"Okay, what is this nerdy crap?"

The piece of paper in Tamsin's hands was definitely some kind of nerdy crap, she was sure of it. Still, it was their best shot at at least getting the island back to somewhere that had actually decent bars.

She eyed the weird rocks embedded into the wall by Galactica Point. "I always thought some kid with too much time and no basement to fester in had come up with this," she muttered. She glanced over her shoulder at the waiting hordes. "Okay, here we go. Up, up, down, down--"

Oh god. It really was nerdy crap.

[[ ocd is up! have at! new rooms might be added throughout the day, depending. ]]

Into The Catacombs

[fh_npcs]

They are dark and go for miles.

... well, some parts of them are dark, and if you jogged around them, you'd probably hit a mile or two?

Entrance Hall

[fh_npcs]

It's... nice?

Someone has painted the entirety of it black and installed little lights everywhere, simulating a view of space. There's a turn at the far end of the corridor, blocking off view of anything else.

It might be a touch disorienting. Also, there are moths.

Hall of Doors - First

[fh_npcs]

There are several of these, spread out across the catacombs. All of the doors look similar, but not all of the halls.

In fact, one comes with a disco ball and a revolving platform in the center.

But not this one. This one just has an angry, soggy bunyip.

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[livingartifact]

"A Hall of Doors," Jenkins said approvingly. "Every sentient location ought to have one of these."

[throughaphase]

Kitty didn't want to ask. But she had to ask.

"...Why?"

Room: RAIN FILTERS?

[fh_npcs]

Take a left turn and pick a door, and you'll find - exactly where the map said it was - the rain filters?.

The rain filters? appear to be enormous grates both on the ceiling and under your feeth. Both of them are raining in opposite directions.

The first five minutes are chocolate pudding. There is then a brief spell of custard, followed by rainbow dye that stains skin and clothes.

You might want to be out before the ping pong balls. You definitely want to be out before the drop bears.

Re: Room: RAIN FILTERS?

[imafuturist]

"How is this even a thing?!" Tony wasn't enjoying his trip here. Not at all.

Room: PORTAL ANCHOR

[fh_npcs]

It is literally a room with a giant anchor embedded in it. One of those old-timey ship ones.

It is also covered in angry snipes.

They hiss whenever they see someone enter, and then come skittering off the anchor, chasing after you. Better start running.

Re: Room: PORTAL ANCHOR

[uncertain_dume]

See, Kanan could start running, or he could stand his ground with his blaster, picking the snipes off one by one with all the finesse of a practiced gunslinger and all the aim of a Jedi.

He wasn't going to resort to pulling out his lightsaber on these things. They kind of didn't seem worth the effort.

"I hate this place," he muttered, firing off a few more shots.

Room: UNSURE - DO NOT TOUCH

[fh_npcs]

It even says 'Do Not Touch' on the door, in a fading label maker label that's probably fallen off a few times and no longer lingers at eye-height.

But if you do open it, it reveals a room made entirely of strawberry shortcake. Birds sing cheerful songs, and the air smells like sugar.

Don't do it. Just don't do it.

Re: Room: UNSURE - DO NOT TOUCH

[throughaphase]

Kitty read the sign. But Kitty didn't have to touch the door, so she phased her upper half through it to see what was inside.

After about five seconds, she came back into the hall and said, "Nope. I don't like it."

Hall of Doors - Second

[fh_npcs]

Of course, if you're lucky, this is the door you pick. It brings you into a perfect replica of the first hall of doors, being all... hally... and doory.

This is the one with the revolving platform and the disco ball, though. So try not to get dizzy.

Re: Hall of Doors - Second

[heroic_jawline]

Steve took one look at the disco ball and told the room, "I am not dancing."

Room: STEAM ROOM

[fh_npcs]

It's a room full of steam.

Full of steam and one friendly, entirely undressed purple gentleman sitting on a towel in the middle of it.

He seems to be ignoring you.

Re: Room: STEAM ROOM

[livingartifact]

"Ah," Jenkins said, giving the purple gentleman a polite nod. "Pardon us. Didn't mean to interrupt." He started to close the door again, then paused and pulled a candy bar from his jacket. "Snickers?"

Room: SUNSHINE

[fh_npcs]

Sunshine is definitely the first thing to hit your face when you open the door. Improbably, there's a shaft that leads all the way up, letting the sun in. It's not immediately clear where on the island the shaft might be located.

Not that you'll have a lot of time to check it out, since most of the room is taken up by a very large lake with a very large squid in it and Sunshine is not happy to see you.

On the bright side, it's the alligators spitting goldfish crawling out of the water that are actually planning to attack you, not the squid.

Re: Room: SUNSHINE

[sith_happened]

"You're still here?" Anakin said, blinking at Sunshine. "Callisto will be thrilled."

Room: PRESERVE MANAGEMENT

[fh_npcs]

There are a lot of machines in here, pumping and spitting steam out into the room. Giant cogs turn against each other. A teal deer wearing a set of glasses wanders past.

Manning the machines are... squirrels. Except they're green. And when they turn to hiss at you, angry and ready to tussle, you can see the gremlin venom dripping from their fangs.

Oops.

Re: Room: PRESERVE MANAGEMENT

[vdistinctive]

"Son of a --" That was a very distinctive venom drip. Eliot was seriously considering adding body armor to his daily wardrobe.

Hall of Doors - Third

[fh_npcs]

It would be a perfectly normal hall of doors, were it not for the grirrls that just escaped from Preserve Management.

Room: CHOSEN ONE POD

[fh_npcs]

"We're on schedule," says a hoopsnake as it rolls past. Well, mumbles, really. It does have something in its mouth.

There's an array of what looks like cryogenic pods in the room. Or... no, they almost seem like... hatching pods?

Each individual pod is marked with a universe number. None of them are remotely familiar.

"We've got to move faster on the Trump!" comes the muffled yell of another hoopsnake.

Room: ISLAND COMMS

[fh_npcs]

This looks like a perfectly ordinary room with nothing in it, except a series of blinking lights around the rounded walls.

Of course, if someone came into this room with you, you can now hear every word bouncing around their head, and vice-versa.

But like we wrote, perfectly ordinary.

Re: Room: ISLAND COMMS

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante stepped into the room.

He squinted at the lights.

"...Are you gonna try and kill me?" he asked the lights.

They didn't answer.

Room: THE SCHLEET ROOM

[fh_npcs]

It's an empty room.

On the floor lies a perfectly normal pair of pants.

Or is it?

(It will probably try to eat your eyeballs if you turn your back on it.)

Re: Room: THE SCHLEET ROOM

[good_for_six]

"This is why I don't wear pants!" Isabela yelled as she fended off the trousers that were trying to eat her face and not in the fun way.
