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.]

[ocariness]

[ Offering a small smile now, and a nod. There's obvious recognition, so no, not new. How's it been going, Suzaku? ]

[swordofzero]

I'm glad. [And glad for the backup, Link was another who knew just how fine a knife point they walked here.]

[ocariness]

[ Pretty much. Link is quiet for a moment, but... hey. Suzaku. Hey.

You're getting a small smile and a hand on your shoulder, man. It's okay. They'll figure this out. ]

[swordofzero]

[At least he was smiling, but... He also wasn't talking and that was very much like those that were effected that it was frightening. Except he wasn't altered and his collar wasn't pink.]

Is everything alright Link?

[ocariness]

[ Nodding! Everything's fine, don't worry. They promise they're not gonna like attack you or anything, really. They just... went home for awhile.

... It was hard.

Where's that notepad they had... oh, here it is.

i am fine
Jason did not get me ]

[swordofzero]

[He frowns not quite understanding, but reads what was written. That was a relief at least...] I am glad. Though I'm not sure you truly are fine.

[ocariness]

[ ... Ah... all they really need to write is the obvious.

they sent me back.

It's one sentence, but the meaning behind it is very, very obvious. Link isn't sure if this was done to keep them out of their way, or not, but... ]

[swordofzero]

[Oh... That did explain everything, Suzaku looked down.] I'm sorry...

[ocariness]

[ Link just offers a small shrug, trying to be nonchalant about it.

It's okay. They're fine. Thank you.

are you ok
i mean as ok as it gets here
if you need anything tell me :(

... Yeah, Suzaku, they might be worried about you, and the intent gaze you're getting underlines that. ]

[swordofzero]

[Suzaku nodded] I am. [Though he often worried about how low his threshold of okay had gotten. For himself and those around him.]

The same to you, don't hesitate to find me if you need help.
