Oh, thank ‘Gates that had worked. Lorcan was equally surprised as Falun had been, and had been about to question the intelligence of the city at large when it became apparent it was just as unusual for the seasoned todds. Right, better not go getting too big an ego.
First challenge.
Swinging...
Ensuring that his own gear was amongst the collected objects, pressing the large warbow into the possession of Falun, Lorcan was only too eager to be making strides to their escape. After a lifetime of island living and the freedom it presented he was already feeling antsy with the enclosed...
Oh, thank 'Gates. Relief surged through the broad-shouldered todd and he expressed as such in a grateful nod: at the very least he could play the part of clueless new recruit well enough. They would be long gone come third shift, and if the stories of the city were true he doubted anybeast would...
Hi Mila, and welcome! Agreed with Orina that it's always neat seeing people from the ROC around - are there any particular sites or places you remember being on most?
Huge fan of miserable little sea rats lol, look forward to seeing Credence around the site!
Difficult though it was to mask the heat of embarrassment flushing beneath his fur at the judgements on his clothing, Lorcan supposed it could only make him look more pathetic and thus sell the lie all the better. Hating himself for such deference, he bobbed his head at the wildcat quickly and...
Satisfied that the other todds were playing their parts well, Lorcan used the situation as a means to vent some of his nerves. Jostling along his faux prisoners, grumbling and huffing, provided the much-needed opportunity to regulate his breathing and reassure himself that he could, indeed, do...
"Do I?" There was indignation beneath the bemusement in his response, ears settling back a little at the thought he might be so obvious in the city. Worse yet it was a claim he couldn't even deny. Lorcan had been raised rural and the day's events alone had made it transparent that Bully Harbour...
"Gruff I can manage," Lorcan grunted as he adjusted the clothing one final time, making use of the coat to somewhat obscure the tighter areas of the uniform. He was uncomfortable enough, but with a penchant for taking offence it would be little problem to give a stern and busy demeanour - and...
Having come from a family well-reputed for skirting the boundaries of morality Lorcan only allowed himself a moment's sympathy for the unfortunate guard before he started shedding his own gear. Much as he'd have liked to see such violence enacted on those who had dragged him in this was going to...
Nodding away, Lorcan remained silent for some time as he mentally logged as much of the information as he could. Part of him hoped that the relaxed nature of work, as he had witnessed on the docks in his youth, would make the process much simpler than they were concerned but it never hurt to...
In silence Lorcan absorbed the information, retaining the directions as best he could. Falun was correct in that confidence would be key, and whilst the headstrong todd had full assurance in his own ability to keep a level head it was the detail that was necessary to pull off the deception...
Dark eyes flicked between the duo as he calculated the risk and reward. It being his first full day, he supposed it made sense: Lorcan’s face would be little-known to the guard to arouse suspicion, and with the added uniform he could likely make for a passable officer. Alright, so he wasn’t...
Lorcan managed an empathic pout at the mention of a batty mother, but made no further mention on it: as green as he was in a city, he knew better than to disclose everything on a first meeting. In fact, he rather decided to keep his mouth shut for now and simply let these other todds lead the...
It took a good few seconds for Lorcan to cotton on, brows which had been lowered in bemusement raising in mild surprise. Though he could see little sense in what the todd had been up to, he was eloquent enough and seemed in good spirits: he’d take that over a miserable sod any day. Even if he...
