That doesn't mean it's not salvageable.

[showbooty]

If you stay here, it won't be.

[secretbooty]

What the hell did you need, anyway?

[showbooty]

Something more important than whatever yours is!

[secretbooty]

I doubt it.

[And during all this bickering, the guards are actually getting fairly close—it's not like they can see them at all, even if the guards can't see them.]

[showbooty]

I'm going to bring this entire company down, so stay out of my way!

[secretbooty]

Weren't you already talking about leaving?

[showbooty]

Yeah, you leaving.

[secretbooty]

Make me, if you want me to leave so badly! You're all talk and no action!

[showbooty]

As you wish!

[WHAT IF I AM GRABBING YOU TO CARRY YOU OUT]

[secretbooty]

Hey!

[but she's actually fairly light and easy to carry around, she's a wind mage after all, so she's naturally tiny and light.]

[showbooty]

[I CAN'T FLY LIKE YOU THOUGH so i'm going to be dropping low quickly to try to carry us out in a pocket of darkness]

[secretbooty]

[except: yoooo there are the guards]

Shit!

[showbooty]

[clapping a hand over Jasmine's mouth and hissing]

Don't make a sound!

[I'M TRYING TO RUN AROUND THEM WHERE THEY CAN'T SEE guess how well that's working]

[secretbooty]

[good thing she's good at being quiet on the job—in order to try to help iris, she throws wind at her in an attempt to at least help her move faster.]

[showbooty]

[well, the good news is, this speed boost is helping, once she gets used to the boost Iris is booking it like no one's business.

The bad news is we're being shot at.]

[secretbooty]

[Well. Shit.

At the very least, Jasmine can manipulate the air to slow down the bullets even as she books it out of the area, but it's by no means perfect. She almost gets grazed by a few bullets in the process.]

Shitshitshitshitshit—

[showbooty]

Stop making noise, you idiot!

[As the wind boosts them forward, Iris is going to be casting an illusion that makes them look like they're still running at normal speed, way behind where they are.]

[secretbooty]

They can't hear it! Come on, I'm a sneak thief.

[I CAN STILL SUPPLY THE SPEED BOOST THOUGH AT LEAST, but that doesn't leave the obstacle of the guards in front.]

[showbooty]

They might!

[FUCK IT I'M JUST GONNA TRY TO RUN THROUGH THEM WHILE THEY THINK I'M FURTHER BACK]

[secretbooty]

[AND I'LL KEEP PUSHING YOU, but due to the nature of what I am doing I can't exactly give myself a speed boost when I'm shoving you along...

which means she just leaps up, climbing everything she can to get up and out.]

[showbooty]

[and once she sees Jasmine going out, she... hesitates. Just long enough to look backwards for a minute, but she's bounding up after Jasmine after a moment, following her out.]

[secretbooty]

[... why though YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW ME IN BEING A MONKEY]

[showbooty]

[because i need to make sure you're really out

and also the doors have gotten a rather uncomfortable number of guns between me and them now]

[secretbooty]

[I thought you could illusion yourself out though!!!

Sorry I just prefer the monkey way out though, it comes with being the kind of thief she is.]

[She settles into the shadows a few blocks away, though.]
