open | event | All Shook Up!
Characters: Teams Alpha, Beta, and Charlie; also, everyone!
Date: February 17th (through 28th)
Location: Tu Vishan's shell damaged areas (multiple locations), sewers
Situation: There are a number of damaged sections of Tu Vishan's shell and the kedan are working at repairs and, where the turtle's flesh itself has been damaged, healing. There are many convoluted sewer passages now open that Foreigners technically could access, if they can make it past the police that have been stationed around each exposed area.
Warnings/Rating: Medical examinations, blood & gore references, sewage; to be updated as needed.
Exposed Areas
The damages sustained during the dive event are not excessive in number, but are plentiful enough to require work groups of kedan to be deployed in a twenty-four/seven repair schedule. They are signed into each area through one of Evandau's direct reports and their numbers are counted throughout the day to enforce strict controls over those that have access to Tu Vishan, their most precious resource.
Those making it past the checkpoints or sneaking through gaps in the sentries find that the Emperor did not lie about the damages done. There are scars near each damaged bit of shell that shift into spider webbed stress lines and end with the jagged edging of broken shell. Kedan workers are busy trying to clear away broken shell and install metal-and-wood framing that will hold these pieces back in place when they are done.
Beneath the surface, some are working at dams and blockages in what appears to be an ancient sewer system. The walls are smooth and indicative of architecture done in concert with the natural growth of the turtle. Lanterns provide some pinpoints of light where dark mosses have grown over the bioluminescent shell itself, but the further one goes from the work sites, the more one must rely upon the natural lighting of the shell in order to proceed.
At the core of each operation are the best healers that the kedan population has to offer. They can be seen tending torn and blooded flesh of a momentous scale, mending the damages done directly to the turtle to the best measure that they can. These areas are the most stringently guarded, for Tu Vishan is most vulnerable beneath the armoured layer of its shell.
Sewage meets most that enter the tunnels rather than skulking about the sites, with an unpleasant smell lingering in the nose and mouth the longer that one stays there -- oh, and in the clothes, which may make a stealthy exit more difficult if one is not downwind. The tunnels twist and turn aplenty, crossing one another with a design more evolutionary than engineered. Those that wander in are at risk of becoming lost beneath the surface, with only a few doors and small closet-like rooms to be found where tools were stored once upon a time.
Be wary, Foreigners! There are many a kedan patrolling these areas and they will give chase in an unauthorised party is found. Evandau briefed a number of the teams himself, advising that Foreigners are all considered unauthorised. Parties subject to arrest are to be brought to the surface and handed over to either the police or, once it's in place, Raylan's civilian team for eventual escort to the palace prison.

And it is, but... definitely not the way she expected. She draws to a halt for a moment, glancing from Kon to the two strangers, and frowning before she steps forward. They seem to be tracking her movements, but there's something not all there in their eyes, like maybe they're drugged or...
Natasha can't help a little shiver. Maybe she's wrong, but this feels all too familiar. Her eyes flick back to Kon. "Do you know these people?"
no subject
He takes in a deep breath and looks back to Natasha and nods.
"They were some of the first people here like me. Shifu I never really spoke to but Asami...I-She was a good friend.
They both vanished. Went home as far as we were aware."
no subject
"So what do we do with them? Leave them here?" It doesn't exactly seem right - there's no way to know how much of them is still there, if they're able to be helped - but they're a little short on other options. They might, if they're lucky, be able to follow simple instructions, but even so, they're not getting these two past the security around the breaches in the shell.
no subject
"We can't! Who knows what else will be done to them, and their one of us! They aren't just some...some thing to be experimented on!"
Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knows what Natasha is getting at. That to get them out of here would be incredibly difficult if they were to go with the stealth route, which was a must. He didn't want to have another run in with Evandau.
He frowns and looks back to Asami and then over to Shifu.
"We have to get them out of here. Look, guys, you've got to come with us!"
no subject
"We're not getting them out past the security around the shell breaches. Even if they'll follow and stay quiet..." She presses her lips together and glances over her shoulder, to the main room and the door beyond. "There might be a way out through the other door. I doubt whoever works here tends to arrive through the sewers, but there's no telling where we'll come out."
Maybe it'll be somewhere quiet and isolated where they can get out with a minimum of trouble - or maybe it'll be right in the palace with guards stationed everywhere. Natasha can't say she's sure it's worth the risk, when her main priority is getting out of here to let Steve know what's going on.
no subject
He walks back to the door and does a quick check, making sure no one was approaching. When he was satisfied, he looked back and went over to Asami, grabbing her hand.
"Let's just get going."
If they went one way and came across anyone, Kon was going to keep them away. If it was in the palace? He knew at least one way out and sadly that was through the front door, and only from the audience chamber.

"Fine, but-"
She goes still as Shifu speaks. Her fingers tighten around the scalpel, still in her hand, and she studies the panda for a moment before she answers.
"How is it supposed to go?"
no subject
no subject
"You have to! The kedan have done something to you and it's totally messed up your...everything. Look, none of us belong here and that includes you too. Both of you."
Kon was stubborn, he was always stubborn but were they going to get out or was Shifu going to put his paw down? He shook his head and took a step back.
"Please."
no subject
"What is this place? What do they do here?"
