As I opened my eyes, I found myself to be drooling. Imagine the sight of me drooling like a baby while I was asleep, sent shivers down my spine. It would be embarrassing. It would be the front-street material for my bane. As I was still cringing, my inner voice chuckled at me.
"That would be bad for you indeed", my inner voice remarked.
I thanked her for her commentary.
Wait? Her? You might be wondering as you read that last sentence. Her? Wait just a moment. All will be revealed soon. Patience is key I would say so myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same thing for now.
Beneath me is a pool full of green liquid. Could be acidic? I am not sure. That scene in particular gave me a lot of Joker VS Batman vibes. Guess who is ripping off ideas now huh? How ironic, after announcing himself as a genius mastermind during our last "friendly encounter".
I was hanging upside down, tied against my will. My only saving grace was the chains wrapped around me. Imagine if I were to slip from my bondage, that would be unfortunate. Definitely wouldn't want that to happen. Imagine the infamous hero Midknight Breaker being thwarted by a measly mundane trap of acidic bathtub.
"Where is he? Getting his costume ready?", my inner voice snorted.
"Probably preparing for his dramatic entrance as always", I replied back.
The mad scientist was nowhere in sight, so me and my inner voice try to device a plan to escape from his grasps. My inner voice recommended that the best course of action was to climb the chains first, escape later.
"Good idea, if it wasn't for those thorns over there!", I shouted as we both laid our eyes on the top of the chains, covered with thorns. Believe me, they were not there for decoration. They could ruin my chances on getting my homework done if it were to kiss my fingers, or worst, ruining my gaming experience with Pekora and Miko. Come to think of it, we were about to plan on playing Counter Strike today last night. I hope they are okay, waiting for my return and all would be super depressing.
"Any ideas?", my inner voice asked.
"Want to try swinging to the ledge over there?", I replied back.
"Good idea", she replied.
By using the principle of momentum, I began to oscillate my body, rocking sideways. Like a pendulum, I tried my best to gain a higher momentum. I tried and tried again. Probably took me around 2 minutes, I did it.
Now what?
I reached the ledge, sure, perfect BUT we have no methods on latching myself to said ledge.
"Use your teeth!", my inner voice laughed.
"Great idea! Einstein would be proud!", I replied back in a fit of annoyance.
As ridiculous as it sounds like, it was our only option. Much to my dismay, I tried bitting the goddamn ledge like a dog gnawing a bone. Let us hope that this stupid idea will work!
