BREAK-IN: Escha & Logy

[ And Escha is running over to that last box... Regrettably, she opens it. ]

Ew...!

I'm finding bones too... What kind of a storage room is this? We're not supposed to put it together, are we? It's not a weird puzzle, right?

[fullthottle]

[Is it a weird puzzle? There's only one way to confirm or deny Escha's theory.

There's no ledge for Logy to place the arm, but he will find a couple of buckets next to the sink. The kind with the little wheels on it, meant to carry water for a mop.

Unfortunately for Escha, she will find the skeletal remains of a left arm. It seems to be holding something between its bony fingers.]

[airshipped]

The only way to check is to put it all together.

[Is there anything in those buckets?]

[applechemist]

I really don't want to do that...

[ But knowing this place... It might be worth testing? Eugh.

First things first, what's in those bony fingers? Whatcha got there, dead guy? Something better than a shoe? ]

[fullthottle]

[Nothing in the buckets, except for maybe a dead bug or two! Ew. :(

How careful is Escha being with those bony little fingers? Because if she's too swift in her movement, the index finger is going to snap right off before she can get to the note the remains are holding onto.]

[airshipped]

[You know what? He'll take the bugs over more skeleton bits. Time to pick up the skeleton arm (gross).]

I'm not excited about it either, but we might find something useful.

[applechemist]

[ Escha is going carefully... Don't want to break Mr. Bones... ]

I wouldn't put it past this place to make us do something like that just to get back out of this room.

[fullthottle]

[Thank you, Escha. Mr. Bones happily lets go of the note as long as she's careful! When she pulls the note out, she will see that someone has scribbled a single word on the slip of paper.]

BOXES

[Hm...?]

[airshipped]

[He'll put his skeleton arm in a bucket, wash off his hand of the black goo, (it washes off right?), and retrieve the arm before joining Escha on the other side of the room.]

We could try to break it open if it came to that.

[applechemist]

We did it once, I guess.

[ When Logy gets to her, she holds out the paper to him. ]

I found this. And the boxes had a left leg - with a shoe? A torso, and a left arm. With the arm you found, that means it's missing, what, a skull and and a right leg?

[fullthottle]

[The black goo does, in fact, wash off! Lucky.]

[airshipped]

Boxes...? Do you think it's suspicious that this is legible? Most of the other writing around here is in demon script.

[His gaze settles on the boxes that are on the floor.]

Maybe the rest of it is in those?

[applechemist]

Maybe it was written by someone else...? Like someone from one of the previous groups. Oh no, do you think this skeleton is from one of them?!

[ She's too grossed out to be scared... But heads over to the boxes to start looking through them. ]

[fullthottle]

[Ganba, Escha... They won't have to dig through the boxes for long, because they'll eventually stumble across one that rattles when they shake it. Surely enough, the other leg is inside — complete with a matching shoe.

That's nice.]

[airshipped]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was from one of them.

[He'll put the arm with the rest of the skeleton for now.]

All that's left is the skull.

[Is there anything else in these boxes if they keep opening them?]

[applechemist]

[ Escha is over here arranging bones out on the floor. Siiiigh. Do you know how much cool stuff you can make with bones? Bones are a fine ingredient!

Well, she wouldn't want to use human bones, but still. This time she's taking the shoes to look at them, but she's from a fantasy world so what the fuck is MT.14:25. ]

Maybe it's in the lockers?

[fullthottle]

[Are they arranging the bones in any particular order, or just tossing them all in the bucket?

When Escha takes a closer look at the shoes, she'll realize that the blue bits on the sole are actually translucent. Inside, she can see what appears to be water.]

[airshipped]

[He'll go and check on the lockers and see if he can open any of them. Or are they locked?]

[applechemist]

[ Escha is actually going to take the bones out of the bucket to lay them out into person-shape! And, huh. ]

There's water in these shoes.

[fullthottle]

[Well. Logy might want to hold off checking the lockers, since one of his feet will bump into something small — immediately sending it across the room. There's a soft click from the direction it skittered off to, almost like something plastic hit the wall.

The bones will, mysteriously enough, snap into place as Escha lays them out into a person-shape. If she tries to pull them apart, she'll realize that they seem to be stuck together now.]

[airshipped]

Still? Shouldn't it have evaporated by now?

[Since he's not looking at the skeleton at the moment, he's going after the plastic noise to figure out what the object is.]

[applechemist]

Maybe it's... Magic water?

I don't know, but there's some weird code on them, too. Maybe I'll bring them back to show to Dick. He's good with codes.

[ Haha... Code... Anyway when she's got the bones laid out she'll go to inspect the lockers. Logy seems to have gotten distracted but she's sure there's a good reason! They can delegate! ]

[fullthottle]

[As Logy follows the noise, he will see something thin and white on the ground next to the wall. Will he take a closer look?

Given the fact that there's only one source of light in the room, it's kind of difficult to see the lockers clearly. However, it does look like there's something strange about them. Odd swirls and lines across the three of them. If only they had more light...]

[airshipped]

[Don't like that.

Yes, unfortunately. Time to see what this is.]

[applechemist]

[ Escha huffs. If that's writing, she can't read it!!! But can she open up the lockers, even with the dark? ]

I wish we had more light!
