The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[Rin Kagamine]

R1: IT'S MY ROOM! And...It's a bit...messy...*changes back and opens bedroom door, goes in, but quickly closes the door behind*

Holy Cow...it is messy...

R2: *playing PS2 again*
DIE YOU STUPID PIIIIIIIRAAAAAATES! *an explosion on the game is heard*

……………

MAX DIED!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!! FEEL MY WRATH!!!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

I meant the other room...*Sighs*

*Explores MORE of the house*

[Sonic20]

Shall we move on?

Dimentio's Ghost: Apply multipliers, then travel to the megabyte punch universe and defeat the bosses a couple of times each. Also will give us some nice drops.

Sounds like a plan. *opens portal*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

You are kidding me.

*TNT is ambushed by a horde of MENS BATHROOM SIGNS (LVs 7750~8250).*

...Why? Why in RK's house? Why would there be sentient bathroom signs in RK's house? Aren't houses supposed to be living spaces FREE of these things?!?!

*Opens can of whoopa** on the horde of MENS BATHROOM SIGNS.*

*MENS BATHROOM SIGNS have been defeated in 1 attack!*

*They drop various generic loot and grant @^O&)%$ EXP!*

...Hrm. *Tries to contact Sonic Via telepathy*

[Sonic20]

*almost steps through*

<Wait, what? Oh, telepathy. What do you want?>

*steps through portal*

Dimentio's Ghost: Oh my, I don't believe it's supposed to look like this.

Look like wha- OH DEAR GOD.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

<...That just can't be good, whatever you're fretting about.>

<I'm currently at RK's house, along with RK and HI. Don't worry about the Base, I've made sure that it's basically impossible to find when I don't want it to be.>

<RK's normalcy is now in deep question...Apparently she lives in a physical location that is equivelant to her thoughts. She's either got other reality-warping buddies or a deity to do this, or she herself IS the Reality-warper and/or deity. This is impossible otherwise. Like, literally.>

<So, what's going on for you?>

*Continues exploring house, which seems far more labyrinthine than he expected of a standard house.*

[Sonic20]

<I've entered the universe of Megabyte Punch. I meant to grins, but I discovered something worse, Everything but the empire's fortress is in ruins. Either a dark writ was here or the emporer somehow won.>

Dimentio's Ghost: It can't be. The power coming from the fort is too great for that weakling.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

<Urgh...You're assuming. Dark Writs are NOT the ones for random wanton destruction. Karma's the most overt of the lot, and even then she's hardly destructive, she'd barely do anything of harm on her own...Freedom would impose fascism, not have everything blown up. Explosions are chaotic, and that's Freedom's bane. And Image would find it a waste of time. He wants everything dead in one fell swoop. If Image was in control of this, nothing would have happened here. No...Can you think of anything else that could be likely? I heard Nightmare got pissed off real nasty at something. Baron's privileges. You might be looking at the aftermath of that. Stay sharp, in any case...>

*TNT has entered what he has registered to be the bottom 9th floor, which seems to have been a rather luxurious Prohibition-era Speakeasy. TNT wonders if RK even KNOWS about this place-he did bust open/teleport through some really solid-looking doors to get here, after all...and it all looked really dusty after B1. Good lord, those Dust bunnies would have been annoying for low-leveled characters.*

[Sonic20]

<Alright. I'll investigate the Empire's Binary Fortress and see who's behind this.>

Dimentio's Ghost: ... Hmm... This is a trap. As much of a weakling as he is, the emporer somehow is behind this.

Come again? He's dead.

Dimentio's Ghost: If you can transform into a Megac, he knows you're here.

... Right.

Dimentio's Ghost: And the security there is extremely tight.

So what you're saying is, he's alive again, he changed the events of the game, and somehow has extreme power that may have been given to him?

Dimentio's Ghost: To put it lightly.

... I want to avoid any issues, so I'll just leave and close off this dimension so the emporer doesn't get any crazy ideas.

Dimentio's Ghost: Ah. Shall I seal it?

Sure. *goes through portal, and dimentio follows, binding the dimension in chains*

So, what's next-

Dimentio's Ghost: Oh dear. It seems we're on the spot again.

How so?

Dimentio's Ghost: 3... 2... 1...

RT: *Slamming her fists on the door to RK1's room* RKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRK RKRK!!!!!! RK, I kind of need you right now! This is important! Important thing! IMPORTANT THING!!!

*TNT INSPECTS PROHIBITION ERA SPEAKEASY.*

*This area is highly dusty and dirty. Incredibly so. However, rubbing off dirt reveals very well aged and d**m expensive alcohol. It's official, RK didn't know about this.*

*After giving the room enough of a cleaning to tell what most of the objects are, TNT detects 1 1920's CASH REGISTER, Approx. 190 different types of alcohol, with 10 particular types being HYPER RARE, and 1 large jar of INK OF SQUID PRO QUO, a LEGENDARY rarity item, which TNT immediately bags. There are 3 barstools at the speakeasy bar, and 2 pool tables, with racks and all. In short, this place was likely the result of a very-well-to-do MOBSTER HEAD, like the dreaded MOBSTER KINGPIN. You don't f*** with MK.*

*It dawns on you that MK might be an alias. I mean, come on, MOBSTER KINGPIN simply cannot be his real name. It's likely that the letters MK are his real initials, though, but...You have very little clue what it could be. This disturbs you. However, you do NOT know if MK was actually behind this particular SPEAKEASY. You may need to clean it more...Or, you could use the CAIRO OVERCOAT'S time-travel abilities to get to the 1920's, when this Bar was a bustling hive of ILLEGAL LIQUOR PURCHASE.*

*You ponder this decision. You do much less pondering on the searching of the CASH REGISTER, but sadly, there is only 1 dollar and a few pennies left. You take them anyways.*

<S2, I've encountered a Speakeasy of sorts under RK's house, 9 floors down from ground level. RK simply can't have heard of it, it's behind too many doors and this place has more dust than I've ever seen before. Nothing hostile here, though I'm getting odd suspicions from the place...I'm trying to get RK down here now. How are things going on YOUR end?>
