As the final scene for Act I ended, with Elphaba flying off on a boom, the curtains drew to a close.
Intermission was upon them.
It was time for those by the doors to act, to hurry out before anyone else, and lock everyone inside. The doors slamming shut with loud, echoing, sounds.
Perhaps it would seem like some people had just needed to get out in order to go to the bathroom badly, maybe they needed a drink, or maybe they just strolled on out like everyone else was planning to. Either way no one else, aside from a few people, got out of the theater as the doors slammed shut with an echoing sound. A sound which should send chills down spines as it ushered in something terrible....at least for most.

For this post we’ll go over the battle system, so everyone is on the same page.
Hit points: Civilian: 15 Lieutenant/Basic Senshi/Page/Guardian Cat: 30 Captain/Super Senshi/Squire/Senshi Cat: 45 General/Eternal Senshi/Knight: 60 General King/Royal Senshi/Royal Knight: 75
Random Number: Civilian: 1-10 Lieutenant/Basic Senshi/Page/Guardian Cat: 1-15 Captain/Super Senshi/Squire/Senshi Cat: 1-25 General/Eternal Senshi/Knight: 1-35 General King/Royal Senshi/Royal Knight: 1-45 *For senshi/items with healing you will roll, as listed above, and list who the healing magic is being used on. The number you roll is what will be restored to the targets health points. If your roll goes over what they’ve lost in health they will be topped off.

Time for those who are shutting the doors to do so...and people to power up. Senshi and knights can call for back up once they've found a safe place/way to power up.
Negaverse agents...if you want...call for back up as well. (You can quote people to get them to bring in characters - in a sense literally calling for back up.)

Ayesha KamjikHP: 30 Ayesha stayed in her seat, knuckles white over the arms of the chair. She looked rapidly from left to right to left again for some sign of the theater attendants — or anyone in charge — to start directing this burgeoning mass of chaos. She hadn't, however, expected a burgeoning mass of Chaos.
By the telltale whispers of violet dancing around the room, there were Chaos agents preying on these people. Were they the ones behind shutting the doors? They had to be — what attendants had the good sense to lock people in like this?
But Ayesha had no business getting involved with this mess. Even if she could assume the form of Pavo, she wasn't interested in playing unknown hero to the people here. No, she'd slink down the aisles and slip out through the stage area where no one would cut her off. Other senshi with looser sensibilities could handle this, or the police could do their jobs for once. Ayesha Kamjik needn't get involved, much less Sailor Pavo.
Shrinking down, she scampered in a crouch to avoid detection. People ran and stumbled and jumped seats, but she would find her way out. She had to — she owed that to herself.Quote: anyone is free to interact with or assault ayesha! she will power up if harassed Quote: likewise any chaos agent is free to call in faustite or ochre!

Richard Bell || HP: 15/15 Pretzel bites with cheese had sounded absolutely amazing, if Richard was honest. Especially if it was spicy cheese, because everyone knew the obvious truth that spicy nacho cheese was the best nacho cheese. It was best of all if it was the really high-quality kind that had diced peppers and tomatoes in it. He knew that the Autumn wasn't likely to have the fancy spicy cheese, and it might not even have the cheap spicy nacho cheese, though. So he would have to-- Oh. He jumped when the doors closed, his hand tightening reflexively around Ignacio's. When people started to get restless, started to try and get out past the closed--and seemingly locked doors--that put the two of them in a somewhat precarious position. They had been nearly to the door when it closed and locked, which meant all the people trying to see what was happening, see if they could get out, were about to try and get past them. Or through them, pushing them aside as need be. It was nothing that Richard wanted any part of. "What do we do?" came his whisper to Ignacio, looking around. All the doors, it seemed, had the same outcome. Everyone seemed to be trapped.

Transcendent Eternal Sailor Encke || HP: 60/60 Ignacio had not naturally been a paranoid person, but circumstances had made him paranoid. Continuous confirmation of his paranoia did, in some ways, make it worse. Big gatherings were so often invaded by the Negaverse. Hell, he had begun to notice there were a lot of things created by them, too. It was why he was so naturally suspicious of any new events, or any new locations. Older places usually seemed more secure, more sacrosanct in some ways, but a quick glance behind him when he could see through the crowds attempting to get towards the door confirmed what he suspected. The purple tendrils weren't exactly unfamiliar. His heart jumped into his throat. Richard was here. With him. Squeezing his hand. Trapped with him. With no way to defend himself against whatever was lurking in here-- Ignacio had become an expert in locating whatever hidden area of a location he could, and he murmured a, "C'mon," at Richard, pulling him somewhat against the flow of traffic until they came to a place with more open air. He then did a quick scan around the room once more and darted to a particularly shadowy location near the pit, which had been abandoned during intermission. He then hopped down into the pit, just for good measure, and waited for Richard to join him. "You stay here," said Ignacio, uneasily, as he grabbed his phone out of his pocket, pinged off a text, and then fished his pen out of his pocket. "I'll be nearby, I promise," not like there was room in here for him not to be, "but you'll probably be safest over here. At least, there's no eyes on you, here--," With that, he murmured a quiet, "Encke Eternal, Make-up," and the form of Ignacio Araya was in short order replaced with Transcendent Eternal Sailor ********. All he had wanted to do tonight was celebrate a theatre and go out to dinner with Richard. Why couldn't he just have one normal evening? Just one? He wasn't really asking for much-- Hell, he could have had a shitty evening if the stars insisted, but why did Richard have to be involved? There were definitely a number of Negaverse auras in the vicinity, he could tell that much. That just made the situation worse, especially considering how many civilians there were trapped in here. Should he try to see if there was any nearby backup? Maybe they could at least free the civilians. And Richard. Especially Richard. Encke summoned his phone and quickly located the Distress Signal app, pressing down on it. Quote: Encke's activated the Distress Signal app with permission from Sleet! If you needed a reason for your Order character to come, feel free to have them receive the signal! medigel to Brendan: if you're in the area of the Autumn there seems to be a chaotic problem here

Alexandre for his part was pleased to note the lack of people, civilians, having escaped. That was good, less chance of people calling the police. Oh, he was sure some would try inside the theater but over all the noise it was unlikely their message would get across to the operator properly. Even less likely was the cops getting involved...the cities cops did seem rather incapable...so even if people could call them it might just be pointless anyway - what a shame.
As he watched others power up he ducked off into a nice little area, behind the curtains, in order to power up as well. When he stepped out he was already jumping off the stage and moving with purpose through the people. He was confident, more so when powered than as a civilian, his hands reaching out and grabbing for energy. He wasn't much for gathering starseeds, killing innocent people wasn't his thing, energy was something he was planning to gather tonight. He wouldn't bother to tell anyone else what to do, he knew some preferred one to the other, but already he could sense a senshi...how cute. A single little senshi aura, and only little because there were more chaos auras than the one senshi aura even if it was eternal.
He knew it was unlikely that many would hear him but he called out loudly.
"Take all the energy you want. Let the starseeds and energy flow!"

General Arsenopyrite: 60/60 Arseno had gone up to one of the upper levels to get back inside and had only just drained a couple taking one of the private balconies to watch what was going on down below. They were currently against the wall, unconscious and unlikely to wake up soon.
He watched Benitoite down below, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when the other yelled out. It just seemed so... public and enthusiastic. Though he hadn't really ever seen Benitoite in an event such as this, so perhaps this was really how the other acted.
Still, Arseno wasn't one to go around and happily drain people or kill them by taking their starseeds. Starseeds were experiments. They were not to be taken so easily.
Instead he was on the lookout for any senshi or knights who happened to be in the audience. Surely they would try something, such as opening the doors for the civilians and whatnot. Though there didn't seem to be too many. Just one so far, though he knew there had to be more. Not as many as their chaos agents but more... Arseno was just observing for now though. To see what was going on and if he should really involve himself and to see if he could find a potential victim. Someone that wouldn't be missed...
Lt. Geocronite: 30/30 The entire scene was... nerve-wracking to say the least. Geo had gone back inside as he had been instructed, but so far was hiding himself away from all of the chaos. It was hard, hearing the screams and yelling from the audience and unable to do anything about it. He couldn't even take advantage of gathering energy from all of it, since he had to physically touch the person to do so, and there was just too much movement for his liking.
He was standing there, looking pretty dumb, and just trying not to be noticed. Maybe he could grab someone really quickly? But then who would he grab? He couldn't grab any little kids or old people... It was just all so confusing! Even if he did find someone to grab, they were immediately lost in the crowd, never to be seen again. And he didn't want someone looking at his face when he did grab them. He knew that he wouldn't be recognized, but he still wouldn't be able to stand it.
Eventually though, he was able to grab some young man who had probably come with his significant other of some sort and grab energy out of him, leaving his unconscious form in a place where he was less likely to be trampled from the panicking crowd. Geo quickly put the orb of energy into his pockets, and wondered if he should take more, or call it quits and let everyone else handle it.

Chibi Sailor Anser || HP: 30/30 She thought today would just be a normal patrol, really. That was until she looked at her phone and noticed her Distress Signal app alerting. Anser had never actually seen that thing go off before. Probably wasn't good. She pulled up the alert and looked around the map it pulled up. There were quite a number of Negaverse agents over there, from the looks of it. Where was that? Was that-- Oh, that was The Autumn. Wasn't that the place that was closing? Wait, why did Anser know that was closing? She could have sworn that was something that-- Hermano had mentioned The Autumn. Anser took off in the direction of the building without another thought. When she arrived, she could definitely feel the pulse of Chaos radiating off the building. There had to be someone on their side in there or Anser wouldn't have gotten that signal, but it was hard for her to really pick anything out over the Chaos auras she was detecting. Anser honestly wasn't sure what she could do to help, but she had to try, and there was no way she wasn't getting in there. Her family was in there. If she didn't figure out how to get in, she didn't want to think about what could happen-- Anser marched up to the door and attempted to yank it open, but it just rattled uselessly. Locked. s**t. How was she supposed to get the door open? Quote: Anyone outside of the theatre is free to bother Anser! She's just looking upset at the door at the moment...

Corrupt Super Sailor Noctua: 45/45Powering up was like a second wind. Ever since the gift of her upgrade, Noctua had felt even more at home in her own sphere. What had once been merely a way to escape the pressure of her day and the sleeplessness of her night was now a true calling. She flipped the hood of her fuku up over her head, the long braid that she had become accustomed to spilling over her shoulder, and slipped into the chaos of the crowd around her. Much to her relief, the influx of power that came with her upgrade also eliminated the troublesome necessity of physical touch for energy gathering. So while others scattered around her, unaware of her cracking forehead she gathered her fill. "At this rate," she purred, falling in behind the beacon of her General, "I'll be able to replenish the surplus I spent when school started." And then the small pinpoints of light registered on the outskirts of her senses. she tilted her head, lips falling open in her concentration. One spot was brighter than the other... brighter than her. Best not to fool with that one. Let Benitoite correct him. The other... she knew that feeling. A chibi...Pale blue eyes found the source of the weaker light. Behind the door, arriving too late to help the Eternal within. A child likely to begin banging on the locked door, trying to open it with the force of her pathetically limited will. "Shall I bring you her starseed," Noctua finally asked, a bony hand gripping Benitoite's bicep in her eagerness.

Lt. Strengite: 30/30 For a moment Shannon had lost her boss in the crowd, the little man really could move, but since she knew where he was ultimately going it wasn't hard to find him again. She stuck to the shadows until he had entered then exited the heavy velvet curtains, his general regalia on display for all to see. A smile tugged at her lips at his statement, she could only think of it being very theatrical. Very french royalty esq moment. "Let them eat cake hmmm?" Shannon smirked to herself as she used the same shadowy location to change as well. Her outfit didn't change much, it just had a much more militaristic feel to it and surprisingly showed more cleavage then her civilian clothes. Strengite didn't really care except the color was seriously dated. After a moment to stretch the buxom lieutenant slipped back into the crowded and panicked auditorium. She could feel the auras appear around her, a eternal had her smirk waver for a moment but the additional General and the other negaversers helped reassure the still relatively inexperienced lieutenant that there wouldn't be any major issues. She just needed to stay away from that person like the plague. "Darling," Strengite purred as she slipped up towards Beni, a ball of energy already formed in her hand. Silver eyes glanced at Noctua before focusing back on her general. "Shall I go have fun solo or would you rather join in." The corrupt could go do whatever she wanted, Strengite didn't particularly care what the dreadlocked female did as long as she didn't get in her way. Tortuga of Jupiter: 30/30 Pat did his best to make his way through the crowd without hurting anyone. He wanted to get to one of the doors and do what he could to get it open but something that was called out had the tall redhead stop in his tracks, purple eyes zeroed in on the ashen blonde in more clothes then those that had been on stage. That man had just informed his cohorts that the crowd was a free for all buffett of sorts, he was a bloody negaverser. This whole thing was a freaking farce for them. Pat didn't know what angered him more, ruining a good play, threatening lives, or pulling this type of s**t in general. God damn it, he had just wanted to enjoy his night off and this is what he was ******** sucked into. As much as he wanted to stomp up to that freaking guy and punch him in his face Pat knew that was a bad idea and not because of the two women who had come to flank him. As he was right then he didn't stand a chance of surviving at least being a page gave him some strength to fight back with. He ducked out of the crowd and quickly found a secluded spot, he was hidden from all eyes which was perfect. After a quick text was sent to his family and to those he knew were order, a simple [The Autumn! Send Help!] he too powered up and nearly blanched at the auras he felt. Chaos outnumbered order by quite a bit right then, he could only hope his text got out and that it brought reinforcements. Quote: He is free to be picked on by a stronger nega ^.^ tho he isn't as helpless as he seems

General Benitoite: 60/60So far things seemed to be going well, how pleasing, the eternal wasn't causing a scene...yet. If they did he'd handle them, he wouldn't be allowing anyone to ruin his little energy gathering event. This was so agents could get what they needed and so the Negaverse could add to their stock pile of energy, and perhaps starseeds.
When he felt the corrupt at his side he turned his head a bit, a small tilting to his head as well. "Mmm, yes I feel them also. Do as you please with the chibi." He didn't like the idea of killing them, they were still a child, but they would grow up and become a senshi and they would become a pain in his a** at that point. Best to turn them or kill them before that point was reached. "And if you need help in school ask. it's better than spending more sleepless nights busy with school work." He stated gently, though there was perhaps a hint of a gentle scolding in his light words.
"Mmmm, you do want to have fun tonight don't you...." His attention had turned, slowly, from the corrupted at his side to the Lieutenant at his other side. "Why don't we cut a swath through the masses and see if we can't find that eternal and defeather them....I'm sure a feather duster for my office would be nice." The casual way he spoke would have alarmed him...back when he was sixteen and new to everything, before he'd ever killed anyone. He had, without really noticing it, slipped right into a certain ease of speech when it came to discussing death, killing, and other such things.
"Do you want us to join you in your chibi hunt? And then we can gather energy together?" Looking from one female to the other, not wanting to seemingly pick a favorite in some way.

Corrupt Super Sailor Noctua: 45/45
Noctua had not gotten to know the lieutenant that arrived at Benitoite's side. It was the same mistake that she had made with Cinnabar -- not getting to know her team. It had left her an orphan before. While the pack moved as a whole to another general, Noctua had been left behind. It was not a mistake that she intended to make a second time. If something were to happen to Benitoite, she wanted something to fall back on. Maybe when she was stronger and could stand on her own she could afford to keep to herself but... not now. Her survival demanded that she form ties between the senshi and officers under Benitoite's command. But then Benitoite spoke. Permission. Something wicked thrilled through Noctua's body, turning her lips upwards into an absolutely toxic grin. "If you finish with the eternal before I am through and think of it," Noctua whispered, eyes locked on the closed door. "I'll be on the other side of the door. But historically chibis aren't an issue for me. I've taken one before and I'll take one now." She cast her pale eyes on the other woman, forcing her lips into a smile that might hopefully engender Lieutenant Strengite to her even just a little bit. "You are both more suited to deal with the eternal. If we split up as per our strengths then we can eliminate the obstacles more efficiently." She released Benitoite's bicep and slid away, slipping like oil through the crowd towards the door. Another perk of her upgrade. Doors were no longer closed to her. With some concentrated effort, she passed through the portal she had been taught to call and arrived beyond the locked door. "This is no place for children," she purred, arriving behind the chibi with that same terrifyingly poisonous grin.

Super Sailor Larissa: 45/45She had been walking around outside, trying to decide if the sudden change in temperature had been a good or a bad thing, considering it now felt like fall but still looked like summer, when the distress signal had gone out. She looked to see where it was coming from, and immediately ran to it, with the thought of being lucky not to be stuck in the middle of it quickly going through her head.
Soon however she had managed to get into the building and powered up in a place where others couldn't see her. Larissa then went to try the doors, but unfortunately they seemed to be locked. She cursed. She could feel the aura of Negaverse agents all around, and only little blips of auras of other Order fighters within the building. Which meant that there seemed to be a lot more agents than senshi or knights. "Not good." She mumbled to herself, trying to find a way in. Really the only way though would to be to break down the door...
If watching tv and movies had taught her anything, it was to either go for the hinges or the middle of the door. She thought about it for a moment, before trying to kick open the door a bit. It didn't budge though, but she was pretty sure that was less from her not being strong enough and more from people who were trying to get out.
The hinges though, they looked like they could come off pretty easily... and with that she kicked at one of them, and it came off! She only hoped that the rest would be so easy.Quote: Larissa is currently in the process of breaking down one of the doors if anyone wants to try to stop her!

Ayesha Kamjik: 30/30 She slipped largely from notice as one of the agents declared broadly to the panicked audience. Others began to show — an eternal by the wings on his hips, though Ayesha knew nothing of why he glowed vibrantly. Some kid with too-long hair and a cracked forehead clung to one of the officers, likely a Negaverse senshi. There would be more, she was sure.
And more from her own affiliation, too; senshi had a habit of turning up at panics like these. They'd turn up so she wouldn't have to, as they somehow wanted that nameless glory. But Ayesha forced such thoughts from her mind as she slunk through the rest of her aisle, then the next, steadily working her way toward one of the many barred entrances. She needed an out however she could make it, even if that path forced her down into the stage depths.
Many focused on pushing on the door, however, which made it a non-option unless Ayesha could find some remote release. She hadn't noticed anyone specifically closing and locking them, though that wasn't out of the question either. Perhaps one of the agents had a keyring on them.
She slunk steadily toward one of the more stationary, preoccupied forms. Either she'd chance picking their pocket or she'd get drained into unconsciousness like the rest of the theater. It still beat flinging herself against the door in a blind panic.Quote: Still open for interaction
