1 - BASEMENT

[idolpro]

[ The room's stench is the first thing you notice upon waking up: it's an unpleasant mix of incense, smoke, and metal. Although the room is poorly lit, the light from the standing torches show that the room is quite big…and quite crowded.

Not with living people, of course. You find yourselves surrounded by corpses, mutilated beyond recognition. Vaguely humanoid shapes and limbs indicate these used to be humans, probably…?

The metal smell is more easily identifiable as blood, now—though even if you could not make the connection, the floor is sticky with pools and rivers of red, so it's quite easy to tell that these—people?—met their end right here. In the dim light, it seems like the blood flows more easily than blood rightfully ought to.

Yet, you won't find even a drop of blood on yourself, or even near your body. In fact, the carnage is absent on both your clothes as well as the ground immediately surrounding you, which is just as well because the blood would have otherwise obfuscated the white-chalked summoning circle that surrounds the idols.

You're situated in the center of the room. You can hear running and dripping water in the distance. A button sits on a pedestal nearby - it reads “RESET”.
Against the north is what looks like a map - of what, you can’t tell from where you are.
To the east you can see…water? Blood? pooling at the base of the wall.
Against the south is a table, with an oil lantern and various other objects sitting on it.
Against the west wall is a closed wooden door. ]

STARTING EVENT

[idolpro]

It seems your arrival was not entirely without injury, however: the second they stand up, there's a sudden PFT noise from one of the walls and Lucifel finds themself struck in the neck by a blowdart.

The dart doesn't go deep enough to cause any real harm, but the wound does feel sort of numbing...for now.

As time progresses, the idol will begin to exhibit the following symptoms:
Weakness/numbing of limbs
Fever/chills
Dizziness/mind fog
Difficulty moving or staying awake, sluggishness

[Uhhhhhhhhhh. Looking around the room and then taking stock of their current members.]

Great.

[ immediately reaches up to his neck, pulling the blowdart out and rubbing the wound ]

Ah. . .

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[sancrimony]

Are you injured?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[outofoffice]

[ UUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Right back into it with this kind of thing, huh . . .

Re: STARTING EVENT

[outofoffice]

[ hello ]

Luci! Do you feel alright?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[bondsofsuffering]

No. How's yours?

Re: STARTING EVENT

[sancrimony]

. . . It doesn't hurt, but—[ lifting the blowdart up for venti to see ]—likely, it's been laced with something.

Are you injured?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[bondsofsuffering]

It's a pretty bad welcome back, huh? You should ask for a refund.

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[sancrimony]

It doesn't hurt, but—

[ with a frown, holding up the blowdart ]

. . . I suspect it was laced with something.

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[bondsofsuffering]

Like a slow acting poison to put us on a time limit something, or...?

[Does he need to start looking through everything asap.]

Re: STARTING EVENT

[outofoffice]

You're asking me that, after saying that . . .

Re: STARTING EVENT

[jackrabbits]

[there is a weird hiccup in his brain as he watches that.]

Lucifel? Are you okay?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[outofoffice]

Let's just avoid becoming like our friends here and all will be well.

[jackrabbits]

Re: STARTING EVENT

[sancrimony]

—well, it would be bad if more than one of us were already starting out injured, mm?

Re: STARTING EVENT

[sancrimony]

. . . For now, I'll be alright. It's possible that I'll be less alright as time goes on, though.

Are you hurt, Janus-san?

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[sancrimony]

That does seem to be the case. I'll do my best to contribute while I can.

[bondsofsuffering]

Looks like it's a bad game this time. I'm going to start looking around - try to be careful, though. It just seems like the kind of place with a bunch of traps all over.

Re: STARTING EVENT

[jackrabbits]

...

Huh? Oh. No. I'm okay.

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[bondsofsuffering]

[Looking over at Janus,]

I can check out all the blood.

[jackrabbits]

Whoa, this place is gross! And scary! I'll try not to get into trouble!

Re: 1 - BASEMENT

[bondsofsuffering]

No kidding. I'm going to start checking things out.
