With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he

Still, it was good to talk to someone who wasn't content in just sitting around and doing nothing. If Izaya was looking around on his end, too, Snow was more than willing to share whatever he managed to find out. Not that he was running around this place for the sake of finding information, exactly. Reconnaissance wasn't really, you know, his thing. But whatever works.
Snow followed Izaya's gaze to the nurse-guards, not bothering to try and be subtle about it. He placed his hands on his hips and turned back to him with a small grin on his face. Heh, what? Was Izaya worried about that? "Since when do heroes care about what the enemy approves of?" He nodded his head once as if to verify that, yes, he was talking about the two of them. "Last I checked, we're all prisoners here. Pretty much anything we do's gonna get us the evil eye. So... Might as well give 'em somethin' worth gettin' upset over."
And they were going to be upset. It'd be mayhem the day they all broke out of this place. They'd be so frantic, the guards wouldn't know what to do with themselves. The confusion was what they'd use to escape. See? Why couldn't anyone see how effective a mass campaign against these people would be? Again, people were just scared. He placed a hand on Izaya's shoulder reassuringly.
"Don't you worry 'bout the guards, alright? Pretend they're not even there. Just keep calm and focused and we'll be outta here that much faster. Alright?" Bright smile here. "Keep your eyes peeled if you plan on goin' up there, too. You need anything, lemme know. Okay?" Everyone had to stick together in this. There was power in numbers.

Izaya didn't react at all to the large hand Snow had placed on his shoulder, but he did respond to the words that had come after. "How reassuring! It's nice to have someone reliable around here... I'll let you know if I could use your help."
He gave one last look at the nurses, and then shifted his weight, tilting to one side, to look up at Snow from the corners of his eyes. "And you may be right about the guards," he continued. "But if you give them too much to get upset over, I would think they'd try to sedate you. We would want that to happen again!"

It might have been difficult to tell since Snow had already been smiling, but he was practically glowing with that label. Reliable. Yeah. ...Damn straight! That was him. He was reliable. The one you could depend on, no matter what. And with that established, there was no way he was going to let Izaya or anyone else in this place down. Not with people counting on him now.
And all that being the case, he wasn't going to let something silly like worrying about the guards "sedating" him ruin the moment. So he pulled his hand from Izaya's shoulder and fisted it in front of him. "Just let 'em try it! They wanna press their luck again, they'll have a nasty wake up call comin' their way."
As far as that whole mess last time went, he was sure that was some kind of a fluke. He still had no idea how only three people had managed to contain him. Snow knew he was stronger than that. He could only figure they'd gotten their uniforms rigged with AMP technology; it was the only explanation. Bad enough they took everything even slightly modern from them all, but they kept the best for themselves. Real fair.
But all that really meant was he had to watch it next time. Now that he knew what they had up their sleeves, he wouldn't be caught off guard next time they tried to make a move.
"Be ready next time. It hits the roof again, there won't be any more interruptions."
