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

[great_king_of_evil]

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.

[Jason closes the distance himself--he takes the strike and grunts at the pain as it pierces one of his arms and sends a few more scalpels flying, but his arm twists in on itself and goes to work repairing the damage on its own.]

That's enough witty one-liners from you.

[Jason can move very quickly when he wants--he grabs for Yu's neck with his two longest arms.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion's still wincing painfully, only to look up see Jason going past her, and it's no secret who he's aiming for. Given that there's only one other person in the room and he's behind her.]

Yu!

[Defying and ignoring the pain in her feet and left arm, she reaches around for the dropped Fairy's Sword. Once in hand, she swings it around again, aiming to swing it into one of Jason's legs. She may not be fast enough, but one of her friends is in danger. She's not going to do nothing.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Well what do you know... it DID hit him. Yu blinks, a bit of a smug smirk playing at the corners of his lips before he suddenly finds a hand at his neck.

He reaches up, trying to pull the hands off of him.]

[animusnpcs]

[The Fairy's Sword seems to melt against Jason's leg as the film it's made of bends around Jason and refuses to strike him. Meanwhile, he squeezes down on Yu's neck, cutting off circulation and bloodflow to knock him out. The grip is like iron, and one of Jason's other hands comes up to tug Yu's arms back and away roughly.

Two of Jason's other arms go to Xion, to grab both her arms and keep her still.]

Did you both have fun?

[attheclocktower]

[Xion ignores Jason's question, trying and failing to keep at least her good right arm out of Jason's grip. She struggles furiously, glaring at Jason with tears of anger and pain leaking out of her eyes once more.]

Leave him alone! Ah-!

[A particular wrench makes pain flare in her scalpel-impaled arm, and she sags, closing her eyes and panting.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Yu doesn't respond to the question, attempting to at least give a good kick or two before he loses consciousness.

'Xi...on... I'm sor-'

No, not going to finish that thought. Because at this rate he has someone else to apologize to and it isn't the one who just rendered him unconscious.]

[animusnpcs]

[Jason pulls a table forward, shoves the monster's corpse off of it, and puts Yu onto it, strapping him down. After that, he deals with the still conscious Xion--he grabs and yanks, ignoring the inevitable damage to her feet that will result, and puts her on another table after shoving the dead monster off of it, strapping her down as well. Once he's sure neither will be moving, he moves, goes to a panel near the door, and presses a few buttons in rapid succession.

The glamour returns. Yu and Xion, however, still have their abilities completely disabled. Jason's grin is a little on the wild side for him, and he pulls a scalpel out of his jacket pocket.]

Now, let's see about dealing with you two. You [he gestures sharply at Xion with his scalpel] are the main cause of this little chase, of course. But you did seem to want me to leave your friend here alone.

[He glances down at Yu, thoughtful and, just slightly, manic.]

Alright--I'll be merciful.

[Jason stabs his scalpel down into Yu's throat, piercing the artery there and letting the blood pour out. Yu will bleed to death.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion struggles to some degree, though there's little she can actually do at this point, especially as she's strapped down. The abrupt return to normality - which is to say the glamour - catches her by surprise, and she tries to summon her Keyblade, or cast Cureaga, or something but of course it's to no avail.

In the end, she's left watching as Jason approaches them both, decides how to deal with them. She doesn't even react as Jason blames her - she'd do it again in a heartbeat. But then, he stabs Yu, and Xion screams involuntarily.]

No!

[After that, she's very still, almost horrified, watching Yu as he bleeds out. She knows it probably could have been a lot worse, considering Jason, but... a friend just died. And she could do nothing.]

[animusnpcs]

There, that wasn't so bad. [He walks over to Xion now and uses the still bloody scalpel to cut through what remains of her clothing and expose her chest.]

Now, what about you?

[He traces a thin red line down her chest--he cuts just the skin, and no deeper, as he thinks.]

[attheclocktower]

[She barely notices him approaching her - she's still staring horrorstruck at Yu's body - until he starts cutting at her clothing, at which point her eyes snap back onto him, turning venomous.

The scalpel sliding down through her skin makes her groan and bite her lip against the pain. As soon as it stops, however, she finds she has only one last thing to say.]

Do.... whatever you like. ...I'll keep fighting. ...We'll all keep fighting.

[Fuck your learned helplessness.]

[animusnpcs]

Of course you'll keep fighting. [He cuts her open, now--as if this were open heart surgery, except she's very much alive.] That's what all of you do, right? Little mice backed into corners bite and kick and claw...

[He cuts down further, tugs at her intestines and pulls them out enough he can show them to her.]

Even with their entrails dragging along behind them, even when they're certainly dead, rats and mice will fight.

[He lets her intestines dangle, now, hanging out of her body.]

That's why I like all of you so much.
