[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

[Have a smile, Nepeta, for Alex is rather pleased to hear from you first!]

Awesome, Nepeta... I'm just outside the barracks in the courtyard. Do you have a pair of these on you, too?

[text > commentlog]

[purrtndyfuntms]

:33 < yes but my key doesn't unlock them either.

[And a few minutes later, she's sauntering into view in what she thinks is the most feline fashion someone can manage while still standing on too legs.

When she gets closer to Alex, she holds up her arm, the key safely speared around one of her claws.

Yes, that is definitely the safest place for it.]

See?

[Alex waits patiently in the courtyard, because he really doesn't have much other choice in the matter than to wait or ignore the cuffs altogether.

So, he waits and soon enough the sound of approaching steps draws his attention. He smiles in relief... and then makes a sound of surprise as he is suddenly jerked toward Nepeta by the wrist.]

Wait, wh-???

[He stumbles, but thankfully maintains his footing as he's dragged most uncerimoniously to Nepeta's side...

Where the open end of his handcuffs attach to her right wrist.

And closes.

Alex stands where he stops, staring at their now connected wrists.]

What the hell just happened?

[Besides the obvious, of course...]

[Video]

[3wayforjustice]

... Handcuffs.

Really.

[Video]

[allthesame2me]

[A wide grin for you, Anders, and a very deliberate wink.]

Yes, handcuffs.

[He lifts his left wrist so the offending items are visible, his expression bemused more than anything. At least they were just steel and not silver...]

I don't suppose you remember anything that I don't?

[Yes, Anders, he's teasing... mostly.]

[Video]

[3wayforjustice]

Oh. I was wondering what those were.

[They looked like small manacles. And a smaller chain. Nothing too threatening, just annoying.]

Not particularly, no.

[Video - Sealed]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex grins a bit wryly and seals this to protect his Mage's sensibilities.]

These, darling, are the finest in bedroom apparel.

[His tone is teasing and he doesn't look too serious... mostly.]

Although they are generally lined with fake fur of some kind of the bright colored persuasion.

[He wasn't considering keeping the cuffs. Nope, not at all... well, not if he couldn't find his matching key...]

[agentknockknock]

[Video clicks on to an amused Claudia. If Alex is playing any attention to the video he'll see Derek in his wolf form hand cuffed to her. Throughout her post the wolf tries to sneakily nudge his way into more of the video]

You're not the only one.

I've got a key, but I don't know if you wanna get handcuffed to a ferocious beast too.

[And there's a little grumble from said 'ferocious beast' at that. Yeah. Hi, Alex. This would be Derek in wolf form looking at you, totally trusting you not to tell Claudia that he's actually a werewolf, not a regular wolf.

But also he's not terribly pleased at this. Cranky puppy.]

[allthesame2me]

[Oh hai there, Claudia. Alex hasn't met you yet, but there is no denying whom she has attached to her own wrist. His eyes widen just a fraction as the wolf catches his eyes and then..

He barks a laugh, shaking his head with mirth.]

I'm more than happy to check out your key... I've got one too, so I can offer it to you and your partner in crime if you'd like? How'd you even getting attached to him?

[He won't give you away, Derek.]

[agentknockknock]

I don't even know. I was outside, went to pet him, and bam. I'm handcuffed to a wolf [She reaches over and starts scratching behind his ear. What? It's just a big dog, clearly not some guy stuck putting up with this. Nothing weird about ear scratching. DerekWolf can be heard grumbling in the background.]

Could be worse. What about you?

[allthesame2me]

[Alex's brows rise, uncertain as to the mechanics of how that worked exactly, but not doubting it. This place was a pleathora of puzzles, after all, and things weren't ever particularly easy.]

I've seen him around and he's a pretty nice guy... certainly worse people you could be cuffed to around here.

[At the latter he shakes his head.]

Not attached to anyone yet, but I'll be wary of it.

[Then he gestures to the wolf, a half grin on his face.]

At least your vicious man killer is fairly placid and easy on the eyes. I'll make sure to keep the hell away from the moose in the stables...

[Getting attached to HIM would not end well for anyone at all.]

[video] Only back-tag if you so desire o.o

[ghostly_stutter]

I do, and I have a key that does not work on my handcuffs.

Alex, was that--

[She noticed a very furry Derek attached to the pretty red-head, and felt something uneasy stir inside of her.]

Derek.

Do you think we could go find him together? Where are you right now?

[video] Oh, you bet I will!

[allthesame2me]

[Alex comes online, but it is a short while after his initial post. You might notice him looking just a tiny bit frazzled, Chloe.]

Hey, Chloe... yeah, that was Derek. He was fine as far as I could tell...

[Chloe might pick up on some overlapping conversation and might even catch sight of Nepeta shackled to his wrist. He sighs and just looks utterly frustrated.]

Ahh... I'm kinda in a bit of the same boat right now.

[video] Eeee! <333

[ghostly_stutter]

[Chloe notices the frazzled look alright, and she's a bit unnerved and yet humored to see it.]

Ah... Alex? Wh-what happened? Did you find Derek? Or...

You're... hand-cuffed to someone, aren't you?

[Great, now Chloe is afraid of running into someone and finding herself in the same boat...]

[video - sealed] <333333333

[allthesame2me]

[Thanks for the support, Chloe. LOL]

I've saw him over the journals, but I haven't spoken to him. he's in the same situation as me, save for he's attached to someone different. He's stuck in his wolf form with Claudia right now and she has no idea he's not just a super smart, nice wolf. He can hold his form, right? How long can he keep it up?

[And then a dry laugh and he nods.]

Yeah, Nepeta... So far we're okay... trying to track down someone with a matching key for us, but so far no go.
