[The door wiggles gently...

Who's there?]

[slobjection]

Orange.

[ he instinctively knows the door was asking who's there. ]

[gatonina]

[The door wiggles faster...

Orange who????]

[slobjection]

[ what is this wiggling door??? ]

Orange you glad there's a responsible adult around?

[ don't fucking lie to the door phoenix ]

[gatonina]

[The door stops wiggling









and then abruptly swings open outward. If Phoenix doesn't move immediately, he's getting smacked in the face.

But, hey! The door is open now, and the music has stopped abruptly. Unsurprisingly, everything is dark as heck beyond the door. None of the light from outside filters in.]

-- anyway, let's head inside.

[don't mind Akira, the man without a leg, just totally waltzing into the darkness. HE HAS NONE FEAR]

[axilium]

[according to becks, ash does his usual thing of immediately moving to one side and feeling along the wall.

belph will do the same, but for the opposite wall as he heads in.]

[slobjection]

[ phoenix will just like... walk beside akira in case some shit is happening and he needs to protecc ]

[ like this applies to all these rowdy boys but akira is the problem child ]

Wonder what fresh horrors await us.

[gatonina]

[you're all doing great, sweeties.

Predictably, the door slams shut behind them once they're all inside. Very shocking! But it is at this point that they will notice how oddly cold it feels inside. There's a low, humming sound coming from further within the cabin. A heavy scent of antiseptic lingers in the air. The walls seem to ripple beneath their fingers, the texture is constantly changing. It doesn't quite feel solid. More like something soft and pliable.

If Belph and Ash are touching opposite walls, whoever has dibs on the left wall will eventually come across something that feels like a panel. There are two buttons on it, one on top of the other. Both seem to thrum when they touch them. Which one will they press first?]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . well. this is familiar, but at the same time Akira doesn't suppress a shiver that courses down his spine as the cold washes over his skin]

Hopefully nothing too horrible.

[is his. somewhat wry reply to Phoenix. he doesn't venture any further into the darkness either, though he does glance back at Ash and Belph to see if either of them found the lights]

[voidbreaker]

It's not gonna be fun.

[ ash is tappin' along the wall and -- hello there. there's some buttons. ]

Two buttons here. I'm gonna hit the right one. Unless any of you are really big on the left button.

[ but y'know. tappy tappy. ]

[axilium]

[this is pleasant.]

As long as you take responsibility if the floor beneath us suddenly opens up and drops us into a pit of spikes.

[slobjection]

Could always hit both simultaneously.

[ maybe it's a puzzle!! but no hes just out here with akira waiting on the gruesome death as they defer to ash for now. it's probably fine ]

[gatonina]

[Well. There is no right button because they are one on top of the other, but let's say he hit the upper one. Once Ash tappity taps the button, he will feel something prick his finger. A second later, his entire arm will begin to sting. But, uh. That's probably fine?

The wall transforms into something solid. Something a little... plasticky? And the reason why becomes quickly apparent. The LED light smackdab in the center of the room flickers to life. As the boys take a proper look at their surroundings, they will notice that they have wandered into a room that's covered in plastic wrap from top to bottom. A single, plastic covered table sits in the center of the room. There is a silver platter with a lid on top.

There's another door right across the room, where the plastic wrap has been carefully arranged as to not to block it. There is something red sluggishly coming out through the bottom of it. The low humming sound persists, though they cannot find the source here. And, yup. It sure did just get colder.

But, that's not all.

As soon as the lights flicker on, the gang will have to grapple with an even bigger issue. All of their body parts sort of, uh. Pop off and start floating away? Like doll parts, suddenly detachable. There is no gore, and looking at the sections where they have been severed reveals an empty, static filled void. Furthermore, while it may be shocking — there is no pain. They retain complete control over their body parts, separated as they may currently be.

They're just, you know, currently Mr. Potato Head-ing it.]

[survivaltricks]

[oh. my god??]

[Akira has a snarky comment prepared about walking into the lair of a serial killer, but like]

[then his arms pop off of his body along with his leg. . . and half a leg. . . and he has. more important things to worry about?? like his head suddenly rolling away from his. . . limbless torso???]

[it's fine one of his arms is already chasing after his head so it doesn't roll too far away]







WHY.

[voidbreaker]

"Hopefully nothing too horrible", he said.

[ is all that ash manages to get out before his head is just. off. on a journey. somewhere. don't try to stop it, it's free now.

his left arm grabs his right one before it can float off on its own and starts shaking it. ]

Something jabbed me when I hit the button. This arm's stinging.

[ so that's wonderful. ]

[axilium]

Hope you're not poisoned.

[one of belph's arms is going to try and fetch the rest of his parts, but the other arm's going to try and head over to the silver platter and lift the lid? might as well get this started.]

[slobjection]

Hm.... is it a callback to the mansion?

[ one of phoenix's arms jumps up to his chin to scratch it. ]

I'd appreciate if it anyone could give me a---

[ a beat while he looks at ash. hm. he may actually dies if he makes a a joke. ]

--- assist.

[gatonina]

[Ganba, team.

After lifting the lid, Belph will notice there are four masks on the silver platter. He will have to, uh, float his head a little closer to get a proper look at them. But from this distance, the features seem... oddly realistic.]

[survivaltricks]

. . . please don't be poisoned??

[he grabs his head with his arm and turns it around to give Ash a concerned look??? his other arm is fetching his legs so]

[someone examine the red seeping from the door]

[voidbreaker]

I would prefer not to be poisoned? But whatever's happened is already kinda done?

[ one of ash's legs kicks the other over and jumps on it and his non-?poisoned arm is dragging the other to grab his torso so i guess ash's head'll just turn to

look at the red seeping stuff? nice. ]

[axilium]

[sure, his head (along with his other pieces) is coming over to take a look at the masks.]

[slobjection]

[ phoenix's hand also carries his head over to take a look... this is great, guys ]

You're probably fine, Ash.

[gatonina]

[Since they're just looking at it, they will notice the stuff seeping out from under the door looks pretty vicious. Upon checking the masks, Belph will discover four different faces. Two of the masks will be familiar, while the other two he may or may not recognize depending on how much attention he has paid to the Outdoors Theater.

"why can this group never escape [redacted]" you have no one but yourselves to blame for this running gag]
