The Proposed Timeline for EMPLOYEE's

I decided to create a timeline of important events that happened in the world of EMPLOYEE, from the beginning of time to the latest event related to the current 2023’s #dungeon23 which I changed it to #Office23, which also being postponed since last March (sorry about that).

This timeline is based and inspired by three ultra-short play-tests that I did with my friends at the office during our free time. They only cover 20% of the timeline. The other 80% is based on my own imagination and the foundations that I set for #Office23. You can treat this timeline as canon or not - it’s up to you.

"Dear My Daughter,

If you're listening to this, it means I couldn't make it out of this place. I'm trapped in this godforsaken building, surrounded by creatures I never thought possible. They're unlike anything I've ever seen before. I've been studying them for a while, trying to understand their behavior, but they're so...alien.

The Receptionist

Art generated by Freeway ML

Background

The Receptionist is one of many creature that might be encountered by players while exploring the vast megastructure on Office23. They are quiet, slick and love the element of surprise when engaging their prey. While The Receptionist always can be seen standing behind their own dedicated desk or table, sometimes they also take a walk to other places. With their keen eyes, sensitive hearing, long nails and remarkable speed, The Receptionist might be considered as one of deadly creature inside the Office23.

Characteristic

Physical appearance: The majority of the Receptionists are having slim bodies, long legs, long hair, boney fingers, and of course not forget to mention a full length ear-to-ear smile, showing rows of their sharp teeths. They stood perfectly straight - no slouching, a perfect form of standing. When they sit down behind their own dedicated desk, they'll sit properly and as perfect as they could. Waiting for someone to come through the door and walks casualy to the their table. Even though the majority of Receptionist was taking a form of human with female features (long slender body, long legs, nails, long hairs, etc.), some other had a bulky body, muscular arms, short hairs, etc.

Movement: The Receptionist is a creature that adapting with where they situated. They could move as fast as they can, or even move slower than a MucusGastropod. They had powerful legs, that could help them jump as high as the ceiling, performing a perfect landing, and if needed pulling a dash and even a deadly kick. Thanks to slender features of their body, The Receptionist could performing a magnifique acrobatic actions such as triple frontflip to double cartwheels to tiger spring. Due to regulation of the Office23, all Receptionist need to wear company-issued shoes - comfortable to wear, but producing a loud sound when they walk.

Social: The Receptionist rarely seen in group. They are an individualist that love to walks to wherever they want, and return to their desk at particular set of time. The Insurer sometimes lingers near them, but they could shove them away with their long, sharp nails.

Habitat

Many Receptionist will linger around the place where they "belong" to work on. Either standing or roaming around the room or even a complex of area, they won't be roaming around to another company and staying on someone receptionist' desk. The easiest way to know if a place has a Receptionist or not, is by looking at the Receptionist desk. A Receptionist love to put their belonging on the desk, like marking a territory. A stick, a book, a doll, a pencil, what ever it is, if there is a thing on the desk of Receptionist, then the place have A Receptionist.

A Receptionist also a well ordered creature. So if someone took a thing from their desk, or something from the area that they guarded, they'll know and hunt them down.

#OFFICE23 - 002 TRIANGLE ROOM & 003 LV.1 PRAYING ROOM

002 TRIANGLE ROOM

This room is just a square meeting room, split into two diagonally, where the wall that separate them had a mirror that literally connect the rooms. The idea was, when PCs get an encounter 1-3, they could try to break the mirror and exit from the other room. When a room triggered the trap, the other won't. It might happen IF there's two party came in and rolled badly at the same time.

Another way to solve trap was using the thermostat (C). Either using STR Check (break it) or INT check (reroute the wire), the PC will be save and sound.

The water on the dining cart could be drink.

003 LV.1 PRAYING ROOM

I intended to make this room as a save game room or a checkpoint. I don't have a heart when someone already took a long adventure, and when they died, they have to start all over again. This room also serve as a healing room for the party.

Image a place that so quiet and so calm, where you can cross your leg and meditate for a while. An oasis between the dried sahara indeed.

#OFFICE23 - 001 THE GRAND LOBBY

 

This room will be the first room everyone will enter when they play this megadungeon for the first time. The Referee could pick or roll a d12 on "what happen when the team entering this room for the first time?".

There are three creatures that could be exist when the PCs enter the room: The Insurer, The Receptionist or The Janitor. The Insurer and The Receptionist had their possibilities of being hostile towards PCs, but for The Janitor, they'll be forever calm - but only at this first room encounter.

In order to progress further, PCs need to open the door that located behind the Receptionist's Desk (A) which is locked. The key to unlock the door could be found either searching on the Receptionist's Desk (A) OR search throughly at the one of seats (B). The seats however could be intrepreted / imagined as a medium sized sofa or several high armchairs.

There's only ONE room adjacent with this room.

Lore : Office23

Prologue

In the year 2022, the Moons - Helen & Romeo - once again clashed after thousands of years has passed under the night skies of Nüearth. The sea rises, lands submerges, the faunas behaved weirdly, and some creatures came out from their hidings at last. It's no longer be any ordinary day at Nüearth : no more mundane commute, no fancy lunch meetings, no stealing some puff of smoke at the rooftops, no more buying snacks in the middle of the night at a konbinistore. All creatures walks among the humans on the top crust of the Nüearth. It will be a brand new life.

Part 1: The Building

January 4th 2023 A.C. - four day after the clash of Helen & Romeo, a mega earthquake happens all over Nüearth. Casualties and damages couldn't be avoided, economy plummeted to the ground, chaos happens both on the streets and inside houses. All the three nations suffers from the disasters that happens only for five minutes but delivers a handful of power. Some said it was the Wrath of The Kame-kami. Some said it was the Solomon's Right works. Some were too tired and too hungry to think about the conspiracies.

At the Utara Nation, a huge cracks opened directly at the Business District, claiming hundreds to thousands of offices, firms and small joint ventures as their casualties. As trying to divide the area into two, the cracks left untouched by the Utara Nation's Ministry of Defence - leaving a big gap of unknown darkness lurks beneath it.

On the next day, a megastructure erected at the middle section of Utara Nation's Business District - right at the middle of the gap. Supported by a towering grounds from the darkness below, the structure stood proudly. No one claims seeing any works of constructions or whatsoever for the building. The words spread fast like a bullet - a building stood at the middle of the chasm, covered with windows and reflectives. It has twelve floors, and basement would be impossible with that kind of land support. At the top of the structure, a visible neon sign shine bright, brighter than any company logos all across the district. Its read "Office23".

Part 2: The Rumours

Seeing this opportunity, Utara Nation's Ministry of Transportation decided to establish a bridge that connecting the divided land. By utilizing the towering grounds that supports the megastructure, both lands now connected - while the megastructure itself acting like a rest area for those who walks to and fro the Business District.

At first, people amazed by its appearance and how it appeared by night. When it shined by the sun above, the exterior reflects it into a glimmering lights. When the night appeared, the neon lights from surrounded buildings reflected beautifully - flickering, waiving and colorful. Making it like the building was moving by itself, moving independently floor by floor, side by side. Almost like a peristaltic movement.

But under the glimmering mirror at the exterior, many claims upleasant things came from the structure. Some said they smelled an awful pungent odor creeping from inside. Some said they heard rustlings and banging and some even claims they heard screams and growls from inside the building. No one ever saw a person or a creature ever enter the building - as if the building itself was locked shut. Like barricading themselves for unwanted visitors.

Part 3: Shields

Utara Nation's Ministry of Defence took some action regarding this megastructure. After receiving a lot of claims from the civilians which mainly catagorized as "disturbance", a small team was dispatched to investigate the inside of the building.

Led by Col. Yoosuf "Shields" Syndock, a cleanse team of twelve enter the building on February 10th 2023 A.C.. Initiated as "Search and Investigate" mission, the team were made of a number of scientists along with Shields and his teams. The main tasks were:

- Eradicate the foul smells that came from inside the building;
- mitigate the source of the bangings and rustlings from inside the building;
- investigate, mitigate (and if necessary help) the source of the screams and growls from inside the building.

The mission was intended to be an in-and-out mission that only last less than twelve hours, with or without fulfill all three tasks above. Fourty eight hours has later, Shields and his team hasn't came back yet. Three days later, they were considered as missing in action, and the Ministry of Defence dispatched a rescue team to retrieve Shields and teammates. This rescue team was also considered missing in  action after three days later. In total, The Ministry dispatched three rescue team, but none of them were able pull it out.

On March 12th 2023 A.C., Shields was found outside the Office23 by a civilian while doing their early commute. They claimed that they found Shields lies on the ground, faced-down and not moving. His armor covered with scratches, scrapes, dents, slimes, chunk of meats and bloods. When ER Responds Team arrived and making some procedural actions to him, they found out the time of death was five days prior.

Part 4: Evidence

Amazed and confused with this phenomenon, Shields' body was autopsied while his full set of armor was taken to the laboratory of Ministry of Science to be examined thoroughly. Ministry of Defence cleared the permissions and things need to be done, both to Ministry of Science and Shields' family members.

At one point while the researcher observing Sheilds' cadaver, just like being fast forwarded through time, the organs and the body decays rapidly. In a mater of seconds, the fresh cadaver of Shields becomes a stenching lump of rotten meat.

Meanwhile at the Laboratory, the researchers carefully taking samples from Shields' armor as much as they could and conducting several different experiments with it. From the blood samples to the micro-est residue they could find on the scratches and dents. From many experiments they done, only one test that giving them results : blood test.

Alongside with Shields' teammate bloods, the deceased researchers and the rescue teams, they find some anomalies regarding the blood samples. First, the blood itself despite having the same colorization with any other samples, under the microscope the cells were mutated. Second, the mutated cells will become "aggresive" if contacted or stimulied with another different samples of blood (both humans and animals). The result was powerful enough to become an evidence. An evidence that there were another living being, living creature that different from humans and animals that lived inside the building of Office23.

After presenting the results to the Ministry of Defence and also the Federal Magistrate of Nüearth, megastructure Office23 was declared off-limit by the Nation. Civilians was inhibited to enter the premises in under any circumstances. Guards were placed on several possible entry points of the premises, with a permission to cease the trespasser. Night curfew was established around the buildings, not even a hobo was allowed to sleep at their entrance door.

Part 5: The Call

Once a week, a phone rings could be heard from inside the Office23. Always stopped at the third rings. One night, the rings stopped abruptly at the second ones.

The Insurer

Art generated by Freeway ML

 

The Insurer is a creature that PC can encounter when exploring the megaoffice at the early stages of the game. With the excel of speed and persuasion from their past, The Insurer could be a threat for PC when they alerted by them - they'll chase PCs, both individual or in a group, and try to make PC join their insurance company by giving them striking them with briefcase and papercut them with assesment forms.

Habitat

The Insurers lingers and wanders the Grand Lobby area, usually seen alone, maybe two or three of them lingers near seats. Some might also standing near the front door, waiting for someone entered the building as their prey. Some of other Insurer might lurks around the upper floors, trying to seek preys that might need some insurance at their unstable and hazardous workplace. Some were also stays at their own offices, waiting for command from the leader. Sometimes PC could also encounter one of them, strolling on a corridor, seems lost.

Actions

Action	Type	Description
Running Bash	Attack	an Insurer took a run and try to bash you with their boney, sharp shoulder.
Paper Cut	Attack	using their unlimited stack of insurance assessment form stored inside their briefcase, an Insurer could slice and damage PC using the thin side of a paper d6 times per turn.
Briefcase Block	Defence	by using a thick, office-issued briefcase, they repel and cover everything the world throw at them. P.S. It IS a sturdy briefcase.
Shout	Support	producing a loud, disturbing voice that could hurt you and also calls d4 nearby Insurers into current encounter

Characteristic

Physical appearance: many Insurer were a skinny, sick-pale-looking, zombie-ish humanoid creature wearing white shirts and tie and holding briefcase and papers. But some other also have different builds: muscular, fat, well-build. Detoriating by time, their hair was no longer as lush as they be, some of them already lose an eye (or maybe two), dislocated bones and joints on their body, and an absolute stench of a thick load of damp paper inside a damp storage.

Movement: The Insurer walks slow. But when they found their prey, they could move three times faster to approached them. Their advantage was located on their feet - years of waiting and running and chasing potential buyer could train their legs into somewhat magnificent level. Not forgot to mention, a lot of them are skinny. But for Insurer that already lost a leg or both, they can't do nothing except alerting nearby Insurer by shouting whenever they saw prey walking nearby or accidentally step on them.

Social: Insurers love to walks and roams alone. But sometimes you can meet them lurking alongside with fellow Insurer, maybe up to a group of 3 insurers. No longer be able to talk, they communicate to each other with groans and shouts.
