open ♡ always repeating, today is another bad day

[dereban]

WHO: Himeko Inaba, Guzma + those willing to attempt a rescue!
WHAT: A kidnapping mini-plot.
WHEN: Throughout October 12th
WHERE: In the city.
WARNINGS: The usual warnings for kidnapping + obvious swearing/cursing. If other things come up, I'll update.



Some days are normal.

However, given some of the quests that are occurring, today is not a normal day in the slightest.

After all -

Who would consider kidnapping a part of their "to do" list?

[ OOC: For organization's sake, all sections of the kidnapping will be split into separate top levels! Feel free to plot anything on the OOC post linked above, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

The network post related to this miniplot can be found here! ]

🖤 KIDNAPPING; closed to guzma.

[ Inaba had opted to go outside today, in spite of feeling rather... physically weak; sure, she had gone out the last couple of days for work - as a content creator, sometimes you have to go and explore so that she can come up with new things to vlog about.

But today isn't about work. Today is just finding ways to clear her head and just actually -

Relax.

Little did she know that today was not her day for relaxing... ]

[Guzma didn't actually have any major plans. He had the device from the crime board in use, but not really a clear plan of who to use it on. Just random people he had no connection to.

Which is why he considered finding a random girl alone lucky. He had no idea who this was - nor if she was a native or an otherworlder. Internet, what's that? He doesn't follow things.

He had plenty of bent-up anger and annoyance to use.

Once she was somewhere quieter with no one else around, he pointed the device at her and launched the emotion cage to trap her.]

[dereban]

[ While Inaba is generally a perceptive one that pays attention, the stress that had been getting to her over the past couple of months has caused for more exhausted and her thoughts are muddied.

So she isn't given a second of thought here when the cage is launched at her, and it's then and there that a mixture of emotions wells in her eyes and the swirling thoughts in her head give way to something completely different: fear. At least, for a second before she whips her head towards the source of who threw the cage at her, to which that fear subsides into a more frustrating emotion that makes her clench her hands into tight fists.

A bubbling anger, which is matched by the way her brows narrow and her expression grows dark. ]

What the hell do you think you're doing, huh!?

sorry for the delay, notif got lost somehow

[grumpygolisopod]

[Guzma grins a bit, not even bothering to hide since what's the point of that.]

What's it look like? Kidnappin' ya.

[He didn't really intend of actually kidnapping her - or at least ask for ransom since who would he even ask that from - but it made it more fun if she thought that, right? Likely he'd test how long this would last and then just let her go.

Then again he supposed he was holding her hostage, so close enough. Sure he was an awful kidnapper.]

Hope ya didn' have anywhere to be for a while.

🖤 RESCUE ATTEMPTS; open.

[dereban]

[ This is a toplevel for any failed attempts!

The attempt that will succeed will be its own separate toplevel. Feel free to go as nuts as you'd like - within reason, of course. ]

🖤 RESCUE SQUAD; closed.

[dereban]

[ Closed to Raiden Mei, Rinku Aimoto, Ruby Rose and Guzma!

Feel free to utilize the OOC post to plot out things as needed. ]

[It had seemed completely impossible to triangulate where in the city Inaba was being held from a small, detail-sparse video clip. Except... that Inaba was a famous influencer, and idol fans are a terrifying beast. Watching the fan communities yielded five convincing guesses with backup evidence within half an hour.

It's probably nothing to see a bird flying around, even if it's certainly not a Nightwake bird. Rinku did a fly-by of the area, and while... it's still Rinku so she got distracted a couple times, she does make her way back to the others, shifting back to human and landing on the ground.]

I think it's this way! We gotta hurry, I dunno if that guy saw me or not!

[She gestures down an alley and pulls out her sword before going down.]

[silver_eyes_rose]

[Ruby wouldn't have even thought of doing something like using the power of idol fans. She's impressed with Rinku's ideas! With what seems to be the location in hand, Ruby nods and unsheaths her scythe.]

Don't run off too fast!

[And she'll follow behind.]

🖤 POST-KIDNAPPING STUFF; open.
