THE WAR ON YULETIDE

[ At some point, D.Va will be receiving a text: ]

happy☆day: It has begun, it has begun!

[ And then a pin is dropped on her map, indicating the Escape Room. There are no further texts. ]

Escape Room Lobby

[idolpro]

[ Welcome to the REAL ESCAPE ROOM lobby! It's not particularly notable, aside from the list of available rooms, but that's not what you're here for, is it?

The door to the basement has a note with printed text on it: ]

PAST THIS DOOR IS NOW HER DOMAIN
THE DANGERS CONTAINED WITHIN CANNOT BE PREDICTED
PREPARE YOURSELVES
AND DO NOT ALLOW HER TO SING
REMEMBER,
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS,
HAPPENS BECAUSE OF YOU.

[ Once everyone is ready, you can head inside. ]

[ and womp. i forgot to reply here first! but she's going to snatch the note off the door, read it aloud to everybody, and then pocket it. ]

Alright. We need to be careful of the siren's song.

Oh good, it's that whole thing again. Happens because of us, yeah fuckin' right whatever.

WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[idolpro]

[ Welcome to The Dread Queen of Yuletide's Winter Wonderland. The group finds themselves in a room where the ground is coated in snow - actual snow! It's cold here, and there's not much besides all these oversized toys.

It's eerily silent, and...do the eyes of those nutcrackers follow you through the room?

The only exit is north, through the door or back out to the lobby. ]

[420blazeit]

I am not a fan of those things... [ she is going to stare at the nutcrackers, because they're legit giving her the mcfucken creeps. ]

[ also,
she's shivering. ]

...oh come the fuck on...

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[irregular]

What the actual fuck is this.

[K does not appreciate this escape room of reject toys.

[What happens if he flips one off.]

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[bondsofsuffering]

...Good thing he soundproofed our gear.

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[420blazeit]

Yeah. We still don't want her to open her mouth though. Could be dangerous.

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[irregular]

Shoulda expected they'd find a way to fuck up Christmas. They fucked up everything else, right?

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[justfuckingtryit]

Wasn't a bad call.

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[justfuckingtryit]

The fuck's with all these toys?

[He has a newly taser-added Dragon Whisker in one hand]

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[420blazeit]

Christmas presents?

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[irregular]

Looks like some kinda fucked-up department store or something.

[failedsafe]

Snoooow!

[420blazeit]

If it wasn't so FREAKING COLD I could probably enjoy it more, but it's FUCKEN FREEZING in here.

[justfuckingtryit]

I want to know how they got it inside.

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 1

[420blazeit]

Are you guys ready to move on? It doesn't seem like much is going on in here? [ she starts making her way to the north. ]

WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 2

[idolpro]

[ Uh...is this a forest? It seems like a forest. There's paper trees everywhere. So it probably qualifies as a forest, right?

More importantly, there's a bunch of people dancing here. They're all...children and...elves? Or just non-elves in weird Christmas leotards. Who knows. They don't seem to pay the party much mind, though those two skating Santae sure do like cutting in front of everyone, constantly.

It's no longer eerily silent here. The music doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere in particular.

Ahead of you is the Queen's palace, as foreboding as it is mirthful and full of holiday spirit. ]

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 2

[420blazeit]

[ she is going to trip one of the santae if they don't cut it out... ]

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 2

[irregular]

That. That's a Santa.

[Hey, what do you know, this is an educational time for all of us.]

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 2

[justfuckingtryit]

Why are there kids here?

[failedsafe]

This holiday sure is something.

Re: WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 2

[420blazeit]

[ WE ARE MAKING A BREAK FOR IT, SANTAE BE DAMNED. ]

[ RUNNING IN THE 90s CHRISTMAS REMIX,
but also we're maybe sticking to the trees??? ]

WINTER WONDERLAND - FLOOR 3

[beautifulend]

[ The party enters the Queen's palace. There is only one room. There are no exits.

The music is almost unbearably loud, and there, in the center of the stage - there she is. The Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Has Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons.

She fixes her gaze on each of the idols assembled before her, a look of utter peace and serenity on her face. She does not speak, but the words can be felt seared into one's mind nonetheless. ]

[ She does not yet attack.

What do you do? The music grows louder. ]
