Status: Active






Cheryl couldn't quite remember falling asleep. Last she remembered, she had been sitting vigil outside of the theater because she hadn't been able, or wanted, to fall asleep. She had just intended to watch the sun finish rising before going inside and checking on things...

...and now here she was, awake and sitting up on a small wooden bench in the middle of a space too small to even be called a room. Her breathing was sharp and panicked as she gripped the edge of the bench with white knuckled fingers and her eyes stared widely at the only other bit of furniture in the room - another bench on which laid the familiar form of Bob. She watched the prone man for a long moment, silently praying that his chest would rise and fall with regular breathing and dreading the second when she'd have to come to terms with the fact that she was alone in this cell with a dead man.

A passing moment killed that fear when it became clear that Bob was breathing slowly and steadily and Cheryl was forced to again face the fact that the fading and reassertion of reality hadn't taken from a nightmare to a better place; rather, it seemed that it had thrown her, and Bob, directly into the heart of something even less comforting.

"Fuck," Cheryl muttered under her breath. She forced her body into motion, standing from her bench and edging to the nearest wall. A slightly unsteady hand began to search the smooth surface for any hint of the flaw or clue that would lead to whatever puzzle could free them from this situation.

The cig was passing away quickly. The burning rim was rapidly approaching the filter and Bob felt a pang of desperation. He had gone that first day with no smokes and he couldn't help but have felt like someone had cut off his left arm. Smoking was like a tic, or maybe a reflex. Whatever it was, he needed to do it.

Following her eyes he noted the water drop as it slid down the wall. Was it wrong that he fucking considered licking the fucking wall at this point? Motioning with his finger and making the universal sign for crazy, Bob then pointed to the water's trail and then to his tongue and made the crazy motion once again. Yes, he was fucking acknowledging the fucking insanity of licking the fucking wall; but, whatever. He was stuck in a fucking cell with Cheryl - crazy was understandable.

In any other situation, Cheryl would have likely considered licking a wall, any wall, to be a sign of either severe emotional and/or behavioral problems or the result of being on some very strong drug; however, in this situation it seemed to be the only possible way of being able to drink the water and so it was reasonable - or, at least, as reasonable as anything was going to get.

"I won't tell anyone if you don't," Cheryl snickered and shrugged slightly. She continued to watch the rather slow progress of the water but she soon shrugged mentally; the wall looked a thousand times more normal than others she had seen in her travels and it was pretty unlikely that the water was really tainted in anyway - right?

It took her only a second to decide that she didn't want to have to place the responsibility of testing the purity of the water, or the current level of her own paranoia, on Bob and so she did what seemed the most rational thing; kneeling on the bench, she leaned in until she was close enough to lick the wall and get a bit of water on her tongue. The taste caused her to grimace slightly but it seemed to be alright; if nothing else, it did soothe the uncomfortable dryness of her throat.

"Well, that's one more thing I swore I'd never do gone down the drain," Cheryl shifted position so that she was sitting on the back of the bench and shook her head.

Bob watched as Cheryl stood up, pressed herself against the wall, and her head moved in a way that indicated (much to Bob's inner torment) that she was fucking licking the wall.

Bob's jaw dropped. He hadn't expected her to do that. When she sat down and proclaimed this to be one more thing she swore she'd never do he couldn't help but give her a look that screamed, you are fucking insane.

It had taken some time but exhaustion, thirst, and an impeding feeling of fucking annoyance was seeping into the back of Bob's head. What if they never fucking got out of here? What if he did have to take a shit? What if the water was really fucking bad and caused his fucking balls to shrink? What if Cheryl was a fucking transvestite?

Standing and tensing Bob clenched his fists and looked at the fucking ceiling. "Let us the fuck out of here you sick fucks!" He screamed, chest heaving as he finished before sitting the fuck back down on the bench. He didn't feel particularly better, though perhaps less fucking scatterbrained.

How long could he hold out before he had to lick the wall? Well, the fucking scream was driving his endurance down a tick.

Cheryl could easily understand the unspoken words in the glance offered her but she returned it flatly, almost dully. She would certainly be among the first to admit that licking a wall was pretty damn weird but it was almost nothing compared to some of the weird, messed up shit she had been exposed to recently. The fact that her own reality had shifted to something so different from the accepted norm worried her but Cheryl hid this behind an attempted grin. "Sorry. I didn't mean to freak you out or anything. I think this whole fucked up situation's starting to get to me."

Cheryl was more than a little bit surprised when the guy who hadn't said more than a dozen words to her suddenly stood up at started screaming at the ceiling but she couldn't help but agree with what he was saying; it was just too bad that the idea of release seemed to be removed from the current reality.

"I didn't think you had it in you," she laughed faintly. "Though I don't think it's going to do anything; even if they heard us, there's no way in fuck that they're going to let us out that easy."

Cheryl stared pensively up at the ceiling for a long moment but there was little that could be told from a distance. Bracing herself with one hand against the wall, she carefully moved to stand on the narrow back of the bench, but it really wasn't all that much better; she still wasn't close enough to be able to get a good look at the ceiling, let alone to be able to actually do anything to it.

At least Cheryl knew what she had just did was fucking weird.

Shrugging Bob returned back to his former self, reserved and shut in, at least verbally anyway. It didn't really make him feel better to scream at nothing anyway.

Watching what she was up to Bob climbed up on the bench beside her. Knitting his fingers he held out his up turned palms, offering a boost. Hell, she could try and stand on his fucking shoulders if she wanted to. One time Jay had tried that shit in a fucking scheme to break into Mooby's and fucking TP Dante's office - Jay had lost his balance and landed on his ass and shit; but, something told Bob that Cheryl might be better at this shit than Jay.

"Good thinking," Cheryl nodded, once she caught the gist of what Bob was miming. Still, before acting on his suggestion, she quickly pulled off her boots and threw them to the side. Satisfied that socked feet would be a bit less harsh on his hands and shoulders, she continued to use one hand braced against the wall for support as she stepped first onto the knitted support of his hands and then, when it seemed that she still wasn't tall enough to reach, she moved to stand on his shoulders.

"Let me know if I get too heavy or this is too painful," she demanded, moving her head to glance down at him. Finding it a bit disconcerting to keep looking down, Cheryl returned her attention to the ceiling and she found that, if she stretched up onto her tiptoes, she was just close enough to push up against the ceiling. Unfortunately, it became clear only a moment later that pushing up wasn't doing much good and so she started to beat against it with her closed fists. "Come. On. You. Fucking. Bastard. I'm not giving up until we're out of here."

Bob felt like one of those fucking Chinese acrobats with the fucking chairs and shit piled up on his fucking shoulders. She was supposed to start jumping around and some shit soon, right? And fucking piling up chairs and fucking little kids, right? The more Bob thought the more he started to fucking go kind of zen - his mind in another place. Well, that was until she started fucking screaming at the fucking ceiling.

'Fuck yeah!' he fucking nodded affirmatively. She was fucking right. These assholes needed to let them the fuck out. Bob didn't mind so much being fucking stuck in a glass enclosed fucking town - but in a fucking cell? Maybe the way out was really in the fucking floor? Maybe it wasn't the fucking ceiling.

Looking down, Bob tried to spy any fucking cracks and shit. No dice - nothing on the floor except the scrapes they'd made with the fucking benches.

Fuck.

Pounding on the ceiling did nothing. Pushing up against the ceiling did nothing. Screaming apparently only made the screamer horse and filled the small cell with unpleasant echoes. Absolutely nothing Cheryl was doing seemed to make even the smallest impact on her surroundings - and that just pissed her off to no end.

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," she whispered under her breath. Finding that beating on the ceiling was doing nothing, she stated to trace her fingertips over the surface in search of some small indent or catch that might give her a clue as to what could be done. "I know you open so why don't you just do it already..."

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There was no catch or device to be found in any of the area she could reach and Cheryl had the strong impression that the rest of the ceiling was just as featureless. Sighing, she let her arms fall idle to her sides. "Fuck. I'm getting the idea that this isn't getting us anywhere."

Bob was starting to wonder if this shit was nothing but a bad fucking dream because his shoulders had already fucking started to go numb and his brain had fucking shut off and his mouth felt really fucking dry. Fuck dry mouth was uncomfortable and you were never fucking uncomfortable in dreams.

"Fuck," he breathed again. He wasn't so used to fucking talking so damned much - it was starting to make him think he was losing his marbles and some shit.

Bob had to restrain himself from looking up even though all he wanted to do was give Cheryl the look of 'you have to be fucking kidding me.' Tapping the top of her feet with his hands he signaled that it was probably about fucking time for her to get down and shit.

Cheryl nodded to the light tap on her feet and she quickly clambered down from her position on his shoulders. Muttering a few choice words under her breath, she returned to sullenly sitting on the back of the bench.

"I think I'm now officially out of ideas," she sighed. "There's nothing on the ceiling, nothing on the walls, and I doubt we'll find anything if we crawl around on the floor for the next hour. No catches, no indents, no mechanisms - not a damned thing." She laughed faintly, rather bitterly. "I'm used to puzzles but nothing this fucking vague. Unless those sick fucks are waiting for us to kill or fuck each other..."

Bob sat down on the bench, too, crossing his arms and feeling pretty fucking annoyed at the fact they were still fucking stuck in there. What the fuck? They'd tried screaming like morons and tried all the fucking genius methods of getting the fuck out. They'd tried fucking licking the damned wall.

'Kill or fuck each other,' she said, and Bob's interest picqued. He could fucking dream that the proper order of things was fuck then kill.

Waggling his brow Bob grooved a little bit in his seat. He had to entertain himself somehow since he seriously doubted they were going to fuck or some shit. Now what the fuck were they supposed to do? Take a fucking nap? Sing Kumbaya? Light a fire in the fucking cell? They could fucking light a fire - that would be some shit, wouldn't it?

Bob mimed rock, paper, scissors. If they were going to be fucking stuck for a while, they might as well fucking be entertained.

"Oh get down, get funky," Cheryl laughed as Bob started to groove in his seat. She briefly clapped out a beat in time with his movements but there was a slight lack of enthusiasm this time around. It was a bit hard, after all, to still be really enthusiastic about almost anything after being stuck in a confined space for - how the hell long had it been, anyway? Cheryl was starting to have a bit of trouble tracking time and that did worry her - just not as much as the thought that they might never find their way out worried her.

She broke off clapping long enough to stretch and to yawn, more of a way to try to get rid of some of the building tension than any real tiredness. Turning her attention back to Bob, she raised his eyebrows at his miming but she soon grinned and nodded. "Sure, why not? One, two, three - shoot!"
