YULETIDE 2 - BATTLE 5

[idolpro]

[ Once you enter the Escape Room, a series of messages pops up on your phones: ]

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wellll it looks like Naffy's out of commission? It'll take her awhile to reboot with how hard she just got hit by the autocensor!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Whatever you did, it really made her mad! Haha!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway since I know what's going on now, I'm happy to help! It looks like the nature of the threat is a gang war between an evil thought sealed and another that you all and your fans helped to return to the world of the not-so-living? Wild!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: In case you didn't get the memo, this means you're going to explore the combination WcDonald's and Damned Queen's Cookies!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There you'll find something you're looking for, probably…? But mostly you're looking for a way to contain the outbreaks!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: And fortunately, we've received a message from a friendly entity known only as "The Borger King", who apparently has a stake in the downfall of Lonard's lost empire…
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: It says:
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There is a war going on for your mind. Steal their secrets. Create the Ultimate Prankburger. The king awaits. Salvation will come.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wow! It looks like it's time for corporate espionage, or something?
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway, you get to keep everything you find, unless it's a dolphin! That's mine.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Better get going! Charge!!!!!


[ And then everything goes white... ]

[okay, this is weird. going to investigate whatever is on the counter.]

Um. Hello?

[idolpro]

Displayed for sale are BOMBS, LAMP OIL, ROPE, and one set of DAMNED QUEEN'S COOKIES(6) with a complimentary HANDWRITTEN NOTE.

There is also a free sample of DAMNED QUEEN'S COOKIES(1).

You think you should come back when you're a little…mmmmm…richer.

[irregular]

[Is there any chance of stealing something like the DELINQUENT that he is. Bad End gonna Bad End.]

[idolpro]

You cannot steal while the SHOPKEEPER is watching.

Furthermore, stealing from the Damned Queen's Store will carry severe penalties if you ever return to this lobby.

[All right, K guesses he'll be keeping that idea in reserve just in case he needs to come back to it. No point setting all his bridges on fire immediately.

[Guess he'll take the free sample to make his loitering look a little less loiter-y. Does he have to eat this immediately?]

[idolpro]

Roll 1d10.

[irregular]

[7.

[Is that good? Not sure if eating this is a smart idea.]

[idolpro]

Tastes like honey.

[irregular]

[that's suspiciously normal.

[K checks himself over to make sure he isn't about to die of cookie poisoning.]

[idolpro]

Nah, you seem to be doing pretty okay. Maybe you feel a little Yuletide spirit? But like, only if you know what Yuletide is culturally and also generally are affected by holiday decorations. Cookie seems to be normal.

[irregular]

[Huh.

[Okay, what's in the freezer?]

[idolpro]

Proceed.

[romanticlove]

K, right?

[Small wave.]

I was talking to Serenity about the three of us sticking together when we decide to move on. I hope that's okay?

[irregular]

Huh? Oh, yeah, that's fine.

I was gonna go check the freezer?

[romanticlove]

We can start there, then, and see what we can find.
