Sleep is a Commodity - - A Event The Treatment Rooms Quote: The emergency exit door you all just piled in through SLAM SHUT! There is an audible clank and if tried the door refuses to open. You are trapped. There is no going back now! Face forward and continue the path you chose…. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH -cough, cough, cough- Quote: The hall is dark and dimly lit, it seemed so short and unassuming during the day… not so much at night. Two points of light beckon, one slightly behind you that a dim sign proclaimed the ‘STAFF ROOM’ and the other was a faint outline of a door at the very end of the hall. The hall that is interspersed with curtained voids where anything could be waiting. The premise - Order arrives and is able to break into the alley entrance of the building. Chaos is given prior orders to wait until all participants are in the office before locking the door, trapping all participants inside… with youma and/or officers. Time Length - Overall length should minimally be 4 days before the next part is posted… The Staff Room thread is not the next part Note - Once inside it is found that the door has been magically triggered to seal and trap any and all ‘guests’ inside the building without a specific code put into the electronic pad on the outside of the door. There are no easily accessible windows, the few high ‘vent’ windows are covered in bars. Escape is only possible by moving forward. The Other ‘Room’ - If characters are lucky they will locate the Staff Room where they might want to explore. FAQ- Can this concept/location be used in personal RPs? -- Yes, personally I would suggest setting it prior to the start of the event though XD. I will also be happy to rp with anyone with regards to this - Is it just 500 words per player or per character that would see entry into the participation raffle, and all in the same zone, or just throughout? -- 500 words per character, one ticket per player. This way you can use it for your own monthly token claim as well as the raffle since I will close these threads once they are completed. The word count does not have to be met in one zone, just throughout, to meet raffle requirements. - If people hit 500 words and jump threads and hit another 500 words, does that count as one req or two? -- Basically one thread per rp req, with an exit post in between, as long as the requirements are met, you can't just pop in and out of both of them simultaneously. So in simple terms, 'yes, each thread would count for a req but you must write an exit post from one before you can write an entrance post for the other'

Ptolemy didn’t have the most Earth-friendly of sleep schedules. Being from a world that basically didn’t have day, she had had more of her fair share of difficulty being awake during regular morning hours. She was always more productive at night since it was most like her own world — less starlight and more streetlight aside. But it had made working at Yuri’s cat cafe rather difficult as it opened in the early hours of morning. So, when a shop opened up promising to easily get her to sleep at night instead of starting a project at midnight, Ptolemy took the chance. What harm could it do? She attended her first sleep session. It felt weird, off. But the therapist had given her a crystal and told her to try again. And so, she went back again. And again. But each time, it felt even more off. Was this really how humans tried to get to sleep? It didn’t feel right at all. Perhaps she should have listened to her initial feelings, because things were very much not right. The crystal was what made her question. It looked a lot like the crystals on her homeworld. There was a certain organic crystal that grew on her world. It was a naturally occurring form of bioluminescent crystal. They came in seven different colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, indigo and magenta. They were often used for lighting pathways. But these were nothing like them. The ones on her world gave off their own light. This one seemed to take it. She had now just come to realize that that the crystal was not some Earth way to fall asleep — it was likely Chaos. Urania waited until dark to come back and find out what was really going on, everything about her very much awake despite the time. She’d found her way in the emergency exit… and then couldn’t get out. “It locked behind me! How am I supposed to get out now?”❂

Yuri had been having trouble sleeping for quite some time now. The news that your beloved little sister had been turned into a monstrous youma tended to do that to you. On top of his usual worrying, he was spending night after night looking for her. Any youma he sensed, he was out through the window of his apartment above the cafe and out searching the streets — only to find the youma was not her. He had to get some sleep somehow. He couldn’t continue at this pace. It became harder and harder to feign a normal life. It was beginning to feel like when his world was infected with Chaos and he felt like his life was further and further from Earth… falling further and further from those he loved. So when he heard of ‘At Ease’ from a patron of the cafe, he reluctantly decided to see a therapist. Could someone really help him sleep again with dreams of his sister stalking the streets as a youma filled his mind? The sleep sessions with the therapist started out great. In fact, it was some of the only sleep he was getting. Each session he felt more and more at ease, if you will. At little too at ease. Yuri began to forgot why he was going. Only that the sessions allowed him to sleep. Allowed him to not think. Until he felt nothing at all. It was almost like a drug. He was addicted. He couldn’t sleep without the crystal. He was going weekly to get the crystal recharged. He was too experienced to believe that this could be anything but magic. And a sinister one, at that. Yet that didn’t matter. He was hooked. Addicted. Desperate for the little relief it brought him. Until he found himself at the doors one night, holding the crystal. Desperate for more. The her heard someone inside. Transforming into Erytheia, he ran into the building to find the back door completely unlocked… and heard the click of the lock engage behind him. “I think we fell into a trap.”The bags under his eyes only added to the dark feeling he suddenly had about this place he’d been to many times. How had he been so blind? ✪

Antares had to smother a yawn, the travel through the city had been a relatively quick one thankfully, but it was hard to deal with this late night after the busy day chasing after her daughter. Honestly if she didn't have to be here she likely wouldn't have but her partner, at this point there was no denying that he was at least her partner, had tipped her off to this strange place. So here she was, the page next to her, slipping into the back door only to have it slam shut behind her. "Well this isn't good," She muttered, aware of the small crowd around her. "Just once.... once I would like not to get dragged into a chaotic situation!" The blonde griped even as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. All she could make out was a door off to her side, and a outline of a door down a shadowy hallway. "I don't suppose anyone has been here in the daylight have they? Or have a flashlight?" Antares asked the group, hoping someone could at least give her some idea of what they are about to walk into. Meighei ((Either Erytheia or Urania or both can answer ^_^ or neither if you would prefer XD ))

Urania could hear someone else around her. She stumbled across the room. But then suddenly realized she had been in here before. “Yes. I’ve been here before. I think we are in the treatment rooms currently.”She tried to look around, but only saw the light behind her, in front of her and the sign, It said: ‘ STAFF ROOM’. “I can only see light from over there and there — by that sign.”She knew she could make light with her magic, but she didn’t want to blind anyone by mistake. ❂

Erytheia was very annoyed to find Urania here. What had she been thinking, coming alone? And, also, she’d been here before?! “I can’t believe you’re here, too. Didn’t I tell you not to trust anything you found strange around Destiny City?… you know, never mind.” Erytheia shook his head. “I’ve been here, too. And, no, I don’t have anything that glows unless we start fighting.”He put a palm to his face and let it slowly run down, frustrated and completely in disbelief that they were both this gullible. ✪

Sailor Grieve - enteringWandering the streets, looking for another little agent to get rid of, another pair of ears to set aside for future Fat Mau requests, Grieve had noticed the several order signatures in the area with a distinct sense of glee. Was it a party of sorts, a dinner? Well, no matter the purpose, any gathering could be a party if one put their mind and back into it. The door swung shut behind another body and she had yet to see anyone leave. A secret meeting? Not very, as far as Grieve was concerned. And nobody was knocking to get in either. Unlocked? It didn't take long for her to get bored with crouching a block away. Sneaky was for Alexises. Bursting in where she wasn't wanted was for Grieves. And burst in she did. "Hey ********, what's up?" The deep space senshi slammed the door open and then slammed it right behind her before it had a chance to ominously swing shut on its own. Looking around it was...boring. No food. Zero drinks. Might be a tough job to make this fun, huh? And then she was closing in on Urania and lifting her up by the armpits, " Stargazer! Why the ******** are you stronger than me, I hate this!" The bold yellow senshi was all broken horns, and a pristine basic uniform now, but rather unmistakable all the same.

Urania didn’t have much time to react when all five-foot-nothing of her short frame was lifted off the ground by the much taller senshi. “Grieve?” She said, her starry eyes blinking in disbelief, trying to focus in the dark — and her now higher elevation. “Oh my — Grieve! It really is you!”She hadn’t expected to meet someone from her past life here! She completely ignored that it was strange to know a random senshi from like, a thousand years ago. Perfectly normal. “I — this literally happened, like, five days ago. I found a Mauvian and — poof — I got the mega kawaii star ribbon and my some of my old powers back!”❂

Sigiriya had heard about the business from one of his coworkers. They had gushed about the place and even got a few of their compatriots to go but Sig felt like something was off. Ever since he had learned about just how invasive the negaverse was he been trying to spot anything that just seemed strange. Events, people, plants. You name it he has tried to at least see the item with open, un-biased, eyes. Most of the time he was wrong. Though there were a few times during the spooky season that had him pause. But this time... this time felt different. Especially since it seemed his coworker was becoming down right addicted to this 'therapy'. After discussing it with Antares he was able to convince her to go with him to check it out, especially since she flat out vetoed him going by himself. Sarah went to her grandparents for the night while Antares and himself got their sneaking on. When the door slammed behind them, but no alarm sounded, Sig knew he was right. That or who ever was running this shindig wasn't running it above board since no one who was up to something shady wanted cops showing up. His train of thought was derailed when another joined their little group and seemed to just scoop one of them up. They seemed to know each other, which was good, but still... things seemed really quiet. It gave him the creeps. Quote: ((Feel free to interact with the baby knight ^.^ ))

Amigar hadn't been able to sleep lately. Not only did she have her senhi duties but she also had her bakery. Holidays for the bakery were basically like black friday for the retailers. Expect hers seemed never ending and she had to stay a lot of late nights to finish some last minute orders. Seeing the smiling faces on the people was well worth it. At especially tonight when she finished a birthday cake order. Seeing that little girl smile lit up her heart. She waved goodbye to them and hung up her apron. She did her final checks for the bakery and headed out the back door. Luckily it was dark and no one was around. So she quickly locked the door and powered up with a large yawn. "Well guess its time. Sugar Patrol here we come," she said with the best smile she could muster up.
Sailor Mira felt some auras near by but it felt weird to her. She felt them but she couldn't see them. So she decided she would follow the feeling and before she knew it she found a door. A door that she had never noticed before. She quickly entered and found herself in some type of room. "Hello?" she said as she looked around the room for anyone she might notice. Deme was so tired of these extra study groups he had decided to teach for pre-law. He was happy they counted for credit and paid well, but they wore him out. These classes just were a lot on top of his full schedule - not only that but they made him want to sleep for days. Even though he knew that was an impossible thing to do - at least with his schedule. As he set his bag down in his dorm room, he looked around, and realized maybe what he needed was to go clear his head a bit.
So with that in mind he headed out of the dorm, and down behind his building. For some reason it was super dark back here and no one ever ventured here. So he quickly transformed and head off. Not even saying a word because honestly he felt no words were needed. Tonight he would begin his - patrol in peace.
That peace did not last for long though for Sailor Osiris and before he knew it he found himself in front of a door. The door just seemed odd to him and he knew that normally when things felt odd the negaverse was probably not far off. So he quickly opened the door and stepped inside. As he did the door slammed behind him! It was a super loud bang!
"well looks like I was right," he said with a sigh as he headed further inside. He was ready for whatever came next, but to his surprise he found others. "Well hello there everyone," he said as he walked into the space further. Quote: Order start post lol - feel free to interact with either. =D

Antares wasn't overly surprised that the duo seemed to be familiar with the place. If what Sig told her was accurate the who concept of the store was very popular. The desire for a solid night's sleep was very, very, very strong but having a toddler helped with that so as much as Antares got it, she didn't need it herself. "Ok so we have a creepy hall, a distant door, and a closed door that seems to be a staff room." She paused and snarked, "And here I thought Halloween was over... one last haunted house I guess." The senshi was about to make some other quip when they were rapidly introduced to another person, one with bright yellow skin if Antares didn't miss her guess. It was very obvious that the two females knew each other, which was good, because so far it seemed like they were alone in this office. Again, good. There were even more coming in, which was useful because Antares just couldn't shake the feeling that this was one big trap. One way or the other. "I don't suppose we should do a scary movie no, no and split up?" Antares asked the small group. If they were stuck in here might as well see what they could find. Maybe there was something useful, or at least incriminating. ((Feel free to ignore her ^.^' ))

Damn. The Fat Mau was really holding back. Grieve wondered how many ears or whatever else it would take to get more of her powers back. Placing Urania down, she patted the smaller senshi's shoulder, "We're gonna celebrate your mega kawaii ribbon s**t once we kill whatever we're here to kill, right?" Grieve looked around the room, give a small greeting gesture to the people there and just entering. "I'm Grieve of The Collapse and I don't know s**t about what's going on, but I'm here to kick a** and grind bones." Crossing her arms, she stood guard next to Urania, despite the mentioned difference in ranks. A fighter was a fighter after all, and Stargazer was made for smarter things than direct violence.

Page Celadon of Cybele
That click filled her with a sense of dread. Reaching back, she tried the handle, but found that it wouldn't budge in her grip. Celadon was committed to poking around in the building, for better or for worse.
She'd gotten curious about things as benign as therapy-based businesses when she had heard that the Negaverse tended to set up operations disguised as unassuming things. The last one she'd heard about was the Augusta bank, which was supposed to have been turning people into youma? And while Celadon wasn't sure how that happened, or how such a thing could go undetected, the ongoing suspicions of another senshi over the Food Pillow led her to believe that the problem was more widespread than she would have guessed.
But that was a conversation that she had some time after she first started going to a sleep therapist. Kaðlín wouldn't have bothered with such a thing, but the suggestion came from her mom — something that might help for all her nightmares and sleepless nights. For a while, it had — she slept, and she slept without dreams. But, after a time, she started to feel like she never slept at all. She was exhausted at all hours, going to bed exhausted, and had only the healing crystal they gave her to head right back to sleep after a shift.
It was that conversation with the senshi that prompted her to wonder. It would have only been a peek, just enough to see if this was a legitimate business or not, and no one would be hurt all the while. She might be able to pass it off as simple curiosity of she was caught.
But not like this. Not trapped in the dark room with only the voices of strangers to guide her. Strangers who were calling this a trap. So was this a Negaverse operation after all…?
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" She asked tentatively.

Osiris thought about what the other person said and considered all the outcomes that could happen if they split up. He looked aorund the room and that in itself felt off to him. He hadn't felt it when he walked in, but he definitely did now.
"Honestly I think there is more power in numbers. With how creepy this is feeling, I vote for staying together. I'm Osiris - Super Senshi of Justice and I also don't know whats going on but something is not setting right with me," he said very matter of factly. It wasn't that he didn't think they could survive seperately - but with the negaverse you never know what could be around the corner. Who knew they could even be watching them now. Either way he was prepared to bring justice to them if thye tried anything.
Mira knew that she had the power to at least stand a fighting chance against anything they came up against. Even she had to agree spliting up did not sound like a good idea. "I second that, since even I don't think I have enough sweets in my pocket if this did become a horror film of any kind. Oh and I'm Mira - eternal senshi of sugar!" she said as she knew thowing in her name might be important incase something happened in this room.
Then she quickly checked her pocket to make sure all her baked goods were intact. Something she had done even as a basic senshi. She figured that order or negaverse everyone loves a good treat, and it makes for a good distraction. She smiled and the thought and quickly shook her head. She waited to see what everyone else thought they should do next.
