towerofanimus | On a mission, on a mission. Get out my way, I'm on a mission.

Characters: [ou] Elena & YOU
Setting: Infirmary, Floor 2; Laboratory; Floor 27
Format: Any!
Summary: Mission Objective: Search the Infirmary!; Side-Quest: Investigate the Laboratory!
Warnings: Its the Tower - c'mon! Other than that, none to speak of, 'cept for death.

[The purpose and scope of their plan was simple. Search the infirmary. See if there was anything relating to the vials of liquid that had been seen in the video upload that had been provided. After discussing the plan with Shion and a body-swapped Doctor Brown, a quick team had been assembled to go conduct a search. Knowing the potential risk of just who was who, Elena continued to watch the team cautiously in the event her paranoia was proven correct.

Standing in the center of the room, she took a mental assessment of the area, frowning. There was a lot of ground to cover.]

We're going to want to check every cabinet, every drawer, and everything in between. Leave no stone unturned. Also, look for places that a terminal might be hiding as well.

.....

[Laboratories. Elena despised laboratories as much as she despised hospital rooms and for the same reason. They were too sterile, the air too stagnant, and the plain white walls with shiny, metal medical equipment were hardly comforting. But, as she had passed this room once before, the giant tubes of unknown liquid and many hundreds of bottles of chemicals had caught her attention. She's slow in her investigation, starting from the right side of the room and working left, looking for something - anything that would prove useful.]

[He looks at her, confused for a moment as his head spins to process things.]

Depends on your definition of all right.

[He was going to get the real Cloud good and drunk, it would probably be appreciated considering.

His accent is wrong for Cloud though, and at the moment he doesn't care to try. It's too Midgar by way of Junon and Reno for the blond's voice.]

[Her mouth sets into a concerned frown. While it looked like Cloud and the voice was the same, it was the way he spoke that let her know immediately that she wasn't dealing with the ex-SOLDIER.

No, it was clear that it was at least somebody from Gaia. And, if she could guess by that very unique accent, she'd found one of the missing members of her team...

She's no more than an arm's length away and slowly inching closer.]

You've got to be kidding me... Reno?

[A nod, sharp as he releases the table and shakes the hand out.]

Rusty.

[Not the one you slept with, sorry.]

[No. Really. She can't. But she wants to. But it would be so horrible.]

.......Oh...

[Oh god, Rusty, she's so sorry but she's busting up laughing for a moment. Of all the people he could have been swapped with - this was too much. Hands reached out, clasping around his bicep, holding on as if it was the only thing grounding her.

As her chuckles died, she wiped at her eye, patting the arm sympathetically.]

I'm..I'm so sorry, Rusty. I couldn't help it. Are you okay?

[It's cool laney, he cracks a tiny grin at her laughter. Better to laugh than cry after all.

He shrugs a little at the question.]

It's better than the last time I did this, I actually don't have to manually breathe or wait too long between heartbearts.

[Or worry about turning in to the apocalypse...]

[Good. Because everybody needs to laugh every once in a while.]

Manually breathe-? [A heartbeat later.] Oh god, don't tell me you were swapped with Valentine?

[Because that was equally hilarious, if not a bit more pitiful.]

Yeah.

I nearly killed him and Veld.

[He'd then spent the next few days hiding from noise and light in a bathtub.]

...hardest part now is how damn short Cloud is.

....That doesn't sound at all like a pleasant experience. Makes me sad you're having to go through it all over again - even if it is Cloud.

[Elena makes a little huffing noise, moving to stand shoulder to shoulder with him before turning her head up to look at him.]

Still taller than me, tho.

So...what were you doing here by yourself? I thought we all worked as a team.

I'm pretty used to getting fucked over by the universe at this point, Laney.

[He taps the side of his head before shrugging again.]

Better eyes, but it's not that useful considering some of the... side effects.

[He looks uncomfortable at the mention of working as a team though.]

This'll probably end soon enough, whether we have to die to change back or whatever else. I'd just rather it didn't involve canibalism, I probably taste terrible.

On a mission, on a mission. Get out my way, I'm on a mission.
