Turn 29 Begins"...I'll take that as a 'no orders'. Proceeding independently."
Analyze structure. Determine optimal route of entry. Preferably without being too overt. Considering that I wear a pistol holster on the exterior or my chassis, do guests seem to be allowed to carry weapons? Could I pass myself off as security, either for the theatre or a patron's bodyguard?
Regardless, proceed. Priority for methods of entry are as follows: 1: Disguising self as security/armed guest, and entering with pistol. 2: Entering unseen via window, drainpipe, etc. 3: Entering as a guest, leaving my weapon with security.
[5]OP-TR carefully scans over the outside of the structure, looking for any way they could sneak inside. Up on the third floor is a window to some manner of room- what's even better is that it seems to already be ajar! If OP-TR could scale the building then it could conceivably enter through the window. The only other route that doesn't involve being accosted by the guards for openly carrying firearms would be a large drainpipe that descends from the left side of the roof.
However, OP-TR may also be able to convince the guards that they have been assigned as one of the patron's personal body guard.
Whether that works or not is entirely up to how they approach the situation, and partially to fate itself.Nix whispers to Anthony: "So, are you gunning for the main target or the secondary one? I'd prefer not to get in your way regardless, but if you want help I'll do my best to be nearby."
Survey the area for any emergency exits, and see if the guards by the entrances are frisking people for weapons.
"So, Nix. Do you see the bar? Or are we expected to get drunk in our seats? Oh shoot! Not you guards, hah hah. I was makeing an expression. Nix, I forgot to give the Roomba orders. The Roomba. You know ... The Roomba."
Look about for emergency bar entrances and see if there are seats at said bar.
From what Nix can tell, nobody is being frisked for weapons. One individual who carries a pistol at his waist is forced to disarm, so it would appear they aren't approving of open carry. As for emergency exits, there appears to be one such exit designated as a fire exit and warning of an alarm that will sound if it is disturbed.
Antony, meanwhile, appears to be suffering(?) immensely at the hands of the high-purity alcohol he partook in back at HQ. As he stumbles about in search of more liquor, he
[3]trips over his own two feet and lands harmlessly on his knees.
He's definitely drawing attention..."Well, Impressive."
Mana looks at the threads.
"If you would lend me a few threads, I can grow some more cotton to stem the bleeding."
If it accepts, I'll wrap them around his hand and grow the cotton. As well as healing his hand with a plant Substitute Nervous System.
Jack shrugs, handing threads to Mana. Having allies may be better in this situation - after all, they're all working towards a common goal.
"Thanks. You aren't half bad yourself. Exsqueeze me for my lack of experience in this sorta ordeal, but how do you think we should approach this issue?"
Meanwhile, he covertly scouts the area for any non-obvious entrances - windows, backdoors, or any place that isn't far too heavily guarded. Of course, his head is now not as alarming to strangers, but the giant hat still isn't entirely too common for normal people either.
Mana Sol is clearly impressed by Jack's sewing skills. She sees his wounds on his left hand and cringes a little, offering to help by growing cotton to stem the bleeding. Jack complies and hands her a few thin strands of thread.
[6+1]Mana Sol's attempt to grow the threads into cotton goes horribly wrong. As the threads twist and mutate at her touch, the threads wrap around each other and merge. Soon they are wiggling; this motion surprises Mana Sol, who drops them to the ground. In only seconds, the threads have elongated and twisted into a vaguely serpentine shape. While Mana Sol stares open-mouthed the thread-snake writhe away at surprising speeds through a nearby grate.
Jack shrugs (for a second time) at this sequence of events. Leading Mana Sol around the outside, the duo scouts for any other entrances into the theater without so many eyes on them. The two find an alternate entrance at the back of the building that is apparently for theater staff only.
Nobody appears to be guarding... so perhaps this is the best route?I'll head in now that everyone else has entered.
Osmond walks up the stairs to the entrance before being stopped abruptly by the guards. With his shield on his arm and sword at his hip, Osmond looks considerably out of place. The same process that happened to both Nix and Antony when they reached the doors happens to him, except he notices his letter has a special seal on it denoting him as the "personal guard of the esteemed Doctor Wittenreisen". After they see this, the guards are more than happy to open the doors to him(and let him keep his weapons, too).
He arrives in the lobby to find Nix standing over a kneeling Antony, the latter of which looks rather intoxicated.
They just got here and already things are turning into a mess...Turn 29 Ends
