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... ]

[ Another from side that could have gone better appears!



. . . Some weird Pokemon-lookin thing that's soaked, covered in pie filling, and very much dead. ]

[sangreine]

[ After she and Lupine come up for air what this is tradition now, Aliza is making her way through the others and noting their various states of alive-ness, when ]

[ the hell? ]

[ She looks around again, counting people, and -- ah. ]

You look like things could've gone better. [ Yes she knows he's dead, she doesn't care. She takes out the handkerchief that she keeps on her (for when she bites people) and cleans off the pie filling. ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ YES, GIVE HIS SPRITELY CORPSE DIGNITY IN DEATH

He loves you Ali-Rin ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[sangreine]

[ SHE'S GOT YOU BUD ]

[ Just getting him as clean as possible, sadly dry might be a bit much to ask for but she tears off a piece of her skirt to give it the old vampire try. ]

You're coming with me, sir. We'll find someone to fix you up. Lupine and I have some pointed requests once you get back to normal. [ Too bad about the dead-and-teeny thing, status effects like theirs deserve to be used to the fullest advantage. ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ Fortunately Kino comes and takes pity on him. He wobbles upright once he's awake, trembling slightly. ]

Uuuughh . . .

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[sangreine]

Poor Venti. Sorry for whatever happened in there.

[ Gives him a headsmooch ]

I've got you, don't worry.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ It's like kissing a tiny, warm cloud

He wriggles a little, teeny tiny wisp nubbins patting at her face ]

Ali-Rin, are you okay?

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[at_heart]

[ Well. Shit. This makes sense to him, honestly, after the pile of feathers. Also going to kneel down to check over the little sprite-thing.

His first concern is the cold. It's way too cold here to be wet, even if you are dead. Once Kino gets to you, you'll do better if you're not soaking wet and covered in pie. ]

Man, what happened on your side.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ DON'T GO NEAR ORBS, LUPINE!!!!!! ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[at_heart]

[ His player really wanted to make a dirty joke about that being more difficult for some people to avoid than others, but yeah, what if just. Bringing you to Kino?

...Can you heal in this form? ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ It seems that he can, since he immediately darts upright after being healed. ]

Nnnnn . . . .

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[at_heart]

[ Guh, catching? Look, you seem disoriented, what if you fall. ]

—Hey.

[ You can talk? Maybe?? ]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ HE CAN WHINE, TOO ]

Lupiiiiiiiiine . . .

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[quickpersuader]

[???? What is this thing.

It seems to be dead though and Lupine and Alizarin seem concerned so they'll go ahead and spark the little sprite back to life, I guess?]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ Bless you Kino.

The little thing shoots straight up, then starts trembling slightly. ]

Uh-- huh???

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[quickpersuader]

Um... Hello. Are you alright?

[They still have no idea what the fuck this thing is.]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ No but let's take inventory of various status effects later, shall we? ]

I am now . . . thank you.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[quickpersuader]

You're welcome. ...I can't really heal anything myself, so hopefully this is enough for now.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

Oh!

[ Sitting up a little straighter ]

I can heal, though! Are you injured . . . ?

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[overworker]

[Once she's revived, Serenity hurries to look for Venti. Crawling her burnt and frozen and bloodied ass over to him.]

Oh no... [Gently cleaning him off so she can pet sprite friend...]

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ thank u. his arms are too tiny to clean himself ]

Serenity . . .

It got you and Ren, didn't it? I couldn't see what happened very well . . .

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[overworker]

Mm... it was the orb... just like you said.

The item I found managed to save the others but-- well. It couldn't protect us thanks to that. I hoped at least you would be spared but... sorry...

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ Attempting to bop her with one little nubbin arm ]

Don't apologize for things that weren't your doing, especially when you suffered too.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[overworker]

[Lets herself be bop'd. Wipes the blood from her mouth with a soft giggle and lifts him up so she can kiss the top of his tiny head.]

Okay... no more apologies then.

Re: VICTORY PLATFORM

[outofoffice]

[ His teeny wings flap happily ]

Good.

Do you have any injuries you think could be healed? I know I won't be able to fix some of these, but . . .
