LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 3

[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.

It wasn't hilarious at all.

[ Except she was laughing through part of it too...

Either way, she notices the way his vision slides off her. ]

Anyway... I found a note that accompanied these drinks. Don't drink them by the way, one dropped and it had a strange effect.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Huh, yeah, I saw that. I found some weird water too, but it was in a bathtub. And it dissolved the shit I threw into it, so don't drink that either.

What'd the note say?

[sunflowering]

Don't trust anything here I guess...

[ She pulls out the note to show him though. ]

Does the last part mean anything to you?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Nah, can't say I've seen anything notable, light-wise. Maybe it's somewhere else?

That, or maybe it's supposed to mean we should get all fucked up on the weird water, in which case, nice job.

[sunflowering]

It wasn't intensional.

[ UGH.... ]

Where did you go? Did you find anything else?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I went through the kitchen behind the stairs. It was just full of junk and this big fucking sword. Could always give it another look, I guess.

[sunflowering]

Anything special about the sword? I suppose we could go look in case something was missed.

. . . I suppose the others went upstairs, though.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

It was the only sharp thing in the kitchen. And it was long, I mean really fucking long. Like from here to there.

[points to about 20 feet away]

[sunflowering]

Eh... I thought maybe we could steal that too. But unless we can find AlcheME that probably isn't going to happen.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Well, if you're looking for something to steal, it was full of shit you could take. There were these...glass bottle things. Could use 'em to take some of the weird water with you.

[sunflowering]

[ Reaching into her purse to show him a bottle of some sort of green liquid. ]

We did that with the drinks here. Though I wonder if that water wouldn't just dissolve things. It's something to consider, anyway.

[ Hmm. ]

Maybe that wouldn't be bad as a defense though? If we have to fight some creepy thing and we throw water on it that can make it dissolve, that would surely deter it I think.

What do you think you'd like to do?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

...Try mixing them together?

[sunflowering]

Ehh... that sounds sort of dangerous, but I guess that could be an even more dangerous weapon.

[ Doing science... ]

What does everyone else think? Do you want to become mad scientists?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Why not? It's that or take a look upstairs.

[sunflowering]

Let's do that first, and then head on upstairs then. I'll pour a glass bottle from the empty bottles I found behind the bar.

[ And pouring another mug in. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

We're only allowed to mix them if we can make sure we're out of the contamination zone if it turns out to create a gas or a splash. We don't exactly have safety gear to protect us against whatever it turns into, after all.

[bloodyrose]

[A nod.]

It's too risky to try and pour one into the other.

[sunflowering]

I have an idea.

[ Listen to her idea. ]

I'm going to pour another one of those mugs into one of the bottles behind the bar. And then... we throw it into the room from a distance and see what happens.

[bloodyrose]

Or just straight up manipulation or brainwashing.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

That's what I said, get fucked up on the weird water.

Or...no, I take that back. I didn't get fucked up from the weird water in the bathtub. That happened when I broke one of the ugly little dolphins in the bathroom. So maybe it means get fucked up and break shit, instead.

[bloodyrose]

Did the water have any odor?

[It's possible.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, it smelled fucking delicious.

[bloodyrose]

Sure. . . . . .

[Not buying this exactly.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[he is only reporting the facts!]

You can give it a sniff yourself. Bathroom's right back that way, past the kitchen.

[points to the door behind the staircase]

[bloodyrose]

I'll pass.

[For now.]
