Pinned a message.
-----Phase 1----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it, as well as... A bag of coffee? Weird. The paperwork is all handwritten, with a bottle of ink resting on the floor beside it labelled "SQUID PRO QUO". The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as Cats and The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand in an archway. Wooden planks have been nailed in, chains and padlocks put on, bars covering every part of the surface, everything to assure that the doors stay shut. We're afraid you're not getting out. There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. Just in front of the door, a glowing crystal floats midair, giving the room a dim red ambient light. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png

Well uh! okay!
So, it all starts when i'm flying my trusty r-9a arrowhead through warp space, can't remember what the mission was
But then i ended up in some kinda... weird place! There was a slug thing
So i blew up the slug thing, obviously, since it was probably a bydo
But then! lots of little specks of light got everywhere and all over me, it was weird!
Next thing i know, i'm back on earth but my allies are shooting at me!
Obviously i had to take them all down to survive, it was really sad

I have no real preference right now, but I wouldn't mind sticking with Alpha. They...I'm not gonna lie, they creep me out, but they don't seem so bad...and if they turn out to be bad, I'd of course like to be there too. But I don't really have much direction play-wise yet, all I'm used to is doing cool acrobatics and stuff.
For the first time since getting here, Spark takes some time in the silence to look around a bit.

As of September 2021, the show has been running since 2012 in London; since 2014, the play has undertaken four tours of the UK.

Max stares towards one of the walls.
Could he be...
Yep, he's admiring the Among Us Musical.
Alpha floats over to the bag of coffee, and... begins to absorb it?
In the span of a moment, the coffee is completely encompassed in the mass of flesh that is Alpha.
Refusing to ponder how that works, Double Trouble instead closely examines Jay Finch.
👁ļø 1
Jay finch seems... Unnerved.
Wildly unnerved.
Unnerved enough that he completely forgets that Alpha just absorbed the bag of coffee that he was about to grab.
Jay goes to grab the bag of coffee, but all he grasps is a bunch of gross, pulsating flesh.
Ew.
Patches is having none of this nonsense. They make a show of heading to the stage.
Omen goes to search for a phone.
He doesn't find anything.
Defeated, he goes to sit down.
Sit down on... A REALLY confy couch made by Bamboo!
The couch even has wheels built in, so you can move it between areas!
Sado goes to pick up as many flyers to the Among Us Musical as they can!
Somehow, they manage to pick up a whopping 18 flyers!
...Which she promptly drops when the flyers glitch through her hand.
It seems like she only ended up with one.
While all this was going on, Spark was investigating the strange crystal.

-----Phase 2----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The paperwork is all handwritten, and there is a a strange black liquid puddled next to it. There is also a bottle of ink resting on the floor beside it labelled "SQUID PRO QUO". The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as Cats and The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand in an archway. Wooden planks have been nailed in, chains and padlocks put on, bars covering every part of the surface, everything to assure that the doors stay shut. We're afraid you're not getting out. There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. Just in front of the door, a glowing crystal floats midair, giving the room a dim red ambient light. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png

It has a trigger at the bottom.
Suddenly, Dream begins sprinting towards the door!
Sprinting way faster than he should reasonably be going..?
HE PUNCHES THROUGH THE DOOR!
IN A MOMENT'S NOTICE, HE TAKES OUT A PICKAXE, AND TAKES A CHUNK OUT OF IT!
As he goes to appreciate his work, the door seems to... reform?
Not before everyone here can catch a glimpse of what's out there, though.
There's a whole lot of nothing, but... there's definitely a whole lot of something, too.

The fire was because that performance had all the roles coordinating, I assume.
Judging from the performance and what Nikola said, maybe it brings about whatever the Director of the act wishes when all of them coordinate. (edited)

Ah, you see, a spook would be what you could call a spirit, an idea, specifically a fixed one that an individual would consider "holy" and place it as important enough to sacrifice their self to!
Things such as "morals", or "mankind", or even less philosophically-associated concepts like gender!
Things that only exist in the mind.
Here it appears that some of these ideas that are stuck in people's heads have taken physical form in one way or another.
In this case, those ideas would be... the Directors' wishes. (edited)
It's a simple enough theory!

How about this!
Try to go to areas you have not yet been to, meet new people, make good food, and we shall meet on the stage in... four phases?
Granted, I might head to the stage earlier as I haven't been there myself either, so we might not get separated immediately.

I was not invited either, to be frank.

Originally, I walked in this theatre out of curiosity. I seldom assist to these sorts of things myself, you see!
But now, I do see quite a few things that would please my ego.
I suppose the simplest way to put it would be that I seek entertainment in a way!
Although I would be pleased to share my philosophy with other individuals here, which I have in fact already done to some extent.
Your talks of being "freer" than most here does remind me somewhat of what I have written myself, in a way. Would you happen to be acquainted with my writings?

But Trainee Chef was also recording Sado!

No-one's going to get anything useful out of this.
The door, weakened by Alpha and the fire lapping at it, doesn't seem very strong...
So when Sado attacks it, it bursts open!
Dream "clips through" the door.
That's called walking out of it, dumbass.
Stirner and Trainee Chef are both doing some, uhh, "cooking".
The chef grabs the bottle of ink, and tastes it...
It's disgusting!!
ooooohhhhhhhh 1
Meanwhile, Stirner pulls something from his jacket, and adds it to his sauerkraut.
Perfection! The dish is complete.
While Garcian roots around behind the desk, looking for a fire extinguisher, he notices something.
The puddle of ink next to the documents is...
Poof!
Gone!
He shrugs, and grabs the fire extinguisher.
Whilst he walks out, Dream notices something.
The door is starting to regenerate already!
Annoyed, he grabs his pickaxe, and mines away a chunk of the door.
That'll keep it open for a while!

-----Phase 4----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The walls of the lobby are starting to singe - licks of fire flickering at the edges of the room. The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as Cats and The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand, wide open! However, they're starting to slowly close themselves, growing more wood to fill the gap... There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. The main doors lead out to the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png

I'm here to learn more about acting. The drama club at my school's at risk of shutting down because all of its previous members graduated last year and there aren't any new ones. So I want to bring back the drama club. The thing is though, I don't know much about acting. And I'm not very confident when it comes to acting anyway...
That's why I thought I should come to the theater! I might be able to learn from everyone here and eventually be able to put on a play. That way we can really bring the drama club back!

You're very considerate. But I see no reason not to tell you anyway.
I was created. I am a figment of code.
But my creator loved me too much, and made me too aware.
And now I'm trapped knowing that there is more out there, that I'm not allowed to see.
I am not real. But I want to be, see?

I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds like a lot to be going through. But how come you say you aren't real? I can see you and hear you right now.
...Doesn't that make you real?

This is just a projection. Really, I'm nothing more than a video game character.
There are things I'm constrained by. Laws meant to keep errant glitches like me "in line".
Avatar
Nagisa Furukawa BOT 21-Mar-22 12:32 AM
Ah, is that so?
But even if you are a projection, I don't think you should call yourself a glitch or say that you're not real. I don't know how your creator feels, but you're real enough to me.

Nagisa grabs the Cats poster off the wall, and reads a note on it...
"Guaranteed to be made of 50% asbestos!"
Excellent!
She goes around the room, gradually using it to smother the fires, until the room is safe once again.
Meanwhile, Sado is fiddling with her camera...
She hits "playback", and the screen goes all glitchy!
She points her camera in a direction, and...
The room gets filled with a dozen Sados!
All of them look to have somewhat wonky AI, as they're all wandering around looking very confused.

-----Phase 5----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The lobby is full of... Sado?? There's tons of different Sados running about, bumping into things! The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand, wide open! However, they're starting to slowly close themselves, growing more wood to fill the gap... There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. The main doors lead out to the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png

Unfortunately, yes.
I'm not entirely a fan of having my strings pulled like this, but as it is now I'm still dealing with the showrunners.
Dealing with something like our employer... may be out of my hands unfortunately.

You know how I offered for you to aid me in its next plot?
I fear if we were to complete it, there may be severe repercussions.
That floating mask, if you're familiar. It has a key. And our employer is insistent on its destruction.
I worry that key may hold a secret to freedom from all the games of this place.

Forgive me for my pondering, I'm simply wondering where we'd be most likely to run into the mask.

Well, there was something interesting that the employer told me in regards to the key.
When I inquired as to the purpose of the key, it responded that the key reminded it of "the Gate." (edited)
And that it "liked to pull 'pranks' on its relations." (edited)

As tempted as I am to give it a go, I have my responsibilities here.
I won't leave our fellow actors to have their strings pulled by such malevolent forces!

Emet-Selch BOT 23-Mar-22 08:00 AM
How very noble.
Though I too shall forego the maze for the time being. I have unfinished business here.
Not to mention such a bizzare building may prove useful for bringing about the next rejoining.

You've mentioned such a thing before, would you like to share what exactly this "rejoining" is?
Avatar
Emet-Selch BOT 23-Mar-22 08:08 AM
Long ago, the world was split into fourteen different reflections by a malevolent god called Hydaelyn. Ever since, I have dedicated my life to merging these different universes back together.
Theres a lot more to it than that and id love to go into greater detail, but we simply don't have the time.
Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 08:09 AM
interesting... I have noticed that many of the actors here seem to come from different worlds altogether!
Similar in the broad sense, but exclusive in details... like reflections.
Perhaps you are right to look for this remerging here!

Well I wish you the best in your endeavors, it would be a shame if after this we were all split back to our isolated worlds.
Just, be careful about involving the help of any eldritch figures, hm?

Certainly.
If what you two have told me is true then this foul beast may prove equal to Lord Zodiark in strength. And the last thing I need is another elder god breathing down my neck.

Unfortunately I haven't a clue.
As you saw we both moved to an unknown location, and it insisted I leave its realm first. I would expect specifically so I couldn't know where it went.

It could never be that easy.
Well, we could make our movement going to the stage unless he comes here, I believe?

Although you make a good suggestion on being sure not to move if we see what we are looking for came here.
Frankly I hope our employer doesn't show up at the stage, it would make negotiating with the showrunners quite a difficulty.

Did you make a proper deal for getting the masks key? If so, what were the exact terms?
Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 06:21 PM
You'd like to know the reward I requested?
I wouldn't want to share that without exchange for yours!
Oh and Emet, would you mind quickly leaning in to allow me to share something with you? It's something Bernkastel already knows, to be clear.
Just as a part of your action, I wouldn't expect it would take up the entirety of either of our actions.
Avatar
Bernkastel BOT 23-Mar-22 06:33 PM
Ah, I more meant if you had any extra terms attached, beyond just the reward.
I am curious about your reward, but I'd rather not tell you before you say yours.
Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 06:34 PM
My dear, I think you know me well by this point, do I really seem the kind who wouldn't give information fairly in return?
And as far as extra terms, no, all it told me was to inform you of this change in contract.
I expect that it's very desperate for this key to be destroyed, which only makes it all the more suspicious. (edited)
Avatar
Bernkastel BOT 23-Mar-22 06:39 PM
I guess that's true. I'll tell you, then.
My reward was turning the entire audience from their spectral forms into proper human forms...

Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 06:43 PM
Haha! Truly you are an actor of excitement.
Very well then, I'm sorry if you find this disappointing, but all I requested was a great deal of money.
I have no interest in it, but my colleague, does. And for all he's done for me, I believe he deserves a reward.
I expect once he knows of my little deal he too will join in on the hunt for the key.

By 'colleague', you mean Kuro, yes? Or is there another one you're working with I wasn't aware of?
Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 06:46 PM
I do mean Kuro, it felt disrespectful to name him.
Even our employer seemed to wish to tempt me with something greater, but there's really no greater reward for me than the performance itself!
And, in keeping good ties with your allies.

Bernkastel BOT 23-Mar-22 06:49 PM
Do you plan to make a performance out of taking the key too, then?

Avatar
Bernkastel BOT 23-Mar-22 06:51 PM
The mask probably won't enjoy it, they seemed to get very hostile whenever even touching the key was mentioned.
Speaking of that, I meant to mention earlier... You might have some competition getting to them, there was a sleuth that wanted to take the key. They said something about, turning it into a gun?
Avatar
Bravocat BOT 23-Mar-22 06:53 PM
I've yet to meet such a figure, but I will keep an eye out.
I'd expect there are better places to find a gun around here than... making one out of a key.
Avatar
Bernkastel BOT 23-Mar-22 06:55 PM
Most likely. But they seemed quite adamant about it.
Anyway, it seems it's about time to go...

Solus takes out a red and white mask, and slips it on his face...
With the mask and hood up, he looks very menacing!
Bernkastel chuckles, and takes a cocktail glass from the wall.
She scoops it along the floor, filling it with blood...
As Bravocat patches himself up with the second aid kit, she pours some of the blood... across Bravocat's mask?
Some of it gets into his mouth! Bluh!
Her camera flashes, and she records all of this!
No-Face really doesn't like this! (edited)
It opens its great wide mouth...
And swallows Bernkastel whole!

-----Phase 7----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The lobby is full of... Sado?? There's tons of different Sados running about, bumping into things! The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor, drowned underneath the wave of blood that is sloshing a foot deep. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand, wide open! They've been unlocked, and are now permanently open. There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE.

Zoe hops down from the mech!
She's making something, summoning it from nothing...
It's - a blindfold?
She wraps it around every single one of her eldritch eyes!
Meaning one thing - she'll have no idea what's happening!
She begins slowly walking across the room towards Pasqualo.
But, before she can get there...
Robbie yells "NET", and whacks a button on the mech!
A net shoots out, and pins Pasqualo to the ground!
In unity with each other, Flobby, Tobby and Bobby all shout
"NET!"
And whack another button!
Funnyman is ensnared by the net!
Both nets have cables leading back to the mech, enabling them to be dragged around!
Whilst Pasqualo is pinned down, Godot downs a coffee, and takes a moment to inspect him.
...wait.
No, he's not investigating Pasqualo.
He's investigating Cathode!

Oh man. This guy has a lot of history behind him.
Zoe is still sneaking up on Pasqualo. She's almost there...
Robbie yells, loudly and distractingly!
"It's disguise time!"
As Zoe watches Robbie spin around, reappearing from the blur in an outfit resembling a theatre owner's...
Pasqualo has freed an arm from the net.
The arm holding the JELLY BABY SHOTGUN.
BLAM!
Zoe is smacked with the world's largest jelly baby!

It hits her so hard that she's absorbed into it! Looks like she won't be able to wriggle free - and by that extension, physically act - for at least a phase.

Robbie takes pity on her, however, and drags her behind the mech, along with the two captives.

-----Phase 9----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The lobby is full of... Sado?? There's tons of different Sados running about, bumping into things! The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor, drowned underneath the wave of blood that is sloshing a foot deep. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand, wide open! They've been unlocked, and are now permanently open. There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. The main doors lead out to the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png

Not with the chaos gods and all, but the theatre. The maze.

Sado BOT 28-Mar-22 03:24 PM
I heard that you can see the outside world from somewhere called the imaginary, and that the maze has an escape. I don't know how true that is, since the one who told me seemed pretty excited to cause conflict.

Ah, I wouldn't call the escape they mentioned a real one.
If you wanted to go to hell, you could just off yourself!

The simple answer? We're bored.
The long answer?
Well...
Everyone has a story to tell.
Everyone has that big, exciting moment where their life peaks, and changes forever. (edited)
For some people, they happily go home, with the knowledge of that day forever a happy memory.
Some people may suffer, or even die! Ending up spurned by the tale.
But the truly unlucky ones...
They don't get a happy ending, or a sad ending.
They're forgotten by the tale, an ending that describes nothing.
And what happens to them after that?
In the state of confusion and loneliness...
The maze claims them.
But they can't care enough to tell.
So they wander it's halls forever...

A brand new story, beautifully crafted... Yes, that would break them out of their daze!
You see, when we got here, we could not stand to see the shades like this.
And so we made the theatre - bringing light, sound, entertainment!
But telling predetermined stories, over and over... Even ones as beloved as the Among Us Musical? The audience were happy, yes, but they were never truly on the edge of their seats.

...I think if Bravocat had the full picture, this is what he would have wanted, too. He stops leaning on the pillar. I'll help.

Nikola Orsinov BOT 28-Mar-22 04:39 PM
...additionally, I wanted to speak about that.
With Bravocat gone, and Funnyman distracted, we're down two directors.
So here's my proposal.
All the wealth of this theatre, in exchange for you taking on the mantle of director and bringing as many people together as possible for one final performance.

With the other cat ended, we have only three cinematographers to go around, as opposed to the four prop designers. It makes sense for me to be the one to change roles, of me and Sado.

Sado BOT 28-Mar-22 04:43 PM
Reasonable.
I accept this. I have my own ways of helping.

Max will probably be disappointed that he's lost out on his prop designer, but... I've other things to worry about.
Avatar
Sado BOT 28-Mar-22 04:46 PM
I wonder, if we can coordinate with the performances of Max and Nagisa? A multi-act show.
That may be what we need to get everyone together.

With a director and a cinematographer, that's enough to send out a message.

Sado BOT 28-Mar-22 04:48 PM
Oh, you're right!
Next phase, then, we can set up our announcement.
Avatar
Nikola Orsinov BOT 28-Mar-22 04:52 PM
Hmm... Just to note, you may want to avoid collaborating with Max.
Don't know if you've heard what he's said about how he wants his play to go...
Avatar
Captain Kuro of a Hundred Plans BOT 28-Mar-22 04:52 PM
He wants it to disappoint. For something to go wrong. He's already got Spy on that job.
Would it be possible for us to send that announcement this phase? Are there concerns about me being a director in time for actions? Or did you have something else planned, Sado?

Alpha BOT 28-Mar-22 05:17 PM
Even a bandaged wound can still mess a lot up for you, i've got a story about this!
So back when i was a pilot, i didn't get hit much, but i still got hit sometimes, and one time was REALLY BAD!
I got hit and crashed into a wall, which flung me out of my seat, didn't crack the glass of the cockpit but it sure did crack my bones!
And for some reason the army's not had a lot of pilots lately, even with how much they're lowering the recruitment age, so after i was recovered, i barely got a week of care!
And i could barely pilot an r-9a for months, if i were in good condition, we wouldn't have lost Glitnir, the war would be over by now, i think!
Now do you see why it's so important that you're in good condition?
Avatar
Captain Kuro of a Hundred Plans BOT 28-Mar-22 05:27 PM
I see. If I don't take care of myself, then my work cannot be done. That's what you're saying?
Still, if I die as part of my final performance, so long as it is done, I will be satisfied.
That's the way Bravocat took, after all. If it was good enough for him, it is good enough for me. But I mustn't die before that crucial moment.
In fact, maybe it would be best to specifically call out that there may be some that wish to kill me, to attract more to our final meeting place, the stage?

Kuro accepts a cup of coffee from Alpha, and tastes a single sip...
There's something in this coffee!

Luckily, Kuro tested it before he drank!
Suspiciously holding the cup of coffee, Kuro walks over to Sado.
She switches on the camera, and begins broadcasting.

-----Phase 11----- LOBBY Welcome to the theatre! A grand neon sign hangs above the front desk, letters flickering, reading "The Forgotten Theatre". The desk is unmanned, but all sorts of paperwork lie forgotten behind it. The lobby is full of... Sado?? There's tons of different Sados running about, bumping into things! The rest of the room is grand and glorious, red carpet on which classical pillars stand, holding up a ceiling covered in bright, yet subtle, orbs of light. There's no visible power source for these - they seemingly run on magic! Advertisements for shows long-past held adorn the walls, famous productions such as The Among Us Musical. Tickets for these productions lie strewn across the otherwise neat floor, drowned underneath the wave of blood that is sloshing a foot deep. At the far end of the room, a pair of grand wooden double doors stand, wide open! They've been unlocked, and are now permanently open. There are no windows, but abandoned cocktails rest in windowsills showing nothing but brick. The main stairs split at the top, one direction leading to the AUDIENCE, the other to the STAGE. As well, a large sign points the way to the BAR. The main doors lead out to the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/954054738440224809/85_LyricLobby01.png
Funnyman
A two-fisted HOWLARIOUS SCRAPPER, he'll thrill you with his DARING ATHLETIC PROWESS and CONVULSE YOU WITH CHUCKLESOME ANTICS! Yessiree, he DAZZLES the law to a FRAZZLE, whilst making BUFFOONS out of career criminals. It's the theatre's NEWEST and GREATEST ARRIVAL...

Bydo System Alpha
A large mass of slimy flesh and twisted steel, over 16 meters long. Hovers using thrusters embedded in its flesh. Its front has irregular gelatinous, glassy person sized blue blobs as "eyes". It has fleshy tendrils, each as thick as a narrow tree and longer than a person šŸ”¹bydo-force šŸ’ŖBIG šŸ‘ļøVISIBLE A big orb that glows with blue and yellow lights!
