[let the roomba yeet himself]

[covenantal]

[ i want future readers of this thread to know that i literally rng'd whether or not yu would succeed in stopping connor and rng said no so basically please understand that fate wants connor to die.

anyway.

Yu will honestly make a choked noise?! ]

What are you doing?!

[ He'll drop his sword to rush over and try to grab at him, but Connor is already out of reach. ]

You idiot-- [ he's not freaking out, who's freaking out? ] Be careful!

[tootsiepop]

[i want all future readers of this thread to know i've been wheezing for several minutes holy shit]

I'm going to check something.

[CASUALLY

like he isn't giving Yu seven simultaneous heart attacks right about now. God.

Anyway— Parkour is listed on his profile and his grip can't quite get tired since he has actuators for muscles. Even though he takes his time and is generally mindful of his every move as he heads down, how badly is this going to go?]

[divus]

[rng says he's going to lose his grip and fall!!





once he's down to the second floor, so it's not a long drop at all. congrats, connor. you are on the sidewalk. your pin is right there.]

[covenantal]

[ Yu, meanwhile, up on the balcony, leaning WAY over the railing trying to see if Connor's okay?????????

why @ god. ]

[tootsiepop]

[Connor, down on the ground, probably laying still for a couple of seconds just. Like. Hm.

Ater a beat, he gets up and scoops his pin up.






And then he proceeds to yeet it again, an even further distance just to see if it disappears into a void or if there's shit to explore outside the building after all.]

[divus]

[he can, indeed, walk down the paris streets after his pin. the scenery surrounding the hotel exists now that he's figured out a workaround for "walking out the front door and ending up back in the temple".]

[covenantal]

[ yeah he'll just stay up here, that's fine. thanks connor ]

[tootsiepop]

[NICE.

Sorry, Yu. But he's going to take a teeny stroll once he retrieves his pin, just to check if there's anything of interest out here. If there's nothing else, though, he'll nyoom back over so he can start climbing back up.]

[divus]

[it's literally just the paris streets. just, like... not crowded with people for once. connor will have a nice stroll, and then it's back up the side of the building for him

go roomba go]

[covenantal]

[ Honestly

presuming Connor makes it up there safely?

Yu is just kinda standing here, looking like he's aged twenty years, and he'll go over to connor and just

icon, to the forehead,

only without any force. it's more like a bop. ]

Don't scare me like that.

[tootsiepop]

[Startling, just a little bit. He blinks rapidly at him as the pressure registers, brief but enough for an alert to pop up in the corner of his vision.]

I'm— sorry? [Touching his forehead??? Nani?????] I said I would only take a minute.

[Connor, that wasn't the issue.]

[divus]

[yu's just jealous he can't parkour like connor can]

[covenantal]

[ YU IS JUST TIRED AND NEEDS ANOTHER FUCKING NAP AFTER ALL OF THAT, THANK YOU.

Whatever, Connor doesn't need to understand it. He's alright, and that's all that matters. ]

... it's fine. We should go.

[ Though he'll lead the way back inside, over to the elevator, he'll glance at Connor over his shoulder. ]

Are we really taking that box with us?

[tootsiepop]

[Following him, and presumably stepping into the elevator once it's open. He hums, quietly.]

Would you like to check it out on our way down? If it's not worth our time, we can always return it.

[divus]

[does connor still have the remote

is eurovision on this tv forever]

[covenantal]

[ BY CONSENSUS NO WE DO NOT HAVE THE REMOTE, the tv was turned off and the remote left on a table before they stepped into an elevator. they're conscientious thieves, alright?

Anyway this will go fine because Yu nods. ]

[tootsiepop]

[It will go so fine.

Once they're both in the elevator, pressumably on their way to the lobby, Connor takes the box out of his pocket and opens it up.]

[divus]

[The elevator doors close behind them, and the elevator starts to descend. When they open the box, the first thing they'll see is a hair comb lying inside of it.

The second thing they'll see is a whirling ball of golden light which emerges from it and circles around them both several times before solidifying into the form of a small, bee-like creature.]

How may I serve you, my-- [The creature's eyes open, and then narrow.] ...you are not my queen, either.

[covenantal]

[ ..............................





Yu, more or less unfazed, just kind of blinks. ]

Hello.

[ ... ]

"Either"?

[tootsiepop]

[Well, this is sure happening. Connor blinks, surprised, still holding the box in his hand.]

... Good evening.

[Hm.]

Are you referring to Ambition?

[divus]

Did you think you were the first people to break into her room?

[welp.]

She's my queen. [The creature looks around, suddenly realizing that... they're in the elevator.] ...are you taking me somewhere?

[covenantal]

[ ... glances. At Connor.

Buddy. We made a mistake. ]

... we weren't exactly intending to, no.

[ but they, uh, sure are now. ]

[tootsiepop]

[Glancing back at Yu. Hm.]

... But it seems like we are now. [Yikes.] Will that be a problem?

[divus]

I think that depends on how long you're going to keep me.

[inb4 ambition comes looking for her and can't find her]
