Abandoned Lab Site

The location was not hidden away unlike the efforts they made to hide away their experimentation, actually it was disguised as an actively working bar and according to certain sources, the lab itself was what was abandoned. It’s unknown as to what the reason was but various individuals had their eye on it due to the experiments related to the chaos emeralds.

Besides that the bar is surprisingly active and well received on the coast, nothing out of the ordinary, good pay, and some damn good drinks to boot for their careful services. They had quite the handful of customers today unfortunately so it might make looking for the abandoned site much more difficult.. {event}

Lots of people hanging out, practically performing tomfoolery as they play amongst the sand and palm trees nearby the bar, currently it seems open for more customers as the individual working the shift is actively cleaning glasses and various other items to prepare for another influx of customers.

Could be a good time to probe a bit, but considering most of these people are likely just civilians it’s unlikely they’d know anything. {event}

The bartender would look to him raising their brow, shaking their head before responding

“If you’re another one of those dumb kids that started or heard that rumor, I’m gonna have to disappoint you and say there wasn’t one”

*They would be concocting a drink for someone who called out their name, just casually working on this as they kept speaking.

“As much as I’d like to help whatever stupid plot you’ve worked for yourself I’ve genuinely got no clue and I sure as [ ] don’t know about anyone else who’d have any genuine idea about its whereabouts.” {event}

(Darn it tupper)

Roll for it

Theres some things that stick out around the bar itself, small bolts and wedges in places that seemed a bit unconventional for a building in general. Nothing that concrete besides an entrance without a way to open it {event}

The wood would burn away but as the metal foundation began to be revealed it only started to get heated, unfortunately it’s quite resistant to being melted..might wanna stop that fire that’s started now.. {event}

(Rolling to see if this gets funny)

It was simple, the door would go flying into the lavatory, then somehow despite the odds the momentum it had gained would send it flying into an object sending it flying back out towards Luxu. The object in question was a small tray with multiple beakers.. {event}

As he continued to venture further into this space, it’s already very off putting. There was absolutely some lingering energy, but this chaos energy left behind felt— off putting, unatural...

The location was in dissary, but it’s not extremely large, mostly dedicated to around 10 rooms. With the first 3 being the main lobby, reception, and even a simple commons area.

The rest were dedicated to rooms for specific purposes like security, testing, and even developmental purposes. {event}

)

As he enters the room, this would be—by the looks of it at least, one of the designated testing areas for prototypes of..whatever they worked on here. One thing was for sure, for such a small place it absolutely reeked with the scent of death. {event}

Crystak shards, torn documents, lab coats..ironically the equipment seemed in better shape than the actual lab itself. Which..makes very little sense unless someone else had been frequenting this place. {event}

tul!edit > Crystal shards, torn documents, lab coats..ironically the equipment seemed in better shape than the actual lab itself. Which..makes very little sense unless someone else had been frequenting this place. Especially with the scent saying otherwise unless they were some sort of psycho.

Sry was busy-

God damn he apparently piled up a thing or two

The documents when gathered and lined up surprisingly were— cohesive, to Luxu it was actually pretty easy to piece everything together like one giant puzzle. Through some of the paragraphs or documents, it covers information regarding mobians with the potential for the super phenomenon known as Ascendentes Chaotica a scientific name they made to identify mobians such as Sonic, Shadow, or Silver with the complicity to use super form. The name translates in plain English to those who ascend through chaos and it’s quite fitting considering they go onto exploring and explaining various phenomena that comes from chaos energy, sorcery, enigmatic beings such as fleetway, and even a few sub sections where they delved into the various potential entities that can form whenever someone is exposed to high amounts of chaos radiation when they are identified as a member of the very rare group of individuals who have the potential to achieve a super form. But there is plenty more there to find.. {event}

(Well shit)

(I uh)

(Don’t got anything prepared for that)

(Know what ima expose a npc)

Among the documents it actually turns out multiple people survived these experiments, but most lost or gave control to the manifestations of this chaos energy. Even documented actively who and where they were..one of them was the bar keeper on the surface, well that’s surprising considering they acted completely normal and not as erratically as documented, perhaps time had taken its course on them?

Other than that the name Kassandra is one name that seems important, a prodigy— genius among the world’s best potentially..yet she locked herself away her and slaved over the idea of making the chaos emeralds until one day, she used herself as a test subject despite her lack of affinity for chaos energy at all. Yet despite all the odds..she may have lost herself, but she did in fact survive and achieve something no one thought possible. Unfortunately that’s where the documents legibility ends..rest of it was basically thrown into a paper shredder by the looks of it. {event}

The name that the barkeeper was documented under was Requiem due to an absurd output yet very limited amount of usage of this output every day..like a magnum that lacks a stable supply of magazines in order to properly be used in combat. {event}

tul!edit > The name that the barkeeper was documented under was Requiem due to an absurd output yet very limited amount of usage of this output every day..like a magnum that lacks a stable supply of magazines in order to properly be used in combat. Besides that..they possessed the ability to recreate events that had already happened in the past, only a set amount of time could be measured depending on how much chaos energy they had stored..an amazing ability all things considered.

Without any warning something crashes around the room, tumbling carelessly as the sounds of small clicks of glass or crystal like objects mingle between each other. Soft cracks and loud snaps accompanying every thud against the ground, somethings in the next room and it’s huge..whatever it was it’s likely not the most friendly creature in the world if it survived this place.. {event}

(Some music for this thing)

(Bit Cortney but it’ll hit the tone I want)

The creature’s body was made of hanging gemstones, cracked, broken, it has been mutated beyond recognition..was this a flicky? What in the name of Gaia happened to this tiny creature? What did they do? There’s not much time to worry on that as its body starts to radiate energy. The light of its power pulsing throughout the location as it turns, the now grotesque beak revealing itself from beneath the crystal cloak it’s managed to make itself. The slow, ear gritting chirps each creating another pulse as it slowly turns towards Cyanide, revealing beneath these crystals a face before it lowers its other legs— where it once had wings but now replaced with a wide crystal webbing trapping and piercing through it, creating a makeshift foreleg.

It snarls before letting out a screech as it’s now seen him, and this flicky was waiting for its next meal for quite a long time.. {event}

The creature’s body was made of hanging gemstones, cracked, broken, it has been mutated beyond recognition..was this a flicky? What in the name of Gaia happened to this tiny creature? What did they do it to make it the size of the room? There’s not much time to worry on that as its body starts to radiate energy. The light of its power pulsing throughout the location as it turns, the now grotesque beak revealing itself from beneath the crystal cloak it’s managed to make itself. The slow, ear gritting chirps each creating another pulse as it slowly turns towards Cyanide, revealing beneath these crystals a face before it lowers its other legs— where it once had wings but now replaced with a wide crystal webbing trapping and piercing through it, creating a makeshift foreleg.*

It snarls before letting out a screech as it’s now seen him, and this flicky was waiting for its next meal for quite a long time..

As the flicky takes slow steps, it continues chirping. Chaos energy being used to recreate echolocation in a sense..could it not see? It’s hard to tell with its crystalin cloak obscuring most of its body but from its stature it had taken a more canine like stance, on all fours prowling like an apex predator..slow, calculating steps.

One thing was for sure, every single step it takes..it’s getting closer to where Luxu was.. {event}

Then— the sounds from outside finally Grace its senses..it moves more so towards the exit of the room, seeking a far more— plentiful source of nourishment.. {event}

(Your choice on what Luxu does here)

(Man time for the ultimate twist)

Luxu continues exploring until— thud..then the sounds of constant— struggling..it’s also become noticeably harder to hear anything outside..

Without even having to go check the sounds the creature was making was obvious about what happened, it was somehow too fat and got stuck.. {event}

Besides that, the room he heads into would be a room where various other crystals were kept, test tubes and— containment cells meant to house organisms whilst they either developed or..were experimented on. This was the bio-engineering lab likely and the sight was absolutely not pretty..there were far fewer items out of place here however, actually..a good question is— wad that large creature even aggresive in the first place? Or..simply very cautious? Either makes sense but considering how much it must be starving it’s hard to say it was going to be reasonable. {event}

The creature’s struggles only grew louder..

Luxu would find more documents, this time burnt..completely reduced to ashes. It looked recent— had that bar tender been coming down here learning and destroying evidence?..It could add up to why the equipment was so well-kept, but it also raises a question..just what were they doing down here? However there was a document still in tact but marked by someone with various notes..

Bastard was on of the more common words found on the document..followed up by Tyrant, Meglomaniac, and Manipulator

There was only one clearly written sentence written on the outside of the document, but..the language it was left in and the toll of time has left it quite hard to both translate and read.. {event}

(Damn bro read gibberish)

faded gibberish

After a long time of translating..this was the result.

Your sister deserved so much better. {event}

tul!edit > After a long time of translating..this was the result.

Your sister deserved so much better…but instead you transformed the last thing she had except yourself, all because she refused to put you through a nightmare for the sake of power.

The document had various labels and notes, these were..made by someone else— not Kassandra as they’re clearly not organized as well and majority of the notes were apologies, with some of it written over with vile messages saying that Kassandra should rot, die, other..horrible messages..anything professionally typed onto the paper is only somewhat legible. But the images shown within the document were— horrifying, surgery, the wires layered along the nervs— the process of practically rebuilding a mobian thousands upon thousands of times over due to their limbs exploding..this was— far more extreme than the rest of the experiments in the lab, even if it weren’t as eerie in result..one final note left behind by the person, possibly Kassandra’s sister was— She’s still alive

With the final note that.could he assumed as maybe the bar tender— well..no, it couldn’t be. The bar tender would’ve been far to unstable to properly for, sentences like this so it’s possibly an escaped lab rat..but the note goes as follows: She must die for our safety {event}

(Go for it)

Without much of a warning suddenly Luxu could hear the creature screeching again, crashing itself over and over into the wall in an attempt to break free— wait..if that creature was a flicky, it’s..implied that by the note of whoever this third stranger could possibly be referred to it as someone important to Kassandra’s sister, a support animal? Possibly..but it’s more likely a pet considering the mental fortitude one would have to have here..

The other rooms were..it’s hard to even describe, it’s more so on the level of a genuine psychopath.

(Because I can’t do that level of horror legally in the server, here is a legally distinct and toned down version)

Crystals..embedded deep into various bodies of— corpses..the rest that had been done to them were indescribable..like some sort of twisted decorations and yet— forcefully kept..in a state of prolonged agony..their bodies were either broken, or just still turning to crystallized dust as their emeralds remained active acting as.. parasites. {event}

Nothing..not documents, no leftover devices..just..more corpses, each more horrifying than the last even for Luxu’s usual expectations, some of them even had messages written out with whatever parts of their body the individual who caused this seemed to grab onto..

(I cannot say what but it’s implied) {event}

He can barely notice a hidden room behind one of the toppled over storage cabinets..it was— mostly blocked in a rush it seems, maybe there could be something behind there? It’s hard to gauge if that could be either good or bad judging the current room, but it’s not exactly close to— most..of the corpses.. {event}

(I’m trying to find a song for this)

https://youtu.be/mwmbqRr6s8Q?is=imYjrYDmsiLVkohJ

As he walks into the room, it’s..a entire catalogue— rows of documents untouched gathering dust but, there’s something else here..something was blocked into here. Why else would it be completely sealed off? Then— he sees it. There’s no creature, nothing that could harm him anything but mentally. It was Kassandra’s sister, mutilated beyond recognition- with their body broken and shattered like gems the torment etched into their face as their last dying moments. The worst part was, it’s as if they weren’t even dead. The emerald forced upon them kept them in this ever eternal state of agony whilst put onto a spike. Unable to move, to scream, to even plead and yet despite their condition they’re— alive..*

The items around the area told the story on its own..Kassandra did this, she used all the documented methods, brought in some equipment into the room and— decisively decided to keep her sister alive and in their hands with one singular choice, too..practically immortalize them. The girl— once mobian..was now this crystalline like mobian creature, it’s hard to say if they could ever be recovered especially mentally as there’s no telling how long they’ve been here alone.. There’s also no insurance to say that there is a way to even fix them..

She was..crying.. {event}

As the emerald pulsated..one part of the body moves as if— trying to reach out towards something..besides Kassandra— this woman is the only other plausible way of understanding what happened and even if or how a chaos emerald or even a close prototype was made..but upon closer inspection the documents weren’t for the labs experiments, it was all the methods Kassandra used to transform her sister....this was the 479th test and most successful before Kassandra had gotten bored of her.. {event}

Besides that, whatever the hand was pointing to..they seemed—desprate..as if begging for them to look at it.. {event}

It was a note they left behind, describing the horrific scenario they were left in. This— current state..even if they destroyed the emerald it wouldn’t do anything, she was changed too far and now— she genuinely was one of their artificial replicas..meaning what Luxu was about to do was cause even more suffering.

The letter goes onto further talking about, what Milly actually was..a enigmatic entity that mimics the state of a individual at a fraction of their memories, which, for Kassandra meant a child like persona. Kassandra while alive was..trapped. To her knowledge she has no way out yet…the only thing that she regrets is ever letting herself believe that her sister loved her.

More of the note describes some..oddly disturbing childhood, it’s not even a question as to why either of them are so disturbed as individuals— their mother was not forgiving of their mistakes and had imprinted her desires onto Kassandra, this insatiable drive for power..came from the need to escape from abuse at first, then, it transformed into this horribly morbid curiosity of a fantasy she couldn’t accept not being able to obtain.. {event}

The eye stares up to Luxu..but..lowers, she had no idea..most of the pieces of her body were spread out and tiny but. She points to the emerald— likely not the solution but..perhaps its inspiration could do something?..

Their mouth— or what was supposed to be it was too far gone for them to speak as of currently but it still was..somewhat fruitful that they could even think within their current state..but there’s no telling how they are mentally without body language at least and even that’s a stretch to make any definitive calls with..but there’s no doubt that this whole time, however long they’ve been here? They could feel pain at least.. {event#
