Listen to me everybody! Find the others and meet me in the dining room immediately. We need to find each other now! If you're with someone you know stick together and watch each other's back.

Ringmaster if you're listening we sort of need you right fucking now!

[ He'd totally forgotten he even had this in his pocket until it lets out a a sudden bark of noise, and he'll fumble with the talk button on one-handed. Sorry, Psi, you get this jerk again. ]

Working on it. Would help if I could tell who anyone is.

[ He sounds aggravated, winded, but not in pain -- probably obvious that he's been fighting. ]

[dorkypantsuit]

Right... Actually...

[And now people are screaming as there masks randomly fly off of their faces]

Just start pulling off random people's masks!

[whattaprick]

That's not much of a plan!

[ However, he doesn't have a better one at the moment. He also doesn't have the finesse of psychically lifting individual masks off people's faces, so...

There's a snap-boom of rushing air and yells of complaint from party guests and sounds of glasses shattering as Lambert simply knocks people flat with a spell, one woman quite loudly yelling 'You boor!' as he tips the mask on her face up to look under.

At least he listened??? ]

[dorkypantsuit]

I know, but it's the best one I've got.

[He's amounting a quickly growing pile of masks in the air as he flies over the crowd. Once he'd gotten a decent amount he destroys them with a carefully aimed optic blast. If you hear a cracking sound as one of the walls in the room crumbles try not to be too concerned.]

[whattaprick]

[ Hey, it sounds like Psi's got it under control, so that's one less body to worry about. And the Host's good mood... or lack thereof... is the last thing on his mind. ]

Then I'll see you when we've rounded up everyone else.

Try not to die.

[spaghettimonster]

I found somebody, but they bit me! Should I still bring them??

[dorkypantsuit]

[Shit.]

Who is it? Can you knock them out?!

[spaghettimonster]

I... I don't remember their name??

[Maybe there was something to the warnings about this party.]

Uhh, they're new! They fix things!

[dorkypantsuit]

Okay, well just knock them out and bring them over here!

If you can't subdue them we'll just have to go back for them later!

[spaghettimonster]

I can do that. As soon as I see them again!

[dorkypantsuit]

[FACEPALM]

Just get here as fast as you can!

[spaghettimonster]

Okay!!!

[When you don't have lungs, you can run and talk at once... But that's rude. You're supposed to stop walking when you're talking.]

[kingsroads]

Somebody tell me if there's a mirror in the dining room!

[ says the person who...straight up is not at the dining room. Look, this is what radios are for, asking nonsense questions that are actually important but only make sense if you actually give context, Strange. ]

[dorkypantsuit]

[Psi doesn't even care. If someone needs to know he's telling. He looks around for a second before spotting one.]

Yes! It's... Uh, on the wall.

Super useful information right there.

[kingsroads]

[ Strange can't help but sound far too pleased about the existence of said mirror. ]

Try not to cover it. If I'm to bring someone else into the dining room, I don't want us to get caught in curtains.

[dorkypantsuit]

Alright.

[With Strange and Sans bringing people here they had to be able to keep a majority of their staff safe, right?]

I'll try to keep the space in front of it clear, just be careful

[kingsroads]

Thank you. And...best of luck trying to keep everything under control.

[forkedroad]

Lauren is missing, and he's been injured.

What exactly is happening?

[dorkypantsuit]

The short answer: vampires.

Don't go off with anyone you don't. Try and stay in a group!

[forkedroad]

I'm with his brother.

How are they killed? Do you know?

[dorkypantsuit]

I... I don't know!

If you crush their insides they stay down, that's all I know. But everything else seems to be useless!

[forkedroad]

Understood. That's more than enough. That alone saves a lot of time.

[dorkypantsuit]

If you get in trouble, call for me, alright?

[forkedroad]

But of course.

[whattaprick]

[ And he'll butt in here right quick, sharp and clipped: ]

Warden says you've got to destroy the heart. Silver's best if you've got it, fire doesn't seem to hurt 'em as much but it'll get 'em off your back.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Oh thank god.]

That's much easier.

Thanks.

[forkedroad]

I've no silver, but I'll remember this. Fire it is, 'till another time.

[thevictoriandetective]

I need to know any and all information anyone has on vampires. Can they be killed? And what happens if we find someone that's been turned?

[dorkypantsuit]

If you find someone's been turned knock them out. We can restrain them until someone can take a look at them.

[As for the info on the vampires, he doesn't know much.]

They're hard to kill, they don't stay down. Don't approach strangers, and if you find yourself fighting one try and escape or to make a scene.

...The best way to incapacitate them is to... Break all the bones in their bodies, in my experience.

[thevictoriandetective]

Right.

[A sigh and roll of his eyes.]

Of course. And here I am, thinking that killing dead things would be easy.

[empty_vessel]

I found a closet, and I'm safe for the moment. Everything's clearly marked, though and I can make my way down. If I see anybody else, I'll call.

[dorkypantsuit]

If you're sure I won't stop you, just stay as safe as possible.

[musicinmotion]

I can't find--

I don't--I can't find my fiance! I think he's--

[No. There was no way Viktor had been turned. Back in his right state of mind, Yuuri is freaking out just a tiny bit.

Tiny being an understatement.]

How am I suppose to find anyone when they're all over??

[dorkypantsuit]

Panicking doesn't help! Just do your best and try and stay calm.

[musicinmotion]

How are any of us suppose to stay calm when so many people are missing?? What if they're--what if...

[dorkypantsuit]

Fine then! Panic if you want, but doing so is useless. It's better if you try and stay calm.

[musicinmotion]

[Okay wait. This guy's right. As much as Yuuri is having trouble keeping himself from panicking he can at least recognize that.

Which is why when he manages to respond, his voice is a little more steady. Just a little.]

I..you're right. I know you're right. I'm sorry. I'm just--I'm worried about everyone and I feel helpless.

a little later, still during the chaos

[wild_magic]

Where is the dining room?? We can't find it, this place is too confusing!
