Tropers: The Series

Harper has pulled out their map and is looking at it. "Right, so it looks like right in the midst of the noodles there's an abandoned warehouse. Big gray rectangle, has the words 'Abandoned Warehouse' on it. You can't miss it."

Guy waits in the bearded man car looking around the run-down buildings and numbers of homeless people trying to live off the streets before stopping at Den Danny Dinner.

Tory immediately books it when the impromptu archery shenanigans occurred — Something Katrina almost did... Before getting shot herself. An "OOF" sound can be heard nearby.

On the bottom of the screen, a text saying ⌈D O L L H O U S E⌋ can be seen.

..Oddly enough, Kat's still unconscious.

Libre turns around after hearing the noise, abandoning whatever trash can he was seeking, and finding Katrina unconsious.

"Kat? Kat!? Are you okay!?"

After some time, Katrina gains some consciousness. "..owwww.."

Tory peeks out from their hiding spot, before noticing their hurt friend. "Kat?! Are you alright?"

"..don't worry Tory, Libre, I'm alright."

"Wait, if you're okay, where's your Stand?"

Welllll....

Behind — or, rather, above, it's not particularly clear — Katrina, a black stand with pink cracks all over is standing there. To quote Patrick Star, "It's just standing there, MENACINGLY!"

Tilly decides to see what other shapes her barrier could be formed in. First was a sphere, then she manages to turn it into a cube. And then a dome. That was it.

Meanwhile, at a coffee shop that has nothing to do with the rest of the plot, the enigmatic, erratic, and ecstatic Jamius "Jimbo" Bodevkha, the literally soft guy who wishes he could handstand, is trying to get free WiFi.

"Oh, confound this! The internet is overrated! I can just buy nuclear weapons at the Walmart down the street for sixty-five bitcoin!"

Scientists have speculated for years that Jimbo might be completely insane.

"So anyway, who wants to go to the abandoned warehouse and test out our Stands? It should be... that way." Harper points straight down. "No, wait, that way." They point up and to the left. "No wait..." This goes on for a while.

Tilly decides to follow them, wanting to learn more about her stand's capabilities.

Speaking of standing, that is what Jimbo is now doing as he investigates his surroundings, that is, the coffee shop that previously didn't exist.

"Wait, where am I?"

A little while later, Harper and Harper stride (well, bounce, more accurately) confidently into the previously nonexistent coffee shop.

"Say, this doesn't look much like a warehouse."

"Come to think of it, it's a coffee shop. Maybe we shouldn't have taken that turn at the corner of Fifth and Platypus."

Harper goes up to Jimbo. "Excuse me, we're looking for an abandoned warehouse? Light gray, rectangular, says the words 'Abandoned Warehouse' on it? You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?"

Bob, having followed the seals, is glancing around, looking for a warehouse.

"You'd think a bigass building like a warehouse wouldn't be this hard to find."

"... I can't decide what part of this is more confusing," Sylvi mutters to itself as it enters the abandoned warehouse that's apparently actually a not-abandoned coffee shop.

Drink a coffee, maybe that'll help.

"Where did that new dude (referring to Guy) go, huh?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he just hopped in some stranger's car a while back."

Guy opens the car door and walks before turning the bearded man and, says "Stay here ok" the beard man nod back to him, getting out of the car and into Den Danny Dinner, guy walks on the road before turning to his old business, Guy walks in remembering his times in here before hearing someone coming, Guy summons his stand to battle and walks to the noise of walking.

(Chey and her stand join the others.)
"I had Ford stay home with the baby. Soooo, who else are we waiting for?"

"I can't fucking wait to see what Robot Stevie Nicks does... maybe she'll give the real name and band of the song she's based on, I dunno"

Harper took another look at the map, then looked out the window before turning back to the other Tropers.

"Alright. As you can all see, this is not the abandoned warehouse. This is, if I am not mistaken, a coffee shop. It is also not on my map, but my map just shows a bunch of noodles so that's probably not too bad of a sign. Now, everyone look out the window. Do you see anything that you recognize? It's very important that we figure out where we are before we set out for the warehouse again."

Sylvi shrugs. "I don't know where shit is around here." It sips some coffee.

Knife looks out the window as they down a glass of cold brew. "Hmmm...hey, this place's familiar. I know where we are; we're in the demolished warehouse district. It's where they blew up all the warehouses for shits and giggles, and then blew up the remains for even more shits and giggles. There should be an abandoned warehouse a few blocks away."

"Hey, listen to this!"

Libre blows the weirdly-shaped trumpet, making a crazy airhorn noise.

"Well, let's get going, then." Harper and Harper head towards the door with their hot cocoas, which they presumably bought with, I don't know, money or something.
