[Fin] Murder in the Mountains 2: Everyone heads off to a beach somewhere (END)

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Tyson finds all the meat he can and eats it. Raw. He doesn't care if it's cooked or not, he's that hungry. He overhears Life's Avatar talking about how the entrance needs to be cleared up.

I'm a one-man wreckin' crew! You don't need any shovelth, wreckin' ballth, bulldozerth! I got dith! Maybe if we work together, we can get outta here!

> Try to help clear out some of that rubble (if it's possible to do so)

[Kennifer]

Felicia, meanwhile, is gonna

>Make one of the cheesecakes, either it'll keep up her strength to help move rubble or it'll be good for celebrating.

And Pippin is gonna...

>Waddle outside and hit some of the rubble with Bubble Beam to try and weaken it; rock is weak to water, right?

[Florien]

There's a far better solution. Rockslides can't prevent me from completing my appointed rounds!

And with that, Overlynd pulls out multiple books of stamps and sticks them to hirself, and writes "475 L'Enfant Plaza, Washington D.C., 20260 USA" on hir sleeve.

I AM DELIVERED!

[PopcornPie]

"Are you guys gonna need my help?" Nico calls from the Rec Room. "I might be able to clear some of those rocks with a special move!"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

If you think you can do it, be my gueth!

[PointMaid]

Samantha puts her tea and book down. She really should help.

I'll help too. The more people, the easier the work should be.

> Help clear the rocks

...I read that it's all about lifting with your legs, and not your back...

[wingedcatgirl]

>Make a cheese (cake) (@Kennifer)
Delicis [cheesed] cake get!

>Help clear rubble (@"The Hammer Brother", @Kennifer, @PointMaid)
It takes several hours, but everyone inside manages to make some progress from this end, and eventually...

"Yo! Can you guys hear us in there?"

Enough rubble is cleared that the construction crew can start shouting through it.

"We got a call from Vince, said there was a cave-in!"

[PopcornPie]

Nico cupped his hands and called. "Yeah, but we're all okay!...Most of us are okay!"

>Do his part to clear the rocks.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Yeah, we've been trapped here for a while, but we're fine! Come on, everyone! Keep diggin'!

> Keep clearing the rocks

[wingedcatgirl]

"... only most of you are okay? What the hell happened?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Long thory!, Tyson says to the workers while still working to dig his way out.

[PopcornPie]

"I spent the whole week as a dead person!" Nico hugged cheerily as he shared the work.

[PopcornPie]

(*huffed) (goddamn fat fingers missed the "f" key)

[Florien]

Overlynd rushes over to the rubble, still covered in stamps, and shouts at the rescuers

WE ARE DELIVERED! Rescuers! Also, violent violent scenario, blood and destruction everywhere, six people dead, and I can implicate Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General! Also the anthropomorphic personification of death, but it might be difficult to arrest death itself, so mostly the first one! I have postage fully paid to be mailed to the headquarters to take him out, as soon as you clear the rest away! Assuming you are not here to kill us all, of course, being sent by the wicked and evil Vince Ruiz who trapped us in here to kill us in an elaborate manner! The US Postal service thanks you for helping clear the exit regardless, it was tricky to complete my appointed rounds with the entrance blocked, but nothing can stop a mailentity from completing hir appointed rounds!

[Oggy123]

"Thank goodness!" Yuuta exclaimed to the crew. Suzume perches on his shoulder, trying not to attract attention. "I've been trapped here for a few days, and there were cultists trying to kill us!"

[PointMaid]

Yeah. Good thing I brought so much reading or I think I'd have gone mad. It was not the vacation we'd been promised. But we pulled together and figured it out.

[Kennifer]

Felicia comes out of the kitchen holding the finished cheesecake.

"Anyone up for some cheesecake? Oh, you got it cleared out, good."

She smiles. Pippin runs over to her cheerily explaining in a series of "pip"s and "lup"s how he was able to help.

Felicia... didn't say anything about how she'd died, either; she'd rather not think about that now that she was in one piece and alive again anyway.

[PopcornPie]

"Almost! Hey, can Pippin do any super moves that could make this go faster?"

[Kennifer]

"Well, he knows Charm, Peck, Whirlpool, and Bubble Beam. Really only Bubble Beam would work for this if he'd like to keep using that. Peck's not good against this sort of thing, Charm... he just uses that on the judges of Contests to increase his cuteness, and Whirlpool would need more water and probably make a mess anyway."

She sets the cheesecake to the side if anyone wants some, then enjoys a slice herself before going to help with some more of the rubble. She'll move whatever small to mid size pieces she can by hand while Pippin shoots more Bubble Beams to help break down the larger pieces.

[wingedcatgirl]

The frontmost construction worker shovels more rubble out of the tiny hole, making it a larger hole. Large enough for a Piplup to piplup its way out of, but still not quite large enough for a human person. "Destruction? Cultists? Six dead‽‽ What the hell happened here, I thought Vince just ran a spa...!"

[Kennifer]

Pippin pokes out of the hole, flapping his tiny wings and piplupping frantically. He's explaining what happened, including that his Trainer died and came back and so did a couple of the others. Of course unless the construction workers can speak Pokemon, it'd just sound like, well, frantic Piplup noises.

[PointMaid]

Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it either. You never think these things would happen to you, right?

Samantha continues helping to shift the rubble

[PopcornPie]

Nico pushes rocks around like he's playing Tetris. "Vince works for Death itself! We got to meet the persona of Life itself, too!"

[wingedcatgirl]

"What‽ Listen, can I just talk to Vince? Where even is he?"

[PopcornPie]

"I don't know. Overlynd, where did you go when you died?"
