[WELL.

That sure went a way. He's still pissed but now he's mild to moderately injured about it and of course being me it will be moderately. But that's fine because he's used to pushing through even Very Severe Injuries, so this doesn't do much for him except actually give him a moment to calm down from his hysteria.

Seeing someone turn into a wholeass Lisa Frank creature again definitely helped, too. If he can reach Vin from where he is, he'll try to give her a lil reassuring touch because he knows that must have been horrific and painful to watch even knowing it wasn't the real Kelsier.]

...Sorry. [That she's here, that she had to witness that. That none of them can do anything to stop these horrible things.] Are your injuries okay? Think we might be able to make a break for it?

[allomantic]

...I should have known that would happen no matter what I did. I'm sorry.

[for getting them arrested trying to help someone this place was always going to fuck over to mess with her... wild. she sounds a little bit miserable despite realizing that, but anyways.]

Yes. We should leave. [wait] What about your injuries, though?

[slashay]

Don't apologize. That's the way these places work... It's shitty, no matter how you slice it, and no matter how much you try to prepare for it.

[He couldn't even put sweet fake mindless Kanesan out of his misery. Anyway, for that:]

Don't worry about me. Even with this body, I'm a really durable sword. [Hopefully he dies about it. THESE METAL SHACKLES, THOUGH... He sighs, looking at them, and bonks his head against a wall.]

Don't suppose you know any lock-picking, do you?

[allomantic]

[it's a very kind sentiment that she's moving through like a punk to give him an incredulous expression.]

I never told you...? I've been working on thieving crews most of my life. Do you have anything I can use?

[hilarious that this is how he finds out]

[slashay]

[Oh shit??? This is like the equivalent of having an online friend where you know everything about their relationships and internal struggles but don't know what their legs look like. He learned everything first and then learned she's a thief...]

--You totally didn't, yeah. I don't think? [to be fair she might have and i aki just have a bad memory but it's funnier this way.]

What kinda thing could you use? Maybe there's something on this stupid outfit...

[allomantic]

[i also don't think she has and i love it for them]

A piece of metal, something long and thin... Preferably something with ridges or notches?

[slashay]

Something long and thin...

[He's just looking down at himself... NORMALLY HE'D HAVE BOBBY PINS TO WORK WITH but with his Ishgardian get-up he has none. Fortunately it looks like there's a lot of metal in this image, so between that and a 14 roll, he'll work at prying some stray bit of metal away from his armor. Thanks for beating him up, rude soldiers!! It's not perfect, but, like. It's not nothing either.

He'll try to throw it her way with his shackled handsies.]

Here - s'that okay?

[allomantic]

It is, thank you.

[i rolled a 16 for catching it, so she does!! but only a 10 for actually picking the lock. an attempt is being made.]

[disestablishment]

[ Did I mention the bird is also here in jail with you guys. ]

[slashay]

[As she's lock-pickin', he'll just sit here and contemplate this Horrible Situation they're in.]

...If this is gonna be one of those "you're here for years even though only a day passes in the prism" things, I'm gonna lose my mind.

[WHY'S THIS BIRD HERE. He's also giving it a look i guess, and raising his shackled hands while Vin works on hers to see if it'll land on him.]

[allomantic]

It even followed us here...?

[while hei is driving im making the decision that ten is enough to open the shackles a tiny bit, but she has to force them open the rest of the way, scratching her wrist as she does so.

anyways kashuu is shit out of luck as she tries on his shackles because

eli 🔪 vin Roll: [1] Result: 1]

[disestablishment]

[ OH? ]

[slashay]

[It's fine he'll just die about it.]

I guess so? Pretty weird.

[He does not like this bird that has done literally nothing to him... but it looks like more adventure is on the way so maybe he won't die about it i guess :\]
