A Glorious Comeback (1x! with *Adashi*)

[mandalorian]

Rhys takes a breath and brushes himself down before turning and leaving to go back to the elevator, letting it scan his hand before he's stepping inside. He isn't sure how long negotiations even took but part of him is sure that Jack would be passed out by the time he returned.

Well, Jack wasn't asleep, but he was definitely in an odd spot, seeing as his entire lower body was hanging off a ridiculously tall bookcase and the rest of his body squeezed into of the case and ceiling at the moment, his plating extended so to keep himself from sliding out of place and to the floor.

Rhys looks around the apartment for a bit, unsure of where Jack really is, and is about to call him when he turns and realizes. Oh. "Oh." Rhys repeats out loud, feeling just a little stupid for not checking the shelves. He waits a moment or two before crossing his arms, staring up at Jack with a raised brow and just a little bit of judgement. "Whatcha doing up there."

Jack lazily lifts a foot and kicks his foot, faintly clawing the shelf for a moment before letting his foot drop again. "I'm squeezed into a tight spot... a not very enjoyable one surprisingly.... And i'm... I'm kinda stuck... My spikes are in the ceiling... literally." He mumbled in a grumble, obviously embarrassed.

[mandalorian]

"...Seriously?" Rhys questions, and once Jack confirms, he immediately takes out his echo to take a photo and send it to Zero. "Okay, now that I've done that... Should I pull out the butter and start greasing you up? How exactly do you expect me to get you un-stuck?"

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Oh harhar. How bout you get a ladder and try to push the tiles off my back instead.... did you seriously take a picture?" Jack retorted.

[mandalorian]

"Uh.. Yeah. That's what I just did, actually." Rhys confirms, quietly clicking his tongue before moving on. "First of all, I'm not sure why you think I just have a ladder lying around in the penthouse, but I don't. Second of all, I'm gonna call uh.. Oh god. Who would I even call to handle this?" He sounds more amused than stressed, raising a hand to place under his chin as he smiles up at Jack.

Jack kicks a bit more, clatters his talons against the bookcase and wall, leaving scratches and scuff marks while trying to push back, most that did was gouge his spikes into the ceiling more and get him no were. "I guess this is my life now!" He hissed, very unhappy.

[mandalorian]

"Oh my god, stop. You're scratching everything." Rhys complains, taking a few steps closer to the bookcase and placing both hands on it. "Okay. I'm just... I'm gonna climb the bookshelf. And I know how stupid that sounds, but I've kinda got experience climbing, I got this. Just stay really still and I'll save you or whatever."

Jack huffs a bit but lets his legs drop once more, going lax as he grumbles softly, mostly about his situation and drums his fingers on the top of the bookcase.
