( quill wouldn't actually say no to that one, the ridiculous commentary in the background has sounded ludicrous but instead-- )

Or you could find a way out.

( much better idea )

[justaneye]

[ Juno Steel, man of action. Who knows what they'll face getting out. ]

As you request.

[ The door is locked, and pulling on it harder doesn't seem to be doing much good. ]

[vrituom]

Yeah, the door was never going to be it.

( her gaze turns back to the ceiling. even though he'd shot out the cameras it was possible that there was still something else that could be seen )

What else does that eye do?

[justaneye]

Beyond vision? Night vision, recording, lip reading, probably some other things.

[ Probably. ]

[vrituom]

( god, he doesnt even know )

Is there anything hidden you can see?

( hidden to expected human vision anyway. she wasn't human but ahe still expected it to see more )

[justaneye]

[ He's pretty sure he never pretended to be anything other than a disaster, at least.

He'll spend a moment getting the THEIA Spectrum to run through its paces. ]

No, and nothing improves the bad porn soundtrack.

[vrituom]

Then we'll have to do it the usual way.

( she moves from her spot, taking slow, careful steps around the room. rather than looking for anything hidden she's looking for something that doesn't seem like it fits, a small detail that's out of place.

what quill will notice is nothing -- nothing seems out of place. everything about this room was carefully put together and for a purpose. there's only one way out )

[justaneye]

Doesn't seem to be working out for you.

[ Maybe he's a bit of an ass, but he's also half a step away from just punching a door out of frustration. ]

[vrituom]

Oh, do shut up.

( she'll take a second look just to spite him, to check. she'd also love to watch him punch that door )

[justaneye]

It looks like you're stuck with me.

[ He's going to head towards the door, although for the moment he's just glaring at it. ]

[vrituom]

No I'm not.

( currently perhaps but not permanently.

and she might consider how worth hitting him would be if he didn't shut up )

[justaneye]

[ At that he turns around to look at her and gesture at the door. ]

Then why don't you go ahead and get us free?

[vrituom]

I didn't say it was going to be simple.

( evidenced by her now glaring at him for his suggestion. she said she wasn't going to be stuck not that she could instantly get out )

[justaneye]

And you're enjoying my company too much to do something hard?

[ He knows that's not the answer, but he doesn't wait to see how she responds. Instead he does punch the door. It's solid, and he feels the impact through his hand. ]

[vrituom]

( she'd love to hit his head into the door just to shut him up even though that would hurt her in return. it doesn't stop quill from debating whether or not it would be worth it.

she looks over at him when he punches the door. no concern on her expression, maybe a hint of smugness at his responses )

Well, if we didn't know it was solid before-- ( a pause ) I'm surprised you haven't shot it yet.

[justaneye]

[ He shakes out his hand with a wince on his face. ]

That's not going to help.

[ Obviously. Punching was different.

Juno sighs. ] I knew this place sucks.

[vrituom]

Yeah, it took you this long to work that out?

( quill hated it from the moment she'd arrived )

Well placed shot could work.

( unless his gun was not the right sort of gun for it )

[justaneye]

No, it didn't.

[ But everywhere he turns just confirms it. ]

Could melt the lock.

[vrituom]

Then melt something else.

( hinges, the door itself. though melting the lock might not be the worst idea )

Does it only melt things?

[justaneye]

No. It can kill things too. Or stun them.

[ Things, people...whatever. ]

[vrituom]

I figured that.

( it's a gun. she meant--

with a sigh quill pulls her own out again, playing with one of the settings before offering it out to him )

Try that.

[justaneye]

[ Why is she handing him her gun? They're definitely not that close. ]

Uh.

[ Juno will take it, then, aiming and shooting at the door. ]

[vrituom]

( the blast was enough that it should have destroyed the lock but the door looks strangely standing.

she steps over, taking her gun back as she passes him, keeping it in her hand as she pushes the door. which doesnt move )

Now that's interesting.

[justaneye]

Looks like your gun's not that great either.

[ Not much interesting about that. ]

[vrituom]

( ignoring him-- )

It doesn't even look like you shot it.
