Flayn, stay calm—we're getting you out!

[they push sand aside as quickly as possible—and at the reveal of the key, Asch groans in irritation, fishing his two keys out. at least they had everything they needed.

he fumbles for a moment, trying to place the keys into their correct spots as quickly, but manages to slot them both in.]</small

[ It's hard to dig in all the loose sand, but between the two of them, and the absolute dread that they've basically found Flayn in her own strange, little coffin, they manage. ]

We're almost there, Flayn—

[ He tries to sound calm, but the direness leaks into his voice anyway. Dimitri takes the two of his keys as well, putting them into place as quick as he can after Asch. ]

[She takes a deep breath to calm herself and nearly immediately regrets it - there isn't enough air in here for her to be doing that. Frustrated, she allows her staff to drop and pounds on the ceiling again.

Her fist slams into the more prominent indents on her side of the lid - three of the "keys" at once.]

[Asch, for his part, just wholeass presses all five. musical coffin. bad! hate this. he presses his body as close to the lid as possible, trying to speak through a hinge. the piano rings out.]

We're right here. Can you see anything?

[ There isn't much room or opportunity to speak with Flayn like this, so he lets Asch handle the questioning for now. He worries briefly at his lip as he clears off sand, looking for anything else odd about this coffin, any indication what they're supposed to do with it at all as he searches for a way to rip it open. ]

[Flayn doesn't know how to play the piano, guess she'll die]

[that was a gagtag but I'm leaving it there to commemorate work getting busy and cucking me from deleting it for half an hour.]

It's d-- ah!

[that sudden flash of light startles her into giving a small shriek. Oops.]

...there's something... on the top of this? [she reaches up and presses the other two keys.

Also uh she sounds like she's having trouble breathing. Because she is! The mod tag said ages ago the air situation is Not Great and panicking certainly isn't helping.]
getdrekt: ('Cause it's people like you)

[oh yeah flayn is deffo running out of oxygen. he trades a glance with Dimitri, and stares at the keys, jolting at the yell.]

You've got a set of keys in there. Damn it...

[he want 2 press, but....... what..... 2 press.......

maybe for now we should see what happens when everything is pressed on both sides!]

[ Dimitri knows shit all about music, but they messed around with a piano earlier—are there any more indents? Are they missing a key? He'll watch for anything strange as they press the keys. ]

Flayn—you may need to tell us if you see anything strange.

[ Maybe they're supposed to collaborate? But she shouldn't be talking much, either... they'll have to figure this out quickly. He speaks as calmly as he can, sounding confident. ]

...We'll have you out of there soon.

DDBCA, ECBAD, DBEE...

[dammit. The light fades before she can see the last letter.

Also she's losing consciousness now because I'm getting pulled into a meeting but luckily they only have to guess one note, they can probably get it by process of elimination.

GO ON WITHOUT ME FRIENDS I'VE BEEN TOLD I WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 6:30 PST]

Flayn? FLAYN!

[Damn it. but that's more than enough to go on.

he presses all the keys again to deactivate them, then punches in the first sequence.]


D, D, B, C... A. There.

[uno!]

[ When Flayn goes quiet, he quickly presses in the next keys before they can forget the letters. It's a little clumsy, no rhythm besides to be quick, ]

E, C, B, A, D...

[ Then, ]

D, B, E, E... [ ...

and thanks to a good roll, ]
C?

[Sup. She's here. Passed out.



This isn't a gagtag she's just passed out. Give her back her knife, maybe she'll wake up.]

[as Flayn rises, Asch dashes to her, catching her in his arms—and gently laying her down. pressing two fingers to her neck, he closes his eyes, and finally nods]

She's fine—just... passed out.

[his eyes flit to Dimitri, expectantly. you guys are a thing, right???]

[ They are not a thing you stupid bastard. Dimitri does look tense as he awaits Asch's verdict, letting out a deep sigh of relief after, shoulders sagging. ]

Thank goodness. I was worried we were too late...

[ He gives them a moment to catch their breath, literally in Flayn's case, as he looks ahead. ]

...It stands to reason that this is the last path.

[give her her KNIFE



anyway, after a little while, she stirs. there's air out here! she can breathe again!]


...ngh...?

She'll probably just need a little time to-- [oh!!!

she breath!!!

Asch helps her sit up, emotional channel full of concern and care.]


You're all right. You're out.
