villainy commenced [[1x1 w/ the-nug-king & hexspecs!]]

[grey matter]

[No not exactly lol, I'm not the best combat writer but despite Lucas saying he doesn't know how to act he definitely can and can cackle madly. He can definitely go full-on faking mad scientist on someone so that'd be fun to rp. Also, you can go ahead with that and you can have her misgender Lucas if needed because, well, plot and in characterness. For sake of this if you need to, his dead name is Olivia.]

[the-nug-king]

((Mad cackling is Good. I think for a while they'll probably just be getting out from the dungeons under the school where the elevator left them anyway, just let me know if there's ever anything you want to come up I guess. Maedryn probably won't misgender Lucas because I don't think she knows him well enough to know he's trans, but okay!))

[[yeah i was just wondering, it was an If Need Be.]]

"Good luck to you too. Try not to pull any stupids either," he said, falsely eloquent, warming up his menacing voice and fake madness.

Finally, Lucas took a deep breath and cut the wire. He stood up and began to pull open the door.

[the-nug-king]

"I never do anything stupid." They helped pull at the other door, revealing a dark cave outside, underneath where the elevator was normally used to travel.

He glanced around. "Is it safe to move...?"

[the-nug-king]

They stepped out, a hand on their gun."Well, probably not, but neither is staying here. If Professor Maedryn wants us dead, there's nothing we can do about it. She's cleverer than we could ever hope to be. Cleverer than just about anyone could ever hope to be, come to that. Just hope she's in a magnanimous mood, after her huge success here."

[grey matter]

"Yes. Right then." He stepped out, following Three, sweeping a lock of his hair to the side. "All this tension is making me queasy yet antsy. I don't like it, but I think I'll just have to get over it."

[the-nug-king]

"Yes, probably." They looked around. "Have you ever been to this part of the school before?"

[grey matter]

"Not as far as I can remember... eheh... Sorry if that makes me a disadvantage somehow."

[the-nug-king]

"No, I've never been here either. And it's not on any official map of the school. I suggest we try and find a way up."
