Log 021 | I warned you
Characters: Sephiroth and/or/via Ryoji, Some Locked to specific CR, Open prompts also.
Setting: Various locations throughout the Tower. 28th - 30th May.
Format: Prose intro, then Action (Italics for projected thoughts)
Summary: Pursuant to making Ryoji's life in the Tower as awkward and painful as possible, Sephiroth takes the next step in expanding his control of Ryoji.
Warnings: Mind control - Ryoji: Sephiroth may interfere with/control Ryoji at any point during any thread. Ryoji's character death will be inevitable after any thread under the Finale. If anyone goes hunting for Sephiroth, any action to stop him cannot happen before Ryoji is killed.
Throughout all of the suggestive thought and illusion projected at Ryoji, Sephiroth has not once ever made it clear that he's the one behind all of it. In fact he has always taken great care to be subtle about it. He knew that Ryoji has his correct assumption, though it takes very little effort at all to make Ryoji see what the consequences of telling others could be. Sephiroth had spent a long time, months even, making himself aware of Ryoji's movements throughout the Tower; he has paid special attention to those whom Ryoji values most. Just for insurance.
That was about to change now. After so many times, it was so easy now for Sephiroth's mind to find and connect with Ryoji's even from opposite ends of the Tower. Over the next couple of days he would test this power to its fullest, in order to find the limitations - if there were any. To think that Ryoji was so susceptible without even the cellular prerequisite that should be required, this presents so many other opportunities to explore.
Now he would tell the boy, in clear terms that he was behind all of this. So that he could fully appreciate what was to come, and know that he deserved all of it.
1) Evening 28th May, Dorm 04-16 [Telepathic/Locked to Ryoji, OPEN for Ryoji & Anyone/Dormies afterwards]
Ryoji-chan, you have been marvelous.
[It's easier than Sephiroth expected to transmit his voice across brainwaves while the intended is sleeping. He expected some sort of interference from the Tower but there was none; they certainly knew about his actions, else why that encouraging writing on the wall.]
2) 29th May - Any floor in the Tower [Open]
[He could be returning from the Cafeteria, finishing up training in the Gymnasium, it could even be as the elevator doors opened onto any floor Ryoji had been heading too, the effect is the same. At an unannounced point in the day suddenly wherever Ryoji is will appear empty. Empty of monsters, empty of whomever he was just talking to.
It will feel as if until now he'd been dreaming and now has woken up. Every floor, every corridor is empty except for a faint black mist on the floor; dusty as if the Tower has lain undisturbed for millennia. Though familiar enough that he would know he has been here all along, has been alone all along. Of course it's only an illusion, but if anyone touches Ryoji it will feel as if only a ghost were touching him, though if he listens hard enough he might be able to hear them yell at him; but it was all a dream, he's remembering what isn't real. He's free to wander what he sees as the empty Tower alone, all day. Though perhaps someone might want to interfere before he wanders unknowing into the more dangerous parts of the actual Tower.]
ooc-Note to all responders: Ryoji may be able to hear you if you physically touch him or yell loud enough and his path isn't being controlled in any way so it's relatively easy to usher him around though this illusion is unbreakable for the whole day unless Sephiroth is disturbed. Any other questions, ping me/Venus on Plurk
3) 30th May [Locked: Ryoji/Nesir] - Gym Floor 39
[Ryoji will think he is more aware, of when Sephiroth is there or not. This could be another illusion he's causing though, there isn't any way to tell. It could be passed as paranoia. Except when he feels the need to project his voice to make Ryoji know for sure that this is his doing.
Mostly Ryoji will be left to go about his routine but Sephiroth will be waiting inside of him, ready to control an action or reaction that Ryoji might not so naturally carry out.
But it's not so unnatural for the boy to go training after all. Though when Ryoji comes across Nesir training in the Gymnasium, Sephiroth will make Ryoji pause to watch her. Though he does not interfere in any other way for the time being. It would be time to test loyalties now, he thinks, to see how far their 'friendship' really could be pushed. Based on how his meddling with Yukiko and Ryoji's relationship had gone, he's confident he could direct this either way.]
4) FINALE Later 30th May, Floor 11 [Locked to Diarmuid & Yukiko]
I wonder how far this can go. Lets go for a walk.
[Sephiroth hasn't directly made Ryoji go to the 11th Floor, rather suggested to him on a subconscious level that it might be somewhere he felt like going right now. Why go to all the effort directly controlling a person when only a suggestion is needed.
That's when he'd chosen to project his voice. Before long, Ryoji is headed away from the stairwell towards the edge of the Tower, through the shallower parts of the lake just before it meets outside. If Ryoji loses his footing, Sephiroth will of course let him fall and struggle with the water before resuming his suggestion all anew once he's back on his feet again.
How far are they up from the ground, anyway?]
Dormitory 03-02 [Open - during/inbetween Prompts in above]
[His dormitory is the safest location where he can lose his outward inhibitions enough to focus entirely inward and then directly towards that wavelength that his mind so easily picks up on now. At first he had tried to keep his outward senses sharpened as well, for protection, but there was a god-awful noise going on that after a minute left his ears tingling. Was that the Tower trying to interfere? Could be. Sephiroth would have to do this another way.
It wasn't as if anyone he shared the Dormitory had earned any emnity though so he'd just have to trust that. The reward far outweighs the risk, knowing the extent of his power over Ryoji is crucial. Besides, shutting down most other senses helps him to keep focused.
So for the majority of both days Sephiroth can be found, sat cross-legged on his bed in the Dormitory. His consciousness wrapped within something akin to a medatative trance, though not without that feeling of power that some who wander close to the room might be able to pick up on. He comes out of this trance only to catch roughly 3 to 4 hours of sleep, or to leave the Dormitory and hit the showers as he does at least twice daily. It must be taxing, to keep this up constantly for so long but Sephiroth doesn't show it.
His expression remains disturbingly neutral though if anyone glances over they might see the faintest sign of a smirk sometimes.]

Hope it's ok to hop in at this point!
Also LOL I assume all the lights are out? Dumb question from dumb mun.]
Of course! And sorry for late, I thought Seph still needed to jump in
Ah... I'm sorry to wake you. I just had a bit of a nightmare.
