[ this can be after they've done the OH NO WE'RE LOCKED IN oh NO WHAT DO WE DO oh nooo it's beginning song and dance.

shu's staring at the door, arms folded and twisting from side to side slowly, like he's properly examining this thing from all angles. eventually, once he's apparently done enough of that, he takes a couple of steps back and--


kicks the door really hard, right at the joint where the lock meets the door. the door does not budge. ]

[reinherits]

[hmmmmm]

Would you like any assistance, Shu? Perhaps with the both of us...

[roseoftexas]

Might as well. The lock can't be that strong.

[reinherits]

[hikari also attempts to use physical force presumably coordinating with shu who i godmod due to sneepy becks but to no avail]

[roseoftexas]

[ thank you jan i’m sure they were a beautiful tag team of failure. ]

…

So, the lock is that strong.

[damp]

[ not panicking, but panicking a little ]

Could you cut it with your sword?

[reinherits]

Hm... I shall try.

[he manifests a blade of darkness, before slashing at the door.






ig it like. does damage but the door is still there, still locked, and still keeping them in.]

[damp]

... What the hell are these doors made of?!

[reinherits]

... I don't think glass is normally this strong.

[damp]

So... something's trapping us here?

[reinherits]

[a pause, before he lets the sword disappear and aims another solid kick at the door.]

... I'm not sure. But something certainly feels strange, at least.

[damp]

[ rubs his neck ]

Maybe it's just a glitch. We could wait a couple minutes and try again.

[reinherits]

Mm. Let's do that, then.

[though he doesn't make a move to sit down again, instead choosing to remain standing.]

[damp]

[ offers him another slice ]

Does your entire team hang out in McDonald's a lot?

[reinherits]

[takes it with a bow of his head and thanks]

... I don't recall seeing any of them here before?

[dendroculi]

[she looks the door up and down after he kicks it...]

...it doesn't look like it's the type of door we can remove the hinges from... this is unfortunate.

[roseoftexas]

It’d be too easy if the glass broke if we tried that, huh?

[ a door can be kicked in with enough force but this isn’t even rattling. ]

[dendroculi]

I would expect glass to shatter, but if it's been reinforced...

[mmmmgh.]

Is this the only exit?

[isn't there like. an employee exit somewhere...]

[roseoftexas]

There might be a fire exit somewhere? Pretty sure these places have to have them by law.

[ that might be... something..... we know it won't work, but THEY CAN TRY. ]

[dendroculi]

Then let's see if we can find it.

[time to look around .......... and fail.





nahida will snag some fries while they do that]

[roseoftexas]

[ i'm glad for her priorities. i say like shu doesn't have another hashbrown in his hands. ]

They're normally towards the back or the side of the building. Look for a sign with a figure running, that's usually it.

[dendroculi]

Oh, there it is...

[she'll wander over and try to open it? it does not work.]

...well, I don't like this.

[roseoftexas]

[ hmmmmmmm. he's also just eating his hashbrown. they're trapped in a mcdonalds, and shu is monching. ]

So, are we being kept in or something being kept out?

[dendroculi]

That's a good question. Probably... kept in.

[...]

We know what the rules say can happen on Thursday nights. But protecting us from someone who wanted to try their hand at Erasure by preventing them from entering the building would run counter to that. If anything, it's probably to restrict our movements and make it more difficult for us to hide.

It's only a theory, but... maybe it's just that we can't get out. Someone else might be able to get in. There are locks that work one-way, after all.

[roseoftexas]

So... what we're just sitting ducks here all night, waiting to see if someone shows up and tries to kill one of us?

[ dis-fucking-like. ]

... I'd have slept outside if that was going to be the case.
