video; this is a ridiculous safety PSA
Handcuffs, zipties, duct tape. Restraints can be a fun part of your chroma-generation routine, but when they're used against your will, they can be dangerous. If you get kidnapped, even people without superpowers or physical fitness can escape if you know how.
[ Unlike most videos you can find, Riou doesn't bother talking for 10 minutes that no one wants to hear before getting to the point, so he lifts his wrists up and they're already tied with zipties. He explains that you want to put as wide an angle as possible between the heels of your palm, then slam your wrists against your chest or, if from behind, your butt will do the job. He demonstrates. A less painful way is tying your shoeslaces together around the ziptie and doing a pedaling motion with your feet to saw through it. This is easier for people who have less physical strength. Like this. These methods will both work with duct tape too.
It cuts to him in handcuffs then, behind his back. He has a paperclip and shows that you can actually just press the pin in the handcuffs alongside the ratchet with a paperclip or bobby pin if you have one-- this is called shimming. With the shim in, click the cuffs tight as you can and the shim will block the pin and allow you to release the cuffs. He doesn't talk much during this one, just showing. ]
If you are unable to preform any of these, you can escape any means of wrist binding by dislocating your thumb.
[ Thankfully he doesn't do it. He's not going to do it unless he has a reason, but he does hold his hand up and show exactly where to push to do it for the video like he's going to do it. Please enjoy your near heart-attack before he stops. ]
I don't recommend practicing that last one. Many of these methods will hurt, but in a life or death situation, the hospital is better than the alternative. Stay safe.

[She is definitely one of those people that is alarmed by that near demonstration of a dislocation. So much so that she feels the need to tap her device and open a feed and object.
By the time the message actually gets sent, he has already stopped.]
I... I'd thought you were about to actually do it! I'm sorry.
That was all... that was very informative! Thank you.

[ He's a little on the extreme end at times, but he's not going to hurt himself unless the risk is far greater than the injury. But he wanted to show people how just in case!! ]

[She blinks a few times, trying to bring her own tone back down from 'hysterial' to something a little more... conversational.]
You might've been capable of healing yourself? That's not so uncommon a skill, I'd think...

( he’s sort of impressed. okay, a lot impressed. )
Though I’m admittedly less interested in the escaping part. ( is this a joke. )

Enemies, true. Though, why would you be interested in keeping those individuals in one place? Seems like a waste.

An impressive performance.
I will be sure to practice in my spare time, though I worry how you came into this knowledge.
Were you often the victim of captivity?
no subject
This was necessary training as preparation for possible capture.

However, what if the bindings were reinforced with magic?
I assume, in this land at least, that chroma may aid in loosening the bindings.

Even if Riou could pop his thumb without a second thought, thank god he cares for his viewers' nerves. This clown still laughs about it, but he's seen funnier things... ]
Ever thought about taking a side hustle as an escapologist? [ With different charms than Houdini. ]

[ He shows him the little red marks on his wrists from the zipties!! They're already fading though, it's not bad and Riou's nice and healthy and strong. ]

[Even if not for common methods of chroma-generation, it's actually really solid safety advice in general— not everyone is lucky enough to be able to shapeshift out of bonds or use brute force to break them.]
Useful. Probably saved someone a lot of hassle by sharing this.
[To put it mildly.]
I hope nobody is forced to use it, but good that they're informed in case they are.
Re: video
I hope so. It's best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
