[Onward intrepid adventurers! I'm assuming they're all in their finest break in attire, which for lio is . . . sweaty workout clothes, probably. Sorry about it! Anyway, stopping in front of that sweet sweet door, sizing it up and down. Giving it a testing kick. To see if it budges.

It does not.]

Tch.

[infire]

[ meanwhile brilith is enjoying her newfound wardrobe rainbow in this dress, which she maybe would have considered leaving on the hanger this morning if she'd known she would be trying to break down a door today?? and she's watching this happen with a concerned frown. ]

If you don't have a key, you could try picking the lock, right?

[ she

she doesn't know how to do that, though ]

[disreguarded]

[ beau is garbage however, and is in her stupid tracksuit, the front unzipped. she's got a bandeau underneath and no shirt. she keeps looking at brilith's dress though, because flowers are pretty!!

in any case. ]

If I had something to unlock it with, I could do that. [ a beat. or she could just punch the lock. that works too. ]

[burningrescue]

[Galo and Beau are matching, since he wore the jacket that goes with his pants, unzipped.]

Anything stopping us from just kicking it down? That's what I'd do.

[Trying to give the lock a kick!]

[madburnout]

[only brilith is valid, both of you other idiots: put your tits away]

You could at least put some effort into it.

[Lio just scoffs again at the PATHETIC kicks - then tries his cool tactic. Slamming his shoulder into as hard as he can? Galo, that might hurt your shoulder too, bud.]

[infire]

W-Wait--

[ she winces as lio rams the door with his shoulder. this poor kid is going to have bruises for days at the rate he's going. if she can just get them to calm down for a second... ]

If you'll wait a minute or two, I could get something from my room to try the lock with.

[ they're not going to listen to her though, are they. ]

[disreguarded]

[ super not gonna listen to her ]

No, wait, that looked like it was gonna work. [ Beau grabs Lio's arm. ] On three, all of us ram into it?

[burningrescue]

Ow! [Rubbing his shoulder!] No, you're supposed to kick it, not use your shoulder. Unless you - oh!

[Literally turning around and sprinting away. Bye.]

[madburnout]

[Suddenly! Extremely excited! About everything? Fuck this. His arm is grabbed so he can't chase Galo down to kick his ass for being a moron and running away, but he's back to paying attention.]

I'm ready!

[infire]

What?!

No, don't ram the door! You'll hurt yourselves!

[disreguarded]

[ ... there he go, galo what

she shrugs though. ] No, it's fine, me and Lio are made of super tough shit. [ beau brags, flexing like a himbo for brilith. ]

Okay - one. Two. Three! [ WHAM ]

[burningrescue]

[Sprinting back down the hall, holding an axe above his head, and as soon as they're done with their dumb plan, chopping the door with the axe!]

[cluedin]

[ First of all, it is important to mention that the door did not budge a single inch as they all rammed various body parts into it. But when Galo runs in, swinging his axe... it hits the door lock, splintering it easily. Maybe too easily? Nah.

Once that happens, the door creaks open slowly. The inside seems almost pitch black despite the light in the hall. There is no sound coming from it for a hint, either.

So what will they do? ]

[madburnout]

[Okay, well, you've all interacted with Lio. You've probably got a decent handle on what he's like. Very serious. Sure, kind of a hot-head, but not . . . the guy who yells 'HELL YES' and then

runs into the room

but he's doing that]

[infire]

Where did you get-

[ brilith is going to spend this entire log screaming internally, and maybe a little externally. ]

Lio?! [ AAAAAAA ] At least get a candle first!

[disreguarded]

[ HOLY SHIT AN AXE please be careful with that thing galo!!

and okay look, beau's stupid but she's not gonna just RUN INTO A PITCH BLACK ROOM stop drinking that galo juice lio wtf ]

Lio -- ! [ she makes a grab for him, trying to drag him back, not wanting him to get eaten by a grue. brilith out here sharing the brain cell. ]

[burningrescue]

[Sorry, he got too excited about axe and infected Lio. He's busy pumping his fist.]

I did it!

[And then despite all the commotion he's also going to just kind of stroll inside. Why not?]

[cluedin]

[ Beau catches Lio, but Galo strolls on in with no issue. And also doesn't like, immediately die? In fact, nothing happens to Galo at all. It's just very dark. He can't see anything and the other three are still outside, so... ]

[madburnout]

[YELLING AFTER GALO]

CONTROL YOURSELF!

[Turning to Beau and Brilith, presumably, he's still being held back. Digging in one of his TACTICAL JOGGER pockets, pulling out a lighter.]

I can light the way.

[And assuming he's free to go, then strolling in after!]

[infire]

Ah - Will that be enough? We can still go get candles...

[ she says this but if beau goes inside too, she'll trail after. ]

[disreguarded]

Be careful. It's way too quiet.

[ beau can't believe galo just. walked in. sigh.

but yeah, she'll head in after lio carefully, resting a hand on brilith's arm to lead her in. gonna protect her if needed!! ]

[burningrescue]

[Don't worry. He has axe, so he's perfectly safe. He suddenly seems kind of touchy, though.]

Anyone in here? Hello?

[cluedin]

[ The four of them walk in, and there's a sudden gust of ... wind? Bad news: the door slams shut behind them. Good news: the lighter is unnecessary, because some lights flicker on! And flicker is the appropriate word here. Old lights buzz weakly overhead, showing off the dusty, mucky floor tiles of the hallway they seem to have wound up in. Was the door locked because Plum hadn't gotten to cleaning it up? A broken down wheelchair stands close to one of the four numbered doors lining their path. It stretches out and splits into two further down the line, a seemingly impossible feat for what should be a room in a house, even one as big as Master Blue's.

Most importantly, those of you familiar with them may recognize the setting as what seems to be the remains of a hospital. Neat. ]

[madburnout]

[mom said it's MY turn with the emotion

which is "yikes."]

Ah.

[A pause.]

How does this fit in this house?

[infire]

[ UM? THE DOOR? HELLO?

brilith is going to go try the door, which I'm assuming isn't going to open. bad! she hates that a lot! but if they're really stuck, she's going to join the others again. whatever happens with these crazy kids is probably still safer than being left alone. ]

A hospital...? [ hm. ] It could be some sort of magic, like everything else they do here.
