Where: ABSOLUTELY FREAKING EVERYWHERE
When: RIGHT NOW
Warnings: Chemical burns??? IDK


There was no escape in sight. As far as anyone could tell, they were all stuck here on this mysterious floating island for the time being, and they would have to make do with what they could find. You'd think they would be well off in an AWESOME MANSION, except that the mansion is... a little worse for wear. Okay, a LOT worse for wear. The place was a mess.

Flurrie would not stand for it.

A woman of her tastes and sensibilities would be all for living it up in a huge, fancy mansion, but certainly not one in this state. And so, she took some initiative. Early one morning, she found a megaphone and stood outside the front of the mansion, barking orders loudly to the other inhabitants.

"EVERYONE GET OUT HERE, PRONTO!!"

Once everybody was gathered (as gathered as they were able to at this time of day, anyway), she yelled a little less:

"All right, everyone! I think we've been lounging around long enough! This place is an absolute disaster, and I cannot abide it another minute. Today I proclaim that we're going to make this mansion spic and span! And we're not going to stop until it sparkles! Now who's with me~?"

[HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Step 1: Pick a location. Step 2: CLEAN THAT SHIT. Step 3: Tag around and help clean the mansion YAAAY! OR, you can do none of the above and screw around the entire time! YAAAY?]

What's a DoomGuy?

[Shantae glanced over Gordon's shoulder at the screen.]

Hey, nothing wrong with a break. But if this still works, great! Means we can still get some power, right?

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Ronnae kept her space and was browsing through more devices that were around, talking idly but not quite looking back at the group.]

Technically yes... Though we could have done that even without the device working. There's plenty of natural energies we could have harvested to provice power to this place and more.

[trustycrowbar]

Are... you saying that this thing is powered by magic?

[...]

Hell, at this point, I'll believe anything. Otherwise, I would be curious now how a mansion on a floating island in the middle of nowhere seems to be hooked up to the grid. I don't hear a generator either... The only other idea is solar power and an array of batteries, but I don't see either one around the mansion.

[They'll figure it out later, anyway. He indicates the screen.] Anyway, THIS is DoomGuy. It's a game, a-a computer game. It's not complicated, you basically just shoot everything, but that doesn't mean it's easy. And actually, Ronnae seems to be pretty good at it!

[He gestures to Ronnae's wallflowering form.]

[magicdancer]

There's all sorts of things we could use for power! Like that spiky haired dog guy! He makes electricity, just plug him into the mansion and feed him some bacon every now and then, and voila! Instant generator!

[Shantae no...]

So you go around shooting stuff? Sounds pretty easy to me!

[She glanced to Ronnae.]

Yeah? Nice work!

[She had no idea how to rank video game playing skills as opposed to real life combat skills, but they sure sounded impressive.]

[trustycrowbar]

[...Gordon. Gordon no. Don't do it. I know it worked out with Ronnae but YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE DOES TO COMPUTERS--]

You want to give it a try yourself?

[shiest_sunbeam]

[Ronnae looked over every now and then and gave a small smile, still continuing to clean up, clear up and grab anything that she was curious about for future tinkering. But hearing Gordon offer the game to Shantae made her even more curious and was looking over more often to see how Shantae fared.]

[magicdancer]

Sure, why not? How hard can it be?

[She sat down at the computer, thus cementing Gordon's terrible mistake. She laid her hands on the keyboard. The game started to play.]

So how do I move and shoot?
