TVTropes Skyscraper

Go To

Decided to start my first forum game. Basically, as I was from Nationstates originally, I decided to bring a NS forum game to here. Though the whole skyscraper game first started in xkcd and was brought to NS by someone else.

Anyway, going to the main point, basically, you have to post one floor per post. You then have to write what the floor is like. You can write any stuff about the floor, whether they are generic or imaginative, or realistic or unrealistic. Whatever you want to write and have in your mind. I'll start with the first floor. The only two rules are that you should not destroy the skyscraper and you should match the floor number with post number.

Floor 1

A lobby for the Tvtropes Skyscraper. It is filled with many tropers visiting the skyscraper, as well as trope-filled in general. It also has many advertisements for Trope Co.

Now has an access to the Basement.

Floor 2051: The TvTropes Skyscraper is a marvel of engineering. With the various designs, sizes, and materials used to create these floors, it's a miracle it's structurally sound. In fact, it's almost impossible, but only almost. To make up for the karmic imbalance of the other floors, Floor 2051 was made the karmic scapegoat. You know that saying? "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"? Well, on this floor, everything is going wrong all the time. The feng shui is all kinds of fucked up. Also, if you visit, the bad luck will cling to you like a bad smell. Maybe just skip this one.

Floor 2054: This floor is a long, dark hallway. It has chipped beige walls, a dirty wooden flooring. The only light sources are several candles on a lone nightstand right next to the elevator. A lighter is there, too. All objects on that nightstand regenerate after being taken off, after a few hours. Visitors must travel the full distance of the hallway, which has been recorded to be somewhere between 1-3 miles long. If the visitor's candle goes out, they'll be repeatedly attacked by something in the darkness until they either die, relight the candle, or make it to the other side with the elevator to Floor 2055. Thankfully, the candles provided at the beginning are quite long-lasting, and, as long as you keep a brisk pace, you can likely get to the other side before it runs out.

Floor 2056: This floor is interesting. This floor consists of a river and its two grassy banks. The entrance is on one side of the river, and the exit on the other. Once you enter, the only way to leave is by crossing the river. This, fortunately is simple matter. You see, there's an old farmer on the riverbank, who needs to cross with his fox, his chicken, and a bag of grains. There's also another farmer there, who needs to cross with his vegan fox and fox-eating chicken. There are three boats docked by the river, one belonging to man who always tells the truth, one to a man who always lies, and one belonging to a man who may freely choose to lie or tell the truth as he pleases. Only one of the boats is seaworthy (or river-worthy I suppose), but you do not know which one.

On a related note, the police are here. They're investigating the theft of a rare fish, which they believe is hidden on one of five boats currently docked on the five docks on the other side of the river. They know that the boats belong to men of different nationalities, who drink different drinks and smoke different cigars, and who paint the interiors of their boats different colors and keep different pets. They have gathered scattered evidence for which boat belongs to which man, and if you help them out, you might be able to use the culprits boat when they're not looking.

By the way, did I mention the river is infested by sharks? Indeed, from the very moment you set sail, you will be stalked by a ferocious shark, meaning you will only be able to visit each of the riversides docks once, as the shark will ambush you if you visit a dock more than once. Fortunately the sharks are quite dumb, and won't recognize you if you use different boats. Better be quick too, because a trolley is barreling towards the riverbank, and the only way to stop it from killing everyone is to throw this fat guy who was totally here the whole time in front of it.

Floor 2058: Maybe skip this one. It's not really, like, cursed or anything, it's just that when the TVTropes Skyscraper transforms I mean converts into a giant robot, this is where the head pops out. Because of this, navigating the floor is pretty inconvenient.

FLOOR 2060 - This is a residential floor, and a particularly fancy one at that. It is mostly characterised by its maze of hallways and rooms, collectively about the size of Kingston. The elevator & staircase leading to this floor take visitors to a parlor. Said parlor usually has at least four or five of the floor's residents talking amongst themselves at any given moment, and one can conveniently find a map of the floor every kilometre or so.

As for the sprawl of hallways and rooms from earlier, they all have the same wooden floors and more or less the same wallpapernote . There are all sorts of expensive-looking things here, as well as more mundane things. There are paintings of a wide variety of topics, and books of all kinds and in many languages. The entire floor has a population of roughly 5 to 6 thousand, fluctuating every now and again.

Inexplicably, someone who either lives or is visiting the floor is murdered once every few monthsnote  apart. The detective from Floor 1952 comes here regularly. Hope ya like murder mysteries.

Floor 2062: Whoever it was that designed this floor seems to have missed the "Do not damage the structural integrity of the skyscraper" thing, because this floor consists of a single 2-meter-ish tall wooden beam connecting the floors above and below at not quite a right angle. The stairs and elevator don't even have proper doors. Also, Floor 2061 is kinda leaking glue through the roof/floor? We should probably worry about that.

Floor 2063: This floor's not that interesting. It consists of a circular area of grass with some paved sections near some tables and benches. The weather's fair, but there's a gazebo in case it rains. The only interesting part of it is that the floor's a speed bump. To keep the skyscraper safe from the accelerating elevators, they're forced to come to complete stops at certain floors and stay there for like 5-60 mins, and this is one of them.

Floor 2065 is nothing more than a portal to The Backrooms. There seems to be a mysterious floor inbetween 2064 and 2066, but the stairs and the elevator lead to the backrooms instead. Presumably, the Negative Space Wedgie on floor 2036 had something to do with it. The exit's permanent, but good luck finding it within a human timespan if you enter the backrooms through any method than this floor.

Floor 2068 is known as "The Enchanted Library", and this floor is an opulent space with cathedral-like ceilings, mahogany bookshelves, and a grand circular reading area. It features enchanted books that can project holographic images or play audio, and a section dedicated to magical artifacts. The library also features arched windows with stunning city views and mystical creatures. The space is perfect for reading, studying, or relaxing, making it an ideal place to enjoy literature.

Floor 2069: "I own this f*cking floor, b*tches!" - Lilith, probably.

In this floor, there is an arcade, lots of gaming consoles, and a very large gaming PC, complete with a monitor and keyboard. And a Spencer's too.

Lilith has a set of rules, though, so if you break them, you'll be barred from entering the floor.

Floor 2070: Tell me, do you enjoy eggs? Well, Floor 2070 agrees! It was designed to be the ultimate in egg-based restaurants, a market which you'd be surprised by how crowded it is (It's not that crowded, but more than you'd expect).

Offering every single dish in the world that could be described as "mostly egg", made from any egg you could desire, from quail to ostrich and even further beyond! They also had caviar, since that's also eggs. There're also bug eggs, if that interests anyone. The ultimate egg-based restaurant!

...You may have noticed the past tense I've used. Indeed, this restaurant has been shut down. You can still visit, but the door to the restaurant itself has been sealed off and is under police surveillance. Turns out they were hunting rare birds for their eggs, stealing fossil eggs to grind down for their food, and running an illegal organ harvesting ring to collect human egg cells. Their omelets may be sorely missed, but good riddance I say.

It's true, although this one guy claims that we don't actually have the ship of Theseus, as all the original parts were replaced. He also claims that because he collected all the original parts and assembled them into his own ship, he has the real ship of Theseus. Don't worry though, we got the best philosophers money could buy, and I'm sure they'll figure out which one of us have the real ship soon enough.

Floor 2075 is different for anyone who enters, but the only constant (other than a door to Floor 2076) is that it's always disappointing. You'll never get what you want out of this floor, and nothing particularly useful either. I suggest not even bothering to try to reach this floor.
