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...

WEEK 2 | STORAGE 1 | CAT DAVE AND EMIL

[frisyr]

[ Emil is trying to get to the storage room, but can't figure out how these levers are supposed to work, so he's just.

Trying things out.

He knows there's a buddy system, but he thinks by the time he figures out how to get to the storage room, someone will come by.

In fact, he hears someone now, so he turns around to see--

--A cat? Nevermind. But he heaves a sigh and stoops down to beckon it over. ]

Hi there, little guy.

[parodeity]

[ when will team yzma throw levers properly???

also. the cat walks up to emil. it is wearing dave's shades? ]

Sup, dude.

[ ...ALSO, IT TALKS LIKE DAVE, SO ]

[frisyr]

[ WHAT THE HECK. ]

Dave??

[ His eyes go wide ]

Did you know you're a cat?!

[parodeity]

...yeah, it kinda just happened in the lab? No idea how to change back yet.

[ ALSO HERE'S OUR DIRECTIONS ]

[frisyr]

O....h

Well, I can carry you if you want? Can you help me figure out these levers?

[ He offers his arms to Dave to jump on so he can get a better height. ]

[parodeity]

I think so. [ SURE. DAVE WILL CLIMB TO BE TALL AGAIN, ON EMIL'S SHOULDERS. ] ...I kinda hope there is a way back, but, you know.

[ apparently this might be after one or both of them get the recipe list from their pals so LET'S DO THE LEVER THING.

let dave say wrong lever ]

[frisyr]

This one?

[ EMIL PULLS THE WRONG LEVER ]

[parodeity]

Wrong lever!!!

[ though no one turns into a llama or anything so there is that? ]

Go for the red one, dude.

[frisyr]

Okay.

[ RED ONE IT IS, tally ho let's get going. ]

Oh, neat!

[ Once they get to the other side, he'll gently get off the platform and grab the door handle, which. Um. ]

Do you see a combination lock anywhere? We had to do that last time...

[parodeity]

No, look what the door says...

"I'm with eyes and can't see, and a mouth and can't speak, I'm what one becomes when one reaches their peak."

[ ... ]

What the fuck.

[frisyr]

Um, so it's a riddle?

--Oh, maybe it's a potato!

--Or... a shoe?

Yeah, because shoes have eyes to put the laces through, and a mouth to put your foot in and... Um.... I'm not really sure how it fits into that last one.

[ But he takes his shoe off. To hold on the door. Like Dave held his hand against the cabinet to tap morse code against. ]

[parodeity]

Eye and a mouth...a tornado? Like, eye of the storm, but wait the peak shit don't make sense then.

[ WHY RIDDLES, DAVE ASKS, AS A CAT ON EMIL'S SHOULDER.

why not just stealing more weird dead shit from rooms - oh. ]

A skeleton...?

[frisyr]

[ Emil has his hand on the handle the whole time and nice one Dave, that seems to have done it!

He offers up a fist for a tiny fist bump. ]

Ugh. This place is gross.

[ He walks in and then picks Dave up to put him on the ground so they can split up and search ]

Do you need a copy of the ingredients?

[parodeity]

Nah, I heard it from Souji.

[ THINGS WE CAN FIND: shriveled monkey's paw, the hairs from an elephant, flamingo feathers!!! so. split that up however the heck. ]

...Not sure how any of those things combine to make the color pink, but I'm not the mad scientist? I wonder if they have extra monkey's paws?

[ so he can KEEP ONE ]

[frisyr]

Okay, well if I turn into a monkey you cannot cut off my paws. Deal?

I'll give you the rest if I turn into an elephant or a flamingo.

[ He's still musing about this as he searches, and he blindly reaches into a pile of junk and --

--jumps back, screaming. ]

...Found the paws!

[ He calls out, picking them out of the pile of stuff he knocked to the ground. ]

[parodeity]

Are there extras? [ THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. emil seems fine.

dave has hopped up onto a shelf and is prowling around it, reading the labels as he noses closer to them... ]

The hell is some of this shit?

[frisyr]

I don't know. This whole place is creepy, like that show, hoarders. I mean, we actually found a skeleton! And how much do you want to bet that the hands were real?

If I see a pomegranate around here, the last thing I'd want to do is eat it.

[parodeity]

I want to keep one if so? Also, I found flamingo feathers.

[ they are making progress! ]

Maybe the secret is we are actually on bad reality tv?

[frisyr]

I suggested that to someone once, but then they reminded me that some people used to know and then... forgot.

About the app, I mean?

Though maybe they're just playing this portion and our friends are cheering us on.

[ He looks up towards the ceiling somewhere and cups his hand to his mouth ]

Hey guys, we're alright down here! But if you could let us know where that mad doctor is and how to avoid him, that'd be great!

[parodeity]

[ honestly tho. ]

I kind of like that idea if only 'cause I miss everyone. And like, it is less bad than the alternative? Okay do gnats even have hair? Why is there a jar of gnat hair.

[frisyr]

Uh yeah, they're furry I think.

No, I'm thinking of a moth.

Wait, is all the hair over there? I'll come over and--

[ Emil trips over something while he isn't looking carefully.

Could it be...?

Nah, looks like some sort of pickled eggs. ]

I'd hate to have to run inventory on this place.

[parodeity]

I think this side is mostly hair. We need, what - elephant hair? Was that it?

[ WHAT ARE ALL THESE DUMB INGREDIENTS. ]

Do you think they just wanted a super good fursuit for a con?

[frisyr]

Who makes a fursuit out of flamingo feathers and shrunken monkey paw?

Dave, come on. And the convention's over, they're a little late.

[ He runs his fingers over a few jars and-- ]

Elephant hair!

Alright. I guess llama blood might be around here somewhere.

[parodeity]

If we can't find sea salt we can probably use some potato chips from the vending machine??

[ DAVE...

also he shrugs. his little cat shoulders. ]

I haven't seen too much blood. Maybe these lab ingredients are sorted by type like...even more than by shelf?

[frisyr]

I mean, there's also that other storage room, I think? Did anyone go to check that out?

[ A GOOD TRANSITION ]
