[Video/Commentlog] Alex/Nepeta/Equis will be attached to one another. XOXO

[allthesame2me]

[Alex's face pops into view, a wry expression on his face.]

I don't suppose anyone else happens to have a pair of these on them, do they? I would like to think I'd remember hijinks that involved handcuffs.

[That look he's giving right now is for you Anders.]

As it stands, I also have a key, but... [he demonstrates with the key, trying to unlock his cuffs to no avail.] My key doesn't seem to work with my cuffs. So... anyone else in this boat? Anyone else have a key they'd like to try? I'll show you mine if you show me yours...

[He offers a grin and gestures with his head over his shoulder.]

I'll be down in the courtyard if anyone wants to play a game of musical cuff keys.

[Alex watches as Nepeta tries her own key, but in truth he had been rather afraid of this result.]

Well... shit.

[He sighs and then smiles ruefully at the cat troll.]

I suppose it could be worse... we should try to find a key that matches. It sounds like others have the same situation and one of our keys might work for their cuffs and vice versa...

[And if that didn't work there was no telling how long they might be attached.]

[Done with her hissing fit, Nepeta gnaws at her fingernails for a moment as she thinks.]

Yes that seems possible. Perhaps we should ask-

[Not Equius. Bad idea.]

Someone you know!

[allthesame2me]

[Alex purses his lips, but nods...]

Right...

[But as he's flipping open his journal, there appears to be several other posts of a similar nature. This is when he speaks to Claudia and spies Derek attached to her. Insert that exchange here! :D]

Well... good news is, we're not the only ones this has happened to. Bad news is... we're not the only ones this has happened to. Annnnd, so far no one is saying anything about getting out. I think we're going to have to track down the keys that will open our locks.

Fine.

[This isn't a lot of fun right now. But it could be... It could be...]

It can be like a quest!

[allthesame2me]

[No, it wasn't terribly fun just at the moment, but keeping to the positive is certainly the key here.

He arches a brow slightly at her suggestion, and then a flash of pointy canines as he grins smoothly.]

I could do for a quest... Where to first, fearless leader?

[LARPing... would this be an awesome time for Alex to admit he'd done it in the past, minus real life monsters?]

[purrtndyfuntms.livejournal.com]

Noooo I'm not the leader!

[The cuffs jangle as she waves her hands in front of her. She can't be the leader. Karkat's the leader. And she follows him. So she can't be the leader.]

You need to be the leader for now.

[allthesame2me]

[Her reactions surprises him for a moment, his brows rising smoothly upward. He didn't see any reason that the cat-troll was incapable of making leadership choices, but he also had never met Karkat. ;)

So, he simply nods and gestures with his chin in one direction.]

Alright then... might as well start as this way as any other. Let's see if we can find anyone.
