[log] Disappear [closed]

[thewarningafter]

Characters: Stephen, Peter, Bucky, and Steph
Location: The area that once contained building 279
Date: Morning 265
Summary: This building is pining for the fjords
Warnings: Mass confusion

[279: THIS BUILDING DOES NOT EXIST.

This looks like any place in Norfinbury that doesn't have anything there: just empty snow and rubble. When a person tries to traverse it, they will realize that they've gone around the area instead of through it after they have gone around.]

Comments

[thewarningafter]

I'd say the key word in that question is 'supposed to.'

[spoileralert]

Fair. But still.

[ She just wants to blow something up, is that really so much to ask? ]

[thewarningafter]

...The maintenance tunnels come up underneath it.

[spoileralert]

So? What, you think I have supplies for a big enough bomb to blow up more than half a wall?

[thewarningafter]

So if you got underneath it you could bomb the trap door.

[His hands are shaking worse as he speaks, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge it.]

[spoileralert]

Didn't Kunsel and them try that already? The trap doors are reinforced.

[thewarningafter]

From above, yeah.

[spoileralert]

[ She rubs her head tiredly. ]

I have places to be, I don't have time to run around looking for a way in from underneath. I just stopped by to see if it was really gone. Mission accomplished.

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen shakes his head, getting a little annoyed now.]

You're the one who wanted to blow something up.

[spoileralert]

I have a short attention span and some anger issues.

[thewarningafter]

I'm getting that.

[He pauses, breathing in and then out slowly. He wants to ask her to stay with him -- can't bear the thought of needing to make conversation, but can't stomach being alone, either. The former wins out.]

I've got someone I need to meet. Couple of someones.

[spoileralert]

Me too.

[ Rubs her temple, trying and failing to stave off a headache. She probably should have eaten breakfast. ]

Be careful out there.

[thewarningafter]

Yeah.

Yeah, you too.

[He's reluctant to go even though he's the one who made the excuse. Stephen looks around one last time, puffing out a breath visible in the cold air, and turns to trudge away north.]
