The Sound That's Counted So Many Days [Open]
WHO| Howard and OPEN
WHAT| Boobytraps all up in here.
WHERE| Thunder Mountain (Frontierland)
WHEN| Week 4
WARNINGS/NOTES| None yet.
Thunder Mountain is a death trap. Howard's made it that way. A few people, like Wyatt, know how to get past the precautions Howard's set up, but otherwise it's a rather ingenious array of rigged boobytraps. In a way, Howard's actually enjoyed working on his 'security system' to the little tunnel he and Wyatt and R have occupied. It's taken time to think up, time that he could spend thinking of Eponine or thinking of dying or just thinking about the excruciating pain of having his body heal up. And then it's taken time to implement.
The bridge to the tunnel on each side has had most of the railing stripped out, and the boards on the track have been replaced by rotten ones from near the water. Pieces will fall out if stepped on. A few snares lie in wait in the darker parts of the coaster, ready to catch an unsuspecting foot. There are trip-wires, as well, some of which lead to bells or collapses of piles of stuff as alarms, and some of which tug at precariously-set coaster cars. It's not perfect, and many of the traps can be easily identified or won't work properly when tripped, but it's somewhat impressive nonetheless.
The tunnel itself has been made almost into a nest. Howard's been bringing back things from the gift shops, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and Tomorrowland pretty much every day. There are two makeshift beds for him and Wyatt made of ratty, moldy old towels and moth-eaten stuffed animals. A pile of netting sits off to the side, for catching fish. There's a firepit dug up, with spits made of sticks, and several thermoses full of water from the river.
Right now, while Wyatt's out checking some of the animal snares, Howard sleeps. It's a light sleep, one interrupted by wakefulness whenever there's a sharp noise, but it's rest enough. His hood is pulled up over his head, hiding his mangled face. The stolen souvenir clothing is so oversized it makes him look like a little grey and blue lump.
His hands clench around a stuffed Bagheera's leg in one fist and a knife in the other.

But Howard hasn't really fixed it up lately. His neck jerks again, this time moving his whole shoulder, and he tries to pass it off by gesturing his dead hand at the tunnel. "You should get going before my other allies come back."
Not just Wyatt, he's implying.

Or maybe he was too tired to keep on the move.
"It was a close on that one," And if he'd been a few hours later, when he find himself more tired and hungry, to the point it would cost him his concentration, it would have. Daniel considered him for a long moment, eyes drifting to that strange jerk in his neck. The message was pretty loud and clear: one, that he had more than one ally, so watch out (or he was bluffing), and two, you might want to get going.
Did he have other allies or was Wyatt it? If it was just Wyatt, Daniel would have been fine waiting along with Howard to make sure he'd be fine until then. "Alright. Will you be okay though?"

"Careful on the bridge on the way out. Wouldn't want the pet zombie to get you."
