tarotcards | DREAM 023 [VIDEO] - BACKDATED TO AUG 26

[ Hello, Johto and Kanto. This bright morning, we give you a not so bright entry. Wherever this video feed is taking place, it's rather dimly lit and the whole room is dull to the eyes. The dark grey brick wall and lack of any kind of furniture on screen doesn't help at all. Wherever this is, it's certainly not your average building or house. ]

[ Well, at least it's not completely boring and the camera recording nothing. After all, we got Souji taking up most of the camera space and looking in somewhat worse shape than usual. It's really not too bad; just a small bruise on his cheek and somewhat messier hair. It can easily be explained with someone opening the door right on his face or something similar. ]

[ Anyway, he gives a small single wave to the camera and finally begins; ]

Souji here.

Sorry, but the Breeding Centre at Goldenrod City may be a bit slow in restocking and the new addition of eggs for the start of September. Orders and any calls may also be delayed until about next week. The same applies to the Foster Home.

So if anyone can help me cover at the centre, that'll be great since something 'personal' came u--

Why don't you just tell 'em we got a room in jail last night?

[Behind Souji, leaning against the wall there's Crow, who doesn't appear very... happy, but not really fazed, either. More like bored. And who can blame him? He's been standing like this with his arms folded for quite a while.]

[ Souji, on the other hand, drops his apologetic look and replaces it with a more irritated one, turning to Crow. He's been trying to cover up the whole fact that they are in jail, but no point in denying it now... Some people probably have already guessed that they were in a cell by the whole look of it, either by being in one themselves or noticing that it looks like a cliché cell. ]

We're only in jail because of you.

[That simple sentence is enough to cause Crow to get defensive: he lets out an annoyed huff, stepping away from the wall with an implacable expression.]

I didn't start it!!

[ Crow is clearly mentally four, but yeah yeah, whatever. Back to the camera and ignoring that last sentence. ]

Anyway, yeah, we've got caught up in something and going to be in jail for about a week. If anyone can cover for us or bail us out, that'll be great.

[ Because jail is not a fun place to be at, kids. ]

(( ooc; takes place after this log and also, bail will actually not be possible for these two, so if any character who comes to the station and tries to bail them out, they'll get a warning similar to "we don't accept that kind of thing here >C" from the Officer Jennies. Bails are considered to be "bribes" here, so no luck there. Thanks to Ara and Sunny for clearing this up!

Orange text is Crow and the grey one is Souji. They'll be replying individually to each thread, so tag away!! ))

_{[.... She was WONDERING why the hell Crow hadn't come back to the hotel last night...]}

... Dude, what did you guys DO?

_{[THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH BEING GROUNDED, SHE MISSES EVERYTHING.]}

Let's just say that the local bar will be closed for a day or two...

[ It was a pretty big fight, man. ]

... You guys started a BARFIGHT?

_{[WITHOUT HER? :'(]}

I guess you could say that, but it's not like we've wanted to.

[ IT'S OKAY, HEATHER, LET'S GO SET OFF FIREWORKS INSIDE A HOUSE LATER ]

What was it over, anyway?

_{[OKAY THAT WORKS]}

Over a compliant and insult over my business. Crow really didn't let it go.

[ And the next thing he knew, A CHAIR WAS THROWN ACROSS THE ROOM. Goddamit, Bikers. ]

... God, Crow...

Tell me about it. Jail is the last thing we need.

Well, y'know, this and that...

[He lets out a sheepish laugh. Clearly that explains everything, right?]

_{[Dude, Crow. Dude.]}

... Dad is gonna be SO pissed.

You know that, right?

_{[This is, like, the MONTH OF KIDS WHO LIVE WITH HARRY MISBEHAVING.]}

[ISN'T THAT THE USUAL.]

... Maybe he, er... won't notice?

[Won't notice a week-long absence of one person. Brilliant plan.]

_{[YEAH BUT IT'S BEEN WORSE THAN USUAL.]}

Okay, first of all, Dad's spent the last eighteen _{[Twenty-four, actually. Past lives and all.]} years dealing with me.

Second of all, he's spent the past MONTH dealing with me being even worse than NORMAL, and reacted by systematically hunting down and throwing away every last pack of Henry's cigarettes. Just because Henry's THERE.

You think he's NOT gonna notice one of the kids he travels with just got thrown in jail?

[THAT'S TRUE but with kids like these, "worse than usual" is to be expected.

He doesn't answer at first, thinking over the situation (and exactly how bad it is): it's Harry we're talking about. It's already been a tough... month or so for him, courtesy of Heather (and Claudia, for that matter), and Crow wouldn't be surprised if he was tired of, well, everything.

... Yep. He's fucked.]

... At least he can't ground me.

[AS OPPOSED TO A CERTAIN SOMEONE.]

_{[OH WAY TO RUB IT IN...]}

Nnnno, but he sure can lay a guilt trip the size of a cruise liner on you.

_{[... Plus, being in jail kinda... counted as being grounded, anyway.]}

[He's desperately trying not to think of it that way, okay.]

... That bad, huh?

[Maybe he'll just. Try his best to avoid Harry for the next week after he leaves jail or something.]

That bad.

_{[NOPE. That doesn't fly with Masons, man. >:I You're in for it.]}

Guess I kinda deserve it this time, so I'll just take on whatever comes with it.

[Jail and Harry Mason included. BRING IT.]

You'd better.

... At least I won't be the only one in the doghouse anymore.

... Glad I could help.

[ALL THE SARCASM and then some.]

You're a real pal.
