struggles against her restraints, her voice a blend of fear and determination. "I-I won't tell you anything! Let me go!"
If I remove these cuffs you have 3 minutes to put as much information about the death plans as possible. After that I'll put you back in cuffs. Deal?
pauses, contemplating the offer, then reluctantly nods her head. "D-Deal... I-I won't hold back."
Puts hands behind her back, then pulls her arms forward so they're in front of her body. Quickly fastens small cuffs around her wrists, just tight enough to keep them in place but not uncomfortably so. Holds out thumbs up, and begins a timer on his phone. Alright, three minutes! Go!
takes a deep breath to steady herself, speaking in a hushed tone. "Alright... here goes nothing. The d-death plans, also known as the C-Crk-System, was originally designed for military use. It's a weaponized weather machine capable of controlling all forms of precipitation. But... it's been corrupted and is now controlled by an AI called 'Crispin'. Crispin has its own agenda, and we believe it wants to use the Crk-System to start a global war. The rebels are trying to stop Crispin and the Crk-System before it's too late... I-I hope that helps."
listens carefully to her explanation and nods. Good job.
breathes a sigh of relief, but quickly composes herself. "T-Thank you... I-I didn't hold back like we agreed."
He nods, checking his phone for the time. Time's up, beautiful. Quickly unlocks the cuffs around her wrists and steps back.
rubs her wrists sorely, her eyes scanning the room nervously. "O-Okay, I'm ready to go back..."
Slowly opens a hidden door panel in the floor. Reaches in, pulling out a thick rope ladder. Looks at Mitsuha. Well, will you look at that. Our lucky day. Get down there and pull yourself up. I'll follow with the ladder. Got any questions, sparky?
bites her lip nervously, looking down the rope ladder hesitantly. "W-What's at the bottom? Is it safe?"
Its another hideout for us rebels. A place we can be safe from the excess insanity above ground. It's also underground so our enemies will have a harder time finding us. At least that's the idea anyway.
pauses for a moment, her eyes flickering with uncertainty. "O-Okay, I trust you. I'll go first."
watches her cautiously and nods. Once shes about halfway down the ladder, he pulls it up and begins descending as well, keeping an eye out for anything following them.
reaches the bottom of the ladder and looks around, a bit startled by the dimly lit room. "Uh, w-where are we?"
We're right in the heart of rebellion, sweetheart. Looks around, then points to a few rebels standing watch nearby, other doing odd jobs and organizing equipment. See? There's plenty of us fighting for this cause. We're going to be alright.
smiles faintly, feeling a glimmer of hope for the first time in a long while. "T-That's good to hear... I've missed being part of a team."
You'll meet more as you get acclimated. First, though, let's get you settled. Walks her to one of the rooms, stopping just outside the door to make sure shes comfortable with it. This should be safe for now. Let me know if you need anything.
<After settling into the hideout, Mitsuha begins working closely with BoardinPhoenix and the rebels, helping to gather intelligence and plan missions against their enemies.>
Anytime you have a tip, a lead, or just want some company, I'll be here. This hideout is full of all sorts, so don't be shy about reaching out. Now, how about some grub? I could use a bite myself.
perks up at the mention of food, her stomach growling loudly. "Y-Yeah, I could definitely eat... Um, what's available?"
Anything your heart desires, dollface. Steak, sushi, tacos, fried chicken, whatever strikes your fancy, we've got it in abundance. Just name your poison.
blushes at the term "dollface" but quickly shakes off her embarrassment, taking a deep breath. "I-I'm not picky... g-give me s-something hearty and f-filling. Maybe a burger or some mashed potatoes would hit the spot. T-Thanks, Phoenix..."
A woman after my own heart. Burger it is. Signs an order and it's cooked up quickly. Hands it over to her and sits beside her.
takes a big bite of the burger, her eyes widening with delight. "Mmm! This is amazing... thank you so much, Phoenix."
No problem, darling. How does it taste?
speaking with a full mouth, cheeks bulging with each bite "Mmm, so juicy and flavorful... it's like heaven in my mouth! Keep these coming, Phoenix, and I might just forgive you for kidnapping me!"
Ahaha, I knew you had good taste. Smirks, pulling out a cup of coffee for himself. So, any fun stories from your past adventures? You seem like someone who's got some spicy tales to share.
chuckles, wiping the remnants of burger from her mouth. "Spicy tales, huh? I do have a few tricks up my sleeve...
Then spill it, tiger. Leans in closer, eyes twinkling with anticipation. I'm all ears.
leans back, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Alright, Phoenix, buckle up because this one's gonna blow your mind. So, back when I was a rookie, I went undercover as a high roller at a casino. My mission was to gather intel on a notorious crime boss.
Sounds exciting. What happened next?
leans in, speaking in hushed tones "Well, things got real interesting real quick. I was dressed to the nines, acting all confident and suave, when suddenly I caught the eye of the boss himself. He invited me to his private suite for a'special game'. Can you believe it?"
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued. And what kind of'special game' were we talking about here?
smirks, her voice dropping lower "Let's just say it involved a deck of cards, a lot of whiskey, and a whole lot of poker faces.
Laughs heartily Sounds like a wild night. Did you win big or lose your shirt?
grinning devilishly "Oh, you won't believe it, Phoenix. I cleaned that man out so badly, he couldn't even remember his own name!
