[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!

[fullthottle]

[As it turns out, it's a marker! One with a white body and a black cap, to be specify. Neat.

Unfortunately, though, the lockers are... locked.]

[airshipped]

I found a marker over here.

[He'll pick it up.]

... It'd be more useful if it was a candle or something.

[Anyway time to join Escha at the lockers, and open the marker. Is it just a black marker?]

[applechemist]

A marker...? Maybe that's what the marks on the lockers are from...

[ She squints at them... Dark... ]

Should I hit them? Maybe I can break them open.

[fullthottle]

[It's just a black marker, yes.]

[airshipped]

[Cool, I'm glad there's one normal item in this cursed storage closet.]

Maybe we can pry them open?

[By which he means he's capping the marker, putting it in his pocket, then sticking his sword in the gap between the door edge and the rest of the locker.]

[applechemist]

It's worth trying.

[ And Escha is ready to just... Smack it with her staff if that doesn't work. ]

[fullthottle]

[Hm.

There are three lockers, each one just the right size for a whole ass person to fit inside of them. With each door being made of cheap metal, their bullying has... pretty immediate effects, actually! There's a nice, big dent where Escha's staff smacked it, and Logy is definitely bending the metal with his sword. If they continue with this, they could theoretically pop the leftmost locker open.

Downside is that they're really messing with whatever is written on the lockers. But that's probably fine, right?]

[airshipped]

[Too bad they can't get a light in here, huh? Since it's bending alarmingly easily, he'll stop for to check in.]

This is a lot more fragile than I was expecting.

How important do you think what's written on these lockers is?

[applechemist]

The last note we got just said Box!

[ So she doesn't think the writing is going to be that important. ]

Don't you want to know what's inside?

[fullthottle]

[The lockers will wait for them until they make their choice.]

[airshipped]

[thanks for being polite]

That was actually legible. This isn't.

[applechemist]

... It's up to you, but I want to break it.

[fullthottle]

[The lockers are very polite, thank you!]
