The Ludicrous Escapade Pt.3

Refreshing Swamp Breeze

Anasui held up a hand, signaling for the creature to stop the boat. He ordered it earlier to be the one driving around so he could instead chill next to you, much to your dismay.

"Why are you making it stop the boat in the grass?" Jolyne was getting antsy enough as is without wasting time that could be spent moving forward.

"Anasui, if we stop moving away from the sun, the plants will continue sprouting out of Jolyne and I." You couldn't help but think that'd be a bad thing.

"I know that. But can you hear it?" Anasui turned to the Stand which was apparently named Yo-Yo Ma. "Hey, cut the engine. Don't make a sound." But the Stand didn't move. Instead it started drooling while staring in the general direction of the three of you, breathing in a bunch of the mosquitoes that had been buzzing about. "Hey! I'm telling you to hurry up and stop it, you idiot!"

Two boats started to drive past, both with guards on them. "Alert! There has been a disturbance in the punishment ward tower! I repeat! We've confirmed irregular activity down in the punishment ward! We're still investigating the specifics, but raise the security level of all sections of the prison to level four! Prepare for strategic emergency action!"

"Ughaaa!" Somehow the Stand impaled the lever through its own head. The engine was still on and the boat continued making ripples in the water.

"What the hell are you doing?" Getting impatient, and worrying about getting caught, Anasui yanked the lever down along with the Stand's face. "Get away! You're letting them know where we are!"

Jolyne watched the guards carefully from the boat, doing her best to remain hidden amongst the tall grasses, "There's two of them. Are they chasing after us?"

"Maybe not us specifically, but we did steal this boat from the punishment ward." You figured the might want to know where it went.

"We have to evade this..." Anasui kept an arm around your shoulder, making sure you were safely huddled next to him. "They have machine guns with power to blow our limbs off. They could blow this boat to smithereens."

Jolyne watched as the boats made a sudden turn, "They've changed directions! They're headed our way!"

"At the very least, they haven't seen us. Or else they would've fired already." So you weren't worried just yet.

Yoshikage appeared behind you, assessing the situation as well as he could. "Should I turn something into a bomb and throw it at them?" He plucked off Anasui's arm and proceeded to lean on your shoulder instead. "If we wait for them to get close enough for me to touch, then we could risk the occupants of our boat being damaged, as well."

"Let's just turn the engine back on and try to get away!" Jolyne felt like making tactical retreat.

The green Stand didn't agree with any of the options and actually had an idea of it's own, "Umm... we can take this leaf..." He plucked one from a nearby tree. "Master..."

"Hey, I'm telling you not to talk, got it?!" Anasui didn't appreciate the interruption as he tried to figure out a solution of his own.

"No... I'm just..." The Stand tried to make it clear that it was only trying to help. "First, you fold these leaves vertically. Then you weave them. And then you prop them up." He balanced it on the railing. "You prop more of them up and add even more leaves into the seams."

The Stand then reached over the side of the boat and plucked a bunch of roots. "These contain a lot of protein. If you squeeze it out..." He then took the sap and globbed it onto Jolyne's forehead. "Now the leaves will stick. Twigs, too. We'll smear some mud on like makeup."
