[So while the rest of Johto alternately panics, cries, or rushes around trying to capture as many of the soulstealing insects as possible, there are dozens of souls floating around in that dream limbo, drifting in and out of each other's slumbering thoughts and visions. Whether it's nightmarish flashbacks or just those dreams where you're at school ( Read more... )

[The fog is thick and white by this point-- but fortunately, whatever it is that's ahead of him does not seem to be interested in using the impenetrable mist as cover for an attack.]

[In fact, he'll see it long before it rears its head clearly, stumbling awkwardly towards him through the fog. It's little more than a bleary shape at first-- fairly short, too-- maybe it's a person? ... A child?]

[... And then it finally blunders into view, mewling piteously.]

( ... )

[Trust your instincts c'mon man, the guy's been chained in a sewer for god only knows how long... of course he sounds a little nuts! It's incredible he's sane enough to even string two words together, at this point...]

[He does sound like he's getting more frustrated, though.]

Enough... enough!

I don't want to answer any more questions... I need to see light again. I need to get OUT of this place!

The chain is over there-- attached to the side of the wall! Do you see it?

[If Kaito does look (instead of possibly wading back in the direction that he came), sure enough... a length of chain, covered in weeds and sewer sludge, rises from the water over in the very corner of the chamber-- dangerously close to where the threshing machines whir. It's attached to the sewer wall.]

[... well on the bright side, his hostile reaction to his questions makes him less inclined to remove that chain 8T He searches the dark room for said restraint, noticing it connected to the wall close to those whirring machines. That chain is... suspiciously large. Almost too large for a normal human male.

He doesn't move toward it, though. But he doesn't move away either]

I see it.

[A beat, and despite the man specifically saying he didn't want to answer any more questions, Kaito shoots him another one. There is something not right about this situation, and he isn't going to do anything until he has all of the information he needs.]

What's the first thing you're gonna do when you get out of here?

foolishwren July 2 2011, 08:36:31 UTC

[There's a sort of silence from the unseen man, and when he speaks again, there's a definite coldness. He seems to at least realize that he's at the mercy of the 'foreigner', though.]

I am losing patience...

But...

Water. Fresh water.

I've been trapped in this filth for so long I can hardly remember the taste.

bakaitoukid July 2 2011, 17:33:32 UTC

[... all right, that's an answer. Slowly, he starts wading his way to the chain, careful not to get too close to those whirring machines]

foolishwren July 3 2011, 19:39:14 UTC

[The chain is thick, old, and worn... but the stone around the place where it attaches to the wall with a ring is slightly crumbled. If he digs and scrapes around its edges a bit, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to remove the chunk entirely.]

[Perhaps it's looped through something under the water down there on the other side, which could explain why the mystery speaker hadn't been able to reach this side and break it off the wall himself...]

bakaitoukid July 3 2011, 22:38:50 UTC

[Kaito reaches out to take the chain in his hands, frowning at how weak the chain link seems to be. It almost looks as though the captive should have been able to break through this himself...

With the chain in his hands, he glances up, searching through the darkness in an attempt to find the man connected to this restraint]

foolishwren July 4 2011, 03:45:44 UTC

[The chain has some give, but then it snags with a hard CHNK somewhere under the water (which, if Kaito should choose to follow it ... will eventually come up to his chin the closer he gets...)-- followed by a grunt of pain.]

What are you doing over there--?!

[... seriously though where IS this guy.]

bakaitoukid July 4 2011, 20:25:46 UTC

Hang on--

[... all right, he is going to follow the chain instead of just releasing it. He wants to at least know who this guy is]

Where are you?

foolishwren July 5 2011, 05:01:37 UTC

[The further he follows that chain... the deeper and deeper he goes into the water. It comes up to his chin... then his ears.]

[The voice sounds bewildered, and a little outraged. But there's also something frantic in it.]

Does it MATTER?! I cannot MOVE until the chain is broken! Just BREAK it, and then we can both leave this place!

bakaitoukid July 5 2011, 20:01:46 UTC

[... looks like he's not getting to the end of this. Soaked to the bone and shivering, he pulls back, reaching out to place his palm against the point where the chain meets the wall again]

Are you under water?

foolishwren July 7 2011, 04:03:35 UTC

It is attached at multiple points-- please. Stop wasting TIME!

[... Well, he DOES sound desperate, even if it's a pissed-off kind of desperate. There's even a gurgle-- maybe he is underwater? Or maybe the chain ends in one of those shadowy corners and is tight enough that he's only just above water-level enough to breathe....]

bakaitoukid July 7 2011, 04:54:51 UTC

. . .

[Letting out a breath and responding in a snappish tone himself]

I'm not wasting time, idiot! You're the one whose purposely being vague! I don't even have your name!

foolishwren July 7 2011, 06:29:37 UTC

[Oho. Now you've done it, Kaito.]

[The voice falls silent for a moment or so in pure outrage. When it speaks up again, there's a sort of glubbering noise preceding the first words, like he's bobbing angrily at the surface of deep water.]

DON'T you dare take that tone with me, you impudent pup!

My name is Leonard Wolf and no matter what my traitorous daughter has done, it is still a name to be RESPECTED!

If I were still in power, the Order would NEVER let in some upstart foreigner who didn't know how to respect his ELDERS!

[... wait what. Order what.]

bakaitoukid July 7 2011, 17:52:58 UTC

Are you kidding? Who's the one with the ability to get rid of these stupid restraints? And you're yelling at me?

[He removes his hand from the chain on the wall and frowns... deeply]

What the heck do you mean by Order?

foolishwren July 7 2011, 23:17:24 UTC

[... There's another silence.]

[But this time, it's not an angry one. Instead, it's.... purely baffled. When the voice speaks again, it's with an utterly bewildered tone that might even be funny were they not both miserable and stuck in a smelly sewer.]

... You... are not from the Order?
