SLEIGH BELLS RING

Those that escape from the theater all seem to come out through the same doors. When they get there, they can see that the theater isn't actually a building. There's only a free-standing set of theater doors on the playground. At the rear side of them is a brick wall.

Those that exit will find they can't re-enter.

None of the humans have seemed to notice the door or them, even those driving by.

Not everyone escapes at the same time. It comes in fits and starts, them filtering of the theater. Some can walk out mostly unharmed, some limp out, some come out supporting each other.

What they find outside is... uncanny. There in the playground is a massive sleigh, but one that looks not-exactly-traditional, with equipment and boosters that look almost like a mix of technology and something magical.

It's been expanded into many carriages, almost like a roller coaster. Harnessed to it are eight massive reindeer, champing slightly at their bits. It appears the people that attacked and created the theater are at least long gone. That means that as people slowly filter out they can check up on each other, provide first aid, and reassure each other.

OOC DETAILS
❅ Status effects: Any injuries or damage that happens to a character will stick when they leave the Multiplex. That means that someone that gets facehugged by a facehugger will have an alien larva problem that may be causing some serious indigestion soon. Anyone that gets Borg-nanited through the neck will start having the nanites take over them. However the myth healing will slow these processes down until they can get to the Pole, and there are magical means at the Pole to help the characters survive this.

❅ First Aid/Other Supplies: The sleigh will have magically anticipated their needs. While it won't have the antivenom for Kaa because only a magical plant that grows at the Pole can cure the bites, it will have plenty of well-stocked general first aid kits. Applying first aid can help the myth healing heal someone more quickly and is important for injured characters that opted out of the myth healing.

❅ Timing: People can bendytime the timing of when their characters have escaped to play in this and "Let's All Go To The Movies" at the same time. People can also intro here late if they need to wrap some things up in the other post first.

❅ Intro: Players can use this post to intro instead if that's their preference. You can just assume your characters had to run from scary things in the theater and either handwave their circumstances, or assume your character found a way out more quickly than others.

[The look is definitely familiar. But hey, Eddie has already seen so much weird shit that a guy dressed up as a superhero doesn't get more than a brief double take. Was he on his way to a convention before he got swept up in here? Is he a legitimate superhero? Not Eddie's business, actually.

Eddie squints at his wound though, doubtful that this guy doesn't need help.]

Right, yeah, I just- there should still be some kind of logic to it, right? Like, I don't know, rules. ...Are you sure you're good?

Apologies, I don't know why I got so stuck on this response.

You mean like, if you say the caster's name backwards, the magic stops?

[ The guy isn't necessarily wrong about magic having rules - and isn't wrong about Tim needing help - but it's hard to quantify the rules when they keep changing. ]

It depends on the individual's magic, power source, external or internal, demonic or otherwise, et cetera et cetera... you wouldn't happen to have a mirror on you? I can stitch myself up.

no worries!! <3

[That response catches Eddie a little off-guard, and he grins. It sounds like dnd.]

Yeah, exactly. Or, you know, if a huge wall appears in the middle of nowhere, a huge wall has vanished from another place.

[Uhhhh. Eddie frowns. As much as he'd love to prod more about this guys apparent experience with actual magic, that last part is too concerning to ignore.]

So you are hurt pretty bad. Look man, I don't have a mirror, and even if I did, that doesn't really sound like a great idea. I can, uh- get you help? Or-

[He winces rather than finish that sentence. Eddie really doesn't want to sew someone up. He knows how to sew clothing, but that is nooooot the same thing.]

[ Truth be told, Tim has DMed a session of a TTRPG to solve a crime. The line between his gaming and reality has already been markable thin. ]

Or doors that lead to seemingly nowhere? Too bad we left the rogue in the tavern.

[ He'd rather joke than agree that he's in bad shape. There's not much to be done; they're waiting to be evac'ed and - and this is the important bit - no one has come to help them.

This whole time, and not a single emergency force has turned up? No one's seen a sleigh and a ragtag bunch of people fleeing a door? Even in Gotham, there'd be sirens by now. Something's wrong, and there's no point in asking for a hospital. ]

A cyborg got me in the neck with some cables. Meaning it stabbed the jack into my neck.

[ His hand reaches up and puts additional pressure on the bandage. It's less painful now. (That's likely a very bad thing, given the Borg.) ]

I stitch people up all the time. It's usually not my own neck, though.
