The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city. However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of thunder... This is the Team Yzma Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log. Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions & Participation Reporting. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links; the moderators will try to keep up with threads, but as we are currently running several teams with participation, we require you to keep us up to date! Please read each of the toplevels and instructions!

WEEK TWO OBJECTIVE

[recollecters]

It's been a long couple of days, hasn't it, team? The party members may have found a way to entertain themselves but it's high time to move on and forward. On August 10th, the same robotic voice cheerfully chimes "the doctor will see you now." This time, however, the door in front of the group buzzes and slowly swings open to reveal a hallway. The voice will repeat its mantra until all party members gather their belongings and walk single file through the hall, stepping into the doctor's office.

Oh. Sorry. Did we say office? We meant lab. The lights are dim and the equipment steams and sputters. Brass and gold ornaments of all kind stick out from all directions. As they walk down the main path and up along the stairs, they'll see empty beakers and vials lie scattered, though please mind the broken glass at your feet. Walking forward, it becomes clear that they have two options.

In front of them is a large platform with two rooms, four tubes surrounding each one. The lights on these tubes are dim, and each room has a sign. The first says: Operating Room and the second reads: Escape Pod. The door to the waiting room slams behind them and the voice echos overhead.

The doctor will be in shortly! The doctor is with another patient!

Judging by the state of the lab, you may not want the doctor to see you at all. From their position on the stairway, party members can see hallways with other patients' rooms that are clearly occupied. Looking back, they will see along the main walkway up to the operating room and escape pod levers and buttons are embedded to the floor and railings. These levers and buttons allow platforms rise and fall to shuttle members around the lab to explore the various rooms. However, they may wish to check out the escape pod first. A bloodied manual lays on the console of the escape pod, right next to a rusted-looking lever. The manual's open to a specific set of instructions.

Step one: brew blue
Step two: ink pink
Step three: screen green
Step four: ...NOTHING RHYMES WITH ORANGE, JUST POUR THE ORANGE ONE IN THE TUBE, TOO!

Somewhere overhead, chains rattle and the sound of a tablesaw buzzes in their ears. With the escape pod being their only way out, the group must find a way to activate the pod and pile in before the doctor makes a house call. For some members of the group, there may be additional items if Retrospec wished for them to have them.* Hope you remember your chemistry...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Find the right potions needed for the combination for the chasms. Pull the lever.**
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Submit at least five lab exploration threads/five potion threads.

The primary objective is required to "win" the week two objective! Completing the secondary objective is optional and may allow team members to gain extra tools/items for next week's objective. Threads which progress toward either objective should be reported to this toplevel. Your primary objective cannot be completed solo, and will require you to work as a team!

For this week's secondary objective, please comment here with which area of the lab you will be exploring! Please also use this time to opt out if you do not wish to play with any potions or oddities that may be found as these will be scattered in various locations! As none of the areas of the lab are connected to the main path, mod flavor text will be standard to get you to your destination, but please let me know if you'd like mod tags in your thread instead.

At least 8 of 11 team members must participate to pass. You must also solve the objective; be sure to communicate with your teammates and please let the moderators know of any drastic player action; for the primary objective, please let the moderators know what parts of the lab you're exploring or if you would like a potions thread as effects will vary! Alternatively, there may be other creatures lurking in the lab...

*At this time, if you put in for an item regain to be delivered during week 2, characters will now receive these items!
**Forgive my hideous work-desk art skills, I'm sorry

OBJECTIVE REPORTING

[recollecters]

Any objective progress/solutions should go here! You do need to thread out the completion of the objective in full.

[parodeity]

Primary #1/Secondary #1: Brew Blue! featuring Carmen & Dave in Lab 1.

[glaciers]

Primary #2/Secondary #2: Orange potion vials in Wing 2 with Yato and Shouto

[doitrockapella]

I don't know how we're numbering these but here is a Primary/Secondary: Carmen and Dave Brewing Blue!

And here is another Secondary: Carmen and Pen Find A Key

[mincingminuet]

Not a primary since they didn't find a potion but A secondary one here, Pen/Emil exploring a room and finding all sorts of neat stuff.

Re: OBJECTIVE REPORTING

[frisyr]

Finding potion ingredients with Dave, which I am not sure whether that's primary or secondary-- Emil didn't find a potion! So this is the closest he got to primary IG?

A secondary of exploring with Penelo.

[elevelvetor]

Primary number whatever and secondary number whatever! Screen green and llama blood for the pink potion, featuring Kaiba, Lucy, and Elizabeth in Lab 2. And special guest Dr. Halliday, thank... you... I'm too tired to count rn please have mercy on me.

[tarotcards]

Juzo and Souji exploring Wing 2!

So half of the primary objective (since they only found half of the pink potion) and also a secondary objective!

[goen]

dicking around as animals while the pink potion is brewing i guess

ROOM INVESTIGATION/PUZZLE SOLVING/POTION MAKING

[recollecters]

Please respond here with which characters are in the group (at least two minimum, three maximum if you are requesting mod comments to the thread instead of simply flavor text; in these cases please let the moderator know the tag order in your request) and which area they're attempting to access! Please also provide any additional notes you may need to make. Keep in mind some of these rooms may have traps/potion effects/etc.

Please note this is for OOC requests/information, not the exploration threads themselves, thank you!

[parodeity]

carmen and dave are gonna be trying to get to lab 1, ty! what gauntlet do we have to do to get over there/what is there. can dave run on a wall if that's a chasm and just carry carmen over stupid rooftop ninja style with flashstep.

[recollecters]

I should tell you no just because DAVE SHOULDN'T GET TO FLASHSTEP.

But I digress. Dave, in theory, could run along the wall between the end of the hallway and the lab itself but it will be difficult especially if he's actually carrying Carmen! Especially because if Dave doesn't watch his step, there will be pillars that shoot out in the wall to prevent easy access. As it turns out, the Doctor really liked memory games. So. It's possible, but difficult. Otherwise they can find a variety of levers and knobs on the pathway leading to the hallway of ? that will raise up a series of platforms over to the lab.

In Lab One, they will find what appears to be files upon files and notes about body mutations! There are walls of blood samples and a brewing station for potions, including a beaker with a bright yellow liquid. There's also a hospital bed with a cover over the top that...may...be hiding something? We just don't know.

There are no windows in the lab, but should they touch any of the blood samples the lab's door will shut (and what else were they expecting by this point?) and leave them in the dark save for the glow of the liquid in the beaker.

A pattern of lights begins to bounce across the blood vials, two at a time lighting up. They will have to follow the light pattern in a game of Simon Says to find the correct vials. The lights will highlight vials that Carmen and Dave must pull in the correct order, but they must only remove the vial at the end of the pattern. Each pattern has about five steps, and once the vial is obtained they need to pour drops of blood into the beaker in the correct corresponding pattern. There should be five correct vials, so five patterns, five vials and five drops. Once this is completed, please let me know!

[goen]

Yato and Shouto will be heading into Wing 1! Can Yato just carry Shouto and jump up there or is there like... blockage... also what is in there, what are the R 1-3's there on the diagram

[frisyr]

Pen and Emil are gonna be trying to get to the operating room! What troubles are they gonna run into? And uh

If there's anything glowing Emil is gonna touch it, is this a bad idea?

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy, Elizabeth, and Kaiba will be exploring Lab 2! What's going on in there? Or on the way there.

[tarotcards]

juzo and souji will be exploring wing 2!

[parodeity]

having finished their first rooms, emil will be taking dave-cat to storage room 1. also dave has the blue potion, the werewolf cadaver, and those notes from lab 1 in his inventory. so that's...a thing..............?

ANYWAY, WHAT WILL THEY FIND.

[mincingminuet]

Pen and Carmen are going to investigate Screening Room 1. What should we know?

[goen]

Yato and Dave have obtained the key from Carmen and Penelope and are trying to use it to get into Storage 2! How does that go.

RETRACING STEPS

[frisyr]

A group of us are in wing 2 searching for plates and utensils/napkins to eat Yatos cake, as well as gather like cups/bowls/potion receptacles, and steal more food, before heading to a lab to brew pink.

Can these items be found /stolen

[goen]

They're brewing pink while eating birthday cake I guess

Lucy told you already but figured we should make it official

[goen]

OK sINCE WE SHOULD PROBABLY FINISH OBJECTIVE 1.

ONCE THE PINK POTION IS DONE, THEY'LL HAVE ALL THE POTIONS. ONCE THE PEOPLE DE-ANIMALIZE WHO WANT TO DE-ANIMALIZE, THEY WILL ALL GO TO THE ESCAPE POD

WHAT SHOULD THEY EXPECT??

WING 1 | YATO + SHOUTO | ITP: ty tries to organize cats

[goen]

[ Wow lucky Yato!! After drawing straws, he got paired up with his favorite Friend. It looks like they're off to Wing 1! Yato looks at all the levers and shit for a moment, but quickly decides it's too much effort. Plus, what if there's a wrong combination and it kills them all, who knows.

So Yato is gonna cheat the system! Defy the man! Rage against the machine!! And pick Shouto's high schooler ass right up. ]

Ready? We're going!

[ Before Shouto can protest, Yato leaps right off the stairwell and lands on a platform below and slightly closer to the destination wing. Don't freak out Shouto, it's just a bunch of bottomless blackness they're jumping over nbd. And if Shouto won't fight him, Yato will just hop right up into wing 1...?? ]

[glaciers]

[Shouto was starting to kneel down and just make an ice pillar to get them over the wreckage, but that's completely thrown when Yato just picked him up and jumped.

Shouto just screams and clings very very tightly.]
