IC DATES: Night 28 > Morning 29 STARTING SQUARE: VI.L.15 ENDING SQUARE: VI.J.13 (or wherever the girls climbed up before) (we hope!) DETAILS:
Lalo will contact Chloe and Taissa on Night 28, but as previously mentioned, he's not going to risk trying to make the climb in the dark. He will fill the cooler with water, and tie it to the end of the rope when Chloe tosses it down so Chloe and Tai can pull it up. He is NOT going to try to climb with that huge cooler anyway lol. He will also stand a safe distance away so if the cooler does get dropped, he's not in danger of it falling on him. He'll double-knot it and also make sure the cooler is locked (if it has a locking mechanism). If it doesn't have a locking mechanism, he'll also tie rope around the cooler to make sure it doesn't spill while it's getting hauled up. Actually, he'll do that regardless.
Then he'll find an out of the way spot with cover to hide/sleep the rest of the night once he knows if they were successful getting the water up or not. He will listen for the footsteps for a bit before going to sleep to make sure they're not getting closer to him.
In the morning, once there's enough good light to see by, Lalo will try to make the same climb that Chloe and Tai made.
Pros: * While Lalo doesn't have Chloe's specific skill with climbing ruins, he is an extremely good climber in a general sense. Seriously, he's constantly jumping/climbing/parkouring around even when there's no need to. * Lalo specifically IS really good at pulling off dangerous, near-impossible physical feats that you wouldn't necessarily expect him to be able to. Including while injured or in pain. * Athletic and strong; good upperbody strength. * He'll ditch his stash o' cash to make room for other stuff in his pockets. Anything he can't carry on his person, he'll leave behind, to keep himself as light and unencumbered as possible. * INSANELY determined and great under pressure. * Chloe will lower the rope for him and he'll have her climbing pyton as well, which should both help his odds.
Cons: * I can't imagine traveling so persistently without resting much has been kind to his limp, lol. * He hasn't eaten anything except a blackberry in, like, 2 days. It's not to the point where he's fainting from hunger or anything (and as noted above, he's good at performing difficult physical feats even when he's hurt/not in the best condition/under duress), but I still feel like this is worth noting. * He's still got that cough, too.
