TERMINAL X
Terminal X, the mystery that it is, still holds much of the same aesthetic as the rest of the airport. It's a long, long hallway walkway that's flanked on one side by floor to ceiling windows. A beautiful, sunny day shines in and keeps the terminal well-lit until it's time for a gorgeous sunset and then a wondrous starry night. It's better maintained than the lower floors of the main airport, though it's also something of a maze. As you wander, it feels like the hallways don't map out the way that you remember from yesterday. It can be hard to find old places you visited before, and surprisingly easy to see new locations pop up seemingly out of thin air. Where did that come from? It's here that the notion that airports are a liminal space really feels true. It's a place of transition, and oh boy does it transition. There are so many moving, living, breathing parts.
Enjoy your stay!
Enjoy your stay!
Capsule Hotel
Surely you must be looking for a place to rest your head, what with being murdered and all. The very first amenity that you’ll find is a Capsule Hotel that boasts the incredible price of Free.99. Yes, that’s right, it’s free! It’s also so very easy to find, clearly labeled and welcoming to any desperate travelers who need some shut-eye. You can squeeze into one of the pods that are available, and oh boy, do I mean squeeze. Hope you’re not claustrophobic! Or maybe you enjoy the feeling of going back into the womb? (Freak.) There are communal areas here such as large bathrooms, well-maintained showers, and even a lounge area.
Complimentary pajamas and toiletries are provided. Isn’t that sweet? Hope you can get nicely settled in here during your stay.
Bave & Duster's
If you’re looking for sensory overload, wildly overstimulating sounds, and a million different things competing for your attention, you’ve come to the right place! The arcade has every type of game that you could be looking for: shooters, racing games, rhythm games complete with dance pads, claw machines, and even an area for slot machines and poker tables for those of you looking for a more mature spin on your leisure. And what do you know? Only about 50% of these machines are rigged! How do you like those odds?
Here, you’ll find a gachapon machine that seems to fulfill a familiar purpose: delivering a different curse to you each week via sponsorships. Don’t forget to collect, it seems to refresh every Monday!
Serendipity Spa
Wash off all that travel grime in a clean, soothing spa that contains all the most luxurious amenities. Massage tables, saunas, aromatherapy rooms, and sound baths all await you. Rows of fine beauty products line the walls, ready to help you pamper yourself from head to toe. Rest up and let all the stress melt away as you lay back and listen to the gentle sounds of birdsong on audiotape. You deserve it.
Though you may want to be careful… As cozy as this place is to relax, if you shut your eyes for a little bit too long, you might find yourself drifting off to sleep… and when you awake, the face that you see in the mirror might be a little… different? Anyone who snoozes in the spa gets granted a complimentary makeover! How good is the makeover? Well, that depends. Sometimes you get a full beat that would make a drag queen envious, or perhaps you might just find some clown face paint caked on your cheeks. Either way, it’s free! You’re welcome.
Travel Agency Kiosk
Right across from baggage claim, there is a large counter that displays the services of a boutique Travel Agency. Assorted photos of different locations, some familiar such as previous murdergame sites, some new and utterly foreign, line its walls. There are even a few handy little travel brochures that detail the luxuries of each location. And yet it seems... utterly unstaffed? The lights are on and the computers run, but it seems everything is protected by a password. The logged in user is ▒▒o▒▒c▒▒.
Do let the mods know if you’re trying to log in...
Food Court
Did you think that you’d starve? Silly travelers, we know exactly what you crave. Juice. Cheese. Hawt dawg.
Yes, that’s right, the fine array of dining establishments at the food court includes: Jamba Juice, whatever a Jamba is. Uncle Tetsu’s for some light and fluffy cheesecakes with varying flavors aside from cheese, just to shake things up a little. And of course, the most important culinary masterpiece of all time: Hot Dog on a Stick where they actually serve corn dogs and lemonade. Surely this’ll be enough to get you by. Don’t be greedy!
… Or if you are, there is a side door to a test kitchen space. The actual appliances vary in age and efficiency, but they all seem to work even if you might need to kick the oven to get it to warm up to the right temperature. There’s a stock room of a few ingredients, though they aren’t very fresh or plentiful at the moment, but beggars really can’t be choosers. Or else you can go back to enjoying your sticky dog and juice, you peasant.
Cloud Nine Suites
You might not even really be looking for this location, really, but you find it completely by accident. Tucked away in a far, far corner of the terminal, completely lacking signage or even any indicator of what it might be, you might waltz right into a... hotel lobby? Whoa. A proper hotel lobby? None of that squished, sardine feeling here! There’s actual rooms with beds and closets! Why was it hidden all the way out here? Who designed this place? They must have a sick sense of humor and wanted you to get stuck in the capsule pod first or something. Regardless, you’ll be rewarded for your adventuring and be able to claim a room, any room, to yourself. In fact, you can still wander into rooms that someone else is still using because the key cards can be encoded over each other. Might want to be careful! Especially since, sometimes, once you leave and you try to find the place again, it might take you a whole hour to locate it. What kind of ghost hotel is this?
Gate Entrances
Each week, a new gate will appear with an assortment of different destinations. You leave the boarding area and head through the tunnel that would normally deposit you out onto a plane, but it seems like you get to skip the hours-long travel time! Instead, as soon as you exit the tunnel, you will be dropped into one of the other locations made available via the travel agency seemingly booking the wrong location each time. Oh well, at least you get a chance to see the world! Every world, even.
WEEK 1 DESTINATIONS
Bridgertona regency era home of a well-to-do family, then it is probably here. Though you may want to be careful; occasionally the mood changes, lights flickering out, a storm rattling at the windows, and echoing, mischievous laughter resonating through the halls. A mansion this old must’ve seen quite a few deaths, you know. Hopefully the next won’t be yours. Even if a wardrobe suddenly falls or a chandelier catches aflame, everything resets itself so quickly. Perhaps it’s just a little ghost playing a trick on you.
