WHAT: The "Monologue With The Moon" player plot!
WHERE: [emphatic shrug]

You are standing in a nondescript, space-age sort of room; the walls are a silver metal so polished that you can almost see shadows of a reflection in it, and the floor is likewise sturdy and reinforced. There are two Star Trek-style sliding doors leading out of the room, one on the left wall and one on the right. Both are currently in open position, enabling you to see out into the corridor beyond; it looks pretty much the same out there as your surroundings in here. Maybe there are doors; you'd have to look closer to check.

Currently in the room with you is a pretty normal-looking wooden podium that's clearly seen some use (though in what ways, you'd have to look more closely at it to determine), and a very abnormal-looking escape portal that's just kind of floating in midair, definitely big enough for even a very tall human to walk through, but for the fact that it's behind an impenetrable forcefield. You're welcome to hurl yourself at this, hit it, whatever, all that you want, but unfortunately it ain't budging under any method currently available to you or your party.

Really, your circumstances look something like this:

The other thing you might notice is that your clothes have received a slight glam-up, in the sense that clipped to a pocket, lapel, belt loop, or other convenient area of your attire is some sort of ID card. That might be worth having a look at.

Speaking of having a look at things, maybe you ought to look around?

Oh, there's you. [ says kaveh, with the tilt of his head. he thinks - this is perhaps the first time he's seen reno in his element, a sharp-lit figure rather than the hazy, smoky light of an untapped bar. there's a brisk edge to his movements that's reflected in his tone.

stun baton, kaveh thinks.
] But I rather like that idea. Though there's five of us, we ought to have some kind of paired system, shouldn't we? It'll allow us to cover proper ground, while also ensuring nobody's facing what's in those doors alone.

[ sadly no stun baton, but it's probably Kaveh who can see most clearly the gap where one would fit into his hand, like this. ]

Pairing up ain't a bad idea. We should probably have at least one person who can hold their own in a fair fight in each group, too.

[ just in case. you know? ]

[ with a rueful shrug of his shoulders - ]

I'm yet unarmed and without my Vision. I doubt I'll be able to fit that bill. But I think Alhaitham may insist on watching my back, so the two of us will be able to get by somehow. If nothing else, he's too irritating to not let whatever that attacks us regret its decision.

Will you think of Johanna or Lestat?
