The Great Papyrus (Inverted Fate AU) ([personal profile] einspine) wrote in [community profile] melodiesofeternity2019-01-07 12:28 pm

Player Plot: A (skele)ton of Work

Who: [AU] Papyrus and everyone else attending the expedition
When: January 7th
Where: The I.B. Magitek Tower
What: The I.B. Magitek Tower may rest on top of the ruins of Asura's temple. Thus, it's up to our heroes to investigate the tower in hopes of finding the great Eidolon within.
Warnings/Notes: Let's just say it's gonna get... topsy turvy. ;)

Everything is pre-arranged. The flight to the tower. The appropriate waivers. Naturally, everyone who accompanies Papyrus will have to sign to gain access- the Triumvirate was rather adamant about preserving the more confidential secrets within the tower, after all.

But once the appropriate paperwork gets signed away, the tower staff escorts the group toward the elevator. Though with the sheer turnout, it may take a few trips to get everyone down below.

[ooc: Info and sign ups are here!

As a quick clarifying note, here's the gist of how the temple and tower relate.

- Characters can access terminals on specific floors, which will open up stairways to an upside down and photo negative version of the I.B. tower without any people in it. Characters enter on the ceiling, which is now the floor, but must proceed to doorways that are on the floor (now the ceiling).

- The elevator does not function on these flipped floors, but it does function on the regular floors, which is what will allow them to skip around to key areas.

- For the trials, there are only terminals within three floors of the destination (as outlined in the comments).]

Finn hadn't even noticed the Magitek Armors until that beam went across the field. Ramuh noticed them, too, and that the second one was still in play.

But Finn stepped in front of him, brandishing the lightsaber. "The big one's the primary target. We'll handle the little ones." Little being a relative term. Still, he planned to protect Ramuh as the Eidolon fired Thunderstorm at the Scorpion again.

"It can't hurt, right, Papyrus?" he asked... then, uh- "Right?" Because clarification was important.

Frisk briefly reappears to plunge their blade right into the mechanical guts of the Guard Scorpion, jabbing directly into its servos with an Assassinate that was guaranteed to hut like a son of a bitch thanks to all their LOADed files.

"Trust me, Papyrus, I'm fine. You'll know if I'm hurt!" they yell over the clangor of battle before disappearing again. Although, truth be told, they were a bit... worried. The tower seemed to be following pretty standard game logic so far, which meant that whatever was on the next floor would be even more of a pain to deal with than this one.

Serge can't help but notice that Frisk seems to be doing a lot with regards to disassembling the robot. With Time Mage out, he's less able to attack himself, buuut...

"Hey, other Frisk!" He makes a little donation of borrowed time, casting [Haste] on the ninja. "Knock 'em dead!"

At least they were handling themselves well! Sasami decides to at least help out with more Wind Magic, attacking the Guard Scorpion as well.

"Uhhh hey Papyrus that looks like it's prepping for-" Serge is cut off, unfortunately, by the laser that scythes across him, prompting a gasp of pain.

Locally, there's something like a tape rewinding, as [Time Slip] restores him to the state of a few seconds ago. "Papyrus! Don't do the thing- ah, crap, it doesn't work like that-"

Alright, it looked like they were about to put a wrap on this fight. Just a few more hits, and this would all be done. Then again, there would probably be a massive pain in the ass boss next floor, but Frisk was happy to take what victories they could get.

And then the Tail Laser happened.

They barely managed to flashstep out of the way, but they doubted the others were so lucky. This fight needed to end now, before the Scorpion could press its advantage. Time to experiment.

Haste kicks in, giving Frisk enough of a speed boost to get this party started. Raising their hand up to the floor, Frisk summons their SAVE Star, which begins glowing almost blindingly bright. "Okay, I am done!" they yell. "In the name of whatever planetary bodies are in Vaikuntha's solar system, I will punish you!" The yellow light eventually completely consumes Frisk.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

DETERMINATION MODE ACTIVE!

ALL ATTRIBUTES +200%!

HEALTH DOWN -20% OF CURRENT VALUE EVERY TURN!


When the glow fades, Frisk's outfit is... different. For one, they're wearing a fancy black labcoat embroidered with flames over a suit of golden armor. A scarf completely identical to Papyrus's flaps heroically in a nonexistent wind, and red anime shades have replaced their glasses.

Despite their far heavier armor, Frisk still manages to flashstep again--they still have another round of invisibility, after all. When they reappear, they're behind the Guard Scorpion, massive anime sword extended to the side after an Assassinate and weak physical combo from Justice Mode that's too fast to track.

Attack Potency +250%
Skill Damage +250%
Speed +250%

Klonoa is really glad that he ducked behind cover. He still got blasted, but being blasted less is a lot better than what some of the others just had to deal with. He'd better get back in the game and try to take out both the armor and the scorpion.

He dashes back into the open, carrying the inflated armor with him--

Wow. Frisk looks...

"Looking good, Frisk!" He calls out, before spinning around and hurling a Kinetic Volley at the scorpion--or rather, launching that inflated armor at it bodily for a double-impact! There's nothing like using your enemies as your weapons!

Sasami screamed in pain as the Tail Laser lanced through them. That hurt! That really hurt! Everyone back home would NEVER let her hear the end of it!

"No more... I won't let you hurt me or my friends any more!" Sasami shouted. She was going to get serious now. Forget the Wind Magic, she's dropping Holy on all of those machines!

Finn had been ready for an attack from the armors, not two barrages from the Scorpion. Was it protecting them or was he just unlucky? He figured it was the second one...

With Finn taking such heavy damage, blown off his feet and on to the ground, Ramuh crackled like static and vanished. Well... seemed like he was the one in need of protection now. "Dammit." He hated being in this position.

He used Partial Summoning again, only this time it was Titan that tore through the ground to stand in front of him. Frisk... probably had this for right now.

Frisk takes the tail laser right to the chest, but hardly seems to notice the damage. What is slightly more worrying, though, is the fact that they seem to be sweating some kind of black fluid colored by shining yellow stars. They ignore their pain, however, and extend a hand. "Time to finish this!" they yell, fully leaning into the cliche. A storm of blades accompanied by a massive blast of fire--a Hellfrog with a Justice Mode combo--roars out of their hand and towards the scorpion.

"Frisk, dude, looking awesome! Try not to overdo it, though!" Frisk seems so keen on taking out the big guy, it seems only fair he contribute and charge in oar swinging to strike the remaining armor!

Using [Stave Mastery] with a physical attack. Uncertain how much it boosts attack with staves, but maybe a C or B?
hatejakku: (yeesh)

Finn finds his feet just as the Armor explodes, thankfully taking another enemy off the field. Only now he's a little lost on everything, and Titan is definitely lost.

Only one thing for it. "The big one!" he says, pointing at the Scorpion. Frisk was on the move to attack, but they could at least make the target a little easier.

Titan seems to groan in agreement before lifting his gigantic arms above his head and sending them down to the ground in a Geocrush.

Frisk sways back and forth, weeping determination from every pore, then collapses to a knee, their fancy outfit and sword crumbling to grey dust. Well, at least it worked. It hurt like hell, but it worked. Panting like a dog, they say, "Do you... you think we could... rest for a bit? Heal up? For, like. An hour?" Hands shaking, they fumble through their bag for a bottle of water and chugs it down in less than a minute.

"Seems like a pretty good idea to me," Serge says, pulling a Potion out of his pocket and offering it to Frisk. "You okay? That looked... pretty painful, actually. Cool, though."

Klonoa may have mostly avoided the first laser blast, but the second one? He's wearing it on his face. His ears are splayed back and the entire thing is black even where it should be white from ash, grimacing as he switches to White Mage.

"Yep.. That's enough hero work for today.. time.. time for something else." He says. Burnt fur is not pleasant.

Finn pats Titan on the arm, taking a breath and looking around at the... carnage. If that next floor was worse than this, they're going to need the breather.

He opens his mouth to say as much when he spies the paper amongst all the twisted metal. A wave to Titan - an I got it - and he walks forward to pick up the slip and read it. Then blinks, furrows his brow, and reads it again...

Finn stands up and turns to the group. "Three faces. Three treacherous phases. Brute strength, magical malice, invulnerability and healing to stave off the impending assault. Its faces controlled by ancient stone. Tread carefully, those who seek the final key..." He shrugs and waves it in the air at them. "What's this supposed to be? We're getting warnings now?"

Serge grins, shouldering his oar. "Well, whatever it is, I'll bet we're gonna nail it. Who's ready to do this?" He takes a moment to swap back to [Stave Master], taking advantage of the lull to [Meditate] for a while. "I dunno about anybody else, but I'm ready to beat up some more robots. It's pretty nice having something to wail on that you don't have to worry about the ethical stuff behind breaking it. Kinda cathartic, I mean."

Frisk hisses through their teeth as they examine the note, wincing--and not just from the lingering pain of DT poisoning. Maybe going that hard on it wasn't such a good idea. The healing from the rest of the party helps alleviate the ache, though. "Yeah, this seems like boss territory right here. We should probably chill for a little while longer until we recover our ults--I don't want to fight whatever this thing is without Hellfrog up my sleeve. We might want to wait for everybody else to catch up, too."

"Frisk is right," Finn sighs, then looks up to Titan. "I think I better go alone this time, buddy."

The Eidolon nods before vanishing into static.

Finn uses the time to take out his slate and switch to Gunslinger.

Klonoa shakes his head. "Sorry. Puzzles are my thing, not riddles." The potion sure helped, but he's still kind of feeling a bit... scorched. He throws up a Protective barrier, giving a nod. "Rupu, everybody."
