Oh! Armen agreed! While he had nothing to offer, knowing he'd have Heidi's back was a huge relief. That alone would have been reason enough to jump in. But then Hiraya chimed in, offering his belt and a small rope. She waited patiently for his makeshift... well, she wasn't sure what to call it. Belt-string-cord-pully? In any case, once he threw it at her, she eagerly caught it. And just as eagerly she wrapped it around her waist, securing it firmly.
She tugged the belt and cord once to ensure it was safe and looked up with the brightest smile. Even though she had always been radiant, nothing could match the joy and warmth in her eyes. The suns of Tatooine paled in comparison. "I'll come back with the plushies we've all worked hard for!" she said excitedly. The "Heidz" caught her off guard, but not in a bad way; clearly, it was a name that made her happy.
Heidi took one last look at the rules board before diving in; she wasn't going to break the rules to do this, obviously.
- No Force (obviously)
- Only once per turn (well, she'd just had her turn, so this was a new turn)
- Don't stick your hand in the machine's opening (she assumed this was to avoid grabbing a toy from the machine, which meant that one of the rules had to be that the toy could only fall through the opening)
And with that in mind, Heidi swung her legs over the edge. "If I pull on the cord, please pull me back up! Ready?!" She was ecstatic. After Heidi received the all-clear, she started to lower herself into the machine, trusting that the cord Hiraya was gripping would slow her down.
Heidi immediately noticed that it was far more cramped than she imagined, thanks to her bushy tail. It awkwardly curled up above her own body, trying to not tangle the string. It obscured some of the light from above, but thankfully, the entire machine was made of glass, so there were plenty of other outside light sources to guide the way. To ensure she didn't touch anything that wasn't a plushy, Heidi made sure to mimic the shape of the claw with her body, her legs and arms extending downwards, aiming at the plushies.
Only problem; There were so many plushies from her point of view that she had no idea where to aim. "It was on the right, right?" Heidi's voice was half-muted, trapped between the four walls of glass, but the sound managed to reach the two Jedi.
