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!))

[ Well, good! ]

I have enough for one sweep around the tower's floors. That is sufficient until I need to produce more.

[ Sertoria takes note of the unit entering the room, giving it a nod while she smiles. She makes sure that Tohko doesn't disorganize the area that Doc set up for his workstation before she searches herself for a spool of tape. ]

I believe I have found one. It looks like this, correct?

[ She holds the item up in her hand after finding a couple of rolls of tape. ]

[Sadly, Ivan wouldn't nod back, but it would look at her. He wasn't the worlds most expressive drone ever, since his soul-or sentience-was quite weak right now. Tohko didn't know much about Doc's work station either, so she was just looking around through the piles of clutter until the android spoke again, tape in hand.]

It..it does! Thank you. I really do appreciate it.

[And with that, Tohko would hold out her hand to take the tape.]

If you want..I wouldn't mind passing out some of the papers you wrote.

[ That's okay, Tohko. Sertoria is happy just to see the drone around. She straightens the piles almost impulsively again when Tohko is done looking through them.

She places the spool of tape in her hand and straightens up to her full stature as she was pretty tall to begin with. ]

It would cut down the time I need to take to pass them out by at least 25%, even if I were to activate my speed enhancement. So, if you would like to, I cannot stop you, miss.

[Tohko, for her part, took the tape, still smiling as well as she could, and nodded. Thankfully, her notebook and pen were tucked under one arm right now, so she could take any messages that this android had written.]

Sure! I wouldn't mind helping out! After all, we're not going to get this burned into everyone's brain if we don't help each other out with it.

[ Sertoria taps her cheek slightly in thought before she instinctively taps her headset.

Oh, right. Communication devices won't work. With a slight sigh, her hand drops back down to her side. ]

Hopefully you do not mean literally burning this information in their brain, miss.

[Tohko noticed that tapping, but she wasn't quite sure what the android was trying to do there, so she looked a little puzzled.]

Oh, of course not! It's just a figure of speech! I don't want to hurt anyone! Pardon my asking though..but why were you tapping your headset?

Hm?

[ Sertoria moves her hand to her headset again before blinking in sudden understanding. ]

Oh... I am just used to giving a part of my headset to someone to stay in touch with me if they are in trouble. I am sorry if it worries you.
