Connor's mischievous grin widened.
"We need to set everyone's head on fire."
Travis and the Jarlan 5 were silent for an entire 30 seconds before shouts and yells and screams of protest erupted.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Connor shouted. "Hear me out!"
The eight frustrated demigods quieted down, though they all glared at him irritably.
Connor limped over to the chef and picked up her chef's hat.
He turned to his audience and triumphantly showed them the hat.
They stared at him blankly.
"So, as you know, our enemies have flaming heads," he said energetically.
He waited for a reply he didn't get.
"And, as you know, this hat didn't burn while it was on her head, which means it's fireproof!" Connor continued excitedly.
They remained quiet.
"If we can set it on fire, that would make us disguised empousai, and we could sneak out easily! We could even ask for directions if we get lost! It's foolproof!"
"Sure! Foolproof!" Violet exclaimed. "Other than the simple, unimportant fact that we'd be SETTING OUR HEAD ON FIRE!"
She earned grumbles and mumbles of approval.
Connor huffed.
"How would we even do that?" Adora asked.
"Well, there's a tank of gasoline, right here, for some reason," Nino said, gesturing to the gallon-sized, transparent milk jug on the floor. It was filled with a liquid that looked exactly (and extremely concerningly) like water.
"Why do they have a tank of gasoline here?" Raven asked, concerned.
"It's a condiment," said Loyal, horrified and disgusted. He was holding a recipe book he'd found on the counter. "It's like the empousai chili sauce!"
Jinny let out a strained squeak.
"Why do I find that logical though?" Adora mumbled.
"Anyway," Travis spoke up, determined to NOT let this conversation continue, "we don't have enough hats, so this plan is-"
Connor spun around, holding a dozen brightly colored, sparkly chef hats, with the brightest, excited grin on his face.
It was as if he'd waited his entire life to set his head on fire.
"-and nevermind."
"I can't believe this!" Raven said. "This is the worst plan ever!"
"We're all gonna dieeeeee!" Loyal sobbed.
"Some rescue mission!" Violet said.
"This is going to be a disaster," Andrés said.
"I wanna go home!" Jinny cried.
"Wait, what's that noise!?" Raven shouted, quickly but gently grabbing Jinny and covering her mouth.
Everyone shut up in less than two seconds. Travis readied his sword. Connor stared at the door in terror, holding his dozen sparkly chef hats.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?"
"Yes, the signal brought us here."
"But there is no door! It's just a plain wall!"
