"Okay, what is this nerdy crap?"

The piece of paper in Tamsin's hands was definitely some kind of nerdy crap, she was sure of it. Still, it was their best shot at at least getting the island back to somewhere that had actually decent bars

Into The Catacombs

[fh_npcs]

They are dark and go for miles.

... well, some parts of them are dark, and if you jogged around them, you'd probably hit a mile or two?

Entrance Hall

[fh_npcs]

It's... nice?

Someone has painted the entirety of it black and installed little lights everywhere, simulating a view of space. There's a turn at the far end of the corridor, blocking off view of anything else.

It might be a touch disorienting. Also, there are moths.

Hall of Doors - First

[fh_npcs]

There are several of these, spread out across the catacombs. All of the doors look similar, but not all of the halls.

In fact, one comes with a disco ball and a revolving platform in the center.

But not this one. This one just has an angry, soggy bunyip.

"A Hall of Doors," Jenkins said approvingly. "Every sentient location ought to have one of these."

Kitty didn't want to ask. But she had to ask.

"...Why?"

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[livingartifact]

"It's essentially a series of compartments arranged in a row. A perfectly reasonable organization method." Jenkins shrugged. "Plus, it's entertaining watching people open random doors and finding strangeness inside. Sentient locations often have to make their own fun."

"I can't actually argue against any of that," she decided.

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[livingartifact]

"And thus you choose not to," Jenkins observed. "Well done. Most people I've met might attempt to argue anyway."

Most people he'd met in the last several centuries were Librarians, Guardians, or magical creatures. All of whom were prone to be argumentative by nature.

"Eh, why waste time in faking an argument when whatever's behind any random door must just eat us?" Kitty reasoned.

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[livingartifact]

"I hope not," Jenkins said with a sigh and a sip of his slushy. "There are relatively few contexts in which being eaten is any fun whatsoever." He pulled a candy bar from his jacket pocket and offered it to Kitty. "Snickers?"

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[throughaphase]

"Uh, can I take a rain check for when we're done with this?" she asked.

Re: Hall of Doors - First

[livingartifact]

"If you like," Jenkins said. "Can't guarantee I'll have any of the current stock left, but barring an island-wide disaster, I'm certain I can acquire another."

Room: RAIN FILTERS?

[fh_npcs]

Take a left turn and pick a door, and you'll find - exactly where the map said it was - the rain filters?.

The rain filters? appear to be enormous grates both on the ceiling and under your feeth. Both of them are raining in opposite directions.

The first five minutes are chocolate pudding. There is then a brief spell of custard, followed by rainbow dye that stains skin and clothes.

You might want to be out before the ping pong balls. You definitely want to be out before the drop bears.

"How is this even a thing?!" Tony wasn't enjoying his trip here. Not at all.

Room: PORTAL ANCHOR

[fh_npcs]

It is literally a room with a giant anchor embedded in it. One of those old-timey ship ones.

It is also covered in angry snipes.

They hiss whenever they see someone enter, and then come skittering off the anchor, chasing after you. Better start running.

Re: Room: PORTAL ANCHOR

[uncertain_dume]

See, Kanan could start running, or he could stand his ground with his blaster, picking the snipes off one by one with all the finesse of a practiced gunslinger and all the aim of a Jedi.

He wasn't going to resort to pulling out his lightsaber on these things. They kind of didn't seem worth the effort.

"I hate this place," he muttered, firing off a few more shots.
