Lock glowered as Carmilla made an admittedly good point. He looked between Carver and Barrel, and decided getting any assistance from either of them would be as helpful as trying to wipe off writing on a tombstone. He crossed his arms and glared at Carver.

"Like hell," he said, before a smirk crossed his lips. "But it was [i]good[/i]."

After last week, he wasn't too keen on sharing their usual amusement regarding Barrel's obliviousness.

Shock glanced to Carver with an amused smirk. She had no intent of listening to Lillith, as she was waiting for the other boot to drop. And when it did, it warmed her wicked little heart to see Lillith lose it at Carmilla, which in and of itself sent her into a fit of laughter. Barrel joined her, and even Lock couldn't resist a few snickers at his girlfriend's expense. She abandoned him last week. This was payback.

When Carmilla motioned to them, all three of them swelled up with pride.

"You mean the [i]fun[/i] level!" Barrel said with a grin.

"Far better than being--" Lock started.

"--A stuffy old corpse," Shock finished.

She mockingly raised her nose in the air.

"Darkness [i]forbid[/i] a little dirt get on our robes; we might faint!"

Lock and Barrel both lost it. Lock recovered first as his momentarily-forgotten anger came back. Shock motioned for Carmilla to come over to the group, where she and Carver could provide some temporary sanctuary from her sister.

"Come on, guys," Shock said deviously. "Let's leave the love-bats to retrace their steps, since they [i]obviously[/i] can't keep track of their things."

"I'm sure they'll appreciate the [i]quality time[/i] together," Barrel said cheerfully, before he followed his sister up the rope ladder.

Lock glared at them, but since he didn't win the fight, he wasn't going to get anything from Shock, and if he tried to take on Barrel or Carver, it'd easily become three-on-one. He already hurt from his earlier tussle with Shock, and he didn't like his odds when Barrel and Carver were at full strength. He therefore flipped them all off, then started to search the lair for his guitar strings and Lillith's theremin pieces.
