Entry tags:
final investigation
[It's been almost a week since Orthrus' lucky escape. Almost a week, of all calls to Heisenberg going (metaphorically) to voicemail. Almost a week, to rest and recover from the harrowing losses of the previous Friday.
It's been almost a week. And the storms are getting worse.
You know the locked door on the first floor? The one that goes into the center of the tower, right across from the great entry hall doors?
Today, there's a heavy iron key sticking out of the lock. With a familiar crest on the head.
The key is sticky with wet yellow paint, and wetter blood.]

The one hanging from the ceiling is a punching bag. The paint has been almost flaked completely off of the otherwise sturdy leather bag.]

He'll take a look around the rest of the room, and if there's nothing worth noting, he'll continue on into the second room.]
no subject
But unless he wants to take a couple swings at the training dummy just to see what it does, there's nothing much else to see in here.]

Then after a second, the pieces are pulled back into shape by the powerful magnets hidden in the joints.]
no subject
... he'll file that thought away for later, oblivious to the happenings in other threads, and go to check out that other room.]

He's. A little concerned about that door, though. Carefully he'll lay one hand on the door handle and attempt to turn it, the other ready to draw his sword just in case...]
no subject
And speaking of... Technically, behind this door should just be the boiler room.
So then why's it so dark in here?]
no subject
So, uh, what's he about to find in here
even though the player already knows?]cw: labored breathing
The room appears to be empty, but then it's hard to tell when the only light comes from a couple of dim red bulbs that do nothing but stain the shadows blood red.
As Baldr approaches the center of the room, cautiously holding his sword...
Crrrrrunch. Baldr steps on something glass.
The only other sounds in the room are the background rattle of the boiler, some low, staggered breathing...
And the sound of liquid, dripping onto the floor.]
cw: labored breathing
Felix-san! Nuadha-sama! Orthrus-san! I need you in here!
[And in the meantime, he's going to bend down to get a better look at whatever glass he just stepped on.]
no subject
What is it?!
no subject
Listen... do you hear that?
no subject
If you hear it too, then it isn't the blood-dripping ghost again. Should we call out?
no subject
[ he listens closely ]
...Who's there? Heisenberg...?
1/2
His fingers come back wet and sticky, as he picks up a pair of familiar round sunglasses.]
2/2 CW: labored breathing CW: Gigeresque body horror, wires
Wires and cables creep under his skin, he's been stripped down to his undershirt and his usual hat is gone. Blood drips from the corner of his cracked lips and down the shaft of the spike of metal that pierces all the way through his body.
The whites of his eyes are bloodshot and he seems barely able to focus. A droplet of blood runs down his cheek from the corner of his eye when he sees the three of them.]
no subject
We need to get him down from there!
no subject
He sucks in a deep breath, his hand going to his mouth ]
Oh great mother goddess... was that...
[ The punishment for helping him? ]
no subject
[His hand is off the sword hilt instantly as he shifts into command mode.]
Mei-san, see if you can find what these wires are connected to. Orthrus-san, be ready to help catch him once we find a way to get him down. Quickly!
[As for himself... well... Hubert and Felix have both taught him a few things, haven't they...?]
no subject
[ Getting ready to do so now! ]
no subject
[She runs up and starts trying to inspect the wires for an end point and way to get them out.]
no subject
[Unfortunately, Heisenberg is in no state to tell them that right now. But suspended like that, it's going to be difficult to get any sort of healing magic up there...
... time to improvise. With the wind magic he learned from Hubert and Felix's Faith magic, he's just going to combine the two to create a healing storm of sorts. Hopefully it will be able to go up high enough to have at least some effect.]
