[ but slide where? where was this card slideable? upon further inspection, eren decides that its in the tight door frame's spacing. nothing. it doesn't even go in right. where else? under the door? "slide it in". makes sense.
so he crouches, slides the card underneath the door and into the apartment itself.
[Mikasa is really fucking helpful here. She just stands there, tilting to head to watch him kneel and slide the card under.
...She didn't have any better ideas. If they said slide it in then that was it. Right?
Except once again, nothing happens. After a few seconds of expectant silence, she reached trying the handle. Nope, nothing, nada. Just two absolute 100% bumpkins stood in the middle of a hallway by a door.
Mikasa slowly looked to Eren again. Then the door. Was it the right one? Uhh... She's just going to try knocking??? Which yet again, achieved nothing. So she looked back to Eren again as the silence dragged.]
[ well. that sucks. even trying to look under the thin space of the door doesn't garner much of a response or an answer. the silence grows and so does his frown, curving down his face and reaching for the inside of his pocket. ]
[Mikasa waited. Patiently, unsure, in her own lane. Because really, she was fine just being here. Though it was kind of awkward that Eren couldn't get into what was supposed to be 'his' place.]
Yeah. We went to the embassy place together... [Then were separated because reasons.] I'm not sure where he is though.
[And unlike Eren. She didn't think to go to the strange device.]
[ at least enough people have been showing him how to work this thing (shhhh timelines) that, albeit slowly, he knows where to go to find contacts and send a message . . . just. give him a moment. he types with only one finger. ]
[She gave a small nod, crouching down herself to look under the door. Not that there was a space, it was a good door. Solid, no small gaps like when a load of planks were put together.]
I'm not sure how to find him on there. [All she could do was send messages into the void. Though she had found her own inbox, for as much good as that did. But Armin was smart, he'd probably worked it out. Like he'd know a way of getting into the room.
At that though, Mikasa's hands came up. Giving the door a light press. She'd not been expecting much, if the handle hadn't opened it. Pushing it wouldn't work. Mikasa was just seeing if there it moved enough to make a gap, then they could slide something under and maybe get the card. But no. It was sealed and- ]
It's made of metal.
[AKA even she wasn't breaking through that... Guess they were waiting for Armin then.]
[ alas, no one had shown him how to use a card key door. but as the device vibrates and beeps while eren and armin send messages back and forth— eren gets . . . increasingly . . . embarrassed. his ears start burning, he frowns, glances to the door, back to the device, and probably after ten to twenty minutes in total, ]
