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. There's a mirror on the western wall.

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.

> 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).

[5. Probably kicks his way out honestly.]

What the hell is going on now?

[parttimeai]

What in the dear sweet fuck -

Someone lemme outta here!

[ she's checking for easy ways to escape but she is not going to power through, thank you. she knows her strengths and strength isn't one of them. ]

Re: Research Lab A

[too_cleverfox]

[roll 2 :( He bangs on the glass a bit, also examining alternative routes out ]

A little help, anyone????

Re: Research Lab A

[truthandideals]

[2

she's chilling]

Huh.

Re: Research Lab A

[markofkaine]

[with a 7, Kaine punches through the glass of the pod and rips the door off with ease. His expression immediately twists into one of distaste at the sterile room]

☠️☠️☠️☠️ this.

Re: Research Lab A

[eudaimoniac]

[WHAT THE FUCK

he got a 2 also]

Why!

[hearthwarming]

[ Busts out with a 4! Which is the highest power she can roll, how lucky. ]

I... What is this place? The light is so...

Re: Research Lab A

[alienation]

[ He's moving to make sure his collar is pulled up to hide part of his throat and

these are not his usual clothes

rip that idea.





also he's stuck in the pod. 3. ]

[veardant]

[ roll: 3 - well, shit. despite his best efforts, tighnari is not quite strong enough to force his way out.. rip in 3 power. with a sigh, he rests his head against the glass. ]

[unwinds]

[ 1...he really overestimated the strength and resistance of this pod, huh. ]

Shit.

[ SORRY ABOUT THE GLASS. And, uh, the blood. He's got some pretty good cuts. It's probably fine. ]

Re: Research Lab A

[agentgymstudent]

[HERE WITH STARBUCKS]

...already hate this.

[Well, he rolled a two because his strength ain't great.]

Yeah, I figured.

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]

[ Hopping through here! with an 8 adaptability ]

Ooh, what's all this?

[ investigates lab coat ]

Re: Security

[truthandideals]

[adapt 1 :)]

What a tiny sad room.

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

Re: Hallway

[parttimeai]

[ heading out here with a 2 adaptability ]

Whoa! Holy shit, are we in space?

Comms

[guillotineroom]

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

East Wing

[guillotineroom]

It's another simple hallway.

There are three doors:

Hall of Champions
Arena
Infirmary

Re: East Wing

[parttimeai]

[ ANOTHER ... 1 ... ]

Oh, hey! Infirmary!

West Wing

[guillotineroom]

It's another simple hallway.

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

Re: West Wing

[truthandideals]

[ADAPT 6]

...ooo games.

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 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

[parttimeai]

[ SO COLD SHE JUST FUCKIN FAINTS (1) ]

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?

[veardant]

[ 5 adaptability!

tighnari's sharp scent picks up that familiar metallic scent, and it makes his stomach flip. he has a superhuman sense of smell which is biological not a power so i assume it would still.. work here?? he steps toward the door behind the robot, scenting the air further. ]

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.

[veardant]

[... 2 adaptability, buuuut 7 agility to parkour! it's fine. ]

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

[parttimeai]

[ 2 adpt ... :( ]

Oh, sweet! Nosiness!

[ going for locker 1 ]

Research Lab B

[guillotineroom]

You've found a laboratory. It's super fancy, futuristic, and hi-tech, but there's something off about the vibes. Maybe it's all of the broken — shattered — containment tanks? If you've had the misfortune of a random encounter along your journey so far, this probably explains it.

The last two in-tact containment tanks are fogged up; you can't see what's inside them from here. You can faintly hear a tapping sound coming from the one on the left.

In the middle of the room, between you and anything interesting you might want to explore, is a planter box full of … well, they might be tentacles, or they might be plants. It's hard to say.

Re: Research Lab B

[markofkaine]

[Jesus. Kaine's skin crawls... being on high alert gets him like a 9 adapt, whew

Also, walks up to the in-tact containment tank and wipes away the condensation. Carefully. They haven't run into any creatures so....... what's inside o_o]

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.
