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!]

[airshipped]

Let's see if there's another option first.

[Is the left side of this locker against a wall? Could they break it there?

Or if he tries to move it any direction, will it move? Or is it too heavy?]

[applechemist]

Okay. One last check!

[ She's going to go look for another light source, then. Maybe if she looks at those shelves REALLY closely?? ]

[fullthottle]

[The left side of the locker is, indeed, against the wall! The lockers are just kind of wide enough to span from wall to wall when they're together like this, actually. Logy can sort it nudge it forward if he puts his back into it, but it's very heavy.

Escha can rummage around the shelves all she wants, but if there's an additional lightsource, it's not one that's part of this room.]

[airshipped]

[He'll nudge it forward a little bit on his own.]

Escha? Could you help me bring this away from the wall? It's heavy, but it should be more manageable if we work together.

That way we can break it from the side or the back.

[applechemist]

I don't know if we can break it open from the back... If we get it all bent up we can get the door off, but just breaking it open seems tough...

And what if we knock it down and then can't get to the door anymore?

[ She still comes over and gets into position to help, though. She has concerns, but trusts Logy's judgment! ]

[fullthottle]

[Assuming they're willing to spend several minutes nudging the locker forward, even when the backpain starts to set in — sure. It makes a horrible, horrible screeching noise as the metal of the locker is pulled across the floor, but they should be able to nudge it forward enough that one of them could squeeze in behind it. The space isn't large enough for the two of them, however.]

[airshipped]

Even if we can't open it that way, it's probably a good idea to check if there's anything back there.

[Tragically he's never seen this kind of locker before.

That's a lot of work and this twink is very sore.

But he'll slip into that space to check what the back looks like and the wall. If he's even able to see anything.]

[applechemist]

You're right.

[ Time to knock over a locker. ]

[fullthottle]

[There's




















absolutely nothing there that Logy can see. With the poor lighting in the room and the way the locker is angled, it is way too dark to pick up any sort of detail. Logy will, however, perceive that it smells heavily of dust back there. Here's to hoping he doesn't have a sensitive nose.]

[airshipped]

There's nothing back here but dust... It's too dark to really see anything.

[He'll slip back out.]

Okay. Let's break it.

[Let's try hitting the right side.]

[applechemist]

Okay!

[ ESCHA SMASH ]

[fullthottle]

[ESCHA'S GONNA WRECK IT

Which is to say— it's very effective! If they hit it from the right side, the metal will dent and distort with ease. It doesn't seem like it's going to break open, considering they're hitting the side, but if their goal is to beat the locker to a pulp? They're getting there.]

[airshipped]

Hm. It's weak, but there aren't any seams on this side.

Let's go back to the front.

[rest in pieces, whatever was written here.]

[applechemist]

It was worth a shot.

[ Despite appearances, Escha is the brawn in this relationship.

And so: ESCHA SMASH but, like, the front. Trying to hit it in ways that will make the door break!! ]
