Fifth Switch

[moonpiercedrill]

Oi! OI!

[And one of the closets is rattling and shaking and there's the sound of fists banging against the door.]

Let me out! I'm STUCK!

[Sounds like Gen got tossed into a closet and it got jammed shut. And he's without his Driver to bust out.]

This isn't funny! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

[You may find that door you're beating suddenly in a different position, that is to say, open. If you were leaning in on it, you might find yourself falling, and Shoutaro's there to hold the door for you.]

[moonpiercedrill]

Let me--AUGH!

[And one Rider faceplanting coming up!]

[leftjoker]

[Have a half-a-Rider leaning over you.]

You okay, Gentarou-kun?

[moonpiercedrill]

...yeah...

Ow.

[aheartstrength]

Sorry, Gentarou! I had to figure out someway to make sure you guys were safe!

[ Now, Hoshi is going to help him out of the closet. ]

[moonpiercedrill]

I think it worked too well! It's stuck!

[Or, he's turning it wrong.]

[aheartstrength]

Oi, oi - stop turning the knob and let me turn it!

[ Because she can clearly see that the both of them turning it at the same time isn't conducive. ]

[moonpiercedrill]

O-Okay, okay! Sheesh!

[And he's going to let go right now!]

[What's this? Our resident LYNX pilot walking past an apparently talking closet! He raises an eyebrow for a second, still looking in the direction he was headed...]

Why... exactly would I want to help someone who locked themselves in a closet?

[moonpiercedrill]

Mmph. I didn't lock myself in there! I don't even know HOW I got in there! One minute I was perfectly fine, the next I pass out and I wake up in here!

And I don't have my Driver so I can't bust out!

[howling_alone]

It's a closet. How can you not get out of a closet?

[Alexei just sighs and unlocks the closet.]

Swear... you Riders are the quirkiest of people...

[moonpiercedrill]

Not my fault it decided to get stuck...! I don't even know who tossed me in here!

[chozo_girl]

You realize the lock's mechanism is on the inside. You only have to move the slider up.

[The voice that comes from outside is as lacking in inflexion as ever. You could be a little more understanding of a poor panicking Gentarou, Samus]

[moonpiercedrill]

...what? Really? Uh, where? It's... kinda dark.

[And he's gonna start slapping the door for where it is.]

[chozo_girl]

[Samus shifts imperciptibly. Someone more socialized would probably have sighed]

Just stay put for a second. I will open it.

[She does so... and it turns out it's stuck. The mechanism probably bent with all those hits]

It is stuck. Stay still and press yourself against the other side of the inner area.

[moonpiercedrill]

...Uh... okay?

[What's Samus gonna do and is it going to hurt? Either way, Gen's gonna listen to those instructions!]

[mecha_eihwaz]

Eh? Why are you inside that thing, Mr Fourze? Did a game of hide and seek go horribly wrong?

[moonpiercedrill]

No... one minute I was just minding my own business, then I got tired... fell asleep... then ended up in here.

...

Did I sleepwalk?

[mecha_eihwaz]

Oh no, I think someone put you there when you were asleep. White Chalice was attacked by poison gas, after all.

...But don't worry, it's all gone now!

[moonpiercedrill]

Poison gas?! Geh... is everyone else alright?

[Dammit! If he had known...!]
