Partners In Peril: Mao and Naho

[Whether willing or just, there comes a magical shove to force you and someone else through the door leading down into the earth.]

[The passageway is cold, but at least it's well lit. Albeit with flames of blue fire.]

[It goes down, down, down, until you reach the first part....]

...Ah.

Um.

[Looks around for a rope??]

...so we're playing with riddles this time hmm?

[If anything, she seems amused-- although her expression also appears as though she's not in the mood at all for such games.]

Just like last time, this won't be easy. Even less so for you, it seems.
beeknighted: (Ooh black and yellow!)

I'll do my best anyway. Hello.

I certainly hope so.

[Might as well offer a quick introduction before they go off to risk their lives and bodies.]

Yuurei.
beeknighted: (Here we have our latest advancement)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Mao. Nice to meet you.

Do you have any ideas about getting down safely?

[personal profile] misinforms 2020-04-13 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's see...

If we're both going to get down there, the most logical way would be to see if you can lower me down there slowly. Or at least cautiously enough that I can avoid those things.

Ideally there may be a way to deactivate them... in a less ideal way, I may be able to have you sit on my shoulders while I navigate.
beeknighted: (there is no way)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It says occupancy one so I think only one person can go across at a time? Riding on your shoulders is one idea if you think you can navigate those spikes that dexterously.

But if it's lowering someone down... I think you might have an easier time lowering me than I would lowering you.

[Gestures to his stump arm.]

[personal profile] misinforms 2020-04-13 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that may be true. However, if we can't get rid of the spikes-- well. You can't exactly catch me if I have to follow you at some point. So it may be a risk worth taking.
beeknighted: (At Honex we constantly strive)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...If you're sure you want to take the risk, then we can try it.

Lay your body down here on the cliff and I'll use your arm to climb down. If I use my feet against the side of the cliff I should be able to remove some of the strain.

At least this way your body will have ample support.

If it comes down to it-- let go. I'd rather not be responsible for dragging you down with me if there's nothing else to be done.

[She's oddly casual about it anyway.]
beeknighted: (Hey Adam. Hey Barry.)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, there's no way I'm going to drop you.

[Checking out the scissor gate lift area for how feasibly he could hook his foot on something while laying down.]

[personal profile] misinforms 2020-04-13 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Huhuhu... well, I won't argue with that. I'd prefer everything work out nicely after all.

[It's nice that he's feeling confidant now though. Perhaps this stands a chance to work out well after all.]
beeknighted: (Students faculty distinguished bees)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a stretch to call it confidence]

Of course, we'll try for that. But, hmm... where exactly can I lower you? This cliff is pretty high, even lying down that's a good 15 foot drop down into spikes... You could kick off from the wall and try to jump into a safe area, but I don't like your chances...

[Looking up at the ceiling??]

[personal profile] misinforms 2020-04-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
The closer I am to them, the better my chances are. A running leap from the cliff would be a suicide mission. At least this way I have more control and a better grasp of where I need to go.

[She says that, but does it really work that way? She seems confidant anyway.

Or perhaps that's just what she wants you to think. Who knows.]
beeknighted: (Hey Adam. Hey Barry.)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mao can't believe this is the best plan they can come up with]

Would it help if I took off my coat and you could hold onto that as a rope for a few more inches?
misinforms: (pic#6467979)

[personal profile] misinforms 2020-04-13 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose that might help. Sure, why not.

[SHE'LL TAKE IT.]
beeknighted: (Hey Adam. Hey Barry.)

[personal profile] beeknighted 2020-04-13 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taking his coat off, leather should be durable right. Wrapping his hand tight around one end and getting into position on the ground.]

[Once he's comfortably settled in, she'll reach down for the end of the coat sleeve before cautiously crawling over the edge, using her feet to steadily descend.

Once she's as far as she can go, she'll look back over her shoulder to see what kind of jump she has to make, so she can judge how much force she'll need to get there.]
