Signless sat in one of the pews on the huge cathedral-like floor, waiting for his message to be noticed and hoping that those he called would show up.

He knew he had to get this going, anyway. He didn't need that fishy bitch to shame him into it, so it's not like he only came here because she was disappointed in him. It stuck in his wind-tube that she'd probably interpret it that way, though.

Taiki entered the thirteenth floor nervously. He was still wrapped in Gyousou's cloak, despite the fact it looked silly, being so big while he was so small. But it was the only reminder of his king he had, so he was wearing it.

He looked around and saw the man he was meant to meet. He was a troll, an adult one like the troll that had tried to kill him. Taiki bit his lip and walked forwards nervously.

[benigncancer]

Signless sat up in the pew as he sensed someone coming towards him, then got up and shrugged his own cloak back to bare his shoulders as Taiki approached. The child looked incredibly nervous, and he was pretty sure he could guess which one this was.

He tried to smile to put Taiki at ease, though he did have a lot of very sharp teeth, so it might not have worked.

"Taiki, I'm guessing?"

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

Taiki nodded slowly. "Yes... I'm Taiki..." The teeth didn't scare him actually, he was used to Youma and Shirei, "Pleased to meet you SS...sorry is that... your real name?"

[benigncancer]

He blinked, then laughed. "No, that's not my real name. You can call me Signless. Or SS if you prefer, but generally only Psi calls me that. I'm guessing you've been talking to him?"

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

"Oh... sorry that is just... what I saw some others calling you... I don't know Psi sorry..." He shuffled his feet. "Sorry... Pleased to meet you Signless."

[unexculpable]

[Ed noticed the message pretty damn quickly. He was definitely ready to get to work.]

Hey. Signless, right?

[benigncancer]

"Hey," he said, looking the blond kid up and down. "You've got to be Ed, right?"

[RL forever] since well, yeah, obvious.

If you were to look at Minato, you could tell he's had better months than the last one, but hadn't they all? The good news, or whatever one wanted to call it, was that he was as stable as any member of his team could be deemed considering their circumstances.

At least he's recovered since the incident with Suzaku and lacking his Suppressors. He's bit paler than normal, but otherwise, Minato showed no signs of the paranoia that had so badly plagued him not long ago. His arrival is fairly prompt, and for once he is quite serious, headphones hanging around his shoulders and not slouching at all. This is business, and as a leader, there is something he knows far too well: how to be serious when the time calls for it.

"... Signless-san." A nod. Even now, he is still formal, perhaps overly so. ... The loss of Chidori had put him at a major disadvantage--without Medea, he had far less ways of telling what went on in the Tower, after all.

Signless got up as Minato arrived. He had already had a demonstration of Minato's abilities, so he wasn't too worried about that. "Hey," he said in casual greeting. "Everything all right? I'm trying to put together a plan that's pretty much guaranteed to fail and result in our deaths... but we're going to give it a shot anyway. You game?"

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

There's the slightest of smiles at what Signless says from Minato. For one, he didn't fear death. He never had--in fact, he was supposed to die eventually to begin with, so it wasn't as though this was some horrific breaking announcement. Instead, he nods once more.

"... Of course. Lucky for us that I doubt a gravestone will be necessary, considering how quickly they raise the dead."

It's somewhat hard to tell if he's joking or not, considering his deadpan tone, but at the very least, he is certainly serious in regards to helping with this plan.

[benigncancer]

"What's a gravestone?" Signless asked with distant curiosity.

He shrugged. "So the idea is to use Taiki's power to walk through walls - you know that kid? - and get ourselves into the staff elevator. Then we're going to either try to operate the elevator ourselves, or if we can't, then we'll rappel down the shaft with bedsheet ropes and raise a little hell."

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

It took Minato a moment to realize he'd forgotten that Signless may not know about human customs. "It's a stone marking that humans generally place over where the dead are buried," he said, nonchalant.

In other words, an attempt at humor. But that wasn't what was important at the moment, he realized, and instead, shook his head at the initial question on knowing Taiki. Still, it wasn't the most solid plan, but it was one.

"If we can get in, that sounds like it may get us somewhere." The plan meets with his approval, if nothing else, because he hates standing still. "They might also be storing information in the restricted areas," he added. Though one question did remain in his mind...

"What's your idea of 'raising hell,' exactly?" If he wanted to, he could probably freeze the walls solid or set off a high energy spell, if it was destruction.

Suzaku entered the cathedral and found Signless easily. He was more at ease around his roomates now, and though he still felt guilty about trying to harm Psiioniic he was focussed on making sure nothing like that happened again. He held his fathers pocketwatch in his pocket as a reminder. A reminder that they had to stop this.

He nodded at his roomate, glad that they were finally going to try and put Signless' plan into action.

[benigncancer]

Signless nodded to Suzaku in greeting. He was pretty comfortable around the human boy, now, and didn't blame him for his part in attacking Psiioniic.

He settled back and scratched his nose. "So we're going to try to get into the service elevator with one of the staff, and follow it down. Or up. Or wherever it goes."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded standing straight and to attention, as if he were back in the military and recieving orders. "Good idea." He already knew that there was no way they could break it, so sneaking in seemed the best way. "What is your plan?" Because from what Suzaku had heard, the staff had overpowered every person who had ever tried to go against them.

[benigncancer]

"Well, I'm not exactly sure," Signless admitted. "We have Psi now, and his powers, which is a bonus. We also have a kid who claims to be able to walk through walls, and another kid who claims to be able to make anything out of anything else. Between those two, I think we've got a chance."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded, "Those sounds like useful skills." Suzaku blinked, but really after a few months in the tower nothing really surprised him anymore.

"I looked for harnesses, but they must be locked away somewhere we can't go, because they are no where to be found." He and Link had spent an entire day searching, and checking for false panels, to no avail.

[benigncancer]

"What a pain," Signless said, but he wasn't that surprised. "Okay, no harnesses. We'll just have to make some. I can probably steal some extra bedsheets out of the infirmary, and we can maybe just knot them together to make ropes." He frowned. "Is that the lamest idea I've ever had or did it just sound that way when it came out of my mouth?"

[2nd-dii2ciiple.livejournal.com]

"You know, you could have jutht TOLD me what you were planning, inthtead of messaging me and waiting for me to see it," Ψiioniic commented as he emerged onto the level where Signless was waiting. "Considering how difficult it ith to get at the network. Thtupid lack of computers." He and Sollux really needed to get on building one of their own, somehow.

[benigncancer]

"Sorry. I got into a pissing match with That Bitch," Signless said, unrepentant. "And I figured I had better get the word out instead of going to knock her on her excessively pompous ass."

There was no question who 'That Bitch' might be.

[2nd-dii2ciiple.livejournal.com]

Ψiioniic's mouth twisted in something that was almost a smile. "You too, huh? She'th riding my ass for something, I don't know what, yet. It'th hard to tell her 'no' when I know you need her behind you on this, but I don't want her to get the idea that I'm thtill at her beck and call." That, and it was still difficult for him to tell her 'no' at ALL, but he was hoping it wouldn't come to that.

It depended on what it was she wanted from him, exactly.

[benigncancer]

Signless scowled suddenly and sat up, twisting around to face Psiioniic squarely without getting up from his seat. "Don't you dare give in to her for that stupid reason. Really, is your thinkpan working, or do I need to rattle it up a bit? You actually think that I would prioritize being allied with that piece of slitherbeast meat over your safety? If hurting you is the price, then our alliance is over right now."

[2nd-dii2ciiple.livejournal.com]

"Calm down, SS, I don't know WHAT she wantth me for," Ψiioniic soothed him, moving over to his moirail and setting his hand on Signless' shoulder. "It could be thomething innocuous for all I know. We'll see. Just becauthe she'th a bitch and my former owner doesn't mean I should automatically refuthe to do anything she wants of me without even finding out what it ith."

[benigncancer]

"Maybe it does mean that. Didn't you ever think of that?" Signless said peevishly. But he calmed down a little at the papping, scowling at the wood back of the pew in front of him. He didn't like working with the Condesce, even if he did feel it was worth the price. Hopefully. It just pissed him off, out of principle.
