towerofanimus | A dead man's wish

Characters: Everyone.
Setting: Everywhere, July 11th
Format: Whatever you want - it's a mingle log, after all.
Summary: While Naoya gets the reveal started on the network, Enoch takes care of physical copies.
Warnings: Reveal. Info. Nothing else, inherently.

*There's something different about the tower today. Not in a big way, not like the power or glamours are out. For one thing, everyone with a mailbox will get this note, unsigned:

Souls in our world are defined as the self. Even those without anything that can be considered a soul in their own worlds would manifest one here. Souls are extremely resilient - they can be torn out of their body and survive provided they are removed in the right manner. But they shouldn't be of course - the side effects might be disastrous in ways we can't quite understand. It's happened here before. Souls can be torn out of this world the same as in any other. Here though they can split - that's extremely important. They can split and merge if you have the right skillset. Never lose your soul in the Tower of Animus. None of yours are yet lost - but never lose it! They won't come back whole if you let her swallow them up. The power must have gone by now - she'll want to restore the tower. Everyone who ended up trapped on their own worlds is now in grave danger! She can't take souls as Zo can, but she can siphon them and she can squeeze all the energy out of them.

As soon as this message is decoded put it in as many places as possible! Put it on the network make copies and plaster them on the walls. Do everything you can so that as many people read this message as possible. There isn't enough energy to erase everyone's memories!

Remember - souls born here can be split and reabsorbed here. A soul born elsewhere can be split there, but there's no way to put it back together unless you can put it back where it's supposed to be.

Not everything is as fake as it seems. Your souls are here and you have all been drugged to keep certain aspects of yourselves contained but every part of you is here. You can use that against them if you can figure out how to unchain yourselves. I'm afraid you'll have Jason as your first opponent as he's the one with the keys you need. Be careful! There is information everywhere though much of it has been nearly permanently sealed. I can make it possible for you to access it, although you will all have to unlock it.

If that wasn't strange enough, you've probably seen it already. The same message is posted throughout the tower - on bathroom stalls, on walls, on tables. There are easily over a hundred pieces of paper.

And hey... Isn't that the same note "the Observer" put up on the network yesterday evening?*

((ooc: Mingle log for reactions off the network! Have fun!))

[ While Sertoria is busy distributing the messages to every accessible and safe floor, she makes a detour for the graveyard. She's not sure why she's doing this, but it seems right.

The android walks through the lines and lines of grave markers, taking a notice of Marty's before she perks up, taking a notice of Yu. A relieved smile spreads across her face and she gets up to join him at the grave he's at. ]

It has been some time, has it not, Yu?

[Yu'd been about to stop by one of the three Chies who had left these cursed floors when he heard the voice near him. Blinking, he turns his head to see who it is-]

Sertoria...

[He can't help but be relieved when he heard that one voice he didn't think he would again. Relieved, but at the same time, worried. When wasn't he worried, though?]

Yeah... A lot's changed. [Yet some things stay the same.] Holding up alright?

[ Sertoria takes care to not disturb any of the graves to make her way over to him. The android stands tall before him, remembering clearly of the words he said during their first meeting. ]

I can imagine. The...energy is thick here, I believe. [ A smile. ] I am relatively fine. I am glad to see you again, though.

[That was an understatement if he ever did hear one, but he smiles as well.]

Same, though I wish it were under better circumstances. We only have eleven months to go, after all.

[ Eleven months... Those words carry a grim meaning to her, even if she believes in the residents' strength as a whole. ]

Have there been any changes as of late?

[Oh Sertoria, if only you knew just how many.]

There've been many in the last year. For one, Dax was killed and then devoured by Ruana. Zo replaced him for his months in control. And we discovered the true nature of what we all are.

[And this is the abridged version.]

[ It's okay. Sertoria's in for the long haul as far as information is concerned. ]

I have heard about Dax being devoured, which is... unpleasant. [ Understatement of the year. ]

That we are nothing but wireframes here and our soul projects our body as we choose it to? I have heard about that, too.

[He'll have to commend her for that later. Understatement included.]

That's putting it lightly.

[He is pretty sure Ruana is a fae or something now.]
