Betrayal 3: Session 13

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: A Certain Game

[ You are in an elevator, and it is not ascending into the Game Tower, no. This time, it's taking you down. You can feel it in the pit of your stomach, watch through the glass chassis as stone scrolls up and away and all around you becomes darkness.

And then, a screen flickers on. A bright, cheerful woman with fluffy pigtails waves at you with one hand, a brightly colored plastic crazy straw that's been speared through a few mango chunks in her other. Exael winks and speaks to the camera.

"And with summer comes what we all look forward to~ Summer Break! It's time to get away from hot stuffy Tokyo, and get away from it all! And so, everyone, we've brought your faa~avorite idols home here to you! In one of our very special hotels, for a very special game! Clasp your hands in prayer, hope real hard, and maybe you'll get a front row seat to their presence in the Hotel Omphalos!"

"May this show grant you Mirth, because soon starts—"

The broadcast cuts out.

The light does not return, as the elevator doors open. Instead, color so bright it can't be drowned out by the darkness spills in, and erodes the car away. You are left standing in an unfamiliar Hotel, and the game is just beginning. ]

BASEMENT LANDING

[idolpro]

[ You enter the Basement Landing. It’s clean and well-kept, like someone scrubs it down once… or twice… or five times a day, although some clubgoer has very recently scrawled some lovey-dovey graffiti onto the brilliant tile in neon sharpie. The scent of bleach is strong here, and it’s nauseating as chemical cleaners always are. Underground the area isn’t well ventilated. There’s nowhere for that scent to escape to and you’ve been trapped down here with it. Signs advertise the various businesses to be found—a nightclub, a fortune-teller, some kind of “revitalization treatment” service?

There is, for whatever reason, also the acrid smell of… paper burning? It’s strong, but under the chemicals it takes a second for you to notice.

You may go North, South, West, or up to the ground floor. ]

[ HI HERE'S A GIFT FOR EVERYONE

Dynamite
The fuse isn't lit... yet.
Instead of attacking, you can throw the Dynamite through a connecting door into an adjacent room. Each explorer and monster with Might and Speed traits in that room must attempt a Speed roll:
5+: Take no damage from Dynamite.
0-4: Take 4 points of physical damage. ]
