Hahaha... ha... ha... loves, I hate being a bother, but I'm in a bit of a situation.

( there's a pause, and some strained breathing; also sounding a little like he's talking in a closed space. )

The, er, enthusiastic party of young women? Have locked me into a chest. And are refusing to let me out.

( he's a werewolf, he's more than strong enough to get out, right! he clears his throat. )

I'm also tied up. Just got the gag out now.

( he stretches out, rope marks on his wrists. he's just thankful there's any clothing left on him, considering what's been stripped away by the over-eager ladies earlier in the... what time is it anyway? )

Can move, love, stretching out—the window, shall we?

( he moves toward it, lashed shut as it is, rolling his shoulders and working at the latch. )

Nothing helps soreness more than moving through it.

Yes, the window is probably a better option.

[The sounds of revelry are slowly catching up so yes, let's go.

The dress doesn't seem to hinder Xie Lian too much as he pens the shutters and makes to jump out.]

( so it is that two men go leaping out a window (more or less), or at least scrambling out onto the lower roof the window sits above, and either leaping down from there, or walking carefully at an angle across toward a wall that joins a few feet lower than where they started. )

It's not a ghost war night, is it? There's the Salt Breaker... have I said I hate this place yet? I really hate this place.

[scrapgege]

A ghost war night? Oh no, no no no. I'm not saying they all get along but really, mostly they're just... vibing here?

[That's the best way he can describe it. there are a lot of ghosts, but they're surprisingly chill, honestly.]

They're not being really serious about this whole thing. They're just having a little fun. Still it's a bit weird to go from a place with no ghosts to one that has so many.

[bravelyrunsaway]

Vibing?

( what is that... even... meaning... )

I find it utterly unnerving, and I can't wait to be away from here, and their idea of fun. From all indications that child was having fun playing dolls with us and everyone else in Serthica, and still, this is more unsettling!

( now he's setting into a jog to head across the snowy courtyard, away from this particular wing and its licentious ladies. )
