a » evading capture
[Early on, Cid is going to be fairly confused until he figures out about this whole bounty business. Which means that at first he will be making a hasty escape when some individuals try to corner him.]
Lads, I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm sure we can come to an amicable resolution?
[Of course, that's a no and there will be the clash of steel and explosion of lightning that strikes through the alleyway before Cid rushes out.]
Bloody hell is going on!?
[Anyway, either get out of the way, help Cid, or help the bounty hunters capture him! Those who actually want to try and capture Cid for the bounty as is will want this prompt!]

b » caught?
[Once Cid has figured out this whole bounty business, he'll make arrangements either ahead of time or with anyone he's encountered willing to take advantage and cash in on the bounty themselves and split the reward. When you're a Dominant and have five others plus a whole crew ready to save their captain, it's a fairly safe bet. It helps that he's wanted alive, too.
1) Make it convincing. While some may just want to go in unhurt and play the "He surrendered peacefully" card, Cid will make proposals or accept the idea that he should be slightly injured or scuffed up to make it a bit more convincing. After all, if his escape is going to happen a lot, it might be more suspicious if he's always coming in unharmed. So if anyone's wanted a spar give Cid a nice, little punch, here's your chance!
2) Grand escape. Once turned in and the reward has been obtained, Cid will be just lounging in the cell or whatever he's being held in. While initially he would be in official bounty jail cells, over time after repeated escapes and break outs, these won't cut it so he may be moved to different locations to be held. Could be on a ship to go to the ones who want him, could be some random building or shack. Could even be out in the middle of the forest as the handlers wait for him to be transferred over again.
Whatever and wherever it is, it's now time to put the plan into action. Or perhaps someone just happened to find him before a plan is hatched. Here are two general ways it can go:
a) Sneaky sneaky. Classic stealth breakout mission. Don't alert the guards somehow! Or knock them out or something. Could also do the ol' classic "dig a tunnel out."
b) Chaos. Loud distractions, engage in fighting, blow the place up. The more dramatic of the options, but no less fun.
And of course always open to other ideas and plans! They can get as creative as they want. (They an also try to take some extra cash or goods if there is anything around—)
Note: We don't necessarily have to thread out both part 1) and 2). It can always be arranged that if we only do part 1) some NPCs or someone else will be involved to break Cid out. Likewise can handwave part 1) happening somehow and focus on the break out.]

c » recovery
[Note: (late april/early may)
Unfortunately, the constant breakouts and loss of money will have made the ones after Cid very frustrated. At some point the bounty changes to "Dead or Alive," something Cid won't realize until too late. After one bad ambush with Benedikta, Cid will have suffered severe injuries to his chest and left arm that will leave him bedridden. And because of the change in the bounty, everyone will force Cid to stay on the crew's island, the Roost where he will be under strict watch because he will rest and recover, dammit!!
Which means, he's going to be...bored. Fiddling on his shellphone, drawing and writing things on a lapdesk he manages to acquire, reading. But he's soooo boooreeeed.
So anyone who wishes to visit him will either be part of the crew or will need to hitch a ride with a Hideaway crew member to visit. Alternatively, communicating via shellphone.]
...I need to come up with some better entertainment.
[A low mutter as he crumples up a piece of paper with a rejected schematic design he tried to make and just throws it to the small wastebasket, frowning when it bounces off the rim and lands among the few others that didn't make it. It's been about 50/50.
Guests will also likely be met with a little baby owl or—]
...Don't look at me like that, was just stretching my legs.
[Cid breaking doctor's orders and trying to escape the bed to walk around a bit. Which is still a very bad idea so get him back in there!]

d » wildcard
[Cid's bounty log!! But I am open to doing other quests that could be set before things go crazy. I have my plotting comment here or you can hit me up on through PM, Discord, or ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

That, or the sewer fumes are messing with her head. Either way, she doesn't want to linger here longer than necessary, and so she places a hand on the rung of the ladder beneath him, looking up. ]
O-oh, you know, don't mind me. [ She comments innocently. ] Still standing in these dark, dank shadows.
no subject
What, you didn't enjoy our lovely jaunt through our piratous dragon's underbelly?
[A chuckle as he works the grate and...creeeek. There's the sound of metal scraping against the harder stone pavement as he manages to lift it up and slowly peer out. The coast clear and proving to be a vacant alley, Cid will use more force to pop the grate completely up and out before climbing out, clearing the way for Rem to follow as he keeps a lookout.]
no subject
I'm going to bill you for a whole new outfit after that.
[ She's smiling, though, simply relieved to be out, but as she takes in a breath to clear her throat, Rem looks at him. ] Um. Just be careful if you go down there again.
no subject
That's fine by me after unwittingly dragging you down in there. But hopefully I won't need to.
For now...
[He glances down towards the road.]
Let's continue our grand escape, eh?

[He'll wave at her.]
Ta-ra then!
[And away he goes to disappear...and get a bath or change of clothes because phew.]
