[Well, funny thing about the corpse!

Ichinose will take the shovel if its offered to her, and instead of giving this deer a proper burial, she will just. Stick a talisman on her for science. Because, you know, why not? Yamato is free to stop her if he doesn't want to deal with this, though.

Anyway, truly hope the baby was the key to golden end in this CYOA and we just gave him away.]

[ you know what, i want to make jan suffer one more absolutely useless round, so he does not stop her in time-- ]

Ichinose-san!

—Oops!

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN "OOPS," ICHINOSE??

Anyway, yeah. Pwease no attacky Yamato. Or the deer corpse? Actually, they can have the deer corpse after she gives it a quick pat down to make sure she wasn't carrying any loot on her. If there's nothing, she will allow the hands to drag the corpse into the dirt. Farewell, deer. Enjoy your burial.]


Sorry, sorry! I wanted a golem, but I guess this batch's no good.

[OH, WELL... Can they keep the shovel, though? And yes, they will follow the plot after this round.]
ghoststrums: (here we go! oh)

You're lucky SL wasn't still here!

[ bristling!! still!!!! but yeah even though he is DEEPLY (deerly?) offended about the deer corpse, he has a revenge plot to get to, so he'll start following the blood trail to the lab. he has knives he doesn't need a shovel but ichinose might need it ]

[Ominous. The corpse had no loot, right? "She was a lab rat." Loot.

Anyway— hm. She does not want to fight her way through a pack of guards right out the gates, and hopefully neither will Yamato. She gives him a look, gesturing at the chimney.

Stealth time?]
ghoststrums: (the clock moving on it drags me along)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ just because he knows he can fight right now does not mean he feels like testing it out that much? especially when they've got such a big area to cover to take it down. he nods at her, whispering: ]

We'll have to slip past the guards... I'll be able to climb just fine like this, but I don't think you'll be able to do it with a shovel.

[ IT REALLY WAS JUST FOR NOW but yamato will try to look at the pattern of the guards to see if they can find the best place to sneak to climb the building. is there a tree nearby? a convenient set of vines? a ladder. ]

Ahaha, and I guess you're not strong enough for a piggy back ride? Too bad.

[She will manage... somehow. Is there anything else of note in their immediate surroundings? Anything they can use to cover their tracks? Either way, she will look for an opening they can use to make their way to the nearest crate. She will go whenever Yamato's ready.]
ghoststrums: (but in the end there's a drag)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
You're too old for piggy back rides anyway, Ichinose-san.

[ yamato is now gifted with cat like grace and fighting skills, but i refuse to believe he can carry ichinose up two stories. so they'll go the long away around the back to sneak behind crates and slowly climb a floor or two to try and get to the chimney?? he uses his elf cat eyes and other furry senses to try to keep watch on the guards and make sure they aren't caught. ]

[Ah.

Ichinose sucks in a breath, and then. She just. Smiles placidly at the guard? Hands in whatever pockets she happens to have, blinking innocently.]


Hm, that's weird. [A tilt of her head.] You really don't know who we are? I thought they would have debriefed you.
ghoststrums: (yesterday you just smiled at me)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ why would ichinose do this to yamato, a terrible liar, who has his hands half raised up like he doesn't know whether to hold them up or put them on his cool knives he apparently knows how to use, ears flat on his head as he looks between ichinose and the guard.

it is

it is probably better if he doesn't talk when he clearly looks wary but please do not get them shot ichinose ]

[i'm in tears

But Ichinose simply keeps smiling, nodding.]


That's right! I knew you were a smart one. Soooo, would you lower your gun already? Every second we waste here, is a second that could have been devoted to our work.

[ yeah i'm sorry yamato is just going to hiss when there's a gun raised to his face, teeth bared. this is a thing normally anyway. minus the hissing.

he also kind of steps closer to ichinose in case he needs to jump a guy and. uh. bring a knife to a gun fight this is a terrible idea. HE'S STILL NOT SAYING ANYTHING BECAUSE HE WILL IMMEDIATELY GIVE THEM AWAY BUT IT'S A NEAR THING ]

Aw, aren't you just a perfect gentleman? Thanks a bunch!

[She pulls one of her hands out of her pockets to wave byebye at the guard, before she reaches over to grab Yamato by the scruff of the neck, tugging him along.

Hopefully Yamato knows how to lip read, because she will carefully mouth at him: Sorry.

And, yeah, she is still carrying a shovel. It's her friend now. Anyway... is there any visible difference between the right and left hallway? Are there any particular sounds coming from one hallway over the other, or scents?]
ghoststrums: (we'd fall in love-- no wait)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
You--

[ honestly, it's a good thing ichinose grabs him by the scruff of the neck, because yamato absolutely makes a move like he is about to jump the guard the second the whiplash from being hit with a gun is mostly over. he's bristling when she lets go despite the apology, and looks very much like. well. an angry cat with that.

and also it's very nice of ichinose to try and sense which way to go but yamato has very little sense and a lot of anger right now, so he's going right? his gut and this coin i flipped said right, so. i hope there was something distinctive about the left and yamato is just stupid ]

[She is, unfortunately. Unwillingly. Yamato, she wanted to go left. You fool.

With a smile on her face, she whips out the shovel to block Yamato's path before he can get any closer to the scientists, trying to shove him back a little. Child, please.]


Oops! Sorry. I asked one of the gentlemen outside for help escorting this one, but he just wouldn't listen. It's like they're braindead or something. [A sigh, not even batting an eye at the sight before her. Her other hand is still in her pocket, and she hopes Yamato and the shovel are distracting enough that no one notices her grabbing something inside her pocket.] ... I see you're hard at work, though. Well, I won't keep you.
ghoststrums: (shooting daggers through my eyes)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
They're...

[ he sounds choked up so maybe the scientists will believe it's fear despite the snarl on his face? sure! anyway, i can't believe she's shove(ling) him back! rude! actually, it's a good thing, because he looks about ready to fight every single person in this room! wow! LOOK AT ALL THAT TRAUMA IN TUBES. he's uh legitimately upset about this on two levels, one which is normal and one which is why did jan give me a tragic cat backstory.

but even though he's bristling and tense ichinose putting the shovel to stop him is enough of a reminder to try and calm his shit, so he just. digs his nails in his palms instead. except i established him as having claws so sure, that's fine, just claw your own palms open so i have to keep track of that too, i guess. ]

[... She sighs.]

Boy, you guys sure don't listen.

[Well. Guess she's pulling out two talismans and throwing them! One at the scientists, and another at the ground in hopes of keeping them away. Why two? Why not??? Can't wait for this to be a mistake.]
