VLDR - Shut Up and Dance

[Hawkwing425]

Yeah, I'm sure th' guy who told us t' pick th' thing up told th' people inside ahead a' time that someone would be here for that specific thing. Or maybe he was as vague with them as he was with us. He's weird like that.

[Arcthurus]

"...We do our deliveries with our own men. Lady, I repeat, this is a private property. This is your final warning."

He has his hand placed on a gun by his hip now.

[Arcthurus]

Elizabeth walks forward towards the guard. He whips out the pistol and points it at her.

"Hey! Freeze!"

[Arckas]

Alrighty. Let's be going guys, we clearly have the wrong house.

[Schultz128]

Are you just gonna shoot an unarmed girl point blank who's just asking to see the guy in charge?

Not only do you gotta explain that to the cops, but you've got 3 other witnesses here. So you've either gotta kill all 4 of us and plant evidence, or let me speak to your fucking boss.

[Arcthurus]

"...That would be the U.S. president, Miss. Don't worry about me. Covering up is what we do best." He smirks.

[Hawkwing425]

Wait. Is this a federal building?

[Schultz128]

Ohh, I see, CIA spooks. Gotcha, gotcha, that's the end of that then.

[Arcthurus]

"You could call it that. It's classified. You don't need to know anything more. Now, I'll ask aga--"

He is cut off as Elizabeth jumps towards the guard, getting shot in the chest -- thankfully protected by the bulletproof vest -- and tackles the guard to the ground. He tries to get her off from him, but she pulls a knife and slices his neck wide open in one single swing. His scream is deafened by the gurgling blood.

[Hawkwing425]

Cool. Does he have any security stuff on him? Like keycards?

[Arcthurus]

Elizabeth takes the gun, stands up and flicks the bullet away from her vest.

[Schultz128]

Lotta good secret service did him, huh?

Come on, I doubt we're gonna be getting through quiet with that gunshot.

[Arcthurus]

Elizabeth finds keys and a keycard on the guard.

[Arcthurus]

Elizabeth uses the key to unlock the chain fence. She walks to the warehouse door lock. The scanner looks like a keycard reader, a slit to swipe it on the side. She holds up the keycard -- it bears the emblem of a flower, and the word "Wisteria" written on the front. She tries the keycard on the scanner. It gives what sounds like a positive beep and the door clicks, unlocked.

[Arcthurus]

The four walk inside the warehouse, Elizabeth leading the way with machete in hand, Belladona shortly after with katana on one hand and taser on the other, Azelf and Ivy covering behind with sledgehammer and twin daggers respectively.

The inside of the warehouse is very lousy, dust lining the floor and the contents. It looks like a large storage space, with rows and rows of boxes and shelves. They all look the same, and you do not see any doors except the ones which lead outside. There has to be something here worth protecting with guards, but how can you find out what-- and where-- it is?

[Hawkwing425]

It's got t' be hidden. There's no way they'd just have whatever th' hell we're gettin' unguarded, if it's important enough for Richard t' want it.

[Chemist1422]

"M-Maybe the keycard is a clue?"

[Hawkwing425]

If so, keep an eye out for anythin' flower-y.

[Arcthurus]

Belladona looks up for something on the ceiling, there's nothing notable up there.

Elizabeth tries to go through the labels in the boxes and shelves, they all look to be miscelaneous stuff-- movie props like mannequins, clothes, and what have you. She fails to find anything related to flowers, botanics, vegetation, etc. Everything in the shelves looks abandoned-- possibly untouched for ages.

[Hawkwing425]

Uh... secret compartments, maybe? I'll check th' walls. I don't know.

[Schultz128]

...this is a setup.

I don't like this, at all.

[Arcthurus]

Belladona scours the walls for some sort of secret compartment, but doesn't see anything that pops at her.

Ivy looks down at the dusty hard concrete floor for something, but doesn't see much at her feet other than her own set of footprints.

[Chemist1422]

"W-Well...what else c-can we d-do?"

[Schultz128]

...hey.

Did you guys have dreams last night?

[Hawkwing425]

He called this whole game a movie earlier... an' these are movie props. What's he tryin' t' imply? An'... I wouldn't know. Time hasn't been... right. I think that's 'cause th' Fae... but I've had dreams all th' times I have slept...
