[ tom is starting to like this place less and less, and he wasn't much of a fan to start with. he glances around, taking in his surroundings. the doors he's already tried, bashing his shoulder into one in attempt to force it open. he's checked his pockets for a set of picks, for anything to give them an out (to give him an out) other than complying with... this.
but if this is the only way, so be it. while "tom keen" the persona might not have the best coordination to get anything more than a decent score, he certainly does. his life has depended on coordination, skill, and balance plenty of times. he stoops to remove his boots, the hard soles likely to affect his accuracy, and he shrugs out of a corduroy jacket, dropping it over them.
when she issues her challenge to the ceiling, he huffs out a breath. ]
Look, I don't plan on dying. Not here and not like this, like someone stuck in a third-rate Batman villain's trap. Our best chance is to try. And if you're not willing, then I can drag you through the steps and hope your feet hit the right arrows more than 25% of the time.
dance dance.
