Video - UN: peerless cucumber Dated for 11/23

[softheartedshizun]

[ Shen Qingqiu seems to be in a state, at least roughed up a little and restrained, the movement implies there is travel happening. ]

I am a little worried... Eleven and I have been detained and are on our way somewhere.... My guess is the destination is not good, and if you don't hear from us after this... well....

[ Where was an easy mode when you needed one! This wasn't fair! Give him a break! ]

Assume the worst I suppose.

Where are you going? I'll come find you.

[softheartedshizun]

As if they would tell us that easily.

Though, who would want both of us?

[ If he thought about it, this was inevitable, wasn't it? Fuck! ]

[un: sprite bulb] voice;

[bearshermark]

Rigarda.

[lancifolium]

[ There's some clatter and muffled cursing as she drops the pendant hearing that. ]

Eleven– [ She takes a split second to steady her voice. ]

Are you hurt? Tell me everything you can and be careful. I'll find you.

[Her first thought is 'slavers', but that tends to be where her mind goes first in these situations. This looks more like a kidnapping. Time was of the essence.]

Were you attacked or did they catch you unaware?

What did your captors look like?

[softheartedshizun]

Detained on the behalf of a noble.

As much as I would like to fight back, wouldn't it be a bother to make the situation worse?

[song_of_fire]

A noble? Do you know who it is?

I can't say. For now, do nothing and we can try to find you.

[softheartedshizun]

I assume Rigarda.

( Hastily, laboured, as he blitzes down corridors: )

Can you see the skies?

[softheartedshizun]

Not at all.

[downswing]

( Tch. Then, they cannot be asked to spot sky signals. )

Seek them. Accuse sickness. Beg air.

[softheartedshizun]

I'm sure I'll see the sky once we get inside, but after that? Maybe locked in a deep dark prison.

...

Can they restrict cultivation here? Do you think they're very good at that? I didn't put up a fight because I don't want to fight a city and have nowhere to run to.

[UM.]

What happened? Who detained you?

[Xingchen probably shouldn't be surprised that any of their number has been taken in after everything that's happened in the city, but he is. Surprised and worried.]

Was there no form of trial before you were taken? There must be.

[Does he believe anyone in power really cares about any of them enough for some kind of justice to really play out? Not exactly, but he has to hold onto something. He doesn't know Shen Qingqiu well at all, but Eleven is a friend and he can't imagine the young man doing something actually deserving of swift action like this.]

[softheartedshizun]

I can only think of the one who was sending weapons out to the world in the first place.

[binghua]

Who was that?

[Sorry, he missed that memo entirely.]

[softheartedshizun]

Rigarda.

[scrapgege]

You've bene captured? Why?

[softheartedshizun]

For not delivering the weapons?

[scrapgege]

The weapons....? Oh, those swords you were speaking about earlier? But how would they know you took them?

Do you need help right now? It might be difficult to extract you just now...

[soloritur]

[ Marcos tries not to jump to that assumption, but if they're being blamed for what happened... He's listening, trying to hear more about where they're going and what they're planning to do to free them. ]

Are you still with us?

[softheartedshizun]

Am I still alive? Yes!

[soloritur]

[ He was more worried about them taking the communication devices from them, but that's still good to hear. ]

Any idea how close you are to your destination?

[weifinder]

Has your cultivation been suppressed?

[softheartedshizun]

Not yet. But, fighting my way out of here with no further goal will do no good for anyone.

[weifinder]

Why 'yet?'

And it may not, but you listen, you wait, you take off with Eleven as soon as you can, ah?
