"Oh boy. Lucien, do you have any idea what your power does yet."

"I think I can tag people and do something transportey to them? I can also use my normal power in dungeons without worrying about property damage."

"Make sure you know where the prisoners are first, but yeah. Try your esper power on me real quick?"

Lucien taps her, and then transports her to him through the kitchen table.

She winds up in his lap. "Okay, useful for evacuating a dungeon but with any luck this one people'll be able to walk out of. Where's Morton Towers?"

Permalink

"Downtown Brockton, similar drive back - think Transit would pick us up?"

Permalink

"Let's find out." She texts Rete. "He'll be here in five."

Permalink

"If you two finish up early enough you are both welcome to come back and spend the night here. Or return tomorrow if that works better."

Permalink

"Thanks."

Lucien takes the opportunity to hug his parents goodbye.

"Do I need some kind of makeshift mask situation?"

Permalink

"Oh, fair point, I have my old back-up one on me but not my usual one."

They can do some hurried arts and crafts about this.

Hurried arts-and-crafts later they can go meet Transit out front to get a ride to the Towers.

A tall figure in a terrifying spider silk costume meets them outside.

"Dungeon's a maze of smooth tunnels full of rolling slime spheres - some of them have people who seem to be breathing fine for now. Some of the others are acid and I can't tell if those have people. We have some people who know first aid and a doctor but no proper medical team yet."

Permalink

"Ugh, my power's not good for getting people out of slime spheres at all. It's normal that they're not suffocating, but they might not be doing it by breathing, dungeons can keep people alive when they wouldn't normally be."

Permalink

"I can maybe do slime spheres? Or at least make it easy to reach in if that's fine."

Permalink

"They're still breathing in and out, and there's oxygen in the spheres and not just CO2."

Permalink

"It still might be helping them survive, if there's slime in their lungs."

Permalink

"Nothing in their throats but might be in their lungs I can't tell. Should we be armed?"

Permalink

"Yes, I don't know if bullets will bother slimes but there could be more than one kind of monster."

Permalink

Then they can briskly walk down the hall and into the apartment to the left, which is open on account of the door being broken down by a passing slime, and then there's a key in the sock drawer and a gun safe in the closet.

Permalink

"I don't actually know how to use a gun personally and this is no time for me to learn."

Permalink

"Tunnel Teen? Have you picked a better name yet."

Permalink

"Vallis. I can shoot a tazer and a ray gun and in theory I know how a gun works. I don't want to fire a gun near people but if I get a very clear shot I'm probably non-zero useful with it."

Permalink

Vallis can get a handgun and Skitter will take one and ammo for them both.

Permalink

May will grab a knife.
