SLEIGH BELLS RING

Those that escape from the theater all seem to come out through the same doors. When they get there, they can see that the theater isn't actually a building. There's only a free-standing set of theater doors on the playground. At the rear side of them is a brick wall.

Those that exit will find they can't re-enter.

None of the humans have seemed to notice the door or them, even those driving by.

Not everyone escapes at the same time. It comes in fits and starts, them filtering of the theater. Some can walk out mostly unharmed, some limp out, some come out supporting each other.

What they find outside is... uncanny. There in the playground is a massive sleigh, but one that looks not-exactly-traditional, with equipment and boosters that look almost like a mix of technology and something magical.

It's been expanded into many carriages, almost like a roller coaster. Harnessed to it are eight massive reindeer, champing slightly at their bits. It appears the people that attacked and created the theater are at least long gone. That means that as people slowly filter out they can check up on each other, provide first aid, and reassure each other.

OOC DETAILS
❅ Status effects: Any injuries or damage that happens to a character will stick when they leave the Multiplex. That means that someone that gets facehugged by a facehugger will have an alien larva problem that may be causing some serious indigestion soon. Anyone that gets Borg-nanited through the neck will start having the nanites take over them. However the myth healing will slow these processes down until they can get to the Pole, and there are magical means at the Pole to help the characters survive this.

❅ First Aid/Other Supplies: The sleigh will have magically anticipated their needs. While it won't have the antivenom for Kaa because only a magical plant that grows at the Pole can cure the bites, it will have plenty of well-stocked general first aid kits. Applying first aid can help the myth healing heal someone more quickly and is important for injured characters that opted out of the myth healing.

❅ Timing: People can bendytime the timing of when their characters have escaped to play in this and "Let's All Go To The Movies" at the same time. People can also intro here late if they need to wrap some things up in the other post first.

❅ Intro: Players can use this post to intro instead if that's their preference. You can just assume your characters had to run from scary things in the theater and either handwave their circumstances, or assume your character found a way out more quickly than others.

It takes a fair amount to phase Rowan; they’ve seen things they could never have even dreamed of only a few short years ago. But the idea of a body scan causes the hairs on the back of their neck to stand up and an unpleasant tightness in their stomach. They might have the body they always dreamt of, but could a scan pick up the history of what they had? At the very least there’s a real chance of it breaking the Veil, and while Rowan’s pretty sure that’s not a big deal in a place with cats with boots and swords and giant tatted rabbit/kangaroos, it’s not their place to make that decision alone.

But the hesitation is a blink and you’ll miss it pause, and their broad smile falters only for a second before it returns. It’s accompanied by a tilt of their head and a curious glance, grey eyes scrutinising the man in front of them with interest. “You got some sort of tech for that?” The curiosity is genuine, but they’re also hoping to know what they need to keep an eye out for.

“I mean, no offence or nothing, but I reckon I’d know if I got hit by sommat else. This were only ‘cos they caught me off guard.” They weren’t expecting a pair of talking wolves going on about being a traitor to the queen or something.

"Not yet. It is an ability that was granted to me: it will look like a white laser that comes from my eyes, and is painless as you can see."

He does a demonstration in real time by sending a white laser through his own hand. Of course, the possibilities of doing this properly on himself are very limited. He will never be able to scan his own brain, even though he definitely needs it after what happened in Wilderlands.

He is not sure why Rowan feels the need to specify the getting caught off guard part in a context like this where they were clearly outnumbered and likely underequipped. Is this person perchance insecure about their combat skills?

"On the contrary. It is very common for people not to notice severe damage they received in a life threatening situation. The release of endorphins and adrenaline can contribute to a delay of the sensation of pain."

Interesting. Rowan leans forward without realising they're doing it, wanting a better look. That really is something new, and also something they really don't want taking a read of them.

"Oh, right, no stress there. I been in protests on the reg. It ain't the same as that shit," they punctuate their point by thumbing back towards the cinema without looking at it, "but getting cornered by a couple of wolves ain't got nothing on being kettled by a bunch of jumped up coppers on ponies." The real problem was that they don't seem to have access to their shapeshifting abilities at the moment, so there was no chance to take advantage of a form better suited for fighting or to heal afterwards.

"Ta for the offer, though. You a doctor or sommat?"

"This is not my specific area of expertise, I have to admit. But I have professionally performed surgery."

In an environment with limited gravity, too! He remembers the little droplets of Agent Maine's blood floating up towards the ceiling as they were preparing to stabilize him after he got shot nine times in the throat and hit by a truck. Good times.

"If you are not comfortable with me scanning you, we can always try to make an arrangement with the natives."
