[Poland has built a trebuchet.]

[I'll repeat that, to let it sink in.]

[Poland has built a freaking trebuchet. In the foyer by the main entrance.]

[For the first two nights, he more or less kept his grip on things. But he is tired. He is unsettled by all that screaming. And, between arguing with like half of his friends, the Major being the Major, not being able to find Ryohei's sister, and Elaine blowing up, by nightfall this time, he simply didn't have the sort of mental strength left to resist the paranoia.]

[If he were thinking straight, he'd recognize that more or less everyone has tried and failed to bust out of here in the past few nights. But... he can't. All he can think is that everything is being lame, and he needs to get out now.]

[So he's been pulling heavy things out of the closet in the nearest room, wheeling them over in a cart, and flinging them at the veil with a gorram trebuchet.]

[It's not working. And after growing more and more frustrated and freaked out thanks to the absurd levels of stress, he's forced to take a break so he can move the pile of assorted heavy things that's accumulated in front of the totally unharmed veil from his failed attempts. Because they're getting in the way.]

[He slumps down next to what appears to be the engine of a car (not that he recognizes it), beginning to pound his bare fists against the veil.]

Let me out. LET ME OUT!

I doubt it will work. [Elaine's still spirit walking.]

I like, have to try--I totally can't just not try, I can't take it in here anymore!

[Starts tugging at the veil, trying to tear through it, to no avail.]

I need to get out! Everyone's like, acting crazy, and getting mad at me for nothing, and getting hurt and I can't--All the screaming, and I can't think, and there are too many people and it's all totally scary and I need to get out of here!

[...Yeah, he's not doing so well at the moment. Being Poland, he'll be fine in a day, but right now, he's having a little bit of a breakdown.]

Um...
that doesn't seem very safe.

It's totally more accurate than other siege weapons. And I... I like, can't stay in here any longer! I'm totally sick of it!

I understand, but...
you might hurt somebody. And, even if it's accurate... it's a weapon.

I'm like, not gonna hurt anyone! It's not like I've never used one of these before! And like, we can't just stay trapped in here--the screaming, it's--I'm so not gonna just sit around and do nothing!

...It's not that I don't want to do something!
I just can't.

I might not be able to, either. But I will totally try.

[Emma feels even more ashamed than before.]

...Like, come help me. This is way easier to do if you're not alone, and my partner...

[Falters a little, then recovers himself]

...He'll totally feel better if I get him out of here. When I get him out.

From: [identity profile] crustless-pbj.livejournal.com
Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve weapons?
I'd love nothing more than to get out of here...

It's like, not like it's a weapon for aiming at people.

But someone could still get hurt pretty easily.

You could like, come make sure no one runs in front of it while I'm firing.

From: [identity profile] reckless-eagle.livejournal.com
Cool. I'll like, hold off on firing until you get here.

[And spend that time collecting ammo \o\]

[Cohen totally hasn't slept since the event began; he's not sure if he's here or there, he's been splicing to make up for the stress, and he looks and sounds pretty freaking wired. Not helping: screams and panic and the walls closing in are oh so reminiscent of Rapture's civil war, and this is a guy who's a little confused under the best of circumstances.]

Don't stop now! It's been so long since I saw such fighting spirit in a drowning man!

I'm like, not going to. I totally won't be trapped here!

[Flings what appears to be a photocopier at the veil. The photocopier shatters.]

[...Oh, he likes you.]

Then let's let the water in together!

[and Cohen disintegrates, all at once, into a bloody red mist that quickly vanishes.]

[It takes a few moments to arrive. His room is too far from the main entrance to make the journey in one teleport. But don't tell the audience that - it'd spoil the trick.

The red mist appears in the foyer, collapsing together into a roughly human shape which then becomes Cohen. The eyes are the last thing to reform - they remain a flat red for a second before returning to normal.]

[adiojfwsijoajdsoijadso what.]

[What.]


...Okay, so usually I'd care if you're like a demon or something, but right now? If you're gonna help me get out? I'm down. [Desperate times, desperate measures, and there's always Confession for these sorts of situations, right?]

Like, what can you do against that? [Indicates the veil with a sweep of his hand.]

[Cohen can scoff at the demon thing later. Right now there's a mansion to escape! He strides over to the pile of thrown debris, his movements rushed and jerky.]

Have you thought about adding fire to the mix?

[Well, honey, he's a good Christian from the early 15th century, Cohen just teleported in front of him in a swirl of bloody mist, he kind of looks like a creeper, and now he's advising him to set shit on fire. What's the boy supposed to think?]

I was like, kinda taking this in more of a "smash shit" direction, but I could be all over that.
