exercisms | Curfew Week 0; Lobby

[Right at curfew, Mob is down in the lobby (in his pajamas) trying to coax his cat inside for the night. He's managed to get her in the door, but he's trying to draw her further in, to keep her from running away.

Oh, but then the door slams shut and locks.]

[good thing mob actually gets the cat inside. the door slams and locks, but given that sora's looking at his phs he doesn't seem to notice that it shut on its own.]

What'd you lock the door for? [mob did nothing wrong, and yet.]

I didn't mean to!

[He also thinks he caused this. Trying to unlock it?]

[time to go over and check the door!]

It's okay. It's probably just stuck. [what if he tries to help by pushing on it while mob works on unlocking it? surely that will work.]

[Rattling the lock! Ahhh.]

I broke it! Do you think I'll get in trouble?

I don't know. [ahhhh intensifies.] Maybe nobody else will notice until later...? [that's also not a solution.]

We have to fix it.

Right. [but how...] We can try to figure out a way to remove the doorknob? That would remove the lock.

[. . . Rattling it more.]

[as mob rattles the door, sora's going to attempt to knock on it to see if maybe someone outside can hear them.]

Hm...maybe it's on a timer? [how does that make any sense.]

[ and coming from the top of the stairs, after a moment comes a voice.

he's calling down, with the hope that there's someone else down there ]

Soooo, is anybody else locked out?
