[He is in earnest trying to squeeze out of the manacles, now - drawing his thumb in tight to the palm and pulling down hard. He's cut his own hand off; dislocating a thumb should be a cakewalk, right? Assuming these manacles have enough give, anyway.]
[Curls her fingers over the cuff and pushes just a bit of electricity from her hand into it, just in case it triggers a lock or something--this always works in movies, right?]
Hope you aren't hoping on good grades. I don't think he's the formal education type. You might do better checking elsewhere, just saying.
Sounds like it, don’t it? Y’know, maybe you’re the one who should be taking some tests about proper consent. How ‘bout you unlock us now and you can try this again. Pro tip, use your words.
C'mon, Hurricane, he's trying so hard to get us into the scene. We gotta at least try to 'yes, and' for him. Suffering's happening, something that neeeever happens here. Aren't you sooo scared of this spoopy masked man maybe hurting us???

What kinda test are we talking, here?
no subject
Yeah, maybe I would've studied. Didn't remember my number-two pencil or anything.
no subject
Oh, you needn't worry about that. It's not the sort of test one must study for.
In fact, it's more of a test for that angel.

What's he getting tested on?

I'll leave the manner of test a surprise. I wouldn't want to ruin the fun, after all.

[Sorry not sorry, he is still trying.]
So when's the guest of honor get here?
no subject
Or‘s this when you say ‘they’re already here’ and we realize the true angels were within us all along?

You show up looking like that and expect us to just take your word on it? "Oh, sure, I got an angel."
For all we know you're some weirdo who got a little too into the masque ball and those BDSM Love Hotel rooms.

Fortunately for me, it doesn't terribly matter whether you believe me or not.
But do know -- it is because of him that you were chosen. This was not simply random chance. It is because of him you'll both suffer.
no subject
Probly a good thing your test doesn't need us to believe you, cause if you're trying to point the blame, you're doing about the worst job I ever seen.

Would you like to see him?
no subject
Man, yeah, I'm real scared. Not like they don't pick us apart for funsies every other day.
[Then, to the figure:]
I mean, assuming you've even got him.
Bring him in here, prove you're not just making stuff up.
