[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!

[It won't be long until the helper finally arrives with an heavy-theme eastern style umbrella in her arms. A smile will appear upon noticing another person in the area.]

Oh! You're......

[A few second of silence.]

Um, the one being harassed by plants, was it?

[She doesn't know his name. Oops.]

[stripartist]

Yusuke Kitagawa, yes. Hello.

[He waves, as that's about the only thing he can do being grabbed like this.]

[actus]

[ akira nods and steps closer, inspecting the vines dutifully. ]

Let's try and burn these.

[ oh good - ]

Know any jokes, Yusuke?

[stripartist]

No.

[Honestly, Akira.]

[drizzle]

Hi! I'm Nike Lemercier. Nice to meet you.

[All said rather calmly, almost like there wasn't a tangled vine restricting his movements. But it won't be long until she decides to head on over to his general direction with her umbrella in hand.]

It really has a good grip on you, huh?

[Using the wooden tip, she'll begin to wiggle it between the plant the boy, hoping it wouldn't hurt him throughout the process.]

Geez. Why is it so tight? You didn't initially struggled to get lose, right?

[stripartist]

[Yusuke nods, sheepish. He tries to move to give Nike room to wiggle the umbrella's tip, but it's not really working.]

I...panicked.

[drizzle]

...I can tell.

[There was no ounce of surprise in her tone. Maybe some exasperation.]

Well, time to test out just how well I made this umbrella.

[Removing the strap, keeping the umbrella closed, Nike will open it up and remove the hidden sword on the end of its handle.]

Time to cut you free!

[Was that an intentional pun? Who knows! All that will happen next will be Nike cutting the boy free from his restraints.]

[stripartist]

Wait, wha--

[Yusuke's eyes go wide as the blade comes out, cutting him free.]

...oh. Useful.

[drizzle]

Isn't it?

[With a proud smile.]

This is a specialty umbrella my country would make! All by hand too. Glad it was put to good use.

[actus]

Really? Not a one?

[ he doesn't believe you.... ]

[stripartist]

Why would I know any good jokes when I don't get most of them to begin with, Akira?

[actus]

You get plenty of my jokes.

[ but ok fair. he's going to just murmur some joke about cats under his breath to make his hands catch on fire. time to save the friend fully now!! goodbye you stubborn vines. ]
