Twenty-Three: *He hobbled up to Nathan and touched the chains around his wrists, causing them to suddenly pop open.* "These are Neuron specific chains."
Nathan: "What does that mean?"
Twenty-Three: *He bent down and touched the chains on Nathan's ankles, causing them to pop open.* "They respond to a certain type of Neurons. This allows certain warriors to be held accountable for any mix-ups."
Nathan: "Why are you doing this?" *He grunted in a cautious-like manner, rubbing his wrists with discomfort.*
Twenty-Three: "You need to question my good will, sir?"
Nathan: "So.." *He glanced across the cell, implying how he was going to get out.*
Twenty-Three: *He glanced at Luna, looking at her eyes in thought.* "Sir?"
Nathan: "What?" *He continued to rub his wrists in discomfort.*
Twenty-Three: "May you please guide this lady-..?" *He purposely prolonged the last word, as if he wanted to know her name.*
Luna: "Luna."
Twenty-Three: "Heh heh." *He awkwardly chuckled and walked up to the stone wall, placing his hand on it.* "Sorry, madam."
Luna: "Madam?"
Twenty-Three: "I mean, Luna."
Luna: "Pssht." *She shook her head, as if she wasn't used to Trevour's type of personality.*
Nathan: *He awkwardly grabbed Luna's arm and lifted her up, focusing his attention to Trevour.* "I got her. What now?"
Luna: "Man, you stink."
Nathan: *He frowned in response.* "You aren't smelling like daisies yourself."
Luna: "Pssht." *She blindly looked away with a frown.*
Twenty-Three: *He closed his eyes and focused, causing a brown glyph to zigzag and spiral underneath him.* (I need to charge my Neurons and focus my Astragons-)
Nathan: *He instantly gazed at the forming glyph under Trevour and watched the last line connect, causing itself to glow.* (Rostical!)
Luna: "Wat's that sound?"
Nathan: "It's the Rostical's glyph."
Luna: "..."
Twenty-Three: (My biggest worries is the massive Purity Zone. If they find out almost immediately about our escape and send out a captain ranking warrior... We'll be... Oh, gee. What a temperamental situation that would be.)
Luna: "What's happening? Why did it suddenly get warm in here?"
Nathan: "Warm? It's still cold."
Luna: "Maybe your stench is repelling the heat?"
Nathan: "Man, you're moody-"
Twenty-Three: "SWIRLING SANDPIT" *He shouted with an echoing voice and pushed forward, causing sand to violently spiral around his hand.*
Luna: "Wat's happenin'? What's that grainy sound-?"
Twenty-Three: *He pushed his entire arm into the wall, causing sunlight to shine on his face.* "Excellent. With a sturdy push, I was able to do it."
Nathan: (Despite this, his Rostical-) *He walked towards the tunnel Trevour made with gritted teeth.* (I still hate it.)
Luna: *She walked past Trevour and felt a draft.* "I swear, that wind is warm, aye?"
Twenty-Three: *He stared at Nathan and Luna's back, watching them walk through the tunnel.* (I hope nobody picked up on my Neuron signature.)
Luna: "And why did your voice echo-?" *She noticed her voice echo in the tunnel, causing her to become silent in a satisfied-like manner.*
Nathan: (I can't believe we're escaping Sorrowprax.. But, when did I get captured?)
Twenty-Three: (I hope we can make as much distance as possible before our departure has been noticed.) *He thought in a worried-like manner and hobbled after Nathan and Luna, causing a wall of sand to close up behind him.*
----------
*Tara and Thirty-Three stood outside the empty cell, staring at sand all over the ground in shock.*
Tara: "This..." *She hissed with surprise and anger.*
Thirty-Three: "I can't-..." (Trevour, you stupid dirty lamp.)
Tara: "I will report this to the Consultant immediately!"
Thirty-Three: (Trevour will get terminated-) "I will tell the Consultant-"
Tara: "Oh you will?" *She suddenly appeared behind Thirty-Three and grabbed his head with both hands.*
Thirty-Three: "What are you-?"
Tara: *She twisted to the side, violently snapping his neck.* "I interrogate people. Don't take me for a fool."
*Tara threw Thirty-Three to the side and ignored the growing shouts which were attracted to her sudden action.*
Tara: "You scum, be quiet!" *She screamed, causing the nearby prisoners to stop, filling the air with silence.* "Now I have to tell the Consultant what-.."
*Tara hissed under her breath and stepped forward, flashstepping out the facility, leaving a faint buzz-like noise behind her.*
----------
*Kath sat in a poorly lit room, sitting on a stool-like chair, listening to the sounds of quiet typing in the background.*
Kath: "Hermm?" *She pushed her glasses up with one finger and looked to the side, staring at a warrior typing.* "I just felt a Neuron signature down below."
Warrior: "There has been no alerts, ma'am."
Kath: "Do a detailed scan immediately."
Warrior: "Are you sure?"
Kath: "Why don't I see the scanner on the screen?" *She spoke with a stern voice and stared at the computer-like screen in front of the warrior.*
Warrior: "S-Scanning now!" *She spoke with a trembling voice, quickly typing on a long keyboard-like device.*
----------
*Trevour, Luna and Nathan all stepped outside, taking a deep breath of fresh air.*
Nathan: "Man, that feels great."
Luna: "Feels great, still stinks." *She glared in Nathan's general direction.*
Nathan: "Probably the air blowing your stench back in your face."
Luna: "Aha, funny.." *She grunted with no enthusiasm.* "At least we're out of that place, aye."
Twenty-Three: "We're still in the turbulence of things."
Luna: "Why?" *She sighed, staring out into space with an emotionless face.*
Twenty-Three: "Not only are we in a Purity Zone, but captains can flashstep."
Nathan: *He nodded his head and reached over his shoulder, gasping in shock.* (Crud! I don't have my sword!-)
Twenty-Three: *He noticed Nathan and Luna's awkward faces, causing him to step towards them.* "Allow me, sir?" *He offered to help Luna.*
Nathan: "Take her." *He spoke in a deep voice and stepped away from Luna.*
Luna: "Umm, how 'bout no?" *She grunted and hit Trevour's hand away by coincidence.*
Twenty-Three: "I'll guide your feet-"
Luna: "I'm not disabled!"
Twenty-Three: "Errr? Heh heh." *He awkwardly chuckled, as if he didn't know what to say.*
Nathan: (She doesn't let her disability get in the way. I like that-)
Luna: *She stepped forward and tripped on a clump of ankle high grass, falling to her knees.* (My eyes.. Why hasn't my vision returned yet-?!)
Twenty-Three: "Madam?"
Luna: (Bloody shit nuggets..) *She raised her arm, keeping her head lowered in a defeated-like manner.*
Twenty-Three: *He gently pulled Luna up and held her by the elbow.* "I'll merely guide your step, nothing more, madam."
Luna: "Wateva."
Nathan: *He turned around and stared at a large castle, hiding behind an enormous stone wall.* "Sorrowprax.."
Twenty-Three: "Let's go." *He awkwardly chuckled and hobbled forward, causing Nathan to follow.*
----------
*Kath sighed on her high chair-like stool and casually checked for dirt under her nails, waiting for the warrior's response.*
Warrior: *She eagerly stared at the screen and noticed a red dot suddenly appear on a blueprint version of Sorrowprax.* "You're right, ma'am-" *She sounded surprised.*
Kath: "Of course I am. I wouldn't be at my level if I wasn't good at what I do."
Warrior: "Y-Yes-"
Kath: "Instead of stuttering like a shoe kissing commoner, give me results instead. I don't want
excuses, I want results!"
Warrior: "There was a non-captain breach of Neurons in the lower quarters-"
Tara: *She knocked at the door and walked into the poorly lit room, catching Kath's attention.* (The Consultant.. I admire her so much-)
Kath: "Triple your efforts." *She spoke in a stern voice and swivelled on the stool, facing Tara in a curious-like manner.*
Warrior: "Y-Yes!" *She lowered her head, purposely typing faster on the keyboard.*
Kath: "What have you learned about these rebellious peasants attacking my warriors? Is it an uprising? A rebellion? Or a pesky guild?"
Tara: *She stopped in the middle of the room and bent down to one knee causing the sounds of leather stretching to be heard.* "None, ma'am." *She lowered her head in respect.*
Kath: "Do I need to hold your hand? Or can you flow your sentences without guidance? What did you learn?"
Tara: "She possibly had Neuron damage in the brain. She didn't know what basic things were, like Neurons and Astragons."
Kath: "How absurd."
Tara: "She claimed she was from a city that I've never heard of, fufufu."
Kath: "Herm? Very well. Dispose of them."
Tara: "Ma'am-" *She nodded her head in understanding.*
Kath: "And, I'd like you to follow up on a Neuron signature."
Tara: "Perhaps the two are linked. I have bad news to report."
Kath: "Herm?" *She sounded unimpressed, pushing her glasses up.*
Tara: "It appears two of the prisoners have escaped-"
Kath: "Escaped?!" *She stood up in anger, causing the lights to flicker in the room.*
Tara: (She!-... She is so powerful-)
Kath: "You are to go immediately and slaughter them!"
Warrior: *She discreetly listened to the conversation.* (Sending a Black Brigade warrior?)
Ridley: *He stepped forward from the shadows, glancing at Kath's back.* "I couldn't but overhear this unfortunate ordeal." *He smiled and clapped his hands together, walking up to Kath's side.*
Tara: (The-The other Consultant! What a privilege-)
Ridley: "With respect, Kath." *He mumbled and coughed to clear his throat.* "You are to capture these laughable fodder and bring them back to me alive."
Kath: (Herm?) *She leant back, as if she was allowing Ridley to give leadership.*
Ridley: "This is an S classed mission." *He looked at Tara with an excited smirk.* "I would also like you to communicate this to your leader."
Tara: (Blake-)
Ridley: "And they are to participate if you have any trouble."
Tara: "Sir." *She looked up, as if she wanted to say something.*
Ridley: "Speak." *He spoke on his breath and waved his hand, as if it was a privilege for her to speak.*
Tara: "There were three prisoners that have escaped-"
Kath: "Three? I was told one had died during the interrogation?!"
Tara: "That is correct. It was one of our own."
Kath: *She silently formed fists, trying to control her anger.* (Not only do we have a heretic, but this person has broken one of the warrior codes and used Remenistal without being a captain-)
Ridley: "Do you have any information regarding these people?"
Tara: "Sir! One is a Scoldrant User without a partner, one with no traceable Neurons and Astragons, and the other surprisingly is a Rostical User. Although, very weak-"
Kath: "You are dismissed! Out of my sight."
Tara: "Ma'am! Sir!" *She quickly stood up and punched her chest, flashstepping out of the room.*
Kath: *She listened to a faint buzzing sound whoosh from the area where Tara stood.* "What is the meaning of this sudden interest, Ridley?"
Ridley: "Let's just call it curiosity. I'm fascinated to hear more about these random places this person in strange clothing talked about." *He smirked, as if he knew more than he let on.*
Kath: "Very well. But I will be terminating this warrior."
Ridley: "That's fine by me, haha. There's no mercy for the damned. Regardless, my curiosity lies with this woman."
Kath: "They are merely delaying the inevitable."
Ridley: "I concur." *He spoke with a smile, causing Kath to chuckle.*
----------
*Rachael sniffed and stepped away from Lezard, slowly turning away.*
Twortz: "Excuse me." *She spoke under her breath in disgust, catching Lezard's attention.* "You need to call an ambulance."
Rachael: "..."
Lezard: "Oh, golly? What's that?"
Rachael: *She closed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.* "Are you serious?" *She spoke on her breath and looked up in determination, glancing at Twortz.*
Twortz: "I can't berh- breathe."
Rachael: *She slowly walked towards Twortz, stepping with a limp.* "Where are you hurt?"
Twortz: *She wrapped her arms around her chest.* (It's getting worse-)
Rachael: "We're both hurt, we don't know where we are, and now we have nowhere to go."
Lezard: "I know where we are, I'm not hurt. Maybe you children could come with me? Keep me company.."
Rachael: "Could you please get help?" *She staggered up to Twortz and bent down, inspecting her body.*
Twortz: (I'm sorry..) *She thought to herself with the mind frame of giving up.*
Lezard: *He hobbled up to Twortz and Rachael, catching their attention.* "I can help.."
Rachael: "... Please.. Just, call for help.." *She spoke in distress, as if she realised the severity of Twortz's condition.*
Lezard: "Okies.." *He slowly inhaled and spread his arms over Twortz, staring at her in a serious-like manner.* "Due to her wounds, I will need to use the Rostical's incantation."
Rachael: "You're a nice guy, full of life, but please-"
Lezard: "Quick internal light-" *He frowned with concentration, causing a faint white glyph to draw itself around his feet.*
Rachael: "H-Huh?" *She looked down and stared at the forming glyph in shock.* "A platform?" *She spoke on her breath, as her face slightly glowed white from the light.*
Twortz: *She squinted her eyes, listening to the sounds of people laughing at her.* (Even to the end.. They still laugh at me-)
Lezard: "INVOKING AURA" *He shouted with an echoing voice, ignoring sudden gusts of warm air which blew around him.*
Twortz: "What is that.. Light-? Karh-?!" *She suddenly gagged in pain, watching a swirl of warm light flash around her chest.*
Rachael: *She stared at the light with a dropping jaw and slowly reached forward, gasping as the light swirled through her hand.* "I-It feels like warm water."
*The sounds of bones cracking back into place caused Twortz to scream in pain.*
Twortz: "It hurts?" *She spoke with a wheeze, but suddenly inhaled in relief.* "I can-?"
Lezard: "Phew! That was a little harder than I thought, bwarharh." *He lowered his arms and stepped forward with a loss of balance.*
Rachael: "You can talk normally-?"
Twortz: *She stood up and stared at Lezard in disbelief and gratitude.* "How-? The light-?"
Rachael: "Twortz, your bones-?" *She looked up, as if she was shocked Twortz could stand in such a manner.*
Twortz: "What are you?"
Lezard: "Bwarharh, I'm flattered. I'm just a traveller."
Rachael: *She slowly stood up, as if she wasn't sure what was happening.* "What was that light-?"
Lezard: "So, now that I have your delicious attention, could you care to give me an answer?"
Twortz: "For what?"
Lezard: "About occupying me?"
Rachael: "I..."
Lezard: "Ouchies-" *He noticed the cut on Rachael's face, causing him to reach out towards her.*
Rachael: "What are you-?"
Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *His voice echoed, as he focused on the cut.*
Rachael: "Sounds like a magic spell-?" *Light glowed in the wound, queuing it to start rapidly healing.*
Lezard: *He smiled
and lowered his arm in accomplishment.* "Delicious."
Rachael: (It stings like an anti-bacterial cream was used-) *She frowned and placed her hand on her cut, causing her to rub her skin in shock.* (It's smooth?)
Twortz: *She grabbed Rachael's chin and inspected her face in amazement.* "Y-You have no cut?!"
Lezard: "Yuppers, bwarharh." *He chuckled with happiness and stepped back, giving Twortz and Rachael space.*
Rachael: "How did you heal?"
