Wait,<i>"we're"</i>heading over to that pillar?  Apparently Lucien was still in this.  He would have liked to go back to the clothing shop to get his gear, but it appeared he was going to be fighting in a dress.  At least it was a convincing disguise,<i>somehow</i>, so they might not recognize who he was.<br/><br/>The area below the pillar was in chaos.  A crowd had formed below where a squad of ShinRa guards had created a barricade around the entrance to the fenced off area the pillar controls were located.  The crowd was understandably suspicious of ShinRa's presence there with an armed guard, especially considering this clearly wasn't a construction crew, and were shouting for answers even while being shoved away and having guns pointed in their faces.  "This isn't good.  There's no way past them without a fight and they might turn on the crowd if provoked." Lucien said, though not entirely sure Rauly would even listen in his present emotional state.  He rested a hand on the larger man's shoulder, "We need some kind of diversion.  Focus their attention elsewhere and sneak past."
