OFF-TAPE: Welcome
My job application has been accepted, hooray!
The Tobacconists cult has finally decided to evaluate me for the job; I am exactly where everyone tries to get to throughout their entire lives. In this wonderful vinyl and cassette shop, I will be making sales to incoming customers. But around here, not everyone is a customer. Some only appear to be. Fortunately, our supreme cult knows an excellent way to tell them apart and has distributed tools of their own divine technology to all employees to use in this situation. Using these, I can do my job safely. Well, every job has its challenges, and if it were easy, everyone would do it, wouldn't they?
MANIFEST EMOTIONS
Fill cassettes and vinyl records with human emotions using the divine technology of The Tobacconists.
Tune the frequencies.
Repair jammed machines.
Keep the shelves fully stocked.
Check incoming customers through the cameras.
Reward good customers with your products full of emotion.
Tear bad customers to pieces with your shotgun or camera. It's just that easy. The more production increases, the more your earnings grow. With your earnings, you can place orders from The Tobacconist computer to increase your security, or expand our shop to earn more tokens. The Tobacconists love industrious people.
OBSERVE CUSTOMERS
Customers do not come directly to your door. Before they reach you, they wander between the rooms of the building. Track them using your nine-camera security system. Watch out for signs indicating that something is wrong:
Abnormal temperatures
Unidentified sounds
Strange marks and residues
Room skipping
Reality distortions
Eye reactions
Sourceless whispers
Environmental anomalies Everyone makes a mistake eventually, if you watch them long enough.
DETERMINE THE TYPE
Try to understand what the incoming visitor is by using the clues you have gathered. Wrong decisions are fatal. Some of the incoming customers are just customers. Some are from creatures of the physical dimension, but they are harmless. Some are in a spiritual dimension, but they are still harmless. Some spiritual and physical ones want to kill us. But Tobacconist products protect us. For some, there is nothing to do but hide. Perhaps for now.
To our malevolent physical friends:
Open the door nicely.
Raise your weapon.
Pull the trigger right in the middle of their mouths.
To our malevolent spiritual friends:
Weapons are useless.
Prepare your special Camera.
Look at the frame, and the moment it says "Cheese," tear it to pieces.
Unfortunately, some are superior. They cannot be fought. Enter the high-level Tobacconist hiding cabin, hide, and pray...
