Looking up at the mausoleum, Alice would sniff the air a bit, before eyeing the lock. So, in order to "help" Vincent with his problems, they'd have to destroy property...or find some way to pick the lock. Because there sure as shit wasn't any way they were going to actually get Vincent's help to solve the problem they'd been called out for.

Sofia would chuckle at Brandy's idea. [color=silver][b]"While I AM skilled, I don't think that works as well as it does in adventure novels. Besides,"[/b][/color] Sofia would draw an arrow and show the head's size compared to the hole. It was far too girthy, thick, not to mention hard to get inside. Sofia tapped it a few times to make sure Brandy got it, that shaft wasn't making it inside that hole in any capacity. [color=silver][b]"Though...I am at a loss for how to get inside now. While Alice could likely blow it open, that would no doubt catch that gravekeeper's attention...[/b][/color]

Alice was already working on it, humming softly as she brewed something in her alchemical oven. [color=ed1c24][b]"Little bit of Aluminum~! Wan! A strip of magnesium~! Wan! And to top it all off~"[/b][/color] Alice sang, getting up with a set of protective goggles on and scraping a large amount of rust from the chains and padlock, gathering them in a piece of paper until they piled high. [color=ed1c24][b]"Iron Oxide~! Wan!"[/b] [/color]she sang, before the fucking light of GOD itself manifested in the ceramic oven container, a menacing glow bathing Alice in an orange light while Sofia recoiled. [color=silver][b]"What IS that!?"[/b][/color]

Alice would be handling it with gargantuan oven mitts and as much caution was due of literal lava. [color=ed1c24][b]"A special tool to help us get inside! Thermite!"[/b][/color] Alice said excitedly, before getting around to silently melting the chains and lock. Much safer and quieter than a bomb.

Sofia stared in abject horror as Alice committed to her property damage, astonished that such a mild-mannered bookish person was so eager to literally make magma.

Alice would say: [color=ed1c24][b]"By the way, don't touch this. Don't even touch the stuff it touched. It'll be crazy hot."[/b][/color] In all likelihood, that warning was meant exclusively for Brandy.
