Ian looks at the chief officer, and squints a bit at him. "Mk...Thanks..."
He walks over to the chief, hands in his pockets.
"You...wouldn't happen, to be able to, you know, just, make everyone move, would you...?" He sighs, having a guess at what the answer might be.

"Nighttime? Already?" Akira ponders aloud. She looks at her hands. Yes, she seems to be in one piece. "I suppose... I must get to the next room..." She eyes the corkboard suspiciously, glancing from scattered note to scattered note. "Hm... I wonder who could'v been here",and softly takes one of the notes from its place to read what was written on it.

Ian (Crowd):
"Nnnnope. Sorry, no can do. I can't just let random people enter this place." said the cheif, which was contradicting the fact that random people were walking by, saying "Hi!" to the officers, and walking blatantly into the building with no stopping them.
Akira (Commonplace):
One of the notes says: "Welcome to BlanCorp!" Another, red, ripped note has "You need to lea" scrawled on it.
Your 88 cents are resting atop the keyboard in front of you. The computer is on.

Ender (Dementia):
You don't wake up.
In your mind, a strange vision appears:
A black smiley face with red features rolls your way. It says: "Hello. I don't like you, and I think that the feeling is mutual. How are you?"

Ender(in his mind). "What the?!"
Damn, I never did like smiley faces
"Really...you don't like me, eh? In that case, I guess I'll just have to...DESTROY YOU!!" Ender raises his fist to attack the smiley face.

Ender (Dementia)
The smiley face dissapears, but the voice remains. "Aggressive, eh? I see. shocking." A high voltage electrical circuit shocks through your dream body. You still don't wake up.
"You may want to reconsider."

"AAAUUUGH!"
Ender stands panting, trying to pull himself together. He stands again and glares into the nothingness..
"Who the hell are you?"

Ender (Dementia):
"I can't tell you that. But, that will be your goal..."
You wake up in a white, padded room with a straightjacket on. The buckles are slightly loosened. There is a barred window about 5 feet above your head.

Ender struggles for a moment trying to get out of the straitjacket.
After several minutes, a sweatier Ender stands in the padded room with a straitjacket in his hand. He looks up at the barred opening. He then tries to chuck the straitjacket over one of the bars to create a temporary rope.

Ender (Dementia):
The bar breaks off and falls to the floor, bouncing a couple of times.
Only problem: The alarm just went off.
You can hear what sounds like a regiment of guards right outside the door, attempting to pound the door in.
A voice in your mind says "If they catch you, it's over..."

Ian raises an eyebrow at the people walking in, and heaves another sigh. "Right, right."
He looks up and examines the officer. I, wonder, if the usual stereotypes apply, here...
Though he finds himself a bit reluctant at first, Ian finally manages to say,
"Hey, uhm, look, there's, a donut shop, over there..." He points in a random direction. "Why don't...you go...check it...out..."
His voice fades out, realizing this attempt seems rather futile in execution.

Ian (Crowd) "Look. That's just insulting to me and all of the rest of us. We are not bumbling, obese, cops with an affinity for donuts, we are hardworking, diligent, and loyal law enforcers!" He returned to his post, pointing to the sky and muttering to himself.

Akira grabs the mouse, and the screen flickers to life. Questions raced through her mind, "Who was that voice?" "What am I supposed to do with my 88 cents?" "Am I really going... to die?"
As the screen clears, Akira decides to check who owned the computer. Perhaps an email or an IM adress of some sort would act as proof to who the voice was.
She would have to act fast; the ripped, red note's foreboding message still lingered on her mind.

"Damn it!" Ender stares at the door.
Maybe it would have been smart to look around...
Ender takes a quick look around and and then breaks down the rest of the bars from the window.
Two priorities: (1) escape (2) protection
Ender stuffs the iron bars in his trench coat pockets and then ties the straitjacket loosely around his neck. He then hurriedly attempts to jump and pull himself up to the window.
So...this is a game...I like games...specifically winning

Akira (Commonplace):
The computer is a normal Dell PC with a LogiView monitor. Nothing out of the ordinary. The computer screen shows that you can access an e-mail program, the internet, AOL Instant Messenger, minesweeper, World of Warcraft (?!?), and something called "02110"
A new note, in blue, says "02110"
Ender (Dementia):
You scramble up to the window just as the door starts to buckle under what seems to be the ouside force of a battering ram.
The voice says: "So you like games...? Good. You are going to like what I have in store for you, then."
The window buckles under your weight, and you just barely manage to hang on to the other side.
Looking down, it seems that the red brick building seems to have infinite height. The guards manage to bust down the door, and just barely notice your fingers from the other side of the room.
"WHERE IS HE?" "There is no trace of him!" "No! Those are his fingers!" "GET HIM!" All of the guards starts climbing up the walls of the padded room. You may want to let go, unless you have a better idea...

"God damn it!"
Ender lets go, then quickly unties the straitjacket from his neck and tries to use it as a make-shift parachute.

Ian blinks, before turning around and looking at the area to which the officer points. He squints hard at it.
((If there's anything of interest there, this post stops here. ))
He frowns, before turning back to the officer.
"I'm not, quite sure, what you're looking at, but, I, actually am in a bit of a fix, here." He rolls up his left sleeve to where his wound is. "I, was sortof, given, this, by this guy I, don't really know."
He points to a random guy, preferably one in a trenchcoat or carrying a suitcase.
"That's him, so, it'd be great if you could, you, know, go apprehend him, now...?"
He pauses for a bit to see the officer's reaction, and then adds in an afterthought.
"Oh, he's, also, pretty dangerous, and, heavily armed, so I'd advice that, everyone on the police squad does it. That is, if, it's not too much trouble. I'll, stand guard here, to, make sure, that..." He gives a mix between a cough and clearing his throat. "No one comes in here during, your, absence."
He sticks his hands into his pockets again and starts whistling a random tune.

"This one is... strange..." Akira thinks to herself. Her hand tightens its grip on the mouse, and she moves the cursor over the program icon of program 02110. Intrigued by the blue note, she double-clicks.

((Triple update!))
Ian (Crowd):
"Sorry... no can do, boy. I'm not as dumb as you think. You just pointed at a jogger in a skin-tight suit, you know that?" He was right. "And... no. I'm not leaving until my shift is over. Just... get out of here, will ya? You're starting to bug me, and you usually don't want to bug people with pistols in their pockets."
Akira (Commonplace):
The program expands just to find a strange document with the text:
"01110 02110 03110 04110 05110 06110 07110 08110 09110 10110 4263 6837"
The text lingers for a moment, then closes. The blue note on the corkboard has dissapeared.
The phone rings.
Ender (Dementia):
You fall down... down... down... down...down... and land on something soft.
"Huh?" You're back in the same room you were just in!
The guards are not banging on your door, and the bars are back over the window.
Maybe you should try something different...

Akira waits until the phone has rung twice, and tentatively picks up.
"Hello...?"

Akira (Commonplace)
"...Hello? Ms. Hikari? Yes, this is Jill, from Reception. One of the men in Human Resources would like to speak with you, is that ok? Do you know how to get there? No? They are on the 10th floor. Once you get out of the elevators, take a left, go past the cubicles, take a right, and a .... Mr. Spector will be ready to see you. Got all of that?"
You feebly nod to nobody. Are you sure that you can remember that? And what about the other programs on the computer?

Alright.. uhmm ... 10th floor...left...or was it right?
"Could you... maybe repeat that?" The phone line dies, and a dial tone rung out. Akira sighs, and places the phone back on the desk. She assumes that the computer belonged to this... Mr. Spector character... and decides to leave the computer alone.
She grabs the coins from the keyboard and hurries down the corridor past the cubicles, following the sign labelled "Elevator ------->". She arrives at the elevators, hops inside, and punches the buttons 1 and 0. The doors close. As the elevator moves, Akira thinks to herself, "Maybe... I should've looked at the other programs..." She didn't think much longer because at that moment, the elevator jerked to a stop, and the doors opened.
Akira steps out, bewildered.

It doesn't quite seem right. Sure.. there are the cubicles... Sure, there are the walls... but there is something out of place that you can't quite place yet. Anyway, you try to follow the directions given by the receptionist but become hopelessly lost within the maze of cubicles.

"Oh darn it..."
Akira peers around the wall of another cubicle, only seeing an empty desk and a pen resting on it. 23rd peering to no avail. Akira decides to try to find her back to the elevator.
"If I had turned left, then I'd have to turn... right to get back... but did I-...?" Akira turns right, and is left facing a large, empty corridor lined with cubicles on both sides. "I'm... on the right floor .... right?" Akira ponders, but she can't remember which floor she was supposed to meet Mr. What's-his-face-from-HUman-Resources on.
"HELLO??" She yells aloud. If the man from Human Resources was on this floor, perhaps he would hear her.
