Shehk passed a look over everybody who was assembled so far. She didn't to tell them to be quiet. They knew what was at risk if they got caught.
"Alright, I'm going to open up this door for you guys. While I'm doing that, I'm giving each of you a small piece of homework: think of what you'll tell Cricket if we happen to get dissipated inside of here." she urged, "Let any others who arrive while I'm inside know that as well, alright?"
With her small request aside, the pricolici faced the door. The change that came over her body was almost instantaneous and for a moment she almost looked like her body was deciding if it wanted to exist or not - turning clear, white and breaking apart in some areas. Then she was gone, leaving only a white mist that began to move through the cracks between the door and the four surrounding surfaces to enter the room to open the door from inside.

"Same thing I always tell her. Training accident." It was true, lately she had visited the nurses office almost once a day due to running Nox's trial by fire course. Showing up again at this hour wouldn't be too horribly unheard of considering it would have been a good time to run the course or any kind of training undisturbed.
Arms crossed she watched as Shehk turned to mist raising an eyebrow slightly as she turned into a faint purple tint in Sammy's vision.
She might have been a little jealous of that ability.

It hadn't taken long before more people showed up. Glancing towards Mitsu and Hel, Shun nodded quietly to them both. He didn't worry about the door any longer as apparently Shehk had that down.
As far as the sharp gaze Sammy had given him, he just narrowed his eyes in return. As long as she didn't decide to start something up, he'd be fine here. He just hoped she would have the sense enough to not stir things while they were doing this. There were more important issues at hand.
While the others filed on in, he gazed to them all individually before glancing to the Pricolici, watching as her form dissolved into a white mist. That was handy.

The more people that came in, the more nervous energy he could feel coursing in his body. Where was the fulminium arm when you needed it? Although maybe he didn't need the auto mail arm to control his energy - maybe he could do it himself. Mort closed his eyes briefly and imagined a closed circuit that ran through his arms, a constant loop of electricity from his fingers until they exited to new parts of his body at the shoulder. As long as the energy kept moving, it was being put to use and not building up somewhere it could release a shock.
And then Mort felt something move by him, and when he opened his eyes he saw a nervous-looking Amrita playing with her hair next to him. He paused, making sure to relocate the circuit a bit higher up in one arm, and then placed a hand on her shoulder in what he hoped was a comforting manner; well at the least he didn't shock her. "Will be fine," he muttered. "B-But stay close."
Not that numbers did anything against traps, really, he just wanted to have something to hold onto or fall back on. The zomboil had become rather touchy in recent times.
Was it starting now? He watched Shehk become formless mist and pass through the walls and blinked owlishly. He still remembered the mist she'd conjured up in the Weeping Forest, but . . . nice.

Taryn had arrived early, remaining at the outskirts of the group and beginning to do her job from the outside. She was a bit miffed that she would not be entering the room to search properly and so no information would be her finding, but she had an important job as well. She had to watch the halls.
...why they thought she needed a partner she'd never know. The ghoul had never quite gotten over the blatant intimidation Hel had caused during their first meeting, back when she had... had wings. She took a post to the right of the opening door, Abigail pointing in the other direction, glancing up, and then to the side again. If the group was found, it was all her fault...

It wasn't that often that the hellhound chose to prowl around in the public areas in his natural form. But the text said it was a sneaking mission and he had to be stealthy. A stealthy hound felt appropriate. he could feel the anxiety over the mission, anxiety mixed with a bit of excitement. every cautious step toward the office made him feel more interested with what could be found.
He only arrived in time to see the pricolici vanish into a puff of dense mist that seeped under the door. "Nice trick there Shehk." he said appreciatively , giving the ghoul a nod that he was sure she missed. It was with that move from their leader that the pup knew that the mission was a go.
He had to hope that maybe later the ghoul would teach him how to do that with his smoke.
A nifty trick indeed.

It was hard for the ghoul not to stick to the shadows and try to be all sneaky when heading over towards Red's office, but she did. Breaking old habits was hard, but she knew that drawing attention to herself by acting sneaky wasn't going to help anyone. Thankfully she hadn't run into anyone, not that there were many people she would have known to begin with. For once, staying in her room most of the time had its perks.
As Imryn got closer to the office, she spotted the small group already gathered there, starting to feel a little nervous about the whole thing. Floating over to the joint the others, she gave a small nod of acknowledgement while nervously tossing her hair back over her shoulder. Her mind was racing with what ifs, and what to look for once they did get inside, glancing a few times at the door.

Mitsu looked to Sammy curiously for a moment before she looked back at Shehk. Watching the Pricolici's body break apart and turn to nothing but mist had her mesmerized. "That's really cool, Shehk." Mitsu said softly, though she sounded truly awed by the ability but she was trying to remain as quiet as possible.

demon_pachabel ...enter the room to open the door from the inside. As Shehk passed through the door, it felt... strange. It wasn't anything like swimming past an object underwater, nor was it like accidentally brushing past someone in a hallway. Shehk was able to slide through the door before something caught onto her, holding her still for a moment before shifting. Her effervescent form slid over runes and mechanical devices before sliding free and reforming on the other side. The back of the door was nothing special. It was easy to remove the bar that held it shut, to unbolt one mechanism at random. Shehk had to throw a couple bolts, then re-throw a couple more before the mechanisms inside the heavy door clicked softly, the door unlocking an allowing the rest of the gathered members inside. The office was very similar to her old one: stone walls, stone floor, stone ceiling. A layer of dust covered everything. Red's massive stone desk was directly in front of them towards the back of the room still cluttered with what the teacher had left behind. As the students entered, the breeze they caused made the wilted flowers perched precariously on a corner of the edge to shutter and gently fall off, crumbling to dust as soon as the fragile petals hit the floor. The vase was perched next to a bottle of some sort, and next to them a box still wrapped. Red's desk was covered with various sorts of paper, pens, and knick-knacks. There were a few books on the desk, possibly from the bookshelf that was pushed up against one wall. There were a couple empty chairs in front of her desk, both made of the cold stone that Red favored. They were the sort of chair that inspired one to sit up straight and on the edge, least the sitter take up too much space in Red's eyes. One of the chairs currently had a closed and sealed box on top of it. The walls of the office were bare. Below them were boxes of various decorations. It seemed that Red never did settle down on where to hang her dart board or pair of manacles. Currently the manacles were flanked on either side by a dart board almost directly opposite of Red's desk, hinting at her twisted sense of humor. Or was it torture? The only light that came into the room came from the window behind her desk, the iron bars running across it giving it the appearance more akin to a prison cell than an office. Thick, dusty curtains have been tied neatly off to one side, enabling the natural moonlight to shine on through. There is a light switch off to the right of the door. The lights are currently turned off.

Shun could hear a number of things from the other side of the door. It sounded as if there was quite a few things that needed to be moved, but before too long, the door had been opened.
"Good work," he said quietly to Shehk before slowly slipping into the room, hissing lightly as his left arm bumped into the doorframe as he entered.
It was rather dusty in here. Though, after months of no one being here, that was to be expected. There wasn't anything that stood out particularly right off the bat as far as he was aware. There were the books and bookcase, but he decided to let someone else investigate that. He didn't really trust his ability to read things well at all.
Instead, the Reaper went over to the desk to see what was there exactly. He didn't disturb anything just yet. The nicknacks and the bottle were curious things, but instead of dealing with those, he moved behind the desk and looked to see if there were any drawers they might be able to sift through.

Shehk was, fortunately, rather good with puzzles and unbolting the door, while it took a minute or five, did make some progress. When she opened the door for the others, she pressed her finger to her lips. "Be careful with anything you touch. Last one in should close the door, just in case." she noted, before she turned to look into the room.
In the dark of the office, the veins of her body were even more prevalent in their glowing state, a walking light as she cautiously stepped into the room. She carefully watched each step she took, taking care to not step on top of anything in particular that might have caused a problem.
However, instead of heading towards the desk to look at the most obviously placed out items, Shehk headed, instead moving over to investigate the book shelf to see if there was anything stashed away on that. She was sure someone else would get the desk and she'd get to see what was on that for certain in a few minutes.
The dark, she did not mind so much, but she had a feeling if anybody saw a light coming from Red's office at this hour, they'd all be more than caught.

Sammy moved quietly through the door, glancing around the room eyes flickering softly as she did. The moon light was just enough to get her by so she had no problem with the situation. Moving to the window she felt a pang of guilt watching the flowers petals fall and dust. It reminded her of how Red's own bones had dusted partially... she shook her head pushing the thought aside before taking a closer look at the package beside it

LOOK-OUT
Hel idly noted that Shehk had slipped in and opened the door for the others. “Good luck to you all.” She whispered, watching as they slipped in after her. Okay then…oh? Someone else was staying on Look Out duty, too? Hel nodded her head a bit to Taryn, and then just remained where she was, looking down one end of the hall and then the other.
The valkyrie was more here for…physically distracting someone if they happened to come by…enough time to get the SEEDs team out, hopefully.

Blade Kuroda looked to see if there were any drawers they might be able to sift through. Shun can see seven drawers: three square-ish rectangle-ish drawers flank either side of the long rectangle drawer that spans the middle where someone would sit. The middle drawer has no visible handles. The other three have ornate handles made out of some sort of metal and bolted to the front of them. demon_pachabel ...investigate the book shelf... There are many books. From what Shehk can see, they cover a wide range of topics from hunting to sports games to teaching 101 to various atlases and boogeyman handbooks. There are also a few books that have no titles printed on their sides, and a few holes in the bookshelf where books went before. In addition to the books, the shelf also contains items used as bookends. There is a bottle with something softly glowing inside, a skull, some sort of metal object, an orb or ball, and a helm. Miliardo Kason ...a closer look at the package beside it. It looks like someone left Red a gift. By the amount of dust on it, it looks like it was sitting here for awhile. The wrapping paper is green, and it is tied up with a bright yellow ribbon. Sammy can't make out what is written on the gift tag: the symbols are unrecognizable, and skewed in many different directions as if the runic letters attempted to wiggle off the tag.

Her eyes closed halfway, who had left this for her? Arel? Cricket? Someone they didn't know who thought Red was just 'off on vacation retired'. It all left a hollow point in her gut as she looked at it. Carefully she picked up the package, "This almost feels wrong..." she mumbled.
