Alex was having a lousy night, searching for glass shards from inside a trashcan. Sure, he could use break a bottle and use that, but glass bottles are pretty hard to come by, and were too useful to waste. Alex then slipped, and the can fell.

The Climber would rush over to Alex after seeing him slip "Hey, are you okay?"

Alex sprang from the overturned can, collected himself and got up. "Yea, I'm fine, but could you hold this?'' Alex took off his robe and held it out to The Climber

"Sure" Climber said as he took the gently robe that Alex held out to him, of course, Climber held the robe with his right hand and he held his pickaxe with his left

"But could you crumple it, with both hands?'' Alex began taking in the environment, the only way out being past this construct, which could most definitely put a hole in him, and the fact he had been searching for hours, and had nothing to show. Given the fact he hadn't been attacked yet, some setup would be in order.

Climber nods before putting his pickaxe down and crumples the robe with both of his hands before he starts talking "You know this city is quite nice. not like having to fight like in a maximum security asylum after being invited by a shadow wolf or well Big Bad Wolf"

"An asylum? What happened there?" Alex casted prestidigitation to clean the robe, then snatched it and put it back on.

Climber picks up his pickaxe "The asylum was called the Everafter Asylum and well, it was a tournament. I was invited, a bunch of others were invited as well or well some were kidnapped from what I know... anyways. I wanted to get out of the asylum but it's kinda a long story but I fought 6 people and kinda won the tournament... then well..." The Climber stopped talking for a moment and he had a scared look on his face before he shook his head before looking at Alex

"What?" Alex quickly glanced behind him, before looking back at The Climber "I've had my own share of battles, though the second to last time, didn't go too well."

It was only you and Climber "Oh" ... ! "Oh right, i almost forgot. I'm the Climber" The Climber said before he held his right hand/arm up and out, aka he wanted to give a handshake

Alex shook hands with The Climber. "My name is Alex."

When Alex shook hands with Climber, he felt Climber's hand was quite soft almost too soft for a normal human. It was like Alex was shaking a doll's hand "It's nice to meet you Alex" Climber said happily

That feeling of touch was the kicker; This, was definitely a construct, though, it wasn't made of anything like iron or flesh, making this new acquaintance an oddity. Alex decided it was time to pop the question. "What are you?"

"What I am? Oh, i'm a Mannequin" The Climber said happily

"A mannequin?"

The Climber would nod his head "Yep" The Climber said happily

After standing around, thinking on what to say next, Alex noticed the gathering crowd of thugs and nudged his new acquaintance, saying, "I think it would be a good time to amscray."

The Climber would look at Alex in confusion "um... what's amscray"

"I think it means 'flee'." Alex looked back and forth from The Climber to the growing mob worriedly, as if trying to convey something.

The Climber would look at Alex in confusion before turning and sees the growing mob then back to Alex then at the mob again before a knife was thrown at Climber by one of the people in the mob but Climber quickly hits the knife out of the air using his pickaxe "Alright, lets get out of here"

"Ok, follow me!" Alex runs away from the crowd, expecting The Climber to follow.

After awhile, mostly due to Alex running out of breath, the two ended up at the entrance of a restaurant, with paper blocking the windows to the inside and a sign spelling "FOR RENT'' Alex sat down outside the enterance. "We should be safe here,"
