CoX: 01 - Breakout

Azure never considered Vanta more powerful than her. Better, though, he was a useful ally. And not mean or backstabby. This brand new baby dragon, though, she has no idea.

She gets hearts for eyes at the sight of the baby dragon. Inwardly, "EEEEEK! HE'S SO ADORABLE! I WANT HIM!"

But outwardly, she squats down, smirks and says, "They wanna make sure even the most inept guard knows what's going on. Hi there. Name's Azure." even if they roll a 1 on the die.

She then perks her bunny-ears, looks and sees Vanta. "Yo, Vanta! Over here! Let's stick together!"

CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta's ear perked at the voice, looking over. It took a moment before he'd recognize who the voice was coming from. Admittedly, the situation was rife with the chaos going around. There was a bit of hesitance in the rat's step, but he made his way over quietly. As of the moment, he lacked his normal attire, being in a slightly baggy orange jump suit with makeshift wrappings under it. He'd tilt his head towards both. ".... Planning to leave? Or is gathering for safe-in-numbers?" He'd look between both, hesitant to say too much else in case anyone overheard. Scarier prisoners could be a problem, or if the guards stormed in, he'd rather not be one of the people they notice.

CoX: 01 - Breakout

Up till now, Pyrus has only seen angry and fearful faces.  Azure just gave baby his first smile!  And it sure is nice.

His eyes light up and his tail gets twice as waggy when he returns Azure's gaze with a bright smile of his own.  "H-Hi there.  Pretty face.  Name's Pyrus, I think?  Will you be my mommy?"

The words barely escape Pyrus' lips when he realizes that "No" is an option, and just the thought of it makes him sad.  So although his tail is still wagging and his lips are smiling, tears well up in his eyes.

Without turning his gaze from Azure, afraid that somehow she'll vanish if he loses sight of her, Pyrus answers Vanta, "This place is bad.  We should go away."

Guard 1: "How the heck do we fit this thing with an orange jumpsuit?"
Guard 2: "You must be new.  We get so many weird body shapes in here they long since installed a custom

CoX: 01 - Breakout

Azure answers Vanta, "Both. You're a useful guy and I figure I can trust you. But I also know this jail's corrupt. I'm getting outta here and I'm taking you with me." Then looks at Pyrus with an "aaawww?" expression and scoops him into her arms! Now that she knows the dragon WANTS to be coddled, she allows her inner feelings out. Which means the smile is bigger and her eyes bright. Despite the black sclera. "Sure thing, Pyrus!"

She can't wait to get these orange jumpsuits off and fit Pyrus with some badass armor or such.*

She places Pyrus back on his feet. "Follow me, babydoll." then looks to Vanta. "Looks like H.T. over there is in pain. Let's check on him." she looks back at Pyrus to explain, "H.T.'s a cool guy; doesn't let people push him around, but at the same time isn't a bully."

She trots a little, checks that Pyrus is following, then continues trotting over to H.T. She'll ask the "why in the world would they arrest a baby?" questions later when they've escaped, but her rage against P.P.D. is mounting.

(Always LOVED that the Rogue Island Police spelled R.I.P.)

Vanta blinked a bit in surprise at the notion of coming with, but given who he was speaking to hasn't exactly done wrong by him... and there is very much the intent to leave the prison, he'd follow their trot towards H.T., looking towards the man with a bit of concern. He'd give a small wave once they got closer. Vanta made efforts to keep on the good side of the people who weren't the bullying sort. Helps to have help!

Vanta looked towards the small dragon, tilting his head. After a moment, he'd give a friendly wave. "... Should not be here, no. Concerned for why they dragged you to a bad place." He had questions, but he left it at that for the time being.

Guard 2: "You must be new.  We get so many weird body shapes in here they long since installed a custom

... machine that scans inmates and spits out jumpsuits perfectly suited to them.  With RFID tracers woven into them!  Which means they never need the batteries replaced and we know where each inmate is at all times!"

"Wow.  That's smart.  I guess the bleeding hearts won't let us inject tracers into the inmates?  'Human rights' or some BS like that?"

"Yeah.  But rumor has it the warden does that anyway for some of the worst inmates."

"Yeah I knew I was transferring to the right place.  I heard good things about the warden."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Pyrus isn't lightweight.  Probably well over 200 lbs.  Good thing Azure is a superpowered person!  Instant relief washes over the tot when his proposal is accepted and he returns the hug with tearful joy!  "Thank you!  So very very much!  I love you!"

He eagerly follows after mommy.  Upon meeting HT he smiles and waves.  To Vanta's question he answers, "Because they're mean!"

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Azure strained and only picked up Pyrus's front half. Super or no, she doesn't have the strength of a body builder. Even if she could beat one up. "WOW you're heavier than you look..."

To Pyrus's assessment/answer to Vanta, Azure nods in agreement. "Mean is right. They arrested me just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I've been sitting in this prison for no crime other than existing. Gave some empty promises about a fair trial and all that. It has been three months and it never came."

She then arrives at H.T. and says, "What's up, Hardtime?"

H.T. says, "I've got this pain, see... and the only thing that helps are those pain relievers they got locked up in the infirmary. Go there and persuade the nurse to give them to you."

Azure says, "Sure thing..."

She looks over and not far from any of the group is the infirmary.

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta'd tilt his head towards Azure. "If no trial... and no crime... hrm. Also should not be here then. Best time to go 'not here'."

Vanta glanced over as well once they got over to Hard-Time. Generally persuade could mean plenty of things... given the current events going on, Vanta sincerely hoped genuine diplomacy could be used. If that wasn't an option, however, there was always the notion of quietly getting the pain killers. "... Which ones? Which shape?" Vanta looked towards H.T., not wanting to accidentally get something that wasn't painkillers. The bottles had too many long and weird names to keep track of.

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Pyrus turns red all over when mommy complains about his weight.  "Sorry."

His head points at each of the adults as they talk.  As much as he wants to help...  Last time he tried any persuading he was shot at, knocked out, and thrown in prison.  Mommy and Vanta seem pretty confident they'll work out the persuasion, so...  Probably best to just watch and learn.  Even so... Just in case...  Pyrus activates his rock armor.  Which shreds parts of his custom-fitted jumpsuit.

He ducks his head, expecting to be scalded.  "Uuuuh.  Oops?"

H.T. says, "I dunno." he winces, "S'why I said ASK THE NURSE!" he winces again.

Azure says, "Alright alright... hang tight."

Seeing Pyrus burst some of his jail clothes, Azure giggles some. "Don't worry about it. I can mend those later if you want."

Azure heads over to the nurse. "Hey! H.T.'s in pain. You got some pain killers?"

The nurse says, "You want what? Pain relievers? You psychos detonate explosives for drugs? Fine, here is the key to the medical cabinet, take whatever you want."

Azure takes the key and unlocks the cabinet. "Which one is it?"

The nurse points to a bottle. "That one!"

Azure grabs it and tosses it to Vanta!

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta looked towards Pyrus at the tearing of clothes, a small squeak of surprise elicited, not quite expecting the clothing to tear or give way to... naturally occurring armor? OR seemingly naturally occurring? "Hm. Is excuse to get new clothes... if not wanting to mend."

Vanta shrank back a bit at the bit of a shout, taking a second to realize it was likely due to pain, and not due to actual agitation or anger. He'd carefully reach a hand out. "Is-okay, is-okay.... will.... we'll- we've got 'em!" He'd catch the tossed bottle, before carefully unscrewing the cap, and carefully handing the opened bottle to H.T. "Is open... handle with care!"

"Sorry," Pyrus said to Vanta at his squeak.

But he smiles and wags his tail happily when he hears Mommy can fix it!  And she handled the convincing just fine!  Why's the nurse acting so weird?

Pyrus fidgets uncomfortably that there's nothing he can do to help.  "Hey nurse?  He's hurting bad.  Can't you fix him, please?"

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

The Nurse answers Pyrus, "That's what the pain meds are for! They make the pain go away! Please just leave me alone!"

H.T. looks at Vanta and says, "Thanks, I really needed these. With all the racket going on in here, I think these are the only way I will get some peace."

Azure looks around. "I think I see Arachnos agents..."

He looks to the side and down the hall and smirks. "Arachnos. Heh."

H.T. looks back at Vanta, then to Azure. "They must think you're pretty special if they're willing to raise this kind of ruckus to break you out. But I'd watch myself if I were you. Just because they think you're special doesn't mean they'll give you a free ride. You'll have to prove you've got what it takes."

He winces again. Then says, "OK, I know you are dying to get outta here. Well, I got two guys you can see. If you want to make a direct break for it, then you can go see Angel Lopez. But if you want to grab some of your equipment, then you should talk to Jimmy Dortz instead."

He points to where the two contacts are respectively.

Azure nods. "Thanks, H.T. You comin?"

H.T. headshakes. "Nope. I made up my mind to stay here. I have my reasons. But that doesn't mean you gotta. Now go on, kids."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta looked towards Pyrus, giving a somewhat shakey hand gesture of dismissal, that it was fine! "Spider soldiers.... here to break prisoners out? Hm. Is own imprisoned maybe?" He'd look towards Azure. "... Is maybe good idea to get clothes and things before leaving?" Vanta'd gesture towards the jumpsuits. "Big orange mark....."

He did look towards the nurse, before giving a head nod. "... If is possible, please look out for him? Is... staying. Did not make booms. Already has to fight pain. Less Hard Time for... erm... H-... Hard Time?" There was a small pause, before looking back towards Azure and Pyrus. "Is... time to go?"

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Pyrus can understand being scared with all this confusion going on.  He tries to assure the nurse.  "Don't worry.  We won't shoot you for nothing like the police do.  We don't even have guns!  And Mom's really nice, too."

He wags his tail happily at H.T.  "Mom IS special!  She hugged me!"

To Vanta's point Pyrus nods.  "I had nothing at all before I came here.  Now I have this pretty orange suit!  It's nice and comfy."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

H.T. opens his mouth to argue with Pyrus on the meaning of special, but then closes his mouth and thinks. "Huh..."

The nurse doesn't argue with Vanta or Pyrus, and just cowers, bordering on screaming as she yells, "I'll do anything if you leave me alone!"

Azure looks to Vanta. "I'm kinda like Pyrus... I didn't have possessions when they arrested me. I was wearing my ice armor which I make with my powers. So when they stripped me, the armor just... melted over time. But just because Pyrus and I didn't show up with stuff doesn't mean we can't leave with stuff. Lead the way to Jimmy, Vanta!"

Azure is still unsure how to feel about being called Mom all the time, but she'll take it for now. Baby dragon is adorable, so baby dragon can say what baby dragon WANTS. Then again, it might be extra funny for people she fights to be completely floored at a dragon calling Azure mom.

Either way, Azure waves to H.T. and heads over to Jimmy with the others!

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta nodded in agreement with the logic, taking a glance around at the potential chaos and ruckus. He wasn't keen on just mad dashing to people in plain sight, especially with any potential guards out and about. He'd attempt to guide the two through the quietest path of least resistance towards Jimmy, or at least, to where he thought Jimmy might be frequenting. He kept a general idea of where people went, but.... it is a prison break, who knows how things'll change up!

"Hrm. Will have things once out. Is... mean to be left with nothing. Though... uhm... what is wanting once out?" Vanta directed the question towards Pyrus, though a quick glance towards Azura left the question open for them to answer too?

Pyrus recoils a bit at the yelling.  "Wow.  You'd even stop yelling?  OK.  Do that, then.  Not yell.  Oh!  And stand on one leg!  Pat your head, rub your belly, and sing!"

He giggles and follows after the others with a happy tail-wag.  "Getting more stuff sounds great!"

Pyrus considers Vanta's question. "I waaaant... something yummy to eat.  Like emeralds, rubies, and some sapphires would be nice.  Diamonds for dessert!"

There's a very good chance that Pyrus' wrap sheet includes more than just, "guilty of being a baby lava dragon."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

The nurse doesn't seem to understand Pyrus at this point, shaking and wild-eyed for how freaked out she is, and will probably full-on vahzilok throw up on him if he doesn't leave.

Azure answers Vanta, "Honestly, I just want out. But if I had a wishlist of stuff... I guess it'd be a machinegun? Millions of dollars?"

She looks down at Pyrus. "You have extremely expensive tastes. Here." she creates an ice cube. "Chew on this a bit for now."

Jimmy Dortz is what the Zig likes to call a 'model inmate'. He never disobeys any of the rules, and is always gaining the favor of the guards by making their jobs easier. What no one realizes is the Dortz is actually manipulating the whole scene. He rats out prisoners that he wants to see punished, and in doing so he earns favor with the guards, which he uses to get privileges that other inmates don't. For as much 'good behavior' that Dortz seems to gain, you really don't want to get on his bad side.

When the trio make it to Jimmy, he looks at them. "So you're the one called Vanta, eh? Well, all sorts of guys and gals locked up here have powers, but some need gadgets to make their powers work, or just to make them work better. I can give you access to the lockers that hold all these devices, and after you go there and get something for me, I can help show you how to use them.

Ok, last week I had my buddy's shiv confiscated by one of the new guards here. As a favor to him, I told him I'd get it back.

They locked it up in the gallery with all the other gadgets and weapons confiscated from the villains locked up here. Tell ya what, you go get me that shiv, and in the process, you can get whatever devices your powers need to operate. This way, I'm in the clear and you can make your big breakout a tad easier."


Azure thinks and nods, rushing over to the locker indicated. She finds the shiv, pockets it, and then starts looting a bunch of stuff...

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta would gesture towards Azura, who was already on the scene, on the acquisitions, and on the taking of gadgets. Vanta did follow though, quick to look through the lockers for whatever small trinkets here and there might be missed by Azura, and hopefully not -actually- missed by their corresponding inmates. He's fine with pilfering, but taking from the wrong person might land him trouble if THEY get out, or if they have friends on the outside. That said, Vanta Rat could be called Pack Rat too... anything could be useful after all!

During that time, he did glance toward Pyrus. "... Rock-eating? Only gems, or is all rocks 'kay?" He'd raise an ear, curious as to what the lava-dragon could eat. Plenty of smaller stores out there with various types of rocks and cheaper crystals for sale, or geods. Things he could get without causing a massive RIP chase, or an incredibly angry crime boss or friends-with-the-shop mercenary on the chase.

Pyrus' eyes go wide when Azure makes ice.  "WOW!  Thanks, Mom!"

But as soon as he noms on it, there's lots of cracking and hissing in his mouth along with steam shooting out.  "Bleh!  That's no diamond!  What is it?"

At the locker full of tech, Pyrus sniffs out a tank full of napalm.  Probably belonged to some fire themed villain.

"I just found out there IS a rock I don't like eating."

He starts chewing on the napalm tank.

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Azure answers Pyrus, "It is an ice cube. Ice is water so cold it solidifies. My powers are about cold."

After the trio has what they want, Azure heads over to Jimmy and gives him the shiv.

Jimmy says, "I'm sure you're out of practice in using your powers, so you should probably talk to Caze over there and learn the basics of combat."

When the trio make it to Caze, he says, "Jimmy sent you, eh? Well a lot of folks here are out of practice when it comes to combat. That won't impress anyone in Arachnos, and you better impress them if you plan to stick around for long. Sure, they think you're hot stuff now. That won't last if you can't show them some mad skills."

He quickly goes over some fighting tips (In game, he goes over your HP bar and powers bar) before sending the trio over to Blake. Blake shows the group how to use enhancements. Then sends them over to Morben, an arachnos agent who the trio get to through a fissure in the ground that leads to sewer grates where Morben stands waiting and shows the trio how to combine enhancements. He then tells them to go out to meet Tamaki in the Yard.

Tamaki says, "Lord Recluse, the most glorious leader of Arachnos, thinks that you may be a predestined soul. His Fortunata, Kalinda, has seen that you may well be one of those who can lead Arachnos to eventual victory over the heroes of Paragon City. We'll see about that. From what I hear, you still have a lot to learn, and even Kalinda isn't sure exactly who her prophecy pertains to. She just knows they're here in the Zig. I've been instructed to issue you a test of your combat abilities. If you pass, then you will be escorted to Mercy Island. Then Kalinda can test you for herself. I must see your combat prowess for myself. I take it Caze explained how to use your powers, so let us put that knowledge to practical use. Go east from here, out into the Yard. Once there, defeat any two people. Prisoners, guards, I do not care. When you have defeated two, return to me."

Azure shrugs. "Fine. Not gonna complain when I'm being broke out of prison and taken far away from here. C'mon, guys."

She heads over to the yard where there are dozens of prisoners and guards. It is chaos. "He said defeat. That means the first one to attack us gets beaten up. Remember; subdue. Do not kill."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

Vanta took a cautious step back in regards to the napalm tank munching. He had no doubt there were at least a few people that'd snack on those, but to see it personally gave the rat just a little bit of concern. Though, he would keep it in mind that tanks of napalm are apparently snacks for the lava dragon.

Vanta listened to the fighting tips carefully. While he had some tricks up his sleeve, an upfront scrap wasn't his strong suit. Sneaking, skulking, and making use of the shadows are helpful, but so is knowing how to avoid getting hit. Amongst the chaos, Vanta kept as low a profile as he could amongst the two, nodding in response to Azure. "No die... only defeat."

Re: CoX: 01 - Breakout

The idea of Mommy being all about cold upsets Pyrus deeply.  For comfort, he suckles on the napalm tank like an oversized baby bottle till his belly's so swollen it drags on the ground.  He pays close attention to Caze and Tamaki, full of questions, but too timid to ask them of the mean-looking guys.  It's a big relief when Mommy is all shrug about the scary stuff.

"Two for each of us?  Six for our group?  Or.  Can all three of us gang up on one then again on another?"

Torn about hiding behind Mommy or standing protectively in front, he opts for staying at her side.
