LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 4

[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.

GAME ROOM

[idolpro]

You enter the Game Room, and...

It's actually 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! If you'd like, you can always turn tail and run.

FOR PINK

[idolpro]

In addition, upon entering the room, something appears in Pink's 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: FOR PINK

[worldlyafflictions]

He's the lastt.. laaser master...

Well, we're here ta distract a dog I guess. Are they that interested in lights?

Re: FOR PINK

[quickpersuader]

Aren't you supposed to throw sticks or balls for them to play with?

Re: FOR PINK

[worldlyafflictions]

[... Spins the laser taser the way he uses his khakkhara, instant spinny light show]

Seems more interested in dolphins. Or maybe that's NafunAI's taste?

Re: FOR PINK

[quickpersuader]

I've given up trying to understand the aesthetic here.

Re: GAME ROOM

[quickpersuader]

[Examining the card table with the dull exasperation of frankly expecting the cards to like, leap off the table and attack or something.]

Re: GAME ROOM

[heavyliesthecrown]

This room seems a little more comfortable than the others at least?

[ Wandering over to inspect it with him. ]

Re: GAME ROOM

[quickpersuader]

For now.

[They seem unconvinced.]

Re: GAME ROOM

[heavyliesthecrown]

We'll be more careful this time around.

Re: GAME ROOM

[inspiteful]

Just wait until something ridiculous happens.

Re: GAME ROOM

[heavyliesthecrown]

We can hope that we don't trigger any sort of ridiculous mess this time around.

Re: GAME ROOM

[irregular]

Seen anything?

Re: GAME ROOM

[quickpersuader]

There's a ticket with the cards. I'm going to ask Kasa to pick it up with a feint.

[For SOME REASON they're reluctant to touch anything now. Weird!]

Re: GAME ROOM

[irregular]

There's some tickets over here? "Tickets to Paradise". Doesn't seem ominous at all, right?

Re: GAME ROOM

[quickpersuader]

This one is a "one way ticket to midnight."

[So

even more ominous!]

Re: GAME ROOM

[idolpro]

You check out the card table! There's just a bunch of playing cards as well as the rarest trading cards, but they're all shitty jpegs and also possibly photocopied? Damn...

There is, however, a One Way Ticket to Midnight amongst the cards.

Re: GAME ROOM

[quickpersuader]

[...

To Kasa:]

Could you pick up that ticket with a feint?

[Trust nothing.]

Re: GAME ROOM

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He's looking at the trading cards like HE REALLY WANTS THE TRADING CARDS. He loves.... cards. And dueling.

Why are they just jpegs though... ]

A feint? Sure-

[ He makes another double of himself, and without hesitation, it reaches out to pick up the ticket. ]

CONGRATULATIONS! GET EQUIPPED WITH:

One-Way Ticket to Midnight

CALL IT
HEAVY METAL

When used, this ticket sets the local time of the immediately surrounding 30km radius area to midnight, where it stays until the rest of Tokyo-F also reaches midnight. Also, everyone in the area is forced to listen to this until the effect ends.

Re: GAME ROOM

[irregular]

[Ooh, a pool cue, never know when you might need one of those. Mine. K swings it a couple of times, experimentally.

[K's going to examine the pool table itself while he's here.]

Re: GAME ROOM

[idolpro]

It's just a normal pool table, except all the balls are eight balls and also it has red felt, which is kind of weird but whatever.

In the middle, below an eight ball are two tickets to Paradise.

Re: GAME ROOM

[irregular]

[> examine Tickets to Paradise]

Re: GAME ROOM

[idolpro]

CONGRATULATIONS! GET EQUIPPED WITH:

Two Tickets to Paradise

PACK YOUR BAGS
WE'LL LEAVE TONIGHT

When either ticket is used, the holders of both are sent to the nearest conbini, dropped off in front of the apparently rebranded slushie machines, which will immediately dispense a free fruit smoothie for each of them. They will return to the spot they were originally in five seconds later.

(Wait, are these even tickets? These are just advertisement leaflets with highly compressed images of parrots printed on them.)

Re: GAME ROOM

[irregular]

[... sure, why not.

[A free fruit smoothbie is a free fruit smoothie.

[Anything else of note round here?]
