⛓ - An imprisoned plotline (i.e. imprisoned together, one muse imprisoning the other, escapees on the run)
Garrus awoke to a screaming pain in his head, blue blood sliding down the side of his face to pool by his mandible before dripping onto the ground below. When he opened his eyes, his vison blurry, he noticed a few things. He was tied up on the floor, hands behind his back and ankles together, Shepard was tied up similarly a few feet away, but he couldn't tell if she was conscious or not, her body facing away from him. They were in a metal clad room, no windows, with the smell of dirt, rust, and mud all around them. Underground? Maybe, though he couldn't be certain.
The next thing he noticed was that his armor was gone, as were his guns and omnitool, leaving him in nothing but his under suit. Though he didn't like being so vulnerable, he realized he could use this to his advantage. Whoever had tied him up obviously had not been thinking, using only a basic fiber rope that his talons could easily cut through given some effort. "Fucking amateurs..." He muttered to himself as he set to work filing the rope.
As soon as his hands were free, he did the same to his ankles, calling out to Shepard as soon as he was able to fight back should anyone enter to investigate the noise. "Shepard! Are you okay?" He whispered to her form across the room, rising quickly into a crouch to shuffle his way over to her. "Please tell me you're still alive. It'll be hard to get out of here if I have to carry you." He quipped as he worked on cutting through her binds.
