Tch. I'll be better once we're out of the mist.

Speaking of luck, Greenie~ Can you cast some on me for a moment? I have something I want to try, and there are long odds it will work...

[failsaver]

I can try?

[ trying..... ]

[ the jackalope closes his eyes and stills for a moment, using the black feather the Snake gave him that allows him to briefly piggyback, or jackalope-back, on the senses of the one the feather is placed on. since Blossom's body has her eyes closed and now is PROPERLY COVERED he can't see anything but he can hear Ceo's voice muffled in parts:

"Even if they survived they'll never figure out the password if I couldn't..."

Some shuffling, a clink of what might be the martini glass and more low muttering.

"....sibling complex. Preposterous..." the sound of scratching and things being shuffled away. Something about how even if it were possible...

"I'm gay." ]

[jerkalope]

[ The wolf hellbent on making sure you die or at least stay out of his fabulous hair is gay! Happy Pride!

[ ...........he almost forgot about that thing. ]

Oh..? Did you get anything?

[jerkalope]

[ shakes his head a little and blinks at Zenith like someone who just got a faceful of glitter ]

Uh... [clears throat! ]

There's a password or something on the book. Even Ceo doesn't know about it.

[failsaver]

[ with a headtilt ]

Were you Haze-skimming?

[ ... ]

Heh, guess there's no Haze here. Just Skimming.

[jerkalope]

I don't know about skimming. I was observing, a one time only ability.

[failsaver]

[ considers trying to explain.


nah ]

Close enough. A password, huh... okay, let's crack it.

[jerkalope]

Hmm, you have a safecracker's ear as well as a pickpocket's fingers?

[failsaver]

Nah, puzzles ain't my thing.

I just don't think he's very smart.

[jerkalope]

All the attention went into haircare.

But that doesn't mean the person who put safeguards on this book is an idiot. Especially if the crow means what I think it means...

[failsaver]

What's that?

[eonsadrift]

A password..? That's a strange way to describe a lock.

I suppose that explains why he didn't whine too much about trading it to us.

[jerkalope]

He can't open it, but that probably means we can't either. Whoever's got the muscles and isn't afraid of papercuts should try to force it open.

[eonsadrift]

Oh, great idea. Let's try to break into the book protected with what is clearly some kind of magic password by using brute force. That surely won't damage anything.

[jerkalope]

Hey, say the same thing over again but replace book with "crypt" and see where I'm coming from.

[eonsadrift]

Ah ah~. That was a snap decision made in the moment. This is pre-meditated. It's entirely different.

[jerkalope]

It is. Damaging a book would get an angry librarian after us. Damaging a corpse has an 8-13 jail sentence.

But fine, if you can't brute force it can you at least try to examine that crow engraving?

[psynchroneyes]

A password...?

I'll bet we definitely don't have it.

[jerkalope]

And how did you know about this book in the first place?

[psynchroneyes]

Ohhh, you know, finding these things out comes with being a detective.

[jerkalope]

No, really. So who told you about it?

[psynchroneyes]

Aw, not convincing enough, huh... From Red—it was part of the IOU we owed him.

[jerkalope]

You're telling me as part of the debt he gave you this information? So he wants the book then?
