[Gods. He's just giving Jason a stealth-look at the mention of Jack and shaking his head.]

Okay, what were Jack and Yuno doing in the AI control room? That's my next question. [He bites his lip, Backbiter resting against his shoulder and other hand occupied by Adam's for the time being.] Adam and I were checking out a few of the rooms up here and didn't find much but a bunch of flooding. Did find there's a missing bottle of vodka. We were gonna head down but looks like somebody cut the cable to the elevator and the thing's crashed at the bottom.

Are we splitting up then?

[parodeity]

Idk. I dropped Yuno off with Jack a bit before the whole. [ vague shoulder shrug. ] Being knocked out thing? I was just heading back to meet up with Adrien and Mari after that, but obviously that didn't become a thing. I don't really question where everyone hangs out at this point.

[ YUNO AND JACK WERE BUDDIES AND JACK WAS CLEAR? ]

[chiseler]

It's not that. [He shakes his head.] Whatever, we'll figure it out later. How many people can you actually fit in that thing anyway?

[parodeity]

I have five cards.

[ so, five people. he's reasonably sure he can lift everyone left alive, so the size limitations shouldn't be a problem. ]

[chiseler]

Right. [He doesn't like the idea of being shoved into the sylladex either, but they're wasting time by not heading down there.] Parrish and I wanted to head down to the lower floor. Think you could get us there?

[parodeity]

Yep. Just let me know when you wanna go. I don't think you'll register any of the time in the 'dex, so it should be an instant trip.

[ "don't think" lmao dave isn't. sure. he just knows they can be put in there. ]

[chiseler]

I think we're all ready to split up. Let's just go. [Luke stop trusting teenagers that's how you're going to get yourself killed. Dumbass.]

[parodeity]

[ OKAY WELL ENJOY YOUR SYLLADEX TRIP. SINCE HE WILL JUST. CAPTCHALOGUE LUKE (and adam) WITHOUT FURTHER WARNING I GUESS. then it's just a quick flight down and a matter of decaptchaloguing them on the lower floor. they come out exactly as they went in, so they should just be. suddenly standing downstairs outside the elevator shaft from their perspective.

dave will hover just for a few seconds to like, be sure they're ok. ]

[chiseler]

[THANKS...DAVE??? He's just blinking in surprise, trying to figure out what the difference between being captchalogued and decaptchalogued is before he shakes his head.]

...thanks man. I'll yell up at you when we're ready to head back up.

[parodeity]

Yep. I'll stay in the elevator shaft 'till further notice. Checking out the elevator should keep me in hearing range until and unless we fix the damn thing.

[ so as not to like

strand people on other floors... ]

[bloodteller]

[ literally just hanging out on dave's back here hi ]

Well... He's working on getting the program running, so I wanted to check up on him and see if he wanted lunch.

[ it. was lunch time. now it's deda time ]

[chiseler]

[Yuno...he's really glad she's alive? Being alive sure is great! So he's giving her a quick look to make sure she's not on the verge of dying anytime immediately as he nods.]

And what happened after that? Another bomb?

[bloodteller]

[ she's pretty pale. nausea's still there from the oh-so mysterious liquid (which she's pretty sure was chloroform, personally? she's a stalker she knows), so there's definitely some indication she isn't doing super well, but. absolutely still alive. both her arms are wrapped up, but luke knows that the right arm's for a chemical burn. her legs are also bandaged -- there's why she's hitching a ride. ]

A bomb... maybe? I'm not sure. It happened really fast. The fire, and then the sprinklers. I knocked out as soon as those turned on.

[chiseler]

There's no way somebody's stupid enough to try another bomb so soon. [Or maybe they are. It's hard to say. He's unhappy with her condition but she's stable enough to talk and Dave's got her. That's all he can ask and he'll just have to check with her again after all of this.]

We all got knocked out which means that somebody also took the time to rig the whole sprinkler system while we were running around on low power. We're gonna figure it out. I think Jason Clover and Judar are heading up...Adam and I are going to head down to the lower deck. You and Dave'll be fine here, right? [PLEASE?]

[bloodteller]

[ dave's pretty much the only reason she's alive at this point, honestly. much less in as good a condition as she is. she owes him. ]

I can't walk. [ like. her legs are burned. it's pretty awkward. wherever dave is, yuno is. she literally refuses to leave him... sorry dave ] So I'll be with my ride, yes. He's comfortable.

[chiseler]

[He's just. Sort of dragging his hand over his face and covering his mouth for a minute to think. Fuckfuckfuck.]

That's something. [He's trying to grin but it's more of a grimace. What a fucking mess.] See if you can't get Grell to check your injuries too if you haven't, just to be safe. We'll be back as soon as we can.

[bloodteller]

I think it's just the initial pain. I can't keep my balance from the burns. [ kind of like when you burn your hand on the oven making pizza and then you can't keep a grip on anything, you know? ] I'll probably be fine tomorrow. I hope. [ there's a wry smile to accompany that statement. ]

I'll get her to check but Dave patched me up. [ she's... KIND OF PROUD.... OF HIM ]

[chiseler]

Just stay on Dave's back. [There's a tiny smirk though because yeah, like he really has to tell her that.] I'm pretty impressed he did a good job, but I'd still feel better if you both checked in with her once we get everything figured out with the elevator. Make sure he doesn't work too hard while we're gone, okay?

[bloodteller]

You don't got to tell me that. [ they're both thinking it? dave's right here? she's not smiling when she says it, because. she still doesn't know if jack is okay. dave is, though, so she can hyper focus on that. ]

...Okay. He'll be fine. You can trust me. I'll take care of Dave. As for Grell, I'll make sure I see her, yeah. [ this is bs. SHE DOESN'T WANT-- DAVE DID IT FOR HER... YOU KNOW...?? ]
