LOBBYQUEST: END

[idolpro]

Who: Everyone!
Where: ALL PLACES ALL PLACES ALL PLACES ALL PL
When: Day 397

When finally you escape the room, there is a series of messages on Dissonance:

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: hey...
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: you used my sims house for that didnt you!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: naffy!!!!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: they completely destroyed it its filled with strange juices and all the statues are broken and all the furniture is stolen!!!!!!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: and there was a room added? and then destroyed???? wwhat's a laser master?????
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: naffy i'm so mad at you!
** happy☆day set mode +b TOTAL⚓DISASTER
** TOTAL⚓DISASTER (oracledolphi@491992.%UNKNOWN_VAR%.net) has quit. (Kicked: Don't do this, don't do this!)
happy☆day: This program would like to remind all operations staff that Tokyo-F's primary Dissonance channels are not to be used to speak to anyone but the inhabitants of Tokyo-F.
happy☆day: With that said, with that said!
happy☆day: Thank you all very much for your cooperation.
happy☆day: You have once again assisted this program in saving Tokyo-F, this show, and yourselves!
happy☆day: This program will keep these congratulations brief, then, so that you may enjoy the spoils of your war.
happy☆day: Please return to the lobby at your earliest convenience! You will find something this program thinks you have all been very excited for, which this program saw no particular need to delete with the primary threat eliminated.

[ When you do, you'll find that one: NafunAI is darting around in hologram form, but also two:

In addition to future is now's renovations, there's now a set of new elevators that are large enough to fit vehicles, large animals, heavy machinery...wow! Surely this is all you have ever wanted. Now you don't have to be a member of AlcheME! to move furniture or horses anywhere!

But that's not really important, is it? What is important is the very large rideable puppy that immediately comes barreling into you as you enter the hotel. That's right! The Hound now lives in a lavish doghouse in the hotel lobby, and is at all times ready to play. Truly, doesn't that make everything you went through worth it?

All the while, the lobby speakers have returned to their normal playing schedule. Rember: it's a good day to have a good day. ]

TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[cascadingfailure]

[ If you can catch her while she darts around at the speed of annoying moth, anyway. ]

Re: TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[420blazeit]

Nafun! [ going to attempt to tackle her as she moths about. ] Heyyyy!

Re: TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He still has no mouth, but he does come over to wave]

Re: TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[quickpersuader]

...Who was that other user?

Re: TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[worthathousand]

Excuse me.

You are the one who sent us on this quest, correct?

Re: TALK TO NAFUNAI?

[unbr8kable]

[Eventually leaving dog for long enough to find this bug lady]

Hey, "Naffy". Question for you about that "maladaptive algorithm"...

[worthathousand]

[ Amaranth clearly had come to lobbyquest prepared for DEADLY COMBAT, what with her ornate naginata and... where did she even get this outfit? And now......
She looks entirely unharmed. Not even winded. ]

Not what I expected, but at least everything went smoothly.

[ she sounds almost disappointed, but give her a moment to notice DOG. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

[There's dried blood all down his front and back and a hole in his clothes on either side from being stabbed but otherwise, same.]

I take it you were also expecting a fight.

[send_noods]

[Gladio walks into the hotel lobby, covered in drying blood from the chest down, a large cement dolphin hefted over one shoulder like a club.

He sees the puppy and looks satisfied]

... It was all worth it.

[also he's still on Cloud Nine]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[By all appearances, he is completely in one piece, except for the fact that he has... no mouth]

[It's probably fine?]

[It's probably fine,]

[leaveofabsence]

[






He's missing his WHAT now? ]

I.

I am afraid I do not know how best to proceed with treating that particular ailment.

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt also came to lobbyquest expecting combat, which is why he brought his ludicrously large shuriken. He looks completely fine though. He didn't find the experience really overwhelming, but it wasn't underwhelming, either. It was just sort of whelming. He's very whelmed.]




Okay.

[send_noods]

[Pointing at puppy]

We did it.

[they sure did]

[unbr8kable]

[FUCK YEAH DOG]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Fuck yeah dog!!!]

[He is more quiet about that than usual, but the fact that he is still mouthless'll do that]

[romanticlove]

[Here is one Pep who has unmistakably had a horrible time in Lobbyquest. She's covered head to toe in burns, and can be heard laughing quietly to herself. She's used Cloud Nine to help, even if she can clearly still feel pain. She just can't feel the emotion of pain. She's found a spot for herself in a quiet corner of the lobby and is just laying on the floor.

This patch of floor belongs to her now.]

[send_noods]

Aw shit.

[wanders over to Ren and sets the statue down before taking a knee next to her]

Hey kiddo, lemme grab a Siv real quick.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Izanagi looks like he's Been Through Some Crap and is notably not moving... super smoothly but. With a large backpack firmly in place hopefully no one has a chance to see any weirdness with his back as he turns to head for the dorms ASAP.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Oh... oh]

[He can't call out to him right now seeing as he has no mouth, but very much noting that,]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino looks more or less fine save for a ???blood stain and tear???? that seems to go through their top but. They aren't moving weird or anything, they're just glaring at the puppy.]

[we_meet_again]

You look like you had a time.

[You and gladio have matching blood stains.]

[childeishly]

[ there sure is a corpse in the middle of the lobby! the blood soaked scarf cover a gaping stab that just might have come from a twenty foot sword of some kind. his friends sure did try, but big holes leak much blood…

]

[skyshard]

[ I WOULD KICK YOUR DEAD BODY IN THE BALLS FOR THIS IF ZHONGLI WASN'T HERE. ]

[featherbeaned]

[ Here's an unusually Annoyed(!!)-looking AlcheMe sitting on the floor somewhere out of the way, her limbs and torso covered in severe burns. She... doesn't seem to be doing much at all? ]

[ Except growling. It's a constant low rumble of intense displeasure, like some sort of anti-purr. ]

[doublefried]

[ coming over and touching her hand with a wing again. sulk team go ]

[skyshard]

. . .

[ . . . fuck it, this is too much. Don't mind him, he's just leaving the lobby to go out of the hotel, taking the plastic sword with him.

Not even a puppy is going to get rid of this burning acid in his throat about failing to protect a friend (and seeing more injured strangers doesn't help). It's confusing to feel so responsible for someone's well-being, right?

also, it's stuffy with everyone there, anyway. what is his sister, he needs his sister... ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Now that the injured people are starting to show, his mood sure has taken a hard right turn]

[Also, he has no mouth to call out with, so just going to jog a little to catch up with him, tapping him on the arm]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[scanning the crowd, rubbing at his eyes, and then scanning the crowd again. for some reason he's clutching a heavy wooden cutting board to his chest?? also, his hair appears to be at least partly black feathers now.

"Uh... Fuck," he says, but no sound comes out, leaving him looking increasingly alarmed.]

[pyromagiac]

[ oh you're a liberi. ok

blinks at him, like. ? ]

Did you say something, Mister Valor?

1/2

[pyromagiac]

[ THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD TIME AND I GOT TO HELP A LOT AND WE GOT A "DOG" NOW AND AND AND ]

[pyromagiac]

[ wh


what happened to everyone else. ]

[daios]

[Hades yawns and stretches. What a good nap!!!]

Mmmhh. Oh, so it's over already?

[sancrimony]

Ah, we ended up not fighting, so we finished up easily.

[ with a nod to the big dog in the lobby (not hades) ]

[outofoffice]

[ His normally green-blue eyes and hair are pink(?) for some reason, one sleeve is entirely burnt off to reveal an arm covered in burn scars, and he's trembling violently like it's cold in here or something.


Regardless, he mutely flags down anyone who looks remotely injured still. ]

[we_meet_again]

Hi.

You must be Venti.

[gravitydefier]

[don't mind this Taisho, who is using Makes Perfect to try to...leave the lobby and head for the stairs back to Taisho. note that he might bump into you, too: his normally piercing golden eyes are clouded over.]

[outofoffice]

[ He drifts over and takes one of Xiao's hands, ruffling his feathers loudly enough for him to figure out who it is. ]

[sunflowering]

[ There's just. A very burned, very dead vampire once the game is done. sIV did their best...? Sorry anyone who needed many sIV's again... ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ A little ruffled, Tsukasa appears to be fine, outwardly, when he returns to the lobby, with a few items in tow. The ORB, for one, carried in one arm, and a shrunken version of MASAMUNE in the other.

He stares at some of the mess the rest of the parties are in though. ]

. . . Ah.

[protectshisown]

[Here is a Rye, not looking in a bad way.]

[Tired, very tired, kinda grumpy, but okay!]

[But perking up.]

Oh, we did get to keep him.

[It'll take a minute to realize the state of others. Everything is shades of green-]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's a tap at his arm, a little uncertain]
