5 ♐ [Video] (Backdated to a little earlier in the event) Alex/Nepeta/Equius chain-shenanigans

[b100b100dbeast]

[Up in the library, Equius has nabbed some blank scrolls, stolen some paints from the Bower, and is messily finger painting some rather suggestive artwork depicting an extremely muscular half-horse-half-humanoid creature.

A beast of true muscle.

Suddenly, a tight metal shackle appears over his wrist, much to his surprise and displeasure. When the video function activates, any reader will be treated to a brief glimpse of some very... awkward art. You won't get a chance to stare for too long as there's suddenly a fist with a pair of cuffs on the screen.]

Why can't a STRONG noble be left alone in this intolerable keep, to appreciate some of the finer tastes in life? What benefit could one possibly get from inconveniencing me any further?

They've chained you too? To anything, or did they leave the job unfinished like they did for me? I'm certain they will not remain for too long... But, stay aware, just in case they choose to add more to this little trick.

No, it's just... a cuff. Not attached to anything. And it's annoying, and it won't come off, and now my wrist hurts.

[Of course she tried to break it.]

[ audio ]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

Let's hope it remains that way. And I agree, it is very much an annoyance... Is your wrist alright?

[If a sliver of concern slips out, it's completely on accident. A serious Equius must always remain serious.]

[ audio ]

[unit_67]

What? Yes! Yes, it's fine. I tried to pull the cuff off and, uh, that didn't happen. Nothing big! Don't worry.

[ audio ]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay, good. Do not take any unnecessary efforts to rid yourself of these bonds.

[Is Equius actually worried about you, Lily? DOES HE CAARE? Well of course he does. We've established that by now.]

Also. You had suggested wanting to do something together, again. Did you still want to? Perhaps after these chains are gone.

[ audio ]

[unit_67]

Right.

[Lily is going to SEARCH for unnecessary efforts.]

What? Yeah! Yes. I did. Date number two. ["Date" is such a weird word to say.] It'll be totally fun, I promise. More fun than glaring at Logan.

[ audio ]

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

Yes. Just us, this time? As... entertaining as it was before, I think I would prefer it if it were just the two of us.

[Equius would rather save his glares for something else. Like the lake. Or butterflies.]

Have you thought of what you wanted to do?

[ audio ]

[unit_67]

Yes, just us. Together. And yes, I know what we're doing. And it'll be really fun. I'll contact you after all the handcuff shenanigans! Uh, that is, if they ever go away.

[b100b100dbeast.livejournal.com]

Very well. I'm certain it will not take very long.

[He wasn't really certain, but didn't feel like it'd be very nice to make his matesprit date panic.]
