[ The crowd that Sakyo finds himself a part of is pretty loud and rowdy, to an almost annoying degree. He's not sure what they're all fired up about but he can at least take a brief glimpse before deciding it's none of his business. He eases past one person after another before noticing a few are actually throwing fruit around. The hell?
He finally breaks past the large grouping, and a few people seem to be urging him forward, someone even trying to put a tomato in his hand. He stares at it then looks up only to find something you'd only ever read about in some musty history book or watch in some old movie: an individual is locked away in stocks, apparently being punished for something.
[ His eyes welled up with tears, Taichi isn't even using his little nickname for Sakyo right now. This is a serious matter! There's some kind of red dripping down from his head so he has one eye closed...
It's not blood, though, it's just where he got nailed with some beets. :( He's been beeten! ]
[ You probably think you're so clever, Taichi, but Sakyo's a yakuza. He recognizes blood when he smells it, and this is clearly not the same. However he has to admit, the kid's looking awfully pitiful right now, and it... bothers him.
Ugh. ]
Idiot. What'd you get yourself into? [ Sakyo goes up the stairs that leads to the stocks, and he can see the remains of fruits on the ground. Jesus, they're throwing this at him? That's harsh. This is some old-school medieval type punishment for sure. ]
[ He's calling you a clown, Taichi. And a rather pathetic one for the time being. The lock keeping the stocks closed seems too sturdy to break off, and he can't bust the thing open in any other way, certainly not bare-handed. ]
[ Great job relaying absolutely not false information to him, Taichi, because this means Sakyo can focus his dark magic on this poor innocent guard who is now keeling over in indescribable pain. With the man incapacitated, Sakyo can easily just meander over to him, pat down the body, then swipe the keys. He also leaves a curse on the guy that'll last for a good few days. Enjoy feeling a burning sensation when you pee, my dude. Don't fuck with his troupe ever again.
Sakyo's a lot better with his dark magic than he is his healing magic........... ]
[ Poor dude. Taichi waits impatiently for Sakyo to let him go, holding in any thanks and show of affection as best as he can until Sakyo actually unlocks the stocks... It's taking every oune of his being to make sure he manages, so he's staying pretty quiet in his determination for this second. ]
[ You'd think there would be a great obnoxious sign of appreciation after what he just did... huh. Sakyo thinks nothing of it of course as he decides to pocket the keys instead of leaving them there. ]
I'm not sure if this counts as an obstruction of justice but we shouldn't stick around to find out. Lets go, Nanao.
[ He almost asks if he's injured at all, if they roughed him up to any degree, but that shows concern and he's not here for that. Taichi looks fine, he's out of the stocks, that's all that matters. ]
[ He nods and runs and just about as soon as they're out of risk of getting captured, leaving behind the "Hey!" as other guards start showing up to investigate in the background, Taichi latches onto Sakyo in a (fruity- sorry) hug. ]
I was just walking through some door and then it came out here and I was like cool, this place looks different, it's time for a street act, then the next thing I knew...!

His eyes widen slightly. ]

I don't know! I was just street acting and then this guy in a jester's hat accused me of trying to steal his identity!
[ Taichi definitely missed some of the details here, but exactly how that ended in this they may never understand because Taichi sure doesn't. ]

Any clue where the key to this thing is?

[ He's not, he's just a guard who cares about keeping out of the sun. ]

Sakyo-nii, you saved me!

Cut that it, they could still be following us and they'll catch up if keep messing around! You wanna end up in those stocks again?

[ He unlatches, then reaches out to brush some tomato off of Sakyo's sleeve. ]
Where do we go?
*out, not it. this is what i get for tagging at 3am
Good question. Just keep walking, we'll figure it out. This doesn't look anything like the main street. Were you brought over here from somewhere?
DW STOP EATING NOTIFS
[ HE ENDED UP IN THE STOCKS... ]
