Let's do some digging

Characters: The participants in the Hacking plot
Setting: The elevators and the network terminals, July 14th
Format: I'm going with action tags but you guys
Summary: Hacking the elevator down to the administrative levels is probably becoming a regular occurrence. Meanwhile, another group does some real digging on the network for hopefully vital information.
Warnings: Possible death in the decoy thread. Will edit if anything else turns up

[Archer regards the eye coolly and waves his hand at the request, opening a gate but not calling anything through it; the portal emits a golden glow that easily fills the limited space of the elevator.]

So they are watching us. Nothing to be concerned about. [Yet.]

[They are the distraction, but that doesn't mean they can't be smart about it. ..Though now that Riku has done the equivalent to kicking the door, it doesn't really matter anyways.

As for Arturia's question...]


The only other time I tried this was that time in Riki's room... it got us to the button, but it also triggered his defenses.

[He shrugs then, his free hand lifting as he conjures a flame ball... he can't hold the magic in place for long and grimaces when it extinguishes after a few seconds, but hopefully it would be enough for what Xion needs.]

I assume it's the same now.

[At least as far as the defenses part goes.]

[The eye stares unblinkingly at them for some time. Eventually, it turns red.

A computerized voice sounds in the elevator.]


Please speak your destination.

Unless someone objects OOCly

[Arturia speaks up without hesitating.]

Riki's office, if you please.

[Not as suicidal as Jason's and gives Riki more reason to be upset at them during the punishment.]

Pl-pl-please h-h-hold on...

[The elevator lights flicker on and off before settling on off once more. There's a strange sound, like someone crawling on the outside of the elevator.

Then the elevator starts moving, and there's a ripping and tearing and shrieking, like the movement crushed some unfortunate creature.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-07-28 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Something in the shaft.

[Obviously. Arturia had stepped forward upon hearing it scrambling outside, just in case it decided to burst in, Caliburn ready in her hand. The screeching had disturbed her, but she did not let it show on her face.]

We might see bits of it when we exit the elevator. [If they exit the elevator.] Be careful.

[The elevator descends, but it's moving more slowly than usual, in fits and starts.

The eye still stares at all of them, unblinking.]

[Riku doesn't flinch at the noise, but he does tense a little, and he doesn't even think about reaching to settle his free hand on Xion's shoulder and squeeze it lightly - partly to comfort her and partly to reassure himself that she is fine.]

It was probably just a monster.

[Or so Riku hopes anyways. ...Though they would probably have heard if there had been anyone else attempting a trip downstairs tonight, so that is the most likely.

Still he tightens his grip on Way to the Dawn and trains his eyes on the exit. This time he is going to protect Xion, no matter what comes.]

[The elevator stops completely. It does not open.]
bowandblade: (Who do you think you are?)

[Archer actually frowns when the elevator comes to a stop, tilting his head at Xion as if in askance, since she was the one working on the elevator.]

We could not have reached our destination already.

[Then he's eying the elevator floor, as if expecting it to open up underneath them.]

[As soon as Xion touches the panel she will find herself being electrocuted. It's not enough to kill, but it's extremely painful.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-07-28 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Xion!

[She pulls the girl away and glares at the eye.]

Do you mind? That was rude. [It's a computer, yes, but with that eye feeling like it's watching them and it not allowing them to touch it, she feels like she should say something.]

[The computerized voice speaks again.]

Access de-de-d-d-denied. Please exit the elevator.

[Of course, the elevator is still closed.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-07-28 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We need the door opened before we can leave.

[She's kneeling by Xion, checking her fingers and then pulling off her own white gloves to let her use instead.]

Can you please open the doors? If not, then can you take us to the nearest available level where we will have access if it's not too much trouble?

[Politeness seems to be working for whatever that eye thing is.]

[Riku is crouching down by Xion's other side, not hesitating for even a second to cast Curaga over her - he just hopes that it will help with worst of the pain. He then glances over to the eye, frowning at it.]
