The Midnight Prince

[Rokag]

That got Rokag to pause for half of a second. "Yeah, and if he dies, I'm sure as shit going to be killed the second they ARE born, so since I'd rather not have to think about THAT for three years, I'm going to see if I can do something NOW rather than wait and hope shit won't get worse." She went to her closet to try and find something to cover her face in.

[GamesMaster]

"I'd help you escape. We can run away. Just don't get hurt doing something stupid tonight!"

[Rokag]

Rokag snapped back at Carbonne. "And you can't find him with some fucking magic or something?! Aren't you supposed to be fucking helping him?!"

[GamesMaster]

"Look, girlie, if I was a hundred feet tall and made of rock? Yeah, I would totally bust him out. As it stands, the only reason I got away at all was that I can teleport. I can hypnotize someone maybe, or levitate myself up onto the counter, but that's not finding someone now is it?"

[Rokag]

"Well, then what the FUCK are we gonna do!?" Rokag snapped, a slight chill in the air around her as she tried to breath. "W..would you know if he was dead?"

[GamesMaster]

"Yeah," xe says. "Kid's not dead. If he was, I'd vanish. If that happens, I need you to recover his body and get the amulet back. Understand? It's for the kids, you won't be able to bond with it."

[Rokag]

There's a slight moment where Rokag tenses, her hand seeming to grip for something that wasn't there. Xi can't fight like this and you know he can't. "Stop...fucking talking about that right now. I'm tired of doing fucking nothing while shit like this happens. You want me to get it, you'll stop acting like the only thing I'm going to do is wait for his corpse to wash up on the fucking shore or something, got it?"

[GamesMaster]

"Look, think of it this way: his cover might be blown, but this is one time that asshole might come in handy. Someone just kidnapped the son of an Eel. No way he doesn't take that personal and pull out all the stops to get the kid home, right?"

[Rokag]

Yeah, if only to kill him. "Which only works out if he changes back and they don't tell Indou...SHIT how long can he stay like that?" Rokag was pretty sure that whoever grabbed him probably wasn't an eel...right?

[GamesMaster]

"You're not listening, he hadn't changed yet when they grabbed him. So they grabbed him as Shisou, not as Shiori."

[Rokag]

Rokag blinked. "Oh....fuck, that's still bad." Rokag lets go of some of the tension in her voice. "Okay...so they...kidnapped the son of a lord and an Eel's kid. That...okay yeah, that would probably look bad and he'd do something to get him back. How the fuck did they even know he was out there?" A few more deep breaths and the temperature around her was back to normal...ish.

[GamesMaster]

"I don't know, girlie. They were waiting in ambush near the stable shed where he keeps his stuff."

[Rokag]

"And don't fucking call me girly, alright." Rokag took a breath. "But fine, I won't go trying to find him now, but you better hope that they DO find him."

[GamesMaster]

"Sorry, habit. Shisou's the kid, seemed like you need a nickname to match." Carbonne peeks xer head out from the covers in apology. 

It's a long wait, but shortly before midnight, Shisou comes walking in the side door, whistling a small tune. He's got bruises all over, but he's very much alive, and moving under his own power. 

[Rokag]

Rokag is...shocked isn't the word for it. She walks up and tries to seem only slightly concerned. "So...what happened? Are you alright?"
