Not really, it's the same temperature as the rest of the room (ie: room temperature). There could always be some sort of temperature control on it, or the chute could just be long enough that the heat doesn't really travel all the way up. Also it's spelled 'chute'.

You can't say that for certain. There could be a seal that prevents oxygen from escaping, and gravity across the entire FRIGATE is regulated AUTOMAGICALLY by some sort of complicated doohickey in the HULL, meaning you don't have to worry about it.

You create a rope out of some junk from the CLOTHES TRUNK. It's so pretty and multicoloured! This will surely keep Flam safe as you send him down into the pits of the dangerous unknown.

Flim ties you up and instructs you on how to make an oxygen seal. The makeshift rope doesn't fit around the CLOWN so only you get tied up. You're forced to carry the thing in your own two hands.
>Next.

You begin shimmying your way down the chute, mouth-to-mouth with the robo-clown. What was this supposed to accomplish again? The air is perfectly breathable down here, except for the stink of garbage of course. Although the fact the chute smells so bad reassures you that the other end probably isn't deep space.

The crudely made rope falls apart! No one is surprised, except for two idiot children who never learned about knots.

Your prayers have been answered! You have landed on top of something soft... and squishy, and wet and wow this is a lake of garbage. You're stuck in a garbage stew! The CLOWN has already been swallowed whole, never to be seen again.

You dropped Flam! You hope he doesn't hold this against you.

You are never going to let her forget this. You deserved better than to be dropped onto a pile of garbage in some gross grey garbage lake. Garbage garbage garbage. Flim is garbage.

No she's not you take it back you love her but god damn she's an idiot sometimes.

You are now the CLOWN. You cannot be reactivated as you are an inanimate, hollow robot shell painted like a clown. The garbage stew fills you up and drags you to the bottom. You will never be relevant to the story again. Never. Ever.

You can no longer be the CLOWN.

You call down the chute for Flam, but hear nothing in response. You can't see all the way to the bottom because of how it bends, and it's too dark down the shaft. You hope he survived...

You're going to need to find another way out. It won't be long before the EMPRESS notices a kid missing.

The EMPRESS is pretty pissed off about all the time you're wasting in the past. Sorry lady, you can't change the past. What's done is done. If you can't handle my memories at their most asinine, you don't deserve them at their most intriguing.

Sam: befriend the robots that helped you out, they seem like cool guys who would like to join your crew. (you're putting a crew together)
Robot: the wall wants you to "find string" go take the string on off the yo-yo so the wall will leave you alone.

You're pretty thirsty all of a sudden so you decide to drink some of the stinky garbage water.
>Next.

You are now a HOMELESS VAGABOND. You are a member of this capitalist society who has been left behind, and forced to live off the scraps of the upper classes. It's tough being a hobo and living on the streets. The things you've had to do to survive....

Of course there is no real economy on this ship you're all just robots. You're pretty sure the EMPRESS just felt out of place not having a poverty-stricken social class to subjugate, so she created you and your hobo friends that live down here in the garbage engine, where all the waste from the ship is recycled back into electric power / raw matter for the HEAVENLY MACHINA.

It is your duty to be as homeless and degenerate as possible, but gods be damned if you won't let yourself live out the stereotype of the noble savage in the process.
>HV: Examine child
Image
You thought this guy was a robot at first, an oppresed minority like yourself, but the way he's vomiting after drinking that garbage water has caused you to reconsider this. You should probably turn him in to your lordlady, but... he's gonna be tripping the fuck out and that's not a good time to be confronting parental figures.

You give him a gentle back rub while he vomits up a bunch of GARBAGE and CAT FOOD.

You calm yourself down by convincing yourself the garbage water is magic. You're fine. You're fine. (No you aren't.)

The garbage water is a highly potent chemical mixture, producing effects similar to drugs like jenkim, lsd, psilocybin, peyote, dmt, ketamine, mescaline, etc. All in all, this is probably the most harrowing experience of your life so far.

You slip your NIRVANA + MILK HOTEL CDs all into one sleeve and tie it shut. It's kinda thick now with like 4 CDs inside it. You hope this doesn't damage the discs. Now... how are you actually planning on getting up to that vent?

Robot: use the SPATIAL REPOSITIONER to get your tools. open it up and take a look at what you have got.
Cinnamon: obviously just stack the cat food under the vent then use the boombox as a "stepping stone" up to the food and crawl out.
Sam: go get more robots to join your crew. your taking over this ship.

Okay. You do that, pretty much verbatim.

You walk over to the TOOLBOX and attempt to open it, but the lid is sealed by a lock too complex for your tiny TOYBOT body. If only there was a bigger, stronger ROBOT around who could open it for you...

You command the TOYBOT (using your BLUETOOTH ANTENNA, obviously) to push the TOOLBOX onto the SPACIAL REPOSITIONER. It is unable to get it up onto the platform by itself, so the BUNNY lends a hand.

The TOOLBOX spawns on your side, and then immediately falls in the water.

You drop it on the ground to give it time to dry out. If only you had some RICE to put it in. You'll have to find another way to grab that TOOLBOX.

You move the stack of CAT FOOD boxes to the space underneath the vent, expending considerable effort in the process. These boxes contain a LOT of food, and thus are quite heavy.

You're reluctant to do anything that might damage your precious BOOMBOX, but at the same time you can't leave Sam Flam on his own for too long. You (gently) climb on top of the BOOMBOX and make your way to the VENT.

Image
Much to your chagrin, it turns out the VENT is screwed into the wall! If only you had a FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER, or like some sort of MAGIC WAND would work too. But everyone knows magic is a bunch of bullshit so it looks like you're going to need a SCREWDRIVER.

The depression is overwhelming. You are starting to realize the futility of your situation... if you can't find a SCREWDRIVER, your only other option will be to fall down the chute, same as him... but that's suicide. No it isn't, it can't be, because that means Sam is DEAD! The cognitive dissonance born of naive hopefulness is threatening to tear your mind apart. You cannot avoid this any longer... he might be dead.

Alright. You want to die and all, but that is a very large SPIDER.

No matter how suicidal you might be, there's no fucking way you're going near that thing. If you want to go down the chute you'll need to find a long range spider killing weapon.

Nervously, it turns the GAME LIE around to show you the screen.

THAT MOTHERFUCKER. THAT IS YOUR GAME LIE. HOW DARE THEY TAINT IT WITH oh hey is that an actual Pokemon game? You've only ever played bootlegs. You'd love to get a chance to check out some of the canonical monster designs. Understandably, the bot does not want to give up the GAME LIE. They're worried you're going to either vomit on it or find a way to damage it in your drug-addled state.

Also, Pokemon is just really addictive.
