[Over the past few days, York's been trying to keep calm. Kat's name had disappeared from the room she and Noble-Six had shared, and he's scoured the floors at least three or four times and made several filtered entries to her. Wash was being unresponsive as well--his nameplate was still there, thank God--but even York couldn't pick the lock. So today he's pounding on the door in the third floor hallway. Naturally, he doesn't seem to notice or care that his journal has opened.]

God dammit Wash, open up or I'll break the damn door down!



[UNSC filter, sans Maine]

Please tell me you're all still here. We're down at least two, maybe three.

[/UNSC]



[Doctors]

Uh, you guys are still here, right? Please say you are. [Even if you're Muppets.]

[/Doctors]


((ooc: Open in person or over the journal. Probably not the best time for kissing unless you're one of the predetermined ones who will punch York in the face for trying.))

[Carolina glances over at him. She'd really rather not have him hurt himself in the process of trying to get Wash out of his room.]

You're not to hurt yourself, understand?

[encryptedlock]

[He gives her a long look, but he eventually nods.]

All right. Ready when you are.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[She means it, mister. Still, she nods and takes a couple steps back again.]

On three.

[encryptedlock]

[And he counts to three, charging in time with her swing...Spoilers, it's not going to work either.]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[The piece in her hand just bends and cracks further in her grip, not working against the door a second time. She calmly, cooly tosses the part to the side, away from York and glances over at him.]

[encryptedlock]

This is bullshit. [He sounds frustrated, but this is a pretty clear indication that force isn't going to work.]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina definitely hears that frustration in his voice and blows out a breath.]

Got any explosives?

[encryptedlock]

[York makes an irritated noise.]

Plasma grenade. We could try it. Just got to be careful to get out of range.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina nods, stepping up to the door, trying to find some small nook or something to grab onto.]

How many?

[encryptedlock]

Just brought one. I have more in my room, but.

[But do you really need more than one plasma grenade to blow off a door?]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

Good. wanted to make sure it wasn't the last one. [Because you never know, there could be lava-immune ooctopi.]

[encryptedlock]

[Hey, you never know.]

Ready for an explosion?

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina stands up and nods.]

Wash, if you're in there, stand back from the door.

[encryptedlock]

Fire in the hole.

[York primes the grenade, sets it, and hustles out of the way. Plasma grenades have a pretty good blast radius...

...but they still completely fail to put a dent is Wash's door.]

Bullshit.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina darts in the opposite direction from him and she's really starting to get pissed at that door. Still she has one more idea.]

One sec, let me try my camoflague.

[And she clicks to activate it but, well, it isn't activating.]

[encryptedlock]

[...Waaaaiting.]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[She waits too, holding up one arm so she can see if it happens or not. Pausing. Oh goddammit castle. Goddammit.]

Figured out what my loss is.

[encryptedlock]

--What, just now?

Seriously, caste? Seriously?

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Well, she hadn't had any need for the camo until now, really. She could've used it or her speed on the expedition, but the armor wouldn't work in the Dead Zone. Might as well try her speed, then, too. She attempts to activate it aaaaand nothing.]

Speed enhancement's gone too.

[encryptedlock]

[He swears.]

Well, that's just peachy.

Could have been worse, I guess, but that's not exactly nice of it. [Worse being, of course, that it could have been memories of him.]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[It definitely could have been much worse, but it really, really sucks that she lost those two enhancements. She can be more pissed later.

Still, she'll try one more thing. She flips on the voice modifier and speaks in Wash's voice,] Castle, I'm out here. Better open the door.

[encryptedlock]

[He waits again, then carefully tries to open the door.]

Nothing.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

Dammit. [Carolina flicks off the voice modifier and gives the door another shove, as if that could possibly change anything.]

Who else are we missing, York?

[encryptedlock]

[He slumps up against the wall, and his voice sounds quiet and defeated.]

...Kat. And Tex.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Well. Carolina isn't really sure how to react to that news. Clearly he's upset about their departure and that needs to be handled, but she had obviously negative feelings toward both women. She continues to stand, arms crossed.]

Both today?
