Styx Institute - Private Room
 |
The power went out? What kind of cutting-edge facility has a power outage? Hm!? What was that?! Huh... My choker came off. I've got my magic back. Now there's an alarm?! Just what is happening out there?! I'll try paging the staff... Hmm, no luck there. The intercom's not getting any power. And the door's locked... Oh, wait. That's right. I've got these products here. Like this toner... I lose naught and fear naught. This shining crown was made for me. Fairest One of All. Anything that touches this toner will instantly dissolve into nothing. Now I'll just apply some to the lock... And voilà. It has dissolved. Just a little bit is all it takes. |
Styx Institute - Hallway
|
The door at the end of the hall has been completely destroyed... What kind of subject was kept there, I wonder? This is all very odd. While it works in my favor, a subject has escaped. Yet there's no alarm and no staff scrambling to deal with it. For now, I'd best release the others from their rooms. I believe Jamil was in the one next to mine... Jamil, are you all right? |
 |
Vil! What's going on? What was that alarm and all that shaking? |
|
We'll discuss after we get the others. That's everyone. |
 |
Who was in the room at the end of the hall? I'm gettin' a whiff of some vaguely familiar magic... |
|
I haven't the faintest idea. The door was already destroyed by the time I got out, and no one was in there. |
 |
Whoever they were, they blew a door made with anti-magic materials clean off. They must be quite the formidable mage. |
|
We shouldn't assume the other subjects would be able to think and reason like us. We need to stay sharp. |
 |
I'm concerned about the escaped subject, but we do have more pressing matters. |
|
Agreed. There's a distinct miasma hanging in the air. |
|
That's high-density blot, all right. |
|
...Do you think something's gone wrong at Tartarus? There are supposedly over 10,000 Phantoms there. |
|
It's possible. |
|
We don't want to inhale too much of this stuff. Since we can use magic now, I suggest we change into our dorm uniforms. They have strong magical defenses. |
 |
We were also able to summon the magical pens Styx confiscated from us. It was worryingly easy. Something is definitely afoot. |
??? |
Magic readings detected within 10-meter radius. Termination mode engaged. |
