(Quest Suggestions) SongsTress Quest Episode 16 - All The World's A Stage!
🕑 Added 2025-09-07 19:49:52 +0000 UTC(Sorry this one's a bit late folks - life's being a bit hectic and getting in the way of stuff I can't properly schedule in advance!)
The Rose Building is no more. But the Rose Stadium is going to shine in its place, led to glory by your magnificent guidance! The ultimate concert hall, a blooming flower, petals arrayed around a central stage - your central stage. The seating will hold dozens, hundreds, thousands of screaming fans, all of them desperate for just a small glimpse of you. They'll never leave, eternally fighting amongst each other for better views, closer chairs, louder acoustics... Oh yes, this will be the center of your power~
And what the hey. You couldn't decide between an open roof or a closed stadium, so you picked both. The petals can open or close at your command, creating either a sealed bulb-like dome, or a beautiful flower of a concert that can be heard across the entire city!
Your lair is magnificent. And it's not done growing yet. Feed it enough power, and eventually you'll consume the entire city - from Ruby Canyon to Ruby Concert! Oh, it sends shivers down your spine just to think of it! First this stadium. Then the city. Then the world!
Or maybe the shivers are because your fashion butterfly just ripped off your dress. "H-hey!"
"Working here, Miztrezz!"
Maybe making her a fashion designer was giving her a little too much will. Hmph. Oh well - you focus on your Lair some more as she works around you. It's magnificent, yes, but it's hardly done. Your glowing golden power has reached the ground level, converting the building entirely... But you haven't made up your mind about what's happening inside it yet, have you?
Plenty of people were caught inside your lair as it blossomed all around them. They're trying to escape even now. You can probably put a stop to that, but how? Traps? Minions? Song? How about specific people? If you want to go after anyone in particular, that's going to take some divided concentration...
"Aha! Mangnifique!"
Huh? You look down, just as your designer finishes weaving a new dress around you. It's... it's gorgeous. Shimmering silver, wrapped around your every curve, glittering, glamorous. You can barely take your eyes off it. This thing will make you the center of everyone's attention, so long as they can see you.
Though...
"Hey, this thing is totally transparent if the light shines on it!"
"Yez, Miztrezz, that iz ze point."
Ah. Oh, right, duh. Your grin widens as you realize the truth: You're unstoppable now.
[You've gained: All Out Attack Dress! You're showing off every good you've got - you gain a big boost to your Attacks, but have absolutely no defense!]
Right. Now. Your Lair hasn't yet cooled. How would you like to develop it? Are you focused on expansion? Defense? Attack? Are you laying traps or welcome mats? Are you growing bigger, or hunkering down? How are you handling the people trapped in your halls, as reality twists to your command...?
(This one's up to you guys! You've picked the form of your Lair, now you can choose where to put your focus! Plenty of room to be creative here - enjoy the opportunity! As usual, suggestions will be put to the vote on Wednesday.)

Make it as alluring as possible and defe3nsive. Lure people in with your voice playing on speakers and set up the lair itself as filled with as many anti escape stuff as possible. For the people inside-why settle on one thing? Have them become generic fans that warp into whatever genre you are singing for. Rock results in punks. Country cowgirls. Opera noblewomen. Etc.

Spread your song! I say we go all in on offense and expansion. Some adoring fans of course, but also some merch sellers armed with t shirt cannons and stalls!
