Event: Quarantine; Part 4

[animusmods]

Downstairs
There's nothing new to note until Saturday--by this point, floor 100 is clear, but floor 101 remains stubborn, and the dormitory levels still remain blocked entirely. Finally, though, Riki announces the results of the recording work over loudspeaker:

"Looks like there's been a bit of a psychoradiation leak. Nothing major--no one up there should be dead--but it can have some odd effects on that area. You're going to need to clear a path for the worker units in an emergency staircase. Be careful and don't work in the area for more than an hour or two at a time."

A door has appeared, apparently out of thin air, on floor 101. The rubble will have to be cleared a bit to open it, but it leads to a side staircase that goes up into dormitory floor five. It's completely blocked with debris, and no superhuman abilities work here, but it should be able to be cleared in a day or two. Unfortunately, the psychoradiation has spread into this side area...

Anyone clearing rubble from the emergency staircase should post here.

Upstairs

There's another delivery of sparse supplies via the small elevator: five more bottles of water, five nutrition bars, and a salve that will heal minor to moderate wounds at an accelerated but not immediate rate. There is enough salve to treat three minor wounds or one moderate wound. Instructions are written on the jar the salve comes in.

Unfortunately, the strangeness of their surroundings has only gotten worse. Anyone trapped upstairs will see flashes of stark white hospital rooms and children that live within them. Sometimes they'll be convinced they can see guards and doctors of all sorts wandering by, although at other times they'll know they're just looking at a solid door. They can hear it, though, constantly--all the sounds of an impossibly high-tech medical facility, except with an ominous air unusual even for hospitals.

From somewhere, a child will whisper "be quiet, okay?" If your character speaks above a whisper at any time, or makes noise louder than that, please post here.

QUESTIONS

[animusmods]

[attheclocktower]

Will they still be able to see the doctors and guards and such in Room 5-14 considering that the lights are off?

[withani]

Does the staircase only go up to Floor 101 or can overly curious characters try to explore elsewhere (not that I think they'll be really successful getting anywhere since Floor 101 but regardless)?

[warriorscribe]

Was the announcement audible only to the downstairs people or to everyone?

ROOM 5-14 MuNS ARE FLL OF QuESTIONS SORRY

[bloodyashes]

Sheba is planning to snag some of the salve for Asch's mouth - he'd sniff it before letting her try, though so would it smell like a thing you'd want in your mouth for the foreseeable future?

And if he does decide to let her, what would it taste like? I'd assume awful but...

CLEARING EMERGENCY STAIRCASE

[animusmods]

Make sure to include which character is cleaning, at what time of day they are working, and how long they stay.

[alephbet]

Aleph Sinclair is clearing for the two and a half hours leading up to sunset.

[scentofmakai]

Zett Takajo is clearing for half an hour before midnight.

[bashfulshifter]

Rick here will be helping out! He'll be working early in the day, from 8 AM until around 12:30 PM, before room fatigue kicks him in the pants and he naps in the infirmary (or something else horrible happens).

HIT ME

[woodpeckermaruta]

Ganta will be working to clear the debris and will work until he drops. So... several hours on end? He'll rest for a short amount of time, then go right back to it.

[alae]

Dark Pit will be clearing for an hour or two until he needs a rest, and then after his rest will go back to clearing.

... Unless/until shit starts getting super weird, then he may back off for a longer period of time.

John Egbert will be clearing from 8-10am and again from 3-5pm. He'll only stay on floor 101 for those hours that he's clearing, and will otherwise be on another floor entirely...probably sleeping.

He wants to get his friends out but, jeez, he's not stupid enough to ignore what Riki has to say about psychoradiation

[technologic]

April will be cleaning from 7am-9am, 8pm-10pm and then 3am-5am. She'll be on floor 101 while cleaning and then be on another floor when she isn't.

[undefines]

Nue is A REBEL, but which I mean she's extremely contrary and will purposely be, if not cleaning, at least skulking around the stair case for more than two hours. I don't know exactly how long, since when she would concede it's a good idea to leave would depend on how weird things get, but maybe from about 7 p.m. to 9:30 or 10?

[withani]

Dani is going to be working a couple shifts, first around 10:30am to 12:00, although she'll get curious and spend an extra 15-30 minutes at the locked door trying to get through it.

Next will be 3:00-4:30ish, and last will be 7:15-9:00pm.

[sicharia]

Claudia will be here from about 2 to 3 in the afternoon.

[undroppedeaves]

Sam will be clearing for an hour and a half to two hours at a time, taking breaks in between.

He thinks they should listen to Riki but welp can't let everyone else do all the work!

Re: CLEARING EMERGENCY STAIRCASE

[ambassadorasshat]

Luke will be clearing mostly from 10 am to noon, 2 pm to 4 pm and 7 pm to 10 pm. Any other time he'll be trying to sleep (at night mainly) and eating, when the cafeteria is open. (At least a quarter of this 'work' will probably consist of elevator trips to and from the cafeteria)

He'll probably try to ignore weird stuff unless it gets TOO weird. Then he'll go hide in a lounge.

[gradosfinest]

Amelia is clearing for about two hours around sunset.

[ajealouswind]

Kain Highwind is clearing the staircase early in the morning, for about two to three hours.

[duplicitousringleader]

Dio will be working on the emergency staircase from about 6 pm to 8:25 pm, lingering a little longer than recommended because he's trying to find some way to get back in here and use it to his advantage later on.

But he'll fail miserably because once freaky shit starts happening, he won't be going anywhere near the rescue efforts again. You mofos can drive yourselves crazy, he'll be down in the cafeteria drowning himself in wine to forget whatever it is he sees.

[earthshards]

Terra will be helping clear the rubble in the evening hours - probably anywhere between 6 PM and 10 PM, for roughly two and a half hours (if he keeps track of time). If not, then he's there the full four hours.

[humility]

Aqua will be clearing! She'll have to rest and recover in the morning after pushing herself for the past few days, but she'll work on it all afternoon, at least.

ROOMS

[animusmods]

If your character is speaking above a whisper or otherwise making noise, please reply to this comment. Make sure to include which room your character is in, what they're doing specifically, and what time of day this is occurring.

Re: ROOMS

[firstnothing]

What might happen if someone, while they can see other people outside, attempts to flag one down without actually saying anything? Xemnas won't actually call out or pound on walls, but might try other methods.

Edit: uh, 5-12, middayish?
