R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[:( don't judge him he has a slapstick comedy curse

Also it's a damn good thing he's already dead... guess he'll meet everyone at the bottom????]

[lockdownmods]

[the bottom offers two choices: left... or right.]

[supportrole]

Um... Are you okay?

[ Kind of shouted, because he's still... making his way down. Even more slowly and carefully after watching that fall, jeez. ]

[12d3]

[It takes a hot minute before there's a reply, as 2-D pull himself up off the ground at the bottom. He's a little hazy but it's fine.]

I-I'm fine! There's uh.. there's... augh, shit.

[He rubs his head, looking in front of himself.]

Th-there's two paths to take ahead! I'm not sure which way to go..

[itwasfeyt]

[Okay, she's actually... venturing down now, behind everyone else. Who knew Marinette was so deep of character.]

...Oops. Sorry?

[Did she do this? Sorry, 2D.

Different directions, though. Hmm. She looks at the rest of the group.]

Well! Looks like there's only one thing to do! We need to split up!

[supportrole]

Doesn't that usually end kind of badly for one of the teams in horror movies?

[curseoclock]

Oh, then definitely let's do it!

[Yeah!]

[lockdownmods]

[Chichi is going left!]

[itwasfeyt]

...I guess we can follow Chichi, but if anyone else still wants to go right, they can.

[ok she's going left too. Wait up, Chichi...!]

[supportrole]

Me too!

[ Follows!!! Tell us how strong we've become, Dad. ]

[lockdownmods]

[SO YOU COME INTO A DARK ROOM.

In the center there's a dais... it's projecting something vaguely human shaped? There is a desk behind it, and papers scattered throughout the room]

[itwasfeyt]

[Geeze, it's dark in here. And there's some kind of stand in the middle of the room? Maya wanders close to it, hands out in case she bumps into something.]

Um, can someone find a light switch, please?

[While she squints and pokes around this desk here.]

[lockdownmods]

[the projector is providing enough ambient light that she can see around it! And in fact, there is a sort of knob for turning. There's five, actually. They seem to line up with letters?]

[supportrole]

[ well never mind hooray for not needing lights!! ]

What's this?

[ what letters are there? ]

[itwasfeyt]

Huh?

[Letters? Like A-B-C and so on?]

[lockdownmods]

[like a-b-c yep.

There's a set of five of them! What letters go where, though. '-']

[supportrole]

[ Uhhhhh hm. Let's look at some of these scattered papers. Any obvious clues for what letters we need...? ]

[12d3]

[Oh hell yeah did someone say Horror films???? 2-D is Here.]

Who wants to go with me to the right?

{since the cats going the left the right is clearly Bad]

[supportrole]

Iiii'm gonna go to the left.

[ If these were the tunnels of Venom exploding after beating Andross, Chichi would clearly be playing the guiding role of Fox's dad here, so he's pretty sure he'd be stupid not to follow. ]

[12d3]

Alright, suit yourself.

[COWARD]

[itwasfeyt]

You're going all on your own? That might be dangerous!

[Or, at least, scary]

[12d3]

Yeah, that's the fun part innit?

[2-D has a big grin on his face.]

I've always wanted to be in a horror film.

[lockdownmods]

[TO THE RIGHT-- LIKE IT'S SIBLING ROOM. THIS AREA HAS A DAIS THAT ACTS AS A PROJECTOR.

However, it has zero power. It's actually hard to see.]

[12d3]

[OH BOY!!!

After that lil convo with Maya, 2-D wanders down the hall into the room, keeping his hand against the wall as it's far too dark to see in here.]

'ello?

[He calls out first before getting too far into the room, in case there's a person or creature in there. Maybe he'll find a zombie..... :eyesemote:]

[machrophage]

[Time to follow in behind all this commotion. 2D might get the feeling of prickling on his neck urging him to turn around, where there's a single gleaming -

Okay, really, it's just Viral, single visible gold eye almost glowing relative to the darkness around them. What does his cat eye see, mods?]

Found something interesting, have you?
