Player Plot: A (skele)ton of Work

[einspine]

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).]

Dang, Kuja ain't looking too good.

...Yeah, he can fix that.

Asriel snaps his fingers and everything gets kinda weird. It's like Kuja just save-stated to two hours ago, back to normal and perfectly healthy.

Woo!

With so much raw power, the Chimera gives one last pitiful roar before collapsing in a smoking heap from the continued barrage of attacks. As it falls, it drops a considerable pile of money. When split even among the party, each of them will get 10,000 gil!

Best of all, the chest is unguarded.

Should they open it, they will find a Temple Key. Congratulations!

Kuja is, quite suddenly, fine. "Oh. What- Ah, time magic." He dusts himself off, and collects his share of the fee. "Thank you, Asriel. Now... this looks mildly important."

Red's sole regret was that he wasn't able to punch all three faces. Oh, well; still showed that thing who was boss.

"Did we pass any locked doors on our way here?"

[whirluendo_of_puns]

Wow, everyone in this team has such cool moves. Uendo lets out a breath of relief. All in all, this could have gone a lot worse.

He joins the others while Eos continues to heal anyone who's still injured.

"Ah, this must be for one of the locks on the 100th floor. Great work, everyone!"

[peace_through_empathy]

Megatron nods. "Great work indeed. We worked well together." His Eos also joins with Uendo's to make sure everyone is healed.

"In any event, we should meet back up with the others now that we have the key. Let's..." he pauses for a moment, then smiles a bit, mostly to himself. "...Roll out."
