WHO: Alice and Bran with possible Eric later. WHEN: Week 15; Wednesday, late afternoon. WHERE: Starting at Eric's and then working its way to Jannati proper. WHAT: Bran and Alice's Most Excellent Adventure. RATING: TBD but probably high-ish for violence, at least. STATUS: Closed/in-progress
Following several days of observing their Master's schedule – it turned out that Eric was quite the creature of habit, barring certain exceptional circumstances – Bran was reasonably confident he had figured out both the time and the method of their escape.
That is to say: wait until at least an hour after Eric had left for work and, with the aid of his admittedly limited magic, coax the door into a more co-operative mood. It wasn't perfect, not by a long shot, but it would have to do for the moment – and, being able to practically taste freedom already, he felt more than a little bold.
“Quickly now,” Bran said, easing the door open and nodding for Alice to join him. Dressed conservatively, as usual, with a heavy coat hanging off his tall frame, dark hair if not neat then certainly bordering on artfully dishevelled, he was about as close to inconspicuous as he was likely to get. “I don't know how long this'll hold so best make our escape while we can.”
