Berkeley's Phantasmagoria

[Hello Purvis]

>Murders do a number on one's memory =[
>Take it out, look around for places to use it.

>Murders do a number on one's memory =[
>Take it out, look around for places to use it.

>You take it out. You don't see anywhere to put it in the fake door, though...

[Hello Purvis]

>Walk around the house. Poke at the hollows with it.

[Serela]

>Walk around the house. Poke at the hollows with it.

>You move around to the hollow at the window and poke it with the key.
>You feel a large burst of magic and suddenly the wall just isn't there anymore; instead, you see some stairs leading upward.

[P♂ zeal]

>I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO. I TOLD YOUAscend stairs.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Berkeley, you suck..."
>Put the key away, take the orb in hand. "Thanks a lot, that really helped out!"
>Enter.
>What does a burst of magic feel like, anyways?

[Serela]

>"Berkeley, you suck..."
>Put the key away, take the orb in hand. "Thanks a lot, that really helped out!"
>Enter.
>What does a burst of magic feel like, anyways?

>It was Azalea's Key god dammit, what did you think it was for?!
>You put away the key and wield the orb, stepping inside the entrance. The wall reappears behind you.
>The Goddess Orb doesn't seem to react to your words.
>Sex.

>I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO. I TOLD YOUAscend stairs.

>You walk up the stairs, and find yourself in a large room. There's a nice green rug and a comfy looking couch, along with some other furniture, odds and ends. Light shines into the room through a window. It looks like this is the entire first floor.
>There are stairs going upwards in one corner of the room.

[P♂ zeal]

>Sex.

[I lol'd]
>Roll up the rug, check if anything's under it. Also take the rug with you.

[Hello Purvis]

>Well that explains Veronica, doesn't it?
>Have a look at the odds and ends.
>No stealing the rug, we lack the appreciable beef needed to carry it. Also it probably has furniture on it.
>Check around where that other hollow spot was.

>You check under the rug, and find A DEAD BODY nothing. Not even a dustbunny.
>Why in the world would you steal a rug, anyway?
>It's just random knick-knack kind of things. An Ice Palace snowglobe... fairy statuette... framed picture of a crowd of people in Wintervale... it makes the place feel warm and homey.
>You're not exactly sure where it is... but you imagine it's probably another entrance/exit. You could likely find it if you dragged the key along the wall.

[Hello Purvis]

>Maybe later.
>Head upstairs.

[P♂ zeal]

>TAKE. THE RUG.

[Serela]

>TAKE. THE RUG.

>You roll up the rug; you think you can probably drag it along. But it'd be difficult to get it upstairs. You'll just try to remember to get it on the way out.

>Maybe later.
>Head upstairs.

>You head up the stairs. At the top you find three doors.

[Hello Purvis]

>Leftmost door!

[Serela]

>Leftmost door!

>It seems to be a bedroom. There's a large but simple bed, with slept-in blankets and pillows on it. It looks quite comfortable.
>Next to the bed is a small table with an alarm clock on it.

[Hello Purvis]

>Check the table for drawers, and contents.

[Serela]

>Check the table for drawers, and contents.

>There is indeed a drawer. Inside you see a white ribbon, with "Azalea White" on it in black.

[COPIRIGHTO]

>Examine the ribbon

[Serela]

>Examine the ribbon

>It's a pretty long ribbon. As in, REALLY long. If you tied it around your own hair, both loose ends would probably to your knees or lower.

[Hello Purvis]

>Is there any indication it feels like sex magic?
>Pocket it, regardless. It could be useful for something.
>Examine next leftmost (IE: Middle) door.

[Serela]

>Is there any indication it feels like sex magic?
>Pocket it, regardless. It could be useful for something.
>Examine next leftmost (IE: Middle) door.

>No, but you aren't exactly skilled in identifying magic. The magical burst from the key opening the wall was probably a very intense amount; I mean, the wall just disappeared out of nowhere! And then reappeared after you walked through it!
>You spend a minute getting all of it into your pocket, and then leave the room to check behind another door.
>This appears to be a bathroom. Actually, it's definitely a bathroom. It looks just like one from your world; blue tiles on the floor, the toilet, sink, bathroom cabinet with a mirror in front...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Wow."
>Check the toilet, to see if it looks like it works
>Then check the medicine cabinet.

[Serela]

>"Wow."
>Check the toilet, to see if it looks like it works
>Then check the medicine cabinet.

>Seriously!
>You look inside; it seems like a regular toilet. You flush it, and a miasma of colors flash about the drain, all the water disappearing. And then it fills up again like any other toilet would. Fascinating.
>Inside the cabinet are various bottles and vials of different sizes, shapes, and colors. Most of them have a label.

[Hello Purvis]

>Read the labels. This business doesn't look like the usual tylenols.

[Serela]

>Read the labels. This business doesn't look like the usual tylenols.

>There's too many for you to want to read them all, but you skim over. You notice one says "Depetrify" on it.
>Any other specific words you want to look for?

[Hello Purvis]

>Nab that Depetrify
>Consider the feasibility of shoving the whole lot of them into the backpack

[Serela]

>Nab that Depetrify
>Consider the feasibility of shoving the whole lot of them into the backpack

>Nabbed! Mission success!
>Oh crap; your mom interrupted things before you ever started on the backpack, and after you took care of your mother, you never remembered to get it! You definitely can't take most of these potions with you. You could grab a few more if you want to, though.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Berkeley, you suck..."
>Grab a few that sound handy.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Look for labels mentioning something curative, "Healing Potion", "Elixer" and such.

[Serela]

>"Berkeley, you suck..."
>Grab a few that sound handy.

> Look for labels mentioning something curative, "Healing Potion", "Elixer" and such.

>You shouldn't put yourself down TOO often...
>You grab Heal, Bomb, and K.O.Gas. Ah, these should come in handy!
