[WORLD TWO | THE OTHER HALF]

[spellbindmods]

Who: Others not on the list of the Chosen 12
Where: Around Shehui
When:
Open/Closed: Open to All, though top levels shouldn't be made by Chosen 12 members -- however, direct telepathy links can be sent to Chosen 12 members, and Chosen 12 members can respond to open telepathy prompts. This post is meant more for those who aren't part of the Chosen 12 so they can react with others or plot their next move.

[ While your name isn't on the list that has been circulating, it doesn't mean that you're unaffected by this issue. Did someone you know -- someone you have a fondness for, perhaps? -- wind up on that list? And did they manage to evade the monitors or have they been captured?

You may have the resources to do something about it, or you may want to stay out of harm's way. Either way, changes are on the horizon -- and that horizon is now looming closer than ever before. ]

[ wow! this blows. ]

They've detected our signet, but it appears as though they can't monitor what exactly we're communicating.

We can't remain idle — and we won't. I'm on the recreational floor — if you've any interest in pursuing this, see me.

Exercise caution. All of you. Watch one another.

And Siegfried: I expect to see you first.

[ and lo and behold, he will be there if you choose to show up. ]

B.

If you can hear this, describe where you're being held — we need a location. Don't lose hope. We're still here.

[knighthooded]

dont know who you are
but if youre up for getting people back ill come find you

[lohengrins]

I am — and I fully intend to.

I'll be waiting. You may call me Percival.

[knighthooded]

cool
im dave

[who comes to the recreation room soon is a teenager in shades, carrying a sword under his arms, and looking about as deadly serious as Percival probably feels.]

Yo. You the Percy dude?

a.

[sigfried]

[ First came the announcement, and then came the consequences of such a broadcasted message. To be fair, Siegfried didn't know any of those people on the list well, however as far as he was concerned he didn't need ever need a reason to help an innocent stranger in need. That also being said, it is good that Percival had thought to send out the message to the brunette when he did, because otherwise he'd have gone off on his own right into the fray.

Sure, he would've come up with a plan -- as much as he could've in the heat of the moment without it being downright completely foolish -- but there was still a lot of risk in taking such bold action by oneself in a still-unfamiliar setting.

It doesn't take very long for Siegfried to show up on the recreational floor. To be honest, it's unavoidable anyway; he needs to pass through this floor to get to the lower floors from his own. ]

...Have you already something in mind or are you waiting for anyone else to show first?

[ A plan, that is. If not, they could either discuss it now or make it up as they go. ]

[lohengrins]

[ honestly, it's somewhat of a surprise that siegfried even showed up.

not that percival intends to show that anytime soon. he lifts his head, turning to meet siegfried's gaze as he sets his myriad of maps down. ]

We're planning an infiltration.

[ a pause. ]

...I know well that's your field of expertise. More importantly, someone has to keep you in check — you hardly know anything of this land or these people. I have no intention of watching you fade into oblivion.

[sigfried]

[ Well, something about those last words Percival said sound familiar. But ... he decides to just file that memory away, as an enigmatic smile of sorts briefly settles itself upon his lips, albeit briefly. ]

I appreciate the worry, but I'm not about to do anything too foolish.

[ His eyes flicker briefly over to the pile of maps Percival had. ]

Still, you do know more than I do about this city. It'd be helpful to know anything in particular about the layout I may have missed, among other things of course.

[ Amanda scoots into the room, one hand in her pocket and the other holding a broom over her shoulder. She takes a spot a little off to the side, eyeing up everyone else who's showing up - wondering if they can put together the right kinda group to make this work.

If nothing else, she needs to know where everyone's at, because if this all falls through she'll just go on her own. Sure, that probably ends poorly and she knows it, but standing around is gonna give her ulcers or something. ]

Hey. You're the first person who said anything about doing something, so I'm here.

[lohengrins]

[ a valid reason — and one he'll gladly accept. he's sitting on a table, looking through what appears to be a series of maps of the city. ]

Any reason is a worthwhile one. At this rate, we'll be decently equipped. First and foremost, you power — what is it?

[witchwithoutacause]

[ She's already made all kinds of promises to rescue people and got super sappy, so she just wants to try and be cool now.

It's a fact that, even before this, she was raring to go, though. ]

These guys are... pretty bad.

[ Understatement. Anyways, she holds the broom out, and just hops up onto it, floating a few feet off the ground. ]

I can fly on, uh, cleaning... things. Like brooms and mops. I can't show you indoors, but I'm plenty fast.

JAILBREAK JAILBREAK

TONIGHT THERE'S GONNA BE A JAILBREAK Well perhaps not tonight, really it's a matter of tactical optimization, really. We don't know very much about where they're being held, what sort of facility it is, what defense systems are in place. Ah, this is proving to be quite the problem, isn't it?

HUMANS WILL DO AS HUMANS DO, I GUESS!!

[lohengrins]

Screeching is unnecessary.

We've been informed that the target location is a prominent government building. We can only go from there.

[ SIGH. ]

It is a pain. But if they intend on waging a war, we've no choice but to bring the fire. Your power — what is it?

[gimmecandy]

My apologIES BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING I CAN CONTROL, SORRY!

As for my ability, it's the manipulation of kinetic vectors. I don't want to insult your intelligence if you already know what that entails SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK!

a;

[marakukaja]

[ She doesn't reply to the initial message, but she shows up at the proposed area nevertheless. It doesn't sit right by her to simply stand around and do nothing while there's something like this going on.

A seemingly young, slender teenager in a black longcoat makes her way to the lobby, unarmed and apparently unequipped. ]

...Are you the one to meet?

[ Blunt and to the point. Though she's usually professional and courteous, perhaps she's getting down to business a little too quickly. Hasty. ]

[lohengrins]

[ blunt is good. it's appreciated, if anything. his eyes continue to scan over the maps splayed across the table, and he doesn't bother to spare her a glance as he speaks. ]

Yes. What are you capable of, and what do you want to do?

A.

[insubordination]

[ there's really only one option, here, and that's to 100% take advantage of every person willing to storm this place so he doesn't go on a suicide mission and piss off riza more than she likely arleady is. ]

They have my best man.

I'm in.

[lohengrins]

They won't be keeping him.

What are you capable of?

A

[deem]

Not exactly hard to find those, considering.

I'm making some rounds in town, but I can be there in a few minutes. Is that alright?

[YoRHa don't waste time either]

[lohengrins]

It was only a matter of time.

It's fine. But don't get reckless out there.

[ whenever he arrives, fortunately there'll be more individuals present within the room — it's become quite the get-together, but percival'll still have his gaze trained on a particular set of maps. ]

a

[talim]

I admire your initiative. Just make sure you be careful, too. We can watch one another, but we don't know just how closely they're watching us.

[ after his message is sent, though, jude doesn't waste time meeting percival in the recreational room. ]

Percival. It's been a while.

[ jude tries a smile. it's a little forced, all things considered, but it's there, a small thing. ]

Tell me what to do, and I'll do it.

[lohengrins]

...Understood.

[ in this instance, he puts down what's in hand — the maps, as per usual — and simply places them onto the makeshift array of tables behind him. the smile he returns is small, but a smile nonetheless, no matter how fleeting or subtle.

for the meantime, however, he will spare him the platitudes. ]

...I'm a novice healer at best. You know medicine — and you know it well. If possible, I'd prefer if you could lead our healers in the right direction. Are connected to any of the victims?

A

[spaceforged]

If you have a plan, I'm in. But, my magic isn't useful for stealth.

A bit hard to be stealthy as a several-hundred-pound, flying metal lion. If you need a distraction I'm a good enough flyer to keep them busy for a while.

I'll come see you shortly.

[lohengrins]

That lion of yours may come in use — we need a means of transporting the victims. In conjunction with illusion magic...

Hm.

I'll see you shortly.

[ the room's not bustling per se, but it is buzzing the slightest bit — however, percival makes an effort to acknowledge who's entering this time, arms folded as he meets his gaze. ]

I'll assume you were the one I just spoke to. Your ability: what is it?

b.

[efface]

We're being held in an underground facility.

[ the connection isn't great, but riza can make out just enough of what is coming through to respond. she has to keep doing something or she'll get restless. ]

Very little contact, and everyone seems unharmed. No indication why we're here.

[ but she remembers the lines of monitors she passed. the hallways she was led down. ]

They are staffed, and well. Don't do anything rash.

[lohengrins]

Understood.

Have they done anything aside from detain you thus far?
