Done and done! Let me know if him getting his hand through is implausible, and I'll edit accordingly (adding that he made the hole bigger first, or the like). I left it vague as to whether he could actually reach the handle at all also.

If he can reach it, should I roll for something to see if he can figure out how the door is locked?

Duncan can definitely get his hand through the hole he made! I'm imagining it roughly the size of a shoebox viewed from the top below and to the left of the knob, so there's plenty of space. And because of that positioning, I'd say it's pretty easy to just reach on through and work the door knob, so no roll necessary.

Excited (and a bit apprehensive) to see where the hand through the door goes. Fingers crossed this stays all G-rated and easy on my heart.

I don't want to spoil too much, but...

Ooohh, so he can open it by feeling around? Alright! I'll end my next post with him opening the door and stepping inside the next room. He'd probably wanna go first and have Pebs stay behind his back, just in case.

@Vertigo Do you wanna post a door-opening post or should I post something for pebs first?

Hmm... I'm fine either way, so whichever you think would work better for you goes! @Typical

@VertigoEh I’ll have Pebs look down the drain while Duncan handles the door then. Look through the cracks with the flashlight on her phone.

@Alamantus Shoot, I just realized I never replied to your comment on Discord. Yes, I think it'd be better to keep in touch with, especially with some small stuff. Since the group's small, just posting on the thread works too, but it just feels so... inefficient. So yeah, I'd prefer we switch to a Discord if possible.

As for the post, pretty standard stuff. Took the liberty of assuming there's no signal (because uh. well. hello police) but lemme know if I should change that. Otherwise, I guess Pebs is just looking into the drain at this point. So, so relieved this isn't becoming a slasher film. Clearly I've been watching too many of those, but hey, Pebs can be paranoid for me!

Also, it's pretty hard to pick up any flat object that's lying down, so picking up a key with a hook seems pretty undoable... Maybe if it weren't lying down, sure, but flat on its side there wouldn't really be anything for the hook to hook onto, right? (basically just pointing this out in case this is actually what the characters are meant to do. If there a spoilers, feel free to keep your secrets and stay mum).

Ok! I sent you and @Vertigo a discord link via PM. :)

Yep! No service. If she had somehow been able to get her phone to make a call anyway, she would have encountered a bunch of static sound!

Yeah, Pebs is gonna notice something interesting about the key when I post. (for some reason, there's a big ol' ring standing up as if it was intended to be fished out!)

Gonna wait for a Dunk post before I continue with Pebs.

That's what I assumed.

@Vertigo, you still with us?

Still here, always! Just a busy week. Will get a post up tomorrow.

@Vertigo Cool, no problem! I just wanted to check because I've had a lot of players ghost in the past :)

I getcha. No worries, I'm not the fastest poster by any stretch, but I won't disappear - and even though I'm slow, I'm loving this rp so far and want to see it to the end!

Ah dang, I forgot to tag!

@Typical , @Alamantus

There we go. I wanted to let Pebs finish her business before they change rooms. As for fitting stuff into his bag, this is where inventory management comes into play, right? His bag is all maxed out on slots, but there should be some room in his pockets if I understood correctly.

Hopefully I didn't miss anything, let me know if I did!

Correctomundo! And you can shift things around back and forth between your bag and pockets—a bag just extends your inventory space.

That post looks good to me!

I keep forgetting to tag, gah. But-! @alamantus, @typical. I had him unscrew the truck and then move on to attempt to do the same for the drain, but let me know if I should also roll for success on the truck and I'll edit accordingly! Also, let me know what to roll for the drain lid, if anything. I assume utility?

Edit: and then I tagged the wrong person bc I just tagged her in another thread... derp. Time to sleep for me.

Dang it, I forgot to tag my last post before I posted it. Pebs and Duncan do get the sense that there's more in the hallway, but it's just hard to see. @Typical @Vertigo
