Hundred-S
Labyrinth Hydro: Free Dihydrogen Monoxide
(A continuation of Labyrinth Hydro, since I actually have free time)

The outside of a school has been overtaken by algae and is wet with seawater. Seaweed hangs from a few open windows.
Hundred-S
(a small bump)
Bgammax
*Gamma walks by the school. Noticing the obviously poor condition of the school, he approaches the building*
This place has definitely seen better days. Well, at least its more likely to be quiet.
Hundred-S
As soon as he opens the door, he is greeted with soaked stone walls and the smell of salt water. A very familiar moth in a top hat and bow tie flaps its wings as it approaches Gamma. "YOU ARE FINALLY HERE! WAS WONDERING IF ANY WOULD COME. ME HERE TO HELP GUIDE. MASTER'S PROMISE STILL STANDS!"
Hundred-S
(back from foods)
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at the moth for a moment, surprised at first, but soon he returns to his regular, stony gaze*

Mas... Oh yeah, that snake. Seems like I have a habit of befriending those. Yeah, this place is kinda empty, which is lame. But well, also makes it peaceful, y'know?
Anyways, you talked about guiding me, so I guess that makes this some kinda maze too.
Hundred-S
"YES. MULTIPLE FLOORS. WE ON HIGHEST, BUT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT." Fancy Moth flies over a pool of water, as if demonstrating. "MORE UNDER HERE. CAN LOWER WATER WITH SWITCHES. OR SWIM LIKE BUNNY HOOD."
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at the pool before turning back to the moth*
Well, I'm not the greatest swimmer, plus I can hardly use ice attacks underwater. Probably best to find the switches and work from there. No need to be working with a handicap after all.
Do you know where these switches are? Or is this pretty much the extent of help you can give me?
Hundred-S
"FIRST I KNOW OF IS ACROSS POOL. COME OVER SO YOU CAN USE IT. NO HANDS MAKES THINGS HARD."
Space_Cat
*A strange, humanoid cat hovers over to the 2.* Hey, have you seen my cousin Morgana? I've been looking for him ever since the Nexus appeared..
Bgammax
*Gamma begins to speak to the mothman, but soon notices Space_Cat*
I... I have seen Morgana a few times. In fact, I've seen more than one of them. None of them have mentioned having a cousin. But hey, since you're here, mind floating across the pool and pulling the lever that Moth's been talking about?
Space_Cat
Moth? Oh- *He notices the moth next to Gamma.*
Space_Cat
Well... ok. What do I get out of it?
Bgammax
*Gamma shrugs, and grins a little at Space_Cat*
Wow, someone who needs a reason to do things. Never thought I'd see the day.
Well, I haven't seen Morgana for a while, there's some chance they're at the bottom of this flooded area. No one flips the switch, no one gets to the bottom. So unless you have a better idea, you may as well go for it.
Hundred-S
The Fancy Moth waves at the cat. Such a friendly moth.
Space_Cat
Sigh... fine, may as well.. but I better get something for getting to the bottom. It looks disgusting down there, using my X-Ray.
Space_Cat
*The cat floats over to the lever and pulls it.*
Hundred-S
The Space Cat flips the switch, causing the water level to go down a floor. The wooden floor underneath the group's feet sinks with it. There's also a stone bridge linking both sides.
Space_Cat
Umm.. why is the floor sinking? *The cat activates his boosters again, and stays on the same level.*
Space_Cat
What does it look like down there?
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and attempts to move onwards down a floor*
First, its probably disgusting because most of the place is filled with water.
Second, I don't see how you plan to get to the bottom of this place if you keep flying over it. While, you're welcome to leave if you want, that's not going to help you get through here.
Space_Cat
Alright, fine. But i'm not getting my shiny white space suit dirty. *A forcefield activates around the cat.*
Hundred-S
Now that the group is on Floor 2, it's time to get moving. Something seems to be on this floor...

Options:
-The path that used to lead to the entrance
-Path littered with seaweed
-Path by the switch
-A very clean path
Space_Cat
*The cat turns to the path littered with seaweed, intending to scout it for anything... unpleasant.*
Space_Cat
*As he approaches the path, the seaweed, seemingly by magic, gets pushed away from the forcefield.*
Bgammax
*Gamma lets out another sigh and watches Space_Cat go for a little, then moves towards the switch path*
Personally, I'd've thought you'd try the obviously clean path first. This place surprises me more by the day.
Space_Cat
I know what a trap room looks like when I see it. I suggest you don't go in there.
Hundred-S
Update
Space_Cat
OOC: What lays beyond the seaweed?
Hundred-S
Gamma's path leads to... another pool. A dead end unless he wants to get his feet wet.

A loud splash comes from Space Cat's path. A humanoid fish creature leaps out of the water, soon joined by an eel Shadow.

A Lightning Strike and Ocean Man appear!

Player Turn!
Space_Cat
*Space_Cat takes out a laser pistol, and fires twice at both of them, aiming for headshots.*
Bgammax
OOC: They're typing that up right now. What's beyond the seaweed, and what's beyond the switch. We call it the update system, where we put in our actions and then the person guiding the thread (Hundred-S in this case) posts "update" and takes note of no actions afterwards as they type a lengthy reply of the results of our actions.
Space_Cat
OOC: Gotcha.
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and turns back, hearing the sounds of laser fire, he walks the direction Space_Cat did*
Yeah, this direction's a trap alright. You're probably just trying to clean seaweed.
Space_Cat
*After firing, the cat backs up into the previous room, and then energizes his shield to withstand harder attacks.*
Space_Cat
Hey moth, do you know what these things are?
Hundred-S
(No update atm since it's a two-person battle)

The Ocean Man stumbles back from the shot, having taken a critical hit. Once more!

The Lightning Strike merely hisses in pain.

Gamma arrives.

OM: 200/400
LS: Full
Hundred-S
"SHADOWS. SERVANTS OF MASTER'S ALLY," the Fancy Moth says, hiding around the corner.
Space_Cat
Ahhh... it's been a while since I've seen shadows.. and if there's shadows nearby, then that must mean there's someone with a palace here... must've hidden down here ever since the Nexus appeared, and people started getting Persona's in real life...
Space_Cat
OOC: Personas. I'm a grammar nazi.
Hundred-S
"ME CONFUSED BY WORDS BUT OKAY. YOU... MAY WANT TO FOCUS ON BATTLE," the Moth says, pointing at the dazed Ocean Man.
Space_Cat
*The cat fires 2 more lasers at the Ocean Man, and then scans the Lightning Strike, intending to display it's weaknesses and it's resistances.*
Bgammax
Honestly Spaceguy, shadows just kinda appear in any area with enough magic for some reason. Considering the flooding, there's probably an entity causing it, and they tend to bring lackies with them.
Space_Cat
Hey Gamma, can I get a little help here?
Hundred-S
The Ocean Man is defeated.

Scan results:

Lightning Strike
HP: 350/350
Null: Elec
Weak: Ice
Hundred-S
Enemy turn!
Space_Cat
*The cat puts a canister in his raygun, intending to switch it to cryo mode.* [End turn]
Hundred-S
Lightning Strike's Mazionga only hits Gamma.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*The cat fires his raygun at the Lightning Strike, not bothering to aim for the head.*
Bgammax
OH boy, weak to ice? Sign me up.
Shiranui, Diamond Dust.
*Gamma's persona bursts into life around him in the form of an eastern dragon made of flame, it roars, and sends 6 spears of ice at the Lightning Strike*
Space_Cat
OOC: End turn?
Hundred-S
The Lightning Strike screeches as the ice slices it into nothingness.

Battle won!

The path is clear now.
Space_Cat
*The cat uses his x-ray to peer into the water.
Hundred-S
The water is clear save for some seaweed. The path ahead, however, rounds a corner to... somewhere.
Space_Cat
Alright Gamma, hold this in your hand and don't let go of it. *He hands Gamma a strange device.
Bgammax
I'm sorry, what is this supposed to be? And when did you learn my name?
*Gamma holds onto the device and moves to round the corner*
Space_Cat
*As Gamma's fist tightens on the device, it makes a strange noise.
Hundred-S
Around the corner is a large pool. A scaly head peeks out of the water, glaring at the two intruders.
Space_Cat
I just want to let you know that you'll be very popular in the future.
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at the device for a moment, before noticing the head and focusing on it*

I take it you're another snake? Well, I tend to be able to make friends with those, somehow. How may I help you today?
Space_Cat
*The cat fires a laser at the creature's head.
Space_Cat
Oh dear... I hope he dodges.
Bgammax
*Gamma raises an eyebrow at Spacecat*
I'm sorry, what? All things considered I somewhat doubt that I will be popular in the future. One way or another.
Space_Cat
Hey Gamma, can you tell that thing to go underwater?
Space_Cat
It's nothing, don't question it. By the way, what is a snake, anyway?
Space_Cat
I know it's right in front of me, but it seems different from the other Shadows...
Hundred-S
Update
Bgammax
A snake is an animal from our time. Normally they don't talk or anything but I tend to find magic ones that can. I dunno, its just kind of a thing that I've stopped questioning at this point.
Space_Cat
OOC: Oooh, an update!
Hundred-S
The snake's eye twitches as the shot is fired. It dives out of the way before shooting its body into the air. "A FIGHT? VERY WELL... JAM SLAM!" The serpent's tail swings down towards Space Cat, landing a critical hit. And inflicting Silence. It huffs and dives into the water again.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*The cat's shield absorbs the damage and breaks. The cat does not fight back, but instead guards.
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and looks at SpaceCat*
Yeah, I'm kinda used to that at this point. Still, its kind of a shame, hoped you wouldn't be trigger-happy.
Shiranui, Ice Age
*A sheet of ice spreads from beneath Gamma's feet, heading towards the water in an attempt to freeze the snake*
Space_Cat
Hey, i'm sorry. I thought you were a shadow.
Hundred-S
Update (note: will shower quickly after this)
Space_Cat
OOC: Just as a reference point, my character is quick to act. He doesn't stop to think when he sees a possible enemy. He is a clean freak, so getting dirty will inflict Rage on him.
Space_Cat
OOC: Got it, be back soon!
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent spends some time breaking through the ice. It doesn't seem too hurt (2300/3000 HP)... although it seems to have been battered from a previous fight.

"TERROR ROAR!" The Serpent lets out a screech for medium Curse damage. Its secondary effect fails.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*The attack batters the cat's space suit, but he takes minimum damage due to armor. He tries to suck the Sea Serpent out of the water using a vaccum meant to collect materials. Of course, it won't be big enough to get the serpent inside of it, but he intends to get the serpent to calm down.
Bgammax
OOC: That's fine, Gamma makes comments like that a lot, he's kinda a jerk most of the time.
IC: *Gamma hardly seems to notice the screech and looks back at the serpent*

Ok, you asked for it. Shiranui, Diamond Dust.
*6 spears of ice streak towards the sea serpent, begining to freeze anywhere it hits*
Space_Cat
*The cat yells at Gamma.* Stop attacking it if you want to make friends with it!
Space_Cat
We need an ally in this place anyway...
Space_Cat
OOC: Sometimes I wish the site would automatically update when someone posted..
Bgammax
I think we're past the point of talking actually. Ever since you shot it. Plus it looks to have had a bad time with previous explorers. Probably best to just beat it into submission now.
Hundred-S
Update
Space_Cat
Huh, ok. *The cat withdraws the vaccum and takes out a scanner.
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent shrugs off Gamma's attack. (2200/3000)

Its attention is drawn to Space Cat as its head is dragged by the vacuum. "STOP THAT. I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR FRIENDS. HYDRO BLAST!" The Sea Serpent roars and sends a blast of water at the cat for severe Water/Ice damage. Partly intended to overload the vacuum.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*As the blast of water reaches the cat, his eyes widen. He tries to dodge, but it's too late. He's.... wet. [Rage Inflicted]
Space_Cat
OOC: He is a cat, after all.
Hundred-S
ooc: And everyone knows cats hate dihydrogen monoxide :3
Bgammax
Looks like it doesn't mind ice too much. Unfortunate, since its my go-to.
Oh well, Shiranui, Eigaon
*Tendrils of darkness form in the air around Gamma and strike out at the snake*
Hundred-S
Update
Space_Cat
Why you little... aghh! I'm done with this! Tesla, use Thunder Reign! *The cat's Persona appears, a brass robot with electricity flowing over it's body. It points at the snake, firing 2 giant bolts of thunder at it.
Space_Cat
Erghh... then try harder, Gamma!
Hundred-S
Space Cat claws at the Sea Serpent in his rage, but it doesn't due much due to the hard scales (2150/3000).

Eigaon, however, is much more successful (2000/3000).

Enemy turn!
Space_Cat
OOC: Ah, sorry, I forgot it was only physical attacks..
Space_Cat
OOC: Disregard my last attack.
Space_Cat
Hrnhhh...
Hundred-S
ooc: It's fine :3
Space_Cat
Darn Serpent.. mrrrowww! *The cat pounces at the Sea Serpent.
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent seems a bit restless. "GRR... STORM THROW!" He takes in a deep breath... but is interrupted by a coughing fit. Nice.

Turns elapsed: 2

Player turn!
Space_Cat
(Meanwhile, deep in Space_Cat's conscience... snap out of it, snap out of it...)
[Ailment recovers next turn]
Bgammax
Interesting, the snake's having problems of its own.
Shiranui, Eigaon
*once again, dark tendrils strike out at the snake's form*
Hundred-S
Update!

ooc: yep, that's what happens when you roll a natural 1 for a wind attack. Snek gets coughs :P
Hundred-S
The two attacks combined cause the Sea Serpent to be knocked back (1800/3000).

The Sea Serpent hisses and tries again. "STORM THROW!" It inhales deeply to draw in Gamma like a vacuum, then exhales in one sharp breath, sending him into the air (Heavy Wind, then med Phys upon landing).

Turns elapsed: 3...

Player turn!
Space_Cat
Hughh..... sorry. I don't know what got into me...
Space_Cat
Anyway, let's do this. *The cat scans for weaknesses.
Space_Cat
*As Gamma takes physical damage, the strange device beeps.
Hundred-S
Scan results:

Sea Serpent
HP: 1800/3000. Carries over if fought again.
Resist: Phys, Fire, Ice, Wind
Weak: Elec, but won't trigger knockdown
Hundred-S
ooc: feel free to attack, since I'll let this be a free action
Space_Cat
OOC: Thanks.
HibkiKuze
OOC: is it to late to join?
Space_Cat
Weak to electric, huh? Tesla, use Thunder Reign! *The cat's Persona appears, a brass robot with electricity flowing over it's body. It points at the snake, firing 2 giant bolts of thunder at it.
Bgammax
*Gamma's thrown against a wall, he seems to be breathing heavily now, but isn't too exhausted*

Ok, so you can fight after all. Would feel bad bullying a snake.
Shiranui, hit it again with Eigaon.
*yadda yadda heavy curse damage*
Hundred-S
ooc: go ahead, although I'd wait till after the update. Speaking of which...

Update!
Space_Cat
*Oh right. Severe electric damage.*
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent avoids Gamma's attack, but is struck hard by the lightning (1400/3000 HP)

Enemy turn!
Space_Cat
Huh? Who's that guy over there? *Space_Cat sees Hibiki.
Space_Cat
Hey, what are you doing down here?
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent closes its eyes as the area begins to shake...

"FLASH FLOOD!"

Water bursts from the walls, sending the group tumbling away...
...
..
.

They find themselves at the entrance.
HibkiKuze
Unfinished business with this shadow garbage. *He gestures to the Sea Serpent*
Space_Cat
Aghh! *Space_Cat is swept away by the waves. OOC: Now I see why you specified: "If fought again.."
Space_Cat
Now I'm too cold to be angry... brrr...
Bgammax
*Gamma coughs up a little water as he looks at the rest of the group*
You've got to be joking. That coward won't even fight us properly? Man am I going to have to have a few words with that snake. Well, not words per-se, but you understand what I'm saying.
Space_Cat
*Space_Cat turns on the heaters and dryers on his space suit.
Space_Cat
Well, it doesn't look like we can use that lever again... hey, do you still have that device I gave you?
Bgammax
*Gamma takes out the now soaked device in his pocket*
You still never told me what this was for, but yeah. I have it.
Space_Cat
Do you see that little button there? Press it.
HibkiKuze
Let's head back in. I'm not letting him get me a third time.
Space_Cat
You take one of these too. *He hands Hibiki a strange device as well.
Space_Cat
Press that button there.
Space_Cat
It may not have enough info on you yet, but it should still work.
HibkiKuze
*He takes it* What is this for? If it's to help me fight I won't need it.
Hundred-S
A quick glance tells the group that the layout has changed. What was once a pool is now a pit with a few ladders leading to the first floor. A platform floats at the lowest floor on a large stretch of water.
Space_Cat
Just press the button.
Bgammax
Whatever you say man.
*Gamma pushes the button on the device before heading down to the lower platform*
HibkiKuze
I'm sick of the layout changing. Lets get this place back to normal.
Space_Cat
*From the device, a forcefield forms around Gamma, specifically tailored to him, as it had collected enough data on him.
HibkiKuze
*He pushes the buttton and climbs down as well*
Hundred-S
After a while, everyone arrives at the platform. A dark shape circles it. It seems this is tailored to the Sea Serpent's needs.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*A regular forcefield forms around Hibiki. It had not collected any data on him, so it just protected him.
Space_Cat
OOC: Gonna have a quick dinner, brb.
Space_Cat
I'm sorry... It's just so cold... I'm gonna stay back here on dryland until I get warmer.
Space_Cat
I'll get back to you once i'm ready.
HibkiKuze
Let's just get him! He's getting tired. *Hibki quickly busts out some holy dance moves casting a holy dance*
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at the forcefield, somewhat confused*
Ok, this is some kinda shield. And what's it supposed to do exactly? I mean, other than just protect me, you mentioned it required data on me, which makes it personalized.
Space_Cat
It scans your battle data and discovers your weaknesses. Then it specifically targets those weaknesses. For example, if your weakness was ice, then the shield would grow hotter.
HibkiKuze
Well no weaknesses or resistances here.
Bgammax
So in my case, it'll mostly protect me against Light and Fire, nice to know.
Shiranui, lets freeze his pond again, Ice Age
*A sheet of ice begins to spread over the area, in an attempt to freeze the serpent, or at least force it to surface*
Hundred-S
Last update before GM Cait/HS's snooze time
Hundred-S
Holy Dance hits thrice, doing quite a bit of damage (1100/3000).

Ice Age freezes its tail (1000/3000). The Sea Serpent shatters the ice against the platform before diving downwards. The water level rises about half a floor.

Player turn! (...*insert to be continued meme here*)
HibkiKuze
OOC: Goodnight Cait. I'm goona sleep too.
Bgammax
OOC: I think you mean this Click to load youtube video
Space_Cat
OOC: How does 12:00 PM tomorrow sound?
Bgammax
OOC: What timezone? I'm in Central.
Hundred-S
ooc: Starting up again I guess. I summon thee!
Bgammax
OOC: Reporting for Duty
Bartz
OOC can I join ? What is this thread about ?
Bgammax
OOC: this thread is kind of going through a maze, think water-temple from LoZ, but less confusing. You should be fine joining in.
Hundred-S
ooc: Short version: water snek tries to kill everyone

longer version: Basically, this is a labyrinth formed within a school. The main objective is to defeat this sea serpent that manipulates the place. The group is currently on a playform that the serpent is swimminh around
Bartz
OOC cool ! Then I'm here too !
Hundred-S
ooc: Alright! We'll start once Space Cat and/or Hibki shows up.
Hundred-S
ooc: Bump, and last call till starting I guess
Migrant
Ooc: *stares through window.... *
Hundred-S
ooc: *opens window* You in?
Migrant
Ooc: Can I be?
Bgammax
OOC: You can be for sure, I mean, it looks like I'm the only member of the "old guard" in this time. I just kinda thought you might not want to.... Cuz.... Gamma... Yeah...
Bartz
Ooc : bartz jumps through the window I'm in ! Until Mateus shows up with his thread that is. If he does I'll turn him down. I can't multitask :p
Migrant
Ooc: you kidding? A free chance to punch your face?
Hundred-S
ooc: Yeah, multitasking is hard. Might as well begin!
Hundred-S
-Outside the labyrinth-

Water begins to leak out the windows of a school. Something is happening there...

-Boss Battle-

The dark shadow continues to circle the platform.
Bgammax
OOC: Boss Battle is me, Outside is you two.
*Gamma takes a quick look at the shadow before summoning his persona*

I take it talking's out of the question now.
Shiranui, Eigaon.
*Tendrils of darkness form in the air around Gamma and strike out towards the shadow in the water*
Bartz
OOc: just so I know, where am I ?
Bartz
OOc: oh ok

Huh? is that water ?
Migrant
.... Why is this school underwater...?

*tries to break a window *
Bartz
OOC: it seems Mat just opened up his pandaemonium....
Hundred-S
-Boss Battle-

The Sea Serpent snarls and dives downwards, raising the water to the second floor. HP: 850/3000

-Outside the Labyrinth-

Strange noises come from behind the door.
Bartz
ooc: guys, I know I just joined, but I have to leave in an hour... Is it worth it for me to stay ? or should I just pretend I was never here ?
Migrant
.... Huh?

*listens to the door... Wondering what she hears *
Hundred-S
ooc: you can go ahead and do that, Bartz

ic:

-Outside-

Mig shatters the window, letting out a stream of water. The inside of the first floor is completely flooded... and are those scales? A green eye glares at them as the window begins to ice over to stop the stream.
Bartz
OOC: oh. ok. Sorry for wasting your time
Migrant
.... Was that an eye?! *assumes it's someone stuck and tries opening the doors instead! *
Bgammax
OOC: If you want to join this Bartz, its not a big deal, looks to be fairly close to over anyways, but if you're nervous because of your time constraints its alright for you to leave.
Hundred-S
ooc: It's honesty fine. This thread's nearly over, and I honestly don't mind you leaving. It's your call :3
Hundred-S
-Outside-

Migrant easily opens the doors, which... are free of water. Up ahead is a large pit. At the bottom of the pit is a pool of water with a platform... and a very familiar person on it.
Bgammax
*Gamma looks somewhat concerned at the raised waterlevel, but focuses on the snake*
Alright, why don't you just come out here and fight me again instead of hiding in the water all the time?
Shiranui, Deathbound.
*A wave of force emanates from Gamma aiming to strike the snake for 1-2 medium phys*
Migrant
*wanders in and looks down the pit... *

You...

*she then jumps in after him*
Hundred-S
Update
Hundred-S
The Deathbound strikes the water harmlessly. At best, it creates some waves.

Migrant is now on the platform.

The Sea Serpent is... out of sight?
Bgammax
*Gamma has yet to notice Mig as he looks at the water*
Seems I'll have to lower the water level again in order to force it to fight. Annoying, but I very well can't fight in there.
Migrant
*Mig has the opening to do him in right now... But instead looks for a water switch anywhere. Quietly. *
Hundred-S
There aren't any switches around... was that intentional?

Something rams the platform from below, but just enough to shake it. The Sea Serpent tries to dive back down, but with such a large body, it's still visible enough to attack when it's near the surface.
Migrant
*stumbles, and if Gamma still doesn't notice her then he's blind. *

*mutters* Was that a snake?
Bgammax
*Gamma is shaken with the platform, but doesn't fall into the water*
Alright, that's more like it. Shiranui, Deathbound
*once again a wave of force emanates out towards the snake the snake*
Hundred-S
Update
Hundred-S
The snake is hit (750/3000 HP).

Once again, it vanishes into the depths. For a second, all is still... then the platform is flipped into the air by a much stronger ram.
Migrant
Shit! Okuninushi!

*the Persona appears and a whirlwind grabs the platform and, hopefully, sets it down gently*
Hundred-S
ooc: food time aaaa

translation: will poof for a bit
Hundred-S
ooc: Have to go for a while due to this stupid thing that popped up last minute. Should be back before 9 est... hopefully...

ic: One final update:

The platform is set down, but as for its occupants... well, the initial blow and momentum may have flung them off.
Hundred-S
ooc: Back home. Saw doggos. Bought an owl.
Bgammax
OOC: Reporting for duty
Hundred-S
ooc: That's one person. One more and we'll be ready I guess.
Space_Cat
I'm back,
Space_Cat
Sorry, I had to take a trip. I'm here on my tablet.
Hundred-S
ooc: No problem. We can continue now.
Space_Cat
U here gamma?
Space_Cat
OOC: What popped up?
Bgammax
OOC: Sorry, I'm still here, just in 3 threads right now. Going to see about leaving one of the others.
Space_Cat
OOC: Gotcha. We still on the sea serpent fight?
Hundred-S
ooc: I know the pain. And current situation: sea snek flipped platform, send people flying
Space_Cat
OOC: I'll be leaving the hotel tomorrow, so I dunno if I can participate.
Hundred-S
ooc: It's the end of the thing, so it should end tonight
Space_Cat
PIC: Ok, gotcha.
Space_Cat
OOC: Darn it, autocorrect.
Hundred-S
ooc: Amyway, feel free to post actions. Will update after a quick shower.
Bgammax
*Gamma is knocked into the water, he struggles to the surface, coming up coughing. He seems barely able to keep in place*
Are you.... Serious? Agh.... I knew this was a bad idea...
Space_Cat
*The cat wakes up, having taken a nap. Rubbing his eyes, he floats down to the bottom of the labyrinth and spots Gamma.
Space_Cat
Hey, I'm back! Sorry for taking so long... It was so warm out there.
Space_Cat
Umm... why are you wet?
Bgammax
*Gamma's still struggling at the surface of the water*
Stop. Being. A smartass. And do something. If you haven't noticed, I'm not the strongest swimmer.
Space_Cat
Ok. Tesla, use heat wave! *The brass robot appears, and a wave of warmth washes over them.
Hundred-S
ooc: Heat Riser?
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent pokes its head out of the water with a roar. It glares at both Gamma and the cat.
Space_Cat
OOC: Yeah.
Space_Cat
Ooc: I need to teach my kindle to use this as a real word.
Bgammax
*Gamma drops beneath the surface of the water again, before coming back up*
YOU'RE NOT BEING HELPFUL. IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, I STILL CAN'T SWIM
Space_Cat
Use your forcefield. It will make you float to the top.
Space_Cat
Also, you should probably watch out. That snake looks like it wants to bite off your ear.
Hundred-S
Update
Hundred-S
Heat Riser raises Gamma's attack, defense, and speed! Only helps him flail with more energy, though.

The Sea Serpent roars and sends a Jam Slam into Space Cat for heavy Phys.

The water level is halfway up floor 2.

Player turn!

You mean this?
*Gamma hits the button on SpaceCat's device, activating a force field to flot him to the top*
That's really, really useful actually. Mind if I keep it?
In the meantime, Shirnaui, Eigaon.
*Tendrils of darkness form in the air around Gamma and strike out at the snake for heavy curse*
Space_Cat
*The space suit takes the brunt of the attack, leaving a large dent on his chestpiece.
Space_Cat
Hey, watch it! Tesla, Lightning Reign! *Once again, bolts of lightning fling themselves towards the snake for severe electric damage.

Eigaon hits, dealing some damage (600/3000 HP).

Thunder Reign hits... both the Sea Serpent and Gamma. Water conducts electricity. It likely bypasses or breaks the shield, too, due to not being Gamma's weakness. (200/3000 HP)

The Sea Serpent inhales, drawing in Space Cat. He exhales in one sharp breath, using Storm Throw to inflict heavy Wind, then medium Phys (the latter if he crashes into Gamma as intended.

Player turn!
Space_Cat
*The cat gets hit with the gust of wind, but activates his boosters in time before he hits Gamma. In turn, he instead crashes into the wall. As he sinks into the water, he activates his shield, and sinks underwater. The shield pushes the water away, and he submerged himself.
Bgammax
*Gamma is shocked by the Thunder Reign, leaving him short on breath*
H... Hey. Be more careful than that.
Lets see if I can take it out.
Shiranui, Deathbound.
*A wave of force emanates from Gamma towards the serpent, striking for 1-2 medium phys*
Space_Cat
Nuh uh uh! I'm not gonna let myself get wet this time!
Hundred-S
Update
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent is hit, but due to resistance takes not much damage. (150/3000 HP)

With Space Cat gone, it can turn its attention to Gamma. It lifts its head up high and sends a Hydro Blast down at Gamma (Severe ice). Even if it fails to harm, it'll still be a literal blast of water pushing on him.

Player Turn!
Bgammax
*While the blast hardly affects Gamma himself, it does break the forcefield and pushes him deep under the water. He is barely able to struggle back towards the surface*
Space_Cat
*Using this opportunity, Space Cat walks down at the bottom of the ocean. He stops once he can clearly see the image of the snake in the water, and activates his boosters. Once he was close enough, he reached out of his forcefield and made a grab at the snake using his Persona.
Hundred-S
The Sea Serpent lunges at Gamma... but its jaws close a few feet away. It thrashes to try to escape the sudden pull on its tail.
Bgammax
*Gamma struggles to the surface of the water, and after sputtering for a moment*
OH man you are going to pay for that. SHIRANUI, EIGAON

*Tendrils of darkness appear around Gamma and lash out at the serpent*
Space_Cat
*The cat drags the snake into his forcefield, where he is most vulnerable. Using his left hand, he grabs the snake by the neck.
Space_Cat
Tesla, use Myriad Slashes! *The robot swings his fist at the snake 3 times, each one meant to inflict medium phys damage.
Hundred-S
With the sudden tug, the Sea Serpent cannot avoid the Eigaon. It lets out one last roar before dispersing into shadow.

The water level begins to rise again, heading up to the floor the entrance is on: floor 3.
Space_Cat
*The cat boosts himself over to Gamma.* Use your forcefield! Press the button and flip that switch, it'll set it to sink mode!
Bgammax
The forcefield broke, I imagine it at least needs to recharge. Also the snake is down. I don't really see a need to go any further.
Too bad, I'm not used to things actually dying when they are killed.
Space_Cat
We still need to find the source of those shadows.. by the way, where did that moth go?
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and floats with the water back to the entrance floor*

I think the moth left a while ago because it couldn't swim or anything. And I think the snake was the main reason they're here. I mean, you can look further if you want, but seeing as I'm no swimmer, and the forcefield isn't ready again, yeah. Not sticking around
Hundred-S
The water continues to rise, although more slowly. At the third floor, they can easily exit.
Space_Cat
*The cat exits, and views the bright light of the Sun.
Bgammax
*Gamma slowly flails over to dry land, before dragging himself up out of the water*

Note: freeze lakes. Just.. If there's a large body of water nearby, go ahead and freeze it. Worth the effort. Never doing that again.
Space_Cat
Ahh... we made it. Even if I slept halfway through.
Space_Cat
Alright, I expect payment. Where did that moth go?
Hundred-S
As they exit, the labyrinth fades, replaced with soaked school hallways. There are a few cans of soda and a bowl of milk sitting nearby. The Fancy Moth at least gave refreshments again after all that salt water.

And thus ends the second labyrinth...
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and heads back towards the front door*
The moth has been gone for a while, probably isn't coming back. And I'm sure not paying you. All I ever said was maybe you'll find Morgana, didn't give any sort of hope there.
Space_Cat
OOC: Man, that was great. You should really do these more often.
Space_Cat
Umm... he might've left me something. It was weird. While I was sleeping, there was this guy who said he had killed Morgana. Then, Morgana appeared and the guy tried to slash him.
Space_Cat
*The cat removed his helmet and lapped at the bowl with his tongue, noticing the strange sweetness of it.
Bgammax
That's called a dream. Anyways, mind if I keep the forcefield you gave me? Something like that'll likely come in handy
Space_Cat
OOC: Well, I'll be taking my leave. I'll be on watch for the next labyrinth! In the meantime, I'll start on my own.
Space_Cat
You can keep it. Bring it to me for repairs, if it gets damage.
Space_Cat
I'll be going now... see ya! *A bright light flashes, and the cat disappears.
