[morethan084]

[The volcano has erupted and all hell has broken loose. Unsure of where everyone is, she speaks frantically to the network.]

I can get up there!

[She shouts, both in real life and into everyone’s earpieces. Hopefully they can hear her.]

One tiny little problem with that is I’d probably burn to death.

[OOC: Instead of just throwing the suggestion in the event log, I figured this might be a good way to ICly figure things out? This is the info I got from the mods in regards to Daisy’s powers when it comes to orb retrieval.]

[morethan084]

Durable as in resistant to lava levels of durable?

[malta]

[ he SCOFFS. ]

I can't believe you don't like Lord of the Rings.

[shishkabob]

I can stay standing after getting impaled, that help?

[shishkabob]

I've been in hell a few times, I can manage standing in an active volcano for a few minutes. At that point I'd be more worried about volcanic ash, I still gotta breathe. I just won't come out with anything that'll stick around for long.

[deaddrop]

It doesn't hurt.

[Though depending on just how impaled they're talking about, Natasha knows a few people who could say that.]

I assume that extends to breathing in toxic fumes?

[shishkabob]

Yeah, I can manage that for longer than most. It'll suck the whole time, [because they're still toxic fumes and those actually hurt to breathe in for any period of time,] but I'm not gonna come out of it with anything permanent.

[deaddrop]

That's good to know. That gives us a few people who shouldn't immediately die, at least.

[morethan084]

Can we save the judging until we’re back on the station?

[morethan084]

I—

[He’s been where?]

I want to hear about that when this is all over.

[Biting her lip in thought, but there’s not much she can see around her that would prevent him from inhaling the smoke.]

So you heal quickly?

locked

[oiorpata]

[ well now she'll have to lock it up. good thing she figured out how. ]

I'm not going to jump to my death in a volcano for funsies, Daisy. If I lived my life for all these long years without taking a single risk because one day an injury is going to stick, it would be difficult to say I lived at all.

[ and she's kind of surprised at herself for saying so. she doesn't know if it's going to reassure daisy or scare her more, but it comes to andy easily in the light of everything. maybe it hasn't all been a waste. ]

There is no getting off this island without the orb, and I'm not going to let someone else jump into lava when there's no chance of them coming back. You can't tell me you wouldn't do the same if you had this ability. I don't want to lose you in any of this either, and you're far more breakable than I am.

We're a team, and I need you to trust me. I can't erase your worry but I can promise you I don't have a death wish. [ she'll be careful. she won't be blasé. ]

[malta]

If you'd like.

[ would she prefer joe's sole focus be on judging her? so be it. ]

[shishkabob]

Eh, not much to talk about. It was pretty boring.

[He killed a couple of demons, found a shard of his brother's sword, cut his way out of hell, all in a day's work.]

Yeah, pretty fast. And I'm just a sturdy guy in general—even if I can't heal fast, I can take a lot more hits than others.

[shishkabob]

You got a list?

[morethan084]

[She’s right, about everything. It doesn’t make it any easier to here though, especially when she can’t face her in person right now.]

I do trust you.

[She has to fight not to tell her to be careful, but she manages to keep from saying it.]

I have a quicker way of getting you and Joe up there.

[deaddrop]

In a little back of the napkin math sort of way.

[oiorpata]

[ she can hear the tone and emotion in daisy's voice and it makes andy suspect there is more going on - but they unfortunately don't have the time for her to press. ]

Thank you. I'm not going to play this stupidly.

What's your idea?

[morethan084]

[She’s honestly hoping he’ll just forget about it.]

I’m going to help give Gwen a lift up to the volcano and she’s going to bring you and Andy up there. You good with that?

[morethan084]

[She very much doubts it was boring, but she has to focus on the current situation.]

Let’s just hope you don’t have to take many hits. It’s looking pretty intense up there.

[morethan084]

[Daisy pinches the bridge of her nose, wishing she could come up with something better. Safer.]

I’m going to give Gwen a boost and she’s going to grab you and Joe and bring you up to the volcano. Natasha and Yelena have grappling hooks they’re willing to give to try and make grabbing the orb easier.

[malta]

Absolutely. [ a beat. ] How?

[oiorpata]

That'll make it easier.

[ less lava touching potential, even if andy starts to plan for other contingencies too with the new steps. ]

There's the crabs too. We can use them to avoid touching the lava. Joe and I are good at what we do, Daisy. We've been at it a very long time.

[shishkabob]

I've dealt with intense before, I'll be fine. You?

[shishkabob]

Got any ideas for how to prolong the not-dying part?

[morethan084]

Not sure how much the crabs will go along with that.

[Daisy points out, not even thinking about ripping their shells off as a possible solution.]

I know. I just worry about you.

[The words are out of her mouth before she can stop herself and she quickly adds,]

Guys.

[morethan084]

Our powers. She’ll—

[How does she even describe what Gwen can do?]

Pull you up.
