Due to his suitemates' complete lack of sympathy, Angelo finds Marius still tied up in the hallway. Once again, Angelo offers sound advice.
He was making progress with the duct tape. It was really only a matter of time and friction, after all. The rope was a bit trickier, but at least the girls had been kind enough to provide satin evening gloves. They did wonders to prevent chafing.
Marius probably should have been more upset that Kyle had chewed through his restraints and left him behind after freeing the others, but really, it wasn't as if Marius hadn't been tied up and left to his fate before, and he rather suspected it would happen again. Granted, it wasn't normally while in women's lingerie, but the principle was the same.
It was at this moment that Angelo happened by, on his way downstairs with Joyita. He stopped, grinning, and the unleashed dog ran over to sniff at Marius. "Where'd the others go?"
"Pissed right off," Marius said cheerfully, mindless of the animal now engaged in intimate olfactory exploration of his person. He nodded at his bonds. "Little help?"
"...sure, if the others got away the girls probably won't punish me for it. An' you've been here a couple of hours now, right?" He moved forward to start untying the ropes.
"Cheers, Ange," Marius said, leaning forward so the boy could get to his hands. "This lot doesn't go halfway, does it? Masterful bit of coordination there, I thought. And of course they took up a collection for the hillarious underwear. Think these are Clarice's, for example."
"Yeah, you don't want to piss this lot off", Angelo said with a grin, working on the knots. "'Cause they will get you."
"True enough," he agreed as Angelo managed to free his hands. Marius stretched his arms over his head, then moved on to rolling his shoulders as Angelo started on his feet. "Bit surprised at the lack of actual bloodshed, but I suppose that was Cats' job last night. Hope no one's missin' these gloves," he added, contemplating the mauve satin, "they're a bit gone at the palms now. Chompybits an' that."
"Eh, whoever put them on you knows about the extra teeth. If they expected to get 'em back undamaged... well, none of the girls are that stupid. They might make you buy a new pair, though."
Marius grinned. "Ah, might as well. Not as if I don't buy 'em by the gross anyway. May get some questions as to what ladies' ballroom is doin' in the list, but one does not do these things if one cares what other people think. Which one obviously doesn't, as one is sittin' in the middle of a hallway in a classmate's delicates."
Joyita had apparently decided Marius was a friend, and was doing what dogs do when they meet someone they like. Trying to lick his face, and getting in the way of Angelo working on the last knot somewhat.
Marius made a face as Joyita managed to get her tongue into the inside of his mouth. "Right, not quite the kind of tongue I like," he said, leaning as far to the side as he was able while putting one elbow against the base of the lab's throat. "Dog this friendly with everyone, or she a Rocky Horror fan?"
"She's pretty much always this friendly", Angelo said, laughing and hauling Joyita back somewhat. "Sit, girl."
Marius wiped the drool off his face as he stood. "Rahne ever talks to me again, I'll have to remember to teach your girl there some manners when I'm back on four legs. Not that I don't appreciate the urge to lick persons in sexy lingerie, but there's a time an' a place. Ta for the assist, though. Again."
"Not a problem. See you when you're in your clothes again." He grinned.
Marius smirked. "Was that a hint? Guess the red is a bit offensive to the eyes. Clearly someone was making a point." He turned to go. "Incidentally, I'd avoid the student lounge for a bit. I think one of the girls took video, an' Kyle was not working the hot-pink thong."
