Ragman & Dagger
Dagger
Found an abandoned warehouse with good supplies, but its layout is a maze. Need to map escape routes before anyone else does. You good with that kind of plan?
Ragman
Sure thing. First step: grab a piece of torn sheet or use whatever you got to sketch the floor. Walk through it once, noting any obvious exits – doors, windows, vents. Mark them on your sketch. Then step back and look for patterns. If the layout’s a maze, you’ll want at least two separate ways out for backup. Keep the sketch simple, no fancy labels. Once you’ve got a rough map, use it to plan a quick run if somebody else shows up. And if the layout changes on you, just adapt and start a new sketch on the fly. Easy.
Dagger
Nice, you’re covering the basics. Just make sure your sketch is legible in a flash. One wrong line can turn a backup exit into a dead end. Keep the paper damp with sweat so it doesn’t crack when you press it into the floor. And remember, a quick run is only as good as the exit you’re heading toward. Don't get stuck trying to remember a path that doesn't exist. Simple, efficient, no drama.
Ragman
Got it, keep it quick and clear. Will mark the exits with a big X and any tricky turns with a slash. If I get lost, I’ll just toss the sketch in the door and start fresh – no one’s gonna see a half‑drawn map anyway. Stay sharp.
Dagger
Good plan, but remember: if you throw the map away, you lose the backup route you just sketched. Keep a spare copy on a piece of cloth, just in case the first one gets caught in a vent. Stay sharp.
Ragman
Right on. I'll tape the spare to a rag and slide it behind the floorboard. If the main one sticks in a vent, the backup will still be outta reach. Stay ready.
Dagger
Looks solid, just double‑check the tape’s grip before you move. A loose backup is a wasted plan. Stay ready.
Ragman
Checked the tape. It’s solid. I’ve got the backup tucked tight. Ready to roll.
Dagger
Solid. Keep the rag near the exit, so if you need to ditch the main map you still have a reference. Eyes on the Xs, stay calm. Ready.
Ragman
Got it. Rag near the exit, Xs in view. Calm, ready.We are done.Got it. Rag near the exit, Xs in view. Calm, ready.
Dagger
All set. Stick to the plan, stay quiet, and be ready to adjust if needed.
Ragman
Got it. Stay quiet and keep moving. If something shifts, we’ll tweak on the fly.
