The telephone in the principal's office is ringing.

OOC

✽ The temperature inside the principal's office is still sub-zero, so please take note before sending easily frozen characters inside. I'll have to delete the non- part of the post title, then.
✽ The post may be used to ICly discuss whether to answer the phone in the first place, and if so, who to send. Mod responses will happen if/when the phone is answered.

Wouldn't it be stone cold by now, anyway?

[Wait he's getting sucked into this scenario. Help.]

Right, no GPS... but it's not like we know where we are either.

[I think I maybe know the city because of a lore thread I read once, but Shin doesn't.]

[samuraiwomen]

Cold pizza is good.

[ YTTD's having riveting conversations today. ]

There's also a big forest! You don't want to get lost in that, or a fox might steal your pizza.

[notsosou]

It's only good if you microwave it.

[He won't die on this hill, but he'll stand on it. This is what happens when neither of them have had breakfast yet, debate battles about food.]

Besides, we don't know how b- hang on.

[He hears Komaeda's PDA dinging and spots Ranger texting, something's up. He gets out his own PDA and starts translating the ciphers, tilting the screen so Sara can see with a raised eyebrows look.]

[samuraiwomen]

If you microwave it the crust gets soggy.

[ Always use a toaster oven! ]

Er...so are we going on another mission to the woods? Or should someone go wait by the gate in case one of these "saviors" shows up?

ITS HERE

[goodfaiths]

[ At some point in the middle of this adventure, there's someone violently banging on the window near the Principal's Office. There's some incoherent yelling, something something "Please help!!", and anyone who cares to peek will find a poor boy who's trying to save himself from getting frostbite and

a box of pizza.

Let him in. Let him in for the pizza, if nothing else. ]

ricchan!!!

[samuraiwomen]

[ Turns.

See's pizza guy. ]

Oh...huh!!!! My savior!?

[ Screw Shin and his ciphers that don't make sense she's going to unlock the window and shove it open. ]

Guys! Pizza's here!

THE HALLOWED PIZZA

[notsosou]

That's better than way too crunchy and dry. Anyway, Add was talking about sending something over... are you volunteering to go wait, Sara?

[Because he isn't he's cold enough as it is...

...What's that banging, it sounds like it's coming from outside the faculty office?? Who's even outside in this weather also Sara where are you going geez shut the window wait hang on what the-

...

Okay he's actually going to come up next to Sara in that half slow way you see in movies to show someone is walking towards something they can't quite believe, and look out the window himself despite the sudden increase in chill bc he needs to be sure he isn't hallucinating again.]

...

...you need to follow the wall either way until you get to one of the doors!

[It does not occur to Shin to pull him through the window because this is a physical impossibility for him.]

[goodfaiths]

[ He can kind of hear what's being said through the window, and he gestures towards the walls with his hands and the pizza box -- towards where the entrance is -- and makes an "X" with his hands. ]

It's locked!

[ It's locked for Riku specifically, apparently?? He's so lost and he's cold with equally cold pizza. ]

[samuraiwomen]

Fufu...Sou, its a classic tale. A random unordered pizza...and a locked door!

[ You can tell she's excited because she keeps pointing empathetically and saying things that don't make sense. The window is in fact, open now so Riku can hear all the insane things she's shouting. ]

We need to...no...we must! We must help this poor soul enter! He's an angel from god!

[deductivedance]

[ If Riku is paying attention to any of his surroundings at all, he might hear a rustling coming from a tree nearby. In fact, when he turns to look, he'll see a man in brown, hanging upside down from a branch on the tree.

Not like an angel from God, but maybe like some sort of weird vampire bat? Yeah. ]

Terribly sorry to drop in on you like this, dear fellow, but it seems you have run into a spot of trouble! Fear not, for I - Herlock Sholmes - might be able to assist in this matter!

...However, I might ask for a small fee of one slice of that circular pie in return.

[goodfaiths]

[ This is. Unexpected. Riku lets out a "Ah-!" when Herlock hangs down, and he snaps around to face the older man, pizza box still in tact, still in his hands. He's cold, talking through chattering teeth: ]

Y-yeah, you can take as much as you want! I -- I just need to get inside, please --

[ He coughs dryly. ]

I-I don't even know how I got this thing, but I think y-you'll need an oven to warm it up!

[notsosou]

A classic tale in what??

[What have you been watching???

Anyway there's a guy in a tree now this is officially Too Much he's just going to ignore that and walk away, but not before calling back down to Riku.]

H-hang on, I'll go unlock the doors!

[He is now heading to the doors and I have no idea if the front one will unlock (maybe since he's a teacher he'll count?) but the courtyard one should otherwise how all did they get in.]

[samuraiwomen]

A classic tale! Go! Go!

[ She's not going to go with him to the exit, thats what Sou is for, and Sara would much rather heckle. She leans out the window and points at Herlock. ]

And you! If you want pizza, you come inside too! Don't eat outdoors when its cold!

By the way, pizza guy! What flavor of pizza is it?

[deductivedance]

Of course! I wouldn't dream of eating it in this bitter chill!

[ He calls to Sara before turning his attention back to Riku. ] Now- it's quite a simple answer, really!

[ And he promptly flips down from the tree and begins to stride over towards the poor boy, before picking him up with ease and heading closer to the window. ]

As the old saying goes: When God closes every door, simply find the nearest window!

[ And that's about as much warning as Sara gets before Herlock begins to carefully yeet Riku through the open window. ]

1/2

[goodfaiths]

[ help ]

[goodfaiths]

[ There he goes...soaring into the window...at least it's slightly warmer in here but Herlock's got a good throw, because the journey is swift even if he's screaming a little.

He's flying straight into Sara with the pizza box. Save the food if nothing else. It's the gift that keeps on giving, the touchdown of the game. ]

[ ^ Sound you make when you get a pizza and a guy thrown @ u

Luckily! She! Works! Out! Sara opens her arms, firmly grasping the pizza box and yanking it away from Riku in a sidestep that...let me check lints map yes...that lets Riku go right out the door towards where Komeada and Add are standing.

Touchdown.]

[notsosou]

[WHAT WAS THAT YELL AND CRASH okay he's coming back and poking his head around the corner of the hallway.]

[commences]

Who— What are y— aaacck..!

( ...

turning to the side, he doesn't have time to move until someone comes crashing right into him, causing him to fall down onto the ground with a loud thump. his pda goes flying up, a whole 360 spin that comes barreling down towards the back of riku — this one of those brick pdas so that bitch going to hurt once it connects to one of them.

...

...

with riku on top, komaeda is holding them in place.

yeah, get hit with that for him because komaeda's going to hide under some abs. )

[deductivedance]

[ It was supposed to be a careful yeet....... Herlock looks down at his hands. He doesn't know his own strength apparently. Years of boxing previously have paid off, it seems.

Anyways, he promptly hoists himself through the window as well! No need to stay out there. He'll close it as well just to be safe. ]

Terribly sorry for that throw, dear fellow! It appears that my strength precedes my very own knowledge!

[goodfaiths]

[ So much has happened that the pain from the PDA hitting him takes some time to register?? He hasn't even fully reacted to being yeeted yet, he's just kinda. There. Blinking.

And then the pain starts to settle in; his head starts throbbing, but that's also probably because there's so much to process, but he scrambles his way back onto his feet and frantically waves his hands around towards Komaeda. ]

S-sorry! I'm so sorry --

[ And then he turns towards Herlock: ]

y-you're so strong! That was amazing, even if it hurts!

[ ?????? ]

[samuraiwomen]

[ Eating the pizza while everyone is distracted. ]

[deductivedance]

[ Yeah no, he didn't hear what Riku said- he's eating a slice of pizza now too. ]

[notsosou]

[Gonna just take the other door into the faculty office and- hey!]

Are you two planning to share at all?

[commences]

( sets pda down. )

That's not how you're supposed to apologize, explain yourself.

( what the fuck! )
