Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she wanders, Liana starts to see the city streets turn into residential neighborhoods, and not long down this path, she feels a tug... it's someone's magic, for certain, but it feels as vivid as though someone reached out and grasped her shoulder, tugging her.

And then, she feels another.

And she realizes at that moment that an unseen force has been pulling her, as if by magnetic attraction, down the path she chose to turn onto not a block before.

She doesn't know what it is, and it might well be dangerous, but the compulsion is to follow it, and it is hers to decide.

Liana shifted her shoulders, testing out this odd feeling. It was gentle, but persistent and solid. Another person might have found it perhaps to be annoying, but not Liana.

I wanted something to happen, after all, she thought, And this definitely qualifies!

She relaxed into the tug, and let it pull her along to its intended destination, whatever that might be.

Liana jumped, startled. Who said that?!

The voice sounded again. Help me, please...

What can I do? Liana looked about, taking in the sealed doors, the cameras. How can I get in?

*Aveto smiles*
he drops off the roof of the building and pushes liana into the buildin the he too enters and hides in the shadows.

The tug is coming from a specific hall, and the voice finds her again.



Since this is telepathically conveyed, Aveto is not present of it, but he senses as soon as he is inside the facility that there is something unsettling going on here... it feels like great power plugged up inside a bottle.

She turns a corner into a secure area, and she sees several security guards, a woman in a labcoat, and a young man dressed in official clothes of some sort... and there, on the hospital bed behind them, is a young man, restrained to the bed, pale and weak looking, wrapped in blankets. When she peeks around the corner he makes eye contact with her. She sees in him, in that instant, a sublime goodness.



Liana sees no keys, but there is a security nook just off from the room... the restraints are mechanical, and probably controlled from there. But there are two security guards inside.

((Continue in the thread Crosshaven Labs, for now?))

Liana made sure to stay well out of sight, and analyzed the situation. The young man had been the one asking for her help, and she'd promised she woud help him. She wasn't going to go back on her word, but this was going to take some careful planning.

He didn't look like he'd be very capable of running off, even if she undid the restraints, so that would probably leave her to handle transporting him. She could do it, but it woud be a bit unweildy and awkward enough that she didn't want to leave the success of the escape based solely on how fast she could run. That meant that brute force - breaking into the security cubicle, freeing the guy, and running like hell out of there before someone could stop her - was entirely out of the question.

This was going to take some strategy. First, there was the matter of those guards... she rummaged in her bag, and, finding a red rubber ball, she proceeded to throw it so that it ricocheted off the walls and down the corridor past the security nook. She heard a bit of a crashing sound as it hit soemthing it shouldn't have, and smiled in satisfaction.

((Sure, I suppose - they seem to be in the middle of something there, though, and I was hesitant to break in with something...))
