91: Arcade in the heart of the city: Tangled

M:

Mandara squeaked in surprise and nearly kicked Cherry reflexively, but laughed a little when he realized what happened. He shook off her grip and climbed higher into the maze of ropes, hanging upside down from his legs and looking down at Cherry, "try to catch me now."

While he was distracted, MA muttered a "yes" at Kiara's offer, he felt embarrassed that he needed help because of a little kid's play structure, he was just thankful it was only their little group in the room.

"Geeze Mandy, when did you get so flexible," Poland commented from next to Luz, "you're nearly 350 years old, how are your muscles not jelly from doing that?"

"Don't you worry about that, by tomorrow I won't be able to get out of bed," Mandara joked, "besides, Thunder and I always stay in our best shape to keep up with everyone."

C:

Cherry propped herself with the elbows and sprung up, a determined smirk plastered on her face.

-"Challenge accepted." The teen exclaimed and nimbly began her ascension, swinging from rope to rope with brisk, rapid movements.

Kiara knew the humanling was buying her time, so she began the unwrapping as soon as MA's word left his lips.

-"Well it's good for us that we're ancient and well-preserved." She muttered under her breath.

-"Kiara, be careful not to choke him by accident." Cherry's voice sounded from above.

The angelic entity scoffed, pulling at some of the ropes and undoing the loops.

-"Don't worry, I don't fancy strangling people, that's Luz's type. I'm more of a slice 'n' dice person." She muttered with a straight face as she managed to free one of MA's arms.

-"Derogan, try to relax your muscles, we'll soon getcha out of this pickle." Kiara said, then turned to Eclipse and pointed at the red rope she clutched onto. "Okay, can you find the end of this one?"

Up in the higher part of the playground structure Cherry was gaining ground at a fast pace.

-"Haha, I told you I'd catch you!" The teen giggled as she imprisoned Mandara in a hug, immobilizing him. "Surenderrrr" She whispered.

M:

Mandara was laughing too much to answer, though he did wriggle his arms free and grabbed her instead.

"Never, if I'm going down I'm taking you with me," he then let go of the ropes and they fell onto the trampolines below, though he made sure to take the brunt of the fall so he didn't accidentally hurt Cherry, then simply wrapped his wings around her like a cocoon and blew raspberries on her neck to tickle her without letting her escape.

MA was having less fun, he still wouldn't relax and kept squirming to get free, but of course, it was only making things worse.

"MA, quit moving, you're not helping at all," Eclipse scolded.

"Well then hurry it up," he said, slight panic in his voice, "I feel like I got shot down by wing poachers again and it's starting to freak me out, please hurry up."

"Stop moving and we will," MC said, finally finding a way out of the foam pit and coming to help, "here, will covering your eyes help?"

MA whined a little in his throat, he wasn't sure that in this particular situation that it would help, but he hesitantly nodded yes. MC took off his bandana and tied it around MA's eyes, the winged entity hyperventilated for a moment like he was panicking even more, but eventually settled himself down and remained calm and still.
