lets_do_the_timeloop | FIGHTY PREPLAY - Blackreef, Monday Afternoon

Welcome to the preplay for the big fight, which will go up on Monday afternoon European time!

This one's pretty straightforward: you guys will be fighting goons and Julianna while Egor skips around and takes potshots. Egor has the power to turn invisible, buuut your buddy Colt has set up devices all around the perimeter that disrupt his invisibility.

Two of you, as the RNG dictates, will finally corner Egor near one of these devices and take him out.

Now, that's not what fixes the time loop. What fixes the time loop is Egor and Colt and Julianna dying. Luckily, Colt is on your side, and he'll take care of the rest, so a few minutes after Egor goes down, you'll all find yourself catapulted back to Fandom as the time loop ends.

One last thing: you can still die here, if you want. Anyone who dies before the loop shuts down will wake up on the island on Tuesday morning, as healthy as they were when they woke up on Monday morning. Let me know in the OOC if you want an NPC to, ahem, arrange that for you.

It's still afternoon, not evening, and so unlike yesterday's group, the team arriving on Blackreef would find the island not quite covered in marshmallow snow yet. It was still cold, and the grass under their feet looked anemic, and the Complex... was empty?

Wait. That's gunfire.

Every last cultist on the island has gathered by Egor's lab, a series of shipping containers tweaked and remodeled to form isolated buildings full of equipment. Here and there, strange machines rise from the ground, casting a faint aura around themselves.

Atop one container stands Julianna, her sniper rifle aimed across the gap at... Colt, pistols drawn, standing on top of another container.

They are also shooting. It's a thing today. And--

And that's...

OKAY THAT'S SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH GUNS AND KNIVES RUNNING AT YOU.

What were these people trying to do to him?! To his lab?! Egor sped through the clearing, gun in hand. He was invisible, he could still get away, he could...

He passed through one of those nigh-invisible domes, and suddenly he could see his own hands again.

Shit.

He kept running.

For requests for NPCs et al.

Blackreef is... Quiet?

LEROY JENKINS!
