Seriously? [ hey. hey. why didn't he get to fight. he's good at fighting. ] I followed a giraffe for a while and had breakfast at a buffet to eavesdrop on them and a red panda. There was the axe trap further in, but the axes were fake. And I think Whisper and Hans might've run into the security rabbit earlier, but I didn't seem them until you guys tripped the power.
[ he would bite through a concrete block right now if he could ]
We stole an employee's outfit and tried to sneak in through an access stairwell, but security called our bluff and apparently, all the weapons we picked out from our warehouse were useless toys!
What in Hades...[ hold on. wait a minute. he really is just keeping his hand on his face while he processes all of this and has to. think really fucking hard. ] Did you guys at least get your kits from the warehouse besides your extra items?
[ he is really trying to think why these were so different. ]
...I guess the difference is we didn't use our weapons. I had a dagger, but I didn't have to bother. Whisper had an emp but we didn't need it. And Hans grabbed the smoke pellets and those worked perfectly fine. Also why didn't you just go through the front doors or through the parking garage?
[ ...genuinely, he is starting to think about how they really were able to stroll right in with the crowd and nobody seemed bothered that two furries and a teenager were there. ]
It's not a bad line of thinking. If you're looking for a treasure, you'd think to sneak in through restricted areas. [ but. ] The power came back on right as we got close enough to snag ours, so we had to figure out how to redirect the lasers, get out of the bar and leave the casino. Hans hit a guard with a chair, I think. It was hard to see with the smoke after a bit.
That's all we got, too. Did you get a map from a leopard?
No idea if the lasers would've hurt us. Whisper and I reflected them with our mirrors so Hans could grab the treasure and get out. [ judging by the tone, by that point he was kind of exasperated and just wanted to get the treasure and go. ] I wasn't about to test it out though, but going off of what you've been saying somehow I doubt it.
I took a laser pen for backup in case we needed to fight, since we didn't have our powers. Except it turned out to just be a glorified cat toy--one of those pointer lasers that don't do anything.
That makes two of us. [ he is now firmly convinced this leopard ripped them off. ]
...huh. Good to know that this whole thing really was a ruse. [ even if he still has a lot of mixed feelings and thoughts about it, but he doesn't think danny needs to hear from his paranoid ass. so there's a pause. ] The treasure was ultimate curry, for what it's worth.
i'm sorry he's just cracking the fuck up. what even happened. how. why. this at least gets him to stop spiraling about their side of things but ohhhh my god. ]
Sorry, sorry. This is just...not what I expected at all. [ heheh. heh. oh gods okay good to know he's just crazy. that's fine. ] Anyway I was only asking because we had a few things waiting back at ours. Including a white paper.
Coercion kind of counts as cooperating when you're a villain. [ but he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a white paper to share with him.
it says: The stakes so far have been too boring. It’s no fun when all they do at the end of the day is go home, so for the next round, we’ll spice it up a bit. If they want a chance for anyone to return at all, they’ll have to take that chance from someone else.
One death each week is enough to keep the door open. Kill, or lose everything any of them have cared about. Let’s see how heroic they can be in those conditions. ]
But yeah, it's also about how screwed we are if we lose. [ so that sucks. ]

Okay. The blackout allowed us to sneak into the bar and find the treasure before we were spotted. How did you get arrested? From that fight?

...that, and the others didn't think that we could avoid scrutiny if a teenager walked into a casino. [ he obviously looks a little sour about that ]

...wait, lasers? There were lasers there?! Like, actual, dangerous lasers that can hurt you?

Oh! Right, yeah, we did too, actually. The white paper--was it a handwritten note?
no subject
Yup. And was your handwritten note a plan about how to get all of us to cooperate in this competition?
no subject
Unless your idea of "getting us to cooperate" is about how screwed we are if we lose.
