[On Wednesday there is nothing suspicious in any of the trash cans. It's a good idea to check, but the trash is dumped every night.
If Axel wants to roll it out though, the different restaurants have these kinds of things which you can put a trash can on and wheel them around. He can even see them clear out the trash with one: they have a big can on one of those and grab the trash bags from the various smaller cans and use the wheels to push all the trash out to the dumpster.]
...Yeah, you've got a point there. There's only one solution I think. We'd have to roll the bomb out somewhere people haven't gone to or won't, and then maybe hurl it as far out as we could.
[ That's what he thinks, anyway. ]
Speaking of which, there's kind of like things around to roll stuff here or there, by the way. Probably for when somebody's transporting trash out.
We can probably use it to move the bomb around or something. Maybe even to the dumpster. Nobody's gonna want to crowd around there.
[ He will gesture to those objects in particular, by the by. ]
Doesn’t solve the issue of finding the stupid thing— but if it’s not already planted it’ll be around here. We can keep coming back and checking in, and if we see anything suspicious we can act.
[ she’s counting off on her fingers: ]
Find the bomb; move it away from the densely populated areas, maybe to a dumpster or something; set off the fire alarm to get people away from the mall.
[ holds up her hand for a high five so they can be awkwardly stuck together for half an hour trying to finish lunch and scope out the area for literal bombs.
[lol yeah enjoy being stuck together. Everyone else will assume it's a cute couple holding hands.
They can check for a few days but Saturday is the day. When they check the trash can, they find a suspicious package inside it. It's way too big for what is normally thrown away in these cans.]
[ Honestly Axel would have returned the high five, so hecking crying that is exactly what happens.
At least they manage to find something on Saturday, though. His mind goes into panic mode and he knows what he's doing, he's getting one of those rolly things to put the sus package on top of it. ]
You get the fire alarm, I got the package, got it??
[ He said 'got' twice and yes that is him panicking, but hey he is going to aim for going towards the dumpsters, it's fine. ]
[The two closest restaurants to that trash can are a beef bowl place and Taco Baco. Actually, with that 13 that Tama totally rolled first, she can glance up and see that there's a small something on top of the T at the Taco Baco. Hm. But also the fire alarm is on a wall near the restrooms.
Axel with his 1 is not going to see anyone in his way, and he can grab a worker jacket and the rolly thing. The people are still there, and they're giving Axel a weird look and going "sir?" but he does not see them. He's too focused on the task at hand.]
[ things said moments before a disaster. okay— can she see what’s on that T? like… if she gets close and squints really hard to see if she can make out what it is? ]
[ she’s willing to root through the trash if she has to. let’s go.
otherwise— if she doesn’t find anything, she’ll get started on setting off a fire alarm. she has a plan in mind for that too, at least, so it shouldn’t take too long to act on it. ]
[It's up to Axel tbh, The bomb has been placed and he can run away or go back into the mall.
Digging through the trash! She finds a second bomb. Which makes sense, one bomb at one pillar wouldn't have been enough to send the whole place crashing down.
But almost as soon as she finds the bomb, a woman comes by and shoves a shake into Tama's hands.]
"Aw, you don't have to dig in there for food! Here, I just bought this for you. No need to thank me!"
[ Well, Axel decides to hang near the exit to the dumpster area instead for a little bit longer, because yeah. He has no idea what's going on the other end. Such is life.
Is there a fire alarm nearby by the way? Maybe Tama was having a hard time finding one? ]
Noooo, I'm digging for the-- [ ugh. ] I don't have time for this.
[ bye definitely-not-sigrun, she's enacting plan f for fire-alarm. there's bound to be a fire extinguisher somewhere, right? when she sees one she's going to discharge it right under a smoke dectector -- google tells me the excess of "smoke" from a fire extinguisher purposely being discharged under it can make the detector kick off. ]
1: Axel is confronted by a green haired girl who is most certainly not Saya.]
"Hey, mister! Do you work here?"
[And 2: Tama sets off the fire alarm with her fire extinguisher stuff. With the alarms blaring, everyone starts to leave the mall through the fire exits.]
Though at the last moment, that green-haired girl grabs the bomb and yeets it back into the mall before running away, undoing some of the work you did.
Then the bombs explode.
It's loud, and the concussive force of the blasts knocks people down even if they got to safety. If they turn around to look, they'll see the roof of the food court sag and then collapse inwards. Additionally, the entrance they just used is now destroyed.
Not everyone was saved. A dozen or so people got caught in the blasts or buried in the rubble. But your quick thinking saved hundreds of lives. It's not a perfect success, but you did pretty good all things considered.]

Is this what they're doing each day until they find the bomb?]

Right, right— uh. Should we steal you a worker’s jacket so no one thinks you’re stealing a trash can for some reason?
[ shit she didn’t think of that. but— ]
But yeah, I’ll get the fire alarm. I’ve got this.

So, I'll see you around. You really do got it!
[ Anyway, that's good enough for him re: not seeing anybody in his way. Axel is a pretty focused kind of guy, so let's go.
He's grabbing a worker jacket, rolly thingy, and making movements to move le bomb towards the dumpster outside. ]

Also congrats Axel, you can roll that trash can right on out of there. Is he just sticking it by the dumpster and running?]
no subject
[ Yeah, he's going to run back all the way to the door he exited so he doesn't like...end up maybe getting blown up. ]
no subject
hm. can she throw something at it? why is there a camera there anyway…? frowns. what was it looking at anyway, can she see where it was pointed?
if it’s at the bins can she can have a little snoop around the ones axel didn’t move? ]
no subject
She can do a little snoop around the other ones but all she sees at a glance is trash.]
