Research Lab A

[guillotineroom]

You wake to find yourself trapped inside a cramped glass pod, wearing hospital PJs in your team's colour. Great, right? Not rude at all. The lights in the room beyond are harsh, made worse by the stark, pristine white walls. It's enough to make your eyes hurt. The room is oppressive in its sterility, and it reeks of cleaning chemicals.

Luckily you're not alone. There are a number of other pods around you, each with a person inside.

To the south is a highly futuristic metal door, and on the Western wall is a mirror.

If you'd like to escape from the pod, Roll Power!
4+: Sweet freedom! You bust your way out successfully.
2-3: You do your best, but the pod's just too sturdy for you. You're stuck unless somebody decides to lend a hand.
1: You smash! … You smash with such enthusiasm that the pod tips over, shattering. You're out, but you're also, uh. You're bleeding. And there's glass all over the floor. Lose 3HP. Traversing the room now requires everyone to make an agility roll of 3+ (fails lose 1HP).

[derailer]

...?? What—?

[Rolling a 5 for Power, though, giving the door one firm kick to get it open. He steps out, still disoriented.]

Re: Research Lab A

[parttimeai]

Oh Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Someone lemme outta this thing!

[ categorically NOT trying to smash her way out, she knows her strengths and strength isn't one of them. ]

[cultfavorite]

[Yeah he's not getting out of this. He has the sense not to try, looking around the room wide-eyed and then knocking on the glass. EEEEEEEYYYY]

Re: Research Lab A

[secondbornsun]

[ 8. busts the fuck out of here with a grumpy look ]

The hell is this.

[briarliar]

[ someone was extra enough to roll an 8 so the door just...flies to the other side of the room. Yor sits up, rubbing her eyes and completely out of it since previously she was on the beach? ]

Re: Research Lab A

[mountanoffensive]

[6! KICKS HER WAY FREE DRAMATICALLY

Also is confused at how she is in pajamas yet again.]

... Okay, what's going on this time?

Re: Research Lab A

[stirtheblood]

Ehh, what the hell is this??

[Vicious smashes with enthusiasm. Despite having a power of 7, he rolls a 1. Sorry. Sorry everyone.]

Re: Research Lab A

[freuxsavane]

[...1. Pod tips, over, glass shatters, traversing the room now requires an agility roll. Rook's got a terrible scrape across his shin and scratches on his forearms where he caught himself.]

Oup--

[ambiography]

What in the--

[okay. quick check. no staff to break it with, and when she tries to focus on a lower-level spell without it, nothing happens; she gives the door a brief kick to test it, but it doesn't seem like the best idea to try harder. she's a wizard not a fighter.]

Can you hear me out there? I'm going to need one of you to pop this thing open.

Re: Research Lab A

[eggstinction]

[six arms is too much startled lizard scrabbling up the walls WHOOPS

down his pod goes because that's a 1, folks]

[naturalcauses]

[lmao rolls a 1 for power so that means he's bleeding and not in great shape right away]

Urgh...

Re: Research Lab A

[secondbornsun]

[ since people are going to try to open the door again leona is carrying this shiro corpse over the glass and to the hallway

EXCEPT I GUESS THE GLASS WENT AWAY? ]

Security

[guillotineroom]

The office is a mess. Clutter is piled on the desks — books, magazines, notepads with illegible scribbles and dumb doodles, half-finished crosswords and sudoku puzzles, potted plants in the process of dying. There's a steaming coffee mug filled with still-hot cold black coffee … and another one, almost empty. And another one, cold, half full.

A lab coat is flung over the back of the only chair.

To the west is a door.

Re: Security

[parttimeai]

[ 4 ADAPTABILITY ]

Oh, sweet! Coffee!

[ immediately going for the full mug ]

Re: Security

[secondbornsun]

[ adaptability roll 6. my job as mule is apparently done so i'm just going to hang around and wait for other people to be useful ]

Hallway

[guillotineroom]

You're in a long, boring hallway. I mean, maybe the view out of the window is kinda cool? It looks like space. Are you in space? Huh.

To the North is the door to Research Lab A
Door to the East, conveniently labelled East Wing
Door to the West, conveniently labelled West Wing
Door to the South

[derailer]

[Adaptability 4! And only taking 1 more point of damage on the way over! SAFETY FIRST]

"East Wing", and "West Wing"... and an unlabeled door.

[He gestures to each door as he describes it aloud, for the benefit of anyone who can't read in the audience.]

East Wing

[guillotineroom]

It's another simple hallway.

There are three doors:

Hall of Champions
Arena
Infirmary

Re: East Wing

[mountanoffensive]

[Rolled a 3 for the time being...]

West Wing

[guillotineroom]

It's another simple hallway.

There are three doors:
Locker Room
Research Lab B
Game Room

[derailer]

[2 adaptability!]

Interesting. Locker Room, Research Lab B, or Game Room. Perhaps the Lab is most relevant?

Comms

[guillotineroom]

You found the walkie talkies? Great! Comment here with a blank top level so you can stay in touch with each other.

[cultfavorite]

Hall of Champions

[guillotineroom]

The art gallery is … almost semi-fancy. It has a carpet! (Uh, don't mind those bloodstains. It's probably fine.) The lighting is softer! Cool. Too cool, actually. Why is it so cold in here? You're already starting to shiver.

Five paintings are arranged against one of the walls, with space for one more. Set into the opposite wall is a small glass panel.

Everyone who enters this room must roll Endurance:
6+: The cold never bothered you anyway.
2~5: You're shivering hard. Lose 1 Power, Agility, Adaptability, and Endurance for two rooms (3 including this one).
1: Cold. It's so, so cold. So cold that you pass out, losing 1HP. You'll need help getting out of here.

Re: Hall of Champions

[stirtheblood]

[WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF HAVING 8 ENDURANCE IF HIS ROLLS SUCK THIS MUCH.

Anyway he rolls a 3. We can blame being drenched.]

Tch-hh... Goddamnit. This place sucks!

[He is, however, going to immediately go try to punch the glass panel. He has rubber gloves on! He told Saturn he'd use them to be safe!]

Arena

[guillotineroom]

The room is flawlessly clean and gleaming, and the view outside the huge window — space! you're in space! — is breathtaking … but there's a distinct coppery scent that no amount of Old Spice air freshener can mask. Can you hear screaming from somewhere? ... No? Maybe it was just your imagination.

There is a robot behind a desk, radiating Customer Service vibes. Behind them is a door.

In the corner is a vending machine. It doesn't look like there's a coin slot, so … maybe if you just shake it real good?

Re: Arena

[mountanoffensive]

[4... Also yeah that definitely smells like blood. But oooh vending machine.]

... I think we're in space. And there's a robot. A door. And oooh a vending machine!

Infirmary

[guillotineroom]

This infirmary is awful. It's gross. Why would anybody want to come here? It's dirty, grimy, and cluttered with wrecked furniture — and, also? It's flooded. There must be nearly 2ft of water in here. Luckily the room is on a slightly lower level than the doorway where you're standing, so you're safe for now. Which, given the live electrical cables sparking all over the place, is probably a relief …

You have a feeling there's probably something useful in here.

If you want to risk it, roll Agility to !! parkour !! or Endurance to take the plunge like a stoic badass.

Re: Infirmary

[mountanoffensive]

[1 adaptability after all this time...]

This definitely isn't like the other infirmary.

I think I can make the jump though.

Locker Room

[guillotineroom]

It's a simple locker room. Yep. Just a locker room. Four steel lockers line one wall, while a rack on wheels with folded up scrubs and two tupperware containers sitting on top of it lines another.

Re: Locker Room

[secondbornsun]

[ adaptability roll 8

are the lockers capable of being moved from the wall so as to create a bench slash bed of sorts ]

Game Room

[guillotineroom]

There's nothing in here except a pedestal with a big red button on it, and two large glass pods. They both have doors — currently closed — and they look like they're big enough to comfortably stand in. In each box is another pedestal, sans button.

[derailer]

[adaptability 2.

also can't see anything in here.]

Does it look promising?
