Luxuria Underside Log

LUXURIA DUNGEON LOG

A sense of unease permeates the air as the Executors go to meet up with Lana. While she's been nothing but friendly so far, the manic energy of the Luxuria layer and her demand for the power of an Executor in exchange for letting them pass through to the so-called 'VIP rides' makes things seem a little uncertain. Add to that the mysteries still surrounding much of Purgatory and the still unknown event that shook the whole world down to its foundations and things are starting to seem a little more grim. But it's too late for second thoughts now. Once the group meets with Lana and she cheerfully forms a contract with Rei, the Executors and their newest recruit descend down into the VIP section of the carnival – down a set of stairs that, by now, should be very familiar to all of you... Please note that due to the nature of Luxuria and its Underside, this entire log has a warning for adrenaline addiction, death, injuries and reckless self endangerment.

THE UNDERSIDE

♪♫ Now Is A Dull Party – Sakuzyo A blast of dry heat batters your face as the Executors descend into the Luxuria Underside. Rapid winds, seemingly whipped up solely by the excitement and energy of the layer push and pull at you as you descend the stairs, making for a hair-raising climb down. As you look down at the carnival that swims into view below you, that seems to be a bit of a theme. Curiously, from this far up, you can't see any Revenants freely wandering about and any who can sense them will find that what few Revenants remain have been corralled into cages and stables, almost like circus animals. It's... a little unsettling to see, honestly! Similarly unsettling is the noise and lights all about. While just about on the edge of tolerable, even to the Executors who might be more sensitive to the noise, there's a certain feverish excitement to things down here in the Underside that brings back unpleasant memories of the casino at Avaritia. And maybe they're not too dissimilar to each other – people are still gambling down here, after all. The only difference is that the huge crowd of Specters that occupy the Luxuria Underside aren't betting just money – they're betting their lives... Once they arrive in the Underside, Lana turns to the group and gives them a grin that shows just a little too much teeth. "Alright! I wanna see you guys strut your stuff. I mean, you've all got some crazy powers, right? Show me what you can do with 'em. Blow me away with some cool stunts on these rides and I just might let you further down." The same decreased inhibitions effect is at play down here as well, even more prominently than before. Surely that won't cause any sort of issue with all the dangerous rides at play, right? AREAS OF INTEREST ⚝ CARNIVAL ATTRACTIONS: As with the upper half of the Layer, there are a huge number of carnival attractions to be found, though they all have a slightly wonky bent. The food provided is largely in the form of 'challenge' foods with huge portions or extreme flavours – there's more than a handful of stalls serving spicy food so hot it makes you taste colours and hear blood. As well as food, though, there's some surprisingly normal rides and... some roadside attraction cages containing some of the Revenants that once wandered freely down here, now boxed up like animals. Say hi to Charles... ⚝ DEATH RIDES: What's a carnival without some rides? ⚝ CIRCUS TENT: Come one, come all... ⚝ . . . ?: See for yourself. HAZARDS ⚝ Rides: I Literally Can't Overstate How Dangerous These Rides Are. Thanks to their enhanced movement and durability, the Executors have a huge edge over your average Specter but all of them are still at serious risk of injury while taking part here. ⚝ Revenant Types Present: None.

[Medic is on the Dioscuri coaster tracks.]

[I need to be absolutely clear with you: she is not riding the coaster. She isn't inside the cars at all. I mean that she is on the tracks.]

[She hopped the guardrails, shimmied her way up to a point about halfway through the track, and is now just flat-out fucking standing there, her back to a sheer drop, on the track of the roller coaster.]

[There is a car coming.]

[She smiles serenely, remains standing in place- and, just at the last second before she would have been hit, jumps up over the front of the coaster car to land in the middle of one of the seats.]

Oh good, I got the timing right!

[If you were trying to ride this fucking nightmare like a normal person and just had an entire teenager land in your lap, I'm sorry in advance.]

[Veil has clinging to the side wall of her seat with her eyes clenched tightly shut (and screaming in absolute terror), so when Medic doesn't quite completely miss her, that's her first indication that another Executor is there at all. She opens one eye slightly, hoping not to see anything more than a few feet away from her.]

Dame Medic?!?!

[mementomoritz]

Oh, hi Veil! [Medic carefully shimmies in next to Veil, taking a seat while trying her best not to knock anyone else out of the car. She just seems genuinely happy to be here.]

Isn't this fun?
