Water down the back

Water is a great thing to have and an even greater thing to have down the back, which is where water should be stored in the first place. Water stored in an area that is not down the back suffers from the curse of not being down the back.

If you would like to drink water we have some down the back and I will allow you to drink some water for rehydration or immersion purposes.

## Location

Step forward, there is a corner up 3 feet down the left 2 and a half miles, down the corner corner, down 5, left 39. Move past the door and dive beneath a ground which we do in fact have. There is another wall, take an upward flight, move sideways three spaces. There is a fourth corner to the right, down left, and rotated 80%. The next wall is subject to change through these instructional elements:

1. Whether you have taken the third left down the road.
2. Whether we do in fact have ground.
3. You ask me for a hamburger and I give you a hamburger.
4. I think they're good. They'd let me know if there was a problem.

If you require water down the back please follow these careful instructions and you will be closer to some water that is down the back, just upwards of the left corner (1992 spaces down). If you require an aperture of 4° or greater, do not look at the ground which we do in fact have. Give it time. It will be your most trusted friend.

## Benefits

A full water down the back provides several benefits including immunity from Neurotic Prolaxial Devotee Syndrome and a decent corruption benefits package because if you can choose not to die you can then maybe keep drinking which is cool and fine.

## Stage 1

Perks of the corruption benefits package allow survival of the following stages: Healthy, Infected, Sick, Debilitated, Crippled, Comatose, Lingering, Deceased, Undead, Awakened, Ascended, Primordial, Eternal One. The package can be found utilizing the instructions and fluids provided above. Make sure your slurps are long and loud. Make sure he can hear you.

*It was exhilarating to start. You didn't think it could feel this nice, but when the water grew dark and the heat of your body was soothed by its pleasantries, all you needed to do was sink. And Sink. And Sink. You knew where the waters came from. You knew where they would go. You knew you were never meant to be a part of it, and you smiled, because nothing was. Phantom told you how deep he wanted these waters, how much blood he required for the servicing and the spectacle. He let you dive deep for the pearls beneath the lightless depths, and you always found so many. It was so easy to ignore where they came from - who's fingers you pried open; who's faces stared back.*

## Stage 2

Bodies returned or modified before 1992 are not subject to the following clauses:

- That we were here, we're watching, and we remember.

- That there isn't anything else.

- That you must do what you are here to do.

̶T̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶

That you are not in charge That your body is rented That you will do what you are here to do That you will complain but not change That you will fight but not win That you will do what we are here to do That you will act That We Will Be Here That We Will Watch That We Will Remember The Spectacle Because It Is All Unique.

*It wasn’t supposed to be this way. You had fulfilled your job; your purpose was complete. Phantom told you the water was deep, but now you see the density of his deceit. You swam for him even as you knew what lurked at river's end. Why? Your mind swims in self-recrimination. Perhaps you though you where indispensable. You got so close to him. Your body towered over the kings and queens and pawns thrown daily to the depths just so that the show could last longer - just so those clapping hands could still dive for something. But now? Here you are. A broken mess. A wound in your chest. Your own river of red water seeping from a heart of air and dust. Something who’s purpose for being was never for themselves. Water rushes below, stars twinkle above, and you know they are both beyond you.*

*You doubt your calls for blood can still be heard. Maybe that’s for the best.*

## Stage 3

You Are Not Here ̶Y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶e̶

You Are Not Watching ̶I̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶

You Do Not Remember ̶B̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶

I will do these things for you.

*The end is not a quiet place, but when you call out, there is noreply*.
