Prison - Part 2 - Slot the Slut
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
She pouts a little bit but sighs, nodding to herself. "Well, it does seem like he valued us a lot which means we are doing well in our goals to become a really good entertainment kingdom. We should go home and let Solitaire know right away!"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"We need to figure out a way to get home first."
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"Oh, good idea."
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot's walking up to the bars and is just gonna look at them.
Is there anything off or like a lock that could be picked or something?
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
Wow, does Juno seem ever so dejected once they hear about the twins though. They flop down on the ground a bit, face crumpling, hands bunching in their hair. W E H. THEIR FIRST FRIENDS... WERE FRAUDSSSSSS...
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
What are Juno, chopped liver?
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
She turns to look at Juno blinking and hobbles over to them, patting their hand. "What is it, what is it?"
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
"We got conneeeeeddddd...!" Juno whines with a little mechanical squeak, turning big watery hazel eyes on Dusk, "I thought we were friends!"
GM10/14/2017
@Slut the Rumored The bars are sturdy, but a little corroded—they've been here a while, perhaps improperly maintained. And there is a lock on the door, and it's quite large. However, since it's at a complicated angle, it might be hard to pick, but it's certainly not IMpossible if you're determined.
But, one of the guards is giving you The Eye.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
She thinks about it, and . . . gasps. "Oh! Those guys! You think they're the same twins?"
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
"They have to be!" WHO ELSE, DUSK.
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot gives the guard a smile and a wink. He's not trying to charm but #yolo.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"Hmm..." She crosses her arms and ponders. "A cult too . . . maybe it's the same one we heard about before . . . "
After a moment of thinking she reaches over to grab their hands. "We'll be fine! We'll just go find them and ask what's up! After all, we gotta figure out what's up with these cults and stuff anyway, right? And then we can ask them! "
GM10/14/2017
@Slut the Rumored Well, the guard mistakens the wink and smile for... something else. Look, he's not EASY, he's not going to FALL FOR THIS EXILE THAT HIS BOSS HAS LOCKED UP! But he can't help but be sincerely curious...
That said, he walks towards you. You'll find he's wearing rusted armor, and he has dragonic horns sticking out from the helm. At least, it's probably horns. Those are likely real. I mean, you have wolf ears, and Dusk has useless wings, and Juno is a vocaloid. They're probably real.
"Hey, buddy, you need something?" He sounds inquirng, a bit concerned.
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
Sniffling, Juno doesn't even bother to ask how they'll be getting out or finding out about the cult. It seems they've just lost any and all confidence in the time being in themselves and their companions, and proceed to merely huddle in on themselves.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"..." Dusk just kind of watches for a moment, frowning, and then lets go of Juno to put her hands on her hips. "Don't you worry, you take a nap if you need to then. We'll figure it out. ♪" And then turns towards to see Slot talking to the guard, uho.
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot looks him up and down, taking into account the rusted armor and the dragon horns. Well, if the guy paid a lot of money for them to be bought, why didn't he buy the guards some better armor?? Were they really that expensive? But he's got the guard's attention, so might as well be more disarming.
'Yeah, I guess if... what, your boss? Is going to be our Master, I figured I'd get to know him a bit more. Mind telling me some about it?" He tops that up with a small smile.
GM10/14/2017
"About him...?"
Well, he crosses his arms casually, shifting his weight. He has time for conversation, and it's not like any of this is unknown.
"He rules over all of Brazen, Blazin' Fortress. A good guy, to us, but arrogant and kind of an ass to anyone else."
As he says that he peers down the hall. The other guard's just dozing off, and there's no floating teleivision in sight.
"What's more, he lives in a volcano and drinks magma. Right, yeah, that wasn't tea."
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
WHY DOES SLOT EVEN BOTHER, Juno wonders, having grabbed a blanket off the prison bed and made themselves into a blanket burrito. They're sulking. A lot.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"Does Magma taste good?" She ponderst to herself. NTS to try some.
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"Magma? Sounds like a really hot drink to have." Slot remarks. He then leans against the bars, trying to be super casual here.
"But seriously? Good guy to you? Why do you say that?"
GM10/14/2017
"Because he let's us do what he wants." He shrugs. "I mean, sure, we're not allowed out. We're trapped here. But, we have a small village for some of that scenic country life. We have a city with a casino and parties. I dunno, it's life."
"He may be the boss of a labyrinth, to some folk, but he's a ruler of it. Maybe this could be considered a kingdom?"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"But your armor? I mean, when was the last time he got you something nice?"
GM10/14/2017
He looks down at his armor and taps on it. Hell, rust flakes off a bit when he does, but maybe that's because he has claws.
"Obviously not in a long time."
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"Obviously but he can afford to buy us..." Slot says, gesturing at their party in the cell. He then looks down and glances up at the guard, "You probably deserve better..."
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
Dusk watches curiously, seems very PENSIVE ABOUT SOMETHING.
GM10/14/2017
"I guess, but it puts bread on the table... anyway, get some rest."
If you want to be more convincing than THAT you'll have to roll me a 2D6 + Charm over 13. Fortunately your guard is caring enough to act like a decent person and not a dick, but he has a job to do!
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
She clamors up to the bars, looking FIERCELY DETERMINED! Juno is sad and there are important things to be done here. "Slot is right. A kingdom's people are the most important! It's ok if they can't afford it, but they should try their best. If I could get everyone in my kingdom the finest clothes, I would! In fact, I feel a little bad because I want to . . . but the people shine brightly even without fancy garbs! You are like that too, right? That's why I respect your spirit and hard work, the fancy armor is within your very own soul!"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot tries again to be more alluring, feeling a surge of charm rise up within him and he gives the guard another smile. "I think you'd look really great in some fancy armor, you know. Something that'll really make your horns pop."
Climate Change10/14/2017
(in other, quieter news, clima is just lying facedown in the prison cell and sleeping. even dragons cannot wake him.)
GM10/14/2017
The guard looks baffled—more like overwelmed, because this is so much?!
Not in a bad way, though.
His eyes light up a bit as Dusk speaks—something about the way she speaks, the things she says, said with such earnest and power... that alone would have been enough to make him reconsider.
With a quick head turn, he focuses on ANOTHER distraction—Slut, I mean, Slot. The way he says that... can you see blush through armor? Thank god you can't. He stammers, overwelmed by both of you!
"W-well... it all sounds... nice... really nice, but how is that going to work when you're imprisoned...?"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"You could... let us out? That'll really help things along here."
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"And then we can be friends."
She looks at Slot, blinking. "Or whatever it is that you do."
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"It's a kind of friendship..." Slot trails off, giving the guard another wink.
GM10/14/2017
The guard: :anguished: :confounded: [INSERT EMBARRASSED EMOJI HEY WHERE'S MY EMBARRASSED EMOJI]
"I... I could, yeah..." He peers back at the guard, who is Still dozing off. Geez, doesn't he value his dead-end career?
He fidgets with the ring of keys on his belt, and pulls out the one. The One. The one that will open this prison door.
and what do you know, it opens. you're free.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
She pushes through and gives him a hug, "Thanks! You're really nice! If you want to ever go to Halation, we're there! But if you like this place too, thats ok."
GM10/14/2017
HE'S FLUSTERED, why are these prisoners so nice... this was a huge mistake, locking them up, wasn't it?
"I reckon I don't mind... but I can't help you the rest of the way, at least, not by holding your hands. If you're quiet you can get past Buster over there, but after that I have to pretend I don't know you..."
Probably.
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot slides up next to him. He's keeping little to no space between them, but he's being proper and not doing any hardcore flirting like he did to Ninepins. "Like Dusk said, we'd give you something nice to wear." He looks him up and down again, as though he's imagining what he'd be wearing.
"But if you wanna hold hands later, I'd be down for that."
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
Wow. Slot and Dusk are really something else... Juno's somewhat impressed, though that's coupled with their own self-doubt. How can they charm people so easily? How can they inspire FAITH in people? What makes them so confident and assured...? Could things have gone differently if Juno knew just what to do and say?
They stand up, still holding the blanket around them but preapred to follow along. They consider Dusk and Slot thoughtfully as they do.
GM10/14/2017
The guard's helm is steaming.
"F-fine, but not because... look, it's boring here!"
He turns on the "tsun" tactic.
[+1 Follower! Feel free to add this to your sheet, where it says "CURRENT TOTAL: 0" by Followers!]
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"Oh, I bet I can help liven things up for you later." Slot says, leaning up more into the guard's space.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
Dusk helps the others up, including sleeping Clima and then the blanket Juno, smiling.
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
... maybe Juno can forgive Dusk, at least... she didn't mean to be hurtful with the karaoke machine... maybe...
They offer a wobbly smile back.
Climate Change10/14/2017
He just sleeps standing up? Please.
GM10/14/2017
The guard huffs and looks away, he's internally dying over here! "Okay, we have to get you guys out first...!!"
He looks towards the entrance into the hallway, where the dozing guard stands. Despite the way his rusted armor clatters, the guard that Slot (and Dusk) just charmed walks by without issue. Maybe the dozing guard offered him no regard since it's such a familiar sound!
But will you guys be so lucky?
Please roll me a 2D6 + Quest to see how well you walk past him without drawing his attention. :relieved:
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot huffs a laugh and just follows after the guard, looking back at the group to make sure they follow.
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
Dusk looks at the sleeping Clima standing and wonders. She did say she wanted to help her people so she should be a lot more ruler-like right? I mean, those muscle men were able to carry her . . . she should be able to do that too! Thus she tries her very best to lift sleepy clima in her arms. Her skinny arms. But she got dis.
GM10/14/2017
Slot sneaks by just fine. The guard doesn't notice that he's there.
Dusk's steps are heavier, probably from carrying Clima... And Juno isn't able to be all that sneaky either.
So Slot's efforts are wasted, and the second guard pops his eyes open and jumps into an offensive position! Immediately he unsheathes his scimitar.
"Hey, what's going on here!"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
"You're dreaming," Slot says with a straight face.
GM10/14/2017
...if you want to be convincing, you can use a 2D6 + Charm and get over 11...
In all seriousness
The guard blinks a few times and lowers his blade.
"Man. I must be dreaming... there's no way you'd have escaped by now..."
He.
He sheathes his blade, places his hand over his face (he's gotta stop staying up so late!) and leans back against the wall, resuming his sleep.
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
Slot just straightens up and says quietly, "I can't believe that worked."
Juno the Natural10/14/2017
Gaping, Juno turns shining eyes back to Slot. SERIOUSLY... WHAT IS THAT SKILL... HOW PERSUASIVE CAN A PERSON BE...
Dusk the Best10/14/2017
"I believe in us." She nods, sparkling.
She pouts a little bit but sighs, nodding to herself. "Well, it does seem like he valued us a lot which means we are doing well in our goals to become a really good entertainment kingdom. We should go home and let Solitaire know right away!"
Slut the Rumored10/14/2017
