[ Welcome to the inside of Hunter's heart! Potential CWs include (but are not limited to):

- Child abuse (onscreen and implied)

Generally speaking the onscreen stuff will be kept PG-13 (this is a Disney cartoon after all!) but the implications may be exponentially more horrific (this is a Disney cartoon after all!!)

[BREAKIN' IT. With Bad News, slamming the butt of the rifle against it.]

[pyrighteous]

[ It splits open; Percy can wrench open the cage door now.

Which is good because it groans, sinking into the mud a little more; Hunter makes a choked noise as the mud rises up to cover some of his face. ]

[inclementia]

Nope, no. Getting you out of there, grab on!

[And he'll hold his arm out, hand in as far as he can]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter holds on tightly, then, doing what he can to help lever himself out. That mud CLINGS to him. ]

[inclementia]

[Percy tugs, trying to help along.]

What even is this? Come on-

[pyrighteous]

[ He emerges at last with a gasp and a sucking pop. Here, at least, he can sort of climb up the cage with Percy's help. ]

[inclementia]

There you go, up you go. [Helping him up. And then looking around.]

See if you can spot a portrait frame somewhere!

[pyrighteous]

What? Why would there be -

[ Oh. There it is. He's gonna need a BOOST to get up there. ]

[inclementia]

[Right. Of course.

He'll move to be under it and kneel down with his back to Hunter, hands positioned behind. Come on, step up buddy]

[pyrighteous]

[ He's wobbly and very muddy, but he obediently steps into Percy's hands. And ... above them, the Guard leans through the portrait, extending his hands down.

Between the two of them, caged Hunter is able to pull himself up and through. Meanwhile, the guard holds his hands out again for Percy. ]

Hurry up! Before he comes back!

[inclementia]

Got it-

[Once he's sure Hunter's out safe and sound, he looks up to the hands before taking them both, using it to start scrambling his way up. Feet kicking at the wall as he tries but - event willing - he climbs out with a heavy breath. He's heaving and his back is aching in the worst way-]

You're all right?

[pyrighteous]

[ It's a near thing - Belos is, well, bellowing behind him - but Percy is able to scramble up and out of the portrait, back to the hallway.

Both Hunters nod at that. ]

We're out. We're safe.

[inclementia]

[Ah.

Two of him. There are two. Hm.]

Good.

[pyrighteous]

[ SURE ARE. One is muddied up - clearly the one Percy dragged out - and the other is the guard who's been roaming the forest.

The guard gives muddy a cloak and looks Percy over. ]

You're hurt.

[inclementia]

I'll be fine. I know some healers outside, we just have to find a way out.

[pyrighteous]

[ The guard nods slowly. ]

I don't know how to get you out, but you can keep looking.

[inclementia]

[He nods in turn, starting to walk past them both.]

I will then.

....Stay safe. [Don't make what he did be a waste.]
