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.

You head up the stairs, but you find that a fantastical laser show depicting a dog playing fetch appears right before your very eyes forms a solid barrier that prevents you from going all the way up. Or you might just be about to have a seizure from the flashing lights and air horn noises, who knows.

At any rate, it is just light so you might be able to walk through it if you really want to.

[ this house is so tacky

They don't exactly have lasers where he's from, but they do have asshole magical barriers, so he's tentatively shoving his arm through to see what happens. Limbs are expendable. ]

[idolpro]

Venti has been afflicted with ONE of the following effects:

- Compelled to obey dog commands (sit, stay, heel, etc)

- Freezing cold when not in contact with someone real

- Crushing loneliness

[outofoffice]

[ Oh hey! This SUCKS!

Freezing in place with his arm stuck in a dog movie, trembling slightly. ]

[gravitydefier]

[why are you like this.

and going to pull him back, out of the barrier.]

[outofoffice]

[ He's very easy to pull.

And is also fine as soon as Xiao touches him . . . ? ]

Ah . . .

That was weird.

[bondsofsuffering]

[He will hold an arm out to stop the others following him from continuing to walk forward, hopefully.]

That's... probably not good either.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, but it's notable light shit. This is what the note was talking about, probably.

[sunflowering]

[ . . . !! ]

That's true, isn't it?

[ She is armed with TWO BOTTLES OF THE STUFF. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

"Drag them into the light of a good time."

We already know there's weird stuff that happens if it spills, so if we're going to use it now, we should figure out how to do it carefully.

[sunflowering]

[ Peering around him. ]

You don't think it's safe to pass through?

[ Oh but then Venti and Sakura are here. ]

Oh...

[sunflowering]

. . . Weird.

[ Staring at the light... ]

We can just go through it, can't we?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

It's just light, isn't it? So...yes?

[sunflowering]

[ Something just happened to Venti, though... ]

. . . Maybe we can find a way to break the lights? Otherwise, there has to be a way through it all.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

What, like, go through with a coat over your head?

[bondsofsuffering]

Do you have any unit abilities?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Nope, haven't bought any.

[romanticlove]

I think we should try to turn the lights off first if we can.

[romanticlove]

[What is with this light show?! Her eyes! Her ears!]

Is there a switch to turn it off...?

[Looking for a switch or a plug or something!]

[idolpro]

High above your head, say, perhaps, exactly twenty feet - there seems to be a set of projectors and what looks like a keyhole.

Or just a thin slit, but it seems like it could probably be turned if you could stick something that fits in it.

[romanticlove]

[Looking round the room for something to climb, otherwise like stand on someone's shoulders????]

Everyone, look.

[She points up at the projectors.]

[sunflowering]

Oh...

[ She's glancing around at everyone. ]

So there really has to be a way to turn it off. Did anyone see a ladder, earlier?

[ Or... looking around a little. Is there any way to climb up? ]

[gravitydefier]

[looking up at the projectors. and also examining the surroundings to see if there's anything to parkour up.]

[outofoffice]

[ Also peering up.





UGH. GLIDING WOULD BE FASTER. ]

[bloodyrose]

Someone could stand on my shoulders and I'll lift them from there.
