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.

[ 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...
no subject
[ ..Well, from like. Super special ops in the Navy so he knows all kinds of stuff. ]
no subject
[There's another blink, as she tries to work out how the one thing precludes the other.]
That's not a common skill in the navy, where you're from?
[Fantasy worlds, man. Every ship in the Lominsan navy's gotta have at least one person that can waggle a stick and heal some hurts.]

[Which seems terribly unusual to her, and maybe a little alarming, too... but apparently that's how some of the other worlds out there work.]

Thank you again for that demonstration. I hope I never need to actually use any of that information... but mm, unexpected things happen.
no subject
[ Because like. He'd happily learn and then he could dislocate his thumb whenever?? That'd be great. ]
no subject
[No one has ever asked her that, before. Not here in this place, anyhow. So she frowns thoughtfully, considering the matter.]
I... suppose it's possible, if you're able to manipulate aeth... er, well, here, it would be manipulate chroma. With that, I could try and teach you the basics of conjury.

Give me a bit of time to make a proper wand or two, and then perhaps we can get together and give it a go?
no subject
[ He just kinda does stuff on his own schedule so he can adjust. ]
