Reunited! (XCrown RP for NOC, #7/9)

[The Anomoly]

..:: JULY 18TH, 2018 ::..

The scene begins dark, pitch black, before slowly, fuzzily coming into focus. We’re in another first person shot, as someone wakes up from a dosage of sweet, sweet drugs. The view begins to squint and sway around, taken aback by the bright lights focused on him. We notice a few things in the area through the glances around the room. A dormant TV sitting in the corner. The walls tiled in an ugly shade of green. The floor shiny white. The person looks down, and notices they’re tied to a chair. They struggle momentarily, the bonds not giving in. They eventually settle down and look at the TV, which flickers on.

The TV footage is entirely too grainy to make anything out for a moment. But it does clear up a bit to make out Evelyn and Olivia tied back to back in chairs, more bruised and beaten then when we last saw them. The two henchman are there, holding tasers, walking around nonchalantly, as if they have nothing to do. Because they really don’t. The two captives are barely moving, having been abused so much within the last week it was unbearable. The pain, the stress, the anger, the torture. It was a wonder Evelyn hadn’t had a miscarriage in these conditions.

The rage inside Anomoly(who is the person we’re seeing the point of view from) begins to build, He begins to violently yank at his arms from the restraints, nearly getting one arm out. But his fat, girthy hand stops the escape. He groans, and sits back in the chair. Turning back to the TV, it switches to a man sitting in a cliche villain chair.

The chair spins around, and the Evil Mastermind is seated in it, hands clasped before him and a big grin probably under that mask of his, basically mocking Anomoly with the mask. He clasps his hands on his lap, and then waves to the camera, and to Anomoly.

E.M.: Hello there, Anomoly. I bet you’ve got a whole lot of questions about this. The situation, your family, why I’m doing this. Well, quite frankly, you’re getting none of those answers. What you will get is the scoop of the situation. You’re currently restrained to a chair, and you have 10 minutes to escape this predicament or else something bad, something very bad is going to happen to either you or your family, and we all know we don’t want that to happen.

The mastermind chuckles and sighs.

E.M.: So here’s your task. You must escape the restraints that bind you, break free of the walls that enclose you, And embrace what matters most. Or don’t, and suffer the consequences. How much of a family man are you? How desperate are you to retrieve your most valuable possessions? I hope that desperation is nigh, because your time… begins…

The mastermind checks his watch, chuckling again.

E.M.: Now.

The TV now displays a clock, which reads 10 minutes and counting until unforeseeable consequences. Anomoly begins tugging and pulling at his restraints for his arms, desperately trying to free himself from the bonds that hold him from his family. He tugs and pulls, and yanks and squeezes, until he’s finally able to relieve his right arm of captivity. Only pausing briefly to get the feeling back in his hand, he slips his fingers under the restraints of his left hand and quickly unsheathes that. He then stands up and moves forward… only to fall flat on his face because he forgot to undo the leg restraints.

After a quick hassle that sees him slide his boots off and slip his feet out, he laces up his boots and stands a free man… but that’s only half the task done. With the clock reading 6 minutes remaining, he begins feeling the walls, knocking and pushing to find a soft or hollow spot. He raps his knuckles on a part of the wall behind where he was seated, and it echos. He then takes a few steps back, and charges, drop kicking the wall and sending the bricks tumbling to the outside.

Anomoly takes in his new surroundings. He notes a hallway, and heads towards it. He then stops, and sees there’s a skinny walkway, and the entire sides of the walkway are laced with barbed wire. Anomoly sighs.

Anomoly: This is gonna hurt.

Anomoly then charges, powering through the barbed wire and cutting his skin to pieces. He doesn’t let himself succumb to the pain, rather he blocks it from his mind. He exits the barbed wire hall, chunks of his flesh hanging from the barbs, and keeps moving forward. He finally sees an open room and begins to run, before screeching to a halt when he nearly runs head on into a fire pit. He quickly scans the area. There’s nothing to help him across. He has to jump.

Anomoly: Fuck my life. I don't need this shiiiiiiit.

Anomoly takes quite a few steps back, and charges, leaping nearly over the fire pit. He lands about waist up on the floor, his legs dangling dangerously over the fire pit, and then he began to slide into the pit. He quickly scrambles, making some progress, but barely escaping with some light burns to his boots.

He shakes off the damage, and runs into the open room, running and falling to his knees in front of Evelyn, quickly untying and embracing her. He then unties Olivia, and the three embrace in the room. Suddenly…

Cut to black.

BANG!
