Pandemonium
OOC: First time GMing. If I'm terrible, sorry in advance. Maximum of 6 party members. Liam's update system. Let's go.

IC: *The tower before you stretches high into the sky. It is lavishly decorated in crystal and gold. A hologram of the Emperor hovers above the entryway, a mocking smirk on his face.* Welcome, worms, to Pandemonium. It shall be where you die. Mwu Ha Ha Ha.
Bartz
OOC: I feel kinda bad saying this, but I didn't expect you'd do it now... I just entered another thread, and I have to leave in an hour... I know it's selfish, but can I ask you to postpone it...?
Emperor_Mateus
OOC: No problem. I'll start it up again sometime tomorrow. Probably like 6/7 UK Time, something like that.
Bartz
OOC cool ! thank you very much ! I didn't expect to be part of something like this as soon as I joined ! :)
Bartz
OOC: bumpety bump, if you're there mateus
Emperor_Mateus
OOC: I'm ready. Need about two others first. Max 6. Min 3.
Shiza_Salad
OOC: I'll join in.
Kuroumi
OOC: I'll join in too.
Bartz
The emperor... Just you wait ! The wind is with me ! I'll save my friends ! * his brave blade materializes in his hand*
Shiza_Salad
OOC: I'll join in, I just want context for what's happening first.
Emperor_Mateus
So you actually came, little rat. I thought you would have ran away.
Bartz
Humpf, I'm not scared of you ! There's no reason for me to retreat ! Besides, my friends are in danger, I have to save them !
Emperor_Mateus
*The emporer smirks*
So confidant. That shall be your downfall.
* Mateus vanishes with an echo of laughter. The door to Pandemonium opens*
Bartz
OOC should we wait for the others to manifest in character ?
Shiza_Salad
OOC: I still don't know what's going on...

IC:
*Shiza stumbles into the area*

Where the hell am I...?
Kuroumi
OOC: Confused, but I'll roll with what's going on.
IC:
*Kuro walks out of a portal, sword in hand.*
Looks dangerous, looks like a place to explore.
Emperor_Mateus
OOC: Yeah, I'll give it 10 minutes. As for what's going on, Mateus kidnapped Bartz friends and are keeping them captive in Pandemonium. Your task is to get to the top and save them.
Bartz
OOC: well emperor has somehow kidnaped Lena and possibly others. I need to save them. and now he taunts us and wants us to conquer his dungeon.
Bartz
Woah ! Where do you guys come from?!
Shiza_Salad
Lucifer, where am I?

(I believe you are in a place called "Pandemonium".)

What's that?

(I have no clue.)

*Shiza draws his scythe*

Guess I'll have to be careful.
Shiza_Salad
*Waves to Bartz*

Hi, I'm Shiza. I'd answer your question, but I don't know the answer. What's going on?
Kuroumi
Came from a portal, as you could tell. Name's Kuro, explain what's happening here.
Bartz
Well, this guy, he calls himself the emperor, kidnapped my friends, and I need to save them !
Shiza_Salad
I'll help out if I can.

*Sticks out his hand*

Nice to meet you.
Kuroumi
Save your friends? I guess I'll help then.
Bartz
* he grabs Shiza's hand and shakes it vigorously* Nice to meetcha ! My name is Bartz !
Emperor_Mateus
OOC: I'm back. Feel free to continue.
Shiza_Salad
*Shiza jolts up and down*

W-Whoa! Calm down, man!
Dahlia
Hey bartz! Need a healer, perhaps?
Bartz
Ho it's you ! Uh... Dahlia... RIght ? And yeah ! It'd be really welcome ! Normally Krile has our back with that sorta stuff... I hope she's safe... Galuf would kill me if I let her get harmed !
Dahlia
Yeah. Im sure she's fine bartz, right mow we need to save the girl mateus has locked up. Her names lenna right?
Shiza_Salad
*Flourishes his scythe*

What're we waiting for!? Let's go kick his ass!
Emperor_Mateus
* The doors are open. Do you dare enter?*
Dahlia
*runs in* lets do this!
Bartz
Well... Here we go !
* walks in*
Shiza_Salad
*Walks in*

Heh, piece of cake.
Kuroumi
*Walks in.*

This shouldn't be hard.
Bartz
I hope it won't. But if my past encounters with exdeath are anything to go by, it shouldn't be too hard. I think..
Emperor_Mateus
*The interior of the tower looks like nothing you expected. It seems to be a completely different world. Platforms of gems float above an abyss of clouds. One gemstone structure stretches out above you, complete with stairs going up the side. The only way is up it seems.*
Bartz
Well, the sky's the limit as they say. I hope these stairs don't go on for too long.
Dahlia
Well, going up i guess...
Shiza_Salad
*Shrug*

That's new.
Kuroumi
Well, this wasn't what I was expecting. Guess we have to deal with it though.
Shiza_Salad
*Starts climbing the steps*

Y'all coming?
Tower_Illusion
* As you climb the structure, a voice sounds*
Hmm? So your here already. I hope you have your tickets prepared.
Bartz
Uh... Tickets ? Y-Yeah ! of course we have !
Dahlia
Tickets to where exactly?
Shiza_Salad
T-Tickets? Uh...yeah! I have one!
Kuroumi
Tickets? 'Course I do.
Tower_Illusion
Heh. The, I'll just send my ticket collecters. Go my Black Waltz. Treat them to special performance.
*Three wizard like entities float down form the structure. They point their staffs at the party. They seem to want something. Fight?*
Shiza_Salad
*Whips around his scythe*

Let's do this.
Bartz
Wait wait wait ! Can we talk this out ? We.. We have those tickets, shouldn't we be treated as VIPs here ? Where's my scone with caviar?!
Kuroumi
*Holds her sword tightly and gets ready for a fight.*

Bring it on.
Dahlia
Bartz, its obvious the ticket is to hell. We have no choice but to fight. *flips her satchel around and grasps it tightly*

Tower_Illusion
*At the top of the stairs, a rather effeminate man floats above one of the shimmering grey gemstone circles, four orbs floating next to him. He smirks mischievously.*
Ah Bartz. Seems that Mateus was right when he said you were here. I may not be able to crush Zidane, but I will be able to crush his little friend.

Shiza_Salad
*Shiza turns to Bartz with a questioning look and points to the man*

Huh?
Dahlia
Hold on... is that... kuja?
Kuroumi
*She stop shining her sword, and looks at the man confused.*

We gotta deal with you too?
Bartz
Uh... I don't know you... uh.. Milady ? But.. Zidane... Hmmm...
Dahlia
Bartz, thats a dude. He just looks very... feminine to say the least...
Bartz
What?! No way ! Look at his clothes ! That's obviously a girl ! I may have been fooled once, but not anymore !
Tower_Illusion
So you don't remember... Zidane will be so sad to hear that his best friend has abandoned all memories of him.

Welp, only one way to go.
Dahlia
*picks up the gem* what's this?
Bartz
* he stands up, feeling a bit better. his garb returns to normal*

Can I see? Maybe it's a crystal. I saw one in my flash backs..
Kuroumi
*Steps onto the elevator.*
Let's see where this leads to.
Dahlia
Sure *shows it to him* so? Any idea what it is?
Bartz
* bartz takes the object and looks at it*

ooc: So, which is it mateus ?
Tower_Illusion
OOC: Well, the gem was supposed to be the elevator, but I like how this is going. I'll just say a Gem dropped and an elevator spawned.
Bartz
ooc: but is the gem a crystal ?
Tower_Illusion
OOC: No, it's not.
Bartz
OOc: aww. Anything particular Bartz finds out by analyzing it ?
Tower_Illusion
OOC: Well, you had the memory flash after beating Kuja. Keep it though. I have plans for it for later. If you want, you can recall something about early game Dissidia.

* gives the thing back to dahlia*
Nope. No dice.
Dahlia
I see. Thanks anyway. *gets on the elevator*
Shiza_Salad

Can y'all fill me in on what I missed?
Dahlia
We beat up kuja and found this strange gem.
Bartz
We beat some goons. One of them was a bit stronger and dropped a thing.
Shiza_Salad
Huh, nifty. Well, what's next?
Dahlia
I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.
Bartz
Riding the elevator. I just hope this thing won't go too high....
Bartz
OOC: it's already been four hours though. I can still continue a bit, but maybe you guys want to take a break and pitch a tent ?
Tower_Illusion
*The elevator rises into the clouds above. You wonder what challenges re next*
