[recollecters]

TEAM PETER PAN

READY: START. Team Peter Pan roster: Albert Wesker, Dark Bakura, Goro Akechi, Karkat Vantas, Lord Light, Naoto Shirogane, Nobunaga Oda, Remilia Scarlet, Ritsu Sakuma, Shin Asuka, Shou Suzuki, Yoshiko Tsushima. 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 the open sea...

[ At the very least all three of them are making good progress as more of the tentacles start dropping with the damage they're taking. There's less and less of them as Shin stepped forward and shot more of the tentacles, having emptied a clip. Now that he realized it he's now kind of close to the Engine Room's entrance. Just a little bit mo—]

JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST!

[ Shin's reflex immediately kicked in as he just fucking leapt back from the MOTHERFUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TENTACLE DOING HERE AND DID IT JUST FUCKING BROKE THROUGH THE DOOR??? ]

Looks like we found the last guard for this fucking door!

[manufactured]

[...That's. Okay. This is fine, he is okay with everything that is transpiring -

He'll ensure that the tentacles near him are dead before he advances, training Samurai Edge's laser sight on the tentacle that's burst through the door; proximity seems like a slightly better idea now that a fair few of the tentacles are going down, Goro please try not to shoot him in the head.]

Look at it this way - it'll make getting inside just that much easier.

[twostringsonebow]

[Oh, so it's fine when you do it, but when they do it it's a mistake, wow, those're some double standards right there, Wesker. At least the door is open. That's great. What the hell do they do with the keys now. He's gonna double tap the ones near him Just In Case and move forward, shaking out his arms and studying over their new foe. Brute force really is probably the best way to deal with it.]

And since we're dealing with it now, we won't be surprised by anything inside. Probably.

[impulsives]

Most likely, yeah! Well, only one way to find out!

[ With that, Shin's going to just start to unload on the freaking tentacle, which is surprisingly more difficult to nail down than the rest. But Shin's starting to get used to working this gun, so he's going to just keep focusing down on it as he jumped back to get more distance from it at least.

Just... a little bit more... ]

[manufactured]

[Listen, Akechi, it's fine when he does it because a lot of these things are dead, and he's also got no fear response or sense of self-preservation, and also yeah okay he's a huge hypocrite shut up oh my god.

He actually has to take the briefest of moments to reload because Samurai Edge's magazine capacity is truly a thing of completely fucking stupid beauty, it's not quite that beautiful, and as such just...give him a second before he joins in on immediately unloading it again, this time with great force into whatever's going on here.

...This thing is feisty as hell and that's annoying. We are absolutely having a calamari party after this? Seriously, octopus for days.]

[twostringsonebow]

[It'll be a bad day if someone's actually allergic to seafood, because that's all they're going to be eating. That, and pasta. Possibly crunchy pasta. No amount of determination will save you if you're on death's edge Karkat.

... Also you'll never guess who forgot that guns tend to need to reload, that would be Goro coming in clutch and wondering why the fuck he doesn't have anymore bullets coming out oh, oh right, okay, right, hold on, he'll be helpful in a second, let him bumblefuck his gun awkwardly so he can also give hell to the tentacle currently swinging like it's throwing a goddamn tantrum.]

Make sure you don't get hit this time!

[impulsives]

I won't!

[ It took them a while, but with the combined effort of Wesker, Akechi and Shin, the final tentacle is retreated through a hole in the wall, leaving the way open. Shin's currently just panting heavily as the adrenaline starts to wear off and he can feel his back smarting like all kinds of hell. But holy shit right now he's just glad that he's alive and not dead. Either ways, he's going to motion to the others to come in now that it's safe. And just head in through the open door. ]

[recollecters]

[Upon entering the generator/engine room, the group will find that the floor is covered in water that comes up to about their ankles. Hopefully you weren't too attached to those shoes you're wearing. Leading down under the ship itself, the party will be able to see just exactly why their ship hasn't been moving, given that at least two of the six engines are completely fried beyond repair. Steam's rising from several pipes and wires spark.

Ahead of them, however, lays a large generator box for emergencies such as this with several colored cords coiled up on the floor. At the top of the console there are five key slots, and at the bottom are three plugs that three of the cords must fit into. Inscribed in the middle is a riddle:

I have seas without water, I have forests without wood, I have deserts without sand, I have houses with no brick. What am I?

[Further examination of the cords at their feet will reveal that they are all labeled with different letters of the alphabet. Solving the riddle may aid in picking the right cords. The key slots above will not be useful until the cords are connected, and even then all five keys must be turned simultaneously.

Oh. And you may wish to hurry. The octopus may have retreated for now, but the steady thud of its tentacles against the side of the ship are a good indicator it's still close by. Good luck, adventurers.]

[alienates]

[ karkat had been back with the rest of the group, but he and one of the others were sent to go make sure that three musketeers were like, alive, or if they needed help. convenient timing, right?

he pokes his head into the engine room a couple of minutes after they first enter in, his sickle in hand just in case there's more tentacles to fight or something. when the coast is clear, he'll walk inside. ]

... please tell me we don't have to deal with fucking riddles.

[ because that sure looks like one. this is bullshit. ]

[notbunaga]

[And you can't send Karkat out by himself in case another slime monster attacks, so she's here too.]

This is getting ridiculous.

[manufactured]

[Who the fuck designed this boat, even the Resident Evil villain thinks this is at least mildly stupid?]

...At this point, this boat deserves everything that's happened to it.

[twostringsonebow]

[It's a riddle he is so fucking excited?? The nerd is excited. Oh boy, a riddle.]

It's no wonder it started to sink, really, though I wonder if those skeletons could've done this themselves instead of simply playing their funeral tunes... At least it's an easy to solve riddle.

[... To him. He loves riddles? His lizard brain is just so happy with this, he is just. He is so happy. Let him, let him, someone can take this gun he's going to shift through the cords for the letters he needs.

MAP]

[impulsives]

[ Shin's off to the side as he looks at the two completely DEAD engine and wondering what in the world fried it that ba-

Oh right, the water coming up to his ankles probably. But still, Shin's just TRYING to make sense of this kind of architecture and design. Why.

Why is this cruise like this. Was this a cruise meant for escape room fans that went awry in the middle? WHY WOULD THERE BE A FUCKING RIDDLE ON GETTING THE BACKUP GENERATORS TO WORK. THAT SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH FUCKING WORK TO IMPLEMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Yea no he's trying so hard to not have a breakdown because of things not making sense guys. ]

[alienates]

[ well while goro deals with that riddle stuff because karkat is not touching that, he's going to point over to where the key slots are. he's primarily looking at aki since they're the ones with the keys. ]

I think we now know what those keys are for.

[scarlet_devil]

Five slots...

[ At some point all of the noise attracted Émilie... and a good thing it did too. ]

[notbunaga]

[That's convenient...she's thankful they found them when they did. Aki reaches into her pocket and pulls out the keys, holding them out.]

Any volunteers? I'll hold onto one.

[manufactured]

...Fine.

[He'll take one, sure.]

[twostringsonebow]

Allow me to take one as well.

[Hella hella.]

[alienates]

Okay so I guess we should just stick all of them in then.

[ wait. ]

... let's do it all at once because that's video game logic and this is stupid like one.

[truedetective]

It does stand to a sort of reason. The only reason you'd need multiple inputs to confirm something is to prevent one person from being able to do it on their own.

Requiring them to be activated simultaneously furthers that barrier.

[scarlet_devil]

[ And last but not least, Émilie takes a key, sticks it in, and prepares to turn it... ]

Alright then... Every one ready? [ A pause, she waits for everyone to get ready... ]

At the count of three... One... two... three! [ Émi will turn her key, and hope the others follow suit. ]

[recollecters]

[With the right cords plugged in and the keys turned simultaneously, the group will find that the top of the generator console folds down and reveals...the opening a submarine.

The ship rocks heavily again with the threat of the tentacles and water gushes in from more holes in the ship. The wise thing to do would be to cut your losses and climb into the sub, adventurers.

Upon entering the sub they will find there are rations, medical supplies, and assorted knickknacks. Once the last member of their group is boarded in the sub the top will seal shut and they'll feel themselves moving through the water. If they attempt to look through the periscope, they may be surprised to find that they're actually much, much deeper in the ocean than anticipated.

Buckle up, Team Peter Pan. You're off on your next quest to...who knows where?]
