Joshua Tristan - Galactic Empire - Stormtrooper
The voice was back again after he took the costume. He looked around wondering where the person was because they were clearly watching. He bet it was from a security office, no doubt, but at least that meant they had a decent security.
He turned with a grin as an elevator opened up, illuminated in the darkness. He was to go up to the fourth floor something, he was amused by. May the 4th, way to play it up Adventure Port. He headed over to the elevator pulling on the helmet, ammo and blaster. He looked at the lights on the costume glowing in red. He wondered what they were for, almost reminded him of something familiar.
The doors closed and he pushed the button to take him up to the 4th floor, a ride which barely took more the a few moment. Clearly there wasn't anyone waiting on any other floor. The elevator stopped and he expected to be let off, but the door remained shut. He frowned wondering if this was apart of the event. He guess maybe, the elevator had clearly been sent down by someone.
He waited to see what would happen.

Ren Nakahara - Rebel Alliance - Light Robe, Blue Lightsaber
Ren had been pretty excited about this since the first time he had heard about it. He was a total nerd, and he was quite happy to meet a bunch of other nerds. His sister had pretty much rolled her eyes at him and told him to dork out on his own so when he approached the pillars he was alone. Which was okay with him, he'd be able to make a couple new friends here if he was lucky. If not, he was sure he'd still have fun on his own. The museum seemed to be dark inside, but the door were open. Maybe it was just meant to look that way. Shrugging his shoulders, Ren stepped up to the nearest pillar and grinned. They were even giving out costumes? Sweet. Without a second thought (even though the disembodied voice was kind of creepy), he grabbed up the light colored robe and tied the sash around his waist. The blue lightsaber came next and he tucked it and the blaster in the sash, hoping it would hold up for whatever was going to happen inside.
The next time the voice came on, the effect was less creepy as it welcomed him to the Rebel Alliance. He gave the voice a salute and murmured, "And also with you," as he stepped into the elevator, pushing the button for the fourth floor as instructed. While he waited he toyed with the lightsaber, making the zhoom noises as he wielded it with a laugh. He kept it in his hand as the elevator came to a stop, standing with the expectation that the doors would open to let him out.
Except that didn't happen. What the hell? His heart raced a little; being stuck in an elevator was not something he'd ever experienced before but movies always made it out to be something terrible. He tried not to think about elevator related death scenes from movies as he tried the button to make the door open or to sound an alarm but nothing seemed to work. "Oh. Great. Awesome. Not."

Alerana Ikaros - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes
Once Rana was decked out in her new costume, the voice returned with a thematically appropriate response. They made it easy to get into the feel of the whole event, didn't they? Hail to the Empire! (Or whatever the appropriate response would be. She honestly had no idea) She threw a salute in the general direction of the voice and headed for the elevator.
Following the instructions, she went inside and pressed the button for floor 4. The doors closed and the elevator rose, then in a few moments it stopped with a ping. She waited for the doors to open. Then waited a moment more, thinking maybe it was one of those ones that had a slight delay between stopping and opening the doors. A few moments later she started to get worried.
"Um...that doesn't seem good" she commented aloud. She started looking around, wondering if there was a camera in here so whoever was running the thing could see there was a problem. Or maybe they had one of those fire emergency call buttons. Elevators were supposed to have those, right?

Mi-Hi Harrington - Galatic Empire - Dark Robe
Whilst Mi-Hi admittedly didn't know much about Star Wars, it would have been hard to miss the adverts about the upcoming Star Wars-themed party that was due to be held over at Adventure Port.
It had sounded like fun and the movie marathon that was going to be held in conjunction with the party seemed like a good way to catch herself up on the movies and so after checking with her parents Mi-Hi had gone and signed herself up.
And whilst her parents had not been particularly thrilled to find out that the event was starting at midnight, the fact that it was being held at Adventure Port meant that she had eventually been able to convince them that she would be okay.
Her father had dropped her off near the entrance and given her stern instructions that she should call him if needed, before leaving her to make her way in which had been something that Mi-Hi had been relieved about because when she reached the museum entrance proper she had found that the museum appeared to be closed - although given that the doors were open it obviously wasn't.
She was however a little late as she walked over towards four pillars that appeared to be the only source of light, her green eyes taking in the costumes when prompted to make a choice before she reached out with a hand to snag the dark coloured robe.
She wasn't expecting the pillars on the right hand side to suddenly go dark, as she held onto the robe but she stepped forward and into the elevator that was revealed and cheerfully pressed the button to the 4th floor.

Sheldon Hobbes - Rebel Alliance - Belt and Sash
While it was nice to see the others that had ventured out for this special movie marathon (well, that was a relative statement), getting stuck in the elevator with them wasn't exactly the most awesome thing to happen. He could at least take it as a good sign he didn't know anyone, so perhaps he could be spared some sort of conversation as he just made his way into one of the back corners of the elevator to blend in and not be noticed. Let the others figure it out for now as he just sat there in a bubble of irritation.
Though, Sheldon did pull out his phone to see if there was any reception. Just in case. And to pass the time with a game of solitaire.

Minoru Sasagawa || Galactic Empire (Stormtrooper)
Minoru couldn't help an amused little grin under the shadow of his Stormtrooper helmet at the voice commending his choice. Okay, maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as he thought it'd be.
When the elevator lit up to the left, Minoru instantly started to walk to it and entered. He turned around as the doors slid shut behind him, still smiling all the while, but it soon slipped from his face when the elevator jerked to a stop and did not open for a few moments.
"Errr... Is this part of the event... or something?" Minoru said, still staring expectantly at the elevator doors. "Shouldn't something happen...? Like these actually open? H-hello?"
Minoru didn't want to let panic settle in, but it was very slowly making itself at home. There was only so long he could keep calm before knowing something was up. He tried to calm his nerves by atsumeing some nekos on his phone, but it didn't serve to be the best distraction.

Reed - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes
Reed was practically giddy. Snickering as he played a bit with the robes and listened to the next set of instructions. He really didn't need them telling him he'd made the best choice. Naturally, nothing was a match for the mighty Empire. Watching the set of pillars go dark, and what appeared to be an elevator light up. He was a bit surprised at how extravagant this was turning out to be.
Who knew this museum even had an elevator! Swoshing in and watching the numbers blink to the fourth floor. It was all so mysterious, exciting, and then the elevator stops...and nothing happens...
He doesn't start to panic, not yet, but he does take a tighter hold on his cell phone buried in his pocket. He'd left the thing turned off for a reason, he hoped he wouldn't need to make a call out..especially not if he was trapped in an elevator.

Gabriel Westinghouse - Rebel Alliance (Jedi)
Once the saber had been lifted, Gabriel startled as the pillars vanished, a voice being heard as it beckoned him into the elevator that opened nearby. He cocked his head for but a moment, but then shrugged. This was to be a game, right? So why the hell should he feel this cautious.
Maybe it was the way that he was there alone? That was still nagging at him, but in the end, none of it really mattered now did it?
he walked into the elevator, taking those final two steps inside before turning and facing the closing doors. "Let the fun begin..." He chuckled, readying himself for the game to come.

Tristan - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes
It was all pretty exciting; his sister had been the one to initially tell him about the event, but he'd kept tabs on it for the whole month that led up to it. He wasn't even a die hard fan but he was always down for a good time, and events like these usually were if spent with the right people. When Tristan dragged Hannah (in all his excitement, he wasn't forcing her or anything...he hoped) through those doors and he saw the four pillars, all instincts somehow just had him to lead her to the left pillars. With a light laugh he grabbed a set of dark robes and a red light saber for himself, then waited for her to make her own choice in costume.
Soon enough the right pillars were out of view and the voice, the same one that first instructed them to pick sides, gave a more welcome greeting. "Cool," he said with a grin before looking toward her, eyebrows doing a silly sort of waggle. Not that he was certain she could see or anything, but it amused him all the same. "We get to crush people tonight. And with that he led her toward the elevator and, as soon as the doors closed behind them, sealed their fates for the night. Assuming it'd be some kind of an all out pseudo-war, they'd be kicking some serious rebel arse until the event was over.
Should be fun.

Terry Hyatt - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes
He had just finished putting on his costume when the voice spoke up again. Terry couldn't help but chuckle over what the voice had to say but frowned when an elevator opened up. He couldn't see anyone around still but the voice was urging him to go forth and enter it. So this meant that the elevator was probably remotely controlled from somewhere, probably where ever the person of the intercom was speaking from. Figuring this didn't make it any less creepy though. He would have thought that he would have seen someone by now but so far it was only him and he was very tempted to send Seung a text to make sure that he had indeed arrived, even if it turned out that his earlier thought that everyone else had used a different entrance turned out to be correct. After a moment's hesitation he moved over to the elevator and entered it, pushing the button for the 4th floor. It moved along fine but once it got to the right floor it stopped and didn't open. "What...?" He asked out loud, wondering if the person over the speaker could hear him or if they would respond soon. He would rather not be trapped in an elevator for a while thank you very much. He didn't try to force the door though, not did he let himself start to worry too much. If the elevator's were being controlled earlier then they were of course still being controlled now so there would be no reason to panic.
Unless this turned out to be a Negaverse trap that they walked into willingly but he doubted that. Or, mostly doubted that any way. It didn't seem like a Negaverse trap, not enough people would show up for the midnight event for all this hard work to be worth it he figured. Unless they were desperate. He shook his head and pushed those thoughts away. There was no reason to be paranoid and he just had to wait and see what would happen.

Hannah Carrington - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes While she wasn't a die hard fan of the series like her two younger cousins, Hannah was at least fairly familiar with the movies. Being stuck at the hospital as many times as she had been left her with a lot of time to kill which was usually filled with movie marathons, catching up on television series or books. Either way Tristan seemed happy enough to be here and that's what mattered most. Things had been a little rocky on her end over the last few weeks. Having to keep half her life a secret from him was definitely catching up but now was not the time to think of such things. They were here to forget about school, forget about work, forget about everything and just simply be and to have fun. Like him, Hannah chose the dark robes and light saber to match. "I have no idea what you're getting us into especially since I thought this place was closed till tomorrow. Just... promise not to use me as a decoy." Granted she hadn't a clue what she was doing, it still didn't mean he could trick her into walking into an ambush just to make sure the coast was clear.

Elijah Austin - Rebel Alliance - Belt and Sash
He was a bit confused, but whatever.
Eli stepped through the door of the elevator, waited till it went up a couple of floors. When it stopped, he walked up to the doors to get them to open, only to frown when they didn't. "The hell?...." Welp, looks like he was stuck looking at the four corners of the elevator....

Seung - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes
Seung had been looking around for Terry, hoping to find the other, but he was being told to get onto the elevator and so...he did. He'd meet him at the destination - just a little bit longer. So when the elevator brought him up to the fourth floor and...nothing. Why was it not opening? It was on the right floor...
Balling his hands up into fists he started banging on the door, hoping someone would hear him and get help. Banging he called out for help as he finally gave up..slumping to the floor of the elevator and sitting there for some moments before scooting back so his back pressed to the wall, knees bending and arms draping over his knees.

On the 4th Floor:Empire When the elevator stops at the 4th floor, its stops for a few moments, but then the voice informs you that if you have not already that you need to adorn yourself because you are about to head into battle. The door remains closed until the costume is properly in place before sliding opening to reveal you are on the slide floor, the floor is circular, fully open to the center of the building which contains very well built 5 story jungle gym, big enough for even some of the tallest and heaviest adult to enjoy. All the way around the floor is a metal railing, lined with plexiglass, three and half feet tall with large round tube slides built into 4th the floor, dispersed at random interval on the 4th floor, through the plexiglass lined railing, weaving around the jungle gym, depositing into and gym and with several slides that go from the gym to the ground floor. From your side, despite the very dim lighting, you can see the rebels gathering on the other side of the floor, but the empire is gathering as well. You are ushered to a slide and sent into battle. Alliance When the elevator stops at the 4th floor, it stops for a few moments, but then the voice informs you that if you have not already that you need to adorn yourself because you are about to head into battle. The door remains closed until the costume is properly in place before sliding opening to reveal you are on the slide floor, the floor is circular, fully open to the center of the building which contains very well built 5 story jungle gym, big enough for even some of the tallest and heaviest adult to enjoy.

From your side, despite the very dim lighting, you can see the empire gathering on the other side of the floor, but the alliance is gather as well. You are ushered to a slide and sent into battle. Game on It's an all out battle, Galactic Empire against the Rebel Alliance, armed with sabers and blasters your objective is to take out the opposing side. Both the saber and the blaster work much like laser tag guns. You can either shoot out the lights on the costume or swing to hit them out with saber (you do not actually have to hit the character physically). You have full use of the five story Adventure Port museum, it is teaming with room, all currently decorated in honor of Star Wars. The first level is the completely Millennium Falcon themed and the fifth level is completely Death Star themed. Those two levels aside, you can say you are literally anywhere in the Star Wars universe that you like, on floors 2-4. The rooms connect in different ways, like secret passage ways that aren't secret (i.e. small doors and even tunnels). The rules are simple. Each person has 8 lights, dispersed over their costume and you must take out each light to take the person out of the game.
Roll for a ten sided die for a hit, odds you hit, evens you missed.
Please quote the person you are attacking, whether you hit or miss.
Once you are taken out of the battle, you can assume someone has ushered you off to the side.
There is no rolling time limit, but you may not gang up on someone, and you may not hit the same person more than once in a 2hr time frame (misses do not count here).
Keep your light total in the bottom on your post in bold red font and your character name/team in the top in bold. *Notes, you can not fall out of the slide or off of the jungle gym, much like the images provided they are fully enclosed until you get to the exits, up on the fifth floor, via rope bridges, on the bottom floor, via the gym itself or the slides, of which one deposits on floor 2, one on floor 3, one on floor 4, and three on floor 1.*

Alerana Ikaros - Galactic Empire - Dark Robes - heading into battle (forest moon of Endor)
Seems there was no need to worry, because the voice soon informed her they were heading into battle. Maybe they were waiting for everyone to get in place. When the doors slid open, she briefly noticed the rebel players gathered across the room before her attention was fully captured by the contents of the room.
The giant jungle gym thing looked awesome! She wanted to climb all over it, but then the rules of the game were explained. She'd have to leave that for later then. Right now she had to take out some rebel scum! She gripped her plastic lightsaber and launched herself down one of the twisting slides.
She didn't rush at the enemy or wait for them to come to her. Instead she darted into a side hallway and soon found herself in a large room decorated like a forest, with tree houses off in the distance. It kind of looked like that planet with the Ewoks. She headed into the room, ducking behind the fake foliage and watching the was she'd come to see if anyone followed her.
Lights: 8
