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

[If there's one thing Felix is good at, it's being quiet. He merely shakes his head "no".]

[uzuki]

No... I haven't encountered that many of the monsters here. They don't seem as alert as the other things though.

[As in... they aren't chasing us down yet.]

[warriorscribe]

Let's move carefully, then. Along the edges of the room, in a line. Stow anything that is a light source. If they see us, attack from a distance.

*And Enoch will lead the way inside, moving very carefully along the perimeter of the room.*

[lighthousediving]

[Felix nods, securing his blade in its sheath. It wasn't that it made light, but if he was going to use Psynergy it wasn't required that he have it out. He just had to hope these things didn't have the ability to see Psynergy. He follows Enoch just as carefully.]

[uzuki]

[Shion's energy blade was powered down, and she followed the group. She also might have made a mental note to remember to request traps along with medkits... When she finally got around to that.]

[The ChuChus, not being the cleverest of creatures, don't notice as they pass. Soon they're in the hallway out of sight of the monsters. There's a button at the end of the hallway.]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch makes his way to the button, still along the wall, and still moving quietly. If he's unimpeded, he'll press it, but if there's any signs of an obstacle he'll hesitate.*

[As soon as Enoch presses it, a white light shoots out from it and rushes down the hallway. It travels all the way back to the hub, where the area in front of Jason's door glows white.

It also lets out a siren.

The monsters will be following the sound soon.]

[lighthousediving]

[Even though it doesn't look as immediately dangerous as last time, Felix is pretty sure they should save time getting out of here to avoid more casualties. Fortunately, he's already in the middle so he grabs Shion and Enoch by their arms and closes his eyes.]

Retreat!

[The multi-colored orbs of light surround them once again.]

[animusnpcs]

{They return to the door they arrived through before any monsters have the chance to tear them into any more pieces.

From here, making it back to the hub will be easy. They are the fourth group to do so.]
