These words I've shared

[thepull_mods]

Who: Open Log for all those who let themselves get taken in.
When: September 1st, 1918 and September 2nd, 1918.
Where: Undisclosed barracks at the Missionworth Military Base
Summary: The Military wants answers, and they're hoping you can help give them. Also, there are at least temporary beds. Try and sleep off that hangover.
Warnings: Interrogations will only go as badly as expected.

Though the newcomers haven't been treated as an overall threat, they have been taken to their new location as quickly as possible, and under fairly heavy guard.

Those guarding the newcomers vary between overly interested, and incredibly wary. Some seem to barely be able to hold back asking questions, and some clearly expecting a fight at any moment.

Needless to say, the tension is a bit high.

The newcomers who came quietly (Or at all) are held for the meantime in an empty barracks, bunk beds lining the walls and a bathroom off one end of the hall.

Periodically, a guard will come by and request for someone to follow them to be questioned.

It's likely a good idea to follow.

[Whatever the guard says in return, Gilbert doesn't hear any of it. For one, that's definitely Break's voice, and two - damn it Oz, that's his foot! Ouch! He'd just been trying to keep up appearances here! As pathetic as his attempt really was...

The other guard steps forward and asks if he should take it from here, but Gilbert grabs hold of Oz's shoulder and yanks him down the hallway closer to where they heard Break's voice.]

Don't bother! I'll just put him in this one for now.

[Sorry Break, they're coming in whether you want them to or not.]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Breezily, wiggling his fingers (he'd flap his hands, however:manacles), and letting his head loll to one side. ]

Whatever you're selling, I'm sure I don't want any~! ♥ Try down the hall!

[ Yes, right fine. Come into the cell, why don't you? You'll save the guard the trouble of locking you up, once he's put two and two together - which, honestly, shouldn't be long, by the sound of things. ]

[his_own_will]

[ Oz whimpers, suddenly struggling in a fit of pique the closer they get to Break's cell. ]

No! I don't want to go in there. That guy probably stinks and has mold growing out of his ears! I can't live with something that unsanitary!

[ struggle, struggle, c'mon, Gilbert. This is your chance to knock out that guard and make a getaway with the key! Because goodness knows they won't be able to unlock the cell door without one. ]

[retraced]

[Well, as it turns out, that's exactly what they're going to have to do, because Oz's dramatics paired with Gilbert's inability to properly scold him, the guard is becoming suspicious. He frowns at the both of them and then mutters something about incompetency as he steps forward and reaches for Oz's arm to tug him away.

And since Gilbert won't stand for that...

Break will hear a brief commotion from the other side of the door, a wild kick to the back followed by a blow to the head to knock the guy out, and then a jingling of keys pulled from the man's pocket and handed over to Oz.]

Unlock the door! Quick!

[And yeah, he's planning on dragging this poor guy with them. Don't worry Break, they'll steal his underwear for you this time.]

1/3

[maddeninghatter]

[ Somewhere between his annoyance and his anxiety (fools!), Break feels also a certain sense of... something. He can't quite put a finger on the feeling. Some of it's guilt, some of it's chagrin at being in this position. Gilbert and Oz are putting themselves at risk, for his sake, and so it's necessarily his fault if anything happens.

Gilbert and Oz. His subordinates. His fr-- ]

2/3

[maddeninghatter]

[ And it is precisely when his thoughts reach this maudlin waypoint, that he hears Oz's remarks about his personal hygiene. ]

Why, you uncute--!

3/3

[maddeninghatter]

[ Commotion, kick, and thump. Well, finally. Gilbert, you did something useful. For once. ]

Take your tiiiiiime, there's no hurry~!

[his_own_will]

[ there's a kick, and a thud and... ]

[ spazz, that was ] So cool! [ Gilbert Nightray, you just reminded Oz why he was a fanboy (only some of the time). Humming happily, Oz snatches up those keys and methodically starts counting through the keys on the ring and testing them one by one on Break's door. ]

Don't worry, Break. we'll have you out in no time!

[ and then one key stuck and there's a twist and then the door starts to creak as Oz gives it a light push. But then he's gone and helping Gil drag the guard into the room. Never, ever let it be said that Oz can't lift his share of the weight. It's just a very small portion of the weight.

... a very, very small portion of the weight. ]

[retraced]

[He's not trying to be impressive right now, Oz!

Well, maybe a little...

But he'll worry about accepting that praise later. For now they have a large guard to drag into the room so that he stays out of sight while they get Break out of here, and no worries, he's more than able to carry the majority of the weight. Though, as soon as Gilbert sees Break chained up the way that he is, he nearly drops the guy right there on his face.]

--Break?!

[And topping the list of Things Gilbert Nightray Hadn't Been Expecting To See...]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Break glowers defiantly, as if to say - WHAT? What's the matter? It's just your boss, chained up and shackled to a wall in his pajamas. His squash-stained pajamas. Don't act like it's a big deal or anythi--

...

WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, GILBERT NIGHTRAY? ]

Idiots! Morons! What d'you think you're doing?

I don't need help from the likes of you!

[his_own_will]

[ It would certainly serve that guard right if Gil had. And knock him out a second time too, maybe. But, Oz doesn't pay Break any mind, pushing the guard's feet the last foot or so into the cell despite Gil's shock. ]

Don't be stupid, Break. We're just doing this because we were bored!

[ And worried. Very, very worried. After all, what would those guards think if Break just disappeared one day because he decided to hang around a medicine cabinet, instead?

Most unsettling.

No, no. this is just for everyone's good. ]

[retraced]

[Okay, no time to stand here gawking, even though Break's screaming barely sobers him at all. Gil shakes his head to clear it and finishes dragging the poor guy the rest of the way into the room, shoving him against the wall before going to close the door.]

If you're not going to be grateful, then just be quiet instead! [Turning to Oz.] The key to unlock him is probably on that ring too.

[maddeninghatter]

Couldn't you two find something better to do with your time? Like - oooooooh, I don't know - escaping?

[ He rattles his chains, and looks about to say something else especially cutting. But all of a sudden, his eye goes wide and he... coughs. ]

[his_own_will]

[ oh, oh, Break wanted them to escape did he? He never really knew that Break cared...

Which doesn't stop Oz from making a huge show of pawing through each and every single ring, eying the lock with a contemplative look while Break coughed indelicately. ] And let you have all the fun tormenting the guard? We wouldn't dream of it. And that cough wouldn't infect anyone.

[ Much as Oz might wish it could. A host of ill guard would be just the thing. But no matter. Oz holds up the last key and quickly inserts it into the lock, twisting. Free at last, Break, free at last ]

[retraced]

[As the chains come loose, Gilbert is there at Break's side, ready to catch him if he can't keep his balance. It's a loud noise, and no doubt will alert more of the guards nearby that something is up, so they'll have to work fast.

Looks like you might just get carried by Gilbert again, Break.]

[maddeninghatter]

Uncutest of brats...

[ When the manacles around his wrists pop open, his arms drop and his legs crumple. It's a good thing Gilbert is right there, otherwise he'd topple gracelessly to the ground. ]

[his_own_will]

[ and be of good cheer fair Break! Oz is not paying him any mind as he collapses into Gilbert's ever waiting arms and is instead peeking around the door, making sure the cost is clear. ]

Come on, we'll have to hurry. That guard we passed first might get suspicious if you don't turn up soon.

[ yes, Break. They left guards alive and breathing behind them. It's all up to Oz now to get them free! ]

[retraced]

[While Oz checks the doors, Gilbert makes himself useful by hoisting Break up onto his back. At the very least, it looks like he's just to weak to walk on his own, which should be obvious by the fact that he's been chained up like this a while. Still, they need to be careful what they say/how they act until they get out of here.]

We'll sneak you two out one way and I'll meet you out front in a few minutes.

[maddeninghatter]

Urrrrrrgh...

[ Gosh this is embarrassing. Getting yet another piggyback ride from Gilbert aside, he realizes as he's hoisted up, just how thin these particular pajamas are. He hadn't noticed it much when he couldn't see; and then when he could, it didn't matter, because who sees him in his pjs?




Okay actually a lot of people, but - well!!! ]

It's just... candy deprivation making me weak. I haven't had any in whole hours!

[his_own_will]

[ ah... if only Oz's greatest worry was where the next jawbreaker was going to come from. But! Have no fear. He's... pretty sure Gil has a stash of candy somewhere.

Maybe.

So Oz did the only sensible thing he could do and shoved the door open a little wider and stepped out into the hall, waving Gil to follow ]

Just hang on for a bit longer. You'll have all the sweets Gil stashed away as soon as we're clear of the prison. Of course we do need to find a window or something to crawl through first otherwise Gil may just have to fly us out of here.

[ or, you know, trust Gil to distract the guard long enough for Break and Oz to inch past them. It could happen. In an alternate reality. ]

[retraced]

[He frowns at that. He doesn't feel the Pull here, not exactly. There's something odd about this world but he can't quite put his finger on what exactly. If he doesn't have to use Raven's power that would be best; he has no idea what sort of effect it will end up having on him. Best case, they made a commotion but get away safely, worst he ends up failing at escape and they're all caught and detained. For now, this method is safer and less of a strain on everyone.

He follows without a word. More than likely he doesn't have to say anything for Break to understand his hesitance, but maybe he still has a few choice words for the both of them as they search for a way out.]
