The Bunker of "Safety"

[othellovonryan]

[You find yourself in a large stone room. It has enough room to stand up, even for the tallest, and plenty of space to walk around. Likely Donnie absolutely exploded the insides of this rocky area to make this much space. The walls and corners are cut cleanly thanks to his mystic tools.]

[In the ceiling, recessed with some metal holders are crystals that shine with a warm light. A magic sunlamp.]

[There are a few inches of water on the floor, and probably most impressively is he's managed to make it so the water cycles through to the ceiling to make a light waterfall across all the walls. There are some polished boulders that provide some dry spots in the room.]

[But do make it very hard to try and write or carve things onto any surface in the room.]

[There is also a door with no handle on this side. It's half slid into the stone and has a metal cover, though any investigation will reveal the door is very thick, so probably stone makes up its center.]

[When people being dropped off]

[They can tell Donnie is coming back because the wall with the door is suddenly covered in a purple pink wall that will be shoving them across the room to push them away from the door. Then he'll open the door and drop off the person he's caught, or the food for people.]

[Each time the wall comes up, almost everytime, the walls seem to be getting...pinker.]

[Just for you guys: The Things Donnie is collecting from his connections for all this nonsense]
-Space Titanium to make Fabrications stronger from Korone
-His strength Plus Korone's strength when she's nearby until she bites someone else.
-Glyphs from Hunter
-Ninpo is always a thing
-Kraang things from Danger Memories
-Sedatives, so many sedatives
-Randy's orbment which comes with tech magic like FIRE, strength buffs under conditions, up his crit range for harder hits, makes him faster.
-Crow's guns

... Good question. I'm — plans and strategy aren't exactly my strong suit.

First step is getting out of here. I'm gonna try to get you to Leo-kun again in a minute. I ... I don't wanna put all of this on his shoulders, but he knows his brother best. We're gonna need him.

I'll stay behind for now. Might be able to help anyone else be brings in here, and maybe I'll be able to distract him.

[pyrighteous]

Are - are you sure? He’s going to be angry if he comes back here and sees I’m gone.

[bluediligence]

Totally sure.

I'm not afraid to be a thorn in his side.

[pyrighteous]

…

You are pretty tough. Yeah. I’d - probably get convinced again.

[ He rubs at the earring still in the one ear. ]

[bluediligence]

[ ALAS that she can't see that ]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're easily as tough as I am. [ Lightly nudges her shoulder against his. ] Way tougher, actually, in my humble opinion.

1/3

[pyrighteous]

Yeah, well. Neither of us can do anything now. If I had glyphs, we could try heating up the door, or getting water in the cracks and freezing it...

[ He drops his hand - and winces as his finger catches on the back of one of the posts. Stares down at the single drop of (saplike) blood forming ... ]

[pyrighteous]

[ Blood. Blood is dark enough - sticky enough - ]

[pyrighteous]

[ And suddenly Hunter stiffens as an idea occurs to him. ]

-- Can I borrow your feather knife?

[bluediligence]

[ she can feel that sudden tension and she's not sure she likes it ]

Uh, sure. What for?

[ It's a full-sized sword rather than a knife, but! She offers it over anyway, "hilt" first ]

... Wait, are you thinking of drawing glyphs in your own blood?

[pyrighteous]

[ Sword, knife, whatever. All he needs is a sharp edge.

Anyway, he takes it. ]

I can't draw them with anything else.

[ He draws the sword across his palm, leaving behind a bloody slash. ]

[bluediligence]

Stating for the record that I hate this.

[ while simultaneously adding an extra tick to a mental tally chart she has AND doing nothing to stop him. ]

Let me know the second you're done so I can heal you.

[pyrighteous]

[ Thanks Korone, he appreciates that.

Anyway, he splashes back into the water, going for the door. ]

I - look. You can definitely heal me as soon as I'm done. After we're out of here.

[ He begins to draw carefully. ]

[bluediligence]

[ Carefully follows after him, sticking close. ]

[pyrighteous]

[ He starts with a modified fire glyph, heating up the metal door? No - the metal outside, but still. When it's warm enough, he connects an ice glyph, forcing some ice into any gaps he can between the metal and the rest of the wall.

It. Well. It's something? He manages to wedge a spike of ice in there; he pushes on it hard, trying to get it to give way. ]

G - give me a hand. Just push on me for a second? Maybe if we both do it ...

[bluediligence]

You'll have to put my hands where you need them.

[pyrighteous]

Right - um -

[ he reaches out to help guide her then. ]

[othellovonryan]

[You know who knows how to make Small Tolerances? Donnie. Donnie does. So the gappage isn't much and is really only made from the contracting of metal from the temperature change, but its not a whole lot of leeway.]

[So the ice won't be thick enough to move the door. Especially when the door is mostly stone with metal just encasing it and it is nearly a foot thick.]

[Because, well]

[Raph.]

[Quite honestly, the door is probably heavy enough that Hunter himself can't move it. Korone or Raph could, but only if they could get the leverage for it. Sadly the ice won't be able to provide that without breaking first.]

[bluediligence]

Okay ...

[ shhhhhe doesn't like this, she hates not being able to see for herself what's going on. but she trusts Hunter and they have to TRY, so, ]

Pushing on three. One, two, three -

[ PUSH. She's woozy enough not to be at full strength, but she's still stronger than a human. ]

[pyrighteous]

[ PUUUUSH.

Hunter pushes on the ice wedge with every amount of weight and strength that he can, but it's not enough. Not with - well. All of that description up there. There's a moment where it seems like they might get it together, barely -

And then the ice wedge shatters, resulting in Hunter falling face first down into the water again. ]

-- ow!!

[bluediligence]

[ OH GEEZ. Immediately kneeling to help him up as best she can, throwing in a heal spell as well. ]

Damnit. It was a good idea, though. We just need something sturdier than ice ...

[ Which they're not gonna find in here. Her swords won't do it. Maybe she or Raph could shatter one of the rocks to make a wedge, but there's no guarantee they'd get the shape the'd need ]

You okay?

[othellovonryan]

[Water is also falling over the door so]

[Fight hard to get it to Stick.]

[pyrighteous]

[ UGH WELL -

you know what. he'll draw it ON HIS arm, then. and use fire to dry off a spot to put the fire and ice glyphs after. ]

[othellovonryan]

[HUNTER YOU SAW WHAT THAT DID TO BELOS]

[pyrighteous]

[ HE'LL GRAPPLE WITH THAT LATER - ]

[othellovonryan]

[HUNTER!!!!]
