[ Yeah, this is definitely where the tail and his face don't line up at all. Panther's face will be almost emotionless as he processes all of the information and reads the note left to him. It's a damn good luck that he caught the butterflies previously.

But his tail is definitely twitching agitated. No, he's not pleased to learn this at all and he's without a doubt far more anxious about what's happening. Roc helped him when he was in this situation—now he really had to kick it up. ]

Thanks for this Coyote. [ No where the fuck is that door? ]

[ He's going to take this moment, before actually approaching the door to put a hand on Panther's shoulder. ]

We'll help her and we'll save her. There are five other pairs working here. I didn't know everyone, but Vash, Caracal, Star... They're also here to help.

[ He won't list every last person he knew here, but those are some top tier people he knows will work hard.

But then he'll nod at the door and try to opened it. ]

Locked. Of course.

We damn well better.

[ Hearing how Vash, Wolfwood, and Eveningstar being in here makes him feel a little at least but at the same time—how much has Eveningstar gone through lately? The poor girl.

And...well. Eyeing the door and the surroundings. There's got to be something, right? ]

Seems like this won't be like our picnic from earlier.

[ the locks are definitely not budging, no matter how you try to force them ]

Panther. We will.

Everyone saved Star and you've kept her safe when you've been able to. [ He doesn't forget that Panther did die for her, even if he ended up killing her in his heart, but. ]

I'll do whatever it takes to help Roc.

[ But he's going to be not just idly talking at this time and starting to look around. ]

It might be best not to try forcing it or breaking the doors. You don't want to damage her. There's gotta be something nearby to let us in.

[ Another moment where his semi-stoic expression fails him when his tail goes from agitated to a more relaxed sway. Ah, yes, hearing Coyote wanting to help Roc to the fullest is good for the mood, without a doubt. ]

Yeah, the last thing I want to do is hurt her. [ Nope, not being idle either and the mention of forcing things open definitely makes him reconsider any use of his abilities. ]

Are there are open windows?

[ now that you're looking around, you can see there are a number of tall trees in the area, some quite close to the building, and a series of slim, rectangular windows at the top of the building, longer than they are tall it's impossible to tell if they're open or not from this angle, though]

[ Moments like this is where Coyote is paying attention to that tail of Panther's and sorry, but yeah. It makes him calm down a bit, too. For various reasons. ]

Looks like one or both of us is going to have to climb to check it out. Unless you've got something up your sleeve that might work for that?

I have a few tricks, but no hurting her right?

[ Eyeing the trees. ]

Which means that the question should be, who is the better climber between the two of us.

[ are you two really going to climb the tree? you feel like... maybe... you don't have to climb... didn't baby roc get up somewhere very high? a rooftop? do you really think she climbed up there? ]

[ Hey, Coyote doesn't know about the whole leaping at great heights thing, he was a little distracted from that fact during the Poltergeist!Star combat, okay? ]

I don't make it much of a habit of climbing back home. But...

[ LOOK, sometimes I forgot Coyote has a grappling hook he takes everywhere with him. But he'll be patting it now. ]

I could probably make my way up the trees with this.

[ We've done it once, why not make it work again? And this time they're even down one person. And he would suggest going through the window directly with it, but, you know, doesn't want to break a window open if it's not actually open. ]

I can't believe you still have that.

[ Yes, Panther is scorning a grappling hook that just magically seems to reappear whenever it seems to be most relevant and convenient. Why do you carry it with you everywhere and whipping it out only so often??

Insert dick jokes here. ]

Whatever, if we have it might as well use it.

Of course I still have it.

[ And he's going to launch it up into one of those trees near the windows. ]

Coming?

[ Hold on tight sweetheart. ]

[ insert. dick jokes. well played, panther. well played.

you grapple up successfully into one of the trees. Here you can see that all of the side windows are, unfortunately closed.

however you can see something funny on the roof. Is that... a hole? ]

[ Hiyori don't take these dick jokes to heart tho. Please.

And when he sees the hole in the roof....well. Sorry Coyote, Panther here is going to start swinging them over towards the hole. Not even going to warn him. ]

[ Panther, are you actually the corruption here??

But he's surprised by that, but keeps his grip. If you kill us in here... ]

[ SHHHH....

Also, insert bad Titanic "never let go" meme here or something. ]

We'll jump on three. [ Given if they get close enough to land on the roof, of course. Annnd if they don't, Panther's got powers as backup. ]

[ in b4 hiyori comes out of this game with the urge to call dicks 'grappling hooks'

believe it or not, you feel like you can do this. YOU GOT THIS!! ]

[ Yeah, totally feeling pumped for this. He'll let Panther do the countdown since it's his crazy idea, but he feels good about it. ]

[ PANTHER DID NOTHING WRONG!!! ]

One... Two...

[ Time to let go and do this thing— ]

Three!

[ LEAP OF FAITH TIME. ]

[ YOU JUMP! and believe it or not, you absolutely make it, with a lot of room to spare. you feel a rush of adrenaline and pleasure as you go soaring across the open air--this if fun.

for all the bad things that come with this 'astral projection' stuff, it does have its perks... ]

[ Unexpected... that was quite the rush as he lands that. ]

Did you have any idea about this ability?

[ That...really was fun. Not that he'll show it anywhere besides his tail which has perked up. ]

No, I had no idea. Looks like there's more to this stuff than I figured. [ Looking for that hole. ]

Why in the world would there be a hold on top of a roof?

[ well, as you approach, you'll find it's less a hole and more a skylight. and someone's left it open! ]
