The handcuff meme: Feeling a little stuck?

[mutedpoint]

A snick. Then the feel of cool metal against your wrist. What??

Say hi to whoever you now find yourself cuffed to. There's no key, no catch, just what seems to be a seamless cuff you can't take off.

Oh for bloody . . .

Can not resist.

[open_flame]

Damn it!

Neither could I. LOL

[ofdrumsthesound]

Won't come off . . . *Cue Gallifreyan swear words*

Heeeee XD

[open_flame]

[groans] Can't you...use that sonic thingy on it. You have a sonic thingy, right?

Parallel timelines FTW! And should this work, or are they supercuffs?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Laser, actually.

Super future space cuffs!

[open_flame]

HEY! [moves away, but not that far. Ya know, cuffed and all that] Watch where you're pointing that thing!

[ofdrumsthesound]

Right.

*He tries to cut the chain. There are several more swear words* Holographic hardlight force field chains. Can't cut them, they aren't material. Not even a deadlock seal is immune to lasers, but with these . . .

No key, either. Or rather the key could be anything--a word, a scent, a pattern. Shit! *And he flashes.*

[open_flame]

[flashing makes her hands spit involuntary flames because her fire thinks he's a threat]

OK...calm down!

[ofdrumsthesound]

I'm calm, I'm calm!

*He winces and curls up a bit, as far from her as possible.*

[open_flame]

Oh. [many deep breaths. Her arm's all stretched out so he can keep his distance] Who makes this holographic...force field stuff? Maybe we can narrow down what the key might be before you...yeah.

I'm going to say that the key is four beats, okay? Since it's fairly easy for him, at least, to find

[ofdrumsthesound]

It's made of energy. Advanced tech, beyond current human science.

*thumbs up* Liz would have no idea what that is, actually.

[open_flame]

So that means it could be from any of those places out there...[gestures to the sky] Fantastic

[ofdrumsthesound]

Of course, since it's on us, it couldn't hurt to try things associated with us.

Can you think of any?

[open_flame]

Well for me it'd be...
Fire...
Cameras...
Guns.

And for you...

[pauses] God, I donno. Um...I know a little bit about the Doctor but...I don't really know anything about you other than That stuff with Jack.

And the eating people thing.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Drumming. Some kind of four beat . . . *He starts tapping out the drums, and his cuff opens* Yes! That's it!

[open_flame]

[picks the cuffs up very slowly, like they're a bomb or worse] But...the drumming's what you said made you...you know...[whispers] crazy.
