"Oh dear. What a troubling predicament." Lavender utters, unsure of how exactly to respond to what is happening. "Hm. Well, if it's going to cause so much trouble, could we perhaps simply leave the chair behind? As Star Citizens we could maybe teach Miss Takata how to walk again. I had to learn how to walk too! Besides, she seems to be doing fine just now."

Bennett turns back to face Brandy. "Erhm... I was thinking that because of your unique... Situation? That you'd be the worst for the job. Though I suppose I know better than doubting you... Don't screw it up now, yeah?" Bennett flashes Brandy a smile.

Bennett then turns to the other side of the bridge, and prepares to shout. "How th'hell can you be so sure the bridge won't collapse with two of us and that damned chair, Mr. Hammer? I ain't really willing to run the risk of me and one of the pretty ladies left on this side crossing together and falling down. Or one of the guys too, I guess. ...'Least the animal is already on that side."

Micah stared at the bridge for a while, trying to think of something. "I wonder if we should have tried harder to look for an alternate path before we started crossing...but I guess it's too late for that now." She shook her head.

"I'm not sure letting the chair weight the bridge down while we cross would be a good idea. I think it might be worth it to try just taking the chair as soon as possible." She moved closer to the bridge, apparently ready to do just that. "I might be able to manage it without adding too much weight to the bridge. If anyone has a better idea, you should probably act quickly."

Ivan looked irritated as the rest of the group hesitated.

"You call yourselves Star Citizens if you can't make it through a simple tribulation like this..? Honestly...if my men were here, we wouldn't be crossing this bridge! This bridge would be crossing us!"

Ivan fearlessly made his way onto the bridge. He had planned to take the wheelchair with him as well.

"It's either that or leave it in, further comprising the already compromised structural integrity of the bridge further, which will almost certainly lead to at least one person either plummeting to their death or being left behind." Nail shrugged. "I can't make you risk further injury, but I don't think anyone here wants to leave Shizune behind, nor carry her, nor have to deal with her rehabilitation."

Honestly, if it came down to it, he could probably carry her or rifle through everyone's belongings to mock something up to carry her. Perhaps a sling of some kind?

Brandy gave a soft chuckle in response. "Heh, yeah. I can get the job done, don't you worry now, Benny."

"Sure, but there's no guarantee that the bridge won't give out the moment you take the chair. It's kinda like gettin' stabbed. See, you can last a little bit as long as the thing that stabbed you is still inside to prevent you from losin' too much blood. You only bleed out quicker when you pull the knife out, y'know?"

As she said that, she anxiously watched Ivan walk across because apparently she can't type fast enough.

Ivan heroically crosses the bridge, shoving Micah out of the way. He makes sure not to unsettle it further. He takes the wheel chair away from the hole in the plank and slowly takes it with him to the other side of the bridge. He puts it down simply. It appears to be in good condition. The bridge is now looking better too without the added weight in the centre. It's definitely more steady now than it was before. Surprisingly, it doesn't even look like it's in danger of collapsing anymore.

"Well, I guess we're all jus' a bit stupid."

CaptainPancakes · Post by **CaptainPancakes** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:19 pm

Ivan heroically poses, lifting the wheelchair up in the air. His gaze was fierce.

"Listen up, my fellow Star Citizens of Rattlewater! We cannot proceed with our objective if you cannot display an iota of courage! This bridge is not a problem. I recommend you all cross it at once! There is not even a need to go one at a time, we are wasting time! Go under the bridge and use it like monkey bars if you so desire, should that help everyone fit at once."

Kachu · Post by **Kachu** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:19 pm

"Oh." Bennett lets out a sigh of relief. "Hell yeah, Ivan!" He pumps a fist in the air, before bending down next to Micah. "You okay down there? No scrapes or anything?" He extends a hand to help her get up, and gives her a soft smile.

"If you rush you'll only cause more strain to the bridge," Seb pointed out, looking a little irritated by the situation. "As for that wheelchair issue, worst case scenario you've only broken one of the planks. The structure comes from the ropes and support stakes on either side." Indeed, apparently the bridge was looking fine now that Ivan had taken the wheelchair away.

“Now’s our chance!” Klifford exclaims, as he makes his way towards the bridge. The doctor takes a moment to prepare himself and then attempts to cross it.

Southern Corn · Post by **Southern Corn** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:22 pm

Klifford and his sock puppet cross the bridge successfully.

CaptainPancakes · Post by **CaptainPancakes** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:22 pm

"If we do not hurry, then our objective will escape our grasp!" Ivan called out in response to Seb. "Now hurry! All of you! Sprint, if you must! Make it past the bridge in no less than 8 seconds!"

SaizotheSixth · Post by **SaizotheSixth** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:24 pm

"Rushing the bridge is ill-advised. Situations can change in a handful of moments, Sir Ivanov." Nail shook his head. "Taking one's time is more likely to end in a net positive."

WinterCoat · Post by **WinterCoat** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:24 pm

Brandy sighed, feeling rather embarrassed for actually taking the situation seriously. "I guess I'll just cross, then."

She quickly made her way over the bridge while trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone. "I can't believe it was that easy..."

Southern Corn · Post by **Southern Corn** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:26 pm

Brandy crosses the bridge easily as well, even with just holding the rope with one hand. She makes it across well enough, and the bridge is only slightly shaky too.

Cesar Zero · Post by **Cesar Zero** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:28 pm

"Uh, I'm alright." Micah says as she gets up, apparently just a little shaken up at Ivan acting so suddenly. "Thanks. Guess taking the chair out was the right thing to do after all..." She says sounding just a bit smug. "Anyway, we probably shouldn't just sprint through but there isn't much to do now the bridge is more stable, so..." She started to cross the bridge once Brandy had made it through.

Kachu · Post by **Kachu** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:30 pm

Bennett nods. "Mhm, now we just need to cross."

He waits patiently for Micah to cross before attempting himself. Unless the bridge suddenly breaks for whatever reason. Then he probably wouldn't attempt to cross.

Oliver nervously chuckled as he looked at the rickety bridge. "H-Haha, how about that... So many people are making it through!" He watched as Micah crossed the bridge, and then Bennett, and with some hesitation, decided to cross when they made it to the other side, his face a little red in embarrassment.

CaptainPancakes · Post by **CaptainPancakes** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:32 pm

Ivan looked disappointed at the carefulness of everyone.

"Honestly...with me and my men, every square inch of that bridge would be covered with the stomp of a brave warrior..."

Southern Corn · Post by **Southern Corn** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:32 pm

Micah crosses the bridge followed by Bennett and then Oliver. They all make it safely and the bridge is fine afterwards. It seems they're almost done now with this very scary mission.

Franzise Deauxnim · Post by **Franzise Deauxnim** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:33 pm

Shizune's eyes widened in delight at the sight of her chair back within her grasp... well, almost. Apparently Ivan was holding it up like a trophy?

Southern Corn · Post by **Southern Corn** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:52 pm

Matt, seeing that everyone else was on the other side now, grunted and slowly walked through the bridge. He didn't damage it as he went through, thankfully, and he arrived there safe and sound. Now everyone was safely on one side, and the bridge was still up. The crew was quite relieved at this. Maybe now would be a good time to stop and interact a little before moving on.

Daniel looks over at Ivan and nods in agreement. "I feel you, Ivan. Consider it a test-run to know what kind of people you're dealing with."

Ignoring the drill instructor and police officer, both of whom seemed frustrating to be around, Brandy made her way over to Bennett. She approached him a tad hesitantly, however, and when she spoke she seemed to be both nervous and elated.

"So, uh, I reckon that was pretty silly, right?" she said. "The bridge, I mean. The bridge was silly."

JesusMonroe · Post by **JesusMonroe** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:04 pm

Benjamin tried to remember his best conversation starters. He didn’t want anyone to feel awkward, so he needed to be tactful and cordial.

He turned to Brandy and Shizune. “So were you two born that way or was it... a later development?”

"If we are to complete our mission successfully, perhaps I must employ the same methods I had used on the boys back home..."

He sighed, shaking his head. "Although that may be too harsh for some..."

Bennett scratches his neck, right under his ear. "Yeah, kind of ridiculous that nothing ended up happening... Of course, I'm thankful." Bennett avoided making eye contact with Brandy, but kept shifting his gaze to her missing arm. He coughed awkwardly. "Thanks to Ivan, nobody had to take that risk of moving the chair but him."

KamiPanda · Post by **KamiPanda** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:08 pm

Seb gave a small sigh of relief seeing that the bridge was still standing. "Actually, before we head in deeper, you mentioned something before, Benjamin," he said, briefly glancing his way before eyeing the ground. "You said that we'd all have a role to contribute on this expedition. But we, uh, never got a chance to hear what talents you might have that the mayor would recognise." He neglected to mention the other obvious issue, that being Benjamin's apparent prison sentence.

"Despite your disability, you live life to the fullest, don't you..? I can see that. Perhaps you'd like to join the Rattlewater Police Force? We're always taking volunteers."

Ivan raised his baton and aimed it at Brandy, smiling smugly. "Perhaps we can arrange something for that arm situation as well..?"

Whatever he was hesitating for seems to have gone away, as he's facing Brandy properly now, albeit with a small frown on his face. "I'm sure with that dancing machine around, you could get something to help you out with that..."

“Ah, it’s probably for the best I don’t mention it. Doubt it could be useful at the moment anyway.” Benjamin said, expertly evading the question.

At Benjamin's response, Seb simply nodded. He seemed unwilling to press the matter further even if he'd wanted to.

JesusMonroe · Post by **JesusMonroe** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:31 pm

Satisfied, Benjamin changed the topic. “Anyway, I was thinking—who should be our leader? I have a few proposals on some... guidelines we should follow and I want to know who to talk to. Or perhaps we should make our decisions democratically?”

Bennett lets out a deep sigh. "Right... If you say so."

Then he turns to Benjamin, with a bit of a nasty look on his face. "I suppose teamwork makes the dream work, but I don't know how comfortable I'd be listening to the opinions of some of the people here..." Bennett quickly glances around the cave, apparently eyeing some people, but it isn't obvious who.

"Plus, I sure ain't down for listening to the cop if he's gonna rush us to our deaths like with the bridge."

WinterCoat · Post by **WinterCoat** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:41 pm

"I think we should operate on democratic policy," Brandy said. "Realistically, havin' only one of us in charge could lead to disaster, since I get the feelin' we don't exactly trust each other as much as we could."

KamiPanda · Post by **KamiPanda** » Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:44 pm

Seb nodded. "I don't really trust any of you," he said by way of agreement. "...save, perhaps, Klifford," he added with some reluctance.
