Who: These suckers and E R R O R
When: OOC: 5/29, IC: 7/15
Where: CERES Research Tower and Beyond
What: It seems an old friend has decided the situation is progressing too slowly.
Rating/Warning: PG-13: Violence, injuries and inevitable deaths.




▶ ACTION.EXE | IC: 7/15
For those unlucky saps who disappear today, ranging from early in the morning towards the middle of the afternoon, well...they can't be reached by CereVice.

Any attempt to do so will bounce back the message User Currently Occupied.

It's an odd message, and one that's never been used by the CereVice. How strange. It's probably nothing though, right? No contact can be established between groups or from groups to outside people in Cerealia, whether by technology or magic. You're cut off from everyone but those in your groups, now.

Otherwise, all abilities will remain intact.

As for the people who do disappear, well... things get a little hairy really quickly.

There is no tagging order, so feel free to tag in whatever way works best for you as a group.

The characters should not ICly be gone longer than 5 hours -- if they survive, of course. There will be mod involvement in each of the threads.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask them here. Please try to avoid asking hypothetical questions (such as "What will happen if my character does [action]?") as that's part of the fun and risk of the interlude! You are welcome to plot with your groupmates in this post. Thank you!

Uhhhh...

[ Yosuke winces, stepping back into the long room they'd been in before. The screen is still black and...yeah, the door sure is shut. He cringes. ]

...Yeah. It's closed. I dunno if it was on a timer or something...or did opening the other room close this one off?

[ He goes to the end of the room and--well...hold on a sec. Looking upwards, he waits for a blue light to form around his feet, the Magician tarot card floating down from the ceiling. Calling his Persona, just in case, seems like a good idea. ]

Takehaya Susano-o!

[ Good ol' flameo is back. With his Persona floating behind him, Yosuke decides to reach out and yank on the door to see if it's locked, too. ]

[ He really just wants to leave, honestly, but he'll shove it down.

Excuse him as he tries to open the wooden door! ]


Clarke typed something on the keyboard. It might've been that... The other door shut too.

[ Okay. Well. He's here, and they're there, so he crouches down in front of the door and looks back towards Nico and Clarke, along with the room Yosuke is in, before he whispers (assuming the door is locked): ]

Plagg. Sorry... I know you're tired. Can you try and open the door? Just, get out if it turns bad.

[ and that little black cat will come out of his hoodie with a sigh, before disappearing into the door to get that done. ]

[ Of course they come with error messages; she couldn't have expected it to be that easy to see home. But the third option, well- That's different.

While Adrien is busy with the door, Clarke stares for only a moment before she hits the > Y input, though she has the thought to dig out her Cerevice and stick it on record before she taps the enter key, because why would she ever consult those around her as to if she should or not? She fully realizes that transmission could mean any number of things, but hey, escape plans can be made on the fly, right? ]

[ Damn. Yosuke gives a grated sigh. ]

Yeah, it's locked good! I'm gonna....

[ He looks down the long room, back towards the console. The screens are out, but...could he start them back up again by playing with the keyboard all over? Then again, that creepy robot face had, uh, graced them just before cutting out.

Is it worth it?

He actually looks up to his Persona for a second opinion. His Persona shrugs. ]


How's it going on your end, guys?

[ He walks back to the console, trying to see if he can work the same magic again. After all, he's had a pretty good run with the electronics thus far, right?

He presses the enter key to see if the screen will come back to life, and then > ESCAPE ]

[Nico watches as Clarke types, looking through the door down the hallway at the others every so often just to make sure they're still there.

When the air starts getting removed though, Nico decides it is time to go, expression looking grim.
]

Adrien, Yosuke, get in here now!

[ Not working. Plagg comes out of the door with a shake of the head, retreating back to Adrien's hoodie. This definitely doesn't sound good, and he can put why that didn't work to the back of his mind as he moves back to the room. He doesn't feel the oxygen deprivation or anything just yet... but he's not about to test anything.

He'll peek into the room Yosuke's in before he makes his way back to Nico and Clarke.

He can't do anything but— ]


Yosuke!

[ They can't die, not all of them, not now. ]
flamekeeper: мαηυαℓ (❚318)

[personal profile] flamekeeper 2016-06-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well that's inconvenient.

You know what? That was rude, and even Clarke without her humanity thinks it was, because hey, she isn't human, but oxygen is still a requirement here!!! ]


Wait. There's no way I'm leaving yet.

[ Because just for that she's going to start breaking things. Not just anything, but very carefully rifling through or breaking open the equipment in the room until she can find a hard drive, disk, or other electronic storage; even just paperwork that seems important. She's bent set on finding something that she knows will contain information; she doesn't seem to mind about the whole oxygen thing, if only because she's fully aware that if she suffocates from the thinning air, she'll just revive back and have a couple minutes before she suffocates again.

May as well see if she can get something out of it in the process.

(If she doesn't find anything in this room, she'll return to the original one and begin tearing through it as well. Clearly if she's going to die, she wants to make sure it's worth it.) ]

[ Yosuke doesn't register what's happening immediately. There is the sound of something and he looks up and around. Vents? He notices vents for the first time. Why are they suddenly activated? The computer doesn't respond, though. Damn. And then Nico and Adrien are shouting for him. ]

Okay!

[ He spares the door one last look before trotting down to the end of the long room. His Persona follows, though it flickers. ]

I can't get the door open. The computer isn't responding anymore.

[ And flickers again. ]

What's going on?

[ He's starting to feel kind of light-headed. The fact that coming back means he has to look at Jaune's dead body isn't very comforting either. ]

[personal profile] zombiedude 2016-06-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Nico follows after Clarke, telling the others firmly:] Stick close to me. I can do something to get us out of here fast but you have to be holding on to me. [If they start running out of time, he'll grab them and dive for the nearest shadow, hoping that if he yells at Clarke to grab him, she'll stop searching and do so.

He just hopes his shadow traveling will work. It's a one time only trick until he's able to rest and recover for a bit because he's likely to pass out shortly after he does so for a good while due to shadow traveling with multiple people. Hopefully they won't land in more trouble if he's able to pull it off; he doesn't want to end up being dead weight for the others to carry around if they do, but if it's a choice between 'I'm pretty sure we are going to die if we don't get out of here soon' or 'We might end up in trouble and I will probably be passed out for it,' he's going with the latter.

[ It's getting hard to think. He jumps when he sees Clarke just start going at things, but what really gets him off kilter is what Nico says. Yosuke does a double take, inhaling sharply through his nose, though it feels too shallow. ]

...What'dya mean you've got something that can get us out of here fast?

[ He's almost in disbelief. He doesn't really know any of these people well, but he would assumed if someone had a trump card in their pocket, they would have brought it out, you know...right after they were kidnapped and stuck in a sewer?? It's a very visible change in Yosuke's demeanor, his concern and curiosity changing to something far more expressive and, frankly, upset.

His Persona flickers again behind him, as if it's having trouble staying manifested. ]


Are you saying you could've gotten us outta here this entire time?

[ Because, what? SERIOUSLY? He throws his arms up. ]

Are you frickin' serious? What the hell, man!? Someone died! [ He motions to Jaune's body behind him as he takes in another breath. He's feeling dizzy. His Persona begins to fade. ] This entire fiasco could've been avoided--I can't--

[ He coughs, then gasps, holding at his throat. ]

Why didn't you say som-- [ Gasp. Susano-o disappears entirely and Yosuke holds onto the wall. ] --I can't--

[Nico moves over to the nearest shadow, grasping onto Adrien and Yosuke's arms while calling out for Clarke to grab onto him. He doesn't have time just yet to explain to Yosuke, focusing instead on getting them out. Guiding himself towards that exit, he prays it works this time.

They evaporate into the shadow, and the group will get the feeling of moving incredibly fast in pitch darkness before popping out into the basement of the building.

Nico takes in a deep breath to steady himself as he lets go, weaving a little bit on his feet as a wave of tiredness and dizziness hits him. Good, it doesn't look like he landed them in immediate trouble. He takes the time to answer Yosuke's question, turning to him and speaking in a tired murmur.
] Wouldn't have worked... Something was... blocking me before... Don't know what...

[And then suddenly standing is a very very hard thing to do. Nico ends up falling forward onto Yosuke and manages to mumble one last thing before he's out like a light.] Find... Will Solace... [Will will know what to do with his unconscious self, because he has a feeling he's going to be out for awhile. He'll apologize later for having to haul him out the rest of the way, and he hopes they can just walk out without anything else happening.]
