Life on the naughty list

Dec 25, 2010 13:30

[So Lyn - the twitchy, eternally paranoid thief that likes to never be far from a door or window he can bolt out of - fell asleep immediately after reading his letter from Santa, and has only just awoken someplace very different. Specifically, a padded cell with no doors. Also? He's in a straitjacket ( Read more... )

He can't hear you.

[A painfully blunt answer, but hey, he's cursed for Christmas.]

Where are you?

Bullshit. He's probably somewhere enjoying this... [Lyn is breathing hard from his exertions, leaning on the wall by the phone.]

Dunno where I am. Some kinda padded cell, like they put lunatics in. [Beat.] ...there's no doors. Or windows. At all.

There must be a door. It's probably hidden; check the walls for seams. Regardless, nothing lasts here; you'll be let out eventually if you can't find your own way.

[Wow, that was kind of blunt. Legault blinks a bit on the other side of the phone.]

...I don't know where that came from.

I can't check for anything, I'm in a fucking straitjacket.

[There's a long silence after Legault's rather harsh statement. If an absence of sound can in fact sound hurt, this one is approaching it.] ...yeah, thanks. Guess I'll just wait here then, hunh?

[Maybe it's the tone of voice, which has its own magic still even if Molly lacks the rest of hers at the moment. Or maybe he was running down anyway. Either way, Lyn falls silent for a second, panting for breath - and when he speaks, it's at a more normal pitch. He still sounds deeply angry, however.] I've been locked up by goddamn Santa Claus, that's what's wrong!

...Santa Claus? The man from those Muggle horror stories?

2/3 nineheadaches December 26 2010, 00:21:04 UTC

And what do you mean locked up?!

Sorry for late. =( a_gentle_boy December 29 2010, 05:41:11 UTC

Mr. Lewellyn?! Mr. Lewellyn, calm down! Where are you?! What's wrong?!

No problem! <3 kleptophile December 30 2010, 00:26:38 UTC

...I'm in a cell! A fucking padded cell!

a_gentle_boy December 30 2010, 02:27:48 UTC

W-What? But there aren't any of those . . . Do you know what building you're in?

kleptophile December 30 2010, 07:20:27 UTC

How the hell could I know that?!
