“But, she looked into your eyes, And saw what lay beneath. Don't try to save yourself, The circle is complete.” ☆GHOST QUEST   Here we go. Below are the general outlines of what will go down for the break ins, based off of the plans put forward by each team. If your character isn't specifically named as doing something at any given point, you are free to assume they are helping in whatever means makes sense to you. Levels of injuries taken from brawls are also up to you. People may start play in media res from the points specified in the write ups, under the header for each label. These will be single, free for all style threads with no posting order. If you have something to contribute, you may post at any time. After that, this post will also be used for threading out the aftermath of this choice, if the players involved wish. ☆PRIDE RECORDS Gradually, the group comes together, including a surprisingly tall stranger who claims to be a "fusion" of Tiger and Kido. Supplies are collected, and plans are discussed. Baryl will reveal himself to everyone sharing his Passion alignment, meaning that they will be able to see him even when outside of their bodies. Everyone else will just have to take their word for it. Baryl will opt to ride Mai to start with, briefly taking control in order to deliver his message to the others more directly. From there, he lingers in a passive role, providing what information he can about the building's layout and saying that he'll be around to give them a more direct assist when the time is right.While others prepare disguises, Yuffie and "Tigo" work on seizing a key from some lingering guards. Using their invisibility, Tigo creates a distraction, giving Yuffie the perfect opportunity to put her thieving skills to work and pickpocket a key. For now, their scheming is going unnoticed. The two rejoin the rest of the group and get to business. With everyone wearing face concealing clothing and armed with spray paint, they head towards the elevators. Tigo won't be able to cover everyone in their stealth effects, but they are able to take Tooru and Yuffie to the front to set off smoke bombs from a surprise location, just as the guards are beginning to close in on the suspicious looking masked Pride members. Everyone bolts for the elevator and manages to get on without guards on their tails, Yuffie using the key to send them to Lesedi's office. The guards attempt to cut power to the elevators on the way up, but Baryl will be able to override the electronics long enough to keep it going. When they arrive at the top, there are more guards waiting for them. There is a confusing brawl as more smoke bombs are released, with Tigo cloaking Roy and Mai to get them to the elevator first. The guards end up getting stymied with spray paint to their eyes, though they manage to rough everyone up pretty good before it gets to that point. Before anyone can get taken out, Baryl exits Mai long enough to do some kind of magic ghost thing that knocks backs the guards, and everyone gets into the elevator and heads down. The power to this elevator doesn't get cut - presumably they don't have access to the controls. Everyone enters the labs. While hiding from the anti ghost waves inside of Mai, Baryl is able to sense the source of the disruption, and leads the group there. Not long after they arrive, an elevator full of guards will follow them into the labs. Conflict will break out again just as they come upon the barrier, and see a blurred ghostly visage inside. Roy sets to using his tools to tear up the machinery supporting the spell with the help of a few people, while the others set to distracting the guards. Baryl (through Mai) will attempt to use some percussion magic to help fend them off, though it will cause the guards to focus on Mai as a target and she'll get tasered. Baryl manages to hop into Terry and continue, but his energy is running very low. The barrier will begin to short out, and Lesedi Santiago appears in a blind rage. This is where we'll begin. ☆VIRGO ENTERTAINMENT Those leading the group will get everyone together, giving Arpegius the opportunity to speak to them through Meril. He'll give them what information he can regarding the layout of the areas downstairs, and everyone can begin making plans. Arpegius will be sort of surprised to discover that everyone starts crossdressing, but will decide not to question it. Arpegius is be able to help disrupt cameras in the area on the way to the basement, but it takes most of his focus - meanwhile, Luce and Nia start acting acting drunk in response to the first posse of guards they run across, distracting them as Keith, Cloud, and Marty strike. The cross dressing does manage to succeed at one thing, which is causing confusion. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that it actually manages to obscure anyone's identities from the guards - or at least not from what the team can tell from their reactions. Arpegius manages to open the way to the basement, and everyone will manage to run inside, while he spends considerable energy finishing off the robot guards the others have been tangling with while possessing Meril. Everyone gets downstairs and drags the guards with them, and Arpegius locks the door behind them. Once in the basement area, everyone stands guard while Marty pries open a vent and releases Ivan in the form of a small fennec fox inside, in order to get to the lab areas on the other side of the big mysterious door. It takes a while to do it, but eventually he emerges on the other side of the big door, into a pristine white lab area with tons of bewildering scifi machinery. He's able to open the large gates from the other side, which unknowingly send an alert to guards in the security office, though their reaction won't be as urgent as it would have been at a forced entry. Everyone enters the labs, with Arpegius hiding inside of Meril and rapidly growing exhausted by the effort of holding on. The labs are filled with strange devices that look like they are meant to examine human bodies, as well as a number of tools that look like they are meant to affect the brain. There are many doors to other areas, but Arpegius will be able to point them in the right direction - until they come upon Stella in her stasis pod. In this form, she only looks like a ball of light. Parker starts working on getting the computers to cooperate, while others work on strong-arming the actual machinery. Luce takes a ton of pictures of the area and hands them off to Ivan, who is still in his fox form and ready to flee. The pod is difficult to pry, but a combination of Parker's work and the bludgeoning will eventually crack it open... Just in time for a new wave of guards converge upon the labs from the outside. The big doors open, the guards come in, and then are closed behind them - effectively blocking the only real avenue of escape. As the pod finally begins to open Arpegius is barely holding on. And this is where we will begin. “Hold your colours against the wall, When they take everything away. Hold your colours against the wall, With me.” |

[Everyone except Roy is taken care of, heading their way out. Damnit, they should have packed stink bombs. That would have gotten Santiago's attention. Instead he lobs another bomb at her and races over to the other man.
He's okay with the one being caught. Tiger and Mai have a chance to be safe with the smoke bombs he just threw. That's all that matters. They others he doesn't care as much about,
still doesn't mean he can leave someone behind.]
Let's go Mustang Sally!
no subject
Why are all of you calling each other by name?! This is why we should have had code names!
[ He's just a little frustrated by their predicament, nearly getting struck by Santiago, and you know... being called names like 'Mustang Sally.'
Roy doesn't know why but the thought that they're 'all lacking proper training' keeps repeating in his head. What a mess. ]
no subject
[Tooru turns and starts running for the door. He's not as fast as he should be do to his bad knee. He's only going to slow the group down.
It's one of the reasons he planned on being one of the ones to take the fall if need be.]
no subject
[ Heck make something up as you go. Use anything but actual names. ]
None of you should have been cleared for action!
no subject
Hey jackass, you weren't cleared for action either! So stop complaining like you're our mother.
no subject
[ Roy draws near the entrance but just as he does more guards come flooding through the doorway to block the path out. ]
no subject
[As the guards close in he swears under his breath, lowering his voice so only Roy can hear him]
We're fucked. Let's try to distract the guards so the others can escape.
