Yeah, if there were a place for you to take a break while you figure stuff out, this would probably be the most convenient place to take a step back on. Definitely don't push yourself if you're not feeling up for it, that's all good!

Something he would notice as he moves through is that the darkness seems to be thinner when looking towards the center of the 3rd floor, though it'd be unable to be seen what's behind it until moving through, which would still take a bit of time. In the meantime, his movements would feel somewhat weighted, as if wading through ankle-deep water.
Though I would also like to give people who haven't posted the opportunity to make a reply first! You'd be good to post again after @Psyker Landshark and @Sifr can get a reply out, though.

Yeah, you'd get mental pings when new notifications pop up like a new text or a request for a voice or video call, but they still need to be attended to like a phone. Chunji being away from his Adapa would unfortunately mean that, at the moment, Chunji wouldn't be able to know anything other than that his Adapa was messaged.
Sure!
Woot!
Also this Oziah guy might be a jobber.
EDIT: Also Nanaya. If Chunji were to ascend to the third floor, what would Chunji see? Could he pinpoint anyone (espescially Davil) if he were on that floor?
The 3rd floor in its current state would be pure darkness, but not natural darkness. It's as if either magic was cast or essence was manipulated such that a near impenetrable darkness coats the entirety of the 3rd floor. All lights would be disabled as well as cameras. In the current state of things on the 3rd floor, Chunji would see better than many would be able to, but he would nevertheless only be able to see to the ends of the two hallways breaking off north and east from him; neither of which contain anything of particular note, within his vision.
Back in business.

Amidst the chaos, it was trivial for Chunji to bypass the cautious gazes of the guards. His Adapa had put on a convincing show of things, and combined with the notion that the last thing tower security would focus on at this moment would be a rodent, it wasn't long before he had moved away from the worst of things. As guards stormed past him without so much as a glance, Chunji would be able to find the southwestern staircase and ascend to the second floor of the tower.
Upon scanning with his Ethos, Chunji would see much of what could be expected - guards either rushing towards the descending staircases or fortifying positions, and students either rushing to their rooms or peering out to inspect the emergency before being sternly instructed to lock themselves in their rooms by passing security. Lastly, Valen and a number of his followers appeared to be walking away from the northeastern staircase, presumably towards their rooms.
Were Chunji to look further up the staircase he was on, leading to the third floor, he would trails of black mist gently wafting down the stairs. Moreover, were Ciara to make it to the second floor by this point, Chunji would additionally see her emerging from the northwestern staircase.

"Grrrr... despicable...!"
Ozhiah stumbled against the nearby wall, desperately and promptly forming a Personal Barrier to divide himself from the essence drain; he would further defend himself by drawing in and incorporating the electric essence from the hall's lighting to shock away the shadows, making his barrier a danger to approach. The violent thrashing of lightning and wind held off the draining better due to how lively it crackled and raged, its aggressive desire to exist clashing against decay itself. He held off like this the best he could, relying on the fact that Ciara couldn't afford to stay around and do more than briefly repel her attackers. When the girl fled, Ozhiah leaned against the wall, out of breath and slumped over beneath the now flickering lights of the hallway. The cameras in his vicinity and up to the northeastern staircase on the first floor would malfunction and shut down from this, though the effect such absorption had on the boy's body would leave him clamoring to catch his breath by the time Iraleth had arrived.
"Apologies..." That was all Ozhiah could muster as Iraleth took off, a level of regret plain as day on his face that he was caught off guard in such a state.
Bulkheads in the hallways would indeed begin to close, cutting off the pursuit of guards. To Iraleth, these bulkheads would be durable enough to slow her pursuit - they were made of thick reinforced steel, and undoubtedly further enhanced with essence manipulation or magic. This would additionally be met with the frustrated cusses of tower guards that were also halted by these security measures, implying that it was not something they were informed of. It would seem possible to break through with Iraleth's armor, but it would take multiple focused strikes per door, rather than the hurried, casual breaking of walls seen prior. Amidst all this, the lighting of the halls would begin to shift as well, and shadows would gradually begin to dissipate along the ground and walls.
The changes to the tower's halls would be perceivable and immediately apparent to Ciara as well, who, were she to follow the instructions of the new voice, would eventually find herself at the northwestern staircase leading to the second floor.

So, kinda bad news on my end. The keyboard on my laptop is busted for some reason, and I won’t have the money to get it fixed or to buy a USB keyboard until closer to this weekend. In the meantime, I can try to chip away at a new round by typing on my phone (which I’m using now), but I can’t make any promises on that.
Mmm, there aren't too many places he could hide right now, unless he snuck into a nearby room. There would be a door near him leading into what appeared to be some kind of alchemy room, so Chunji could try that. As for the stairs, they would be located on the northwestern, northeastern, southwestern and southeastern corners of the tower. The current closest stairs near Chunji ascending to the second floor would be to the southwest.
He wouldn’t see Davil on any cameras, but there would be something notably odd right away: all of the cameras on the third floor are currently offline. Additionally, his security clearance doesn’t seem to allow him to view cameras on the 50th floor - the highest floor - or the basement cameras.
