Vic quickly sighed
“Why on earth did you actually decide to accept Nix’s offer? Don't you LIVE in an escape room?” she huffed.
“No? I live in.. a.. I don’t actually know how to explain it.” Laxmie tried to mutter out, Vic shooting her a glance.
“Well, it surely felt like an escape room, hell why did Nix invite us if she wasn’t going to come?” Vic practically growled.
“Just shut up, will ya?” Laxmie groaned, causing Vic to grin, a stupid grin in Laxmie’s opinion.
Vic just chuckled before starting to work on the puzzle in front of them. She was focused because she wanted to get out of the room asap, but she wouldn't admit seeing Laxmie so annoyed was entertaining her.
Laxmie looked at the puzzle with no intention of helping Vic, this was her payback at Vics attitude. She could admit whoever made the puzzle was pretty smart, but she knew Vic would get it soon, she was determined and well she probably knows most of the answers.
“Can you atleast TRY to help me here?” Vic said, turning around, looking directly at Laxmie.
“What, it seems you already got it in the bag?” Laxmie responded.
“You know I won't stop bugging you until you do something useful.” Vic shot out,
“Ugh, you're so unbearable.” Laxmie grumbled as Vic gave a smirk- that damn smirk! She didn't know what it was but it made her feel.. Complicated?- Laxmie rolled her eyes at Vic, hearing a faint chuckle from Vic.
Laxmie then went over to do something with the puzzle, eventually they found it out. Something clicked and now they had to search for whatever opened, splitting up and going into various rooms in the escape room. Vic in the kitchen and Laxmie in the bathroom. Soon enough Vic opened the fridge and surely it was..another room. With another puzzle.
Vic walked into the new room. It was lit up faintly, mostly dark, Vic’s eyes quickly fixing to the darkness and scanning the room.
“I FOUND WHATEVER OPENED!” Vic shouted to Laxmie in the bathroom, quickly Laxmie was in the room too.
“Why’s it so dark in here?” Laxmie asked, looking at Vic, her good eye fixating on her.
“You think I know?” Vic said before walking to Laxmie to help her up, pulling Laxmie up she was pretty sure she pulled out some of her hair from her scalp, her smile widened slightly.
“Watch it.” Laxmie said coldly, faintly blushing at the pain. She then snapped out of it quickly ‘what was that.’ Laxmie thought to herself as she stood up fully.
After Laxmie stood up fully Vic scanned the room again, maybe to see if anything changed, or not. Who knows? Laxmie then sighed as she tried to find the next puzzle to get one out of the three keys to unlock the door.
Vic let Laxmie find the puzzle scanning her every movement, slightly interested in what he was trying to do. Her tail slowly wagging a bit, ‘that's weird..’ she probably would've thought but she was too focused on Laxmie. She smiled a bit as Laxmie found the puzzle.
“It's a number coded one..” Laxmie almost whispered, but she knew Vic heard her because she perked up a bit as she walked over to Laxmie, observing the puzzle.
Vic then started to do every combination her mind could search for, her fingers moving fastly. Laxmie could admit it was impressive, feeling a bit of amazement as she watched Vic do the puzzle so fastly.
“There.. Could you hold onto the key?” Vic said handing the key to Laxmie, not looking at her. Laxmie wanted to say something but stayed silent, taking the keys and shoving them in her pocket, Huffing slightly.
“Something wrong, princess?” Vic said, now glancing at her, Laxmie felt her cheeks go hot a bit as Vic called her that she should be used to it, EVERYONE called her “princess” that's why she has a tiara. Why was Vic calling her that so different? She hated Vic, right?
Vic shrugged as she then walked around the room to find a different puzzle. She was slightly concerned about Laxmie’s behavior, but she wouldn't admit that! Vic then found a different puzzle, it was a math problem.. Great,Vic technically can find out but… she was too lazy to do that.
“Think you can do this one..?” Vic glanced at Laxmie, seeing her sigh as Vic spoke to her, she slowly walked to where Vic was.
“Seriously? This is an easy one too! Is this seriously your downfall” Laxmie sighed, Vic just rolled her eyes at Laxmie’s words looking at her disappointedly.
Laxmie sighed, doing the math problem quickly and getting the second key.
“2 down, 1 more to go!” Vic said happily, looking at Laxmie with excitement instead of annoyance or cockyness. It was actually a nice sight to see for Laxmie.
Vic then walked out of the room back to the main room, skipping. Laxmie followed behind her, smirking slightly, she couldn't help it, is this what Nix sees most of the time?
For what felt like 30 minutes they both searched for the last puzzle, some side talk happening a few times and bickering like usual. Laxmie found the last puzzle Vic came over to see what it was, it was a bit confusing to them both but they both figured it out getting the last key. Vic unlocked 2 locks and Laxmie unlocked one.
They were finally done huh? They both walked out of the escape room, leaving those problems behind, they walked side by side.
“So.. I was wondering, what’s your full name? I keep thinking it's ‘Vicky’ but it's not like a you name.. Ya know?” Laxmie said, breaking the silence between them, causing Vic to chuckle.
“HA! Vicky? Seriously? No! It's Vicane. I find it stupid, that's why I go by Vic.” Vic chuckled, Laxmie was surprised Vic actually told her. She was somewhat content that Vic said that.
