EVENT ★ THE HEIST

[futurologists]

THE HEIST THE GALA The atrium is packed with wealthy attendees decked out in their finest, most ostentatious clothing; most of the guests are the humanlike native Borivoskans, though there are a few aliens at the gala as well. A string quartet plays unfamiliar but beautiful music that floats throughout the atrium underneath the sound of chattering. Almost everyone seems friendly, and some might try to strike up a conversation. Aside from the guests, there are waiters with plates of hors d'oeuvres both strange and familiar. They come from all across the galaxy, and they’re all delicious. There's conversation, drinks, and dancing in the atrium, but guests are allowed to break off from the party and explore the rest of the museum as well. Each of its finest pieces of history are on display, accompanied by roaming staff who are more than happy to share interesting facts about them. And if you want to get away from the crowds, there are a few enclaves off the atrium where one can have a bit of privacy. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE At a precise time during the evening, all recruits' magitek should beam a synchronized, silent notice from George: it's time. Those assigned to remain in the gala should stay where they are (along with those who were not assigned a job). It's here that recruits must keep eyes and ears off the rest of the team as they split off into groups and seek out a path to the stolen Vyri diamond. Mingle, make friends, and drink -- but stay alert, since you never know when you'll need to distract a nosy guard or a curious partygoer. Keep suspicion off your teammates and it'll be smooth sailing. The seven teams assigned to make their way to the Vyri diamond have a number of options. George has provided maps of the museum along with suggested routes, though recruits are under no obligation to follow his directions; the only things you need to do are avoid cameras, guards, and raising too much suspicion, and steal the diamond back to complete your mission. How each team proceeds through the museum is up to players, but we have a few suggested paths: Through the air vents. Across the roof. Through the museum itself. Through the sewers? Any combination of the above. Or your own idea! Whether one or all teams reach the diamond, before they can make their escape, alarms suddenly go off. It seems your heist did not go unnoticed. There's a quick, staticky message from George across the magitek: "Oh no, oh no -- quickly, get out --" But it's too late. No matter where each Audentes recruit is, whether they're at the gala or fleeing from the museum or on the other side of town, they'll suddenly be hit by an immobilizing beam of white light. It's blinding and terrifying, and those who struggle too much will find themselves blacking out into unconsciousness. Somewhere in the distance, the native gala attendees scream. And then -- To be continued . . . OOC NOTES This log takes place over one IC day and two OOC weeks. In other words, the next log will begin directly where this log left off. Hope you like cliffhangers! As noted in this post, application acceptance and processing will be closing 18 June, to be reopened 5 August. In addition, hiatus missions and ALASTAIR-provided AC bank rewards will be closed 18 June to 20 August. Please direct all questions about Leramzen to this thread. Questions about the game in general should be directed to the FAQ. You may submit mission ideas or player plots at any time. COMING SOON: Dedicated hiatus mission page, mission summaries, and more!

[Hayame has not actually drank or eaten since she arrived at this function- besides nibbling on things her lord seemed keen to sample. She cannot deny she is hungry- that equine body of hers required far more fuel than a human's. So with a critical eye she glances between her lord and the nearby tables to judge the quality of visibility...]

Very well. I shall accompany you.

[It passed.]

[Odinson does not offer her his arm, as he would another woman at an event like this. He may not like these events, but he has a mother who ensured he knew how to behave at them.

Together they move to the food table, where he attempts to draw her focus away from the dancing to topics a little more palatable. It is a pleasant way to pass the evening, until other things calls them away.]
