[~Neri]

Kevak waves at it.

[WillowLuman]

HugoLuman feels rooted in place. On one hand, he's sitting out in the open here, in complete darkness, completely vulnerable. On the other hand, it's completely dark, which leaves him fewer options for finding a hiding place. And said hiding place might not be safe. Maybe he should try to reach the others. Or find that racoon before it got mad from no one watching. But what if he blundered into another bot on the way? Or broke a rule? What were the rules anyway, aside from no running... Over the clamor from the vents, he can hear some footsteps on the other end of the arcade, emerging from the South hall it sounds like.

Meanwhile, in the Office, Quasar leans towards Arc's ear. "Think it's clear to go to the generator now?"

Kevak waves at it.

It continues playing its song, staring at him with its head backwards.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

(At this point I've probably got some of my bearings and know I can't run or fight so I've probably gone out of my blackout state and be shouting for help)

As Iton is being dragged along he begins shouting for help

[WillowLuman]

HugoLuman hears Iton's voice from the vents overhead and tentatively heads towards it. It's not much, but it's probably better than sitting around in the darkness. Perhaps he can follow it to see where he comes out and help there.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Iton waits till whatever is dragging him along comes to wherever it is headed to, he shouts for help and uses his free hand to keep himself safe the whole way through

[GentlemanRaptor]

GentlemanRaptor pulls up his NVGs and looks around.

[WillowLuman]

((Still have no idea how much those actually work in complete darkness, so going with this for now.))
((People not active at the moment are still in the office, so the Knight would probably be going after them. Then again, they'd probably have fled, so should I just assume they did?))

GR can dimly see, in quite grainy picture, the North hall around him. The doors into the two bathrooms, climate control, the severed tail lying next to the door back into security. He can't quite see into the arcade, the end of the hall being dark, but he can see the walls enough to get a sense of direction.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((what happens to Iton? or are we just waiting for others to post?))

[WillowLuman]

((Waiting for others to post, for timing reasons. Could really use a response from Arc but if he doesn't by the time I get back from class, I'll move things along.))
((Note: you'd still be able to protect your head from bumps, I think, but since one arm is dislocated you'd have to use the hand holding the axe.))

HugoLuman couldn't be entirely sure, but he believed he was now directly underneath the source of noise and shouting in the vents. Before he could start following it, though, he heard something walking in the same direction (and, faintly the whir of servomotors). He didn't get any danger sense but he stepped aside. Whatever bot it was it seemed headed in the same direction as the noise, so, nervously, HugoLuman began to pace along behind it.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((ok))

[~Neri]

((Civ models of NVG's do what eyeshine does for animals, just more blury. Military versions tend to have multiple systems to enable sight.))

[WillowLuman]

((So, needs existing light to work with. Well, I'll let it slide for now, we could just say that Tech lit the hall with her flashlight instead.))
((Got one more class, gets out at 3:20 PM. I'll move things forward if Arcvasti or someone doesn't post IC by 4 or so. Unless that's unfair, since people might be (and probably are) busy))

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((Isn't there existing light from the wisp?))

[~Neri]

((Light from outside the building should also work. Pitch Black Darkness can only be found inside specialized rooms or miles underground.

[WillowLuman]

((Wisp is with Quasar and Arc in the Office. GR's in the North hallway.))

((Light from outside the building should also work. Pitch Black Darkness can only be found inside specialized rooms or miles underground.

((The building has no windows aside from those at the front, where due to the entrance being inset and the glass being tinted the light only comes in at such an angle to illuminate Reception, with bounce illuminating part of the entrance hall. Ambient bouncing all the way to the furthest corners would be so little as to be indistinguishable from pitch blackness by pretty much any optics. The strips on glow-tape on the South wall of the arcade (and the South Hall) only emit enough light to make themselves visible.))
