Darren was tense with fear, really not feeling the whole "go into the alley" thing, but going along because he didn't want to be alone. Eli could see only one entrance in the alley, well covered by the goons. Maybe the roof would be more productive.

Darren followed him, still tense with fear. On the roof they tread as lightly as possible but still made some groaning noises and pings in the flimsy surface. There were skylights up here - not necessarily entry points, but good for scouting.

Darren let Eli do the scouting and stayed huddled near the skylight. Eli found two potential entrances, though they would definitely resist opening and might make a lot of noise. Trap doors, latched somehow on the inside. Back at the skylight, he could see the warehouse was not very full. The palettes were stacked low with long heavy-looking cardboard boxes. There were shipping labels he couldn't read from this distance and several people moving things around or talking.

The trap door was groaning, but might not be heard over other noises. Then again, it was hard to know how loud it was inside vs. outside. Did he keep at it? Meanwhile, Darren had come up beside Eli, as ready for action as he'd ever be.

He noticed his shadow powers actually seemed to be dampening the sound! Huh. Wonder if non-Sombretas can do that? Whatever the case, it didn't silence it completely, and was still hard to know what it sounded like inside. The door came open with a PING! that made Darren jump.

Nope. It didn't even count as partial invitation. His head snapped back without control and his nose had a stinging whiff of his own secondhand blood in it.

While he waited, Darren- "Wassup dude?"

Vitus- "Erm... Lots of ways, a lot are time consuming if you don't have the right powers. The best is get someone where you can hypnotize them and push the invitation. Can Demetri help?" Meanwhile, Darren looked at his shoelaces and rubbed his temple.

Darren- "Does this look bigger to you?" He gestured to his shoelaces, but with his fingers interlocked weirdly.

Darren- "Dude, look at my laces through my hands." If he did so, he could see that they were magnified and slightly distorted.
