[OPEN] Prick your fingers, it is done, the moon has now eclipsed the sun

WHO: Albert Wesker (eventually) and whomever decides to join him (presumably you!)
WHERE: Dreamscapes.
WHEN: Slightly backdated to 8/24.
WHAT: Dreamdiving.
WARNINGS: Medical experimentation, brainwashing, child abuse, violence, body horror, depictions of self-harm, a general blanket warning that Wesker has been through Some Shit and as such this is probably going to suck on several levels.

[It's cold.

It isn't the familiar drop in temperature that might come from the weather, but a sterile, artificial chill, the sort associated with medical work - hospitals and laboratories and other places that bring with them a sharp, chemical smell and an unpleasant sense that you don't really want to be there.

Of course, the metal table against your back probably isn't doing much to keep you warm, either.

Trying to sit up will be a bit of a problem, given the heavy restraints locked around your wrists and ankles, your hips and your upper body; they're a combination of metal and leather, old-fashioned and imposing, clearly designed to restrain something very, very powerful, and they're keeping you from going very far. You can look around enough to tell that where you are is...probably not somewhere you want to stay for long - it is, in fact, a laboratory of some sort, full of instruments and vials and jars of things that don't look very nice, the metal walls giving way somewhere just on the edges of your line of sight, turning into something else - a sort of open entrance to what looks like a cave of some sort. Either way, it'll probably take you somewhere that isn't here if you follow it. Tipping your head back will show another potential exit to the area - a metal door in the wall near all the instruments and materials.

Of course, you can't really utilize either route if you're bound down, now, can you? You should probably work on figuring out what you're going to do about that, first.]

[Shuji just got here and already he hates it, thanks.

The first order of business: figuring out if he still has his satchel with his book-scythe in it, and if he does, if he can wiggle his wrists enough to be able to grab onto the book. He can think of no reason why having a weapon in his hand would make this situation worse, even if slicing through metal restraints might be difficult.]
thesettingsun: smile (okay you won't die)

[That sounds like nobody Shuji wants to meet, especially while strapped down.

Once Shuji has a grip on the book, he transforms it into its scythe form. There's no way to get a decent swing with it in this position, so he settles for a sawing motion on one of the wrist restraints. If he can just get one wrist free, he'll be much more able to get everything else off.

He's probably not going to get it off before that guy drops in, though.]
thesettingsun: neutral (I would lose my decadence)

[Shuji is still trying to saw when the door opens. When this guy speaks to him, he freezes, a chorus of 'I'm So Fucked' playing in stereo in his head.

He can't think of anything to say but-]


Trying to escape?

[-an honest answer.]
thesettingsun: smile (and you're better than the drugs)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's slow going.

[Shuji's just going to... start sawing again...]
thesettingsun: smile (man)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry if my assumptions about what you were going to do with me weren't exactly pleasant.

[Still sawing... he almost has the one wrist restraint off.]

If you have something else in mind I'm all ears.
thesettingsun: smile (I am what I wear and how I dress)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somehow Shuji is not surprised.

But when Birkin mentions the guy he's working with... Shuji stops sawing.]


You could have said Wesker was in charge sooner, I wouldn't have damaged your equipment so much.
thesettingsun: smile (from your cradle via trousseau)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I entirely believe you and I sort of wish that I didn't.

[...at this point he's pretty sure he could get the restraint off by pulling hard enough, but that sounds like hell for his wrist so he won't.]

So I guess we just make awkward smalltalk until... what?
thesettingsun: neutral (rest in peace)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[Like, why wouldn't he go looking for Wesker in a probably dangerous environment? What a weird question.]
thesettingsun: neutral (to win me over twice)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know.

[A little bit more sawing, and snap goes the wrist restraint.]

I'm still going.
thesettingsun: smile (I'm just as good as you)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. This place isn't anyone's ideal career.

[With one hand free, he can actually swing the scythe with some amount of force, which means it's not going to take nearly as long to get the other wrist restraint off.]
thesettingsun: smile (man)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Breaking something is kind of the point. Unless you want to just let me out yourself?

[Swing, swing... and now the other restraint's broken.]
thesettingsun: smile (and you will uh)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-08-26 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a familiar name, and Shuji decides he doesn't want to ask about it at all.]

If you'll excuse me, then.

[With the wrist restraints done, it's onto the ankle restraints...]

[Ah. This is going to be fun, isn't it.

The first order of business is to assess his surroundings before he starts struggling, even though he really wants to start struggling. Panicking isn't going to do any good, so he takes a moment to try to calm down before looking around again.

Three questions immediately spring to mind. First, is his briefcase here? He usually carries it with him now, even when there usually isn't any reason to; it's comforting to have something he can use to defend himself if he needs to. It's not like it'll help him escape, but it'd be good to know if it's here anyway.

Second, is there anything else that he could potentially reach? If he can free at least one of his hands he'll have a better shot at getting out of here.

Third, is the binding across his upper body centered over the blastia? If it is that'll actually give him a bit more wiggle room.

Oh, and while he's here trying to sort himself out, is there anything of note that he can hear?]
