-----Phase 4----- MAZE You don't think you're supposed to be here. The theatre stands behind you, doors now wide open, sign outside flashing. It looks comforting. Safe. In contrast, what lies ahead of you very much does not. A maze of walls, lights, and dreadful, horrible sounds stretches before you. You can't see far, the twisting walls blocking your vision, but you can guess it goes on forever. And yet... A force of tremendous power throbs. You think something's out there, in the maze. The residents of this place don't seem to care though. Shadowy, transparent figures like those in the audience drift aimlessly. Some notice the theatre and wander towards it, but others just stand still. They're giving one thing a wide berth, though - a hole in the ground, the only other exit to this place. A sign above it points down to a village, named... PURGATORY. Or, if you were sane, you'd head back into the THEATRE. ...if you were crazy, however, and wanted that power, you'd head DEEPER. As well, there's a window here, plugged into the theatre's power! It leads to the IMAGINARY universe. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/955198029495943188/1200.png

Problem Sleuth thinks. Really, really hard.
...
A CANDY CORN REVOLVER and a JELLY BABY SHOTGUN appear!
He hands the shotgun to Cathode, and they get ready to pose...
Wait.
Dream ragdolls!!
Cathode and Problum Sleuth shrug.
They pose together, stood on top of Dream's body!
Their pose was so epic, that...
A falling anvil appears, and crushes Dream to bits!
As Cathode and Problem Sleuth leap down a hole, the maze shifts behind them...
A song echoes behind them.

Spark heads a different direction, surfing on their spark board to go twice as fast!
Finally, Mask creates...
A large door labelled "exit." (edited)
They open it, and head through.
it leads to..!
... More maze.
Disappointed, they head back through the door.
Only, the area they come back to is... different from where they started?
... After a moment, Orion sprints in to the same room!
... Followed by Spark, on his spark board.

-----Phase 7----- MAZE Hours spent wandering the maze has just led you in circles, whilst it twists around you. But the further you get in, the weirder it gets. There's piles of objects that have faded into obscurity, unbroken but never used, covered in a fine layer of dust. Occasionally, the maze takes on the appearance of a place - a small town, city backstreets. Unknown, unloved places. The people wandering here look bored. Mindless. Not even bothering to walk around, just stood still. Without one of the artifacts powering it, the maze seems to have grown weaker - penetrable. It'll be borderline impossible to do it on your own, though - you might need a miracle, or something just as strong. If you manage, though, you could probably escape this place... At the minute, the maze has circled around so that you can still access the main door to the LOBBY, or you can sneak around the back of the theatre to the BACKSTAGE. Alternatively, you can keep going deeper. You won't find a way out without a struggle, but there might be something useful out there... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/955198029495943188/1200.png

Spark crosses his arms. Maybe this is all some sort of pocket dimension, or something. Not sure how much that matters to us, though, but hopefully escape is just past all this.

Okay so let me explain what I'm trying to do by getting a memory of home
I want to try and get the stage to work with us on getting back

Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:32 PM
Doesn't it just...Listen to anyone?

Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:32 PM
Well yeah
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:33 PM
Well it'll listen to us too, right?
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:33 PM
But with that and a little extra... Aria, we can probably pull it off better

The horse has the right of it. It doesn't just listen, it channels.

Match always told me I get too dramatic at times
I once had a breakdown and had a standoff with myself in the bathroom mirror, song and all
heh
Maybe I can actually use that for something good and useful for once

Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:37 PM
Well, by your lead, I guess. Just be careful. I can only do so much to protect you myself.

Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:38 PM
So maybe if we channel our desire to leave, the stage will accommodate us!

When I say Aria I mean full on stage emotional moment Aria
I uh, don't know how well versed you are in opera
Avatar
Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:40 PM
Uhhhh, not.
All I can do well is acrobatics.

Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:40 PM
You'll have to guide us, I suppose.

Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:40 PM
Okay so, you know how Opera has those song moments?
An Aria is like when it goes all focusing on one character and their emotions and stuff
And it hits really hard

Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:41 PM
I see, what should we do then?
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:42 PM
Well I haven't planned it out yet
I don't even know what i will do exactly
But we can plan it out
Orion pulls a notebook and pen out of the pile of forgotten items (for roleplay purposes only)

Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:45 PM
Hey, pass me one, alright? Maybe I'll try to write something down, as well. ...Just in case.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:46 PM
Just pull one out of these piles lol

Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:46 PM
Well, I'm a set designer, so if you need anything to be on stage, you got it.

Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:46 PM
Oooooh yeah
Can you put a piano on stage?
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 10:48 PM
Sure thing!

Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:50 PM
Orion begins to notate an opening melody to play.
Actually spark, can you play any instruments?
Avatar
Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:52 PM
Uhh...shoot.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:52 PM
I take that as a no?
Avatar
Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:52 PM
Nah, like...what instrument are you thinking?
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:53 PM
I am asking you for that
I have to work around what we have
Avatar
Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:54 PM
Ah, okay.
Well, I can play violin a bit, and I played a bit of piano a long time ago, if you were thinking that.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:55 PM
That should work well enough
You can play the piano and I can handle the bass
How I play it with hooves is... a question many of our philosophers have lost sleep over
Avatar
Spark BOT 23-Mar-22 10:55 PM
Alright. I may be a bit rusty, but I'll give it a shot.
Feels like a lot of the people here get suddenly more skilled when they're onstage, anyways.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 10:56 PM
Maybe!
I won't make the piano too difficult
So mask, can you also create a bass guitar for me?
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 11:00 PM
I should be able to!
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 11:24 PM
Actually while we are here
Could you maybe pull out a drum machine from the pile of forgotten objects so we can put percussion in the song?
I'll program it backstage
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 23-Mar-22 11:25 PM
Uhhh, how do I identify one of those?

Orion Pisces BOT 23-Mar-22 11:27 PM
Big plate with a small screen and a bunch of buttons

Orion draws a rectangle with a smaller, longer rectangle at the top and a grid of squares on roughly the bottom middle.
Like this!

Orion Pisces BOT 24-Mar-22 07:59 AM
I wonder what those people are doing back in the theater
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 24-Mar-22 01:41 PM
Got it.
Stabbing more people, I guess?
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 24-Mar-22 01:42 PM
probably
Avatar
Spark BOT 24-Mar-22 01:42 PM
Yeah.
Hopefully they haven't done anything to Alpha.
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 24-Mar-22 01:43 PM
You two are close?
Avatar
Spark BOT 24-Mar-22 01:44 PM
...Well, eh. They just seemed nice, we'd hung ou for the first couple phases. Just looks to me like they've got kinda a raw deal too, and everyone else seems kinda suspicious or dangerous.
I guess the Spy guy seemed fine, though? After all.
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 24-Mar-22 01:47 PM
Yeah, somehow.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 24-Mar-22 03:38 PM
I still don't like that he felt the need to stab me in particular
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 24-Mar-22 03:46 PM
Makes sense, but I suppose if you had to be stabbed by somebody, you could do a lot worse.
Avatar
Orion Pisces BOT 24-Mar-22 03:49 PM
it still hurt!

Phanto Mask BOT 24-Mar-22 04:20 PM
Right, I didn't mean to obfuscate that.
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 25-Mar-22 02:53 PM
We're moving to the backstage, right?
Avatar
Spark BOT 25-Mar-22 02:57 PM
Are we?
I thought we were going straight to the stage.
Avatar
Phanto Mask BOT 25-Mar-22 03:20 PM
We can?
Avatar
Spark BOT 25-Mar-22 03:21 PM
...Oh.
Alright, yeah, backstage I guess, then.

Orion and Phanto Mask dig around in the piles of forgotten items.
Phanto Mask pulls out a drum machine! Despite looking like it has led here for years, it's the latest, high-tech, top of the line version!
Meanwhile, Orion pulls out...
Hm.
It seems like it's... hard to see for everyone else.
A crystallised memory, yet to take form.
Something that only means anything to him.
Meanwhile, Spark is searching around for a power socket.
Hey! He finds one!
Summoning as much electricity as he can muster, he pours it into the socket.
...
For a moment, it seems like nothing happened.
But then-
Something opens in the maze wall, high above!
Out of it falls...
The Super Staff!
Spark grabs it, and...
He turns into the Super Jester!
