[ rika goes quiet, and stops pounding on the walls of her cage.
mostly because she's too busy crying, curling in on herself. there has to be someone she can be herself around. she needs someone who understands the real her! that was supposed to be hanyuu and then it was supposed to be satoko - except, well, maybe neither of them were being their honest selves for one another.
and now it's bernkastel. having bernkastel had almost made it okay that everything is wrong now. ]
[Allen manages to get Rowan to let him go, mostly by facepets and talking soothingly even when he is clearly in a bit of a panic. she whines a bit but does let him go so she can shift to her squirrel form and climb onto his shoulder.
then, Allen is going to try to lower himself down from the observation deck. his grip isn't that great, but. maybe... he can avoid serious damage?]
[ … Allen. Joonghyuk is going to have sholmes double check the question here and yell— ]
You have 59 cubic blocks. What is the minimum number that needs to be taken away in order to construct a solid cube with none left over?! Is the answer 32?!
[ unfortunately for allen but also probably good for allen is that he'll mostly avoid damage but his footing when he finally makes it down won't be so great either from being beaten up earlier, the shattered glass on the ground, or a combination of both. for the most part, his landing is...decent.
as for joonghyuk's question to the labcoat and not for the prompt, they'll respond with a laugh. "Exactly! It's the only way to be free of them. If we don't, then we'll never be free." there will be some beeping from the prompt. it seems to be slowly timing out..? maybe.
as for sholmes, well, probably shouldn't have kicked the blade for another reason because: 55% until Intercision Completion ]
[the important thing is Allen is down and with only some cuts and glass shards. especially since he'll be back up and running toward the cage while working to get his arm to activate again. it's a bit of a strain, but he should be able to manage it?]
[ Hm… Joonghyuk also wants to kill the angels, so he is very interested in all of this despite the children massacre happening here.
He enters 32 on the keyboard. ]
… You take children because they’re vulnerable.
[ Is that right? Niah comes closer to the lab coat to make sure they don’t do anything funny while Allen and Sholmes figure that out (he hopes this all works cause Jesus help). ]
[ sorry allen! no yaoi arm for you this time around, perhaps it's his fatigue or something else but instead it'll just go short. no awful feedback, at least? but the good news is that joonghyuk will enter the answer just in time but, uh, a new prompt will appear with a new question for him. though since he's asking the labcoat a question, he'll get a response. they're unaware of his plans of torture but—
"We take children because we want to see if we can't free them from "sin". If we could free ourselves from "sin" then we wouldn't have to worry about the bomb. It's too late for adults." ]
What number is logically missing from the sequence below? 348269, 284315, ****, 8438, 4811, 842, 86
[ and as sholmes is looking at the cage, from the top i assume, there won't be much of anything for him to grab onto. he'll see the narrow slit made in the cage that would allow and has allowed the blade to slide through. he can see that there are a multitude of thick electrical cables that are connected to the cage but they will be welded shut. 60% until Intercision Completion ]
[how dumb is it that he's so bad off and can't use his arm like he's used to? it's so dumb! and probably that's why he's able to activate it this time.
he doesn't take the time to feel relieved, though, already aiming for a weak point in the case.]
I've got it!
[he says with more confidence that he actually feels, but still that's a mighty swing of his sharp claws against the cage.]
[Anyways, its frustrating being a clown up here with no way to get inside, himself. He's going to follow the direction of the cables with his eyes...where are they coming from?]
[ sholmes is welcomed to look where the cables lead and they'll be connected to the ceiling which run all the way back to the control room/observation deck. will...he try to monkey them?
as for joonghyuk there is no freedom from puzzles because he'll be faced with a new one. no spoilers of how many screens are left because only one will appear at a time. good luck! as for his demands, the labcoat seems thrilled to bits about how he keeps managing to solve them as he does. "Wouldn't it? If we're free from Dust then we'd never have to worry about Angels again. The problem is targeting them. That's the final piece we're missing. We don't have the perfect sample for that." ]
What letter is missing? DFROIOND.
[ now for rika and allen? poor rika. honestly. poor rika because after allen smacks the cage wit his yaoi hand, the blade will drop a considerable amount of distance. any view that rika had of bernkastel has been completely obscured. the only thing left of her daemon that she can see are her feet. if she was afraid of being alone before now it might feel even worse. all she'll be able to see is darkness with the occasional spark from the machine doing its work and because of the actions of both allen and sholmes. but what's definitely true is that soon the blade will drop and her connection severed.
[oh, god. Allen just. completely freezes. terrified. horrified. brute forcing it will only make it come down faster. he doesn't... know what else to do?!
except. maybe. looking for a lock. there HAS TO BE A WAY TO OPEN IT???]
[ "No, no, you're mistaken. We'll be free if we get rid of the Dust and the Angels. You'll see. All we need is a perfect sample. The perfect method to track them.
...that girl. She's close to being like them. That's why this experiment must be completed no matter what."
they'll sound as though they've completely delusional by now with the progress of the experiment. all of the lights in the control room turning on and other processes seemingly turning on as it prepares to be completed. which means it looks like they're not going to give him any answers about who made the security system but it seems to be pretty effective, doesn't it? so congrats on your new prompt and new puzzle joonghyuk! ]
What is the longest word in the English language that can be produced out of the set of letters below? Letters may only be used once in the word so produced: MEOIALJTBG
[ and as allen and sholmes look around, there are still the hinged doors at the front of the container/cage that still do look considerably heavy and are latched shut. as far as the top goes, well, since most of the blade is inside of the container, sholmes is free to walk across the entire top of it... not that it reveals any secrets on its own. just more cables and the ability to admire how well its constructed. they really made sure that no one was going to get out of this once they were inside.
[He snaps out of it, for the moment. He needs to know. He needs to figure it out. Put emotions aside. Nothing but the brain. Logic and reasoning. Language. Letters. Put it together...]
