"Research, of course. That would be the most logical way to go about doing it, and probably, if I didn't have other projects to work on, I'd harass the librarian until he gave me the key to the school. But I'm here right now, and I want to pull the darn thing off the wall until it gives up its secrets." Which was not logical or rational. But she hated a challenge unanswered.

She dropped the pose and approached the mirror once again, running her fingers along the frame. A clue? Anything? "It was a throwaway mention, just an laundry list of passages from the school and why they weren't in use anymore. It used to be so much easier to sneak out, you know?"

Vivi hummed a bit about the problem before pivoting again and giving poor Max her most genuine-and-devious smile. "Will you stay? I like your brain."

Max understood her frustration. He wished he had known about this particular secret in the past - maybe he could've done research on it years ago and had some answers for this new 'Claw. Alas, he had failed her, and his face fell to reflect his remorse. "I wish it could be that simple." And he DID. He HATED that he couldn't help her have fun. Boring!Max could've used that kind of enjoyment in his day.

He watched Vivi curiously, his eyes following her fingers as they traced the frame. "Ah." That was no help. It... used to be easier to sneak out? What did she mean? He didn't really know, but he gave her a small smile and a nod anyway. Surely she knew what she was talking about, so there was no reason to question her.

His eyebrows raising in surprise as Vivi turned on him, Max took in her general presence for a moment before responding, "I appreciate that. I like your curiosity and... adventurous spirit." Very admirable. "Sure I'll stay. I don't have anything to do." He shifted the bag on his shoulder, grateful that he had an excuse to procrastinate a bit longer, then recrossed his arms. "So what's our plan?" Did they even have one? Or were they giving up?
