[So. This is a Problem. Yusuke'd heard that there were vines to be found in the western part of the island and that a few people were gathering them because you can never have enough rope, and he wants to be helpful so he thought maybe he could do the same!

And then he got a little lost. But he found his way to the vines eventually!

And then he, like the easily distracted by art boy he is, got distracted and started toying with a few of the vines in an attempt to see if he could do anything with them other than use them as rope.

And now he's in trouble. Thank God for telepathy?]

If-if anyone can hear me, I've found myself in a...situation!

[SIIIIIGH]

This doesn't sound like it could ever be useful, then...

[But it's fine, because he's approaching the right area now and whistles loudly.]

Did you hear that?

[stripartist]

That whistle? Yes, though it wasn't close.

[lalliho]

[Heck.]

How far in did you think it was a good idea to go...

[mapsio]

I'm going as fast as my feet will carry me! Just keep talking to me and I'll be there in a flash!

[Also she's bringing an axe so, NO WORRIES ON NOT GETTING DOWN.]

[stripartist]

Not very. You might just be more left than I went in at.

[Duh.]

[stripartist]

Thank you, Haru. I'm sorry for this--I simply wanted to help.

[mapsio]

Don't be sorry. I guess this is a lesson learned, correct?

[Almost there...almost there.]

[stripartist]

Yes: borrow your axe if I want to try and cut down any plant life in this world.

[. . .]

Do you have your axe here?

[mapsio]

It's not my axe, no. I wish.

[She's arriving, waving at Yusuke now. Her axe currently? It was a gift from someone at the beginning.


Do the vines raise to resist her cutting at them?]

[stripartist]

--oh!

[He can't wave, but the vines fall easily under her axe if she wants to try.]

I should have realized it wouldn't be your axe. I can't find my katana, after all.

[mapsio]

[She's going to very skillfully (read: carefully hoping she doesn't chop Yusuke instead) begin cutting at the vines holding onto Yusuke.]

Not even when I was able to change into my Phantom Thief outfit in the other world did I have my normal weapon.

[stripartist]

Really? Did you have it with you when you arrived here?

[He has to move his elbow, but she's doing good so far.]

[lalliho]

More left...

[At least there's that. He reorients himself and trudges in.]

Maybe you should whistle.

[stripartist]

I can't, I'm sorry.

[lalliho]

[what…that's dumb]

Then yell I guess, I don't know.

[clearly the solution.]

[stripartist]

Alright.

[Yusuke does, actually calling out "yelling" because it works, okay. Sure enough, it's off to the side and just a bit further back than Lalli is right now.]

[lalliho]

[…………what

Whatever. This is easy enough to track, even if he thinks Yusuke is even more ridiculously stupid than he thought before. What a world...

Soon enough, a stick is standing a few feet away with a knife in one hand while the other rests on the strap of a rifle. This sure is a guy wrapped up in vines.]

...Hi?

[Oh right, he should actually start cutting these things.]

[mapsio]

My thief outfit? No.

[Chopping more of the vines down.]

[argenteums]

» Well, my buddy does. Dunno if he'll give it to me, though. Still, I'm pretty good with not-guns, too! You got anyone else on the way? «

[stripartist]

[It's been a Day, Lalli, be nice.]

Hello.

[He can't wave, but he can incline his head a bit.]

Sorry about this.

[stripartist]

I was fighting when I was brought here. Maybe that will make a difference when we go someplace we can use our persona?

[mapsio]

Perhaps? I can only hope that the next place we travel will give us that option.

[Almost freedom for Yusuke!!]

[stripartist]

Not at the moment, no.

[stripartist]

It would be nice to speak with Kamu Susano'o again, after being so abruptly cut off from him...

[lalliho]

[A vague hum is Yusuke's only response as Lalli makes calculated cuts and moves out of the way of curious vines going after his ankles. He's confident he could free himself, but... Eh. Why waste the time? He doesn't give a warning before slashing away a particularly strong vine that was doing its best to keep Yusuke upright. Whoops.]

Be careful.

[lalli you're the one causing trouble now]
