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!))

"We can make you a belt too!" He showed her his belt, a strip of fabric. "Then you can keep it with you all the time!"

Since Yotsuba didn't know what a belt was until now, she hadn't thought of that, but her eyes lit up at the suggestion.

"Oh! I didn't know what a belt was! That would be useful!"

"They are!" He grinned at her, "You can hold lots of things in them!" He went over to the pile of materials and started looking through them. "What's your favourite colour Yostuba?"

And Yotsuba just watched as Romeo looked through the piles, not thinking of searching herself. After all, Romeo probably knew where the belt materials were! He was smart!

"Green! What's yours, Romeo?"

"Blue! Like the sky!" He grinned and found some green material that wa slong enough to make a belt. "Do you like this one?"

"The blue sky is nice! It's really pretty, especially after it rains!"

Yotsuba looked at the material in Romeo's hand and nodded, moving her knife to her right hand and reaching out for it.

"I do!"

"It is!" Romeo misses the blue skies. The one's here are just not the same.

He passed the material over. "Shall we make a belt from this one then, it matches your hair!"

Well, you couldn't really see a nice blue sky in this place, but there were a few other nice things here too, even if it was dangerous.

"We will! And it does! That's why Yotsuba likes green!" And so, carefully, while having her sling on her right hand, Yotsuba tried to cut the material to fit her and succeeded-even if the ends were a bit uneven-before tying it on-a task made much easier by putting the knife down on a pile for a moment-and sticking the knife through the belt when she was done.

"We're finished! Yotsuba has a knife now..oh! Thank you, Romeo!"

Romeo grinned at her, "It looks great! You're welcome Yostuba and if you ever want to practice more you can come and find me!" He rumaged through the papers until he found the one's she had written out.

"Remember to put these up everywhere!"

"I will! Yotsuba will practice a lot with you and Diarmuid and other people!"

Diarmuid might be worried that she had a knife, but that wasn't something Yotsuba was worried about at the moment. However, when Romeo gave Yotsuba her share of the papers, she nodded and took them, looking as serious as a chipper five-year-old could.

"Yotsuba will! I'll put them up everywhere!"

Like here, for instance. Shifting the papers so that she only held them in one hand, Yotsuba taped one of the notices onto a metal pile before putting the rest of the tape scrapes on her belt and shifting the papers so that she held them in both hands again.

"You put them up everywhere too, okay?! Don't forget!"

Romeo grinned at her and nodded, "I won't forget! I'll make sure everyone can read them!"

"Good! Let's work hard together then!"

And with that, Yotsuba would run out of the floor and through the staircase, stopping by each floor and taping a message onto each one.

Of course, she didn't check to see if Romeo was following. She was just too wrapped up in her work right now.
