CoolZack: will have to be presented to the residents first for them to decide if they want the ORDER to be invoked.
CoolZack: They are fully allowed at any time to cancel an order they later decide against for any reason.
tiptopGipgop: That’s an admirable move, but I feel like in some capacity that’s just what having compulsive orders off means.
Levyyts: No
Levyyts: Rule prevents not only compulsive orders, but also orders such as “Tars Minion”-gate.
Levyyts: CoolZack has brains somewhere in formless eye body.
CoolZack: Oh, and their name isn't tard mossbrag.

Gene
>Worry about getting them out later.
>Right now they need food and rest.

Your mind rushes with possibilities again.

Mulligan pipes up quietly. "Might just want to rest here a m-minute before any big breakout plans, Gene."

"You've been in there so goddamn long!! I know it's-- I mean that's probably the best option, but I want to just show you around and not have you be trapped in that thing for another minute!"

"A-Alright."

You frown, sinking a little. "Sorry."

Need dispenser. Tools. Person who installed the cage. Don't use the grenade. Maybe a halberd? PTSD?

Wait.

Don't use the grenade.

Don't use the grenade.

Don't use the grenade.

You've got it.



"I think," you postulate, "I can just use this thing to blast the wall open or something! The needspenser down the hall just pooped it out for me, OBVIOUSLY for this purpose, I'm not just gonna ignore it!"

"Are you really sure th-that that's safe, Gene? I-I'm truly alright in here, a-and no telling if maybe you're wrong and I'm still some sort of threat, and--"

You shake your head vehemently. "No, no, Mull, it's gonna-- I got this. Just go sit in a really far away corner and I'm gonna blast you the HELL outta there, and we're going to take a big-ass tour of this place lickety split."

He frowns, and starts to slink off toward the back of the room.

Time to start The Plan.



Oh my god.

Oh my god Gene what have you done.

There were so many safer, simpler options.
