You can choose to stay where you are or to leave it, but regardless, there is no longer a safe haven on this ship. taken list profiles setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

[There's nothing inside of the elevator, but thanks to the fall, it looks like it's mostly rubble anyway. The bottom of it's been cracked and shattered into large pieces.

Through the pieces, they'll be able to see what appears to be a lot of blood and flesh.]

[parodeity]

[ uh. is it human blood and flesh or did they find arbok or something?

dave will poke at it with the lightsaber hilt, decaptchaloguing it just for that. he's not touching that shit? ]

Babe, let's strike "sugarbear" from our personal lexicon. [ because wtf ] Anyway, I guess it's pointless to think about alibis given everyone got knocked out? I mean. Whoever did this doesn't know they did it, anyway.

[bloodteller]

It's cute. [ sugarbear is terrible but yuno will stand behind it ]

I guess so, though. Yeah. Not like any of us can confirm or deny something since we were knocked out, too...

Also, if you put me down, I'll check that out for you?

[ she's?? point at the blood and shit?? oh my god ] Kind of used to it.

[al2955]

[It's pretty hard to tell what exactly the blood and flesh is from, as they're going to need to somehow remove the elevator's bottom out of the way first. That said, there does seem to be a glint of purple scales.]

[parodeity]

[ ok so it's probably arbok. dave frowns at the floor. remove the bottom...CAN...CAN HE PRY THE ELEVATOR FLOOR OFF??? ]

I think there's scales, it's probs the snake. We need to get this thing, like, lifted up again but idk how to repair the cords so...

[bloodteller]

Arbok's dead...?

[ um. ] That... uh. That affects me. [ she makes a face like she's trying to force it to make her sad though??? and her tone is pretty light. oops. ]

Do you have catfloof with you? [ THE SWORD. ] You think that breaking it open more will help? Or prying it. Like, with the sword as leverage or... something.

[al2955]

[Prying the elevator floor up with catfloof will work!

Underneath it, they'll find the remains of Arbok, though it'd be nearly impossible to tell if it wasn't for the telltale scales. Arbok looks exactly like what you'd expect a snake to look like after getting literal tons of metal dropped on it; it's been completely flattened and squashed and resembles nothing so much more as really bad roadkill. Its organs and guts have been smeared absolutely everywhere at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

Among the gory mess, they may also notice a few other items that had been hidden by the elevator floor...like a large black staff both of them can probably recognize on sight now.]

[parodeity]

[ oops. dave is also like. ok whatever. ]

At least it's not another person. [ he had nothing to do with arbok, ever, so he fails to...be dramatic about it. he does captchalogue the staff, though. what other items are there? ] Judar'll be happy, at least...about the staff.

[bloodteller]

[ WELL yuno recognizes clover's laser scythe

...guess what she's grabbing! or maybe dave should take that from her if he doesn't want to risk accidental decapitation ]

Yeah. Everyone's checked in, right? There was only thirteen of us anyway. [ excluding arbok. ] ...Eleven now. [ a lot easier to keep track of. ]

Can I cut open the elevator before we go? [ SORRY CLOVER ]

[parodeity]

As long as you don't slice me, sure.

[ APPARENTLY HE'S NOT STOPPING HER. but he is going to captchalogue the rest of the items, though the miraculous jewelry goes in a pocket because he only has so many cards. ]

[bloodteller]

[ NOT EVEN GOING TO LIE she is sliding off him as quick as she can and though balancing is still awkward apparently yuno is more than capable of standing on burned legs for the fucking laser scythe? ]

Don't worry, honey, I'm an old hand at big things.

[ cutting shit is what she does, and wielding things twice her size isn't that hard or whatever. she has hidden yandere strength.

there's definitely a lot of pressure and pain but who cares the scythe is going RIGHT INTO THE ELEVATOR'S TOP with a good old fashioned swing. who the fuck wanted a functioning elevator. not yuno apparently ]

[al2955]

[Item list: they'll find Judar's staff in fairly decent condition, Dorian's staff with the tip broken off, both of the miraculous jewelry intact, and Grell's glasses by the side where it avoided being hit by the elevator entirely.]

[parodeity]

[ he'll spot yuno in case she topples. but ok. meanwhile dave will make sure he has both staffs and glasses in his sylladex! ...plus the lightsaber. that's four items so the jewelry gets to go in the pocket as previously stated. he will. let yuno hold the scythe until further notice i guess.

assuming nothing else sticks out at them he's flying them back to the middle floor. ]

Well, that was terrifying. [ dryly ] But yeah not like any of us can fix an elevator, so.

[bloodteller]

The mess? Oh, I'd rather Arbok than one of us. [ that's not something... you say... with a smile, yuno ]

Also, don't tell Clover I used the scythe, I don't have permission yet. [ THEYRE BOTH GONNA GET SCOLDED AT THIS RATE ]

[parodeity]

Huh? I don't really care about that. [ again: he never had any interaction with arbok, mostly. ]

But sure, I won't say a word. Ready to head back up? I think some of the people will want their shit back...Grell in particular.

[ he knows a lot of people who need glasses. ]

[bloodteller]

[ i'm glad the two who wouldn't care at all found arbok. oops

all aboard the dave train, tho, just making sure that scythe is away from his body, no accidents here ]

Yup, let's get going. Grell's totally blind without those, you know? Actually, that's how we met. [ ...WHETHER HE WANTS TO HEAR about how grell ran into yuno on the first night or not he's going to, sorry ]

[parodeity]

[ all right up to the second floor they go where he will. chill by the elevator shaft until further notice but they can like, detour and give grell and dorian and the furries their shit probably. ]

I didn't know she was that near-sighted, no, but it makes sense.
