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. ]
[ 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?
[ 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. ]
[ 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??
[ 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. ]
[ 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... ]
[ why not indeed? well. perhaps gravity? but as you're going to find out, you're in luck: super powers mean that for some reason you can land from heights (at least in certain situations) with little to no pain.
One inside, you find that the gym doesn't look like a high school gym at all. It looks like a wrestling arena, albeit an empty one, save for a teenage girl standing in front of the mat. On the wall to her left is a trophy cabinet, and beside that a strange red button<.b>. Next to the door you entered through, there's another door.
Of course, considering your entry point... you're in the middle of the mat already. ]
[ Are we supposed to wrestle up here? Roc, are you trying to tell us something??? But no, he's looking from the mat itself and going to the edge to lean over the edge to catch said girl's attention. ]

Are there are open windows?

Re: THE GYM
[ Eyeing the trees. ]
Which means that the question should be, who is the better climber between the two of us.

Insert dick jokes here. ]
Whatever, if we have it might as well use it.
Re: THE GYM
[ And he's going to launch it up into one of those trees near the windows. ]
Coming?
[ Hold on tight sweetheart. ]
Re: THE GYM
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? ]
Re: THE GYM

Re: THE GYM
But he's surprised by that, but keeps his grip. If you kill us in here... ]
Re: THE GYM
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. ]
Re: THE GYM
believe it or not, you feel like you can do this. YOU GOT THIS!! ]
Re: THE GYM
Re: THE GYM
One... Two...
[ Time to let go and do this thing— ]
Three!

Re: THE GYM
Did you have any idea about this ability?
Re: THE GYM
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?
Re: THE GYM
Re: THE GYM
[ Not going to protest it. Shall we, then? ]
Re: THE GYM
Guess so.
[ Jumping down the skylight because, well, why not? ]
