After the final show in Moscow, as is usual for Pride, the semi-civilized afterparty gradually shifts into a massive sparkly clusterfuck (courtesy of Artolo) at a club on the ground floor. It lasts into the wee hours of 18th, and ends with an impromptu street show by some of the popular Pride performers; Terry Ward, and, later, Aramat Drawdes. There’s a hidden agenda to Music Wizards singing, of course; they’re making sure that those who aren’t fucking off don’t notice it too early, and possibly making obstacles for the security out of fans and guests.

As a mass of musicians, (lower-ranking) staff and fans gather to watch the spectacle, some of them slip away or excuse themselves to go “for a smoke” in a blind alley next to the club that’s commonly used for that, though isn’t directly visible from the show area aside from its entrance (but that’s fine, right? It’s a dead end, right?).

In the meantime, on a different street right behind the back alley, Rescuers have parked two vans and are advancing. Some of them had been contacted and filled in on the plan earlier (like, days/weeks earlier) and had tried to form a rescue team, however thanks to Blanche’s ritual it’s been more difficult than planned. There’s less of them than originally agreed, and some of them might not be in the best shape mentally.

The rescue team consists of Doc Brown, Ivan Karelin, Pao-Lin, Agent 3, Koushi Sugawara, Oscar, Mammon, Belphegor, Eiji Hino, Rarity and Yamamoto Takeshi.

Ivan, Pao-Lin, Oscar and Sugawara mingle into the crowd on the other side to direct the escapees, but Ivan and Pao-Lin ditch the plan and goes after Trucy in particular thanks to Virgo’s influence. Yamamoto helps make a hole in the wall separating the streets and anyone who’s been headed to the back alley can now trickle past the dead end and get into the vans. Mammon is further helping the effort by smuggling Xanxus and Squalo musicians through unnoticed. Rarity makes a grab for Pinkie and they attempt to go after Steven, however it fails and the ponies need fellow rescuers’ help to get back out, further thinning the number of rescuers in the field for the moment.

Unfortunately, there’s only so long Music Wizardry and illusions can cover people disappearing from the main event; security (accompanied by Eda) finally notice shit and give chase. A fight breaks out in the alley; Demyx, Agent 3, Squalo, Terry, Eiji, Rarity, Belphegor, Mai, Yamamoto and Xanxus fight back the guard allowing the rest to get in the vans.

Terry wants to go back for more musicians, so he's knocked out and tossed in the van while the escaping group continues to be pushed back. Sariel and Eiji get injured in the fight, most of the others will be roughed up. As it looks like they’re ready to flee, Squalo “deals” with Xanxus to prevent him from going after Carnies, and has Mammon and Belphegor secure him in one of the vans.

The group continues to fall back with the rescuer’s defences shielding them, managing to hold the guards back just enough to get in the vehicles. The pursuers break through and grab on the last fleeing musician, Demyx. There’s a momentary struggle as someone probably tries to pull him back in; Squalo sees it’ll give the rest of the security a chance to get in/on the van so he punts the poor kid the rest of the way out; it gives them a moment’s advantage and the car speeds off (while someone may, no doubt, be very unhappy with this direction of events.)

Aramat and Artolo stay behind. Artolo acts oblivious, implying that he was used against his will. Aramat may be confronted about her participation in the breakout.

[Such a good father. Times like this, Mammon is really glad that Xanxus somehow latched onto the parenting theory about his memories even if they’re not looking forward to the truth happening. This whole daughter position is absurdly helpful.]

[Like now, when they lurch forward to grab his hand when it looks like he might want to lurch back.]


Those other guys will help get her, Papa, I’m sure of it! So please don’t leave? And if they don’t, we can always get angry at them for doing a bad job!

[Yeah, that’s right, like hell they’re taking the heat for this. Sorry, y’all, their loyalty while working for free was limited to begin with.]

Don’t space off now.

[ Mammon is smart and knows their boss really well, because Xanxus had totally been considering going back. He needs to get her. He shouldn't leave without the rest of his band. He's even starting to have second thoughts about this whole...abandonment. Then he feels that small hand in his and he looks down at his baby girl. ]

If you're sure. It just doesn't feel right, to leave her behind. But so long as the other guys have her. But if she's not out of this safely, I swear to fuck heads will roll.

[ That's how much Luci means to him, though he's still leaving her behind for his daughter. Sorry, but his baby is the most important woman in his life. ]

[Trucy knows this this party isn't like all the others. She heard about the rescue plan that was in the works, and she knows it's going to be dangerous. For a lot of people. Her real concern isn't for herself, but rather the other people she knows. Will Pinkie be alright? Steven? Squalo? Trucy's not as worried about herself because she has a hero coming for her. She'll be just fine. But can anyone else say that?

It makes it a little tough to relax and pretend it's all normal, but she's nothing if not a showman. In a rather brave move, she decides to help in the only way she can. Distracting security. Which is why she's pestering all the guards with inane questions and random magic tricks. They're annoyed, of course, but she's not really breaking any rules. And Trucy has been very obedient to the label up to this point, so they're inclined to see her as less of a threat.]


Aaaannnd poof! Your watch was in this flower pot the whole time! Ta-da!

[He's... not impressed. But at least if he's looking at her shenanigans, that's one less guard watching the door.]

[She's pretty high on the list of people he doesn't want to see right now, it's true. Thinking about how she'd react if this went wrong, it fucking hurts and he can't deal with that right now. Can't afford to have any doubts if he's gonna make it back from this.]

[But he smiles anyway, a little embarrassed at the compliment, and ducks his head.]


Thanks. [He runs a hand through his hair a little awkwardly.] I'm not used to fronting a show like this.

[Break out scuffle]

Everything had started out fine but the moment security caught on and came after them was when Eiji jumped into action. He dodged and pulled on his belt in the same ingrained motion, slotting the Medals for Tatoba in easily.

"Henshin!"

He doesn't wait any longer than he has to, jumping into the fray as soon as the armor finishes forming up. He kicks and punches, putting himself in between them and the musicians they had come to save.

"Go! Hurry!"

[Injury]

Eiji didn't even see it coming. A blow from the back sent him tumbling to the ground and rolled a few feet with a cry of pain. When he stopped the OOO armor dispersed into light, leaving him on the ground. There was a bloody scrape on his cheek and more injuries hidden beneath the clothes he had worn.

He struggles to get back up to his feet. Despite all of it, he looked like he was going to try and keep fighting and wouldn't stop until everyone was in the vans.

3 runs up beside Yamamoto, another youth in their ranks, but she doesn't give it a moment's thought. She keeps her Hero Shot at the ready. Many of the security staff will find ink in their eyes.

"Which direction are you heading? I'll give you support with my Burst Bombs!"

[ One of the people in the van is a bright green squid that slips through a crack in the window with ease. Once she plops onto the nearest seat, she changes back into her Inkling form. ]

You okay?

[ 3 doesn't consider that even though they have met before (and possibly multiple times during staff laser tag?), that doesn't mean an ink based squid suddenly turning into a kid could be startling. ]

"In!" he called to her, smiling big and summoning Koujirou to spread Rain Flames on the enemy to slow them down.

"I've got to rescue Squalo!"

They’ll deserve it if that happens, Papa.

[No. Regret.]

[...Alright, maybe a little regret. What if someone with important skills gets murdered? Usagi is the only person they can think of that has healing skills, after all… Hrm. They hastily try to think as they keep guiding him to the hole in the wall to the vans.]


Even if she does get left behind, she won’t be abandoned, right? Because we’re going to come back to burn everything Santiago owns to the ground, isn’t that right, Papa?

[Lesedi Santiago is a much more acceptable target for his rage.]

Regretting your choice?

Squalo... At first, 3 can't place a face to the name. However, then the image of a rude silver haired musician pops up like a buoy in the ocean. He was the guy who wouldn't believe that her headphones helped her run faster.

"I gotcha! One Burst Bomb Rush comin' up!" She shoots a little more ink, and her tentacle hair takes on a bioluminescent glow. Water balloon like projectiles are thrown before them. They hit security and bystanders. Luckily for them (and something she counted on), the ink doesn't hurt them. It does blind them and knock them back a small distance. "Go! I'll follow!"

[Mai's seen her slipping around all evening but it's still jolting to see the... well, what even is the bright green looks-like-a-girl next to her? She looks at her now in obvious if somewhat muted surprise, then gives a slight sigh.]

I guess as much as I can be.

[She turns the knife over in her hand. It's not one of her typical knives from back home and she more than knows that now. She more than knows a lot of things and she's still a little ill over it all.

Her tone is a little somber.]


Artolo and Aramat didn't come, did they.
scalpedsociety: (surprise)

[personal profile] scalpedsociety 2016-06-28 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aramat's a bit tipsy at the moment, so at first she doesn't even notice Squalo sitting down next to her. It may take a second to recognize him.]

Squalo. Hey.

[Whoever said drunkenness makes conversation easier is a damn liar. They haven't spoken each other in months, and the only way she can get through to him on the phone is getting another one. Which he blocks after finding out who it is.

It's supremely awkward right now. And she only has herself to blame for this.]

I haven't seen them, but maybe someone else has!

[ She thinks it's too early to start doing a final count of who has escaped and who hasn't... but... the longer people take to get here, the less likely they will be escaping. They need to head on out to the ship and get these chips out of their heads. ]

Did they know the breakout was going to happen?

[Pao-Lin looks up from watching Trucy when Ivan taps her on the shoulder. She tilts her head a little.]

Now? [Because the point of them being here is to covertly direct any escapees, and Trucy is being anything but covert right now. Does Ivan have a plan to get her alone?]

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2016-06-29 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's hard not to spot Trucy once she starts doing her magic tricks. Ivan smiles at the idea that she's trying to help keep the guards busy. He keeps looking at Trucy as he addresses Pao-Lin. ]

Now. We have to get her away from the label. I've got a plan.

[ That he happened to think of just a few second ago. He quickly ducks behind a corner and shapeshifts into someone very familiar. It's time to take a risk and create some openings. He walks towards the guards and Trucy with his arms raised high and a voice that matches Trucy's. ]

Now, what's going on here? There's no smoke or mirrors around. You're seeing double!

[ He's... not a very good actor, but he's trying to create a stage presence that will gain attention. ]

I have to say that my impostor looks very convincing. Can I get some applause for my look-alike?
twoscompany: (YEAH)

[personal profile] twoscompany 2016-06-29 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You get used to it.

[Then, slightly teasingly.]

Planning on going solo? I think you'd do pretty well.

Aramat was providing cover I think. Artolo... I'm not so sure. I mean that asshole is bound to know about the whole breakout as long as he's not playing hero or something.

[She sounds flippantly annoyed there, even if she looks vaguely worried.]

[ That... doesn't sound good. 3 glances out the window and presses her face against the glass like that'll make her able to see them. It doesn't. ]

Did they want to leave? I know some people have cushy roles in the label and might not want to.
