---------------------- Mirror Mirror On The Wall ----------------------
It should be any moment now. In a quiet lonely and empty alleyway that no one ever visited, a single individual kicked a can and it fell into an open garbage can in one fell swoop. There was a kind of restless energy inside this person. Something that threatened to explode. Shit needed to be done, but only when the others haul their asses here. Underneath the very noses of the populace and the Cadets, they have no idea what was happening. There was a sense of giddiness to be derived from manipulating all these sheep. But the true fun came from them attempting to triumph over a force that can be barely understood. It made this masked Jest wonder if they ever will at all?

The breaking sounds of the wheels as they churned was the ordinary handle of individuals went approximately their day by day lives. Ignorant of their genuine circumstance as the toys of the one with the evil grin, things proceeded as they were as all moved to this tune.
This tune of torment and wretchedness was as it were the starting, there more to be done in the title of L.
The one of wax was substance to a degree. The complexities of life were eradicated and supplanted with the feeling of suspending the act of thought. In any case of the result, it had to be the wants that they continuously looked for. Such was the lovely constable of the evil ones. When the one of wax arrived, the clothing was that of a work cap that was pulled down the larger part of the way to cover the eyes. With a combination of gloves, long sleeve shirt, and a pair of dark cargos, it was all topped off with a little tidy veil to cover the mouth.

The city was alive and well all around. The various transports zooming about, the various chatter of human and animal alike, the various smells that surrounded it all like a sickly perfume. The masses who lived in their safety bubble believing as long as something fought for them they would be forever safe. It was a foolish thought pattern, but one that could not be hated. After all, the masses were only children that had yet to be awaken to reality, but that was fine. Let them sleep on. Let them continue to be oblivious. In time, they too would get embrace by something beautiful, but not now. Not today. Today they got to stay a little while longer in their dreamland.
In the quiet alley where the figure of wax and the other masked man were, another would join the crowd dressed in similar black work clothing as the first. Black pants, black boots, a black jacket zipped up over a chest that suggested that whoever was underneath may have been a female. The tailored clothing and curves suggested the same. However the face was covered by the shade of the cap and the strange work of bandages and animal skin that hinted of pale skin underneath and red lips. Stopping within the ring of the two men that was there, the feminine figure would shift its weight to the right as green eyes looked from first the one of wax to the other that they assumed was here to give the orders.

The Masked Man noticed the three arriving to the scene. When there was two from last time, now there was three. Did the recruitment campaign those few nights ago actually work? It mattered little in the moment. He could recognize the two of them despite their disguise, but the third was new. "Three this time? Great. Studio's down the block. Can't miss it with a building that big. Don't worry about the receptionist. She won't even care, I dealt with her. You'll need to get into security and shut off the cameras. Hard for me to sneak in if those are on."
The Man drew out what seemed to be a a thick package that was almost the size of his torso from the side of the street. He held it up to accentuate why it would be difficult for him. "And we got good timing, the guards in there are gone since it's lunch. But some are still around in the hallways, you can nab a keycard from them if you're smart enough for it. Also, can you guys try to the set the fire alarm on? Helps to clear the crowd and makes things easier for me. It's optional, but I'd appreciate it. Any questions?"

As the rest of the group begun to appear, the one of wax had a little feel as to what to expect from a few of them. One of them was somebody that the one of wax had met some time recently, another was a lovely modern confront. Be that as it may, it didn't matter who it was, all that mattered was that they could drag their weight for this work. Tuning in to bearings was something associated with the standard of working with this happy group. There was a periodic gesture here and there, which implied that the one of wax was prepared to go and didn't need to squander any time.
"No questions from me. "
After the others replied, whether that had something to say or not, the mission would start.

Green eyes would drift to the third that entered though no words of greeting would come from those hidden red lips. As the one giving orders began to speak, she would listen and absorb it all. When the other was done speaking, she would blink slowly before her lips parted and she spoke.
“We’ll see what we can do for you, darling,” she would say her voice sweet like honey as she winked at the one who had given them orders. Then looking over at the other two with her she would continue. “Shall we then?” she would ask her tone seeming amused despite how calm she appeared to be on the surface.

the mask man talked. listening. understanding how the joke goes it happened the understanding how the joke goes. two men and a lady walk into a bar the bar is a studio for the joke. they hack the cameras. they trip the alarm to trip the people to take a trip outside. a man walks into a bar with a big box the bar is a studio for the joke. the punchline comes later. it is a funny punchline it will make people happy. they will get the joke.
new faces new friends new frowns to turn inside out it will be a good day. the time is flying the day is dying no more dying day time for goodbye. there were people to make happy and laugh and sing. Show us the way.

"Eager, aren't we? Just don't let the cameras see you doing anything suspicious and you'll be fine. Head on down. Meet me back here when you're finished." The Masked Man gave a thumbs up towards them in his approval and then jabbed it behind him before pointing with his index finger at the direction of the studio. it was a simple enough direction once they exited the alleyway. Taking the direction his fingers pointed at, they would easily notice a rather showy large building. It seemed to be housing several stages inside, something very close to a theater in a way. Once they got inside, there were a cluster of people meandering about in their own meaningless tasks. But in the center of it all was a woman at the receptionist desk. Though she seemed rather vacant, especially to the point to not noticing the group.
"..."
Now they were on their own with the crowd of people moving in and out with security guards fixed in their station. For further sense of security, the watchful eye of the cameras stared at the vacuous space before them. There was a dull muffled noise to their left and it was up to them if they wished to investigate it.
-----------------
Dungeon Sneaking:
It is your job to reach the green objective star. You must sneak around the map to reach it and you may use Shadow Accel in order to do so. However, each turn the guards will be looking around for anything amiss and there will be a pattern to it. You have the option to sneak around them or to knock them out. In order to do the latter, you must be on top of their square and they will be taken out of commission.
The red cones near them are the direction of where they are seeing. Like in any dungeon crawling map, they have a view range of 4 spaces in only one direction, this will include blocks. They cannot look around corners unless they move. If you manage to land within that range on the turn they look in your direction, then this mission has failed and you must escape or risk capture. To reiterate, if you are not on their square to knock them out and they are looking in your direction, you have been spotted. Good luck.
You may choose one person to represent the entire team. The entire team will move with this person as they post for the sake of expediency. That is optional.
If you are using Shadow Accel, be sure to notify me in PMs on your SP count.
Dungeon Key:
Gray Spaces and Camera Icon -- Security Camera Viewing Range
Red Star -- Guard. They won't pay attention to you unless you do anything suspicious. Can be taken out, but there are smarter ways of doing that...
Purple Dots -- QAS
Red Dots -- Crowds that may or may not disappear to their respective places per turn. Like the Guards, they won't care much.
Green Star -- Objective Star, security room.

Feeling as in case a small bit of work out could be utilized, the one of wax strolled ahead to the region. Holding up around the corner, their movement would stop until the watch turned absent. Ideally, the others would follow along.

3 right, stopping at the corner.

the fun never stops it just keeps going and going. point point fallow point go time to get the job done. the receptionist was a funny person. she got the joke. soon everyone would get the joke it was a funny joke. the guards could not get the joke they were too stupid it was a high brow joke. they were a different kind of joke. it was not a funny joke. it was a cruel joke there was no smiling and no punchline. this person and their MaGnIfIcEnT BeArD would not fallow the wax man. they did not want to tell the guard their joke. they would not laugh at the joke it was a funny joke but not for everyone they would ruin the punchline. stroll stroll stroll your feet gently up the room. merrily merrily merrily merrily seal the peoples doom.

They had their instruction and so away they went. She’d follow with quiet footsteps and gentle sways. When they entered the lively area, she would take note of the receptionist who seemed like she didn’t have a care in the world as the three of them walked right on in undisturbed. When they got to where they needed to be, she paused as she watched what was happening before her. The person of wax took one path and the one with the beard took another. There were no words to explain why this had happened. No words of what they expected of her. The pieces moved leaving her to choose. What to do? What to do? One had to wonder. Though wondering would be short lived as she gave one glance at the path the being of waxed had taken and then with a slow blink, shifted her weight and went with down the path the man with the beard had taken instead.
Movement:
2 up to join the Bearded One

After a moment, the crowd finally subsided as they went into their respective stations... Only the guards and the security cameras remain.

After exploring a bit, the one of wax figured that it was the off-base way to go and chosen to turn back instantly. Maybe a distinctive course would open up?
