[ Grisha are very cool he Definitely Isn't One, nope. ]
So for the Ice Court job, Kaz and his crew (including me) had to first sneak on a ship to Fjerda. Our plan was to infiltrate the Ice Court during this party they have every year, because that'd basically be the only chance anyone would ever get to make it into the palace. See, the Ice Court is a prison on the outside, but the security's tightest in the palace. We weren't sure where this guy was being held, so we had to be thorough and check the prison first, then sneak into the party, then get out and lock everyone else in so they couldn't follow us out. It was an insane plan but only a guy like Kaz Brekker could pull this shit off. He plans for every Saints-damned thing that could go wrong.
[ Whether or not it worked out that way, well. Kaz didn't actually tell him every part of the plan... ]
Anyway, we started in Fjerda. Sneaking into the country wasn't that hard, but we had to walk to the Ice Court from a different port to avoid raising any suspicion. But then like, to get into the jail itself, we had to swap places with six prisoners and have the guards take us in themselves. With everything going on in the party, they guards weren't really in the mood to bat an eye at the odd Zemeni or Suli prisoner showing up in their roster. We got ourselves locked up in a maximum security prison, with all our stuff taken from us, and nothing but our know how and the old second-hand knowledge of the layout thanks to our drüskelle friend, Matthias.
Oh, and did I mention that the security system for the Ice Court is basically that it seals up if you get so much as an alarm? Yeah. [ It was awesome. ]
So there we were, nice and trapped in the best jail in the world, separated because they split off the guys and the girls. That's when the real plan started. Kaz breaks us out of our cells, and we split up to look for the guy before anyone noticed we were gone-- oh, by the way, his name was Bo Yul-Bayur, he was Shu.
[ Not really an important detail here. ]
That part went off pretty okay, Yul-Bayur wasn't in any of the normal cells but we were kind of expecting that. The real problem came in escaping the prison. The only way out was through the shaft in the smoke stack. The basement smoke stack. So the only way out was straight up, almost seven stories, and we had rope but only The Wraith could climb all the way up there. Shit, that was intense, they'd run the furnace sooner than we expected so the coals were still hot, the walls were hot and-- obviously we made it out but Saints, it was a close thing.
[ He is going to pause for a drink of water, wow is he going into too much detail? Jesper sure loves talking though. ]
