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 Five

[John nods, following Zelda's lead for real this time since apparently mun has no reading comprehension and thought they were actually moving last time. Suddenly he's glad that he has yet to hit his growth spurt. Much easier to duck beneath machinery this way. He'll wait to make his mad dash across the open area when he's sure it's a little safer.]

[Luckily, Jason and his retrieval units are distracted. The chipped collar worker unit is still standing nearby.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Well, he'd definitely taken cover when instructed to, glancing back from the direction they came from at first before the direction of the door. Jason's still distracted... This may be the only time they can make a break for it.]

He's still distracted. Go now.

[He may have muttered a prayer for forgiveness to himself under that whisper, but who knows when he's chosen to take the lead just this once, quietly taking the chance to flee toward the door and the chipped collar worker. Thank you for max Fortune social link back home thank you learning to shadow a suspect/stealth. Thank you thank you thank you.]

Courageous Farore, watch over them...

[Because Goddesses know they likely wouldn't have this chance to escape if it weren't for Feferi's group confronting Jason. With Yu no longer taking rearguard for this moment, she makes certain that John is keeping up as they make their mad but quiet dash for the worker and possibly freedom.]

[John is pretty sure this is the fastest he's ever run in his life. And even then, he's probably still bringing up the rear on those stubby legs of his. He's hoping against hope that that their luck lasts long enough for that door to be their ticket out of here. because lord knows, they've tried their luck enough times since coming down here.]

[Arturia is convinced they've tried their luck so much that there's no way they can continue to be lucky. Once she reaches the chipped collared worker she stops and waits for the others to arrive because she is not leaving anyone behind. Her eyes are glued on the door they came from, ready to let her companions know the moment she sees any sort of movement at it.

This is the longest minute of her life, and that's saying something. Is this what Assassins feel whenever they need to pull off their own stealth maneuvers?]
