5th Call - It still lies at the bottom, unused

[brbtalkingtogod]

Characters: Members of Pandora and those discussed in the plotting plurk
Setting: Floor 81; 15th December
Format: Starting as prose, then going with the flow
Summary: Pandora has to get organized and make a move while they have the chance, so Lucifel picked every member up for doing so.
Warnings: None for the time being

It was something that had bugged Lucifel for a few months. A lot things have happened during this time but it has gotten silent around Pandora. He knew the members still wanted to change something, that there was still a meaning in what they did. But he had to face it... they were unorganized. Completely and totally unorganized.

But with Jason out of the way for a short amount of time it was the chance to gather them all up for a meeting, without asking though as he simply took them along by  teleporting them. And perhaps also try to find out why it looked like they have retired. With a plan in mind the archangel picked up each and every member of  Pandora, as well those who have helped them in the past at the 81st floor.

When he had gathered everyone on the floor he stood at one of the windows, facing those in front of him and his back turned at the windows.

"Well everyone, it's been some time, hasn't it? Hopefully none of you minds that I organized this meeting all by myself."

*Enoch is no stranger to finding himself in a new place suddenly, but it never does get any less weird. After getting his bearings, he takes stock of who else is here as they're teleported in. It doesn't take long to figure out the pattern...this is a gathering of Pandora.

But then the twisting metal outside the window catches his attention and he goes to watch it, hands on the curved glass as he watches in awe. He hadn't had the chance to see it yet...*

[notagiraffe]

Taiki wasn't actually one of the ones teleported, he had just been stood at one of the window bulges looking out, when all of a sudden a group of people appeared in the room.

He span round and shrank back into the window, Gohran appearing at his side, still in puppy form for the time being. His eyes darted around until he saw someone he knew, at seeing Enoch he relaxed a tiny bit.

[warriorscribe]

Oh... *He looked down at Taiki.* Forgive us. Even we didn't know we were coming.

*He's used to Lucifel pulling random teleportations by now, yes.*

[notagiraffe]

Oh... [He blinks and shuffles his feet] Um... do you want me to go... [It looked like this was important]

[imperialsun]

This was unexpected. One minute he was gathering his weapons for a different kind of patrol and to talk with others, the next he was here, finishing the step he had started on a completely different floor. For a second he looked around, realizing who else was there and relaxed a little.

"Hello."

The situation made it interesting, to say the least.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Whatever thing he had been doing it would have to wait until later. It wasn't like it would slip out of his hands anytime soon and if he had been speaking with others then he could just tell him that he had been taken here against his will. But it was the fastest way to organize a spontaneous meeting.

"Hey, you don't mind, do you?"

[no_longer_a_king]

Arturia draws forth Caliburn the moment she appears here, the shock of suddenly being teleported enough to put her on her guard. Had Jason decided to retaliate now?

But no. No. Once she realizes the faces of those around her are familiar she takes a deep breath and dismisses her blade.

To Lucifel she says: "A little warning would have been nice. Do you have a purpose in mind for this meeting?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"I thought this might be the best chance for a meeting since we don't know how much time we will have. The sooner the better."

That's his reason for just gathering them all without any warning.

[attheclocktower]

[Xion's reaction is probably one of the harshest thus far. Before she even realizes where she is, her Keyblade is out in a flash of light - it's faster than her real sword at the moment - and dropping into a fighter's crouch. It was almost as if she was expecting something of this sort. Which... maybe not this but she had been suspecting anything.

A few moments later, she realizes she's only in one of the lounge floors, with several other surprised people. Her posture eases slightly, though she does not dismiss her Keyblade.]

What's happening?

[imperialsun]

Impromptu meeting, it seems.

[Which may be a very good thing at this point.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion straightens up fully, head tilting a little to the side.]

About what, though?

[What that required a bunch of people to be summoned elsewhere?]

[imperialsun]

I'm not sure myself...

[Looks like everyone is in the dark as far as this situation goes.]

[warriorscribe]

I apologize for Lucifel. He can be...ah...

*A little tactless, is what he wants to say but can't bring himself to do it so bluntly.*

[attheclocktower]

[Sighing, Xion looks down at her Keyblade then wills it away in a flash of light]

I don't even know why I'm here.

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch glances around at all the people gathered. So far, all he can tell is that this is a Pandora meeting, given the people involved...*

...You're with Pandora, aren't you? Or, if you aren't, he believed you were.

*What he just said right there? The whole reason this meeting was even necessary. How pathetic...*

Meeting

Given the darkness and lack of elevators easing travel, it is actually rather convenient.

[At least this floor has light, even if it's from a fake sun. Zelda holds up a certain anonymous call to arms between her fingertips - she had managed to get to her mailbox before getting 'picked up' by Lucifel.]

There is an angry mob already forming as well, it seems.

[She... doesn't sound particularly enthusiastic at the prospect of taking Jason head on, though.]

[wegotlucky]

[He needs to do something. He can't continue to feel sorry for himself, to hide in the shadows. Not now when someone was counting on them, someone was risking her life for them]

Let the mob go after the administrators.

We need to focus on other things, here. Like helping Aria in whatever way we can.

I realize he's directly addressing another here, feel free to go around me.

[warriorscribe]

Right... That's what you called us here for, isn't it, Lucifel?

*...Not exactly, Enoch.*

[brbtalkingtogod]

... For one. Yes.

[But first he'd like to see where this is going. Not so much because he's interested in it but for slightly different reasons.]

[sageprincess]

Agreed. If Aria asks for our assistance in any way, we should give it, and try to encourage others to do the same. Not everyone believes she is on our side

However, given how little we know of her plan, currently, I propose a few other thoughts to take into consideration:

One of Aria's other duties is to protect Zo. If she is up here, it may mean he is unattended. While I am certain he would be able to handle himself if confronted with vengeance-seekers, I believe we all can agree keeping him out of the crossfire entirely would be preferable.

Additionally, there is still the matter of the information that had previously been locked down before Dax's research was decoded. To my knowledge, no one was fortunate enough to stumble upon it during the last assault on the administrative levels, which may mean it is still out there, waiting to be found. If it is from the researchers who previously inhabited this Tower, it may be the key to making sense of those visions we had last month, or perhaps even the nature of the 'virus' that is destroying the worlds.

For now, it may be out of the question. It would stand to reason that if Jason is unable to get up here, we will not be able to get down there. But if and when he breaks the seal Aria has placed on the lower levels, it may be our chance to explore them with one less threat to be concerned with.

On the side with Zelda, Enoch and Lucifel

[imperialsun]

[He figures with what's about to happen, now is a good a time as any to talk about something.]

Would you three mind if we talked a little more together really quick?

[At this point, there's not much time left, and he might as well play all his cards if he can.]

[warriorscribe]

I wouldn't mind. What is it?

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Lucifel turns to face Naoya, his right hand in his pockets.]

Not at all.
