[KICKS DOOR IN

or this is where she would, if there were doors here - but instead lili an is going to be running into the area of vaguely the bonfire, vaguely the chicken coop from the chipmunk dorm. when she spots dimitri and flayn - ]

Any sign of him?!

[and then, realizing there's others - ]

Oh, you weren't who I was looking for. Have you seen Tsurumaru?

[fishingforcompliments]

No sign...

[Which is. You know. Distressing.]

Do you think perhaps he went back to the cabin and we just missed him?

[1/2]

[coastal]

[a beat and then she shakes her head]

... no. We were just there. I asked if he'd gone inside to surprise them stupidly in the middle of the night, and - Yin Yu tried to break down the doors and windows. Nothing.

[for a second, just a second - she looks almost crestfallen]

[coastal]

[and it's straight back to steely resolve, eyes narrowing]

He has to be somewhere. I won't rest until we find him.

[midnight: haha!]

[unfriendliest]

We'll find him. He has to know we'll be looking for him, after what happened last time.

[coastal]

[ . . . she'll turn away from the others, just so only kara can really catch her expression, voice lowering]

... he has to, doesn't he? So why is he putting us through this stupid farce? I'm really not going to forgive him.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Oh - Flayn's eyes widen somewhat at the sound of Yin Yu's name, and she lets out a small sigh of relief. At least he's safely indoors.

But Tsurumaru being nowhere to be found is deeply concerning, and she nods.]

We will find him. He cannot have gone far.

[coastal]

That idiot really might've been trying to scare someone, or he just really wanted more of those inane snacks of his.

[she's SIGHING]

I'm surprised he's not making some kind of racket...

[ruffboi]

[Assuming eventually Magnus and Taako make their way back towards the bonfire - ]

I haven't seen him. He might still be hiding somewhere?

[coastal]

.... would that idiot still hide on the usual night of murder when all of the doors are suddenly not functioning....

[she

looks like she's trying to come to a conclusion]

[ruffboi]

Hiding isn't a terrible idea!

[Says the guy who spent the day with him running around jumping out at people shouting his name.]

We're outside, awake, on a Thursday night. We can't just sit around in the open like this.

[chaoticlootral]

[lili don't kick taako's ass challenge but

hes just sitting by the bonfire at this point after he's finally admitted the doors are all locked, hands on his temples.]

I wouldn't worry about it, we're the ones who are awake, so, we're definitely on the shitlist.

[coastal]

[she's gonna kick taako's ass

there's an annoyed huff - but she hears his words and honestly isn't straying too far from ookurikara for most of the evening but,]

As long as we don't hold it against each other if we draw a blade against our will, and make sure to save those who are fallen - I won't get mad at any of you.

[chaoticlootral]

Uh!

[UH]

For the record, I'm 1000 percent holding it against anyone who fucking draws a blade on me! Fuck!

[ruffboi]

[Okay, well, Reapsody had a midnight curfew, so Magnus is out gathering some last minute things, before planning to go with Taako back to his cabin in case there's a curfew here, too. But when he gets to the door and tries it - ]

. . . It's locked.

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako's just fuckin' bad at keeping track of time. But he has spent most of the night just basically velcroed to his tank here.

Scoffing, irritated, holding way too many snack cakes and balancing them all with his brand new shiny transparent umbrella.]

No it's fucking not, dumbshit, you gotta use the key-- here. Hold this.

[Then just letting go of all the snack cakes? If Magnus doesn't catch them then they'll just fall on the ground.]

[ruffboi]

[Fine, grabbing them, but he's looking around, on edge.]

I'm pretty sure it's locked!

[chaoticlootral]

[Obviously, the key isn't working either.






Taako refuses to admit this, and is just. Jiggling it. Then he slams it with his shoulder as hard as he can (not very hard).]

It's just stuck.

[Jiggling more aggressively!!!]

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh



well, that's unfortunate. flayn spots him attempting to open the door and can't help but look troubled]

Magnus the Hammer..? You are out here this time of night as well?

[ruffboi]

[Assuming this is after Taako also tries - spotting her, and nodding.]

Doors are locked. We need to get someplace safe. Are you out here alone?

[fishingforcompliments]

I left with a few others to search for Tsurumaru. Dimitri, Lili, and Ookurikara should be out here somewhere as well.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Well, they're not asleep yet. Flayn's got her key for Ant Cabin, so she's going to try it at the door.

Nope, nothing.

She bites her lip. ...she probably could call out to them, but - she doesn't want anyone who is in there to worry... slowly, she backs away from the cabin door and looks toward the bonfire.

So much for being careful.

Mumbling to herself:]

I should have brought my staff...

[overruns]

[ Presuming they've already yelled at the remaining Dragon Cabin crew to open up and failed to get anywhere—safe to say they're completely locked out. ]

I'm not certain how much good our weapons will do anyway.

[ If it's like last time... ]

It may be better to find you a hiding space.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she frowns]

I have no intention of hiding while the rest of you face danger, Dimitri. Either we all find a hiding place or none of us does, including me.

[overruns]

[ they have this fight like, every time? every lockdown? so even as the Most Stubborn Human Alive, he knows there's no winning. or rather, there's no time for it. ]

Flayn... Fine. [ fine!!!! ] But you and I both know we may not be able to protect each other, should the worst come to pass.

[ so he's going to unhitch the dagger he's got stashed against his back, showing it to her. it's the lightest weapon they have on them, from the looks of it, and the easiest to pick up and use. the blade's keen. she should know that. ] Use this to defend yourself, Lili, and Taako if the rest of us are incapacitated. I'll hold it for now, but know that I won't be far from your side.
