Artifact 2.5

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Finally, neccessity wins out over pride, and Angela flops onto the Plane.

Either rope is the newest fashion statement in Fa'Diel, or she's been bound. At the elbows, wrists, knees, ankles. And of course there's a gag. No point in tying up a mage if you don't gag them, right?

After a pause to stare at the Plane and huff through her nose in relief that it's still here, she starts attempting to wriggle free of the ropes. ]

[In full uniform this time. He was intent on relax until he notices her.] Angela! [He's next to her soon as he can, working to get the ropes off her]

[In not his smartest move ever, Mu approaches from behind, and starts untying her wrists quietly]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Mmmmph. [ Unfortunately she can't communicate much with a gag in her mouth. :( ]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She makes a startled noise, before she realizes whoever is fiddling with her is trying to untie the ropes, and tries to look over her shoulder to see who it is. ]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Finishes her hands in short order before quickly removing the gag and getting to work on freeing her arms]

Should I even ask?

[contract_star]

[He comes up and wordlessly cuts through the rope, though he doesn't bother with the gag. As soon as he's done, he starts walking away.]

[Have a Soul.] What'd you get yourself into this time?

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Oh thank Goddess, she clears her throat and rubs her lips together. ] It's Koren's fault.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She sits up an unties the gag, then looks over her shoulder.

She should probably say thank you, but before she can control her mouth, it blurts out. ]

Failed miserably, I see.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmph. [ She's oh-so-eloquent with the gag in her mouth. ]

[contract_star]

Yes.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She bites her tongue this time, resisting the witty retorts and nastiness that pops to mind. ]

Still thinking of bringing her back?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Hold on, I'll have you out of here soon! [Struggles with the ropes, wishing he had a knife or something]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Mmmpphhnnn! Nnnnph! [ Watch those hands, Dino! ]

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[Exasperated sigh. He stretches out an arm and his arm starts glowing white. It transforms into a red and black curved blade, like a scythe. He then turns and slices through the ropes, careful not to nick her skin.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Nnngh! [ Okay. Hands free now. She pulls the gag out of her mouth. ] Sword and Tree, how did you do that?

[contract_star]

No. She's gone.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Were you two... [ She tips her head a little, gathering the ropes into a small pile. ] You know?

[contract_star]

[Without emotion,] We were married and had children together, though it was an experiment and wasn't actually real. The other you came to the wedding.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

I see. [ She frowns. ]

... She'd probably know how to comfort you. The other me. Sorry, but I don't.

[coolestscythe.livejournal.com]

[His arm turns back into an arm.] I'm a weapon. It's what I do.

[contract_star]

[He shrugs.] Doesn't matter.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Sorry, sorry! [Will finally get the ropes to loosen after a bit of work] Are you all right?

[lamb_of_gold]

Is it now? [Arms are free! Moving to her knees now.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Finally, she can pull the gag off. ] I would've appreciated the gag off first, but yes. I'm all right now.
