[Massive Infiltration Plot] || [Semi-Open]

Characters: All the characters who signed up for this infiltration, too many to write them all here. Characters who stay behind and do not infiltrate can tag into the mingle thread.
Setting: The Cafeteria, then the Elevator's Shaft and finally the Administrative Floors. The 29th of July, in the morning.
Format: Action most likely.

Summary: A month ago Ganondorf planned an infiltration to go and pay a visit to Riki's floor-- Given what has happened these last weeks, the 'Evil Alliance' has accepted to allow Enoch and the people he gathered to use the infiltration in order to do their own thing. Namely, retrieve scientific instruments from Jason's laboratory, so as to study the Collar Fluid. The infiltration will begin on the 1st floor, the Cafeteria.

The first thread is a traditional mingle thread, happening before the infiltration and briefing begin; anyone can tag into it. The second thread is a quick briefing before the infiltration starts, where Enoch and Ganondorf will explain to everyone what to do and what to expect in case they don't already know. Then there are the seven group threads, one for each individual team infiltrating.

The OOC post is here for more information. If you have signed-up but didn't pick a group yet, please do so here. While the infiltration takes place, the villains who stayed behind are unleashing a distraction on the tower and those who don't go.

Warnings: Administrative floors, danger, death, horror. Anyone tagging here is probably going to die, or at the very least meet with a terrible fate.

Yeah, that's the only place I have seen them. I guess I figured, if nothing else, there might be somebody else doing the same job I was down there. And how hard could it be to take something from what is essentially a mindless zombie? But Dave has a point too.

[No offense meant to any tower residents who are currently stuck being mindless zombies.]

So let's just keep going down, make Procesing our goal but in the event that something happens or we can't get there from this shaft, we will make due. Goal oriented, but flexible, yeah?

[Just keep swimming descending, just keep swimming descending...]

[Countless wasps with the heads of human children fly up from the bottom of the elevator shaft. They'll vanish just before they touch anyone, however.]

[[Wasps? With the heads of kids? Now that's just shitty. With a frown, she leans down a little bit further to the dragon she's riding on, watching them and closing her eyes as she scrunches up and braces for impact...

But it never comes.

Opening her eyes again....reveals that they're suddenly gone.]]


...where'd...where'd they go?

[personal profile] derping 2013-08-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[So much for the buzzing sound going away - for a moment Sora worries that they might be in big trouble already, but nothing comes of it. The weird wasps just...disappear. At least, it seems like they do.]

I...think they're gone?

[Sora doesn't sound very sure of that at all, but he doesn't hear anything else, either.]

Well, wherever we go, we should start moving before they come back. Or before something else shows up.
keybearer: (sorrow)

[personal profile] keybearer 2013-08-09 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[With the wasps gone, Riku lets out a huge sigh of relief. A fight at this altitude and without powers was definitely not on his agenda.]

Sora's right. We should keep going as far as we can. We can't afford to stop now.

[Not that he has much of a say, seeing how he's riding on someone else's dragon, but if the others are up for going, he is, too.]

[The area they're looking for is one of the farther ones, relatively--still, they shouldn't have a problem traveling down, as long as they can ignore the banging and screeching that seems to resound through the elevator shaft, as well as the little bloody handprints that seem to be shadowing them, as if some invisible, bloody creature were following their descent.]

[personal profile] justabignobody 2013-08-10 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riku tunes out the banging and the screeching - there is no use getting sidetracked now already - but he takes note of the hand prints... and the possibility of them being followed by something invisible. There is nothing they can do except keep a wary eye on that, if the wasps before are any indication this could also be just an illusion.

...Or it could be something more, but they'd find out soon enough.

He turns his focus away and tries to remember the last time he had traveled this far down, and how long it had taken them then. They've traveled quite a distance now, so...]


...I don't think it's much farther.

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-08-10 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[When you spent over two years in a world with constant background music, blocking out ambient noise is almost laughably easy. Screams and bangs? What screams and bangs? It's kind of hard not to notice the handprints.]

Hehe, check out the cheesy b-grade horror flick effects. Not that those are surprising at this point.

[If we can joke about them, then nobody will worry TOO much, right? Keep it upbeat, guys.]

But yeah, I agree with Green-Riku. It shouldn't be too much further now...
imperialsun: (Emotion - Sneering at you)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2013-08-10 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I've seen worse.

[It's true. He's killed worse too.]

I'd lead the way, but I haven't been down here before. [He can keep watch of those invisible hand-prints in any case and who they belong to this way.] Let's get what we came for.

[The handprints follow them down, increasing in frequency, until they reach approximately, judging by the time they've been heading down, the level they should be at, when they all disappear as if they'd never been there at all.]

[Dave guides Bro down the shaft, keeping an eye out for trouble while acting like he isn't.] Someone toss out the cheesy line, 'are they gone?' Oh wait, looks like I did.

Whose going first to start operation stylus?

[It's a good thing he chose his strongest dragon. Bro can flap for a long time to keep himself in the air.] I assume those who have been here before.

[So just an illusion after all. Properly. Riku looks glances down at Naoya before turning towards John after a moment of thought.]

I'll go.

[And well... Naoya probably too since he's being held by Snoop. Unless John (or Naoya) has any objections...?]
imperialsun: (Persona - One man army)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2013-08-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Naoya has absolutely no objections, please proceed, my fine sir.]
ghostytrainer: (this is how they smile in the animes!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-08-13 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that wasn't creepy or anything. At least they're gone though, like they really were some kind of cheesy effect.]

[He nods to Riku.]


Go ahead, we'll be right behind you!
derping: (And then what? ♦)

[personal profile] derping 2013-08-13 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[The hands were weird, but Sora was glad that they turned out to be nothing...or, at least, that they didn't do anything bad.]

Lead the way, Riku!

[After all, he had been here before, and of course Riku would do a good job of figuring things out.]
justabignobody: (♘ Something so simple)

[personal profile] justabignobody 2013-08-13 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Riku just snorts, smirking faintly and nobody will ever know if his reply to John was meant to be sarcastic or not. (...It probably was and wasn't at the same time.)]

How comforting to know.

[And with that he nudges Snoop to descent in the direction where he assumes the entrance to be.]
keybearer: (yeah right)

[personal profile] keybearer 2013-08-14 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Seeing how this Riku's with Bro, he can't really move on his own, but he gives his double a nod and a thumbs-up.]

I'd say something encouraging right about now, but that usually ruins everything.

[The elevator shaft door in question is closed, but it does seem like it would be able to be opened if there was something thin enough to force into the gap.]
derping: (Default)

[personal profile] derping 2013-08-14 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Since Sora is at the end of the group, he doesn't have the best view in the world, but he can see that the door is closed. He's pretty sure there isn't any obvious way to open it, either.]

We've gotta get that door open.

[He tries to look more closely, though he can't maneuver the Ryu Dragon without running into someone. Except for the space between the edge of the door and the wall, though, it doesn't look like they have much to work with.]

Can we force it open with something?
ghostytrainer: (acquiring a taste for freeform jazz.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-08-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe the blade of the sword?

[John's a bit too far back to really see in fine detail what they're dealing with but when he cranes his neck, he can see enough to have a pretty good idea.]
turntechtrainer: (pic#6251371)

[personal profile] turntechtrainer 2013-08-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. Man, why didn't we get the typical thief weapon, a crow bar. [He shakes his head and peers carefully at the door. The sword is real, it should work. But if the doors are too strong, that could snap the blade.

Then again good steel shouldn't snap. Ugh. Choices.]
All in favor speak up and give me room to work some magic with the blade. Not going to risk dropping this thing.
imperialsun: (Emotion - Thinking)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2013-08-15 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he's not the only one with a blade, so Naoya brings out his own, having the same thoughts as Dave.]

Maybe if we use more than one, it'll be easier.
keybearer: (curious)

[personal profile] keybearer 2013-08-15 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[He glances at the dragons.]

Maybe they could help? A bit of muscle and claws might help tear the thing open.
justabignobody: (pic#5877112)

[personal profile] justabignobody 2013-08-15 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we should try with just one of the swords for starters. If that doesn't work out we can still think of alternatives.

[The quicker they move out of the shaft the better, probably.

He pulls up on Snoop in order to be able to glance down at Naoya from over her shoulder. They are after all the closest to the door.]


Do you want to give it a try?
imperialsun: (Emotion - Serious look)

[personal profile] imperialsun 2013-08-15 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Well worst off if his sword breaks, he's got a machine gun. Without much fanfare, he sticks his sword into the elevator and tries to pry it open bit by bit.]
