chronology lab, where they study time travel, and other things of that nature. She shows the contestants the first functional time machine, developed by the lab's engineers. However, it hasn't been tested out yet. So the interns job is to do that. The prompt is:

> **How should we test our time machine?**
>
>

Nobody dies, but some people become close at 2 out of 3 possible levels of exposure.

#### Prompt 3B

Lab Notebook takes their contestants to a chemical synthesis lab. They seem extremely nervous about doing this alone, but give the prompt out regardless.

> **Invent a super cool useful chemical. What can your chemical do?**
>
>

Again nobody dies, but a lot of people move to 2 exposure levels.

#### Exposure

Everyone enters the classroom, the flask standing by expectantly. She chides the books for being extremely late, and then waits for everyone to sit down. She introduces the class as a General Science class, taught by her, Dr. V. The alive interns wake up in the intern lounge.

### Prompt 4

#### Prompt 4a

Lab Manual takes her group of interns to the zoology lab. She explains that the animals are either studied or used for tests, but are extremely well taken care of. She continues on, explaining that for decades scientists have tried to create animal cross breeds, but thanks to their technology that's finally possible. So the prompt is:

> **Suggest two animals for creating a genetic hybrid.**
>
>

4 people die this round from exposure.

#### Prompt 4b

Lab Notebook takes their group to the Botany lab, where everyone can work with plants. The problem is, most of the plants die before any full test can be run on them, because they don't really like the lab conditions. So the interns' job is to fix that.

> **How do we get our plants to grow better?**
>
>

4 people die this round as well.

#### Exposure

The exposed contestants find themselves in the classroom again. Dr. V seems cheerful, explaining their first lesson, where do objects come from? She continues on, explaining that before object society, humans were the dominant species on earth. They had complex languages and civilizations, and it's even evidenced that they had advanced telepathic and empathic abilities. They created almost every object before objects were even a species. However, scientists are still puzzled on how they died out. The species is extinct, but nobody has been able to understand the cause.

All of the books know this is completely stupid. None of what she's saying is factual. Books have always existed, as their world has. Nothing came before it. But a flask shouldn't be living either. Everyone wakes up to a new day.

### Prompt 5

#### Prompt 5a

As the prompt starts, Lab Manual is seen disposing bodies down the garbage chute. She explains that it may have went a bit south last time, but this round won't involve nearly as much death. Which is why she's taking them to the Ectolab, where they synthesize ghosts. She explains that ghosts don't occur naturally, and that despite recovery they're really just doing this because they can. However it seems that the ghost personnel do become extremely aggressive and have been completely wrecking the lab. She doesn't see the problem. However there should be a solution to it, so the intern's job is to come up with that. So the prompt is:

> **How do we stop the ghosts from haunting the lab?**
>
>

Luckily, only one person dies in this round.

#### Prompt 5b

Lab Notebook seems hesitant to start the prompt. It's apparent they didn't think anyone in their group would die and now they're really worried about continuing the competition. But they're sure that won't happen this time because they're going to take them to the robotics lab which is super safe and not dangerous at all! The second they step into the lab a machine comes barelling towards them trying to kill them. They luckily are able to dodge it, but it appears all the machines are revolting against the lab technicians. LN panics, and makes the prompt hastily.

> **How do we stop the haywire robots?**
>
>

3 of the interns die.

#### Exposure

It's time for another lesson. The in the classroom the books are forced to listen to Dr. V's teaching yet again. She asks them if they ever wonder why some objects are sentient, and some aren't. It's very easily explained, she goes on. At some point something sentient found you and decided you were important. While the science behind it is convoluted, sentimental and emotional attachments to objects are generally what gives them sentience. Someone calls it stupid, and everyone who is still alive wakes up.
