No Me Llames Tami Alternate Endings Part 6


Opting to "never have taken this journey" in CHOICE #10 boots you back to the first page, without any unusual plot twists.  Although there seems to be a reference to the Wizard of Oz right before you do it, because you "tap the heels of your shoes together".  Wonder what happens when I "cancel our pact" with Genie Cthulhu?  The results aren't as positive as Poli's thinking:


"The tentacles stop instantly.  Did you kill the demon?  It seems paralyzed, like a painted stone statue.  Is that all?


Between the inert tentacles, a small mouth opens with various lines of concentric teeth.  The teeth are small and sharp, similar to those of a shark, irregular and pointed all in different directions.  The lines follow one another like in a tunnel.  The tunnel expands more and more, until it forms a cave.  You fall and fall through the cave, to the depths, between the following rings of teeth.


Your mouth, nose, and lungs are filling with water.  You try to scream but your words are confused and heavy.  They go to the surface, infinitely far.  You keep falling, and never stop.  END".


Since it mentions her lungs filling with water, I have to assume that Tamara drowns and that this counts as a Death, even if her corpse never lands.

No Me Llames Tami Alternate Endings Part 7


Let's not play the black disc in CHOICE #7!


"The disc can wait.  What can't wait are your airways, that urge you to abandon that attic as soon as possible".


I go to the first floor hallway, a narrow passage with almost no light.  "In which a dark-toned Precambrian wallpaper and a dozen pictures of still lives and cornucopias increase the claustrophobic sensation that suddenly invades you".


("Still life" is literally "dead nature" in the Spanish text.)


Remember when someone (RefSteel?) suggested that the non-English texts in the Creepy House library were "sanity-destroying eldritch tomes", like La Isla de los Dodos?  No Me Llames Tami is available as a paperback!  So the You Say Which Way protagonist could probably flip through this one in a confused fashion.  


"If you were a germophobe, you would have fainted on the stairs imagining the festival of mites (ácaro) that float on every step and the population of bacteria that swirl (arremolinar) in the shadows".



I reach the "living-dining room" next.  This makes me think of a Mafalda gag where Mafalda is confused when her homework has the word "sala" in it.  Mafalda asks her mom what a "sala" is, and she responds "living".  Mafalda then demands to know why they don't give her homework in proper Spanish.


Alfonso is called an "acumulador" in the narration, complete with finger quotes.  This is probably a euphemism for whatever the Spanish term for "hoarder" is.  I then hear a noise coming from the sideboard with glasses and liquor bottles.  "You freeze at the possibility of finding some kind of rodent:  a mouse, a small mouse (laucha), a squirrel, a gerbil, a capybara (carpincho). . .But it could be anything in this disorder".


Unless Tamara frequently attends Friday Night Rodent Fights, chances are she'd expect a capybara to be bigger than a squirrel or a gerbil.


CHOICE #12 is to ignore the noises and rummage through the paper, or examine the sideboard.


I'll ignore the obvious threat this time.  "Under a pile of humor magazines and soap stolen (sustraer) from 20 hotels, a desk that looks like it keeps important papers calls your attention.  After an hour and a half, I find the deed to the house so I can sell it.  The only thing I take with me is a knicknack dolphin that changes its color depending on the weather.  (Could it be a disguise for Drill Sergeant Flipper from Time Machine 6:  The Rings of Saturn?)


This gets me another ending where Poli rubs it in Tamara's face.


"The last think you know about the house is that a successful businessman is buying the land to destroy the building and build a skate park.  Why someone would be audacious enough to invest in a town with so little tourist interest is incomprehensible, although maybe less than the idea that a 'family type' would have the funds and force of will to buy a house and recondition it.  It doesn't matter.  Imagining the house turned into a pile of concrete curves doesn't move a hair on your head.


Regarding the profits of the sale, you don't have an overly ostentatious fate.  Unlike Poli, who never stops sending you photos of his adventures as a backpacker in Thailand, surrounded by Asians in bikinis and muscular guys.  You start a modest but prosperous skirt (pollera) design venture.  These days (hoy en día), your joy is measured in centimeters of fabric and in the quantity of notifications on your Facebook page.  END".


You have to root for Tamara in this ending.  She doesn't have easy success like Poli does, but she starts a fashion business with hard work and even manages to find a positive use for Facebook.

In CHOICE #12, I'll examine the house instead of selling it to a skate park developer.


I see many cockroaches, and my face becomes pale in the mirror.  In the shadows, I see Alfonso!  He looks mostly the same, except "under his lower lip, 2 long yellow fangs stick out, almost as far as his chin (mentón)".  We've finally found our vampire!  In case you have any doubts, he has no reflection in this mirror.


"Welcome, Tami.  To be honest, I was counting on your brother coming.  You surprised me.  It doesn't matter.  Your blood will work just the same.  We're family, after all.  Let's make it short.  For years, I've been feeding on children, animals, the indigent, and the lonely people of this town. . .I could continue like this forever.  I was tired of it.  I have a proposal for you.  If we mix our blood, I'll give you eternal life, and you to me, Tami, my. . ."


"Enough!  I'm sick of all this!  Don't call me like that again!  I'm sick of this town, this inheritance, and everything!"


I break a wine bottle and drive it into his neck.  For some odd reason, I drink his blood, and he groans weakly when he's too weak to defend himself.  I throw Alfonso's body out the front door, and 8 days later, I only see ashes.


Tamara's new life as a vampire:


"You can't see yourself on any surface, but touch reveals to you that your fangs grew below your chin.  Your sight, your hearing, and your sense of smell are enhanced.  You feel cold all the time, and somehow, with some new sense you didn't have before, you perceive the blood temperature of all living creatures.  (At first, you begin to think you're going crazy, from hunger and desperation, with so many stimuli at the same time.  Later, little by little, you begin to focus that new sense, to concentrate only on the nearest prey, or those you prefer.)


You inherit the abode and servants of your uncle.  After so many years, Alfonso had created an extensive network of servants, family members, subordinate hunters, loves, police officers, and accomplices who now respond to you. 


If you want fresh food, human or animal, corpses, company, or to bather in warm milk mixed with the blood of virgins (that besides maintaining your beauty, provides you a pleasure that nothing else could make you feel  before), you only have to ask for it.  You don't abandon your nightly hunt, however.  That emotion is without parallel.


You became Tamara, the queen of vampires.  The whole coast district is at your feet.  END".


I've never become an intelligent undead creature in a CYOA before, so how do I classify this ending?  Tamara is certainly happy eating people and bathing in virgins' blood!  Wait until Poli hears about this one!


But then again, this does kill a lot of people, making it a Bad Ending for the rest of humanity, at least in northeastern Argentina.  And Tamara is technically Dead too. . .


This ending also makes me conclude that No Me Llames is another CYOA in the Solipsism genre, where the player character's thoughts and actions alter the world itself rather than merely affecting them.  The other major case of this is La Isla de los Dodos, where the professor and dodos have completely different stories depending on the CHOICEs. 


Alfonso may be a vampire king in this timeline, but in another story, he was the patron of contact between humans and the underwater Argentine Cthulhu civilization.  


Oh well, since things go well for Tamara, I'll put it under the Good Ending column.  Who doesn't want to be a vampire every once in a while?

I'll talk to Vicente in CHOICE #5 instead of going to the cat kiosk.


Vicente occupies a "Municipal Palace", according to the neighbors.  "Vicente is one of those municipal employees who seems to be always busy:  you imagine him behind a pile of papers and a bunch of seals, like sweeping the leaves off the sidewalk.  His rapid movements give testimony of this excess of activity.  He has a curved spine and prematurely white hair, that contrasts with the leathery skin caused by the marine air."


He says "You must be Montgomery's niece, right?" in the "usted" sense.  "I suppose the shortage of tourists this time of year leaves no room for doubt".  Vicente gives me the keys to Alfonso's house, but doesn't want me to go alone.


"Your uncle. . .was involved in something strange.  I don't know in what sort of shape things will be.  Don't enter alone".


Vicente's too busy to come with me, so he offers to send a "cadet" to help.  CHOICE #13 is to either take him up on this offer, or go alone.


I tell Vicente "Don't worry.  I'm not easily scared" in a burst of bravado, then go to the house solo. 



The house is mostly similar to before, except now Alfonso is less coy about appearing.


"Welcome, niece.  I was waiting for you.  I was already tired of waiting.  Great niece, bah!  It doesn't matter".


He seems to be better-looking than ever, which shocks Tamara so much that the loanword "shockear" is used.  Alfonso then binds and gags (amordazar) Tamara with thick leather straps (correa).


"So you like bondage, Tami?"  Looks like the characters in this CYOA are. . .kinkier than usual.  And yes, the word is taken directly from English.  Even in their fantasies, Spanish speakers still secretly want to use English.


"You would never have imagined that your great uncle followed your blog".


"While Alfonso ties you up, your eyes become accustomed to the darkness, and you begin to distinguish things better among the shadows.  The floor is sowed with corpses and mutilated limbs.  Women, men, children, animals, all mixed and dirty.  That is the smell you haven't asked to identify:  dry blood and death.  The deep red dyes everything.  Even the gutters and the sink.



'Being a vampire isn't like what people believe.  What one eats is only part of it.  The red bath is more important.  The renovation of skin, the feast of flesh.  The brightness.  But only the blood of the clan of immortality.  As you will know, our family was not wasteful.  Maybe it would have had more children when possible.  But now it's only you, I, and your good-for-nothing (tarambana) brother, and I knew I could count on one of the two coming. 


'Oh, Poli!', you think.  And at the same time, you curse yourself for having taken that bus.  Alfonso finishes binding you and contemplates his work with satisfaction.  'So it is, dear Tami".


His face transforms.  Not literally, but the human disappears and becomes animal.  Anxiety unleashed, and a ferocious and beastly appetite.  He bites your wrists, your face, your neck, your legs, and the rest of your body.  Blood begins to sprout from the wounds, that mixes with the warm water ready for the bath.  END".


Is this a Death?  I think so, because to become a vampire in that other ending, Tamara launched a preemptive attack and drank Alfonso's blood instead.  Fortunately, the curtain falls before we have to see exactly what sort of preferences Tamara and Alfonso may have.

Tamara will go with Vicente's cadet this time instead of being eaten by her vampire uncle who has a perverted interest in her blog.


Vicente shouts "Pepo!", likely the name of the cadet.  Tamara is from Buenos Aires, but I don't know whether she lives in Mafalda's own San Telmo neighborhood.  Pepo complains about the copy machine for a bit, but Vicente says it'll be back when he returns.  Neither of us are supposed to touch anything if something weird happens.


Pepo insists on going through the forest.  I ask him about the orange fungus growing on the trees, and he laughs and points at a dead rat.  We watch ants for a while and then go to the beach.  (Miguelito from Mafalda liked watching ants too. . .)


But something seems to be wrong with Pepo.  "Let's say the pills don't agree with me very well. . .or yes, I don't know.  It depends.  Do you want a little more time?"  I'm not sure about that last sentence, as "secas" can refer to smoking in that region.


CHOICE #14 is to give Pepo more "secas", or keep going as if everything's fine.  Let's pick the former to figure out what weird context this is for.


Apparently it does mean time here, as we both take a rest.  We get along well, and pass each other "assorted crackers" and stargaze.  When we don't know the name of a star or satellite, we make one up.  ("Cookie" and "cracker" are both "galleta" in Spanish, so I had to take a guess here.  This may be the case for other languages too, as I once met a Russian who had trouble distinguishing cookies from crackers.)


After a while of this, a green light occupies the whole area.  You can probably guess what happens next.


"Inside the green sphere, a sequence of lights like a melody occurs:  orange, blue, white, purple, pink and a color you can't name because you haven't seen it before.  The luminous melody repeats several times, and although it tries to be harmonious, you know that it only announces destruction, death, and suffering, in that or any other order.


Soon, the sequence stops.  A beam (haz) of golden light comes out from the sphere towards Pepo.  Pepo slowly begins to rise through the light, attracted toward the brilliant green.  He is also paralyzed.  You see him ascending inert, like an empty shell, until you lose sight of him.  The beam stays fixed for a while, while Pepo, you suppose, finishes his journey.


The ray disappears for an instant and lights up again, this time over you.  The golden light envelops you like a fire, and you float, little by little.  You're being abducted for a horrible destiny that you can't imagine.  END".


Naturally, alien abductions are no problem for POLI's beach vacation plans!  In another book, this should be an Inconclusive Ending because we don't know if the aliens are actually kind, if disturbing to humans.


But this is a horror CYOA, and it's hinted throughout that nothing good can come of this, so in No Me Llames Tami, it's a Bad Non-Death Ending.  I knew there would be at least one ending like this because of the UFO on the cover.

Nothing good can come of going with Pepo, and this next ending will prove it.


"Suddenly, you have the urge to clear your head.


'What are you doing, Tami?'  'What are you saying, you jerk?  I hate it when people call me that', you laugh, and Pepo laughs with you, relieved.  'I wanted to swim for a while.  It's been years since I've been in the sea'.


'Are you sure?  I don't know how to swim, eh.  Besides, it's cold.  You're going to freeze.'


'Everything's fine.  I'll go in for a while and then come back.  Stay here.  And don't ogle me'.


You move away running in a skimpy swimsuit.  The wind is cold, but you know that once you're in the water, you won't feel it so much.  You duck under the water (zambullir) twice without thinking.  It's freezing.  You swim to get warm, and little by little you manage to do it.  You look where Pepo is, and he greets you.


You dive.  The water is rough.  It envelops and shakes you, trying to drag you far from the shore, and pulls you down until you lose your bearings.  You are afraid.  You wave your arms about (bracear) desperately, and only with great effort do you manage to rise to the surface.  You breathe deeply to fill your lungs with air.  You want to cry.  You look for Pepo with a glance.  He isn't there.


Yes, there you see him, but not where you left him.  He ran to the shore and is gesticulating frenetically with his arms, shaking his cap from one side to the other.  You raise your thumb to calm him down and let him know you're fine and didn't drown.  But it doesn't stop him.  On the contrary, he screams at you, but you can't hear his voice.  He's making gestures to save you.  Then you notice:  fear is transforming his face.


Following his glance, you turn around to look underwater.  A viscous extremity surrounds you.  You see a mouth that resembles a beak, gills (branquia), black eyes without an iris or pupils, scales, claws, lips, suckers (ventosa), and other tentacles that hold you down.  They drag you to the bottomless depths, where nothing can live or die.  END".



As shown by the drawing, it's a more octopus-like Argentine Cthulhu instead of the humanoid wish-granting variety.  The last line suggests an eternal limbo, placing it in the Bad Non-Death Ending category.


So Pepo is definitely cursed.  No ending with him involved turns out well.  And Poli faces no liability lawsuits when one of his hotel guests faces a similar fate, as he can warp existence to make everything work out for him.


No Me Llames Tami has rather unpredictable paths resulting from CHOICEs, similar to La Isla de los Dodos.  It's not the best gamebook, but you may want to read it just to see all the bizarre endings.

For this path, I'll have to go back to CHOICE #4 and leave the hotel room at night.


I try to look for a room with some neighbors in case anything goes wrong.  Floor 2 is out because it has the larger, more expensive rooms.  On Floor 4, I have some success and reach a room near where several people can be heard.


But this new room is identical to 327, except it doesn't have beds or night tables.  There's an industrial freezer inside, and what looks like a dentist's chair.  The room has a door to the next room instead of a bathroom.  I hide in a hole between the freezer and the window in case someone's coming.  


A "skinny and nervous man" wearing jeans and a striped shirt appears.  He knocks on the other door and falls into the dentist's chair.  He seems to be 50, but is oddly childlike.  Another man and a woman appear, wearing plastic gloves and a headscarf under their chins.


There seem to be blood bags as well.  The man in the chair says "I don't want to come again.  I feel hungry, I feel that they smell me.  It's dangerous.  Besides, I'm tired.  I have all veins to misery. (?)  They promised me a cure.  I'm paying for that, right?  Piles of money, fortunes.  Tell me I have that at least.  Cure me".


The "doctors" seem to be performing a blood test, but something's not right about this.


CHOICE #15 is either to crouch down where I am, or try to find a better hiding place between the "motor" of the freezer and the wall.


The next paragraph starts with "You never believed that you could stay still for so much time." and goes on to discuss how Tamara controls her breathing to avoid being caught.  But that's not much use.  The people in this room may be engaged in a conspiracy against me, and make vague comments like "We have to be discreet.  Discretion is slow".  "And expensive", says the patient.  Now they suspect I'm in the room, and shout "Look for her and bring her!"


The patient is trying to sniff me out.  My only chances in CHOICE #16 are to either jab him with syringes, or try to push the freezer onto him. 


Poking him with the syringes succeeds at first.  Tamara lands several blows in the neck and arm.  But then a more realistic bad ending than some of the others occurs.


"The man-child turned out to be the last heir of the only notable family of Santa Lucía:  landlords and regents of the Gran Hotel Marino, owners for life (titulares vitalicios) of the resort concession.  And an unbroken line of managers (intendentes) through successive generations, owners in the shadows of the call shop, the 'fichines', and the pedestrian grocery stores (?).


His death is a scandal.  Your story is confused and your actions dubious.  It doesn't take long for you to be condemned to the greatest possible punishment:  a life sentence.


You live through the interrogations, the pressure, the judicial process, the blows and the insults from an infinite distance.  Nothing touches you.  The only thing you see (because your eyes now see nothing), every day, every hour, is the air dissolving in the vein, the panic, the mute accusation, the infinite guilt. 


You, Tami, killed a man.  You saw him die.  You wanted him to die.  And in that instant that he died, something in you broke forever.  You can only wish that they will never let you leave again, that Poli understands that you don't want to see him, that they punish you, that you hurt, that you have an 'accident' soon, like they promised.  END".


Some lines had words so obscure even my Spanish dictionary sites were stumped.  Tamara unknowingly killed a man with connections, and in Santa Lucía, I'm surprised she got life in prison rather than sent to a void for eternity.

Let's murder the most prominent man in town with a freezer instead of syringes in CHOICE #16!


"Ignoring the shaking of your hands, you push the freezer, making it fall, and to your surprise, directly onto the man-child.  He doesn't manage to scream or even to make any sound at all:  the only thing you hear is the noise of bones breaking, followed by a din of broken glass.  When you stand out to see what happened, you prove that his brain split like a nut".


In parentheses, Tamara says this:  "I killed him I killed him it can't be I killed him what do I do what do I do" without punctuation.


Somehow, I manage to "skate on the blood".  I'm not so graceful on the stairs and twist my ankle.  Then some acid burns my clothes and creates "greenish smoke".  I only find out what causes this hours later, when I discover my knees and chest are burned too.


My brain is overwhelmed by the sensory stimulation, such as a rotten fish smell, a metallic taste, and the floor moving.  This seems to because millions of worms (lombrices) are covering the town.


The next vehicle heading to "Retiro" comes in 9 hours, and I rest on a bench.  I think about my grandma saying something about "always made a bun in the pocket", which must be some obscure Spanish idiom I can't find.


"Let's see, Poli, how the hell do you want me to tell you?  Whether you go along or don't, you have no idea how bad things went for me.'


'Are you telling me that because an old jerk chatted with you in the bus, I have to smoke weed (fumarse el garrón?) to get here?  Get out of here. . .You must have been kidnapped by a cult.


You are never going to understand because you didn't tell the truth to Poli:  if what happened was that, by means of you going away from Santa Lucía, you began to convince yourself that everything had been a product of an emotional overload or an excited imagination.  Or if the grudge you hold against your brother for his disdain (displicencia) and self-confidence (desenfado) bad you look for a way to feel what it's like to be in your shoes.


The second possibility shames you so much that, little by little, you are going to bury yourself in confused and distorted images that sum up your stay (estadía) in Santa Lucía.


Poli prepares the bag with the same lack of worry that he has had his entire life, and the next day, he takes the bus to the coastal town.  When you both say goodbye, you feel that bittersweet enthusiasm transmitted to you that you have when you revisit a scene from your childhood.


But it only lasts a second.  That childhood remains buried under a mattress of withered leaves and dead worms.  END?  NOT FOR EVERYONE".



Clicking on the link at the end of this page takes you to Llámame Poli and CHOICE #11.  Instead of Genie Cthulhu transporting you into your brother's body, you merely change your player character from Tamara to Poli.


It seems to be a Bad Non-Death Ending for Tamara.  She'll obviously have some mental problems following the whole hotel freezer murder and the weirdness in Santa Lucía.


This book is difficult to translate compared to the other Spanish CYOAs, in case you're wondering about the weird text in the endings.  The authors must be VERY Argentine, and expect their readers to be intimately familiar with their dialect.


EDIT:  This should take us to the halfway point of this playthrough.  What will be in store for Tamara for the next few posts?

My attempt to hide myself a little better in CHOICE #15 doesn't work out either.  My skirt is caught up in something iron (?) in the freezer.  The people in this room hear me and then cover my face with wet cotton.


"Light filters into your heavy and bleary eyelashes.  It's hard to separate your eyelids.  You try to rub your eyes but you don't manage to raise your hand.  Your body weighs you down.  You want to speak but your mouth is dry, and your tongue is fat and dead against the palate. 


Time passes.  Little by little you manage to open your eyes, but the light hurts you.  You twist your neck, letting your head fall to the side.  Your leg, your arm.  Pipes.  Dark tubes of thick blood.  Half-full plastic bags.  The ceiling, the lamp.  Your arm.  More bags.  Bruises.  You try to shake yourself above the needles, but it's in vain.  You don't have the strength.  The last thing you see is the green leather of the chair.


The following night, your bloodless body is thrown into the sea from a nameless boat (lancha).  For months that become years, Poli tries to find you, but he can't even discover that once you reached Santa Lucía".


Poli is successful at everything except detective work, I guess.  But then again, Tamara is jinxed in most timelines, so can you blame him?


"Lancha" is less common than other words for "boat", making me wonder about how idiosyncratic the prose really is.

Don't go to the bathroom on the Edward Packard bus in CHOICE #3.  It will only end badly.


"You begin to regret your choice to have asked permission from your companion in the other seat, in a deep sleep.  Of course, he doesn't bother to get up, and you have to slide to get past him.  It doesn't surprise you that he exhales a kind of rough whine when his muscles rub his knees.


The door to the bathroom is, effectively closed.  The stains of diverse colors that adorn it and its stickiness take your breath away, but even so you lift your arm to do it.  You hardly tap your knuckles on the grimy surface, and the door opens and reveals what's inside.


'Hello', you say to a little girl who's between the toilet and the sink.  Her large black eyes and the two dirty trails that tears left on her face make you forget the mystery of the text message.  You approach and talk to her in the most maternal tone you are capable of:  'Are you alone?'


You are startled so much by a door slam into your back, you forget the exact moment in which the girl's eyes begin to change colors.  Black, gray, white.  The progressive shine of her pupils disconcerts you in a way that makes you watch her mouth agape. 


In fact, several seconds pass until you notice that the girl's face and whole body begins to have another consistency.  You feel a tickling in the neck and a pressure on your stomach:  the girl is melting.  Suddenly, you are conscious of the fact that you aren't seeing a girl melting.


You see yourself, Tamara, while your expression of confusion becomes a sardonic smile.  The last thing you see before becoming a pool of blood is the impostor Tamara leaving the bathroom door without bothering to close it.  For some reason, you suspect your travel companions will never reach Santa Lucía.  END".


So going to a bathroom on a bus results in a demon girl stealing your identity and becoming a pool of blood.  It's implied the fake Tamara will murder the other passengers too.
