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!]

"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!"

She waves a little to indicate quiet anyway. Just because you can't see someone doesn't mean they can't hear you. She steps into the hall, looking around and trying to orient herself. She doesn't see any exit in front of them, so she whispers, "Look for a back door," and continues walking, keeping the weapon at her side, but ready.

Jamie nods and plasters himself against the wall and slides along it like he's seen all the other cops do on TV. When he gets to a turn, he pokes his head around the corner quickly and pulls back.

"I think we found our exit. Two guards and they are armed. Any ideas? It's a good twenty feet to the exit."

She looks around the corner. "Go up to them, make them let us through," she decides, and mimes hitting one over the head with a weapon.

Jamie shrugs but follows Aeryn's lead and tries to casually walk down the hallway towards the exit. "This better work," he whispered.

It almost does. Aeryn gets almost to the exit when one turns around and sees her. He yells something like "Freeze!" which makes no sense to Aeryn. She doesn't put down her weapon, moving just quick enough, she can knock the barrel of her weapon under the first guard's chin, really hard.

The second guard goes for the gun in his holster. Jamie in his best one-person monkey pile fashion jumps on the guard and wacks him over the head with his weapon a couple of times before the guard falls to the floor.

"Let's get out of here now," Jamie said using the guard's security card to open the door. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/961906.html?thread=51028338#t51028338)
