==> TRY, ANYWAY
What's the worst that could happen?
(Well, you could shred your hand without it growing back, an unhelpful part of your brain mentions. Right, this is why WHITE-ANT is a more comforting internal monologue than your own. Your internal monologue just lists all the reason why you should do nothing except stand very still, paralyzed by fear. Joy!)
You shake your head, ignoring that. You have weird plant fiber hands. You have no idea if they're solid enough to put enough weight on the tumblers, but there's really not much else you could do.
You could go read a book, but this seems honestly way more interesting.
Staring at your hand, you steal yourself. This is going to hurt. Or possibly, this is not going to hurt that much at all. You're not actually sure which one is worse.
You jam your index finger into the keyhole. It doesn't hurt; instead, you feel a weird pressure as you finger sort of... unshapes itself?
[It doesn't work.]
[Oh well.]
You pull your finger out of the keyhole. Your finger starts to grow out to a more fingerlike shape as you look at it.
How the hell are you still sensing temperature normally with these things?
Do you try again, or do you go do something else? You now have two more hours to kill until they come for you.
You should probably think about escaping.
