[Alright. Waking up in a cell in the tunnels is one thing. Being stuck there since then? That's another thing entirely. It's far, far, far too reminiscent of being stuck in the Boundary... only even worse. At least the Boundary was at least slightly more comfortable than... this. Regardless, ν-13 is, simply put, sick of being stuck in her little cell. And it's high time that she tried to think of a way out.

...Fortunately, it looks like the person that dropped her off here didn't manage to find her journal - safely tucked away in the small bit of space between the armor on her right leg and the leg itself. Not the most comfortable place to hide it in, but... well, it looks like it worked.

When she's certain that nobody is around to pay attention to her, she'll write a quick message to the people she's on good terms with... albeit with two exceptions. She's not sure if one of the people this is directed at is back in Luceti yet, but seeing as Noel had already returned a few days ago...]

[The writing's slightly messier than usual, but it's definitely legible.]

Can one of you come to the eastern tunnels? [Vague? Yes. She'll elaborate once one of them responds. Because as much as she hates to admit it, the damn power cap down here's keeping her from breaking out on her own. And it's... kind of hard to move with her armor active, too. Sigh.]

[And the sound of footsteps definitely catches ν-13's attention. There's... not really much she can do as long as she can't get up, but...

...Well, the lights on her armor and her visor kind of stand out, to say the least. Once they're close enough to her cell, Ted and Thirteen should probably be able to spot them. Hopefully that's enough to give away where she is.]

[That quickly catches Ted's attention.] Over there!

[Thirteen will quickly head toward where Ted indicated, and will find Nu lying down on the floor of a cell.]

Nu!

[...And he examines the cell door. Locked up tight. Dammit.]

[...Heh. They really did show up...

Hm. Well, it's... kind of hard to get up on her own, so for the time being, she'll just watch the two, opting to remain silent for now.]

[And powers were sealed here, damn.] Got any ideas?

Unless you know how to pick locks quietly...

[Thirteen shifts his gun. He may just have to shoot the lock out.]

Not at all. [Huh, he hasn't seen a lot of guns before, especially not this small, so Ted backs away anyway just in case it was really dangerous.]

Then it looks like this is the only key we have.

[Thirteen raises his gun and fires two .45 caliber rounds into the lock, breaking it. The echoes of the gunshots probably reverberate through the tunnels. After shooting, Thirteen will haul the cell door open.]

[Okay, so it's small, dangerous, and it can open doors. How convenient. Ted quickly follows, concerned. Sorry Thirteen, but priority goes to the girl with the billion ton armor.] Hey, Nu, you all right?

[Under normal circumstances, the gunshots - or more likely than not, Thirteen raising his gun - would probably have made ν-13 back away a little. As it is, though, she... can't really get up on her own, so she'll simply opt to observe for now.

In response to Ted's question, though, she quickly focuses her attention on him for now.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [A few visible injuries aside, but they don't seem to be bothering her all that much. What does bother her, on the other hand...]

Um... but... I can't get up on my own. [She's tried, but her armor - the leg armor in particular - is just too heavy for her to move without her hovering ability... which isn't working here in the tunnels. Dammit.]

[Thirteen quickly holsters his gun and kneels down next to Nu. Great. She had fallen. And she can't get up. Oh well.]

Then let's get you to your feet.

[Thirteen tries to help Nu up, but holy dammit, that armor's heavy. He looks over to Ted.]

Hey, go over to her other side and give me a hand.

[Ted does just that, balking when he realized just how heavy the damn thing was.] How did you move in this before?

[Heavy the armor might be, but at least they'll probably only have to help her get up to her feet? She should be able to walk on her own once that's done, shouldn't she?

...Well, we'll see.]

Um... I can hover to move like this. But... [...And she trails off. It's pretty obvious why that doesn't work here. Ars magus-based abilities don't work particularly well in an area that blocks any abilities a normal human wouldn't have.]

[With both of them, they should be able to help Nu to her feet. Or what passes for feet with those armored greaves. Once she's on her feet, Thirteen doesn't stop acting as a brace, though. That stupid leg armor looks impossible to walk in. Honestly, who the hell designed it?!]

There. Now, let's get you out of here.

[Helping too for now. He's not familiar with Thirteen, so he doesn't want to ask Nu anything until he's sure he can talk to her alone. For now, he's going to stay silent while trying to help carry her out of here.]

[Them acting as braces for her is probably a good idea; even if one were to ignore the fact that the armor seems to be rather difficult to walk in, the Murakumo is far too shaky on her feet than she should be. With Thirteen and Ted helping her out, though, she can at least move again, albeit slowly and very cautiously.

Like Ted, she'll remain silent until they make it outside. Not because she doesn't want to talk, but because focusing on not falling down again is currently much more important to her than focusing on a conversation.]
