we'll rise up and take the power back

[tacticaldisaster]

Characters: Team Hero [Robin (tacticaldisaster), Hakumen (iamthewhitevoid), AU!Link (ocariness), anyone else who wants in]
Setting: Floor 101, elsewhere in order to pick up allies
Format: Starting with action, do as you wish after!
Summary: The Fellowship of Heroes is formed in response to the Rebellion plot.
Warnings: HEROES BEING HEROIC. I actually don't know yet tho.


[Robin has noticed that on some of the floors, one simply cannot use their powers. Even her tomes are defunct - she's tried. Experimented, if you will - and kept meticulous notes in her journal just in case something went wrong.

This counts as "something going horribly wrong", this increase in drones and mutilated, mangled, brainwashed people. Some floors she hasn't gotten to check out yet -- but she's going to have to try, she thinks as she steps onto the last step up. It's a glowing step (she notes that), and just like that she is teleported into what seems to be a hanging garden. Very handy; the drones may not be able to follow a person here as easily as they would otherwise. A quick test tells her that this is another "powerless" floor.

Good thing she can use a sword as well as she can use magic.

"Floor One Hundred One: Garden floor, accessed via non-obvious teleport on last step up of staircase. No powers permitted. Apparent disconnect from the rest of the tower; no staircase. Arrow buttons apparently a replacement as such. Up and down arrows, specifically - indicating direction of return?"

For now, this is as good a base of operations as anyone could hope for. Here, she'll be on equal standing with any drone that manages to get in, because if she can't use her powers then they probably can't either. The only problem, of course, is that she appears to be alone.

There is always and has always been safety in numbers.

As a result, Robin can be found with the hood of her duster/cloak up on the floors nearest the teleport, trying to locate others that haven't been brainwashed.]

All of what you say is true...For now, I'd hope to focus on gathering intel and making sure those who can't fight and are in danger are kept safe.

[She chuckles ruefully and shakes her head.]

It's definitely a goal that can be achieved, if we've got enough manpower. Though I would hope for the rebellion at some point, but...that's more long-term, wouldn't you say?

[lightofhumanity]

There is nothing wrong with that..but we need more than manpower if we wish to have a successful rebellion. We would need a way to disable their powers, or it shall just end up as a slaughter for us.

[And he did not wish to see a sight like that again. Once was enough.]

[tacticaldisaster]

Understood. I plan to gather as many people as possible. There's strength in numbers, after all.

As for power disabling... I assume dragging them onto one of these floors wouldn't work?

[lightofhumanity]

Numbers are usually good..but..again, they are useless if we cannot get to them safely and know that we have a chance.

..And I do not know if it would or would not..but if you could even get the Administrators on that floor, you would be very, very lucky.

[tacticaldisaster]

[She nods again.] I understand - then, please think of that as more of a long-term, eventual goal. It's something that will happen, but not yet, because we're not prepared. For now, though...keeping people safe is doable, don't you think?

[A thought occurs to her- how familiar.]

...We'll be the shepherds, I suppose.

[Chrom, Sumia, Lucina, everyone...I'll carry on for you.]

[lightofhumanity]

..I believe that is doable..but you might want to ask around in secret and see if someone else has already started a rebellion. It would be good if we could pool resources instead of being separate groups.

[chaos froze at that statement. While his facial expressions didn't betray anything, inwardly, he was worried. Why shepherds?]

..Perhaps, in a way.

[tacticaldisaster]

It sounds like a plan - perhaps after this mess with the drones has ended?

[She saw that!]

...My apologies if the name distressed you. It's just that the Shepherds was, well, the name of the military group I acted as tactician for back home. We patrolled the border with a hostile country, fending off bandit raids on neutral towns...protecting the sheep, as Chrom called it, you see?

[lightofhumanity]

Perhaps..until then, we should keep a tight lid on it. We do not know if these drones will report everything they have learned when this is all over or not.

[..chaos smiled kindly and shook his head in order to hide what was going on inside. He was quite good at this, having done it for thousands of years.]

It is alright. It just brought back an old, old memory, that is all. However, it is good that you protected people back home. Hopefully you will be able to do the same here.
