WEEK 2: April 8th - April 12th

[cartesio]

Second Week

Seven days have passed. Quite peaceful days, almost too peaceful. The town has welcomed you, excited to see tourists for the first time in many, many, many years. Some may have liked the peace, others may have been annoyed by it, but it was undeniable Cartesio seemed like such a nice and safe place it was hard to believe you had been told to kill each other.

But the threat is still up in the air. What's more: how much patience does the Sergeant have left?

Every time you take a look into the Lodge, you see the Sergeant. Lately he's looking more and more annoyed. Even though you can't see his face, you can feel he's getting frustrated. How long will it be before he lashes out and does something about these peaceful days?

Nobody in the town could suspect the harrowing times that'd befall Cartesio.

When you wake up on Sunday, you'll find new maps in the map rack and brochures on the table, showing places you hadn't noticed in the town before. Enjoy!

[ :< :< :< Rude. He is shaking it to cool it off though before passing it over to her. ]

I didn't think. [ Which is normal. ] I think there was a lock door back that way.

[robitussin]

...If you're going, I'm coming with you.

[Someone needs a babysitter, maybe.]

[linearcrash]

[ Yeah. He does.

Okay, time to go back to that locked door to try the key out? ]

OBSTACLE

[cartesio]

[The ancient-looking padlock is opened with the ancient key. Pretty easy, all things considered.

The stairs into the basement warehouse are rather dark, almost pitch black. However, it seems to be one long hallway, flanked by shelves with many boxes, and in the end, attached high on the wall, is your objective. The neon sign is the only light in this warehouse, shining blue and green on the back wall

But it's way too high to reach just by standing there. Not only that, it also is nailed to the wall. You'll have not only reach it, but also rip it off somehow.

Good luck, everyone]

[robitussin]

[To Nine:]

Think it would work if I got on your shoulders?

[linearcrash]

Yeah. Let's try it, yo. [ He will kneel down so she can start climbing up. ]

[pursuitofdeath]

There are nails on there-- you're going to have to give it a tough yank. But don't worry-- I'll catch you if you fall!

[...........let's hope it doesn't come to that.]

[robitussin]

[She's in the midst of climbing up, when—]

...Better idea. Does anyone have something on them that I could use to pry it off?

[relieable]

[is there a hammer to be seen in the room?]

Should we start lookin' in those boxes for something to pry it off with?

[cartesio]

[When you climb on Nine, Natalie, you realize you're not high enough yet.

If the plan is to use people as your ladder, you may need one person more. Pity the person on the bottom of the ladder]

[pursuitofdeath]

...I can give you something to tie around it and pull, but not much else.

Re: OBSTACLE

[tuffguy]

[ I probably know the answer but what is the floor of the basement made of? ]

Re: OBSTACLE

[cartesio]

[Concrete! Very smooth concrete]

[tuffguy]

[ Bolin rubs his feet across the floor, trying to feel the earth in it

and

he got nothing ]

Nope, don't think I can bend this.

[silvertongueheir]

[So, he probably can't make plants grow through it, right? To create a cushion just in case the human ladder crashes?]

[cartesio]

[Nope. Looks like only dust and grime can grow on this warehouse floor]

[linearcrash]

[ WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT it sounds like it could be made of something creepy ]

[tuffguy]

[ it's just regular concrete, but bolin is rubbing his feet against it ]

Nope, got nothing.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino just. Look up at that. And then takes a few steps back.]

I'm going to let someone [taller] else handle this one.

[kingbomber]

[ Huh, how high is it up there?

Is it like, basically almost high to the point it meets the ceiling, somewhere in the middle, or neither of these two? ]

[cartesio]

[The first, almost meets the ceiling!]

[kingbomber]

[ That's fine.

He told them to move aside, so like, he did give them fair warning.

So, Bakugou is going to be focusing a blast into one point with both of his hands, and shooting it towards the ceiling nearby where the thing is (but not too close so he doesn't like destroy it or something by accident), and this is just to help loosen the damn thing from it's nailed position against the wall so it can fall.

That's the intention anyway. ]

[cartesio]

[Nine's bandages plan did half of the work on loosening the neon sign instead of the steel. A explosion close to it finishes the work...almost too well. The top part of the blue section of the neon sign shatters, and the sign turns off right before it falls from the steel fixture...but at least it's mostly intact, so that should be okay. Also, crumbles of concrete fall from the ceiling. Careful down there!

Also good thing Natalie and the others are ready to catch the sign]

[linearcrash]

Hey, hot guy. How well can you control your powers anyways?

[ IT IS PROBABLY THE WORST IDEA BUT it's tempting ]

[kingbomber]

I can control my Quirk pretty damn well.

[ ... ]

Move aside.
