[open] this ae night, this ae night
Who: People who went to the tower, and then people who want to hear about what happened in the tower!
When: 8/25-8/26.
Where: The CERES Tower, and then the Sanctuary
What: A catch-all log for the CERES Tower Exploration, and then a discussion of it!
Rating/Warning: Will edit when needed.
THE TOWER
[ As per the mod post:
All groups will find that the tower is deserted, and all technology is shut off. Through some fiddling, some of CERES’ databases can be accessed, but only in the most basic of safe modes. Hacking will just get everything to shut off again, as it takes too much power from whatever emergency power source allows the systems to turn on.
There are no dangers, but even so, the characters won’t have long in the tower before their code starts to warp strangely. If they stay too long, they will be glitched right out of existence -- and then right outside of the tower. They will find that for the next three ic days, all food tastes burnt and sleeping is extremely unsatisfying, to the point that they don’t even feel like they need it, before they go back to normal. Characters will have a maximum of 3 IC hours in the tower before that point.
Feel free to thread out characters meeting up before the exploration, or bumping into each other in the rather big tower, amongst other shenanigans! ]
THE SANCTUARY
[ there isn't much of a preparation for this, but there will be a text blast alerting everybody to go to the sanctuary if they so please to discuss what people have found in the tower.
as usual, a variety of flavours of pizza is being served. there may not be pizza for everybody however, as athena is rather broke. (sweats) remember to leave your cerevices in the basket by the entrance! ]

Wow. You know, it's almost like it wasn't actually the shrine. Wait - maybe I'm onto something else! Maybe... he lied to us! Maybe he brought us somewhere totally different from what he said.
But do people actually do that? Do they just... not tell the truth for their own reasons?
...Naaaahhh, that's just silly.
[this display of sarcasm aside, Viridi will pause.]
If something was interfering, it's probably the Flamines. They're still after CERES for payment, right?
no subject
Gold star, that's some top-level sarcasm right there. He can appreciate! And does, with a growing smirk.]
Yes, but if there is something to be found at these other locations, one must first find the actual locations. No? I shall have to speak with Lady Athena and others who were taken.
What I know of the Flamines is as much as anyone knows - that they are single-minded. Interfering in our physical and mental makeup is underhanded and subtle, the Flamines appear to prefer to deal more directly and viscerally. [like destroying worlds, apparently]
no subject
[this seems highly implausible]
Oooh - wait. You don't think it's Mosley, do you? Or that creepy robot? Is that why they got rid of him?
no subject
Or, well, he doubts it already, but for other reasons besides logic.]
I can't say. There was absolutely nothing about Mosley that we could find - no records, nothing.
no subject
[Viridi looks faintly surprised.]
Well. I'll say that is finding something, then. Mosley is important enough that they went through the trouble of clearing out all of his files.
I'm thinking 'Find Mosley' should be an important step in our Plan of How to Blow This Popsicle Stand.
no subject
[he'll keep the idea in the back of his mind - others believe Mosley to still be alive, or have altruistic reasons to "rescue" him. Cao Pi would go along if it meant he really was still out there and capable of helping them, but his personal jury is still out on him even being alive.]
no subject
[That was a real thing that people from feudal Japan had, right?]
OK, whatever, any lead can still end up being a dead end! Like today. Doesn't mean you can't try and follow 'em.
no subject
[although he can appreciate the suggestion as a joke. Cao Pi nods slowly, already beginning to ruminate over options for leads.]
Perhaps you're right. I will see what the others have to say, and prepare my next move accordingly.
