[WORLD TWO | SHIT MEETS FAN]

Who: The Chosen 12, Shehui Monitors
Where: Around Shehui, The Underground Holding Areas
When:
Open/Closed: OTA, but especially the Chosen 12

[ Something seems different about today...you feel it when you wake up if you're of the sorts who happen to have a good gut instinct. You don't have to wait around long for the news of the day to confirm this anxiety in your chest. In fact, it may only intensify if you happen to be looking at your ID card when the announcement comes in.

On your ID's text scroller, a message comes through with a loud, blaring beeping:

The following Shehui residents have been requested for an audience with officials. If you know of their location, please tell them as such and maintain their location as much as possible. (The list, though, contains last names OR the name they offered at their Shehui introductory meeting.)

Ruby
Haru
Geir
Madoka
Jade
Julius
Jusis
Shirley
Orga
Noctis
Akechi
Riza

If you're in your apartment and happen to be on that list, you'll find that your door is locked from the inside suddenly. You and your buddies aren't going in there until a monitor comes by. For those out and about, you may be able to hide for a while if you're in a crowd of folks who don't know who you are. However, any and all news or screens will begin offering photos of those on the list as the day continues. That might get you some interesting looks.

That being said, you have options -- giving in and surrendering is only one of the choices you can make.

pre- or just after the announcement: Want to react to this sudden discovery that you're quite possibly a wanted criminal? Go right ahead! Maybe this is where you begin to plot your life on the lam. Maybe, maybe you have a mental break down. Maybe, maybe, maybe you just need some advice about what to do. Who knows!

running: Life on the lam is entirely possible, and even though it might not last, you can definitely make a break for it. If you have magic that can help you...why not use it? What do you have to lose? However, know that monitors will be looking for you far and wide. You thought there were a lot of monitors hanging around the city before? Think again, now. There are some pretty good places to hide, like in the woods of the more rural areas, but be warned -- that doesn't mean the monitors won't come for you there, either.

fighting: Maybe you're more proactive in your denial. You don't want to go anywhere with these monitors, and they're closing in...instead of surrendering, it's time to battle! Magic will do you well in this scenario, but monitors do have weapons and tools they can use to try and combat your fighting spirit. These include stun guns, energized-batons and a gun-like device that shoots out magnetized clamps designed to grab at arms, legs...even your neck. Trying to cut through these is also very hard, and once the gun is attached to you? It's also electrical in nature. You'll get a pretty good zap if you don't comply.

capture: So that's it. You've been caught. What does that mean for your future in Shehui? It's hard to say -- but it is for certain that you aren't simply being interrogated in your apartment this time. The monitors lead you to their underground doorway, opening it and bringing you inside. What you find is a totally different building that looks very ornate yet official -- this is the home of the Shehui government. The hallway you're led through is long, and your restraints tighten before your feet are clasped together with a device that's similar to the clamps the monitor's gun spat out. There are hundreds of monitors looking to stun or even shoot you now that you're away from the public. Escape is seemingly impossible...at least for now.

From there, monitors will take you to a holding room that lies at the furthest end of the last hallway you're taken to. It's not that bad for being what is essentially a jail cell -- there's an enclosed restroom, sizable bed and mini fridge. A table, a television built into the side of the wall...and a sign on the wall that lists up to three different names. Even though there's one bed, that doesn't mean you'll be utilizing it on your own:

-- Geir (his own, larger cell -- though it's outfitted with larger amenities)
-- Riza, Jade, Ruby
-- Jusis, Noctis, Julius
-- Madoka, Shirley, Haru
-- Orga, Akechi

The first day, everything is quite quiet. A monitor brings you food, carefully making sure that you can't escape through the door...since they're sliding it through a tiny slit, it might be very hard to squeeze through. That's where you're at right now...Today is day one, and who knows what the next day will bring.

[SPECIFIC NOTE: For large creatures, i.e. Geir's big dragon ass, the monitors are going to be using helicopters and larger versions of their regular weapons. They'll be very cautious in trying not to injure Geir -- more than they would be when it comes to the average coven member -- because potentially felling him from the sky can lead to casualties. If he is captured, the underground door will grow to accommodate him, and there is a larger holding area for bigger creatures. Hallways, however, will be a tight squeeze.]

telepathy: Telepathy can be utilized at any time during your long, hard day, but it may be beneficial to attempt to use it while you're locked up underground. Those who hear your mental feed will find that whatever signal you're trying to send is very faint -- for instance, sending text, the letters will be less than opaque. Voices will be softer and potentially static-y, as well as video transmissions.


In general, citizens of Shehui will take a pretty standard approach to coven members who are on the circulated list. They won't get directly involved with the chase; there won't be many citizens who will put a coven member in a headlock and directly involve themselves. However, they will shout, point at and follow coven members who they know are on the list in an attempt to help the monitors. However, you do have the freedom to create non-standard reactions from Shehui residents. You can say they feel some sympathy, or maybe they're even more violent than the average person!

I don't know if we want to yet! We could hurt the people locked up with us, too. I don't know how the inside of this building looks like yet.

[and in spite of everything, he still doesn't want to harm the people of Shehui every much.]

We'll need to pick the best time.
bulletbiter: (notto disu shitto again)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2018-01-28 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
We should do it when the rescue team is trying to get in, then.

[ It would be a lie to say that he's not afraid of the same thing, but what choice do they have? ]
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-01-28 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Please don't do anything to get yourselves harmed in the process. We're doing our best down here to figure out what else they want and to look for the weaker points in their security.


Not that there are any right now.


[She sounds a little stressed about this...]

[ That's good. They can conserve their energy and use it as needed. Not like her friends on those crosses. ]

You're faint to me too, uh...

[ And this is where she'd put a name. If she had one. ]

...I'm sorry, I don't even have your name. ...I'm Aigis.
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-01-28 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Haru. Sorry we have to meet under these circumstances, Aigis-san.

[She will have to thank her for reaching out when they can finally come face to face.]
mapsio: (Default)

[personal profile] mapsio 2018-01-28 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I am prepared to defend all of you if need be. My power allows for that.

I think you might be right Geir-san! Maybe they really did pick the wrong bunch to mess with.
marakukaja: (❧ patra)

[personal profile] marakukaja 2018-01-28 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's our plan. Well, we can still talk to each other, which is very helpful. I don't think we will head there right away, though. Rushing in unprepared may harm more than help.

[ Worse. Way worse. But she's kind of a hypocrite sometimes too, she knows. Feelings, not facts, sometimes, as a reminder of how far she's come. ]

Do you know what they want with you, Geir?

[ Experiments and the like, perhaps? She wouldn't put it past people. ]
marakukaja: (❧ akasha arts)

[personal profile] marakukaja 2018-01-28 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh, I didn't. I was just calculating how much force would be needed to destroy brick structures.

[ All calm and casual like this is no big deal, because honestly? It isn't. She'd rather not cause any property damage, but human life > property damage. ]

May I also ask what kind of magic you have? Not that I advise using it at the moment, of course, but the more information on everyone's capabilities, the better.
bulletbiter: (princely sparkling)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2018-01-28 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a slight hesitation before he replies: ]

I'm afraid not. I only recently arrived in Shehui, unfortunately.
bulletbiter: (Default)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2018-01-28 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be ready to meet you when you come.

[ Strike from both ends. It'll work. ]
soulcomet: (magi ◠ Thou hast it destroyed)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-28 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. We'll figure this out together, right? I mean ... at the very least, we can definitely keep each other company.

[a distraction sounds like something the both of them could use.]

We can talk about anything you'd like.
soulcomet: (human ◡ we never show our tears)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-28 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The way you say that ... it sort of sounds like you've seen situations like this before.
soulcomet: (magi ◠ prepare yourself for a reckoning)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-28 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[she does understand. smiling through even the worst of what the world has to offer is just something Madoka does; it's wired into her being. sometimes, she probably doesn't even realize she's doing it.]

Okay. I, um ... don't really know where to start, though. What do you think?
bulletbiter: (notto disu shitto again)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2018-01-28 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Exceptional situations require exceptional things. ]

I've kept in touch with Roy. He will let us know when the time comes. [ A pause, while he tilts his head: ] I'll be coordinating with Geir, the dragon. He's our strongest combatant. If I combine what I have with him, then we can at least clear a path for escape.

[ THEY'RE DOING IT. THEY'RE MAKING IT HAPPEN! ]

We might be able to find weapons, but we can't bank on that right now. Can you fight barehanded?
allbroea: (38 ❆ sound of rainfall at the academy)

[personal profile] allbroea 2018-01-28 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ julius being capable of handling himself in a fight without a weapon is news to him. there's a lot to digest in that explanation.

as much as it pains him to say it, with no sword and no arcus, he's not going to be much help against armed guards. he grumbles. ]


Not well. With a makeshift sword, maybe. [ they frown upon nobles punching people in the face where he comes from, tragically. ] Don't worry about me. There are others here who would be as good as dead if they were caught in a fight.

[ more to the point, he sets a serious, questioning gaze on julius again. ]

Geir, I understand, but what do you 'have'?
efface: (DNW39)

[personal profile] efface 2018-01-28 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, it's alright. I'm just trying to get an idea of how we may all be connected.

[ even if she already has ideas. ]

When you say recently- how long have you been here?
deem: (say)

[personal profile] deem 2018-01-28 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hope you won't disappear again after that.

[This is different from when Julius was gone entirely, but still... Being the first human he ever met comes with certain distinctions]
efface: (DNW39)

[personal profile] efface 2018-01-28 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And did you blow them up just to draw them out?

[ because that's....smart. dangerous, but smart. ]

Did they see you? When you blew them up?
efface: (jSOHz)

[personal profile] efface 2018-01-28 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's understandable. This isn't exactly a normal situation.

[ most of what riza has been doing has been trying to calm down ruby, so she understands. ]

And your cell? What does it look like?

[ it hadn't even occurred to him to check for disparities between cells. ]

Shockingly accommodating. They afforded us a television and a fridge, but only a single bed. [ they don't even really have televisions yet where he comes from. the words are dryly sardonic. ]

We also have a table with no chairs and an attached restroom. I checked the walls for vulnerabilities, but that may be the only competent part of this cell's design.

[ Shame. ]
insubordination: (054.)

[personal profile] insubordination 2018-01-28 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ indeed. but it concerns roy that they have a space seemingly designed for keeping large creatures, and . . . ]

I don't believe they would have taken you down there if they thought you could fight your way out, but we can hope the enemy is that stupid.

We can keep that in mind, though.
insubordination: (054.)

[personal profile] insubordination 2018-01-28 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. That route will save us a lot of time and energy. We can't afford to waste time once we're on the inside.

[ swords should be easy to come by . . . relatively. he'll look into it. ]

What were they armed with? Guns, swords, close-combat weapons?
insubordination: (058.)

[personal profile] insubordination 2018-01-28 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

Keep in touch.


[ riza is contacting him every hour. roy won't ask the same of julius, but he will check on him periodically to make sure everything is alright. ]

If the wall can be used to make an entrance, then it can be used to make an exit, too, if you get my drift. Just need someone who knows what they're doing.

[ Which is obviously not him, and he's going to guess Geir also might not be up to the task of using advanced machinery either. ]
rebells: (belaying)

[personal profile] rebells 2018-01-29 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Understood. Thank you, that's helpful.

[He's silent for a long moment, mulling over that information, looking at the list of people who were taken. It's an odd list, containing both genuinely dangerous individuals and relative innocents. What could link them?]

We're working on a plan as I speak. [He hesitates, but--] If you could let me know if they do anything else--if they come back to the cells, for instance--that would be appreciated.

[He wants to add that she can stick with Haru and Madoka, that they're both reliable, but he has a feeling his word won't exactly endear them to Shirley. So he leaves off there.]
