After some time of thinking and planning, Roxie had come up with a (not totally foolproof) plan to save herself and get out of there. Thankfully, the Octorian guard hadn't noticed the Aerospray MG in her back pocket and she managed to squeeze her hand back there and grab it. She then spoke up to the Octorian, "Excuse me, can I get some water? My throat's parched and I'd like to warm up my voice." "Psh, you think I'm gonna fall for that?" "Please?? I'm so thirsty! Besides, do you seriously think I'll try something? I'm already tied up tight and you're armed to the teeth." "...point taken. I'll be right back." The guard rolled his eyes and left his station outside the cell. After about 2 minutes, he came back with a glass of water and unlocked the cell door, approaching her cautiously, his hand holding his ink pistol, "Don't you try anything.." "Wouldn't dream of it." Roxie then quickly leapt up to her feet and turned to her side, splattering the Octorian hard with purple ink, rendering him unconscious on the ground. "Wow, even my bodyguards aren't this gullible.." she remarked as she cut her ropes loose with a nearby piece of broken glass. She then grabbed her Aerospray from her pocket and silently left the cell, wondering if anyone had come to rescue her or other Inklings.
