::goes over and stares at the lock, poking it occassionally with the swiss army knife::

Okay... picking it is out of the question, so I'm gonna have to break it. No visible screws, so...

::if Cally were a cartoon character, a lightbulb would now suddenly appear over her head::

Wait, we always used to get engine cracks in the winter, when water would drip in and freeze, busting out small bits...

::looks over at the ice, the crate of ice cream pints, and back at the lock::

Oh, I so totally have this.

::Cally goes over, and looks up at the light::

Alright, that's my heat source... but I gotta get the water down from here, over into the lock.

::pulls over the crate of Rocky Road pints, opens it, and starts her first step. She pulls off the lid, occasionally taking a lick of the ice cream, and then cuts the pint in half, shaking the ice cream free, and finally removing the bottom, so she has two vaguely half cylindrical pieces::

::She then duct tapes these pieces into a long, somewhat flexible troth::

::she then tapes this troth into place, one end by the lightbulb, the other leading directly into the door lock::

Now it's the easy part. ::starts chipping pieces of ice off of things and holds them up near the light bulb::

::grins:: Hope this works!

[ooc: I didn't want to god-mod it actually succeeding, unless that's okay?]

[OOC: This is your solution so feel free to god mod it through to the end. I have to go offline for the rest of the day and weekend. Results will be posted on Monday.]

::sadly, the water has too far to travel, and is simply refreezing further down on the troth::

Frak!

::frowns, and looks around her again::

Wait, the army knife won't work to pick the lock... but... ::pulls on her work gloves, and then reaches up to unscrew the lightbulb::

This should work. ::carefully smashes the light bulb, and removes the filament wires::

::kneels next to the lock, and begins trying to fiddle it open with the filament wires, starting to shiver from the cold::

Ha! I'm a frakking genius. ::the lock pops open::

Note to self, try the simpler plan first next time.
