The Kludge's Guide to the Universe | Dangershop, Wednesday Afternoon (Week 4)

"Now that you've mastered the art of the clever escape, it's time to master the speedy one."

Harper tapped a control, bringing up the empty cells from last week. "After all, breaking out of your cell is only the beginning."

"Your objective today is to make it to the spaceport on the other side of this dangerous, seedy city. You can split up, stay together, try to meet up with other escapees, then beg, bluff, and bribe your way though the city. One caveat though, keep violence to a minimum, not only does it attract attention, attacking your pursuers makes it personal. This goes double for deaths. You kill someone? You fail the exercise, as does everyone you're with at the time."

[ooc: The guards and inhabitants of the city are moddable for the most part ~~since I'm kinda brain dead tonight~~ but there might be a surprise or two.]

[ooc: OCD threads ~~coming~~ are up. Post away!]

For group escapes.

As soon as the guards are taken care of, Aeryn nods down the hall, walking carefully and quietly and sticking closer to the walls. "Two standing guard there," she hisses, and nods the other way.

"Do you want me to use my sock again as a distraction?" Jamie whispered back.

Aeryn pauses. "Don't let them get used to the sock. Let the sock stay a surprise," she advises carefully. "Just be quick and quiet." And she slips around the corner in the opposite direction of the guards, expecting Jamie to follow.

Jamie pouts slightly and follows Aeryn.

He does have his puppet ready just in case the need arises.

The guards haven't noticed them yet, so Aeryn keeps an eye out for things like exit signs. She doesn't see any, but does see a door at the end of the hall that could be a stairwell. She continues in that direction, keeping an eye out as she opens the door.

Jamie follows Aeryn through the door and is about to say something when he feels something pressed against his head.

Two guards stand off to the side pointing their guns at the both of them.

"Just where do you think you're going?" One of them asks.

Jamie holds up his hand which is covered by the sock puppet. "Just for a walk handsome. Care to join us?" the sock puppet says.

As the guards share a look of "Buh?", Jamie makes a fist with the sock puppet and punches one of the guards straight in the face leaving the other one for Aeryn to handle.

See, this is what Aeryn likes, and she's able to knock the other guard out with one well-placed heel of the hand to the right place. And then she steals his weapon, because that's a smart thing to do, no violence or not. You never know.

"Did you just punch him with a sock puppet?" she whispers, continuing down the stairwell.

Jamie grabs the other guards weapon as well as the guards radio and puts the earpiece into his ear as he followed Aeryn down the stairwell. "I sure did. And you doubted the sock puppet. I think someone owes it an apology."

Jamie holds up the sock puppet for Aeryn to issue the suggested apology.

Aeryn continues down the stairs wonders if she somehow attracts a type. "How about after this is over, all right?" she asks, hoping he'll forget.

Jamie nods but it's obvious he's not really listening. "Nothing about us escaping yet," Jamie said pointing at the radio and then he started fiddling with the weapon. "Is there a stun setting on this?"

"Doesn't seem to be," she says. "If you're really that concerned about it, make sure the safety is on and hit them with it."

When the stairs end, she stops at the door, listening. "Sounds clear," she says, but lowers her voice anyway.

Jamie pops open the door and jumps out pointing his gun around with exaggerated movements and obviously imitating what he's seen on TV.

"Clear!"

"Okay," Xander says, wide-eyed. "Right, then. Let's go."

Continued from here: (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/961906.html?thread=51006578#t51006578)Sam would have winked, but she was too busy walking quickly. Once they were clear of the guard-filled hallway, she stopped, trying to listen to her surroundings and hoping she could get a clue as to which way was out.

"Do you see any natural light?"

"No," he shook his head, ran further along the corridor and found a hallway to their left with a window at the end of it. "Here!" he called out.

"Nice, Cameron," Sam said, checking the window. "Do you see an alarm wire? Because right now, I'm thinking going out the window is our best bet."

"Does it matter? They know we're gone," Cameron said, studying the wall but unable to make anything out.

"Sometimes the alarms send an alert as to where you are, and we wouldn't want that," Sam said, running her hand along the sill. "I think we're good. What I wouldn't give for a glass cutter, though."

Cameron realised it was probably a good thing he got locked up with Sam. "Will breaking it do?" he asked.

"If you can muffle it, sure," Sam said, keeping an eye on the hallway. "We don't want every guard knowing where we are."

"Uh... Sure," he really had no clue how muffled this would be, but it wasn't like they had much choice. He pulled off his shirt and wrapped it around his fist. "Okay, step back."

Sam stepped back, absolutely not staring at Cameron, because that would be weird. Pretty, but weird.

He'd never actually done this before and he really hoped he wasn't going to end up just hurting his hand and leaving the glass unbroken. That'd look stupid.

Taking a deep breath, he hit out at the window and luckily it broke without protest. Yay for image saved. Using the shirt, he tried to break away all the shards from the wood and brushed them from the windowsill so they couldn't cut themselves climbing through.

"You first?" Sam suggested.

"So much for being a gentleman," he teased as he thoroughly shook out his shirt before putting it back on. He stuck his head out of the window and groaned. "Sure, we couldn't just be on the first floor. There's a ledge going to the fire escape," he told Sam as he already started to climb out.
