FINAL CONFRONTATION.

[foundationmods]

The Winchester House looms before you, the barrier that kept everything in - the time stop that Dog placed over the area - now thin as a single pane of transparent glass, Solomon still clearly outside the house frozen in the same position he was on the tapes.

The minutes tick by - and the barrier slowly gets thinner and thinner, close to falling.

You have seen everything - the events of the past. You have also come up with your own ideas of what to do from here - how to save your fellow 6350's lost to the curse, and defeat the Curse itself.

There is no one left alive in the house.

But, at the end of all of this...

There will be a wrong righted.

[Meanwhile, there's going to be a little more bullet hell happening topside in the living room just to make things more annoying for everyone. For now, the shots mostly seem to be coming from the walls, but the location will keep moving; might be best to take care of this before the room gets completely swarmed with bullets and butterflies.]

[respring]

[ Oh jesus christ, three of them. Sakura gets her water gun out and motions to Karen. Date first, yeah? ]

I have an idea of how to get the water out of the basement.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen's bow forms in her hand.]

What are you thinking?

[sageking]

[ This was rude. He's still in the living room when the bullet hell happened, along with the whathaveyou incoming of this shit.

So you know he'll summon more holy swords in a constant stream in order to stop the oncoming butterflies. And then...just also pelt the walls and probably the bullets, thereby tearing through them (don't ask he's just got a lot of weapons out now) with a constant stream of holy swords to see if he could help narrow down the source here. ]

[respring]

If you can get me down there, I can try to funnel the water out of here, with a portal.

[ remember the Imaginary Number Sea

She's ducking and swerving to miss the bullets and butterflies, but to demonstrate her point, she opens a smaller portal to the void that swallows up one of the incoming bullets--and then she closes it, the bullet gone. ]

[eyeforai]

[So while you guys discuss things, you might notice something; namely, that the shots coming from around the room have ceased when Gil started blocking the bullets and sending his swords into the wall. However, it's not quiet by any means, because soon after the bullets stop coming, they'll hear the sound of an explosion -- underneath their feet, that is. The already weakened foundation of the floor gives way quickly, widening the hole made by Gil nigh-instantaneously.

Think fast, or you might just be going for an impromptu swim.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen GRABS SAKURA AND JUMPS in no particular direction, and ends up falling into the now-bigger hole. She hoists Sakura up over her head to try to be the only one who lands in Lake Miasma.]

Apparently I can!

[sageking]

[ Gilgamesh didn't fall. If anything, he's levitating, and reached to grab a hold of Karen before she fell into lake miasma.

And his patience ran thin.

Golden portals began to open all over the room and started to blast lances and spears through the walls, tearing a few down. He had no idea where in the fuck Date was, but going into the basement to fight like two other people without knowing where the third was would be sheer madness.

In the meanwhile, let's get summon some light here. He'll make it come forth by moving a finger in an 'L' shape to see more down into the basement other than Water and butterflies which were being pelted with holy swords. ]

[respring]

[ That sure just happened! And a Karen-adjacent person sure just did save her from taking fall damage for the second time now!

Sakura squeaks a little but will just, um, do whatever causes less trouble? Grab onto a ledge or something. This is very precarious, if Karen is holding her and then Gil is holding Karen........... ]

[noneforall]

[Ah. Well, it's quite accommodating of them to come take a dip all in a nice, orderly chain -- because now that the airhole in the floor is considerably wider and now that Gilgamesh is really starting to go to town on the room above (and by proxy Date, may he hopefully not rest in pieces just yet)... There's no time like the present for the water itself to finally get moving.

(It is possible, in the seconds before the onslaught, for Gilgamesh to spot a couple of things with his rays of light: one, a lonely jacuzzi sitting on the basement-slash-sea floor. Waiting. Watching. Two, the telltale green glow a bit further in, not enough to resolve itself into any kind of shape but fairly recognizable given all they've seen of Subete's barrier magic.)

The next moment, several towering geysers of water shoot out of the whirling surface below -- all of them aiming to swallow up the three still bobbing or floating above. Some of them will be scalding, and some freezing, and at least one of them will actually solidify into a column of ice between the surface of the water and the ceiling. It may well behoove them not to get caught in these... because the currents in them are ridiculous and nonsensical and designed to drag any prey right down to the bottom.]
