[IC Board] All the World's a Game - Season II

Paris | France

Putting on her glasses, Carmelita started looking through the footage "Proto, how strong is that acid you mentioned earlier?" she asked while fast forwarding between the hours prior the possible time of theft. "If the robot Master has a similar level of strength on such element, we will need to find him soon." she explained.

The energy surrounding them gave Toriel a frown as her paw touched the nearest wall "This place is ancient.. Calling those of weak minds to be corrupted." she spoke trying to find anything resembling lore or signatures to understand such place.

Standing in the doorway as Carmelita watched the footage, Proto Man crossed his arms and replied rather bluntly.

"Strong enough to eat through concrete, but against metal it's actually quite corrosive. Depending on the alloys in the metal of course. Why. Did you find something?" Proto Man spoke as he stepped further into the archives.

As he did he turned towards the footage of the night the incident happened. The cameras seemed to catch something interesting. What it showed was Ice Man alone in the factory before the sound of glash breaking then a very bright flash that seemed to disrupt the cameras. Almost as if it was either a flashbang or EMP. As the distortion on the cameras began to fade Ice Man's silhouette can be seen on the ground with a more round, circular figure. A shape Proto Man seems to recognize. Seeing this Proto Man leaned forward and tried to get a better look...

As the group proceeded down the ice covered halls they eventually made it to a very large room with what looked to be frozen corpses, chains, and cages hanging all around. The ice seemed to be more prominent here, as it was literally covering the walls and ceiling with large icicles. Though one of the biggest things in the room was what seemed to be a decently sized glacier about the size of a house in this large room attached to an equally large door.... and something large and black seemed to be frozen inside it.

Coming from this large glacier was a strong source of demonic power that could be felt. Something Palutena and Julius could feel. Hell, you didnt need to be able to sense magic in order to feel the heavy aura of demonic magic. It felt ancient like Toriel said, but it now felt as if something was going to happen at any minute... like there was just a foreboding aura in the air.

Efina watched the screen closely until the little round shadow appeared on the screen. It matched closely with the shape of the robot she had drawn earlier, almost too closely. It seemed odd to Efina that so much evidence was already pointing towards one person. Either he was a very incompetent loner or he was a pawn.of someone else who was staying hidden. But just to make sure, she looked up at the red robot and asked. "Is that who I think it is?"

Washington D.C | Demonic Tower

Feeling the strong demonic aura in the area actually made Papyrus sweat a little. Needless to say it was the last place he expected to end up when he came to his brother's apartment with a bag full of Christmas gifts. But despite the worries he had, he did his best to stay brave and strong for the others.

Frisk on the other hand had an expressionless face. Even in these conditions she was as calm and cool as it came. Fighting gods and eldrich abominations can give a person nerves of steel i guess.. Frisk took one look at the large ice cube and she finally showed some emotion by smiling. "Hey mom." she called out before looking at Toriel. "I hope no one gets... COLD FEET!" The tall skeleton couldn't' help but face palm at hearing the human's silly ice pun, but he couldn't help but smile jsut a little at the joke.

Of course a distortion appeared when the event ocurred, but the Inspector could see a good image of whoever attacked Ice Man "Things are easily pointing to the same person, he is either too dumb to hide or there is someone placing the crosshairs on a scapegoat." she spoke while forming other theories in her mind.

A chuckle could be heard from the twili as they reached the frozen room "Dungeon crawling 101, when you reach a big empty room, the most common thing to expext is either an ambush, or a powerful being." she saidband pointed to the glacier "I bet you 50 rupees that thing will free itself and try to stop our journey."

The laughter of Toriel suddenly could be heard at the bad joke, much to the misfortune of the tall skeleton warrior "Well, it could be a problem, but we can just let it SLIDE." she countered with acworse pun.

Proto Man remained completely quiet as he watched the security footage play again and again, and each time he can tell. The shape in the video is definitely Toad Man. It was as if he was thinking deeply, and in fact he was. He was thinking of how when the creator of Toad Man, Dr. Cossack was having his robots attack different parts of the globe, Proto Man had found out that the kind doctor was being blackmailed by Dr. Wily to command his robots to cause havoc. So either history is repeating itself... or something or someone else is behind all this mess.

Thinking about this Proto Man sighed as he turned to leave the room.

"Looks like history might be repeating itself. I'll be back. I need to go check in with an old... friend. Carmelita you better check the city's sewer systems. Toad Man has a habit of hiding in sewers." Proto Man spoke up before he left the building. However before any of them could follow him, the sound of Proto Man's infamous teleportation sound could be heard. A sound specific to robots of Proto Man's world.

Where he was going to was... mostly unknown.



Washington D.C | Demonic Tower


Julius listened to Midna and chuckled a bit as he examined the large glaciar that seemed to contain a large... creature inside it. It was clear Julius was also familiar with these kinds of things.

"With the stuff I've been through when going through Dracula's castle, I'll agree. Big empty room. Usually means big nasty creatures. So stay on guard." He says as he takes one step closer towards the large glaciar. That's when a demonic growl of a voice could be heard all over the room.

"Who... enters the tower of Temen-ni-gru? You are not of his blood..."


Hearing this Julius stepped back and looked at the glaciar.

"... His blood? Temen-ni-Gru... I heard that name before... but where. Not in my world, but in this one." Julius asked himself as he thought. He then turned to the glaciar and spoke.

"What is Temen-ni-Gru?"

"I will not tell a mortal anything regarding the secrets of this tower."

". . ." Julius was thinking deeply about what kind of response to throw at the beast. Giving the others a chance to ask any questions.

Frisk laughed at her mother's little joke and was about to make another of her own before this new being showed up in front o them. Frisk didn't know what to make of this guy at first. She wasn't' afraid of him but neither did she trust him. If she were to turn her back on him she felt he might attack her and the others. However when he refused to say anything about the tower she thought maybe she could convince him. "If you tell us I'll give you some of the pie i was saving. It's cinnamon and butterscotch!." she told him.

Papyrus then chimed in with a "We also have spaghetti if you want it."

Efina didn't know what to think when the robot left the room. He seemed like he was either upset or worried about something. She looked back at her mother and waited to see what she would do.

Washington D.C | Demonic Tower

The response and 'offering' that Frisk and Papyrus both offered did not seem to please the beast contained in front of them. In fact it seemed to make him a little angered. As if it wasn't a good enough offering.

"Foolish trespassers. You cannot win over the first guardian of this tower with petty offerings!!" The beast howled much like a wolf before the glaciar it was contained in shattered...

What stood before it was a large 3 headed dog the size of a house with a large metal like collar sticking around it's 3 necks. The 3 heads of the beast each had a different eye color, and more importantly seemed to spin around so one would be in the center. The beast had a large chain attached to it's 'collar' that kept it attached to the wall. As if it was sealed and trapped here. In fact the whole chain and collar it had looked... rather painful.

The large demonic mutt growled and snarled as it stood up. It's body was tinted blue as if it was suffering from extreme frost-bite. Not only that but it had what looked to be armor made of ice surrounding the whole beast.

Seeing this Palutena quickly put up her guard and got into an offensive stance, and Pit quickly took instinct and got in-front of her. Much like a bodyguard.

Julius on the other hand was looking up at the beast with a not so impressed stare, but he still had his hand on his whip. Ready for it.



"FEAR THE WRATH OF CERBERUS! FOR I AM THE FIRST GATEKEEPER!!!"

Washington D.C | Demonic Tower

Frisk wasn't really fazed by the large dog either. It was only the second creepiest dog with multiple heads she had seen in her lifetime. She took the stick she had been holding and tossed it at the large demonic canine while shouting at it to "FETCH!! come on boy, bring back the stick. Who's a good boy? you'r a good boy oh yes you are!" Frisk didn't expect this dog to react the same way as the ones form the underground when it came to fetching sticks and being petted, but it didnt' hurt to try.

Papyrus on the other hand was actually slightly nervous that a dog that big might also want a big bone. Speaking of big bones, he summoned one from the ground and held it in his hands like a bo-staff as he go ready to fight the creature.

Washington D.C | Demonic Tower

A mildly comedic moment happened much to even Julius's surprise when the one of the three dog heads turned to it and looked alerted and almost as if it wanted to go after it, and another head also looked as if it was eyeing Papyrus's bone-staff. Though immediately the head's swiveled around and one of the others was now in the center. Though instead of going after the stick or the bone, Cerberus was instead as serious as before, despite swapping heads. Almost as if the other 2 heads were like mindless dogs driven by instinct, and whatever head was in the center had all the brain power.

Midna's reaction to the canines was of surprise, but still, she was already preparing the area as specks of energy could be faintly seen by those with keen eyes "Since you do have more brain power than the average beast, I will ask who is the master of this place, while it is pretty much obvious this won´t end in peace, at least you can grace us with the name of whoever is the one in charge of this whole mess." she asked the gatekeeper.

Carmelita simply made a dismissive wave of her hand to Proto Man "Whatever you need to do, don't hesitate to call me, this situation will be bigger than just a robbery." she spoke while putting the glasses back on its pocket. The Inspector had other things she could say, but Ice Man was already uncomfortable enough and things could go bad if she pressed the wrong metaphorical button of the Robot Master "Guess we will have to visit Toad Man, although the sewer system is a labyrinth on its own right." she sighed.
