Lara has to suppress a groan as she lifts the guard's key from a pile of her belongings before leaving the room. Doesn't this prison have cameras? Whatever, it's not going to be her problem for long.

Permalink

The guard is sent away quite relaxed and quite unaware of her missing key. Villanelle steps out of the room, straightening her clothes, and glances over to find Lara.

Permalink

Lara flashes the sign for 'mission complete.' "So... what now?"

Permalink

"We should scout allies - fast. She mentioned a beast girl, a recent arrival, who might be willing to help..."

Permalink

"...I'm going to feel guilty about this for a while aren't I? Dammit. Better than getting everyone killed I guess."

Permalink

"Possibly. How about this - we survive, make it big, and send her a nice cushy apology check."

Permalink

"Oh, I meant the whole 'probably letting a bunch of people escape', but yeah that too."

Permalink

"Once a guard, always a guard, huh?"

Permalink

"What can I say? I like to know where the threats are, and 'somewhere out there' isn't very comforting." She seems to whisper to herself, "Please be all non-violent criminals."

Permalink

"This place's mostly political prisoners, small time druggies, and sodomites, darling. They don't let the murderers wander around like this."

Permalink

"Oh, good. Okay. I can do this. I can do this. Save the crystal. Save the universe. It'll balance out. No biggie."

Permalink

"Saving the universe'll more than balance out. But c'mon, let's get moving."

The girl is not very hard to find. She seems to be loudly arguing with someone in the cafeteria, though who with is a mystery at this distance. It's hard to imagine that whoever is shouting "NOT MY FAULT YOUR HAND WAS SO SHODDILY BUILT!" could be anybody else.

Villanelle bounces over, heading straight for the center of the argument.

Permalink

A mostly human girl with grey hair and ears on top of her head instead of on the sides is gesticulating wildly while holding what seems to be someone's prosthetic hand, letting it flap loosely as she goes. "Yeah, you heard me! Get a better hand job next time! This one's all soft and limp!"

The person she is arguing with appears to be a large bugbear man with an eyepatch and a now missing prosthetic hand. "You wanna die that badly, punk?!"

Permalink

She swaggers up. "What seems to be the matter here, fellas?"

Permalink

Roxy frowns at the newcomer. "This asshat was blaming ME for getting us all into this mess! Not my fault you picked a fight in the middle of the street!"

The man growls. "You tried to rip me off!"

She holds the hand up. "No, THIS was ripping you off. I was trying to provide a service."

Permalink

"So you two are in until you can cool your heels?"

Permalink

"Not likely. He's a wanted pirate and I'm quote-unquote "a repeat offender." Pfft, so what if a bunch of pirates got caught in the line of fire, I was being proactive in defending myself, that's all!"

"I hate you so much."

Permalink

"It's a pretty big prison. I can help you two avoid each other, at least."

Permalink

The bugbear man snarls. "Avoid?! Oh, she better avoid me, if I ever get her alone she won't be making it out of here alive." He snatches his hand back from the girl and reattaches it, making sure the middle finger works before moving on.

She shrugs as he goes. "Yeah, because clearly I'm SO SCARED of you! See you around, chump!"

Permalink

"You're a bold sort."

Permalink

"Not really. What's he gonna do, kill me? I'll be out of here one way or the other before he can try."

Permalink

"Got a plan for that?"

Permalink

She narrows her eyes suspiciously. "What's it to ya?"
