[Video] S3-1 - First Dream

[gothelproof]

[Flynn's expression is livid as his video flicks on. He's halfway through a threat, too angry to realize his mistake of turning on the CAT a moment late.]

--hope I never get my hands on whoever is responsible, because they'll need a lot more than a magic flower when I'm done.

[He hesitates a moment, obviously warring with himself on whether it's worth it to say more. A beat later, disgusted, he ends the message.]

[Flynn is just as surprised as Sophie -- he didn't expect getting in to be this easy. And that... puts him on his guard. If there's one thing he's learned through his former life as a thief, it's that if something goes your way, nine times out of ten it's a trap.

Regardless of his feelings on that, he steps up after Sophie, pausing only long enough to see if the door was forced open somehow before they got there.

Everything checks out, though, and he continues inside.]

Well, that was anticlimactic. Which way now?

[fortune_sought]

This way. [Sophie gestures] Follow me.

[and she heads through the Mayor's House--completely uneventfully, as it turns out. when they reach the entrance to the space station, however, it's sealed. Sophie marches right up to it and says, firmly:]

Now, door, this just won't do! You're meant to be an entrance, after all. It's time you let us through.

[she eyes it for a moment, but nothing happens]

[Flynn shoots Sophie another sideways glances, waiting to see if bullying the door, against all odds, might have some effect.

When it becomes clear that it hasn't, Flynn breathes in, preparing.]

Well... let's see how solid it is...

[He takes a few steps back, pulls a face in preparation, and takes a running start to throw his shoulder into the door.

And still. Nothing.

Flynn stays against the door for a moment, putting off the wince as long as he can to spare his pride.]

...ow.

[fortune_sought]

Oh goodness, be careful! [Sophie runs over to him, ready to help support him if he needs it] Are you all right, Mr Flynn?

[gothelproof]

[He waves her off, only nursing his should a little. Just a little. And eyeing the door.]

No, yeah. Everything fine here. Just a small bump. It mostly hit my pride.

[Flynn rallies, giving the door a more appreciative look.]

Oh, mama. That is one well-built door. For Red's sake, I sure hope there's another way in...

[fortune_sought]

Yes... [Sophie frowns, wishing she'd sounded more confident at least. after a moment's thought, she decides:] We should search the house--perhaps we can find one.
