[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.

[dendroculi]

We don't know that for sure. It just... seems more likely to me that it's to keep us from leaving here than it is to keep someone else from coming in.

[...]

In any case, since we realized pretty quickly that something is wrong, we can make preparations just in case. Maybe we can barricade the entrance and exits to prevent someone from entering.

[roseoftexas]

We can do shifts as well, if that helps.

Leave Rin out of it, he's a kid, but between the rest of us we could stagger when we sleep so there's always someone on alert.

[ he's already moving to one of the tables and examining the size of it, looking up at the door and the handles and trying to calculate the distance between the floor and handle from where he's stood. ]

I'm used to staying awake if I have to. [ says shu of team 'go to sleep' ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Somewhere in the background he looks so offended]

[roseoftexas]

[ Go to Sleep applies when it's self-sabotage, kaveh. ]

1/2

[dendroculi]

Oh, so you're also the type to need the reminder...

2/2

[dendroculi]

I agree it's probably safest to sleep in shifts, though. I don't mind staying up if it's just one night.

[she will also follow him to one of the tables and check to make sure it's not bolted to the ground or something as mcdonalds is wont to do with their stupid furniture]

[roseoftexas]

No, it's only if I have to.

[ don't kaveh him, nahida. ]

It'd be hypocritical of the driving force of "Go to Sleep" to just not sleep, Nahida.

[ i mean. he's gonna try forcing it anyway if it is bolted. he has psychs and he'll use them. ]

[dendroculi]

I'm the oldest out of everyone here. I can handle one night where I don't sleep all the way through.

[come ON.

anyway, she will pull out her phone and take a picture of him while he's using his psychs. her eyes, leaf, hair streaks, and decorations on her dress glow green when she presses the button to take the picture, and in the photo on her phone whatever his psych manifests from will also be glowing. power boost!



not that it will actually allow them to break out.]

[roseoftexas]

[ well.

with a ✨ power boost ✨ he'll use his psych to force the table up with a -- platform? not a column, he doesn't want to bust through the thing -- platform of darkness. it's enough to at least loosen the bolts holding it down enough that he'll be able to finish the job physically, without overusing his psych. ]

Question.

[dendroculi]

Yes, Shu?

[she cannot guarantee she'll have an answer but she can at least try to provide one.]

[roseoftexas]

Is that part of your Healing Aura?

[ the. hover, and glow and suddenly his umbrakinesis is FLEXING. ]

[reinherits]

I am used to such shifts, so this is fine with me. You need not stay awake the entire night by yourself, Shu.

[roseoftexas]

[ thank you hikari who will have murdered or died by the morning. ]

All right, that's two of us. Nahida's offered to do the whole night, which means she'll be fine with a shift. Between the three of us, we're probably covered.

[ kaveh can get his beauty sleep, and rin can get his "i'm a big growing boy" sleep. ]

[reinherits]

[don't know what you're talking about......]

That sounds good to me.

[roseoftexas]

[ i will 1 v 1 you in combat and win, jan. ]

I'm fine taking first watch, unless you have a pressing desire to just see your watch through.

[ and then they all just pass out anyway. ]
