THE FINAL MINGLE

[foundationmods]

Monday comes.

There's no one here. The Silence is....though you don't remember any other monsters, deep down inside of you, you know this is wrong.

Everything is open to you, and no one will complain. You can do whatever you want, now.

....somehow, it feels...awful.

Somehow, you know everything will come to an end...this week.

[Once Inaba is done messing with the buttons, Karen can help her eject the 'Secure' button.

There's still the goopy button that needs to be done, but it needs to be cleaned first.]

[sageking]

[ Coincidentally happened to be holding onto the 'for the tougher globs' and which was still visible on the cover...so he'll come over here while Sherlock did his chemistry thing. ]

It appears you've made some semblance of progress over here.

[oceanicbutterfly]

We seem to have found some kind of button editor. What's that?

[sageking]

Some type of strong chemical. I imagined we may have needed it due to that item you had which still needed to be cleared away.

[ So he supposed maybe they could use it. He'll show her the bottle with the label.

...Probably not usable in here, though, and they'd probably need to head out like Sherlock did. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

"For the tougher globs." It might as well just have a "use this on the button" label.

[She pulls out the button.]

We might as well try it right away. Since it starts with a lowercase letter, we'll probably have to come back here anyway.

[sageking]

Outside. Chemicals can have strong smells that can make it difficult for others. Not that I particularly care about the other mongrels in here but they'll complain and it'll be annoying.

[ He went to grab more protective gear for the both of them and headed outside where he will wait for Karen. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock is already outside setting up a safe little area]

[sageking]

[ Perfect! Let's head over there. \o/ ]

Good, it looks like you're almost finished setting up.

She has that button her and with this [ He'll hold up that tough chemical bottle ] I thought it'd be good to add to your little...chemistry lesson by making sure it was used on it.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Right, we can see if that alone would work, then up the strength if need be...

[oceanicbutterfly]

You can still make something stronger afterward if you'd like. We won't stop you.

[But for now, it's time to set the button down and put on some protective equipment.]

[sageking]

There's probably enough for you to go ahead and mix it with those other chemicals right now as we're gearing up, if you so desire.

[ He's not in his armor right now so he'll really need to put on some equipment. Which he'll do now ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Despite the child-like glee he shown earlier, when it came to actually working with the chemicals, he was quiet and professional.

With some care and steady hands - he pours out a vial of just the gunk remover, and then more solutions of various levels of concentration and corrosive power]

There we go, that should give us plenty to work with...

[oceanicbutterfly]

Do you think we should just... pour it on?

[It seems like a weird and possibly dangerous approach, but using a washcloth or something doesn't really seem like a viable option.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He triple checks, making sure none of the ingredients decompose or react to water]

Generally, that's the idea with the more caustic agents is to spray or pour on - and let it set before we wipe it off.

[And for that - that's what tongs are for]

[sageking]

[ Well at the very least an explosion did not occur here and all of them are still in one piece. ]

I imagine we won't have to wait too long for it to set, will we?

[improbablenotimpossible]

It shouldn't be more than a few minutes... so just set it on the ground and step back.

[Let's start with unadulterated gunk remover once it's on the ground]

[foundationmods]

[The gunk remover is put on it, and a good portion of the goop sloughs off.

However, there's still quite a bit left on the button that seems dried and encrusted on.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

For the only slightly tougher globs, apparently.

[Why did she expect any differently?]

We might as well try something stronger.

[sageking]

That we should.

[ Might as well nuke it at this point, as far as he was concerned. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

All right, time to cover your nose and mouth.

[Not nuking, but he'll start with a mild solution of the corrosive chemicals first, and slowly increase the ratios until they get results]

[foundationmods]

[Good call telling them to cover - the smoke it gives off is clearly black, as by the middle of it, all the gunk finally slides off.

What they're left with is....

'iCannot']

[improbablenotimpossible]

...

.....

Wait. That C - it's an anagram.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is...

[She makes sort of a "rearranging things with her finger" gesture.]

"Contain." Because of course it is.

[She cannot either, little button.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Likely...

[Time to carefully clean the button of any lingering chemicals, wouldn't want anyone to get burns holding it.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

They can also produce dangerous fumes, you realize.

[Karen heads out shortly afterward.]
