[Dark World Event] || [Infiltration Plot] || [Closed] || [3/3]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: The characters who got recruited to hack the elevator or infiltrate the administrative floors. Look at the tags.
Setting: The Cafeteria-- Then the Elevator and the Administrative Floors.
Format: Action most likely.
Summary: Ganondorf's true plan begins. While the annoying administrators and the heroic heroes are busy dealing with the "Dark World" controlled by Richtofen, Ganondorf and Repliku, Naoya has freedom to hack into the Elevator System and the Team led by Nesir can then use it to infiltrate the lower floors undetected. They will then divide into two teams to cover as much field as possible. Quite obviously this won't end so well.

The official purpose of the mission is to find the Control Room of the tower and the Exit Door mentioned by Ruana long ago, with the ultimate objective being to take over the control room. The truth is that it's a suicide mission with as only purpose to gather intel on the truth and how to take over the tower's control systems.

Warnings: Nearly all characters here are deeply anchored into the Dark Side-- Probably only Ryoji isn't. And the odds to meet one of the administrators while in the lower floors are pretty high, so all the warnings?


Contacted Characters
All characters meant to come will have somehow been contacted and told to come- By either Ganondorf, Naoya, Sephiroth or Nesir. Indeed, each of them will either have been directly contacted in person or will have received a mail in their mailbox (or in their dorm if they have no mailbox just yet).

The transmitted message pretty simple, to come down to the Cafeteria floor, March 5th before mid-day if they have enough of the tower and want to take things in hand personally. There are no particular instructions, except that they must not fear death or the administrators if they decide to the Cafeteria. And obviously, utmost secrecy has to be kept.

[Nesir turned, seeing nothing behind them yet hearing the footsteps. She looked around, listening for any other sounds. It was possibly some kind of trap, trying to get them to panic and she stayed in the emptiness, calm and watchful.] Be keeping vigilant.

[isthatashortjoke]

I heard it... [Veigar began as he continued his pace, eyes lighting up with a flare of power.] Though I cannot feel it anymore...

We're definitely being watched then? Or is it simply a trick...

[In any case, he knew better than to underestimate an opponent. He could gloat after he had obliterated them. He'd be on guard.]

[animusnpcs]

[The path before the group has become darker. The lights flicker at odd intervals.

The footsteps cease, but there is the distinct sound of breathing. It is impossible to tell what direction it's coming from; it almost sounds like the hallway itself is breathing.]

[culbutiri]

[She looked around, glaring at the walls for breathing. Were they breathing? Walls shouldn't be able to, yet it was coming from all around them.] Do anybody be having light magic... [A pause] or fire... >small>[She hopes no one has fire, as useful as it would be]

(hopping in here before I have to sleep)

[neverbeamemory]

Could be either, could be both.

[Sephiroth answers Veigar before the lights flickered. His gaze drawn upwards, suspicious until the lights stabilize again, though noted now - by the flickering, that everything has grown significantly darker as they have carried on. His grip around Masamune's hilt tightens as the breathing sound from all around starts up, heavily resisting the urge to look around to try and locate the source.

It feels to him like this is all just trying to wind them up but who is to say? He simply shakes his head silently at Nesir's inquiry about a light source. No magic here.]

[adorably_evilish]

[Veigar nodded at Sephiroth, it really could be both and much more... He'd dealt with enough madness to know that the possibilities were limiteless.

At Nessir's inquiry, Veigar flexed his grip on his Black Torch and it came to life. Even though the flame was pitch black, it emanated an eerie glow that allowed them to see better in darkness, without attracting too much attention to them.]

Thread carefully...

[neverwrong]

[Mello is wary, but he doesn't let it show. He glares at the hallway, as if trying to intimidate whatever it is that's breathing. He doesn't have any magic to use, of course, so he just sticks close to Veigar to see where he's going.]

They're just trying to psych us out. Don't let it get to you.

[culbutiri]

[Nesir nodded at Veigar, he seemed to be the only natural magic user in the group. She followed it's light, trying not to worry about the breathing corridor.]

[animusnpcs]

[Their footsteps start to sound suspiciously wet, though the floor seems dry upon inspection.

The lights flicker down briefly. When they come back up, a black sludge coats the floor and splatters the walls. This lasts only a second. The hallway appears clean with the next flicker of the lights.

The sound of breathing is still steady.]

[neverbeamemory]

[Obviously Mello. This Tower by it's very nature tries to psyche people out. Sephiroth doesn't answer or make any noise in response though, just slipped in a little behind Veigar so that we could keep a better eye on the shadows outside of the range of the light source. Sephiroth needs the room to defend with his sword if it came to that.

The soggy sounds in the last few foot falls, upon a quick inspection of the floor convinced Sephiroth of the obvious illusion trick going on. He had turned his senses up a touch in the meantime as the need to try and determine reality became more apparent but then lights flicked again. For just the blink of an eye, as his sight adjusted there was black sludge, then clean again in another flick.]

I wonder, what is the illusion.

[culbutiri]

[Nesir wasn't sure she wanted to know, but knowing was the whole point of this mission. She breathed, retreating further into the emptiness hoping that the clear mindedness would help her separate truth from illusion.]

[isthatashortjoke]

In this place it's hard to tell... What is certain however, letting these mind games slow us or put us on edge causing us to lose focus is not the best course of action.

[Veigar huffed and continued on with the group, illuminating the way.]

I say we deal with what comes when it comes. Stay alert but don't lose focus of what we're here to do.

[neverwrong]

Sounds like a plan.

[Mello's looking straight ahead. He refuses to even acknowledge the strange things that are happening around them. The less time they waste trying to figure out what the purpose of the illusions is, the better.]

[neverbeamemory]

[And dealing with what comes, well it looks to Sephiroth like this is one of those things that he's dealing with. After all, how would they know if they had found either one of their targets if they were being hidden from them under an illusion. Similarly, how would they know what they did find was real...

He'll keep his senses as sharp as the blade he's holding as they continue down the Hallway. Being drawn into an illusion, anywhere in the Tower is only opening yourself up for trouble.]
