Hm...
>Check if anything about yourself has changed

"I think host person is... occupied, Ranma."
>Well, hey, check the door that was denied access to a bit ago
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wingedcatgirl - 03-13-2021
>Check notes [Alexis]
They match reality as she remembers it, and as it currently exists.
>Check injury [Bow]
Bow's injury looks the same as she remembers it being before.
>Check self [Monika]
She looks the same as she remembers.
>Check exit door [Haruka]
Nothing looks different.

Ranma crossed his arms and shrugged some. "Well it was worth a shot." He said, before
>Looking around some more, or seeing if anything's off yet again.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Florien - 03-13-2021
Yeah, so I'm going to set up the ritual, if you aren't going to help. Because frankly, it leads to like maybe half a death if it works, and ultimately we'll all be fine, and you're kind of letting perfect be the enemy of good here. Like, I don't think we can break down the door or anything. Everyone gets out in the scenario my plan works. In the scenario it outright fails, only one person dies. It's really not that bad. Hell, in the scenario it outright fails like that, you can just not execute me, let me walk out, I'll call up my adventurer friends if I have the ability to, and work on getting you out! Like, I don't think we're going to find a way out that has everyone 100% alive and uninjured. You can keep hoping that a way out will fall in your lap, or you can help me blow open a hole in the fabric of reality and walk through there instead. Your choice.
>Start setting up the ritual equipment, with or without the help of others.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Kennifer - 03-13-2021
Alexis feels reassured about her own memories, at least, although she's still quite confused about what did happen.
And yeah, she's straight up ignoring Kellensea now.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Despair's Archon of Memes - 03-13-2021
Wait... What if...
>Go to the computers and find out anything useful by your skillful hacking skills.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wahoothis - 03-13-2021
As Kellensea leaves, Ranma just looked at the others with a deadpanned expression. "So we're not that desperate to take up Kellensea's offer, right?" He said, before looking around some more.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Subparman - 03-13-2021
“...”
>Examine the outside from the balcony. Anything weird about that now?
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Huney - 03-13-2021
"Hey, Kellensea? That way out, uhm. It may be right here? Right now? Like this second. So I don't think we need to stab anyone?"
"... Tell ya what! Once we get out of here, you can stab me with a toy knife! Won't be the same, I know, but how's that? Would that sate you at all?"
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Kennifer - 03-13-2021
"Absolutely not. She's completely insane."
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wahoothis - 03-13-2021
"Komaru, please don't give her any ideas." Ranma said, putting his hands in his pockets.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wingedcatgirl - 03-13-2021
>Look around [Ranma]
Ranma can't find anything out of place. The medbay's restocked, which is a little surprising, but people said that would happen.
>Set up the ritual [Kellensea]
Kellensea does ritualistic ritual stuff.
>HACK [Monika]
Monika doesn't find much. It seems the hosts only very rarely used the computers. She does turn up a very short text file, though:
Code:
If I can move the boundaries, perhaps I can do other things.
I'll start with something simple. See if I can make... a brick. Just a brick.She's not sure if that has any relevance to the current situation.
>Check outside [Kai]
Nothing seems different. Kai notices that the clouds seem to be surrounding the building entirely, leaving a relatively small bubble of clear air around the floor the facility is on, with only a few feet of the next floors up and down visible at all. He's not sure if that implies anything.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Kennifer - 03-13-2021
"Anybody find anything useful?"
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wahoothis - 03-13-2021
Well. . . This is great. "If by anything, you mean absolutely nothing. . . Well, I'd be having a lost and found bin right about now. Because I'm finding a whole lot of nothing.."
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Florien - 03-13-2021
I like you Komaru, but you're a party member. I can't stab you. You'd have to leave the party. Aside from that, I think this idea is really good, actually. It's based on the same principles as summoning a demon with a virgin sacrifice or whatever, except in this case, we'll essentially be summoning ourselves. Naturally, you'll have an actual choice whether you want to walk through the portal or not, because the spell is non-hostile towards you. But I would recommend walking through, when I get it open. Because I'm going to try this with or without all of your help, and I'd much prefer your help in this.
Kellensea continues drawing awkward arcane symbols, sigil sequences, and other vaguely magical looking things around the door frame, in a wide circle around both sides.
Don't step on these, they might set fire to your hair or something.
Soon, it's looking like some witch-looking door from a cheap haunted house.
Alright, so, I just need the crystal and a stand for it, I'll go track that down. Don't touch the wards, the makeshift conduits, or any of the things really.
>Find a decent sized non-water soluble crystal. Maybe there's some fluorite in the lab. A glow-in-the dark rock seems like a lab thing, right?
>Also grab a heating flask stand.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Huney - 03-13-2021
"Ke-" Like usual, she's not listening.
"KELLENSEA, WE'RE FINDING THE EXIT RIGHT NOW! WHY DO YOU STILL NEED TO STAB SOMETHING?!"
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wingedcatgirl - 03-13-2021
>Retrieve supplies [Kellensea]
The lab does indeed contain the supplies Kellensea seeks.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Kennifer - 03-13-2021
"Yeah, I'm not helping her. We can find a way out without... whatever the hell she's talking about, I've been tuning her out. But I'm sure it's just as insane as all her other ramblings."
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wahoothis - 03-13-2021
"Would it be a dick move if I destroyed whatever ritual bullcrap she's doing right now?"
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Huney - 03-13-2021
"Yyyeah, yeah, let's just... keep a 3 meter distance from her."
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - wahoothis - 03-13-2021
"Make that five feet." Ranma grumbles, before letting out a frustrated grunt and punched a nearby wall. "AGH! What are we supposed to do in this situation? Just walk around aimlessly until something happens or Kellensea stabs someone?" He was kind of hoping something would show up to help them. Anything that doesn't involves rituals where he gets stabbed.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Despair's Archon of Memes - 03-13-2021
I found... code saying something about moving boundaries and making... a brick.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Florien - 03-13-2021
Yeah, yeah, sure, find the exit, cool. I already found it, it's by my method. You're not going to find an exit the way you think you are, I suspect. Of course, my way out should theoretically be stable for about 12 hours at very least, based on the size and quality of what I've got here. So you'll have plenty of time to turn around and use my route when your search fails. I'll accept an apology when you catch up with me.
Kellensea sets up the crystal in the stand, all by guild regulation. OSHA Compliance is important, even when you're planning on making a blood sacrifice to yourself as part of some bizarre scheme to open a portal.
RE: Murder U Too - Day 6: Aftermath - Huney - 03-13-2021
"Could it at least wait until we know for sure that we're not onto anything here?"
