They can both push the door open more so that they can both comfortably get through it, but the cage still will get stuck unless they spend more time... that they don't really have. It sounds like the crowd at the cage are getting restless and looking for someone else to take it out on. ]
She pointedly avoids making eye contact with the crowd (or tries to, anyway), instead nodding at Mandricardo.]
Ahaha, well, about that... The other cage might be gone for good. But hold this—
[She is shoving the cage at him. Please do not drop their baby? And then she is taking the leash and a blanket, if they have one left. If they don't, then she strips off her coat to use that instead. Quickly and carefully, she swaddles sweet Hector-chan up and slaps the leash on her. Don't @ us for putting a leash on a bat this is a special bat!!
Anyway, assuming Mandricardo follows her, she will hold this still swaddled baby to her chest and start heading out the door. Please behave, child.]
[ Hector makes a bat noise, but she doesn't fuss as they handle her. She seems to mostly be content that she's no longer being horribly jostled by everyone grabbing at her.
Once they're outside the door, they'll see that what was blocking it was a large crate. There's writing stamped on it, that reads PEST CONTROL on it. As they walk, they also step on something. Well, someone. The person Ichinose had been wrestling with.
They're now back on a main road, but a different one from before. The sun has freshly risen, so there aren't many noises of people out and about. They can either go left or right on the road.
[Love their little baby child swaddled up in a bat burrito.]
[Mandricardo is more than happy to get out of there, not caring for stepping on the guy behind the door. Who cares! It's his fault! And now they're on the road again...]
[ Tanaka makes a noise that can only be described as what a shrug would sound like.
But off they go! This street isn't that fancy compared to the other one they were on, but it's still nice enough that there isn't really trash on the street and it doesn't smell like pee. You know, the city smell.
They can see the occasional car pass by them, but traffic is light this early in the day. It's a quiet walk, but they'll eventually hear the sound of feet running on pavement. ]
[Mandricardo quickens his step a little more in the direction of the sound of running, raising his voice - its definitely a little on the hoarse side because of the prior strangulation.]
Hey! HEY! If any of you joggers want to give the both of us any trouble, let me tell ya, I will not hesitate to throw you in front of a car, okay? Go around us, or you'll have to deal with me!
[Mandricardo at his lowest most exhausted point is just tapping full into his delinquent part of his personality. He sneers.]
Ichinose looks a little startled by the outburst, eyes widening as she keeps Hector close to her chest. While Mandi has his outburst, she will chance a glance in direction of the footsteps — just in case they're actually visible.]
Whoa, stop, stop. Calm down. [Sir, your blood pressure.] Are you okay to run? Let's just go.
[She does not want to get into a fight now that they're minus two whole ass cages.]
[Welp! They're running. She's tucking Hector in her shirt so it's more of a papoose situation, supporting her with her arm to reduce the chances of, oops! Honey, I think I dropped the kids! Noooo dropping the baby.]
Just keep running! I'll let you know when you're there.
[ That doesn't really answer the question, but it's fine.
Objects are being thrown at them now. Small things, that people would normally have on them-- water bottles, keys, cell phones. They must be rather pissed if they're willing to get rid of that, huh. But the crowd just grows as the seconds pass. ]
[ The crowd keeps up with them, continuing to throw random items at them in an attempt to slow them down. But since they're so focused on what's behind them, they won't notice two invisible people (who are holding very visible baseball bats) step over from the side. One of them swings at Ichinose, but only hits her on the arm-- she manages to miss a good chunk of the blow, at least, but that's still probably going to hurt.
Mandi, however, gets the full brunt of a metal bat right to the face. ]
Hector might be getting jolted when the bat makes contact with her arm. Sorry, child. She hisses in pain, making sure to keep her arm secure under the baby bat while she pulls out the glass bottle from before — and immediately tries to bash it over one of their invisible attackers. And if it breaks, she will use it to stab at whatever part of them she can reach.]
[ I rolled a 2, so not only does Ichinose break the glass over one of them, she also gets to stab them. She'll also get to see the blood pour out from the wound.
Hector makes a scared bat sound, and the attacker who got Mandi is now turning their attention to the bat and Ichinose. They run forward to try to hit her. ]
[He finally gets back into his senses, though his nose is bleeding like a sieve. Everything is blurry, but he sees the movement of the bat, and he's turning to just straight up tackle the man.]
Tanaka, you bitch! If you get us into these situations, then help us get us out of them-!!
[WELL... Mandi maybe has the second attacker handled, so Ichinose will kick the guy she just stabbed while she's at it and try to steal his bat. She deserves a bat for going through this shit twice? (No.)]
[ Mandi tackles an invisible person to the ground. They yell, and try to hit him with the bat, but it's an awkward angle now so it doesn't connect as well.
Ichinose now has two bats. But also, the crowd is still running after them.
Tanaka talks. ]
How's Hector? You guys can't last a little longer?

[This is great! Mandricardo huffs, trying not to look back.]
Um, get her on the leash and get her out of the cage so we can fit? Then we can put her back in that collapsible cage.

Will you go home now?
no subject
[Mandricardo is more than happy to get out of there, not caring for stepping on the guy behind the door. Who cares! It's his fault! And now they're on the road again...]
Hmmmph. [He hates Tanaka SO much.] Fine. Maybe.
no subject
Once outside, she keeps cradling this little bat burrito and kind of? Tries to hide her from view as much as possible.]
... Yeah, alright, fine. Will you act as our navigator?
[Time to go home... finally?]
no subject
But Tanaka just sounds happy. ]
Okay! Just head left and keep going. You'll reach an area with a lot of apartments. Try to watch out for the morning joggers!
no subject
[He pinches the bridge of his nose and curses.]
Let me guess. The joggers are gonna attack us because this bat is supposedly cursed, right?
no subject
This is getting old... Oh, well, guess we should get it over with.
[Time to go left!]

But then they hear more feet running. And more. And more? You know the stampede in the Lion King and how that sounded like?
Tanaka whistles. ]
Oh... maybe run?
no subject
[And. Uh.]
[Haha! Maybe he...bit more off than he can chew?]
[Mandricardo feels his delinquent part shrivel up like a grape in the sun.]
...Okay. Uh. Let's...go?
[And he's just going to grab Ichinose by the arm and run the opposite way haha!!]
no subject
Tanaka-san, how much longer now?
[Are they even close to their home?]
no subject
[ That doesn't really answer the question, but it's fine.

no subject
Ah-! We...just have to keep runnin'-! Shit! I hate this city!
[Mandricardo does have Agility Rank A, so his running is pretty good! He's just making sure Ichinose is along for the ride.]
Are we there yet?!
no subject
[SHE'S A NERD WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO RUN LIKE THIS
But adrenaline is one hell of a drug, so she's keeping up! For now, at least. I do not trust Francy. The wasted iPhones make her sad, though.]
no subject
Mandi, however, gets the full brunt of a metal bat right to the face. ]
no subject
[Mandricardo gets absolutely smashed in the face - he can probably feel his nose break from the force of it, reeling back.]
[Sorry, Ichinose, he's seeing stars from the impact, and won't be able to help you out at this moment.]
no subject
