no doors? i've got a door in mine, opposite this metal one.
[He stays by the metal door, listening to her voice travel. It's hard to tell where she is, especially over the...hm. That sounds kind of like water. Like standing near one of the small streams in Waterfall.]
down the...?
[He takes a step to the side and his slipper splashes into a small puddle. It's pitch black, but monsters have always been able to see in the dark. There's water pouring out of spigots along all three walls, trickling down in what appears to be a slow fall. There's several dozen spigots though, all dumping water at the same rate. The whole floor is already wet.]
[He steps back to the metal door.]
yeah, uh. i've got water here. lot of it.
[He looks around for any drains or vents or anything. The floor is solid, there isn't so much as a crack in any of the walls. The room is...well, it's sealed.]
[Ah. Okay. So that's what this is about.]
[Some event.]
[He runs a few quick calculations in his head.]
max. don't panic, but i think these rooms are sealed. they're gonna start filling up with water. we've got about five minutes to think of a way out.
[He'll be fine. This is more an annoyance than a threat. He goes over to the door behind him, just to test the handle. It turns easily. Unlocked. The solution is simple--just walk out the door. Even if he didn't, he could literally just sit here and wait the event out. He doesn't need to breathe, after all.]
[But Max. Humans need to breathe. He could leave, he could leave so easily, but he'd be condemning her to a slow, terrifying, agonizing death.]
[He's probably done that sort of thing a million times back home with the kid, but he's...he's trying to change here, right? He can't just do that. Right?]
[He goes back to the metal door separating and presses a hand to it. There's about an inch of water on the floor now.]
we're gonna get outta here, okay? just have to think of a solution.
