[ he's going to do his best then. yugi doesn't have any tools, but he'll lay several bricks down, and then slap some mortar on top, and then it's another layer of bricks. ]

True. So what do they look like? Intensity said they can be hurt by the same thing that hurts us, but they're more resilient. Is there anything else you can tell us?

I mean... not much that'll help? They come in a whole lot of shapes and sizes. They got nasty teeth, and nasty claws, and most of em fly.

They mess with your head, too.

[He hesitates, then circles around to the entrance of the door, where there's a discarded trowel. He offer it up; it's covers in a strange, black liquid.]

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

[ he crinkles his nose. ] And most of them fly. H- Heh, figures.

[ ...now that gives him pause. ] Mess with your head how?

[ yugi shakes his hands out of the mortar already on them and takes the trowel, giving it a long, hard stare. what is this black liquid??? ]

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

Like... they take the bad stuff about you and make it worse.

[Mystery?? It looks something like oil, but it's not as viscous. It has a weird smell.]

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

[ he is going to keep this, but he's not going to use it. his hands work just fine. since it seems like everybody is helping to build the wall it should get done in no time, right? ]

Do they have to be close to you to do that?

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

The closer they get, the worse it is, but they can do it from pretty far, too.

[Between the three of you helping, the work goes fast; before long, a new brick wall stands all the way up to the top of the doorway.]

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

Alright, definitely good to know.

[ phew. he's pretty exhausted by the end of it. ]

Is that it for this room? Just keeping those horrible things out, because I, ah, I think we should get you checked out.

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

I mean... the harbingers don't come from here.

Mostly the wall's to keep people from going in and getting hurt.

...checked out?

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

...oh, makes sense.

And, yeah, you're hurt. There's got to be a med bay around here somewhere, right?

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

I mean. Not really?

I guess I could go hang out with Intensity.

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

...if you wouldn't mind. I'd like to know that you're safe and sound. And maybe the both of you can, ah, help us from HQ and stuff. Be, like, central command. [ gives him a hopeful smile. ] We'll do out best, alright, ...

Just, uhm, one more thing... where should we go from here? There were a bunch of doors in the other hall...

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

Depends what kinda stuff you're looking for, I guess. Where do you wanna go?

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

Intensity mentioned fighting the harbingers, so we would ideally want to be prepared for something like that. An armory, I guess. Or anything like that.

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

If you head east from the hallway, R&D's probly got some new toys ready for you.

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

[ he smiles. ] Much appreciated, Hurricane. Now, let's get the heck out of here. I'm going to bring this back to Intensity to, ah, take a look at. [ holds up the trowel. ] And you're going to chill out there with him, right?

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

Yeah. I'll take five until it's time for the countdown to run out.

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

...alright. And thanks for the help. [ in telling them where to go. ] And I'm glad we were all able to get this wall up. Let's get going.

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

You got it.

You want me to bring the trowel to Intensity, so you can get going?

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

If you wouldn't mind.

It's got something strange on it and I feel like he'd want to know about it, so he can run tests or maybe see if he can figure out what it is. [ passes it along to hurricane. ]

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

Will do, dude. Get dressed and I can tell you over the comms if he comes up with anything, kay?

Re: Out of Order

[puzzlers]

Sounds good.

Re: Out of Order

[offontherightfoot]

Catch you later, kay?

[And he's going to head out to go bring this to Intensity]
