“Jeez, and here I thought Leona was a pain.” Breaking into Heartslabyul and smuggling out a nerd wasn’t exactly on Ruggie’s Night Raven University bucket list but, hey, he did it. Aforementioned nerd is with the hyena now, haphazardly wrapped in sheets and stuffed into a wagon full of fallen leaves and garden blossoms. Ruggie’s wheeling the boy out to the entrance of the Heartslabyul dormitory— Which, the small Savanaclaw student notes, is eerily silent. A question teeters upon the beastman’s lips, a curious inquiry whether there’s a Queen’s Rule that prohibits midnight loitering. If this were Savanaclaw, there would still be students relaxing at the lounge or playing a midnight bout of Spelldrive. He knows better than to satiate passing curiosity; it’s not like he’s trying to get an earful of this freshmeat’s woes.
“So… Y’think that Ace guy is gonna snitch?” Ruggie chooses to inquire instead as he starts pushing the wheelbarrow out the mirror. He thinks his idea for a decoy was genius: Four fluffy pillows to act as the mass of Deuce’s body, topped off with a cobalt blue wig he stole from the Film Studies Society. It’s not like Ace or any of the other first-year’s roommates were gonna check to see if Deuce was present and sleeping... Unless Heartslabyul was that intense, then yikes!
There’s momentary distortion in their surroundings before the duo finds themselves zapped into the mirror chamber. “—And you can get out of the wagon now, by the way. We’re in the clear.” Beastman lets go of the handles at last and slips off his backpack. He checks his possession: A wide assortment of snacks, a spare flashlight, some batteries, rope, a knife, and— Oops! Something else he shouldn’t mention. His mind drifts to the errand that he’s running on behalf of Azul.
Dwarve’s Mines, right? Ruggie’s nose crinkles. Honestly, he has no clue what the place even is, but it shouldn’t be that hard to find a lost parcel… right? The delivery service probably chickened out after seeing some rogue bear.
everyone, let’s run! laugh with me, @piquuse! (ft. @magniku )
