luministi

[ event ; holding out for a hero ]

[Xion looks more than a little panicked. Her face is awfully close to her CAT, and it's close enough to be able to see the tears forming in her eyes.]

The Keyblade -- I can't call the Keyblade! Is -- Is anyone else... Having trouble? I know it isn't really that big of a deal, but the Keyblade, it's... [She hesitates, pulling away from the CAT a bit, brow furrowing.] It's more than just my weapon. It's a part of me -- A part of my heart. So the fact that it could be taken away from me... [She trails off, fear clear in her eyes.

After a moment, she shakes her head, and turns off the CAT.]

[ event ; truth hits everybody ]

[What have you done?

Xion can't get it out of her head as she huddles by one of the windows. She's rubbing her arms and breathing into her hands. Normally, the Organization coat is so good at regulating her temperature, despite what's going on with outside, but... It's certainly not working now.

What have you done?

... ugh. There are more important things to focus on than that.

...

Right?]

[To say that seeing snow staring to fall inside her house was a shock would be an understatement. Even the experience of all the strange things that happen in Luministi couldn't change her instinctive thrill to see snow (so uncommon in Tokyo), and her subsequent startlement at it being inside.

Grabbing her purse and coat she runs to the door and throws it open wide to see what is happening outside. The puffy snow is falling from the sky as well (at least that is normal), and the accumulation is already thick. This is when she notices the footprints that lead away from her door. That is... strange. Coupled with the message on the Guide, it's downright suspicious.

Curious she follows the footprints all the way to the Mayor's house and through to the observation deck. She wonders just how many people came this way because it seems like there are way more footprints than people who have come here...

She frowns at all the displays of the question 'What have you done?' It seems so accusatory that nothing good springs to mind. Besides, the Guide said that they would be told something! This is just another question.

With a faint frown as she considers this new situation she stands closer to the strange fire to ward off the cold.]

It's hard to type when I can't feel my fingers so I'll keep this short.

I've been waiting for a good time to announce this but there isn't one.

When we looked at Lab 3 I got this message:

This time, Ichijou Seiya, I do plan to tell you. I have tried the clandestine method under various disguises, but those offer little joy now, not when you all expect it.

No, this time, you get a bit of truth. A truth that, if your so-called saviors had possessed the forethought, you ought to have heard from the beginning. Unfortunately, we all know what is said about truth, especially if it is a truth that has been kept from us for so long.

There is a switch on the wall by the door to that room. Press it and you will see the "machines" you thought were tasked with returning you to your homes. These are but mere illusion, meant to fool you into thinking there was an actual scientific method of man's doing that could send you across worlds and through various dimensions. A clue to it all lies before you.

But the hard truth is: only two beings possess knowledge of the true way home, and neither are in a position to do so. One, quite willingly, will never do so, and the other won't get the chance to. He tried so hard to save you, but his plans have only led to my gaining an ever-increasing amount of strength over this beautiful experiment.

I have said before there is no escape and that, my dear friends, has never been a lie.

Good-bye for now. I eagerly await your screaming messages at me once more.

The part about the switch was accurate.

I was putting together a timeline for someone and realized: Nathan wouldn't tell me to forbid entry into that room for no reason.

If the machines were a ruse, the only other notable things there were pictures of us.

The pictures are what I was supposed to be protecting. The flash we all saw as we arrived here may have been a camera taking a picture like I originally thought.

That's all I have for now.

Find me if you need me.

[Something Willis does not enjoy: Snow storms. No, really. They are cold and wet and only okay during more festive times.

Something Willis does enjoy? Snow stopping in time to make it to the observation deck. He's almost in a good mood when he finally steps inside.

... And then he sees the message. He shifts uncomfortably, fighting back a wave of paranoia as the message sinks in. Did someone in this room somehow doom everyone to staying in this city? Did he do something without realizing it? Or does it just mean nothing at all, and someone will pop out with streamers and happy news and --

And maybe he's over thinking it. That's what he'd prefer, anyway. He straightens up his posture, casually folding his hands behind his head in an attempt to act indifferent.]

It just never stops, huh.

[The snow falls in great flakes from the sky, covering the walkway that's sprung up out in the lake. The one that connects to what looks like some sort of tomb, with a stylized metal man of some sort on the wall outside the great, heavy doors. It has voices, as well, drifting out into the cold - a young girl and a man, both with English accents.]

You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.

Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit...?

A bit short? Oh I shouldn't worry about that, look at Jamie's.

[From the expression on Jamie's face, the girl's voice strikes some sort of cord deep inside - and his own reply is barely a murmur.]

Victoria...

[Some time passes before he notices the footprints, but once he does, he - like everyone else - starts to follow them, eventually making his way to the fire in the observation deck. As he's rubbing his hands to try and warm them, he looks up to see that question scrawled across the many screens in the area.]

Och, that can't be good.

(OOC: Feel free to run into Jamie at the Cyberman's tomb or on the way to the observation deck or at the deck itself. Just let me know which in your reply!)

[Croix was already at the Observation Deck when the fire pit appeared. ... Thanks for that. He probably would have had a slightly more comical reaction if he wasn't still a liiiittle on the angry side - as it was, he simply twitched, glared at it, and then looked around for any other changes in the room. And that scribbled message on the wall? Was definitely a change. Since then, he'd tried to make his way out, suspicious about what staying there could mean. No escape, huh? It figured.

So, he's been here. Pretty much just waiting for everyone else to show up. He's standing, arms crossed, leaning on his shoulder against the glass, and just looking out at the stars. Every once in a while, he glances back at that message on the wall.]

I think it's a safe guess that more trouble's on the way.

[And he is not looking forward to whatever is coming up next...]

((OoC: Do please come bother him! Or poke him via CAT if you're not quite there yet! Hell, if you want to mingle with others using this post, we can make this a mingle post. I don't care~ have at it, yo. o/))

Scenario A: [What a thing to wake up to. A light drop of snow rousing her a little earlier than she would have liked to. Seriously, was it actually snowing inside of buildings and outside too? That seemed to be the case.

When the message is read, there is suspicion.]

unbending_spirit

[a CAT activates to show a girl with her brown hair tied back in two ponytails under a red scarf, wearing a uniform. someone looking closely might also notice the white flower wrapped around her finger. she is standing in front of the vidscreen in the bedroom where she just woke up, her arms wrapped around herself to fight off the cold as snow, impossibly, falls around her inside the room. but for the moment she's focused on watching the Mayor's message--except, at first glance, she doesn't realize it's recorded]

Luministi? Again!? [she stares. but she swallows her worry and tries to be polite to the figure on the screen] Hey, um, Mr. Mayor? I'm sorry, but I can't be here right now. I can see there's some...trouble...going on. [she eyes the snow] But there's something really important that I have to go do first, so could you send me ba--

[but she cuts off as the mayor remarks that he's not there in person] What!? [surprised and annoyed, she steps up to tap the vidscreen] What is this? Some sort of...radio? With a picture?

[she steps back again, utterly bewildered, and listens to the rest of the Mayor's message, brushing snow out of her face and stamping her booted feet for warmth as she does so. and as it ends, she unwraps her arms and clenches her hands into fists in frustration] But how did I get here? Why am I here again!? I have to go back! Randgriz is about to be attacked!

[knowing that her words are falling on deaf ears, she sighs and whirls away from the screen to head out into the main room of the townhome] Hello? Is anyone here? [seeing the gift basket, she riffles through the contents, mumbling to herself] It's like I'm supposed to live here. But why? Half this stuff isn't even good for winter! [she quickly abandons her search, not noticing as the CAT attaches itself to her uniform. she goes to the door and steps outside, starting to shiver by now]

Fuu? [as she walks away from the townhome, she turns in a circle to look around. cupping her hands around her mouth, she calls:] Hey! I-is anybody here?

How do I get out of here?

[noticing all the footprints on the ground, she frowns at them, bending down to get a closer look] Wait...has everyb-body left already? [she straightens again, calling one more time:] H-hello! Anyone out there?

[The weather, as of late, has been gradually turning darker and colder ever since the expedition to Lab #3. Only in the past few hours has snow begun to fall in torrents of large, heavy flakes, the ground soon blanketed in thick, puffy snow--and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere for now. Oddly, the snow isn't restricted to the outside portions in the town. It's started to snow in every single building, every single lab--with one exception. The vast observation deck out on the spacestation remains relatively snow-free, though the lowering temperatures still persist.

During the storm, a figure, unseen by any eye, makes its way towards the observation deck--or so it must have done from the many tracks leading through town towards the Mayor's mansion (as well as through the many sections of the lab to) and all these ownerless footsteps lead to this snowless venue. There, a fire is lit in a pit that doesn't require any wood to continue to burn brightly. It's a picture of this brilliant, contained fire that is sent to all the CAT devices with a short message attached:]

Everyone, come to the observation deck. There is something you must be told.

[Nothing else comes after that, but for a brief time, the snow lets up for everyone to make their snowy treks. Once they are on the observation deck, they'll find the snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds will keep them from going back--but there will be no sign of the person who sent that message. The person did, however, leave a final message spelled out across the many screens on the observation deck opposite the glass windows where this nebula cloud and others can be seen. The screens are all black except for the white, hasty handwriting that reads:]

What have you done?
