[Accidental Video Post]

[tiedbydestiny]

[Video opens to show an extremely posh-looking room, with comfortable furniture and lavish decorations. The decor suggests an Asian influence, probably Chinese, but the Western style dominates. For a moment the screen is empty, then Chika enters the view from one side. He's pacing, his hands clenched into fists, an angry scowl on his face

Are you trapped, Chika?

[tiedbydestiny]

Yeah we're fucking locked in and they took Shito off to turn him into Laoye's puppet! Toho knows about the comm, he's put up some kinda magic shield and we can't even worldhop out of here.

[hands4healing]

Is there a door with a lock you could pick?

[tiedbydestiny]

I could just bust the door down, but there's armed guys with machine guns out in the hall! The Xu Fu is one of the top Chinese Mafia groups, they're not fucking around.

[Devit uses his time similarly, pacing and cursing and occasionally destroying an expensive piece of decor in a fit of rage. His mood, which was bad before all this shit hit the fan, has only worsened as time goes on and his inability to do anything grates on him more and more. Add that to the heap of worry, fear, and his hatred for all things Xu Fu, and he's one pissed off, useless Noah just looking for an excuse to take it out on somebody.

He stops his own pacing to watch Chika, directing a heated glare at him.]

Why the fuck do you always talk like that?

[tiedbydestiny]

Talk like what?

[Chika glares right back at him. All his frustration is just bottled up and waiting to burst free, given an appropriate target. Or even a not so appropriate one, like Devit. Anyway fighting with Devit is practically like fighting with Shito, something he's more than used to doing. It almost makes the situation feel normal.]

[Devit points an accusing finger at him, his other hand balled into a fist.]

Like it's just you here to help him! Like he's yours!

[action]

[tiedbydestiny]

I'm not, I'm just saying what I'm gonna do! You're free to put as many holes of your own into the assholes as you like!

[He and Shito might argue a lot and get on each other's nerves, but at least they fight well together. Chika can't say the same for Devit, and that's making him extra cranky.]

You seem to be in an unfortunate situation.

[tiedbydestiny]

Yeah that's one way of putting it.

[hok_ton]

What do you plan on doing once you escape? Something suitably violent, I assume? Do you believe that will help your friend?

[tiedbydestiny]

It will if it gets me to him faster. I'm not doing him any good while I'm here and he's there.
