Ludwig was not pleased with the direction Gilbert's plan was going, not in the least. He worked at the second screw faster, however, he wasn't fast enough. Evidently. As Feliciano had arrived before he could get the bolt halfway unthreaded.
Wunderbar...
"Gilbert." Ludwig warned before his brother had the chance to open his mouth, however, it went unheeded. "Gilbert!" he repeated, his voice louder, and far more commanding. Again, Gilbert did not listen to him.
And Gilbert knew that was a sure fire way to piss Ludwig off.
"GILBERT!" Ludwig's voice thundered through the vent as the lazer began to sear through the metal. "STOP! Right now!" Now, it was no longer the fact that he was stuck. It was the fact that Gilbert was using a high powered lazer to cut through -his- ship! His own safety was the least of his worries as the beam shot through in bursts as it moved slowly across the panel. "Gilbert! I swear to -" And then came the very colorful strain of German that consisted of expletives and very unique ways of how he was going to injure his older sibling. But it was followed by "YOU'RE TEARING UP MY SHIP!"
He was almost in a panic when the beam hit the halfway point.

Gilbert just frowned as he looked over at Feliciano, still lasering through the metal. "Um, I don't think that's wise, Feli. This is, uh...a family heirloom. Yes. Belonged to my father. He said...if anyone were to use it outside of the Beilschmidt family, uhh...his spirit would haunt them forever!" He lifted up his other arm to prove his point.
But then Kiku came back, with the stepladder. "Yeah, we're fine. Dont' worry about it, he'll be down there - "
"YOUR'E TEARING UP MY SHIP!" Ludwig's bellowing voice just made him frown and he stopped the laser.
"Fine, fine. Have it your way," Gilbert said with a huff, pocketing the device. "Kiku has a ladder. I guess you can get down from there." He crossed his arms, looking up at the scene. He didn't do that much damage. Not more than was already there, at least.

Feliciano's eyes went wide as he listened to Gilbert tell him about the laser. Gullible and as completely trusting as always he completely believed the lie that's delievery was shoddy at best.
"Oh I see! Sorry for asking!" He winced as Ludwig's voice bellowed throughout the hallway before letting his eyes fall shut as he laughed,
"Besides, I wouldn't want your father's spirit haunting me! Ghosts are scary, and especially your father's if he's anything like Ludwig!"

Kiku wondered if he really should have left in the first place, considering the state things were in now. It wasn't that they were BAD just that Ludwig was probably going to strangle Gilbert once he got out of the ceiling. Well, it wasn't like this wasn't a normal day for them anyway.
The Japanese man walked up once the laser was turned off, opening the ladder and stepping onto it before pausing. Ludwig would probably want to come down himself...he looked up, frowning a bit, considering the metal was half melted, Ludwig still looked stuck, and his legs wouldn't reach the ladder in the state he was in now, "I could---" Nope, nope. Helping would include touching Ludwig and...well...
Clearing his throat Kiku stepped back off of the ladder, calling up into the vent, "Can you reach the ladder with your feet Ludwig-kun?"

Things had been quiet on the Axis recently, too quiet. This had Bella a bit worried, because experience had taught her that when things got too quiet around here, something bad was about to happen. Her suspicions were confirmed when she began to hear odd noises echoing from the ventilation system and further strengthened about five minutes later when she poked her head out of the infirmary to see Kiku dashing down the hall towards the bridge with a ladder and a first aid kit.
Bella shook her head, sighing. "Better go see what's going on before one of those boys does something stupid."

((ONE OF THOSE BOYS ALREADY HAS.))
He could feel the metal giving beneath him. His weight was causing strain against the gaping gore the laser had bore through the metal. And that wasn't good at all. The sudden urge to forcefully wring Gilbert's neck was beginning to rear its ugly head in Ludwig's mind once more. And oh, he was seriously contemplating doing so when he got out of there.
Ludwig braced himself by pressing his palms against the vents side walls. He sucked in and held his breath, the motion granting him the barest of space between himself and the edge of the panel. it was enough to relieve the pressure, but not enough to allow him to free himself.
Well, this was a pain in the ass.
He had just begun to unscrew another bolt when Kiku's voice managed to waft up to him once more.
"...There's a ladder?" Stupid question, but well, he couldn't exactly see under neath himself.

Krai awoke to echoed shouts from the hallway. Wait... When did jibun fall asleep?
He looked around for a minute, taking note that there was nobody else in the infirmary. Oh, right. It got quiet, and jibun used that opportunity to catch up on my sleep.
Yawning slightly, Krai rose from his chair, and pushed it back into his desk, rearranging the blank papers he was using as a makeshift pillow into an organized fashion.
"Well, jibun had better see what the others are up to, ana~," he said as he casually strolled through the door.

Gilbert just rolled his eyes and looked at Kiku with a small, but thankful, nod. "...Yes, Ludwig, there's a ladder. It's right under your feet. You'll have to hop a little bit...or, whatever, but yes, it's there. You shouldn't fall unless your knees buckle on you or something," he muttered with a small sigh, crossing his arms over his chest and looked back at Feliciano, who was staring at him wide-eyed.
"....YES. He's just like Ludiwg. A spitting replica. And you know what is weird...he left me with that laser-" he held it up to show Feliciano, "-just before leaving home... never to return..." That last part was true. More or less. The laser was actually a junkyard find about a year ago, but Feli didn't have to know that.
He looked up right as Bella entered the room and he cleared his throat, straightening up. "...Guten tag, Bella." Okay maybe he liked her. But just becuase she was hot.
"The captain is currently attempting to recover from the embarassment of getting stuck in the ceiling. He'll be back to himself in just a few minutes."

Feliciano peered around Gilbert to see Bella walk in. He went over and hugged her before stepping back and smiling widely. "Ciao Bella!"
He then saw Krai walk up to the group and went over to hug him too, intent on explaining what was going on to him. "Ciao Krai! Ludwig got stuck in the ventilation shaft when he was trying to fix something, maybe because he eats too many potatoes which is partly my fault because I make them for him all the time. But I like making Ludwig happy because he doesn't yell, he's scary when he yells.
Anyway! Gilbert used his father's haunted laser thingy to try and cut him out but Ludwig started yelling for him to stop and now we have a ladder and Ludwig is going to try to climb out!" He closed his eyes as he laughed, "It's been crazy!"

As Bella walked in, she was greeted with quite the odd site. Ludwig's legs were dangling from the ceiling with Gilbert yelling about a ladder placed just under him, Feliciano looking on with a mix of excitement and worry, and Kiku just looking nervous about the whole situation. Gil was the first to note her presence and she simply responded with a kirt nod. Feli then quickly bounded over to give her a hug. They then both proceeded to recap how Ludwig got stuck. As this was happening she noticed Krai walk in behind her. Good! I'm going to need help with this...
She let out a sigh and smiled at Feli once he'd finished his long winded explanation. "I see..." she then turned to Krai, "Can you hand me the first aid kit? We're going to need it before this is all said and done."

Oh, more people were coming. Great. Ludwig wasn't going to be happy about his predicament being known throughout the whole ship. And now Feliciano had just given a long winded, albeit shorter version of what was going on...and then proceeded to call Ludwig chubby. Kiku couldn't help the faint nervous look on his face, nor the action of rubbing his temples a little harder than he meant to. He hated when everyone yelled, and Ludwig was more than likely going to be yelling at everyone at the end of this slew of shenanigans.
What a nice start to this already nice day.
The Japanese man nodded his hello to Krai and Bella. He wasn't exactly close with the other two, but that didn't mean he couldn't be polite, although it was a wordless sort of polite. Absentmindedly, Kiku stepped forward a bit, closer to the ladder in case he needed to guide Ludwig's legs down...without exactly TOUCHING his legs. He'd...he'd figure it out. But it was ONLY if Ludwig needed help being guided down to the ladder of course! He wouldn't do it just to touch Ludwig. Of course not. That would be exceedingly creepy...
Oh God Kiku, just...just stop. Your train of thought is going every which way and you should be focusing on the task at hand. Not on the prospect of touching Ludwig's legs or being in close proximity to him. Its not skin on skin. It doesn't count.
Kiku exhaled a little exhasperatedly at himself before glancing at Bella and Krai when she mentioned the first aid kit, "I have the smaller one, if you need it. I don't think Ludwig-kun is actually hurt per se...but it I suppose it wouldn't do any harm to be prepared for it." He smiled faintly, looking back at his captain's legs searching blindly for a foothold on the ladder.
Stop staring at his legs. Stop starting at his legs. Stop staring at his legs.

God. This was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Ludwig's levels of frustration were quickly skyrocketing. And was that a headache coming on? Oh that was a head ache. A really big one. And he had the sudden urge to smash his fist into everyone's face. Especially Gilbert's. Always especially Gilbert's.
This was not a spectator sport. This was a legitimate problem, that he was well on the way to solving himself, and she sure as hell didn't need an audience. What were they all doing here, anyway?
"Don't all of you have jobs to be doing?" the tone in Ludwig's voice was clearly commanding, if a bit scathing. If it wasn't obvious before, it was obvious now that his mood had definitely turned rather sour.
His foot found the top of the ladder. Well, at least he had something solid to prop himself on. This challenge suddenly became a notch easier.

Gilbert glanced over at everyone else before looking back up at Ludwig. "I, actually, do not have a job to be doing. Other than making sure you don't break your neck." He yawned. Really, if Ludwig had just taken his advice the firs ttime he would have been down by now and none of this ridiculousness would have to continue.
"But I suppose everyone else does...but I think the ship is running just fine. I mean, I don't know. No turbulence has been felt so far...except for when you got yourself stuck, of course...I think everyone deserves a break, though, and..." his voice trailed off when he could practically /feel/ the heat coming from Ludwig. Didn't stop him from silently grinning, though.

Feliciano kept babbling on and on to anyone who would listen, he gave his opinion on the situation and his thoughts as to exactly why Ludwig had gotten stuck, he did eat a lot of potatoes...
He heard Ludwig angrily ask about people's jobs and he bounced over to the ladder the captain was now standing on. "I finished my job! I gave the thruster a good thwacking and it's good as new! ... Well for about four hours of course until it starts sputtering again. We really should get that fixed some time because your repair job obviously didn't work. But anyway, my job is done and now I'm here to help you!"

Krai returned to reality after a few minutes of contemplating the logistics of what he had just been told. "... He's stuck... In a hole in the floor? How, exactly, does one accomplish such a feat, ana~?"
Krai shook his head for a second, then realized what was happening. "Jibun knew there was something jibun was forgetting! The first aid kit is still in the medical station. It doesn't look like we'll need it for a while. I don't think there's anything in there that can patch up an ego, ana~."
The Thai man smiled wryly, then saluted Ludwig's boots, as they were the closest thing to salute. "Captain, jibun will do my job when it becomes necessary to mend a physical wound, which a fall from that height might cause. Until a need for medical treatment arises, though, jibun happens to have very little to do, ana~. Watching this satisfies a certain sense of duty, and, if it goes poorly for anyone involved, you will have someone here to help."
