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?"

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.

"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."

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.

[benigncancer]

"You bury your dead?" Signless asked, nonplussed. And with a rock on top of it, it'd probably guarantee no wild animals would have a chance to feed on the corpse. What a waste.

He got the joke, though.

"I figure it depends on what kind of reception we get. I don't intend to hurt anyone unless we have to," he said. "But I also don't intend to just let them kill us or take us prisoner. We'll get some answers, and see if we can find whoever's in charge."

He listens intently, letting the first bit slide. He'd forgotten that of course there'd be small cultural differences, but nevertheless, there were probably far more important things at hand. He was mostly glad that Signless was the type who was, like him, hoping not to hurt too many people unless it were necessary.

"I doubt we'll be getting a warm one, but... it'll be worth the risk if we can get somewhere, I suppose. Just so long as no one has to be critically injured unless necessary. There's been too much bloodshed lately."

Far too much. Minato pauses before adding one other thing, expression neutral but serious.

"What can I do to help?"

[benigncancer]

Signless nodded. There had definitely been too much, and that was why he intended to try to stop it. "I could really use your versatility in this. Do you have any magic that might contain without killing?"

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

Minato did not hesitate in his reply. He knew that if he were careful, it would be very easy to do exactly that.

"... I tend to use ice magic a lot. If necessary, I could probably freeze them without really harming them. At the very least, it would slow them down."

He didn't think it would be hard, to be honest. Thanatos was, after all, a personification of a type of Death. Death was cold. Minato was primarily an ice magic user, and he was good at what he did. He could probably coat an entire hallway in thick sheets of ice if he wanted to, though it would be somewhat tiring.

"Ice, huh? Sounds good to me. Maybe we can use it to damage equipment, too, if we need to. Ice makes things brittle." He grinned at Minato and nodded. "We'll have to play it by ear, but if we get creative, maybe we can surprise them and really hit them where it hurts."
