Something Unexpected

[animusmods]

Characters: characters selected to go into the elevator
Setting: the admin levels
Format: any
Summary: The admin elevator has been left open, its destination preprogrammed. Where is it going to take you?
Warnings: general horror warnings for now

The elevator doesn't announce itself when its doors slide open. There's no alarm, no message to be found about it. It sits open and waits for anyone curious enough to enter. There's a barrier on it that locks out anyone without a collar, and it isn't going to stay long, but aside from that there appears to be no security. There's nothing stopping someone--or multiple someones--from climbing into the elevator and going down.

Where's it going? Who knows.

Hub Area
A lounge area with sofas and chairs. It's large enough to hold the entire group, constructed similarly to the dorm rooms, and is connected to five doors.

Door One
???

Door Two
???

Door Three
???

Door Four
???

Door Five
???

COMBAT ROLL CALL/split into groups?

[warriorscribe]

*As stated earlier, it was best for every group to have at least one person capable of combat. Well...*

...We should determine how many people here can fight well. I have battle experience.

*He walks over to one of the couches and rests a hand on its armrest.* Anyone else who does, come here. We can determine groups once we know what we can do.

[seekinganswers]

I... kind of do.

[She glances at Felix who is still being a silent protagonist and sticking close to Sheba according to his mun before walking over to Enoch.]

I've been in a lot of battles, and I can hold my own when I really need to. I'm better at spellcasting than hand-to-hand fighting, though - MUCH better.

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu doesn't hesitate to come up as well, Orb of Sight still in his left hand as he approaches the couch. Even so, the katana hanging from his belt probably said enough for what he specified in.]

I have magic through my Persona, as well--healing and elemental. [Yeah, he likely isn't going to switch from Izanagi.]

[colorfulbrilliance]

[Meiling will walk over and stand beside him with a worried expression]

I can fight as well....But I'll go with who ever.

[ghostytrainer]

[John looks a little hesitant. While he did do a little bit of fighting on his own back in SBURB, that was over two years ago and he hasn't been in a fight since. On top of that: he doesn't have any of his hammers.]

I don't have a whole lot of experience myself, but my Pokemon have tons of battle experience. Does that count?

[warriorscribe]

Of course. They're with you, after all.

*It was hard to tell just how powerful they'd be, but...this was at least something. If he said they could fight, he'd take it.*

[sageprincess]

[And Zelda follows suit.]

I possess magic that can be used in either a combat or supporting capacity. If such things are cut off from us, however, I can fight hand-to-hand if need be.

[uzuki]

I have experience. I can use ethers, and I have my MWS.

[She indicates the large bashing weapon on her arm]

So I have long and short ranges.

[pushedaround]

I'm good with monsters? Does that ... help?

[ Hey, might as well try to be helpful while they face their doom. Yup. ]

[warriorscribe]

Good with them in what way?

*Enoch's tone was soft as always, a bit more so here. This troll seemed really nervous, after all...*

[hystericull]

[While usually keeping to himself, strength in numbers was probably a good strategy in situations where they could swiftly be outnumbered.]

I get my motherfuckin' jollies off killin' shit. I ain't got no qualms with spreading the mirthful deathsplatters.

[He grinned at that, mouth sharp and full of teeth.]

[warriorscribe]

*Oh...okay. He much prefers his human former roommate Gamzee...this one's kind of unsettling.*

As long as you're killing the monsters that will try to kill us and not the rest of us...

Re: COMBAT ROLL CALL/split into groups?

[no_longer_a_king]

The blade is what I am best with.

[ooc: made an OOC thread to figure this out so we can handwave group picking. ^^;]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Stepping forward, the elf is clearly armed. He never left his room unless his was armed. He's short a weapon but when he has two blades and a bow, he can do without his Rohirrim sword.]

I've my bow, knives and several centuries of combat experience.

[neverbeamemory]

[Look at them, trying to be all organized.

Unfortunately for Sephiroth, recent events have done nothing more than reinforce his already stern belief that more=more hassle. Ghost Watching, prime example. The only person he might have picked to take with him, for heals if nothing else, isn't here.

Besides, anything of interest to his other objective, he didn't think anyone else in this little group was privy to.

He's not about to take that chance again. Masamune in hand Sephiroth resolves not to even drag his gaze across the congregated group before heading for one of the doorways alone. He'd take his chances, follow his instincts since only they served him right.]

[warriorscribe]

Sephiroth, wait.

*Yeah, he doesn't like the idea of putting anyone in the same group as him, but in the end? Someone's going to go for that door too.*

...Eventually a group for that door will be formed as well. Would you at least wait for them? If you go on alone, know you will be followed.

[justabignobody]

[That guy, huh...?

Riku certainly remembers him from the failed riot in the begin of december... and him anywhere need the admins is probably bad news... given the kinds of backlashes that can follow to that.

He waits a moment before he follows after him to whatever door he chooses - it is probably for the best if there is at very least one person with common sense in each group.]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku just nodded at Enoch, the man knew he could fight. Suzaku had his gun on him, he just worried he'd be a danger to the others in the group.

He stared at the doors again, letting the others talk and organise around him.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Ryoji steps forward, trying to look determined despite his pale, wiry frame.

"I can fight. I know I don't look it, but I can."

I SWEAR I MISS EVERYTHING BY SLEEPING

[cullscuttlefish]

Count me in. I'm able to fight and more than willing.

[evokingfool]

[Minato waits for a moment, before speaking up.]

I can fight with my sword.

[Which is why he's carrying his sword around, even on "safe" floors. Minato unsheathed his evoker, showing the gun to everyone.]

I use this to summon my Personas. With them, I can provide healing, support in the form of temporary enhancements and offense.

Mini Mingle

[ghostytrainer]

[So we pushed some buttons and survived the first set of doors. Now it's just a matter of waiting for all five groups to meet back up. Hopefully in one piece..]

[What next?]

[Team Protag wins for best exit. Can't top this swag, srry guys.]

For Yu

[sageprincess]

[What next? Well, it is not as though they can do a whole lot for the groups still exploring their respective rooms. Most of the doors are locked, and Zelda in particular lacks any kind of ability that would provide them assistance, barring going in herself. And she's not so foolish to attempt that alone.

Really, there's not much to do but sit and wait and let the events of the day sink in... though, thinking about it, there's probably something she should acknowledge first.

After taking a steeling breath, she approaches the grey-haired boy that whisked their group so quickly away from danger, wherever he may sit or stand.]

... I suppose we are even, now.

Group 5 is back!

[evokingfool]

[All things considered, Group 5's got it fairly easy.

Minato looks around.]
