Action - Woodrow's Palace - Casing The Joint

[terraburning]

On the appointed day, Terra wakes up bright and early, preps her supplies, and heads over to UCLA for the recon job. Taking a moment to tap out a message and posting it to the BBS, she activates the Metaverse Navigator and slips into Woodrow's Palace.

checking the palace. feel free to join.

Inside, she takes a moment to stare at the passing parade of tanks and the dizzying display of unrestrained racism before taking up a position near the entrance, out of range of the tanks, and waiting for the other Thieves to show up.

With Trance's approval, Lifegiver nods at her before his mask disappears in blue flames, which a giant blue deer appears behind him as it's light blue antlers began to glow golden yellow as it grows more horns with rainbow-colored lights.

As it did, a tree-shaped barrier enveloped Lifegiver as he begins typing on his holographic keyboard to scan the entire area.

Standing near one of the edges of the tank's surface, Roll draws her mic stand and holds it at the ready, looking out for any nearby hostiles.

The parade of tanks forms a series of shifting walkways that vanish and reappear, making getting through a matter of timing. Shadow soldiers patrol through the empty areas, although none of them seem to be interested in the procession of the Parade, meaning it's safe for them to stay on top of the tanks for a while.

None of the Shadows feel particularly strong, but there does seem to be a stronger presence in the direction of Royce Hall.

[megacurious]

From the eyes of his Persona, he can see that most of the Shadows including the soldiers on patrol didn't detect the thieves' presence. This allows him to sigh in relief as he turns to the others.

"Looks like no one saw us here and so far, I feel these Shadows are not very strong to take us. Guess it's a good idea for us to stay here." However, something bothers him as takes a closer look at the holographic screen.

"Although I do sense a strong presence at the Royce Hall."

[kotoritori]

"Royce Hall, huh..."

Mato raises a hand just above her eyes to look into the distance, squinting her eyes to try to get a clear view.

"I guess we probably can't just snipe him from here, huh. Not even Black Rock Shooter is that good a shot."

Just going to reply next then...

[megacurious]

"Which means a ranged attack from the tanks is out of the question. Still, we may try to check the Royce Hall just to confirm our suspicions. If we find some strong security there, we may be in trouble in our infiltration mission without a strategic plan."

He then types in another set of keys in his holographic keyboard in an attempt to scan more of the area.

"It makes sense that he wouldn't be easy to reach from outside. He's arrogant and delusional, but he's not stupid. If his Shadow isn't under heavy guard, I'll be shocked."

Frost jumps to a higher spot on the tank, his trained balance keeping him from tumbling off the turret.

"It'd be nice if we could run a zipline from here to Royce Hall, but the distance is too great. Anybody see anything else we could use as a shortcut?"

[kotoritori]

"Maybe a shortcut isn't what we need, so much as a distraction."

She's just thinking out loud at this point, looking around the scene to try to see if there's anything they could do to draw the guards off.
