RP exists everywhere even in internet cafes XD --------------------------------------------------------------------
Rayden stepped out of his room, his face displaying a see-saw between disgusted disbelief and disgusted horror. He had taken an obscene amount of time to get out of his room, since he couldn't decide if this was all part of a multi-layered nightmare or that his dorm had really turned into a living/uliving cell with hair-raising sound effects and revolting flesh walls. And bleeding flesh walls at that. After taking several pinches to his cheek and a stern scolding from Ariadnialla, he finally brought up the courage to venture out of the room, only to find the slimy walls extending down the entire hallway.
Hadrian's red hair flashed at the corner of his eyes and Rayden hastened towards him, so mindful of tripping on the gunk blanketing the floor that he failed to notice anything else.
"Yo Hadrian. Any idea what's going on?" He asked, clapping a hand on the hacker's shoulder, looking around to see Deo and...stopping dead in his tracks.
What's this?? Quistis Trepe?? What's the perrieniel pin-up favorite in many a male SeeD's locker doing here? And more importantly why hadn't he noticed her there before?
"Ma'am!" Rayden turned immediately to her, quickly dispensing with a sharp salute while trying to mask his surprise at her presence. "Rayden Sharpola reporting." He could hardly resist the urge for his eyes to wander and appreciate her famed beauty but the no-nonsense aura radiating off her in droves quickly assured him this wasn't the time.
"Umm so where are the other SeeDs?" Rayden asked, rotating his glance between Hadrian, Deo and Quistis.

Sho and Jax Selphie Tilmitt clambers onto her feet, looking up at you still with faint annoyance etched on her face. "I'm looking for the SeeDs on the Trinity Mission!" She says, before a look of recognition reaches her face. "Did you say Miyavi?" She consults a paper in her hand, half-stained in red but still discernable.
"Sho Miyavi? And Ajax Ridean? You two are the on the list I'm looking for, and your male teammates too! Have you seen Quisty already? Has she given you the instructions? Come on, move it... there's no time to dawdle! We're supposed to meet with Seifer and your other teammate within ten minutes!" She rattles off without waiting for your replies, and set off towards the corridor where you both had just come from.

Hadrian couldn't take her eyes off Quistis as she made a failed attempt to stop Jax and Sho from running somewhere. She was definitely one--if not, the prettiest woman--to ever step in Balamb Garden. Quistis clutched her forehead and grunted. The way she grunted was so lady-like and professional. Why did she have to be twenty years older than him? She was definitely one of the reasons why he agreed to transfer here in Balamb. Obviously, Hadrian was a fan.
"Huh?" Hadrian swivelled his gaze to Rayden who turned to Quistis for a salute. He thought Rayden was asking him something, it must be his imagination.
"Sharpola?" Quistis repeated, scanning Rayden's face. "That's right. Good to have you." She nodded, crossing her arms. "My other subordinates will be here shortly. But for now, let me answer some of your questions." She touched the rims of her glasses. "As you can see, we are in a state of crisis. Sorceress Adel has found out our hiding place and has attacked us. As of now, the whole Balamb Garden is under her territory, her powers are intensified by the spell she had casted just now, so alert yourself to anything. Even a harmless little plant can take in Adel's aura and be demonized. Nothing is what it seems."
Hadrian finally came to his senses and found out that his speculations were true. It had to anyway.
"Roger that," he said. "So where is Adel hiding?"
Stella
You walk alongside Seifer across the hall, passing several SeeDs running on a different direction.
"You felt it too, didn't you? The spell the sorceress casted," he spoke after the long pause between you two. "It makes the weak fall into a deep slumber, while the strong gets to keep their eyes open." He was probably talking about the lower class cadets. Now, you wouldn't have to wonder why it wasn't that crowded outside the hallway. Only the higher ranked SeeDs were able to move around without getting affected. "Seems like your commander finally chose the right people this time." You saw the corner of his lip smirk. "S'about time."
As you look ahead, you saw the male members of your team gathering around Quistis Trepe. They seemed to be talking about something.
"Go," He gave a slight pat on your shoulder, signaling you to join them.

Stella: Omg he touched me, forget Adel. *chases after Seifer in glee*
Stella gave Seifer Almasy one last long look wanting to remember this moment. Then with a nod she sauntered over to the boys gathered around Miss Trepe, who still managed to look stunningly beautiful among the walls of goo.
"Stella Artos, reporting in" she said softly holstering her pistols but keeping her hands resting on them so she could have them ready at any time.

Selphie Tilmitt was walking off. Just like that. As if the entire Garden hadn't been transformed into some giant living organism bleeding out onto the walls.
Sho blinked. < Aa well, at least...nope, not jinxing anything. >
He gave Jax a confused look, shrugged, and followed after the green-eyed SeeD.

Jax stared in disbelief at the petite SeeD, now skipping merrily down the halls -- leaving soggy footprints in a neat line.
Laying a hand on the back of his head, Jax shook his head, looking back into the room. After all that running--the fear that gripped him when he heard that scream...who it could have came from....
But now, judging by the circumstances, Jax did feel a little foolish, making such a scene, dashing off to be the hero, and even draggin Sho along with him.
However, from the expression on Miyavi's face, Jax figured he felt the same way.
Jax quickly got past his initial shock and smiled lazily. "Guess no one needs us to save them huh?" He adjusted his grip on Ravaner.
"You ready? Cause lets go!"

Quistis was about to answer Hadrian's question when she noticed Seifer walking towards them. He managed to find one... she thought, amused.
"Stella Artos, reporting in" Quistis watched Stella join them with a formal smile. She nodded at the lady. "Good to have you." She turned to the others. They had agreed that Xu would gather the non-Trinity SeeDs for Garden's defense against DotNA's invasion. It was very possible that the DotNAs already found the perfect passage to filter its pawns inside Garden. They had to hurry.
"As much as I hate to say this, but Headmistress Xu has her own case to handle and we have ours. From this time being, I want all of you to take orders from me, Mr. Almasy, and---"
"Ms. Tilmitt!" Selphie finally caught up with Quistis and the rest, panting furiously and clutching her knees. Being in her late 30s was way inconvenient compared to when she was a teenager. Her energy drains too quickly nowadays. "That's right you SeeDlings," she panted again. "You answer up to us for now." She straightened up and composed her breathing. Sho and Jax followed behind her, and were back in their little group.
"They call it Asthma," Seifer walked towards the group, eyeing Selphie who quickly shot him a glare. The ex-knight stood near Quistis and started to address the group. "I'll get straight to the point because all this formalities is getting pointless." He glanced at Quistis for a moment and continued. "Adel found our hiding place and sent her little bastards to infiltrate this facility---a girl, and the DotNA head named Weiss. They attacked us during the ritual and managed to get a hold of the Trinity sword and Rinoa." Seifer paused. "However, we managed to retrieve the gem. The sword was taken away by either Weiss or that girl."
"We found out that that "girl's" name is Odendria." Quistis cut in, eyeing Seifer then swiveling her gaze to the SeeDs. "She is just somewhere around here in Garden, securing a passage for the whole fleet of DotNA. The commander and half of your teammates are already out for Weiss. We are to look for Odendria to find the Trinity sword. "
"Anyone, questions?" Selphie asked. "We'll meet with your teammates at Garden sublevel once the sword is retrieved."

Hadrian raised his hand halfway. "Where do we start looking then? I got a sensor right here, and it seemed like the whole floor plan of this area has been twisted."
Seifer crossed his arms. "That's your job to find out. If we figured that out by ourselves, then we wouldn't have to search for your team now, would we?"
"Seifer." Quistis gave him the look.
Hadrian suppressed the urge to sigh. "Right, I...wasn't thinking sir," he grumbled. Was Seifer Almasy this arrogant? Head Instructor Trepe better not be going out with him or he would suck at life.
"We need your input given that you faced them in battle once," Seifer continued. "Call it an instinct of someone who has faced them, if you may." He waved his hand dismissively. "You atleast have an idea of what they're like. Which part of Garden do you think they would corrupt first?"

Deo put on the facade that he was paying attention. Quistis Trepe and Seifer Almasy did not look like the kind of people who took lightly to slackers. However, Deo couldn't really say anything, seeing as he knew nothing about Balamb Garden. He didn't know where to look for Odendria. He didn't even know where the bathrooms were.
"Uhh.. I'll just follow you guys?" Deo asked the seeDs.

"Uhh.. I'll just follow you guys?"
Sho blinked at Deo. He had forgotten that Deo wasn't a SeeD and had no idea about standard protocol, evacuation drills, or even what the inside of Balamb Garden really looked like.
< Man, this sucks for his first day on the job. >
Sho raised his hand, as if he were in class. "If it were up to the DotNA leader Weiss, I think he'd corrupt all of the Garden at the same time," he said.
Seifer shot him a glare. "As strange as it sounds, Miyavi, that DOESN'T HELP."
"Seifer." Quistis shot the blonde man another quelling glance, and then glanced at Miyavi. "Care to elaborate, Miyavi?"
"Aa, I was going to before someone interrupted..." Sho muttered, frowning at Seifer, who scowled back. "But since they have to come in with a bunch of DotNA soldiers to actually do any damage to the building, don'tcha think that maybe the front entrance is the best place to begin the investigation?"
Quistis considered the question. "Hm...maybe..."

"How about..." Hadrian decided to give his two cents. "How about the computer rooms on the second floor?" He looked around, expecting for an objection.
"I know this doesn't make sense, but who knows right? Maybe they're trying to control some motherboard over there and get this place to self-destruct. Besides, sometimes, things are always found on the place that's the most unexpected." He nodded. "I think they're aware of that."

"Hmm if you're talking about unexpected..." Rayden added after some thinking. "The safest place is the most dangerous place. They might be hiding in...I dunno, the Headmaster's office? Cos nobody would ever expect to find them there especially if the head honchos are all trying to salvage the situation. They might've tried to sneak in there after creating a distraction... like stealing the sword and Sorceress Rinoa."

Seifer scoffed and covered his eyes with his free hand. "For the love of...!" he muttered, before glaring around at all of them. "Unexpected places? Are you fucking kidding me? Headmaster's office, computer rooms...what's the next place we search, the Hynedamned LOCKER ROOMS? 'Gee, Instructor Trepe, the DotNA just HAVE to be in there! They'll think that we'll look for them in the LOCKER ROOMS!'" His green eyes flashed angrily and he muttered, "Nevermind what I said earlier about Squall choosing the right people. You guys are idiots---"
"They ALL managed to pass their SeeD tests on the first try," Quistis said coolly. "Unlike you, Almasy."
"They're wasting our time," Seifer retorted, "with half-assed guesses. How in the hell would the DotNA make it into the third floor while we were going down---?!"
"They're just throwing out ideas, you big brute!"
"Shit! Dammit, Tilmitt, stop punching me in the head! It causes brain damage, you know!"
"Well then, you don't have any problem with it, since you're already a retard---"
"Children." Quistis' voice was frozen steel. "Don't make me turn this Garden around."
Silence.
Sho cleared his throat. "Aa, uhm..." he scratched his head, "so we have the front entrance, the computer rooms, and the Headmaster's office...how about the second-floor classrooms?" He shrugged. "It's already been proven that it's easy to scale down to the second floor from the outside and break into the classrooms through the windows."
Seifer's eyes narrowed. "Shown through the Galbadian attack on Balamb Garden, is that what you mean, Miyavi?"
Sho met the man's hard stare. Even though Seifer Almasy was taller by an inch, and intimidating, and probably regaled as one of the Gardens' greatest soldiers, Sho believed he could get a punch or two in before the blonde took his head off with that huge gunblade. "Yes, sir," Sho replied icily. "I remember the tactic from the Galbadia Garden attack."
Quistis lightly touched Seifer's arm in a warning. After a split second, Seifer stepped back.
Quistis kept her slender fingers perched on the taller man's wrist, probably as a continued warning. Selphie whistled innocently, but a smirk was on the petite woman's face.
The Seifer, ohhhh the Seiftis!! *spoons*

HAHA just to break the ice everyone XD ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hadrian scratched his forehead and listened to Seifer lash out at them. He must admit seeing the man pissed off was amusing. He really lived up to his title. "All right, halt, listen everyone!" Selphie spoke, stepping in the middle of the crowd. It was time to take matters into her own hands. "All those in favor of searching on the second floor, just raise your hand." She raised a hand to show the SeeDs how to raise them, like they didn't know how to raise their hands. "Are you f*cking kidding me..." Seifer placed his hands on his hips and looked down, shaking his head. He let out a stifled laugh, mixed emotion was running inside him. He was pissed, amused by the stupidity around him, and just couldn't believe they were doing this considering their situation. Hadrian didn't dare to question Selphie's ways seeing she was a respected figure from where he came from. Selphie was going to say something more when Hadrian's sensor started beeping like crazy. By reflex, Hadrian grabbed the thing from his pocket and his jaw dropped slightly. "What is it?" Quistis asked, bringing her whip into view. "It's picking up a major amount of monsters making their way here, and--" Hadrian hadn't finished his sentence yet when the wall on their left side started eating away and a grat's head protrude. It seemed to be eating its way in---chomping the rotten flesh wall in an incredible speed. But there was something wrong with the Grat, it was oily black, bigger than usual, and had more sinister features like that of a mantis. It almost looked like it was clad with an armor made of tar. "Holy fu--" Selphie covered her mouth and watched the thing struggle to get to the other side. "What are you staring at, just kill the damn thing!" Seifer didn't waste any second and pulled out Hyperion, proceeding to charge towards the monster. Seifer was about to deliver a fatal blow when another part of the wall started eating out revealing four more monsters eating their way in. He stopped in his tracks, and was suddenly caught off guard when the first Grat--who had finally managed to get half of its body out of the wall--swooped him with its mantis-like claw, hurling the blode ex-knight to the opposite wall with incredible force. Hadrian stood straight and looked back and forth at the walls and his sensor. "Uh, what if we discuss this on the way? I think we really gotta run. Trust me, that's not all of the cavalry there is." He let out a fake laugh, shaking his head. "If this sensor is picking the monster's number correctly. There should be approximately twenty to thirty monsters that are going to emerge from that wall!" He stepped back as several parts of the wall started eating once again. ---------------------------- Noooo Seiferrrrr

Seifer Almasy was knocked down, but he was rising to his feet again, his handsome features contorted in rage. "Sonova---!" he spat, holding up a gloved hand, "FIRAGA!"
The burst of concentrated fire exploded from his palm and illuminated the dim hallway before surrounding the offending Grat. It squealed in fury, twitching as the flames ate at its tacky black armor.
"Well, what are you all waiting for?!" Seifer demanded. "Do what the hacker says!!"
< Okayyyy... > Sho thought, but his body was already tensed for battle.
At that moment, one of the four Grats that had crawled through the walls moved towards the SeeDs in an unnatural burst of speed, swiping at them with one of its thick, black tentacles.
Sho moved. He pressed his back against the opposite wall, ignoring the feeling of the pulsing meat against his spine. "Everyone run for it!!!!!!" he shouted, and Selphie let out a soft squeal and bolted.
"Damn, she can move!" Seifer commented, already at the brunette's heels. "Coming, kids?"
