[ this is such slander lucien was the one who started the biting and now even in a dream world viktor can't escape it. anyway he is ignoring everything else happening to watch Rodya headbutt a guy because COME ON that's incredible. he'll do his damndest to wriggle free of the guards, taking his tray and keeping it under one arm.
[ She gives Viktor a cheering whistle because yeah that's her boy (?????). Somewhere in the back of her mind, and in her vague memories of the Eudora which feel so insignificant and far away, she's fairly sure Viktor was not like this and this is probably character slander, but then she remembers that according to the schedule, she has until Wednesday to fully develop her brain, so this is fine. Go Vikky!
Over here though, she's going to grab Lucien by the wrist and help pull him up as she wriggles free of the guard's grasp who now is dealing with a bleeding nose. Sorry! And then she's gonna run for the door, yoinking trays off the tables to leave debris behind them. ]
Remember the way there?
[ Does Arkham have elevators, I'd give something more concrete but I haven't played these games / read this series so. I am in your hands. ]
[What is the point of CYOAs if not slandering all of your murder friends?
Anyway, it's bold of Lowe to imply that that being canon familiar would help you understand the layout for this place. The layout changes based on what is plot convenient? Even the type of cells they have change from one episode to another in the HQ show, help me.
They will know, based on past experience, that they are currently on the first floor. Going down the hallway to their left will lead them to cellblock A, and past that, after taking a few turns, a couple of security checkpoints, the reception hall, and the exit. To their right, they can find cellblock B, more security checkpoints, but also a lift that they could potentially use to get to the upper floors. The only issue is that the lift requires an employee keycard to be operated.
The five guards they left behind in the mess hall try to chase after them. Two of them get tackled by the now rioting inmates, but the three of them that rolled over 15 (20, 19 and 18 oofa doofa) manage to get past the other inmates, over the trays, slippery porridge floor and knocked over chairs, chasing after them as Lucien and Rodion run for the hallway. The ones who rolled a nat fucking 20 and the one who rolled a 19 lunge for them, trying to tackle and subdue them. Lucien in particular is going to get football tackled by Mr. Nat 20 himself. Good luck.]
[ then he gets tackled. what if he just dies. we honor a nat 20 in this house.
no well I imagine he is absolutely fucking going down. complete ass over teakettle in the hallway here and probably this pops something nasty in his back. but he did take his tray with him so once the ringing in his ears fades some he'll try the simultaneous "knee them in the crotch and whack them in the head with the tray" combo. get off!!!!!!!! ]
[ We honour a 19 in this house too. She didn't bring a weapon with her but she has the size advantage and can throw hands and is also crazy here so? Caution out the window, she'll immediately start struggling and wrestling the guard. She will also easily go for elbowing, kneeing... she will even go for a straight judo throw if she must. ]
The good news is that, with their combined efforts (and some really shitty rolls on some of the guards' parts), Lucien and Rodion manage to knock out two of the guards! The metal lunch tray has a nice dent in the shape of Mr. Nat 20's head. As for Mr. 19, he gets judo thrown so hard that he's left wheezing on the floor.
The bad news is that the remaining guard rolled a 19 and they're hitting their panic button, yelling into their walkie talkie for backup. Alarms start to blare and red lights flash in the hallway.
The kites chose me, Lucy. Knowing how to throw a punch is just the cherry on top.
[ She doesn't know why she's good at fighting. Her back story twists to fill in the gaps in real time, oh no. It's because freaks in the Backstreets tried to fight her for her kite and she had to fight tooth and nail to protect her honour. This is her magnum opus.
Rodion is also going for a straight high kick right in the guard's face as this is happening. Do any of them have visible ID cards or tags BTW. ]
[ into the walkie talkie: ]Is this shite on-- Good evening, fellow guards, but I believe there's been a terrible mistake on my part. Turns out I said Cellblock B when I meant Cellblock A. The trouble is in Cellblock A. Not B. They never taught me the proper alphabet at Arkham Elementary, which is why I suppose I ended up here, working through my anger issues for minimum wage at the Asylum. Anyway, Cellblock A. Thank you kindly.
[ well, he's a clown and not an actor, so we'll see how convincing this could possibly be. He has a fucking Irish accent. Maybe this guard is also Irish, who knows. ]
[ This is so funny. Meanwhile she'll yoink two tags off of two guards, one each, and they can keep moving towards that lift while Lucien eats hot chip and lies.
What are they wearing, is an overcoat included. She may just yoink that too for no other reason than for fun. Prison outfits are hot, they could be hotter with an overcoat.
Oh, and also their batons. Gimme. Then they can Lift. ]
Takashi, is that you? Are you making fun of Irish people again? [The racism continues.] Nevermind. You say Cellblock A? I thought you were near the Mess Hall, but whatever. We'll be there soon. Over and out.
[Well. That worked.
So, where are they headed? Cell block A and the exit is to their left. Cellblock B and the lift are to their right. They have to go through checkpoints down the hallway to get to either one, however.]
[ is there any part of him left in his AU addled brain that is like "what the fuck is Irish" well it's fine. he gives Takashi an extra kick in the head for being a racist. he is also getting himself a cool coat a card and a baton. Is there is also a hat ... his hair is fucking green. ]
Only way out is up, I'm afraid.
[ considering he sort of just. directed them all to Cellblock A and the Exit. It's fine! Retrieving the kite is IMPERITIVE. ]
The guards are dressed like this. They can steal their fit. No coats or hats, I'm afraid. Only narccore. They may also have a stun baton and a gun. The flamethrower is not included.
Traversing down the hallway, they will see that there are steel gates attached to the ceiling every 50 feet. Intuitively, from the time they've spent in Arkham, they know that these gates can be lowered remotely if any of the guards hit their panic buttons.
The checkpoint consists of a bored security guard sitting behind a table and a security gate. The guard is currently distracted playing Tetris and hasn't noticed them yet.]
[ well thats fine i dont know what I was thinking the guy has horns it's not a great disguise. but sure he'll steal a fit, why not. he's not wearing a tie though, he refuses to do that. ]
Just project confidence, alright? We just ... walk through. If you look like you know where you're going, no one will question it. We've important business.
[ maybe he's on a winning streak. he will just KEEP WALKIN' ON BY. So very confidently. His back is straight, his gaze is fixed ahead, he's tapping the baton on his hand like he intends to cave some prisoner skulls in. all normal here. ]
[A clown and a kitewoman skip merily down the piss stained beige brick road.
Cellblock B is a cellblock. Pretend there is another door in the far back, between the two staircases. Their own cells are somewhere around here, too. It's dimly lit and it is way too quiet considering that the general population here never knows when to shut up.
But more even more concerning than that: A figure stands in the far back of the room, standing between them and the other doorway.]
