Week 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well, someone took the bait last week, and now two people (if either of them could really be called a person) are dead. Not only that, it seems like your first host is now out of commission and replaced by someone who claims to be The Phantom. While he may not be incredibly worse than Facilier yet, it would be a stretch to say he's an improvement.

But, things aren't all bad! When the guests wake up on Sunday, they will find the stairs in the foyer are now open, leading to a whole new floor to explore!

And there's booze so no one will have to drink vinegar anymore.

28 guests remain]

[upgradeit]

Yeah. [He says that in a wary tone, because he's not sure where this is going but he's sure he doesn't like it.] Why?

[sharpasanarrow]

[There's nothing to be suspicious of here.]

Perhaps you could assist me with the structure of the barricade. Make yourself useful.

[upgradeit]

[Damnit, Jim!]

I'm an engineer, not an architect. [Liiiiiiiike, even if he wanted to help it's not really his area.] But I mean. I guess I can help?

[sharpasanarrow]

[Close enough.]

I need you to help me make it hard to tear down.

[upgradeit]

[He has some serious doubts about how well this is gonna go, but.]

Ok, well. [Hmmm, what do we have to work with?] I think if you build it from the inside and have it go across the doorway, it'll be harder to tear down?

[sharpasanarrow]

[He nods, mentally taking note.]

Hm, good.

[...]

How do I avoid trapping myself inside?

[upgradeit]

If you build a hole right about here [Hiro makes a circular gesture at right about the height that it would be comfortable for most people to crawl through.] you could crawl through it once the rest of it was done and plug it with something from a different room? I guess?

[sharpasanarrow]

[He nods, taking note of it.

It'd be better if he took actual notes on it, though.]

Do you have any paper on hand?

[The ones he has on him are emergency-only, for the sudden implementation of new rules.]

[upgradeit]

Here. [Casually rips a page out from underneath his sketch of the second floor and hands it over.] I hope you realize you're gonna have to fill the entire doorway otherwise they're just going to climb it to get over.

[sharpasanarrow]

Thank you.

[He graciously takes it and quickly makes note of everything.

He looks up the height of the doorway up and down.]

Do you think there's enough furniture here for that?

[upgradeit]

[Glances around the bar and mentally tries to visualize it filling up the doorway.]

. . . Probably not, if you want it to be really sturdy. Maybe you should grab some furniture from the room with the pool table?

[sharpasanarrow]

Hm. Yes, that could be a good option.

[He nods, writes it down.]

Are you good at visualizing structures, young man?

[upgradeit]

Pretty good.

[He flips the page in his notebook, glances at the doorway and furniture again, and sketches out a basic plan before handing it over to Arrow.]

Here.

[sharpasanarrow]

[He gives it a good look over. For something done so quickly, it's pretty impressive.]

Good work, young man.

[He gives him an approving nod.]

This should be very useful.
