[in the ever populated middle of Camp, there is a dunking booth. Inside the dunking booth, there is a young man that looks resigned to his fate. Above the dunking booth there is a sign that reads]

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, IORI JUNPEI!

[There is a hastily written sign below that one, that reads]

100% FREE!! TRY AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE!

((Wow,

*. . .what the hell is this*

((placeholderish thing, will return in a few hours))

[ineedbothhands]

[IT IS THE CRUELEST OF TORTURES]

[myblackwand]

*it's weird is what it is*

...you seem in some distress, Junpei.

[ineedbothhands]

Oh, hey man. Just a little.

[myblackwand]

Camp, I perceive. Well, have you any idea how one might get you out of it?

[ineedbothhands]

Nope. I really hope it's not a 'get dunked 100 times' kinda thing...

[myblackwand]

I should certainly hope not, in this weather! But I perceive that if this lever were stopped from moving...

*so what happens if I try to wedge a dagger in the mechanism?*

[ineedbothhands]

[sticking it behind the target will cause the seat to wobble ominously. Anywhere else will do nothing]

[myblackwand]

*going to stop meddling with that, then. How high is the seat?*

...ah, camp. Well, the most direct method seems to have been guarded against, but there are others.

[ineedbothhands]

[about 7 feet off the ground, above 6 feet of water, with an 8 foot cage]

I already tried climbing out, but there was some sort of barrier there.

[myblackwand]

*so what happens if I try to freeze the water solid?*

I had imagined so; at the moment, I am investigating methods of making the fall less unpleasant, since extracting you would seem to require more painstaking work.

[ineedbothhands]

[it will cause me to crack my ass on the ice when someone dunks me and then flail about trying to get back up :(]

Well...Warren heated the water up so it's not too bad. [...sigh] You know, comparatively, anyway.

[myblackwand]

*that would probably not be much better than the freezing water, huh?*

Comparatively, certainly. I wonder, though, whether it would be possible to leave the contraption if the water were frozen to ice -- or, failing that, whether it might not burst the container and free you that way.

[ineedbothhands]

[probably not, no]

--I dunno. I guess it's possible. At this point, I'll try anything, man.

[myblackwand]

Well, if you agree, then it is worth investigating.

*so we're going to freeze the water solid and see if the tub explodes. And to try to grab you kinetically if you fall.*

*wondering the same thing*
