Ermes has now taken cover, and is desperately running through her options.

'''Shit, shit, shit! Everything in my gut's telling me that demon goat is bad news, but I don't know how to get out of here without him noticing! I mean, he's busy talking to someone right now, but who knows how long that could last?' ''Ermes shakes her head.

'I need some way to make sure ''he's distracted long enough for me to get out of here. But how?' ''

Her eyes turn to a rock. Pretty decent size, she could probably throw it a good distance. Maybe...

Her lips curl into a snarl as she facepalms. '''The fuck am I thinking!? That shit only works in the movies!' ''

Then she pauses. She starts thinking a bit more, carefully examining the rock in her hands, before getting a large grin.

A pink sticker of some kind materializes in her palm, and she slaps the sucker on the rock. The rock suddenly becomes two rocks - one with the sticker, and one without it.

Thinking quickly, she throws the one without the sticker first at an angle away from Asriel, and before it even hits the ground, peels off the sticker on the other rock and tosses it at a more straight angle in front of her. Notably, when she peels the sticker off, both rocks began to shake, and when they get close together in mid-air, they promptly zoom towards each other, and with a loud crack, the two rocks are now one rock again, albeit with some damage.

Because of this, the trajectory changes, and the now one rock bounces against the ground several times before clattering to a stop some distance behind Ermes.

The result? It gives the impression that someone in the opposite direction of Ermes threw the rock.

She's not stupid enough to use that trick, but she can make the demon goat...and whoever he's talking to...think there's someone stupid enough to use that trick around.

'''And since the demon goat's probably not a dumbass, he won't look near here, because from his perspective, this can't be where the person who threw the rock is! He'll go in the opposite direction from where the rock was thrown, because he'll think some fucker was trying to distract him while they're trying to get away over there! And I can use the time to escape! I'm a genius!' ''Ermes smirks.

Jolyne blinks as she hears the conversation. "Eh?"
