*Max makes his way to the QM store and stood outside the door*
So… what exactly is the plan with the Tide Pods in the bucket? Are you going to test how quickly the outer film dissolves, or if it goes into osmosis?
Eh, I was just gonna see if it was weird with lake water or not, but that other stuff’s pretty cool too, I guess. *He turns the door handle* He actually left it unlocked this time.. *he kicks the door open but not too harshly*
Oh – do you think the lake water might do something interesting to it? I think that’s a great thing to ex – OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT???
*there’s an upside down crucifix within view of the door and nailed to it is a chicken teddy bear. As in… a teddy made out of chicken that looked like it belonged in a freezer. Bits of dark fur stuck out of the seams and a dark liquid looked to be seeping out. Was that blood? It was really watered down though… some kind of slime?*
WHAT THE FUCK?!
*without really thinking Carlos snaps his hands down to cover Max’s eyes and quickly backed them out, slamming the door shut*
What… what?? What the hell…??
*who just had some gross-ass effigy in their storehouse??*
……I don’t know what I expected.
What was that? No, what the hell was that?? Why did he have that?? Oh God – why is he near children????????
*Max shrugged* The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma.
Alright. Let’s try this again. *Max grabed a stick from the side of the QMS (quartermaster store) and reaches to turn the door handle*
What? No – why are you going to go in there again? Max, what if he has something dangerous in there? *Dammit – he left his danger meter a the camp site!*
Why d’you think I grabbed a stick? Now, c’mon. I can whack it out the window and we won’t have to see it again. We can get the bucket and go.
No – no, no, no, Max, let’s not. This is clearly a red zone and we should probably think of something else.
But- fiiiiine. *he tosses the stick back onto the ground* There’s probably one in the mess hall maybe. I dunno this place is cheap.
*sighs in relief* Okay… let’s go check. If not, I can invent one. O-or, something like it, I mean.
Making one will take longer than finding one. *he makes his way to the mess hall which was connected with the QMS. He tries to pull open the doors but they won’t budge* dammit.
Lemme try. *he takes the handle and turns it, pushing in*. Doors from the outside almost always open inwards.
…I knew that.
*smiles at Max as he steps inside* So… what sort of stuff do you think we can find in here? An empty food bucket, maybe?
There should be some sort of pot or something in the kitchen. Maybe a mop bucket too. Whatever comes first.
Ah, a pot. That could work. Good thinking. We’ll of course be sure to wash it thoroughly after we’re done with it.
Would we need to? I mean we are putting cleaning stuff in it. *He dug around in the kitchen area*
Yeah but, we probably shouldn’t be letting any part of a tide pod get into people’s mouths. Let alone the lake water. *He looks around in the shelves that Max can’t quite reach*
You’re probably right. But it’s not like one of us hasn’t eaten podscum before.. hey I think I found something.
Yeah? *looks down at Max to see*
*he pulls out a large pot, resulting in multiple pots and pans crashing down in front of him* ,,yikes.
Ah – Jesus! Max, are you hurt? *he goes over to start piling the impliments away from Max*
