Final Trial

[bringmecontracts]

[After everyone is done investigating the rooms, they will hear a faint creeek from the mansion’s entrance. Once they heads towards the noise they will discover a set of stairs leading to the basement that definitely weren’t there earlier.

Once they head downstairs, they will find themselves in a long hallway that seems to stretch out forever. It doesn’t, luckily, but eventually the hallway ends at a large empty room, with just a throne in the center.

The living guests will immediately realize they're not alone because King Dice is here already laying across the throne and smoking a cigar. He grins at the survivors and stand up.]

Well congrats, kids! I must say I’m impressed that that you managed to get down here alive, considering who was leading ya.

Now, I’m sure y’all have a lot of questions about what’s going on but I gotta settle something first:

[He looks directly at Michael.]

Mikey, I believe we have to finish our arrangement now.

[oh_worm]

... seriously?

[udderly]

I don't suppose you know how to, like. Perform a space exorcism or something?

[oh_worm]

I am not a qualified spexorcist, no.

[in4apounding]

Do you think that's something we could just- call for, or something?

[oh_worm]

I don't... think he's a ghost. He looks more like a vapor-based sentient being? Those are a thing.

[in4apounding]

[You're the one who brought up spexorcisms Beth.]

You think if we made a really big fan it would work?

[codeofhero]

...I'm sure we have something for that.

[in4apounding]

I could swing around the desktop as fast as I can.

[It would make at least a little breeze....ish.]

[codeofhero]

I'm sure we will... map out a strategy.

[That took considerable effort.]

[in4apounding]

We have to figure out some way to stop him, we can't just let him keep doing this-

[Hang on.]

...Fizzy's pendant. The rainbow thing.

[udderly]

[. . . I'm a liar. I lied earlier, Otis has definitely also been wearing a depressed rainbow since Fizzy died.

He gives Penny a thumbs up.]

[oh_worm]

[ otis brought up spexorcisms!! ]

I mean... for the minute it would take him to get around the air flow, sure.

[in4apounding]

[Otis brought it up, you validated it, Phas misread the posts.]

Mmm. That should probably be at least Plan B, then. Or a distraction from whatever Plan A is.

[Zwei barks helpfully, mostly to remind everyone that he exists.]

[standsforrevenge]

I ain't afraid of no vapor-based sentient beings.

[georgecsmoke]

Yeah, like I said! A friend.

[oh_worm]

A friend from... Universe A?

[georgecsmoke]

Bingo!

See, I was part of this race that got well...decimated by a group of heathens. I’m just trying to repopulate.

[oh_worm]

Hence the "revenge" part. But uh... how does your species reproduce, then? Do you do the chest explosion thing but with weed?

[georgecsmoke]

Nope! For that I needed sacrifices.

Weed just makes ya feel good.

[bringmecontracts]

It sure does!

[candymancan]

And who or what were the heathens?

[georgecsmoke]

A bunch of lunatic Disney characters. Duh. I think there mighta been a handful of anime’s too.

[udderly]

Well, I have a jar of explosive glue.

[It's the only thing he brought with him, actually.]

[oh_worm]

I don't think it'll do much to him. Maybe if we had a vacuum cleaner?

[udderly]

[Otis whips around and points at Jerry, who is obviously here.]

Weird mouse! Do something useful and build a stupid trap for the smoke.

[The mouse blinks at Otis before going back to whatever dumb shit it was doing before.]

. . . Worth a try.
