the elevator? it moves between the up and the down but I do not know how it works. I bet Malcolm does but he won't help us to break it
we could pour paint on it? or water? it is a thing like magic but it is called electricity and its what makes lights work. I dont know how. but it doesn't like water. water makes electricity stop working or it makes it go on fire. both things would break the elevator?
see I might look stupid but I am very clever. Only, and here is a problem. We will need a lot of water to make it break. I don’t think a bottle of it would work. We need buckets and buckets. How would we carry it?
[ That is a substantial problem, and almost makes him want to take back the comment about it being clever. There's a benefit to not being face-to-face, it seems. ]
Perhaps water is no solution. They would see us coming with buckets. Best we find some breakable parts to damage.
[ Agron arrives at the elevator early, so that he can scope it out. He settles himself nearby but not too close, spending what little coin he has on a snack so it seems less suspicious that he's loitering. It wouldn't do to just storm the thing, that would serve no purpose. While he waits for Eponine, he strategizes. ]
[Eponine turns up with bulging bags emblazoned with the logo for Vandor, her shop, on them. They’re filled with paint and spray bottles but she’s stuffed a load of bath bombs and medicinal bottles, conveniently filled with paint too, on top. She’s dressed in her work uniform - a pretty summer dress and her hair pulled into a neat bun. When she finds Agron, she grins.]
Monsieur, will you help me with my so-heavy bags? I have lots of things to carry for today to go well.
[ He gives her--her pretty dress and her heavy bags--a questioning, doubtful look. Not exactly clothing made for making trouble. Still, he lifts one of the bags, taking a peek inside as he goes. He's never seen spray paint cans before, or any of the items inside this bag. He doesn't know how to determine the contraband from everything else. ]
I am dressed as I am ordered when outside the house. As a lady. That is how my Mistress wishes me to look.
[Eponine tuts at him. She hisses her telling off at him.] Be careful, you lummoxing idiot. Do you wish to throw it or wear it? Now -
[Louder, she says] And I am such a good girl that I do everything my Lady Qi'ra bids me to do. Even such a small thing as to how I wear my hair. All is dictated by her and I follow it always.
[ Alright, he's not actually an idiot, and he clocks on to what she's trying to do here. That doesn't keep him from gently rolling his eyes though, not at her attempt but at what she's forced to do for that Domina of hers. He just takes her by the arm and leads her to cafe seats close by. Not the best angle, but two people draws far more attention than one. ]
Look in the bag. See the strange lid? There is a hole in it and when you press the top, paint comes out. It’s called spray paint. Apparently in the future, there is such things as this too. And in the bottles, more paint. Only they’re in medicine bottles so it looks like what I am going to work with.
[ He may not understand it, but he accepts it with a nod. He lowers his voice as he speaks, pointedly not looking forward to the elevator (his intensity turned to her in the process). ]
There are two guards only, we will need some sort of distraction, if we can find reason to send them on a chase, we may have needed window to do damage and escape.

And paint as well.

Bring paint, I shall find a suitable hammer.

Or I could pretend to faint or something? But you will have to paint on your own then.
