>Mimi: Bash the door of the temple down.
"Who knocks anymore?"
You kick repeatedly at the doors of the temple, expecting them to crash to the floor. They do not.
"HeH."
>CR: Open the doors if Mimi doesn't break the door.
After letting Mimi flail at the door for a few minutes, you pull on one of the huge handles, pulling the door open.
Fishsprite: The temperature in the tank rose 7 degrees. You should find a way to bring it down before any of the others go belly up.
Claire: ha ha ha this is so weird
Claire: first the turtles and now you talking
Claire: anyway let's get to the point: i shouldn't use the ice, that might be a bit sudden for them...
Claire: i guess i could leave the lights and pump off, those might be generating heat
Claire: or i could put a fan over the water
Claire: got any ideas?
Fishsprite: The pump does generate heat, but it's too important to turn off. I think leaving the lights off would be best.
Fishsprite: Why isn't your server building your house? Do you know?
RL: Oh gosh, this is so sappy, you can't believe you're actually doing this. Hug him.
You figure you've exhausted your other worthwhile option, so you bite the bullet and give the crazed psychopath a hug. He doesn't return it, just stands there, growling a bit. Then, the growling gives way to intermittent sniffles, then sobs, and soon he's crying his eyes out on your shoulder. God this kid is a mess.
He just keeps crying and crying until he eventually falls asleep.
>RA: Breathe a sigh of relief.You... You did it! All the players are still alive! YES!
Of course, from this point out, you don't have much, if any knowledge of what will come next, or if they'll survive it. But, if nothing else, you've finally found the solution to this particular tragedy.
