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.

The feeling is mutual. Have you?

[ Sorry. Even if he's no longer in the military, he can't talk about special operations missions to anyone without clearance. ]

It's also useful if you are arrested on false charges and need to stop your fellow lawnmower from strangling the arresting moon knight so he doesn't crash the car while you're all in it.
[ That's not confidential though that's like. A week or two ago. Which was then followed by Riou stopping Jyuto from kicking Samatoki's ass before they made it to the station. ]

I promised not to ask for details, but you certainly are piquing my curiosity.
The enemies I habitually fight don't take captives. But I've had the occasional difficulty with adversaries here. If you have other tips you'd care to pass on, they would be received with gratitude.

He tries to think of a good tip though, and takes a few seconds before replying with: ]
If you're thrown in the trunk of a vehicle, the car jack is typically concealed under a false floor inside the trunk. You can press it against the trunk's lock and crank it to break the latch and escape.

[Mechanics the Schnees ain't.]

Very well. That would please me.

Jyuto said it's fine. He'll meet us. When are some good times for you? He is a moon knight so he has to work around his schedule.
no subject
I can spare half an hour in a week's time whenever it is convenient for the both of you. No more.
[Right now she needs to keep searching.]
