This is the first floor of the 320 building, and mostly consists of retail spaces. Every entrance is powerfully barricaded except the back door to the main lobby. The garage and loading dock roll-downs are rolled down.

Establish scene. People were basically moved over, but had not unpacked. Seth and his assistant du jour Wil had met up with Jordan and his assistant, and were tarrying briefly in the 320 lobby to discuss the moment. Subsequentement, Eldreds entered. Wil- "It's good to almost be done, huh?"
Seth- "Yup, moving is never fun."
Jordan- "I know it!"
Danielle- "Hey, it's Edda and Ricky."
Edda- "Hello all."
Ricky- "..."
Jordan- "Hey, Seth, maybe this is a good opportunity for you to meet one of the leaders of our community, Edda Eldred."
Seth- "Hi Edda, nice to meet you. I really hope you'll all like it here. "
Edda- "Yeah about that... We need to talk before we get unpacked."
Seth- "Sure, what's on your mind?"
Edda- "Well, it's really more about Jordan, but you're welcome."
Jordan- "What's on your mind, Edda?"
Edda- "Well... Some of us are tired of your leadership, and want to do things differently."
Jordan- "Aww, I'm sorry! What's the problem? I'm sure we could reach a --"
Edda- "There you go again with the human resources jibber jabber. Do you even know how to be real?"
Jordan- "Hm. Point taken, but that's not what this is about, I imagine..?"
Edda- "Ya right. It's all that satanism shit. Magic sex rituals and what-have-you."
Seth- "Oh yes, the rituals. I think Jordan is aware now that people shouldn't be made part of something they didn't agree to..... right?"
Jordan- "That, of course! I nev--"
Edda- "It ain't enough, Jordan. Ya shouldn't have been in a position to make that 'mistake' because you should never have been a leader. Maybe that shit flies at corporate, but not with real people."
Danielle- "*byutch*"
Wil- "Whoa, hey, no! Don't make this be like that, young lady!"
Seth- "Well.. 'self-governance' and all, maybe it'd be good to put democracy into action?"
Jordan- "Of course, now that we've come to a home with a management infrastructure in place, I can abdicate without too much mayhem until you can choose a new leader. And Danielle, knock it off."
Danielle- "Okey dokey!"
Edda- "Really? Really? You'll step down, just like that?"
Jordan- "Scout's honor. I only accepted leadership to help my people, and if they're better off with me in a different capacity, --"
Edda- "We ain't your 'people.' You ain't family, man. I don't want nothing to do with you. No you, no magic, no satan."
Danielle- "..."
Wil- "Not again!"
Seth- "Oh man, not again indeed. Now here's a question, if there is no leader for this enclave, does the authority default to me as the de facto leader of the rest of this building? Well, I don't know, but if one were striving for fairness, if there's no Satanism allowed, there can't be any other religion either..."
Edda- "What in the name of... Have you lost your ever-lovin' mind?!"
Wil- "That does seem kinda extreme!"
Jordan- "Of course no one is going to do that. Nobody here wants to denigrate anyone's deeply held convictions."
Seth- "Well, I'm not saying it either. That's just the natural conclusion, you know? Ya can't just ban one religion, if things are supposed to be equal and fair. Anyway, I certainly think we should be especially careful with magic until we know what it does. If that stuff works now, if it's not done right it could be a big problem."
Edda- "But satanism ain't a god-damn religion! Do you really buy that? It's just some juvenile hippy crap about rejectin' Jesus, and ya learned it from a god-damn teenager too!"
Ricky- "Oh man..."
Seth- "But shouldn't people be allowed their juvenile hippy crap? It's the post-apocalypse after all."
Jordan- "I'm not the most devout satanist, mind you, but we really should avoid referring to religions as juvenile, or minimizing their status or importance in the lives of adherents."
Danielle- "heeheehee"
Edda- "That's it! We're moving out! I got friends at Tower 801. I'm getting all the interested Christians, and getting out of here."
Seth- "Well rule one is that everyone is free to go, so okay. But I just wonder, why does it seem like some Christians always gotta be so concerned with that *other* people do that's got nothin' to do with them?"
Ricky- "Whut, wha... We gotta move all that stuff again? Damn."
Edda- "Salvation is everybody's business. It don't do no good to have people actin' like Sodom and Gomorrah when you're this damn close to Judgement."
Wil- "Ma'am that's just... That's crazy talk! I mean, believe what you want, but acting like it's the end times is going to get people killed! Please, don't go!"
Jordan- "Please don't say religious beliefs are crazy, sir."
Edda- "I don't need you to defend me, creep!"
Seth- "Alright, come on. Edda, of course you can go wherever you like, and you can ask if anyone else wants to go too. We can help you get there to whatever extent we can, because we want everyone to be safe regardless if they are staying us or not. I hear Tower 801 is great, so I'm sure you'll all be fine there. I'll just ask that you don't misrepresent our view here-- everyone's free here to be Satanists, or to be Christians, or to be Atheists or anything else."

Jordan- "Not so great, but we'll be fine. Thanks, Micah."
Edda- "Outta the way, kid. I'm goin' upstairs and taking my people."
Danielle- "Don't let the door hit your--"
Ricky- "Oh man..."
Edda- "Come on, Ricky! We're gonna need help!"

Seth- "Damn it. Sorry Jordan. I probably should brush up on my diplomacy, last time it got me punched in the head."
Jordan- "Well, they'll be going to a safe place. I just can't help but feel like a kid that had to move, and we couldn't keep the dog, so the parents said they took it to a farm upstate, and so on..."

Danielle- "Haha. Looks like that's exactly where she's going."
Wil- "Aw, man, this sucks! What do we do?"
Seth- "Well, you might need to start training some minions, Micah...."

That was it! Just like that, the El Corazon invasion was reduced in strength! At the end of the day, Edda, Ricky, Tansy, Colleen, Sarah, Tarina, Karla, and Kayla moved to Tower 801. Kayla surprised the other kids, as she had been a secret Christian in the heart of the Satanic clique. Amanda and Tegan were a surprise to the Christians because they had been observing on Sundays, but were too pragmatic to justify going on the extra trip to a potentially less secure building.
That meant the following people were moved into the 320 building: Kyle, Kat, Bobby, Olivia, Breanna, Haley, Justin, Jen, Danielle, Roselle, Amanda, Tegan, Brian, Jarvis, Vincent, Rafael, Jordan, Phil, and Dr. Ortiz. They kept Jordan as interim leader and claimed the third floor of the 320 building...
FOR SATAN!
JK, they just all moved into that floor for safety - so there'd be people close at hand in an emergency. Plus it had a Comm Center and cool patio facing the 403 building. Hi guys!

Quite a little while later, gents came through the lobby, after a visit to the tattoo shop. Kyle- "Man, I wish I could tell you if it worked or not. I didn't get a feeling off it. But sometimes I don't and stuff still works."
Seth- "Either way it's gonna be stylish! I wonder how I'll find out if I have superpowers..."
Bryce- "Probably shriek and crash through a window, like LSD girl from that ABC after school special."
Kyle- "I have no idea what you're talking about, dude."
Seth- "Bryyyce. How do you even know about that? Was it on the Simpsons? Anyway, you're a total downer."
Brian- "Hey guys! Wow!"
Seth- "Hey Brian, what's happenin'."
Bryce- "Uh, we should go..."
Kyle- "Right, later dudes." Kyle jetted up the stairs, gangly limbs gangling. Brian apparently was on back door patrol.

Brian- "Right, well, before you take off, how about we chat for a minute?"
Seth- "Uh, sure. What's up?"
Bryce- "..."
Brian- "Um... I asked you about something a while back (he was looking at Seth), and I was wondering if you'd talked about it (at Bryce), and what you think."
Bryce- "Huh."
Seth- "I don't-- Ohhhh. Uh. No, we didn't talk about it..."
Brian- "Slipped your mind Snake, huh? Hey, it's alright. Things were pretty hectic and stuff..."
Bryce- "What are we talking about?"
Benji- "Aip!"
Seth- "Err, I feel like Bryce is gonna die of embarrassment..."
Brian- "Aww! It's nothing to be embarrassed about! Hey Bryce."
Bryce- "'Hey' what?"
Brian- "Hey, we're all grown-ups here. I was thinking, y'know, why not spice up life? Voulez-vous ménage à trois?"
Bryce- "... ... ..."
Seth- "Umm I hope he's not dead now. He's a--he's a youngster, you know how they are amirite? Maybe let us kick that around for a while."
Brian- "Oh you guys."
Bryce- "Naw, see, I'm hip, yeah, so, totally! Thinking about. It. We will! Because."
Seth- "Ahhhh yes."
Brian- "Yeah, heh. I'll see you around. Who'd have thought a guy in your line of work would be so shy about something like that, eh Snake?"
Benji- "Whuf?"
Seth- "Hm..."
