Unfortunately you didn't count on the fact that they put whatever they could find on the other side of the door to make sure you didn't leave, if you ever regained your consciousness. It's clear after pushing, tackling and kicking the door that it will not budge so easily... Meanwhile, however, you ring up Arthur to ask who that guy was and what he knows.
Of course he wasn't in a hurry like you.
<span class="mu-i">It takes him a few minutes to answer... Usually this would be nothing, but right now it kinda pisses you off.</span>
You don't even let him have the first word. "Arthur. Please tell me you have an update on what the hell happened here."
<span class="mu-s">"...Hello? And uhh, I was wondering the same. Been sitting here in the audience for an hour waiting for you to show up. Is everything okay? Did you... Fall asleep? And what's with all that knocking I hear?"</span> He seems just as puzzled as you are. Well shit. "Come on, don't they pay you to organize this shit and know things?" You say with an air of sarcasm as you bash your lance against the door.
"...They <span class="mu-i">do</span> pay you, right?"
He chuckles nervously and decides to not answer that, at least not before you follow up with another topic. "I was attacked by some rando out of the blue, name's Graham-" He interrupts before you can finish, with a confident and calm tone. "Ah, yes. Mitchellison. He was a challenger. Wanted to take your place as #8. I'm guessing he failed since he isn't the one calling... I warned you things like this could happen. The UAA isn't static, you know? A nationwide network of assassins... There couldn't possibly be only 10 at once."
"...Also this place smells like shit and the food sucks and I am surrounded by goth girls. But! #7 is still here! Or... Should I say "are"? However it is, you best hurry up if you wanna catch them. Her. Whatever. I will now be going up with the cleanup crew to where you are... I guess you could wait there until we open up, since it seems you're stuck... But I dunno how many songs they've got left, honestly."
Well, that poses a problem... And a time limit. So? Will you...
>Use your lance and brute force your way out! (Warning: This will consume all the charge. leaving you vulnerable!)>Try to use your wits and smarts and try to figure a clever way out. (This will take longer, and a lot of brain effort...)>Try to calm down and wait for him to arrive. (This will take the longest, but you'll be more prepared for action.)
