[heavenscorpse]

The soul is the most important part, right...? You can recover from this even though it hurts right now.

[sageprincess]

[If she were the type, she would have to laugh. "Pretty serious" is quite the understatement, after all. But she's not the type, and so Fayt gets a slight sigh and a nod of agreement.

As for his question...]

There will likely be mental manipulations, making us believe things we otherwise would not and act in ways contrary to ourselves. In turn, the most immediate priority will be making sure people do not break under the stress of it all.

If you are asking for something more concrete, however, I am afraid to say I do not know. Unfortunately, there is still no way to confront and stop her directly that I know of.

[princeofjunes]

Not just my body, I mean... I mean everything.

[starofpleiades]

Mm... there has to be a way. If they can do all of this, then...

[starofpleiades]

I'm... [A sigh. She's not hurt, but...]

[heavenscorpse]

Right... All I had was my guitar from home, so I don't know how it feels...

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[He turned towards the voice, confused for a moment before vaguely recognizing who it was. He never expected to see Gandalf in such a construct of a body. It didn't seem right. It didn't seem natural. Of course, that didn't mean anything. Nothing here was natural.]

Aye Gandalf, it is I.

[That could easily be a lie from anyone in the tower, claiming to be others that shared a collar color were it not for the fact that this "bodies" seemed to be shaped generally like their bodies had been.]

quick icon edit

[eternallily]

Kazumi!

[Saki runs over to Kazumi as soon as she hears her name being called, but it's not soon enough to catch her before the film-kitten rubs against the other girl's leg and she falls.

What else can she do but scoop both of them into her arms as she bends to their height.]

It's - it's not okay, but it will be. It will be. Just let it out. Don't worry about me right now. I'm fine - and I'm not just saying that. I really am okay. Just let the tears out.

[sageprincess]

"You will know if this is successful in the month after you place the microchips. There's no mistaking the result, don't worry."

[She recites the last few sentences of the note that came with the box, having read it so many times to memorize it. And at this point, she's no longer bothering with secrecy regarding this part of Dax's plan in particular. The other administrators have to know what they did by now, after all.]

I have to imagine that it is.

[brbtalkingtogod]

I haven't seen him yet, but knowing him...

[Knowing the scribe it might be better if someone checked on him soon.]

He will be fine.

[sageprincess]

[There's a moment of quiet, and then she accompanies her response with tapping the lid of the very real box she carries.]

This is what dispelled the illusions. It most certainly was not in the other administrators' plans, because I did everything in my power to keep it secret from them.

[scentofmakai]

That's good. Give him an extra dose of looking after for me, will you?

so sorry if this posted twice, my internet hiccuped

[eternallily]

[Saki doesn't entirely recognize the girl - she wasn't entirely herself at the time they last encountered each other - but the voice is familiar enough that she approaches, cautiously.]

...if you need some company...I don't think anyone should really be alone right now.

[eternallily]

[Saki's been patrolling the dorm halls, looking for her friends, when she hears the cry. This is a familiar voice, and while she and Edgeworth haven't always been on the best terms, she doesn't want anyone to be alone with their fear like this.]

Edgeworth-san? This is Saki Asami. The girl with the electricity powers - or well, I had them, at one point, before they were disabled.

May I come in? I think we're all in a bit of shock right now. It's not a good idea for anyone to be alone.

[princeofjunes]

[His hand reaches for the 'headphones' around his neck, then he shakes his head]

Not just the stuff.

I... really think home is gone for good. Until now, I had kept believing that-

[He can't bring himself to finish]

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V had been acclimating herself to the inevitable death of humanity since before she came to the tower. Other people, it would be much harder on.]

Do you want a hug?

[brbtalkingtogod]

That's my job.

[In all honesty, the demons that are in this tower are kind of strange to him.]

[scentofmakai]

[The angels here are even weirder to Zett.]

Thanks a lot.

[brbtalkingtogod]

[So they agree on each being weird.]

Just stop calling me sir in the future, that doesn't fit me.

[They can discuss other honorifics, but Lucifel is no sir.]

[myblueskies]

"No. You're lying." He took a step back from the laughing figure. He must be lying, of course everything was real. Why wouldn't it be real?

[puppy_lancer]

Adjusting to the new form? Yeah, kinda crazy, isn't it?

[He puts a hand on her shoulder.]

Go ahead and take your time. And if you've got questions over being just a soul, feel free to ask.

'sup kids I heard you're looking for a princess

[sageprincess]

[And find a princess they will at the top of the Tower. Zelda still remains near the elevator on the first dormitory floor - one of the most heavily trafficked areas in the Tower - though by now she's dragged a chair-shaped piece of film from one of the terminal alcoves for her to sit in.

The box that's responsible for all this sits in her lap, making her easily recognizable to anyone in the know.]

[adorably_evilish]

"Hm, of course! I knew that." No Veigar, you didn't...

Mapping the Tower... I should have thought of that...

With a new direction well in his thoughts, Veigar set forth again to lead the way to their destination.

"I wonder if they have turned on each other like they turned on the rational one..."

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Asking him it looked like in... what was that movie called? Anyways, humans could be creative in strange ways. Strange and very disturbing ways at times.]

And if it gets in the wrong hands? We would be in trouble then.

[He's just being realistic here.]

[snowyvalemaiden]

"An' nottin' will be comin' outta panickin' oda dan makin' tings worse mon. I be glad der still be sum wit a good 'ead above der shoulders. I'm sure ya will be 'elpin' plenty a' da residents mon."

As for her? She had something to do as well, but she was simply relaxing for now as a means to get her bearings on the place and letting her enhanced senses adjust to the new environment.
