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.

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]

Especially since Inaba just finished rearranging "reScue" into "Secure" a few minutes ago.

[She'll wait for him to finish before she picks the button back up.

...and she'll keep the protective gear on for now, just in case.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He'll let Karen handle that while he takes care of the storage of the chemicals - there's nobody but them, but it's them]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen will head back inside, then.]

[dereban]

... Oh, welcome back. Did you guys manage to fix the button?

[oceanicbutterfly]

We got it cleaned.

[Karen hesitates for a moment, then sighs and holds up the "iCannot" button before feeding it into the machine.]

It's probably "Contain."

[dereban]

... yeah that is probably contain. Let's put it in, then?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[She puts it in.]

It makes me wonder how they got like this. Who would need an "I cannot" button?

[Ignoring the fact that right now it describes her feelings pretty well.]

[foundationmods]

[Gonna make it spell Contain, then?]

[dereban]

[Let us Contain this button, yes!]

[foundationmods]

[ i Cannot turns into... C ontain. She has one more step to go before it's done. ]

[dereban]

[Use the 'cut' button on the space between the C and o?]

[foundationmods]

[ that'll do it! Dun dun duuuuun! They now have Contain ]

[sageking]

...

[ Well, he's got nothing else to say here because he's friendly like that, but he did go back inside of that door. ]
