For Thine Is; Zo

[animusmods]

Characters: any characters who are still within the Tower
Setting: the hidden floor
Format: any
Summary: Zo needs help. What will you do?
Warnings: psychological horror

Aria and the other retrieval units stand guard in the room and regard each person who enters with a little bit of caution. The reason quickly becomes clear: Zo lies unconscious on a bed that appears to have been stolen from a hospital recovery room. With the glamour down, he looks spectral: it's possible to look through his body and to the bed beneath. He's not quite a ghost, though, as he can be interacted with.

If Zo is attacked, the retrieval units will be quick to retaliate. They can't help Zo on their own, though--so maybe there's something you can do...

It's alright. We didn't stop him, either. [She looks as sympathetic as she can as a wireframe construct.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

What a pain.

[She sighs. Her gaze, odd since she does not have eyes, runs over her wireframe for a moment.]

What happens now?

[animusnpcs]

We need to wake Zo up. [She gestures to the boy.] He's been unconscious behind a barrier since his power discharge.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Power... discharge?

[She's only woken up a little earlier, in time to hear Aria's message.]

[animusnpcs]

After Zo dealt with Sephiroth, he let off a lot of power and passed out.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Oh... and you want us to wake him up. Why don't you do it yourself?

[animusnpcs]

We've tried, and he won't respond to us. We think that since you're all connected to him--because he brought you here--you'll be able to bypass his barriers.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...Okay, I'll give that a try I guess.

[animusnpcs]

Thank you. Good luck.
