This was getting more and more strange as the evening progressed. Connors had to remind himself that this was the best, it was for his own safety, it was for everyone's safety if he got to Chilton before the episode progressed. Despite the fact that Connors felt cold shivers when he looked at the shackles and the electric prod, he kept trying to convince himself that it was safe. Chilton wouldn't suggest this if it wasn't safe--Connors had too much trust in the man for that.

"I think that with the shackles and the prod, we wouldn't need a different layer." He hoped that with the shackles and the prod they wouldn't need a different layer. Connors didn't know if he could willingly step into here again if other people's lives didn't depend on it. He was too embarrassed to take off his pants to prevent them from getting ruined. However, he emptied his pockets and took off his socks, setting all of them right outside of the cage.

"Hopefully you can sedate me long enough to put on the shackles. For...ah, multiple reasons, I won't be able to wear them until I'm transformed." He gave Chilton a weak smile, one that hopefully radiated confidence. Instead, he looked kind of terrified. "I'm ready when you are."
