LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 1

[idolpro]

Once you enter the door, you find yourself passing through, uh -



This front yard? It seems you've found yourself in some sort of dolphin mansion.

FOYER

[idolpro]

Passing through the front door, you reach the manor's foyer:



There's not much to say here that isn't evident. Besides the the music playing from the surround sound system and whatever is going on with the interior design, it's a regular foyer.

The stairs both lead to the same place, and you think you see a bar off to the right? A door behind the staircase leads elsewhere.

[leaveofabsence]

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but it was not this.

Re: FOYER

[childeishly]

Is that supposed to be incentive for me to help stop whatever the heck going on? [ honestly, bring on the chaos. ]

[ she immediately goes to the bar to see if there's anything worth taking from it. ]

Re: FOYER

[skyshard]

... [ ok Aether's going to try these poor excuses for stairs. ]

Re: FOYER

[childeishly]

[ so now that he's had a drink he's going to check out the door behind the stairs, since everybody seems to be piling on up there. ]

KITCHEN

[idolpro]

The kitchen isn't really overwhelming, but it's not underwhelming, either. It's just sort of whelming. You're very whelmed. The speakers agree with this opinion.

The counter is clogged with a variety of useless kitchen gadgets to the point where you're not sure anyone has ever used any of this counter space. In the back of the kitchen is a fridge, and next to that is a bowl on the part of the counter between the fridge and oven.

There is another door here, but you can also leave the way you came.

Re: KITCHEN

[childeishly]

[ so he's going to take a look around the kitchen for anything sharp. and then make a pit stop at the fridge, because if he's going to put strange liquids into himself, then he might as well follow up with some strange foods. ]

Re: KITCHEN

[skyshard]

[ well, while everyone starts discussing what they find or didn't find or what it all means, Aether is going to the kitchen himself now, to glance around since there's indecisions about mirrors and things. Also he has nothing to add to the discussion.

He's going to check out the other door that's here since apparently Childe and Ali already got the fridge and kitchen. ]

Re: KITCHEN

[weenwoon]

[I DESIRE TO SEE THE FRIDGE]

Re: KITCHEN

[420blazeit]

[ she's going to make a pit stop at the fridge. can bathtub juice be combined with whatever she finds in there? we need to make the ultimate drink, ok! ]

BATHROOM

[idolpro]

There are…so many dolphin statues in this bathroom. So many! You can barely move without knocking over a dolphin statue. Besides those, there's a basin which seems to have a faucet attached but it's not really clear, and a weird toilet and a bathtub with the curtain drawn.

Accompanying the endless dolphin parade is this.

The only way out is back from where you came.

Re: BATHROOM

[skyshard]

[ what is this!

Aether blinks, confused before he decides to squeeze his way in and avoids the statues super much ly as best he can,!! at least so he can reach for the bathtub curtain and pull it aside. ]

Re: BATHROOM

[weenwoon]

[guess he's gonna trip over some dolphins and then just sit among them with his head in his hands after the Fun Mirror Breaking Time :( ]

MIRROR ROOM

[idolpro]

This room is a maze of mirrors, filled with bedroom furniture that is also covered in mirrors, each of which reflects your very soul. Every possible version of you that you could ever be is here, staring at you silently. It's almost judgmental, really! As soon as you step forward, however, a laser fires from above your head and into the mirror immediately ahead of you - it rebounds from there to all the others, and as it does each reflection (from the benign to the utterly monstrous!) begins to dance to the beat, as the room becomes saturated with technicolour light and sound.

Regardless of whether or not you find this disconcerting, you also literally cannot anything besides the reflections through all these lasers. Holy fuck. It seems the only way forward is to channel the powers of the ancient Laser Masters…

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[scattershot]

[you were right Zhongli this room was a terrible idea on every level]

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[weenwoon]

[ABSOLUTELY LOSING HIS TINY WEENWOON MIND AT ALL THE COLOURS AND MUSIC]

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[childeishly]

[ all this judging starts fucking with his green soaked head, so the moment he's able to rush by everybody else he does so; transforming on the spot into a t-rex. holding the sword in his mouth he swings it around with ease, stomping around and smashing the mirrors with his tail and his feets and SURE, WHY NOT, THOSE NUBBY ARMS. those get flailed around too! ]

[ he's just going to go on a rampage through this room. it must die. ]

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[leaveofabsence]

[ What if he just closes his eyes and tries to walk through the now ruined mirror maze, tapping the walls with the butt of his polearm Heart Weapon as he goes. ]

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[skyshard]

[ what the hell happened here anyway. Yeah, uhm, he's just gonna watch a minute before starting to mimic the moves his reflections are doing !

This place's owner seems to really like music in this house, so... ]

Re: MIRROR ROOM

[420blazeit]

[ she makes it to the room late with starbucks and she's shivering like she's dealing with the sheer cold. ]

GAME ROOM

[idolpro]

You enter the Game Room, and...

It's actually like, relatively normal? There's just a pool table and a card table with what you'd expect on them, as well as a sofa and a fireplace. A door leads out to the balcony, and beyond that - you can hear the braying of what is surely The Hound. The end is near! You can hear the sound of hope!

In addition, upon entering the room, something appears in your hand.

CONGRATULATIONS! GET EQUIPPED WITH:

The Laser Mäster's Laser Taser

This...this is just a taser that doubles as a ridiculously powerful laser pointer. Seriously, it's so bright and thick it seems like you could slice straight through durasteel! But it doesn't do that at all. Really, it's just some sort of strange self-defense tool for people who are also lightshow technicians, which also happens to fill you with the Power of Dancefighting.

Its "blade" makes you wonder...what exactly are you fighting for? The storyline seems a little dubious.

Re: GAME ROOM

[420blazeit]

[ she's going to take a seat on the couch and coil her tail around herself. stupid cold coming and going. ]

BACKYARD

[idolpro]

A pool and roman statues. Also, more dolphins. This place is starting to seem like it's not particularly thematically coherent.

A staircase leads down to the ground level, but there doesn't seem to be anything of note out here at the moment. There's not even music playing.

Re: BACKYARD

[childeishly]

[ what if... he goes into the pool and turns into a dolphin? ]

BOSS FIGHT

[idolpro]

Bounding over the fence is...is...!

An abnormally large puppy?

Upon seeing so many people in once place, it yips excitedly and approaches.

FIGHT START?

BOSS ACTION

[idolpro]

At the speed of dog, The Hound excitedly jumps up on each and every member of the party, knocking them down!

The Hound licks the faces of D.va, Aether, and Glaze Lily, inflicting them with Slobber! Which...doesn't really do anything, it's just gross and probably should be wiped off before it gets in anyone's eyes, because that'd be really inconvenient.
