Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 “Fine,” Ne’ik said, pretending he had some sort of control over the matter.
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 "Such a toddler," Ji muttered, smirking to himself.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 As soon as he was done tying his knot, Elya added a couple flairs of her own, including an undertuck to keep it away from prying fingers. "There."
Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 “So… what the Blight am I supposed to do? I’m not sitting around all day and waiting for you to come back.”
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 "Count sheep," Ji suggested. "Maybe it'll get you to shut up."
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 "Actually, yes you are." Elya also brought out a granola bar. "Also you can have this if you get hungry."
Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Ne’ik made a rude gesture at both of them, but grudgingly took the granola bar.
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 3, 2022 Author Posted January 3, 2022 "Very mature," Ji commented, rolling his eyes.
Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 It took all of Ne’ik’s willpower not to hurt Ji. There would be room for that when he escaped.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 "Rest up if you can." Elya said, straightening her jacket. "The sooner you heal, the better." With that she gestured to the others that they should probably get going. Quote Uhh... who'm'I summoning?

Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Quote By the way, Elat’s knot is completely sound, right? Like there’s no way the undertuck is going to slip free. @Channelknight Fadran Edited January 3, 2022 by Szeth_Pancakes
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Quote She wouldn't have spent half a fortune on the cord if she couldn't tie a decent knot. Also *Elya
Mystic Syn she/her Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 Quote He's saying you need really big scissors.
Fallapede Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Quote I'm a little lost as to what's going on at the moment, but I'm happy to hop back in whenever appropriate.

Quote You, Ji, and Elya are going to go attack some Pacis soldier distribution centers, I think.
Fallapede Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) "I'm sure this'll go swimmingly, but I'll tag along on the offchance that this ingenious plan backfires somehow and you need an exit. Unless you have any objection?" Raviid pulled out a cigarette, lighting it by slowing it down and then flicking his wrist down with massive force. Inhaling, he glanced at the others.

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 "None whatsoever." Elya smiled at him.

Fallapede Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 "I'm fine with either, but I suspect that was rhetorical. Let's be off, then."
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Quote Da-na-na-na-na-naa! "It's larger than I thought it would be," Elya said, peeking at the building from around the corner.
Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Quote Meanwhile, back at the hospital… (I’ll assume they’ll be gone for at least 20 minutes) Ne’ik sighed, slumping down on the cot. He unwrapped the granola bar and took a bite. It was good. If Ne’ik had a prisoner, he wouldn’t have given them granola bars. Now’s my chance to escape, he thought. They’re all gone. But how am I going to get rid of this cord? Ten minutes later, he’d gotten absolutely nowhere. He’d tried untying the knot; sawing at the cord with one of his tail barbs, then a piece of broken pottery; and even trying to bite it off with his sharpened canines, but nothing worked. The undertuck Elya had placed wasn’t budging, and he hadn’t even made a dent in the cord. He kicked the cot in frustration. I’m going to spend the rest of my life tied to a cot in an abandoned hospital, he thought. He kicked the cot again, harder. It rattled with the force of it, so he decided not to kick it again, instead sitting down on it and taking a sulking bite out of the half-finished granola bar. Messing with the knot some more couldn’t hurt, he thought. He put his foot up on the cot, and twisted the cord towards him. Now, let’s see here… He gasped, a bit louder than was probably necessary. The undertuck had slipped free — most likely when he’d been kicking the cot. He grinned, and began to work. Quote Edited January 5, 2022 by Szeth_Pancakes
