Rebellious Beginnings
The Warehouse
# The Warehouse, 22:24

Luci Simonetti

Luci was last to enter, and the portal closed after him. Traveling through the threads of time and space had always been an interesting ordeal for him. It was like swimming but there was no water, just matter. It left a lot for him to inquire about alternate universe and magic itself. He emerged out of wall covered entirely in the type of glass used for mirrors. The location the group had been sent to was layered in darkness, which was simply because no one had turned on the lights yet.

"Yo, Charles!" he called out. "Lights on." Just like that, the lights simultaneously flickered on, illuminating the space. The esteemed "Warehouse" was humungous. There were electronic sliding doors around the room, possibly leading to closets or living spaces. Holographic Computers booted up, projecting on walls, in the middle of the room, and in some people's faces. One screen took up the whole of the wall on the opposite side of the room, showing video surveillance on what could supposedly be the rest of the Warehouse. The current area they all stood in replicated a modern lounge, with a television hovering over a gaming console, an arrangement of bean bags, loveseats, sofas, etc., even a kitchen with endless cabinets and two fridges.

Luci walked ahead of the others, jumping over a sofa and landing in a bean chair. He expected the others to sit down as well so he just began speaking. "Welcome... to the Warehouse!" he exclaimed. "This is actually a subdivision of the Mirrorworld—or if you want to keep it simple, my Mirror Realm."

Will Deneris

"Charles," he repeated before snickering, "it's like Siri. No, no, it's Tony Stark's thing. Has anyone seen age of ultron or whatever? Does Charles speak back?"

He gazed around before muttering a huh. "A bachelor pad," he mused, "I *so* have to get one of these. Any drinks around here, I'm dying."

Castor raised his eyebrows at the warehouse before plopping down on a couch. "Hello, MTV, and welcome to my crib!"

"I'm actually surprised to see a place like this right now," said Amy before sitting down on a bean bag.

"This is quite the elaborate setup you've got here," commented Jude. He noticed Zero walk by again without saying anything.

"This place looks like it costs a million fucking Aurem... the hell, Luciliano?" she commented, plopping down in a loveseat.

Kye Hanbyeol

Zero, less of a subconscious action than anything else, sat on a sofa and stared at Jude like some sort of silent *get over here*.

Luci Simonetti

"Ooooh, I've seen that movie. Honestly kind disappointed in Ultron but eh, Hollywood's Hollywood." Luci grinned, snapping to turn on the television. "And nah, haven't given Charles a voice yet. This place is like a year or so old... I add more stuff to it the more I learn about Mirror Realms." He clicked his tongue and stood up when everyone had settled in. "Basic information you're gonna wanna know about this place: this place works the way I want it to. Only specific people can enter it, only certain things can be in it, etc. Which means, you ever wanna enter this place, you're gonna need something special." A drawer pushed out from the wall, and Luci grabbed eight bracelets from it and tossed them to the others. He didn't care if they caught them or not, that was their issue. "I'm going to be generous and donate this place as headquarters. Find a reflective surface, make sure you're wearing the bracelet, *Ad Novum Locom Warehouse* and wala, you're here."

Will Deneris

"The first one was the best but Civil war was *epic*," he said. *Bloody Twerp. Never got into Marvel before she came along.* "So much better than DC to be honest." He caught the bracelet with ease and twirled it around his fingers.

Jude took the bracelet and looked at it for a second before sitting down next to Zero. "Do you know what's happening here?"

me, myself, and I

Kye Hanbyeol

He shook his head. "Why would I?" he whispered back to him.

Luci Simonetti

"...I'm going to pretend you said nothing, Will." He clapped his hands, the screens around them came to life with the monitors he once showed before. "Jude, Jamie, you're on watch. It's too big of a risk to have you actively intrude. Too many recognize you, and it'll be over immediately. Your job is to keep watch and keep us updated." As he spoke, the government profiles of Jude and Jamie appeared on the screen to the side of them. "Group One: Zero, Castor, Lucia, I need you to retrieve a set of documents written in Heathrow, located in the basement of the... Special wing." Likewise, their profiles appeared too (Zero's, of course, being the fake profile). "Group Two: Yunseo, Will, Amy,  you're going to get this processor and translator so we can easily analyze the files collected by Group One." Soon they were surrounded in profiles. "Everyone understand?"

He glanced to Jude before looking to Luci with a slight frown.

Will Deneris

He shrugged in response, still twirling the bracelet around his fingers.

Amy didn't say anything, only glancing at Yunseo and Will.

"While that's a fair point," said Jude, "although we'd be recognised within the palace itself, we'd be recognised *outside* it as well. It's not everyday you see two Councilor kids casually hanging outside the Empress' palace. It would look odd at best and suspicious at worst."

me, myself, and I

Luci Simonetti

"Oh... You thought you were keeping watch *entirely* outside of the Palace... I'm sorry Detective but I'm surprised you made such a deduction. You're watching the entrance to the wing. There's a reason I picked this night specifically too. The Empress meets her council today, so it wouldn't be strange for their kids to be wandering around inside the Palace. I think it's known fact you don't enjoy these Council gatherings, yes?" he looked at both Jude and Jamie as he said the last part.

"The only thing you'll need to worry about is if the same person or group of people come by multiple times and notice you haven't moved." He snapped his fingers, the screens around him changing to show them a diagram of the bracelet Luci had given them. "These bracelets also record sound, so that's how we'll communicate, in case anyone gets lost or gets attacked... speaking of that, Yunseo, is the only healer here, unfortunately. So I suggest that you don't try to get yourself killed often." The bracelet thing was a lie, but he was not in a million years revealing to anyone he could use the Dreamscape. It was his secret weapon and he'd like to keep it that way.

"Oh, great. Another unnecessary title. I personally hope you all injure yourselves so I can watch you die," she said flatly.

Lucia Wright

Lucia ignored Castor, mentally deciding to chop Luci's head off when he sleeps. Blinking over at Yunseo's words, she said, "charming." Slipping the bracelet on, she tapped her foot against the ground.

"No one likes those meetings," he muttered.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She narrowed her eyes at him. "I think they look interesting," she said.

"Take my word for it--and Jamie's as well. As someone who's personally been to quite a few, I'd rather be anywhere else but there." Jude faced Luci again. "As for the fact there's a council meeting today, that should reduce suspicion. The rest is left to Jamie and I acting natural, I suppose."

"Where would the translator be located, by the way?" Amy asked.

Posted on 12:57, September 25, 2017 (UTC)

Cas looked at the bracelet before loudly speaking into it. "Hello? Helloooo? Do you like listening to my smooth-like-chocolate voice, Luciliano?"

me, myself, and I

Luci Simonetti

His voice did not resonate from the other bracelets, instead, the sound of Castor's voice multiplied in decibels in Luci's head and he yelped, clutching it as he squeezed his eyes shut and hissed. "Don't do that!" he exclaimed, almost angrily. "Aish... Okay, let me... let me explain how these bracelets work more elaborately so my head doesn't explode."

Kye Hanbyeol

He studied the bracelet for a second but he didn't know jack shit about technology so he slipped it on and looked back up at Luci.

Luci Simonetti

"These bracelets... are connected to this—" he held up a pendant eerily similar to his own amulet except the fact that it's crystal gem was entirely silver, flecked with dots of white. "It uses the Sol that my body produces to connect to my nerves system. Which means I can hear all of you in my head. So don't yell. Unless it's an emergency." *Or we could just say these bracelets are connected to my dreamscape abilities...* "Please?"

Will Deneris

He raised the bracelet up to his mouth and yelled into it. Just to make sure it worked.

Lucia Wright

She watched Will and Castor before sighing. *I'm surrounded by idiots.*

"I, umm," Amy started, "don't think yelling into Luci's head is a good idea."

Castor Blaise
Posted on 02:52, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

"All this gem and Sol and tech stuff is getting complicated. I'm gonna pretend it's Dreamscape stuff since it sounds much less complicated."

The Detective
Jude Aster
Posted on 02:52, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

He cleared his throat. "When do we begin this mission?"

me, myself, and I

Luci Simonetti

"Preferably tonight, but at the rate, this is going, I might have to invent a spell to freeze time," he sighed, glaring at Will. He ignored Castor, although his words put him on edge. "We can access an underground escape route from here that are used to dispense..." ~~assassins~~ "...supplies. When we get above ground, Jude and Jamie will take your places by the entrance, and I'll give the two groups a digital map for you to follow so you don't get lost." ~~*or attacked*~~.

Will Deneris

He looked towards Amy and frowned, "but look," he said gesturing to Luci, "I don't think it works. I think I should yell louder."

She stifled a laugh. "I really don't think that's necessary."

Posted on 03:21, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

"Then let's head on, shall we?"

me, myself, and I

Luci Simonetti

Luci walked around the sofas, bean bags, and chairs to a door across from it all, which slide open as he approached. "Follow me."

Posted on 03:29, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

After being silent for some time, Yunseo stood and followed Luci without a word to the others.

Will Deneris

He followed, pulling out a smoke, shoving it into his mouth, lighting it.

He raised an eyebrow at Jamie before glancing at Zero for a moment, then entering through the door.

me, myself, and I

Kye Hanbyeol

Zero followed behind Jude, reaching out to grab his hand.

Luci Simonetti

The room they all entered had a circular mirror disk in the middle of the room, imprinted on the floor. Holograms crowded the walls with monitors and graphs as Luci activated the mirror.

Will Deneris

Neither he or Jamie was too impressed by the sight but Will sighed dejectedly, extinguishing the smoke or else it might damage something.

The Detective
Jude Aster
Posted on 04:20, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

He momentarily held Jude's hand before emerging into the room.

Castor whistled. "We teleporting through that mirror?"

me, myself, and I

Posted on 05:40, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

"No, we're teleporting through the walls," she shot back.

Will Deneris

He discreetly rolled his eyes at Yunseo. "Jesus," he said, "someone needs to reteach you sarcasm. You're terrible at it. And yes, I imagine we will be teleporting through the mirror."

He frowned over at Will, "okay," he said, elongating the word, clapping his hands together. "Let's not start an argument or I will shoot myself in the head."

me, myself, and I

Will Deneris

"I would pay to see that," Will pointed out, grinning over at Jamie before looking at Yunseo, as if challenging him to say something back to him.

J.Abdus.Salaam.H

He narrowed his eyes over at Will, frowning. "Die in a hole," he eventually said before looking at Luci, "can you hurry up? This dumbass is making me question why I'm currently sober."

Amy sighed exasperatedly. "Let's just... Let's get on with the infiltration."

me, myself, and I

Kye Hanbyeol

*"Aish, childish brats,"* he muttered in Korean.

Luci Simonetti

*Note to self: Assemble teams that aren't annoying as fuck and can still work properly together. I'm even starting to doubt the last part.* "The portal is set up, jump in and shut up," he ordered, leaning against a pillar.

Posted on 13:10, October 1, 2017 (UTC)

Naturally she went first because even a few seconds between the threads of time and space away from these idiots would be heaven. Talking to Cassandra was so much better than this.

Will Deneris

"Really that depends on how functional you are under the influence, now I remember this one time I got drunk off my ass and, man, I was more effective than I was sober. I got the-" he broke off as his eyes slid over to the group of assassins in the room, "job I was doing in half the time. And I don't remember any of it. Fucking great."

Lucia Wright

She walked past him, giving him a look, judgement clear. "Did your mother drop you as a kid or something? Or are you drunk right now?"

Will Deneris

"That's *actually* plausible. She could have. I don't know," he said, following her.

Lucia Wright

"Are you the type of guy that has mummy problems?"

Will Deneris

"*Are you my mummy?*" He asked, his voice high pitched and as Lucia opened her mouth to reply he raised a hand, "and if you say you don't like that show, then it is cemented, I do not like you."

Lucia Wright

"I can live with that," she said, "no one exactly likes you either." With that, she disappeared into the portal.

Will Deneris

"That's not true, Amy likes me," he said, following her into the portal.

"We're going on a dangerous mission, not a date," he reminded Jude. "But... thank you." He let go of Jude's hand, feeling slightly empty at the loss and entered the portal.
