Who: Luke, Mieu, Tear, Jade
Where: Tartarus holding cell.
When: After Arietta incarcerates them.
Warnings: None.


"Augh!" Luke jolted out of his uneasy slumber, sitting up. What had happened...

"You're finally awake." Tear silently spoke, putting her hand over his hands as if to comfort him. "You've been out of it for a few hours."

However, her attempt to cover up the bloodstains on his gloves was in vain. Luke noticed, his eyes widened with disgust, and he quickly clawed off his gloves while screaming bloody murder and cradling his face into his knees, sobbing.

"..." Tear didn't know how to deal with civilians. "I'm sorry this had to happen, Luke. I... promise to get you to your home as quickly as possible."

"Well, our esteemed hosts really should know better than to hold someone prisoner on their own vessel," Jade said with a shrug.

Without waiting on an answer from the pair he tossed something into the hallway and the bars immediately disappeared. He went to the nearest communications unit. "By my name as Necromancer, heed my command. Initiate emergency plan, 'Corpse Hunt.'"

True, he knew it may not help much since the landship had been stopped anyhow. But an emergency shutdown would stop any operations on the ship and allow for only one way out. It was his hope this would distract their "hosts" for long enough to escape.

"Let's go," he said to Tear and Luke. "We don't have much time before they figure out how to get things running again."

And then he led the way to the only exit he knew would be operational at this time, the port hatch.

[[ooc: I'm guessing this would be a good time for them to find Mieu now?]]
