So... OK. Keep checking on our place. Found something. Looks like... maybe a keyhole of some kind? Kinda looks wadjet-shaped. So... yeah. Might be needing that.

Oh, and Bes? Simba says he approves of your new mate. Thinks she'll be able to provide you with plenty of kittens.

I don't suppose we have any idea where said-key would be?

Geez, Bastet. The guy just had a girl over to his place, doesn't mean he's out to start breeding.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

It's that thing. That we recovered. In Tennessee. Or do you not remember that trip?

I'm just passing along what he told me. Simba seems to think Bes would want kittens at some point.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

I kind of had my mind on other things as you well know. Still, that makes things easier, except for whatever unholy terrors are in there.

..Well I'm no judge on whether someone's ready for kids.

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

All right! Progress!

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Yes! Progress. Meri would be so pleased. We're going to need as many of us as we can here, though, I think. I'm tough and all, but if Apep or whatever comes through that barrier... Well. We're screwed.

... C4?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

What size area are we looking at for this door or portal or whatever it is? Is it in a room or somewhere that we can isolate it while we work?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

It's in a room... but it's heavy traffic. Just off the buffet area.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

So what you're saying is we would have to find a way to shut down the entire buffet to really cut down potential casualties. I've never been to Vegas but I get the impression that it's never a good idea to get between someone and their buffet there.

Question, sis: how far is it from any slot machines?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Up a flight of stairs. No C4, though. The blast zone would only hurt the human side of things.

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

Okay, no C4... and the slot machines are a bit far.... still, those things are noisy. Rerigged to all make the 'jackpot' sound at once... might work better than the fire alarm. I'm just speculating. I want to play mad scientist on something

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

I'd say we could figure it out best as a team, looking things over in person. Bring the whole family. You, Seth, Bes, Meri. It'll be fun!

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

I still can't say I'm happy at the idea of having Meri anywhere near this.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I would have to agree with Seth. She's just a kid. If we bring her out to Vegas with us, I'm going to have to insist we keep her safe in the hotel room while we bust this thing open. Preferably a hotel that is not the Luxor, too.

That kitten is more powerful than the rest of us put together right now. And she's immortal. I don't approve of kittens in needless danger, but we need her mind at work on this.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'm not objecting to taking her and she is probably twenty times smarter than I am about all of this. But she can use her mind in a safer location than right on the doorstep. That's all I'm saying. She can direct us from a couple of floors away in the casino just as easily as she can in our back pockets.

And I get that she's immortal. I still can't fight the really, really adamant urge here, unfortunately. Sorry.

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

I only want her for ideas and strategy. My god-kitten's claws aren't yet sharp enough for fighting.
