And now we all have a slightly better idea of what we're doing, so that's good.

Here is the third floor map that has the paths on it, for everyone's reference.

Here it is in written form if that helps.

Let me know if you have any questions, things you need clarified, etc!

And that version of mine that went up ic! Shows the shortcuts for anyone who still needs them.

I linked it in my Lounge comment.

demonology detectivefiction Any opinion on when Lloyd and Cas join Lana and L?

(I don't know Lana-mun's plurk or I'd ping them too.)

valentinite There we go!

I think it can probably happen pretty quick?

I'll try to tag today, and what I'll do is have L specifically ask on the radio if anyone is in the room they're in. Or contact them specifically, since he knows they can't be far behind.

He knows they were in the archives and he knows they know where to go next. He absolutely wouldn't go back on the pad into the room they're in without talking to them, though, because

he and Lana were attacked there.

I don't know if Sarah will want to post with Lana once before they turn up, but anything is cool with me, and I agree with her that we can be flexible with thread order...

Yeah, they'll be along shortly. c:

We can have the most likely characters replying to each other.

So let me have him briefly contact them in his next tag and then they can hop in.

Okay!

No need to wait for Lana.

Ffff, ok. I totally got my wires crossed and didn't realize that Cas and Lloyd were in the server room and Link and Sora in the Security Monitor room fighting the nurse.

I thought it was vice-versa, it had been a while since I looked. I haven't written L's tag yet, just the radio thing, so before he goes to contact Cas, I can have him just say out loud that

whoever is in the monitoring room can come through (Lana will still have been broadcasting and I guess he could ask her to stop and watch the incoming pad for monsters? That way Link and Sora can come through.

Or Cas and Lloyd can just tell Link and Sora on the way that it's ok to follow them.

Actually, that's less convoluted, if it sounds good.

Yeah, that's fine! The second thing.

Cool, that's what I'll do.

I think everything that needs to happen from my end for this to continue is set, but Plurk isn't letting me post a link here.

Every time I try, I get an anti-flood warning. So, what would be happening next, I guess, is that Cas and Lloyd would move into the room with Link and Sora, and then into the room with L and Lana,

and then one of them would warn them that Link and Sora are about to come through.

If that sounds all right? That way nobody will be shooting anyone coming in on the transporter pad, since nobody knows whether or not there's a monster in the 1st floor security monitoring room (3rd floor)

except the people who were in there and killed the monster.

Just let me know when you want me to tag with Lloyd next, Court.

I've got all three of these threads on tracking (Lana and L's, the radio, and Lloyd and Castiel's) too.

When I have more time, I need to remember to track down the Link and Sora thread.

Keep an eye on where they are.

dude. it STILL won't let me paste in the link.

It's on the front page of damned_institute

"Night 75: First Floor & Basement Security Station"

just ctrl-f for it.

I was going to link it for you, but Plurk says no.

(Also, I was really super amused earlier when I was rereading stuff from earlier in NS, trying to find where L was keeping his radio, and I came across something I forgot, which was...

he gave Lana a Lollipop Of Consolation over her injured ankle. )

HAHAHA, L, please.

nivisecond: You can go ahead and tag now and reply to what L's said next, and then I can get them moving in the next tag, I think.

latiaos We need to get Sora and Link going again too!

Um, sorry for the dumb question, but I just wanted to clarify.. Are the patient's powers restored in some way or another at this point?

Nope, not yet!

I'm settling in for RP stuff right now!

Do you have a link hurrhurr handy?

Let me get it!

Here you go! We may need to linger in this room a little longer, I just realized, because the next room is the one that L and Lana are in, and the Lloyd-Cas group is supposed to

go past Sora and Link. So we can probably just have them react to the sirens for now.

Okay!

So you might need to edit that last tag...

Sure! I need to go figure out where the sirens are, so I'll get to that in a minute-

Ah, they are right there.

Reading and editing now!

The post I linked to in the top plurk here explains the sirens!

Yeah, got that! (Sorry, slow on the uptake)

Thank you c:

Okay, I moved Cas and Lloyd -- I decided we could just thread this interaction real fast, if that's okay? Nivi, you can go next with Lloyd, and then I'll tag with Sora!

Okay, I'm on it. o/

...man, it has been so long. Has Lloyd met Sora and Link before?

I'm pretty sure Link has met Lloyd! unless I'm confusing him with Scar, but I'm PRETTY SURE

During NS stuff

I know Lloyd met Scar before.

Yeah, I know I've threaded with him, it's just a matter of remembering if it was just Scar

/digs through the archives

I wish there was a way to search for two tags at once.

Seriously. Though I'm pretty sure they've crossed paths during NS!

There we go.

And Lloyd acts like he's met Sora before, so.

I thiiink Lloyd and Sora might have met during a day shift.

LMAO, MY MEMORY.

Thanks for digging this up, guys.

... I should probably edit my tag to acknowledge this.

Go ahead. o/ I haven't even started writing yet.

Not much interaction between Lloyd and Link, so I think it's safe to say they don't know each other that well. Just... "Oh, hey, I saw you the other night."

This is what happens when we go four months without tagging. >.>

Sora and Lloyd definitely chatted during a DS in the Sun Room and talked about 3rd floor stuff.

Oh, yeah, I think I remember that.

Okay, edited. c:

Okay. NOW I'm starting my tag. XD

demonology Do you care that you misspelled a "the" as "th" in your tag? :3;

Too late.

It is Sora's turn now.

LMAO WHOOPS sorry I was out grabbing food.

And yes, it is Sora's turn! I will get to it when I can. o7

nivisecond: Did you want me to move them now or did you want to get a last tag in to Sora and Link and then move?

HDU you interrupt L and Lana's emotional romantic moment!

"we did something useful" it's like the pinnacle of their collective Landel's existence so far. but no, they're both staring grimly into space.

or whatever it is they're actually doing in their actual tags, it's been a few days.

haha.

I can move them with my tag, Court, if you guys are all ready for Lloyd and Castiel to butt in on Lana and L's moment? ;3

(I might not do actual tagging until tomorrow.)

"moment"

go to town!

I'll laugh for an hour straight if Lana hugs him at the end of this.

Awesome!
