[Okay, yeah, Mizuki has gotten himself into some trouble. Thorns will quickly take out his sword, coat the blade in a yellow toxin, and—]

¡Mizuki, a tu izquierda!

[—charge at the thing to stab it between the eyes, or what he thinks are eyes, anyway. Hopefully avoiding hitting Mizuki with the poison, too.]

[leggierissimo]

[ It's a direct hit! The wolf yelps sharply, tensing up in Mizuki's noodles, and then begins to fizzle out into static like the other one did.

The phone in Sidney's hand plays a victory fanfare. ]

[wolfetracks]

( he just looks at it. )

Thanks, boss. Havin' fun?

[leggierissimo]

"Having a blast, thanks."

[wolfetracks]

Hmm.

Will you be able to contact us directly if you need to, if I hang up? Planning ahead.

[leggierissimo]

"Once you're in the building, it shouldn't be a problem. I doubt I'll need to, though. I trust you'll do a bang-up job."

[wolfetracks]

Hah... We certainly will.

( i hope you explode him kaed. )

Anything you wanna say before I hang up?

[leggierissimo]

[ a finger on the monkey's paw curls-- ]

"Not really. Have fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

[ No need to hang up, because Joshua will do that for you! ]

[wolfetracks]

( bold words to say to a man who's never actually met you before. )

Thorns, your phone.

( ...

also.

h. he's going to be so brave and give thorns a little kiss on the cheek. )

Good job.

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is beaming at Thorns, signing his thanks. And then he just makes a sort of "aww" gesture when he gets a kiss. Cute... wtf. Get it, Thorns- ]

[sailingfor]

[This is a Horrible day to not have his hat to hide in, thinks local man as his cheeks go red and he coughs into his metal fist in some attempt to play it cool while taking the phone back with the opposite hand.]

Gracias. And it's, ah... Isidro, please. Si no te importa.

[And then he clears his throat a second time and shoves both hands into his pockets. Be cool. Be So cool. (He can hear Juana laughing at him all the way from here, he swears.)]

So. Inside? [you flustered him sidney]

[lovelyredthread]

[ Oh his wings do little flightless happy flaps when he sees that. He and Shadow Milk are walking to the door already, but they have a little boy looking at them looking thrilled now. ]

[sailingfor]

[babe why is this small child flapping at us]

[wolfetracks]

( i don't know? hello small child. he's more shy now. )

... Yeah, I don't mind.

[sailingfor]

[Standing there having a moment. Not headed inside because he's distracted now. The first thing he blurts out, for whatever stupid reason, is:]

It's just my real name. [Babe he knows. You in fact told everyone your first name And your codename like, 15 minutes ago.] More personal this way.

[Girl how down horrendous are you]

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki trots ahead of the lovebirds over to Shadow Milk and Pavlova. Mostly to give them just a little space to themselves. But also so he's not taking up the rear. ]

[wolfetracks]

( they're being targeted (given respect and acceptance)........

sidney can't help but fluster a bit before at least trying to shake it off. )

I know, hon. ... I like your name.

Now, let's go regroup.

( yes he is taking the other's hand and leading the way. come along. )

[sailingfor]

[The Corazonix in his right arm is Freaking Out a little due to the strong emotions, so some of the metal blorps are simply pointing at Sidney like !!! this is it!!! we found the object your heart wants everyone go home

Joshua has been forgotten about because Thorns' gay ass Cannot be normal about men, apparently.

So, we're going inside the radio tower now—]

[jesterlies]

[Gross, go be lovebirds somewhere else.]

[For Pav's sake he does not voice this and waits by the door. They have to do some blood magic here, he thinks. Pavlova has the book.]

cw self harm

[lovelyredthread]

[ He does in fact! he was a little distracted but he leafed through to the right page and is checking what he needs to do... ]

Well, it doesn't specify that we need any kind of rune or sigil to open it...

[ Well, there was one easy way to do this, then.

He pulls out one of his arrows from his quiver, tucking the book away, and draws the sharp edge across his palm. His expression twists, but not as much as one might expect... and then he presses his hand to the door, smack in the middle of the bloodstone array. ]

[jesterlies]

[SONBOY NO HE WAS GOING TO TRY AND TAKE THAT FROM YOU BEFORE YOU COULD DO IT]

[Its fine its just a little blood he's fine. it was NECESSARY. WhatEVER. He isn't FUSSED.]

[Give him your hand right now young man.]

[lovelyredthread]

[ Oops-

Ahaha well, he did warn him...

He doesn't fight giving his dad his hand though. He was just going to heal it himself but he'll give his dad the peace of mind here. ]

[leggierissimo]

[ The moment that Pavlova's bloodied hand presses to the cool stone, the door reacts. The groove splitting the stone into two "doors" fully splits into a separation, the array on both halves lighting up with a soft, red glow. No need to open the doors, because they'll swing open right on their own.

Slowly, of course. They're automatic doors, and they're not designed to swat out the person that just applied the proper activation. That would just be silly.

And when they open, the inside of the building is... dark! What will you do? ]

[wolfetracks]

'Course it's dark. Anyone got a flashlight?

( does not know phones can be flashlights now. )

[mooninthewater]

[ It only takes a moment for Mizuki's hair and spots on his skin both start glowing a pale blue when he walks inside. It's not a ton of light or anything like that, but it's certainly enough to make out vague shapes around them. Sort of like trying to look around in the moonlight - pale enough to probably need some secondary light source, but bright enough to work if there's nothing else. ]
