Yuletide 2 - Battle 1

[cascadingfailure]

[ Once you enter the Escape Room, a series of messages pops up on your phones: ]

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wellll it looks like Naffy's out of commission? It'll take her awhile to reboot with how hard she just got hit by the autocensor!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Whatever you did, it really made her mad! Haha!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway since I know what's going on now, I'm happy to help! It looks like the nature of the threat is a gang war between an evil thought sealed and another that you all and your fans helped to return to the world of the not-so-living? Wild!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: In case you didn't get the memo, this means you're going to explore the combination WcDonald's and Damned Queen's Cookies!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There you'll find something you're looking for, probably…? But mostly you're looking for a way to contain the outbreaks!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: And fortunately, we've received a message from a friendly entity known only as "The Borger King", who apparently has a stake in the downfall of Lonard's lost empire…
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: It says:
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There is a war going on for your mind. Steal their secrets. Create the Ultimate Prankburger. The king awaits. Salvation will come.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wow! It looks like it's time for corporate espionage, or something?
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway, you get to keep everything you find, unless it's a dolphin! That's mine.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Better get going! Charge!!!!!

[ And then everything goes white... ]

Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[cascadingfailure]

Now Playing - Through the Fire and the Flames



This is the Freezer, the second holliest and third jolliest location in the Damned Queen's manor. Here she stores the supplies needed to create her ultimate cookies, which is why there are meat hooks hanging from the ceiling. Besides that, there's just stacks of barrels with strange black goop, as well as a bunch of wrapped giftboxes everywhere.

Also...a recreational slot machine?

In the center of the room is an idol, emanating dark Yuletide magicks - it seems you won't be able to progress further without dealing with that, but how can you even get close to such a thing…?

You can return to the Lobby.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ cool. no bodies, but meat hooks.

and black sludge. that's cool.

He looks at the Dark Yultide Idol, humming in thought. ]

How do we turn it off?

[bondsofsuffering]

Combat, maybe...? But I'm no good for that.

The shopkeep had weapons, but we don't have money to buy any.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he scans over the room again...

...then, stops. ]

What about those gifts?

[bondsofsuffering]

Want to see if we can grab them and see what they are?

[heavenlyvisitor]

It's our best shot right now, I think ...

[bondsofsuffering]

Alright... want me to go first?

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ nods. ]

Try it, and if something happens, I've got your back.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Going to try and quickly grab a gift box to bring back with him without disrupting anything else, hopefully?]

[cascadingfailure]

Congratuation! Get equipped with:

GIFT BOX (Wrapped)

It is a gift box.

[heavenlyvisitor]

You did it!

[bondsofsuffering]

[Bringing it back to Tenn.]

What do you think the chances are it's filled with some kind of poisonous gas or something...?

[heavenlyvisitor]

...Higher than I'd like. Open it, though.

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[bondsofsuffering]

[So what's this area look like now that we bombed it?]

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[idolpro]

It looks the same. Nothing's changed, except Hatsune Macaroni is dead.

The ice has chipped.

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[bondsofsuffering]

Are you serious?

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[heavenlyvisitor]

--Were they actually bomb-proof?!

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[bondsofsuffering]

I guess she wasn't in a gift box after all...

[???????

Is there anything else to examine in this freezer? If he coughs a little blood onto his sleeve, that's fine.]

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[idolpro]

There are gift boxes.

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[heavenlyvisitor]

I'm going to cuss.

Re: Damned Queen's Cookies - Freezer

[bondsofsuffering]

Cuss away.

[heavenlyvisitor]

...No, I won't let them see me break.

Should we open any more boxes, or leave and face the Santae?

[bondsofsuffering]

We can go with plan b and have one person open boxes to try to mitigate damages, I guess. If there's no way to regroup, we definitely need more than just one bomb to take on the boss.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ SIGHS! ]

I'll open them, you leave. We'll have a worse time if you're mauled beyond repair.

[bondsofsuffering]

...Alright. But tag me in if you get hurt, okay? I can at least, like - heal, numb, whatever.
