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.

Oh!

[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.

Yes! That's why I was so concerned when you'd seemed about to do that!

[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...

You certainly know how to put on a good show.

( he’s sort of impressed. okay, a lot impressed. )

Though I’m admittedly less interested in the escaping part. ( is this a joke. )

( THAT WOULD BE A PECULIAR CONVO TO HAVE WITH SAMATOKI.

he blinks... and then laughs, a bit airily. )


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

( please???? stop???? )

Ah. I... see. ( he really doesn’t. ) Such intriguing hobbies. ( JUST MOVING ALONG NOW. )

In that case, you must know a number of knots.

[personal profile] yumenope 2020-02-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
So a not knot master!

( i hate him. )

Would you be so kind to demonstrate a few for the audience?

( TO THE MEAT LOCKER???? this sounds incredibly shady. )

A mannequin will do. Or even a chair. I’m quite fond of teaching chairs their place in the world, you see.

( sorry riou but there’s no way in hell he’s going to let someone tie him up. apologies??? )

( hogtie a chair. he just said that. at least gentaro’s hackles have resumed their normal state of being. he likes you riou, he just doesn’t want to be tied up. nothing personal.

of course, he’ll be patient and wait, idly leaning his cheek against his palm. )


The basics will do. I’ll be certain to stop by when I wish to advance my skills in preparation of my first grand heist. ( what???? )

( this is actually quite fascinating. while gentaro is actually very well coordinated and agile, he hasn’t learned some of these finer things. tying knots is one of them. he’s fascinated with how deftly riou’s hands move and how effortless he makes it.

the realization that riou probably knows exactly why gentaro asked and didn’t follow it up with a “that was a lie” occurs to him, finally. there’s a faint red to his face, the little shame he has creeping up. but it’s fine. it’s all good. )


Suspension. I see. And how much tension can that particular knot withstand?

Oh?

[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.]

[ He's somewhere between troubled and fascinated after watching that. ]

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?
