Was it a lair or a citadel? Grif couldn't decide and his thoughts were clouded. The cell was utterly dark. He was definitely suspended in a web of chains, which were strangely comfortable all things considered. Why was he here? When did he arrive? What was that strange hopping noise? Grif decided to focus on the last question first.
Grif opened his eyes and suddenly he could see that the cell wasn't utterly dark, his eyes had just been closed. Beneath him, sniffing at the chains, was a small white rabbit. It was rubbing it's nose between it's paws.
"Who are you?" Grif asked.
"I am- ACHOO!" the Rabbit sneezed.
"That's a strange name for a rabbit," Grif said.
"Very funny. Here's another funny one I just thought of: Why don't I just leave you here?"
"Wait a minute- white rabbit, appears in places that are impenetrable, talks; you're The Kyber, the plot bunny. One of the ancient secret guardians of YWS. You make eco-friendly products by folding paper and when you wiggle your ears, grass grows.
@Snoink wrote a song about you."
"Goodness, an info-dump. Your writing skills must be as rusty as these chains. Let me see if I can help with that."
"Are you going to give me a sudden flash of insight to help me write the story that's been stuck in my head for the last decade?"
"Actually, I was talking about the chains," Kyber said. He took one of the chains and nibbled on it. It promptly shattered into pieces and Grif fell to the floor. Kyber continued to nibble at the chains until Grif emerged free from the chains.
"I don't suppose you have a way out of here," Grif said.
"I made a bicycle out of paper, but it only seats one. You'll have to come back for Nate."
"Wait, he's here too?"
"You didn't know? I thought you knew!"
"How would I know that? My eyes have been closed the entire time! I'm not even sure WHERE I am," Grif said. Off in the distance, there was a sound:
"BLAHAHAHAHA!!!" drifted down into the dungeon.
"I know that laugh, it's Incandescence. So it is a lair after all," Grif said.
"He's coming! There's not much time. Go out the back door, get on the paper bicycle, and go get help. Seek out the one with lemon grenades. I'll distract Incandescence while you make your escape."
"Thank you Kyber."
"Grif- one last thing."
"Yes?"
"You suck, keep writing," Kyber said before disappearing.
