Sleepover before the storm

[attheclocktower]

Characters: [OU] Xion, Excalibur, and whoever comes
Setting: Floor 101
Format: Whatever floats your boat
Summary: It's the night before the infiltration. People are plotting, discussing, and Xion has brought a Dream Eater so those who want to try to get a good night's sleep have a marginally higher chance of doing so. So in short it's a Tower-flavored sleepover. Bring your own pillows.
Warnings: Nothing in the top level. Will try to edit if anything changes but if something comes up in one of your threads make sure to add a warning in the subject line

======================

[Standard mingle post procedure. Make your top levels. Tag around. Have fun. Or not, this is Animus after all.

Notes will have been passed out and quiet discussion gone around by word of mouth, just saying that several people were spending the night in the hidden floor. Anybody who spoke to Xion would have been told that she's trying to figure out a way everybody can get a good night's sleep. You'll need to supply your own blankets and pillows but... hey, at least if you have trouble sleeping, you'll have company?

Note that any characters who sleep on the Hidden Floor, if they normally suffer from nightmares will likely have notably lessened or absent nightmares (up to your discretion) owing to the Dream Eater that Xion has brought with.]

Ar... Saber of white suggested you would be one of those to lead us, in what is to come. [ Rumbles the massive knight. ]

You have my assistance, come what may.

[ What it costs him to say that to a non-human... there's a moment of real pain reflected in the Astartes' stance and voice. But he will do as needs must, for thus is the burden of duty. ]

[The seeming difficulty in his voice makes her hesitant - she doesn't want anyone to feel like they have to follow her if they don't necessarily want to - but she does nod in gratitude.]

Your assistance is greatly appreciated, sir. I will be going downstairs this particular venture - have you made plans as to what you will be doing?

[... He does not exactly seem like the stealthy type.]

[greyerrant]

I intend to remove my armor and infiltrate. All Astartes are trained as scouts in addition to our other battlefield functions.

[ And they're freakin ninjas too, when they're not completely covered in war plate that can bounce tank shells. ]

[sageprincess]

I see. Your experience will be a valuable asset, then. I believe our best chances lie in moving in several smaller groups, so that should one fall, the entire objective is not put at risk. Does that seem like a sound plan to you?

[If it does, then he not necessarily have to follow her exactly should he find doing so objectionable.]

[greyerrant]

Five to ten man teams. Combat squads, basically. Best distribution for a situation like this. Do you have any form of person to person or squad to squad communication set up?

[ his finger twitch as he describes the teams, signing out 5 or 10 man teams in order when he mentions them. ]
