[ she looks at the name and shrugs. you need to know shinobu's naming sense is even worse than this, so she is just going to accept it. ]
That's fine.
[ ... ]
If they behave as the people I know, I can handle them one way or another.
[ the ones from home, she means. not the ones from the hotel. just from a logical perspective. she takes the items lup gives her and looks them over.
it is suspicious, but what is the worst that can happen? ]
Do we drink this to try it?
[ can she try to take a sip? she doesn't know how this works. that is, if lup can increase their inventory and doesn't default to trying it out. otherwise, she will watch what happens to lup, prepared to smack the items away if they start having an adverse effect. ]
[you can go check out the table once you guys have signed up, yes. let's just address one thing at a time though.
the bottles are potions! they will heal her a little and boost her energy slightly. the squares also seem to help recharge her magic! one square currently gives back two magic slots. shinobu watches this happen and i truly wish i had a potion to make her happy again. please save her.
joonghyuk can start wandering around and asking around, but a few passing students will indicate toward the student store (and their outdoor location of this magical table) before waving him off. you have your bottles as well now. maybe there's a way to get some more?
once they look and approach the table though, they will see a handful of items:
-a fake badass tattoo -a blanket with two eyeholes -a big bag of regular cocaine -a set of weirdly specific greeting cards -more bottles of green liquid -more blue squares -a bigger and better sword -a sturdier staff -a larger shield with spikes along the edges -an erotic fic about dragons -a chained belt -leather gloves
the three of them will also feel a jingling in their pockets. it seems that the stars they collected through the dive have turned into coins.]
[immediately gets rid of these healing potions i don't want them. do not give me healing. shinobu can have them. lup will eat as many squares as is necessary to get all her spell slots back! this is a metaphorical eat before you get on me about vore.
she looks through the items too, and she will buy the erotic fic about dragons. she should get the staff, but she really wants the fic with dragons.
can she try to steal the bag of cocaine or is she going to get arrested for doing this]
[ shinobu will easily take all the healing potions. thank you. that means she can pass a potion on the table up. imagine she heals herself completely by the end of the cyoa so the only thing left is her emotional damage.
she will purchase the chained belt because i'm curious and shinobu doesn't think the leather gloves will fit her. ]
[she will need to eat three squares! be careful, your squares are running low. campus police will shoo them away from the table should lup try to steal the cocaine, but they have their items.
-the erotic fic about dragons can be read out loud to summon two dragons that will chase after an opponent to carry them off to their nest. -the chained belt, when worn, will increase elemental magic resistance and boost defense -the sword is a sword, but it delivers a more powerful strike and can be used to pull off sick combos
the shopkeeper waves them off. as they blink, the sun seems to have gone down. lights around the campus flicker on, and the roar of a cheering crowd can be heard somewhere near the dorms.
it looks like the games might be starting soon. anything else you need to do?]
[ It benefits him most if they're all properly armed? Also, Joonghyuk might care about the belt, but it's fine. He will see if it calls for it, otherwise a squishy should probably be less squishy.
as they approach the dorms, they will find what appears to be five buildings with multiple doors, levels and staircases. the crowd is clustered around a stage, looking up at a man with black hair and blue eyes. walking past the stage, they will see the other four teams. all of them are talking amongst themselves, seemingly discussing strategy. the last house on the end is designated for their team.
they should head that way. the other teams all appear to be sizing them up, though there are no words exchanged. it's a look at the competition. nothing more, nothing less. the man on stage has a microphone and he begins to speak.]
Welcome to the Spell Games! Which of our five teams will come out on top? Study hard and get good to knock out your opponents and take first place. [they gesture to the houses.]
Our first round...Trick or Scream! Each team will have to enter their designated house and find the light at the end of the tunnel. The team that comes in last place will be eliminated from the games! Teams...are you ready?
[above them, a countdown buzzer chimes.
three.
two.
one.
the doors to all five houses fling open, and the other teams begin to rush forward. inside the house for the fan favorites, it appears to be...quaint? cute. homey. nothing to worry about, right?
[ Joonghyuk isn’t a sane showboat, so he’s not going to taunt the other teams.
He will stand in the front! Maybe Shinobu can stay in the back to sandwich their squishy mage. He keeps his new cool sword out, ready to cut at whatever comes at them in this quaint dorm.
Quiet, he waits to see if he can hear anything aside from their footsteps. ]
The round name might imply that this is some sort of haunted house.
[ Is there anything off? Light, where are you? Pspspsps. They will check every room on this ground floor first? ]
[there are all sorts of lights? the house itself is still lit. it looks very much like a suburban home with the floral-print furniture and weird kitschy decor. as they enter the house, they'll see a a stairway leading up to several floors, several doors on the ground floor, and a hallway that leads to the back of the house.
checking the rooms on the ground floor, they find a few knickknacks like cookbooks, fake potted plants, a l*ve l*ugh l*ve sign on the wall, and what appears to be a bathroom and a few bedrooms. the front door closes.
the lights suddenly go off, and they hear the shouts of the rival teams from their own houses as a loud slithering noise is heard above. unfortunately for them, there's one pinprick point of light at the very top of the stairs, and no other source for them to follow just yet.]
the like. second she hears the slithering noise above her she slaps a hand over the back of her neck with one hand. the lights going out doesn't help, and for a second she's frozen.
and then she just very, very quickly goes for the light at the top of the stairs, because she cannot be in the dark, she doesn't like the dark. bye, sorry, y'all can check other stuff out but she's going straight for that.]
[ there's real concern. she runs after her. this is all targeted to harm lup is what shinobu is thinking.
she assumes yjh is going to be a completionist and (yjh voice) if she dies, she dies. she has her sword a the ready because the slithering noise is a terrible sound.
[ Help. Joonghyuk squints when the lights go out, but follows after Lup toward the stairs. He keeps his sword ready, holding onto it tighter with the sound of the slither. ]
Where is the sound coming from?
[ When Shinobu hobbles up to the next floor, he will also make an exit. Slithering isn’t a good sign. ]
[slithering probably isn't a good sign, no! there's the sound of something heavy bodily crashing through the walls, debris crumbling and falling above them. all three of them rolled 18s for some fucking reason, so they manage to escape pretty much unharmed. the slithering continues, a soft purring noise above them as the three of them find themselves soon wrapped up in thick, suffocating and silky wet fur-like tufts.
they can run up the stairs, and soon the staircase moves, swinging them directly into another room that tosses them further away from the exit. a hole has been opened in the ceiling thanks to the crashing, shedding a bit of fluorescent light down and revealing that they find themselves face to face with team dokja. the three women look at them, suddenly nodding in sync and splitting off to run past them and try to make their way toward the exit first as several small, dark furby-esque creatures begin nipping at everyone's feet.]
[nope! absolutely not! she knew it! america's second favorite wizard is panicking, y'all, which means the second that she's anywhere close to the nasty fur, she's going to set it on fire. it's just fire, that's all she's going to do is set everything and everybody on fire in this area. she doesn't even notice team dokja running away. get the fuck! away! from her! no furby zone!]
magical resistance is a good thing to have right now, isn't it? she was in the process of kicking a furby away and chasing after team dokja, but lup sets them all on fire?
so she is now running more to get away from being totally set on fire. ]
Please calm down! Please remember we aren't at the space station!
[ WHY… He didn’t expect this kind of reaction and I guess he’s closer to the fur, so he is getting crisped up very well. Quickly, he tries to escape but it probably won’t save him from burns.
With his sword, he cuts through the fur, trying to pave them a path. He’s also going to kick some furbies. Maybe, if he’s on fire, the furbies will also catch on fire, and he can kick one right at Sooyoung if he can even line of sight her at all before she escapes?
… Might be purposeful. ]
We’re going to become fried chicken before these furbies can eat us.
[ Can he drag Lup?? Actually can he toss her up through the ceiling hole. He can yeet Shinobu next and then himself. Stairs threw them into this room and they’re on fire. He can’t trust them anymore. ]
so anyway, lup lights literally everyone on fire, including herself, but somehow shinobu only gets a few light burns on her arms. lup, unfortunately, is suddenly extremely crispy thanks to the backlash of her fire igniting the fur around her and also joonghyuk who is also going to suffer some massive burns. the furbies bite and nip, but the ones shinobu and joonghyuk kick kind of just go "WHOOOOA" as they sail across the room in little fiery bursts.
meanwhile, unfortunately, joonghyuk can in fact throw lup through the ceiling hole. and also shinobu. and himself? what the absolute fuck. as they yeet through the hole, the house shakes under their feet as the foundation rocks. the screams of team dokja can be heard inside as the fire roars, and team fan favorites find themselves on a portion of the roof. glancing over, they will see that team starblaster is crawling out of their house through an exit door on their own roof, and teams demon corps and st̸̲̑a̸͙͊r̴͚͛l̴͙̅i̸͇̎g̴͍͑h̸̗̍t̶̯͌ are already out. the house burns gently beneath them, and as the three of them sit on the roof a buzzer sounds off.]
Team Dokja Co., you're out of here! [the mc on the stage looks up at the houses, squinting at them like he's trying to decide if this counts as a win or not.] The remaining teams, please clear the area! The next round will begin in 15 minutes!
[you should probably take a bit to regroup, gang. looks like the other groups are descending to the ground, too.]
[i want the audience at home to know i rolled a fucking one
anyway, lup is extremely crispy and probably part of her hair is burnt off. she stops spraying fire everywhere when she hears shinobu - there's something about her voice that knocks her out of the fear response. it's not right, shinobu shouldn't... be on the station. she's not. they're not? where the fuck is she.
and then she's fuckin' hurtled through the hole and she collapses in a pile, on the... roof? is this a roof? she is... very burnt, and kind of not responsive after being hugged by a furby monster in the dark. please help. there is no way she's getting down from here by herself.]

[ Name is fine. Better than Kim Dokja's Company.
But then he sees Lup just... Drink it when he thought maybe they could make a random person here take a sip? Well. If she dies, she dies. ]
I will see if there is a medic on field.
[ Can he ask around to see what they have for like... Healing? If there will be ANYONE that will account for that??? Possibly magic Healing things. ]
