[IN PROGRESS] Someone Lost

[cosmo]

"Ohh! I think I know what's going on! There's five prongs and five of us, so maybe we all have to do something with the prongs to get the door open?"

[seppawku]

'Mince's feathers ruffle in excitement. This looks like a puzzle! They step closer to inspect the prongs more closely, holding their leaf tightly in case they need it again. 'How would it know there would be five of us?' 

[cosmo]

"Well, Brisk knows there are five of us, right? I feel like that might sort of, transfer over potentially. Just a theory though!"

[knux400]

As Mince inspects the prongs, they notice that they seem to be detachable from the base- they can be unscrewed from their spot.

[seppawku]

Mince unscrews the prong and taps the side with the tip of their wing, seeing what noise it makes.

[knux400]

The prong makes an odd hum for about a half-second, the two tips vibrating.

[seppawku]

’Is this a tuning fork..?’

[cosmo]

“Oh, huh!” Clarice will unscrew and sound hers as well.

[knux400]

The tuning fork hums for a short time. It doesn't seem to have any effect.

Brisk kneels down and peeks through the tiny door.
"That's odd. There's a disc wedged in here. Let me just..."

And with a gentle pop, Brisk removes a glass disc from the doorway, holding it up for the rest of the group.
"Huh. Anyone have a clue what this might be for?"

[aeshihowl]

"Maybe...?" Flicker unscrews a tuning fork as well and ventures over to Brisk, sounding the tuning fork and slotting the prongs on either side of the disc the other TCP is holding.

[cosmo]

"Maybe the disk needs to go into the hole in where the rods were attached to?"
