Summary: A catch-all for the Kyln / Sierra Madre event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, the entire mansion will be part space jail, part apocalyptic wasteland desert with an abandoned hotel/casino. On the third day an escape route not previously discovered in the Kyln appears and breakouts can be planned...

...Only for everyone to find themselves walking through a large glass prison toward the toxic gas filled wasteland of a desert, the Sierra Madre. Does the prison look better than the toxic cloud outside? If you're stuck in the prison after dark beyond day 3, you'll be forced into and locked in your cell for the night. But at least locked away, nothing from the outside can hurt you. If you try to brave the actual elements in the desert it might be a little hard to breathe. The air has pockets of toxic gas and even a few seconds of exposure could prove deadly. And watch out for the Ghost People.

Inside the abandoned hotel/casino you'll find shelter from the gas and ghosts, but beware the holograms that are 50/50 with their attitude. Prison beatings, a beating from the holograms, which one Would You Rather? And whatever you do, don't try on the collars lying around unless you like to explode. Literally.

[ This is a catch-all for all your prison/desert needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and either a cell number or just a location if you didn't feel like randomizing it or you're making a top level for a public place (like the dining hall or wandering the hotel/casino). Here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun! ]

[She equally hates and loves the feeling that runs through her in moments like this. It's a rush unlike anything else, but knowing she's basically sending someone off into a hazard zone feels so off and wrong. He can call it being a distraction all he wants, but Becks knows what it really is-- he's the bait. He's the one that risks more consequence if something goes wrong, here.

But she isn't thinking about all of that now. All she's focused on is getting to that room and finding her weapons. She's cut off by another guard that she hadn't noticed, and who she can only assume came from around the corner at the other end of the hall. She's barked at to stand back, and that the room is off-limits. A warning, that if she tries to get beyond him, she'll pay for it. Becks doesn't see another way out, so while he thinks she's relenting, taking a step back and then another, and his guard is down, she jumps into action and slams the guard's head into the nearest wall. The hit isn't hard enough to knock him out, she didn't have the leverage for that kind of power, but it's enough to disorient him and she manages to get his baton from him in those seconds.]

Minato! Abort! RUN! [It's all that she can yell, and she hopes it's enough. She darts toward the hall where they were supposed to meet up again.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato heard that and nodded to himself. He immediately stopped, getting that guard off balance as he couldn't stop in time and tripped him. He grabbed the baton, shocking the guard with it once, then raced off to meet up with Becks. He didn't doubt her abilities at all and knew she could pull off her part of this mission.]

Thanks. The guards are changing shifts now and there should only be two at the door, so let's go.

[Now that they had batons, they could easily take down two guards. Then they just had to run through the doors to get out of the prison.]

[insincerecharm]

Hell yes! [She can't deny, there's a part of her that feels more alive right now than she has the entire time she's been in Wonderland. It's the Irwin in her-- danger is literally her way of life, it gets her going in ways nothing else can.

She runs with her fellow escapee at her side until they come to the door. It's an altercation of swift resolution with the two guards, caught unprepared for the attack from their prisoners.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato was so thankful that she was enthusiastic about this. It made escaping that much more effective and also, if he could think it now, fun. It had been a long time since he could work like he had a party to accompany him into battle, someone reliable and who didn't sway from their goal.

Guards down, Minato nodded over to her. It was time to get out. They did end up in some kind of tunnel with windows outside, overlooking the desert.]

Let's keep going. There has to be more.

[And it was long way to wherever they were going, but they had to leave. The alarms would go off soon enough and more guards would come after them.]

[insincerecharm]

[Taking in the look of things outside the tunnel, she's not sure what to expect, but it has to be better than what's behind them. So Becks nods her agreement.] Whatever's at the other end of this tunnel has to be a better deal. We'll handle it, whatever it is.

[The confidence in her words will hopefully carry them through the rest of the escape mission, until they reach their long-drawn destination in the distance. They'll regroup there, and figure out the next step in the plan.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded firmly in agreement. How bad could this event be? Out of the frying pan and into the fire? He doubted it since they escaped what seemed like the worst of it.

Sometimes he did look behind them just to make sure no one was following them. So far, so good.]

If you need to go back and look for anyone later, then I can help.

[Even though it would be extremely risky to go waltzing back into the prison when they were like Public Enemy Number One, but if she had friends to get out, then he would take that risk.]

[insincerecharm]

The people I know are pretty resourceful themselves-- [The thought of Maggie, stuck in a prison cell, makes her heart sink, though. She is, after all, the least-equipped of all of her friends to deal with this sort of thing. But she'd find a way out. She would. Because Maggie Garcia was not ever above asking for help. And Becks would just have to let that carry her for now.] --so I'll give them some time before I start trying to double back.

[Because it really would be a giant risk. The sort she'd only take if it became absolutely necessary.

But for now, all she could focus on was Minato and herself, and reaching that safe haven in the distance. She'll settle once they're there and regroup, think things through more when she has time to assess everything.]

[jivitadana]

[Minato nodded and pushed forward with her to get farther away from the prison. He didn't want to go outside. Wherever this tunnel lead to, it had to be better.]

Just find me. I may go back because I have a friend there too.

[And working as a team like before would be better. He just didn't want to get her in trouble.

He did see that the tunnel did lead to another... door? But it looked like it was going to go outside. And outside didn't look all that great.]

If you're ready, then let's go. Don't breathe in that red stuff.
