The what?

[Unholy_Pariah]

((Must... escape... through... conference...))

[MrVoid]

((Does Kevin's power immunity beat my emotional detection?  Going to assume yes.))

[Scood]

((The entire reason he uses the power on some level almost 24/7 is because of masters. I'd be surprised if the emotional detection did work though))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Im under the impression that the drains arent blocked by forcefields because that would defea the purpose of having a toilet.
Im basically phasing my shoulder into the toilet so that the forcefield is in line with my armpit then im sliding my arm through the wall of the plumbing on the other side of the field and grabbing the device that way.))

You are entirely correct. Just making sure I understood your intent.

Elena and Selina head to the conference room and await the arrival of those not yet present.

So they do. There are a few others present, mostly heroes--Argonaut (right at the front of the room, preparing his presentation), Bullhit, Momentum, Prefab, Scatterstep, and Sliver. There is also one bloody man that looks familiar to Selina and Delphinium, but they can't place him. Thalsian has no such issues--he recognizes Selina immediately.
[16]
Delphinium notices something...odd about Argonaut's mind. It looks exactly the same, but...it's like rereading a book you loved as a child and realizing that it was a metaphor for the Holocaust or promoting misogyny or really badly written or something. The same main-mind, second-mind thing that is in Selina's mind is sort of present in Argonaut's, except that the secondary one, the angry one in Selina's head, is more orderly and more subtle, almost absent. Now that she recognizes it, she sees it present in Bullhit, a little stronger.
What's going on?

((Does Kevin's power immunity beat my emotional detection?  Going to assume yes.))

((It's blurry, and emotional control completely absent, but you can still sense the emotions. At this level, it's more strong power resistance than outright immunity. Not that Delphinium would be likely to notice that at the moment.))


Steven leans into the toilet, through the plumbing system, and out of the force field. It feels odd when he sticks his arm through the pipes with water in them, like the "him" is expanding, almost losing cohesion a little. He has begun reaching around for the force field generators--the PVC pipe was placed right between four of them--when his thoughts are interrupted by Slither.
"You aren't making it easier for yourself by trying to escape, you know. First you don't even pretend to show remorse, now you try to...escape, vandalize, whatever? I was hoping that this was a misunderstanding, a mistake, but this is seeming less and less likely."

[MrVoid]

Delphinium re-checks the other heroes and any PRT members for that strange second mind.  She moves to the side of the room and motions for Selina and Sliver to do the same.  If this was going to be a problem, she would rather be ready for it.  "We may have to engage Master protocols, Argonaut and Bullhit are different."

[Scood]

Thalsian remains seated but keeps a particular close eye on Selena and those around her, then the rest of the various capes in the room in passing. Let's see they have sliver and a ward member...what was her name... Dolphin or whatever. Kevin made a mental note to recheck the publicly available information on the Toronto wards.

Delphinium re-checks the other heroes and any PRT members for that strange second mind.  She moves to the side of the room and motions for Selina and Sliver to do the same.  If this was going to be a problem, she would rather be ready for it.  "We may have to engage Master protocols, Argonaut and Bullhit are different."

_{"M-m-master protocols... wh-whats wr-wr-wrong...?"} Selina looks pretty nervous and afraid now.

[MrVoid]

_{"Well, I'm considered a Master because my powers involve control, Master protocols are implemented when someone from the team is potentially compromised by a master. That said, i'd like to go above board with this and talk to Slither before he gets here. Sliver, do you know where he is?}

[RangerCado]

Selina looks really worried now, trying to not shake a lot in fear.

[MrVoid]

"Selina are you alright?" Her shivering was a perfect excuse for them both to leave, Elena pressed her hand then brought her in close and whispered, "_{Play along.}" Drawing her head back she declared, "Selina appears to be getting sick. I'll be taking her to the doctor. You can start without me."

[RangerCado]

Selina plays along perfectly... more because shes shaking in fear of whats potentially happening. She follows at a stumbling gait.

[Scood]

suspicious... and probably a manipulation trick. The Dolphin talks to sliver in a hushed tone ((and not to Argonaut in a regular tone.))
"Do you need someone to come along." thalsian glanced at the speedster. "just in case."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Delphinium re-checks the other heroes and any PRT members for that strange second mind.  She moves to the side of the room and motions for Selina and Sliver to do the same.  If this was going to be a problem, she would rather be ready for it.  "We may have to engage Master protocols, Argonaut and Bullhit are different."

Nope, just them. That she can see, at least.
"_{...Different how? Different from when?}"

_{"Well, I'm considered a Master because my powers involve control, Master protocols are implemented when someone from the team is potentially compromised by a master. That said, i'd like to go above board with this and talk to Slither before he gets here. Sliver, do you know where he is?}

"Slither's probably talking with someone."

((As you might guess, Slither's return is dependent on finishing his chat with Steven. Or on 11 o'clock coming up. Or someone bringing up a major problem, like Bones or a Terror or a Master possibly controlling capes.))

[Scood]

((oh shoot i misinterpreted the situation. editing post before someone replies))

[MrVoid]

Fuck, was this guy the master?  All Elena could read from him was suspicion and even that was difficult. If he was the master this could be a ploy to get them alone, but if she left him here the others would be left alone with him and his two thralls. She sighed, "Fine, you can come.  Sliver, if you wouldn't mind coming with as well, I want to continue our conversation."
