we need you for KEY OPPORTUNITIES in HOTEL DEVELOPMENT

[heroproceeding]

Hey guys! We're looking for four people or groups who are currently downtown or who can be downtown/to the hotel by day 125 or 126 (ideally - if you're in the area and interested but can't make those dates let us know) to try a thing that will take up a few IC days' travel time, possibly being put on hold by the event (127-129) and resumed immediately afterward. We'd really like to get it done before the event but if not that's okay!

Backstory: The hotel downtown is now unlocked after Kunsel, Jim, Zack and Zell ran in circles to unlock four doors, each one hiding the key to the next until the last which yielded the hotel-unlocking keycard. Inside the hotel, along with several standard hotel rooms, they found a locked door with no keyhole, just a note that said 'ALL THE KEYS AT ONCE.'

On day 124, we tried putting all the hotel keycards into the room doors at once and that had no results, so our next theory is that the four keys need to go back to the previously unlocked downtown doors and be inserted in those all at once. These doors are in the toy store, boot store, book store, and jewelry store.

Ideally the plan would be as follows:

1. [Your Character] arrives at the hotel and receives a key, then heads to their assigned store ASAP.
2. Zell, Kunsel, Zack, and Jim remain at the hotel in order to try their hotel unlocking rigging again in case the keycards from the hotel also need to be in place at the same time as the store keys.
3. As soon as everyone is in place they use the keys in unison.
4. ???
5. PROFIT MAYBE

If you're interested please let us know how soon your character can get to the hotel! If there are more than four people interested/able, characters that are the closest will be prioritized.

so i'm like 99% positive that brian and jade and beckett will be at the hotel by 125. I, at least, am interested

[bookofnope]

I too am interested!

[swatsflies]

Is Beckett cool with solo-ing it?

[bookofnope]

Sure! He's very good at soloing.

[rattlingthestars]

Alright so if Beckett can hit the hotel on 125 and then head to 167 (the boot store) by 126 then we will be set!

[bookofnope]

LET'S DO IIIIIIIIIIT.

[rattlingthestars]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[rattlingthestars]

For clarity's sake when you all chime in - would the three of them be taking one key together or would they be interested in splitting off?

[0thingsonmymind]

brian would be cool with splitting up for this

[rattlingthestars]

Sweet :3

[rattlingthestars]

Okay!

For movements if you can roll into the hotel on 125 and then hit building 168 (the jewelry) by sometime on 126 then we'll be set!

[0thingsonmymind]

brian should be able to do that, yes.

[seekthelight]

/RAISES HAND!

Sora's currently in building 158 so I could have him at the hotel with his next set of movements. c:

Though it wouldn't be until day 127 I FORGOT TO PUT THAT

[rattlingthestars]

:C /reaches for sora come see us anyway

[seekthelight]

He's gonna swing by the hotel, I promise. BD

[swatsflies]

COME TO INN ANYWAYS :3 We might need some hands if this fails. Or a PARTAY when it works.

[seekthelight]

WILL DO. \o/ Nerds gotta meet!

[despiteeverything]

Hmm... I'm not sure if we'll be able to help out with the keys themselves for multiple reasons, but I could poke Sora - Toriel got a timer application from the vet's office that could possibly be of use for this.

If nobody else is willing or able though, they might be able to take a key. They're downtown now with no immediate plans to rush off that I know of.

[rattlingthestars]

Looks like we've got it all worked out. o7 How's the timer application work?

[despiteeverything]

Here's the description, though it could be kind of convoluted I suppose, if they've got the network and enough volunteers that Frisk and Toriel won't be direct participants

[rattlingthestars]

...the pyro part of me just went straight to bomb timer...

But yeah since they're not directly involved and lacking the ability to copy it around to everyone it might get too complicated. D: Thank you though!

[spoileralert]

I'm volunteering Steph, Al and Tim without checking with aNYONE ELSE SCREW THE RULES so like consider us backup I guess

[rattlingthestars]

Aaand same question as to Briadeckett - would you three be taking one key or would they split up in some way and take multiples? And which day do you think you could m ake it to the hotel on?

[rattlingthestars]

I think we've got it! unless you guys just wanna come by to party.

[spoileralert]

The troops have not been rallied, but I know Steph and Zell want to hang out for her birthday 20 days off

[deus_ex_phs]

Kunsel would like that, too. You know he's mentally noted when her birthday is. :3

[spoileralert]

So he can give her lotto tickets and enlist her in the army, right?

[deus_ex_phs]

Darn right. Time to instill a habit of taking risks and endangering her life-

oh wait.

[equal_shots]

Slams this loser who is still not friends with Zell to help, if you'd like. He and Stein will be staying in the downtown area...in large part because Stein wants to lay low.

[swatsflies]

If Kid and Stein get to the inn by 124, Zell can hook them up with the bookstore key so they can roll away before Beckett can get there. It's building 160 on the map.

If you guys are willing to split up for half a day (Kid and Stein will be back together for the evening), we can try to get this done by 126 and you guys can take two keys to get the toy store (150).

Let me know what you're okay with.

[rattlingthestars]

Good news! There is actually no need to split you guys - we have enough volunteers to send you to the same place.

If Kid and Stein can come pick up the key on 124, then they can head to the furthest building - 160, the book store - and sit tight until 126 when we will do the thing. \o/

[silverfuller]

The Joker is downtown and could be there. He is genuinely interested in opening doors and finding things so he'd even help.

But.

Joker....yeeeaaah....

Unfortunately my more pleasant fellow here I've had moving away from downtown so my characters don't crash into each other.

[rattlingthestars]

Unfortunately I don't think we could swing it icly to hand things to the Joker. D: Next time a bomb needs built otoh...

[silverfuller]

If Joker finds out there were shenanigans and he wasn't invited he may get angry and cause trouble.

I am absolutely not saying that to pressure anyone into inviting him! I can have him just let it slide, totally.

I mention it in case that's something you guys might find interesting to play with down the line.

[swatsflies]

Sorry, Kunsel's boyfriend. If Joker finds out about it, Zell will share whatever if he asks.

[warriorscribe]

I NEED TO DO MOVEMENTS sob but yes Enoch can possibly be there and would be interested in figuring things out. He's at P20 as of 123 so he can totally be there.

[rattlingthestars]

Yay strong guy Enoch wanna move a door?

The door in the toy store (150) was taken off its hinges and may need to be put back and Enoch seems like the best one for the job. If he could come pick up the key from the hotel on 124 or 125 and head that way for unlocking on day 126 that would be great. \o/

(Kid and Stein would be there on 124, Beckett, Brian and potentially Jade on 125 if that affects your plans at all.)

[warriorscribe]

Moving doors is a thing he can help with! He's made no effective movement (ended in the same place) on 124 so he'll be there on 125!

[canyouhandlethismany]

Sheena and Leon would be able to reach the hotel by day 127 but if it's too late we will let it slide, Leon will just try to keep himself informed for developements.

[rattlingthestars]

Yeah, that'll be too late - we're going to do the thing on 126, monsters permitting!

[canyouhandlethismany]

All good! Have fun, they'll follow the network if anything is posted! :3

[rattlingthestars]

Hopefully we find something worth posting! O7
