weekend zero, sunday

[fishingforcompliments]

[around and around and around bucky goes...

where he stops, nobody knows...]

Umm... are you alright?

[frostythehitman]

[ stops to look at flayn ]

I will be once I get out of here.

[ dives back into the merry go round entry doors ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[quietly:]

I do not think that is going to work...

[frostythehitman]

Then I just need to try harder.

[ he throws himself back into the carousel with even more vigor, spinning through the doors even faster and getting spat out on the floor for his trouble. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she crouches down and offers him a hand to get up once he's spat out onto the floor]

[frostythehitman]

[ lays there for a bit glaring at the offered hand

then sighs and takes it, hauling himself back up to his feet ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[up he gets!]

...truly, I do not think we will be able to leave that easily.

[frostythehitman]

Maybe not. But I still have to try.

[fishingforcompliments]

What would you do had you been able to exit through that door?

[frostythehitman]

Gone to find where they're keeping my friend and bust him out.

[fishingforcompliments]

[...]

Was it as easy as that to leave the areas you found yourself in last time, before the whole experience was finished?

[frostythehitman]

[ His shoulders lower a little, like he's deflated just a bit. ]

...no. But if there was a way out this time and I didn't find it because I just gave up and didn't try? I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

[fishingforcompliments]

I would like to think that there is a middle ground between not trying at all and trying the same thing so many times that you end up on the floor...

[though to be fair a lot of people ended up on the floor during intro weekend]

[frostythehitman]

[ oh good it's not just him ]

Yeah? Well I'm willing to hear it.

[fishingforcompliments]

Trying it once or twice and then stopping once you realize it did not work, before being thrown onto the ground...?

[frostythehitman]

And? If you don't try something else, then that's just giving up.

[fishingforcompliments]

Was there really that significant a difference between what you were doing before you were thrown to the ground, and what you were doing that got you thrown to the ground?

[frostythehitman]

...other than going faster? No.

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps you might want to try a different method rather than the same method but faster...?

[frostythehitman]

Alright. You got any ideas on what those different methods should be?

[fishingforcompliments]

Well, if someone went to the trouble of bringing us here, leaving could not possibly be as simple as strolling out through the front door. Perhaps it might be beneficial to familiarize ourselves with the entirety of our surroundings and look for hidden exits?

[frostythehitman]

[ Oh. That's actually smart. Bucky nods and looks around the rest of the lobby. ]

Good idea. Back doors, employee access, fire exits, maybe even a hidden roof hatch somewhere...

[ now he's getting into it. If I Had To Sneak In And Out Of This Hotel To Assassinate Someone, How Would I Do It. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Precisely. I think that may be a more efficient use of one's time than going around in circles.

[frostythehitman]

We should start casing the place, then.

You know how to do that?

[fishingforcompliments]

Wandering around taking note of the things that may be of use to us? I believe that is referred to as "casing the joint"!

[frostythehitman]

...you've never done this before, have you.

[fishingforcompliments]

What makes you say that?

[frostythehitman]

Because you said "I believe that is referred to as 'casing the joint.'"

[fishingforcompliments]

They use different phrases from world to world! In mine, I have heard it referred to as "skulking about suspiciously". But "casing the joint" seemed more accurate.

[frostythehitman]

It's also a lot less judgey about it.

[ SKULKING? SUSPICIOUS? LIKE, WOW, RUDE MUCH????

I mean. it's right. BUT STILL. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she nods]

Yes, I suppose "skulking about suspiciously" does sound rather judgmental...
