The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

Characters: Everyone interested in getting back into their body
Setting: 9/18, after this post (may be extended to following days)
Format: Action, prose, whatever you'd like to go with!
Summary: Dax Is A Bro and left a clue. Now it's up to the Tower residence to unite and figure it out.
Warnings: None as of yet, will be adapted as needed.

[After making that post - the first he is aware of - Riku just sighs (one that turns into a cough all of sudden... don't tell him he's coming down with something on top of everything else?!).

There is really no telling how many people will follow his call out, but hopefully there will be some at least. And hopefully they will have more idea what this clue means than he does.

He turns his seat towards the entrance of the floor. Time to see who would turn up.]

[Suzaku nodded] It is, and the worst of them. Well... Almost the worst. [Because Ruana despite her smiles was more terrifying than the rest of them put together.]

He likes experimenting, he likes hurting us. He seems to wish to push us to the end of our endurance whether that is by changing our bodies, or forcing us to kill each other.

[It's not sugar coated, she's here now she has to live with this and she proved on Damocles that she is not a child any more. If she can kill hundreds of people with FLEIJA she can hear this.

But she still doesn't deserve to be here...]

I think that's a sentiment that many of us share, my friend.

[FINALLY. STARBUDDY :< ]

[Whelp, she was officially part of the somewhat heated discussion now, wasn't she? But this was getting...interesting. She had already figured out that people were getting swapped in other people's bodies, but had not come across a pair that were interacting with each other so closely.]

No, no...its all right. I was just wandering around...

[Ah, but this was certainly a conundrum, at least for one of them. The non-smoker, as she picked it up. Which, by doing the very easy math, was the young blonde that was trapped in the elderly man's body.]

I don't mean to intrude, but it sounds like there's a problem between you two and the use of the other's body. Am I right?

Which makes things all the more difficult - and could potentially be lethal. We don't have time to conduct a full vetting of the teams involved. However, we could engage in a quick test, no more than three questions, that only the other person would know the answer to.

Like, for example.. [Her attention goes to Shion for a moment] I would ask Shion where we first met, what item did I focus on during that meeting, and where he found me when the giant monster-thing crashed through the tower.

[Turning back to Not!Setoria, she pressed her hand lightly against her chest, head nodding politely.] I'm Elena and I somehow got lucky enough to remain in my own body. I don't know what I did right to get skipped over, but its an advantage we can utilize.

[Turning back to Shion, she gave a disapproving frown.] Not by yourself you're not. I'm going with you - its too dangerous to go alone right now. Besides, two pair of eyes are better than one.

[Wait, what? 'Pretending to be him?' A name, a face, pops into her head, and she's hoping to Gaia it isn't who she's thinking of.] Who, Shion?

Before anyone goes on to sacrifice themselves, we need to consider all option! As I said, my offer is only in extreme cases if we don't find anything else!

[ Minato, you've not been swapped and that would be certainly very unfair to make your life hell for the sake of science! ]

I believe we should try on the colorless collared drones first. I have never seen them harming anyone and I somehow doubt they have the same offensive capabilities than the red collared ones.

If this fails we will move on to the red collared ones, but god forgive us as it means we would have to kill each other!

[ Actually not since killing colorless collared drones summon red collared drones, but this he cannot know. ]

[ He is legitimately not going to give a single fuck if he sacrifices himself for science. ]

Well, if people have to die, I'm not bothered by that either. Why are you freaking out about it, anyway? I just volunteered myself. It's kind of my decision what I do, not yours.

To kill each other? [ Despite the knowledge of how one's fears and anticipations can be discovered by their body, Nunnally falls victim to it herself. Her hand in his grows clammy as her heartbeat picks up, starting to become frantic at the idea. ] I could ne--!!

[ Stopping herself short, she realizes she can't really admit to that now, can she? ]

This isn't a sanctuary for rescued victims, is it? [ Able to keep her wits about her, she forces herself to ask that. Some realities need to be faced right away and this? This was one of them. ] It's a prison, isn't it?

[Shion nodded, they were things only he knew, well he and Reno but if Reno were switched with him he wouldn't pretend otherwise. He was glad Elena was herself, and the fact she could ask those questions proved it to him.]

I haven't been switched either, I am just trying to help. It was probably random, these things usually are... [He said nothing but nodded at Elena glad that she had offered.

He looked to Elena a moment later and spoke quietly.] Reno...

[Shion on the other hand didn't like the idea of hurting others but...]

If... If we attack the clear collared workers the red collared ones will come... I... It happened once, in the infirmary... [He doesn't like remembering it... but if it will help.

Also yes he agrees with Minato, it's his choice what he does, he wants to help solve this, Reno is in danger.]

[He pouts.]

It's ogham.

[Well, that was a relief. Only knowing a small handful of people - and one of which that she'd be more than happy to have assist being awol - Elena was contented that Shion was himself. At least, as far as she knew. She hadn't exactly passed her judgement yet.]

The more help we can get, the better. But be mindful of those who are eager to help and watch them until we're sure they are who they claim they are.

[Its a little hint that, while she's going to partner with you, Shion, she'll need that additional proof that its really him. After her previous incident with "Reno", she wasn't going to take any chances.] ...Which one? Or is it both? Nevermind, you can tell me on the way...

[She stopped, that was something that could be discussed anyway. What was important now was to confirm what they were looking for, so she shifted her attention back to Not!Setoria.]

Doctor Brown, what should we be looking for in the infirmary? Anything in specific besides those colored vials?

[Suzaku nodded, frowning at what she almost said. Because she had... He didn't want to think of Nunnally, the innocent little girl he had befriended as a murderer...

At her final words he winced and nodded, looking at Yu, hoping he had something reassuring to say.]

[But sitting straight is boring. :(

Riku nods at this, though he doesn't seem quite as optimistic.]

Might be.

[Time will tell.]

[Man, good thing Hakuno's oblivious to subtle flirting!]

I don't think that's possible... [She taps on one of her arms.] This body seems pretty tough.

[Yeah... he doesn't sound like Vanitas - that's for sure. It's still a pretty vague statement, so. Excuse him, he's going to keep his face neutral for now.]

That so?

'least you aren't stuck in a body like this.

[He groans.]

It's me, the other Riku. And you might want to watch out because he's here, too. In my body.

Really, I could do without the darkness. Period.

[Not just Vanitas'. He knows repressing darkness isn't a smart idea, but... still. When you're choking in it like he is right now, it's hard not to wish it all away.]

I hear you. I couldn't care less about this jerk's personal life. Being stuck as him is already bad enough.

[At least Luke doesn't have to worry about having the memories of a twisted creep, though.]

[Here comes Day 3!]

[Not giving up, are we?]

[Day 4. I'm still myself, right?]

[Keep your heads together!]

[Day 5; last chance.]

[See keywords.]

[We are counting on you guys!]
