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!! ))

I see you're both living large.

[ mildly amused. she's been a fugitive before, no big deal. ]

If this is living large, I'll gladly exchange it for something a bit smaller.

Are you sure? It doesn't hurt to try something new.

I suppose, but I prefer to try something new like baseball over being thrown into jail.

How about baseball in jail? [ oh, she sounds totally serious. ] Two birds with one stone, isn't it?

Baseball in jail would be interesting, actually. Not too sure if giving a criminal a baseball bat is a good idea, though.

[ Running around and clubbing everyone in the head with it. ]

My. Calling yourself a criminal already?

[ lightly. ]

That's what the officers have been calling me the whole time. I'm pretty much named "Criminal" to them.

[ Because of his little stain on his perfect record, GAHHHHHHH ]

. . . Well, technically. . . Though I'm sure it'll pass soon enough.

[ there goes your perfect reputation, bowlcut. teddie would be ashamed. ]

Officers aside, I'm sure you wouldn't do something with that baseball bat.

[Finally someone who's not judging them right from the start! That's a nice change.]

Something like that! Jail wasn't part of the plan, though.

It's not a bad turn of events. Hmm... what's that saying? It builds character?

[ she's joking, of course! kind of. maybe? she sounds a bit serious. ]

[... No. No, it does not. He's been in jail enough times to know that.]

... Whoever told ya that must've been joking.

[ chuckle. ] Don't worry, so was I. Being stuck in a cell isn't fun for anyone.

[ the stuff beforehand is questionably what's good. depends on what it is. speaking of that... ]

According to your friend, you're the responsible one, aren't you? What happened?

Nah, it's not.

[It's boring. There's nothing to do here.]

--Oi, it wasn't my fault! They were asking for it!

Ah, so it's that kind of situation.

[ "they were asking for it" doesn't leave much to the imagination, after all. the pause she takes here must be preparation for a great, important question. full of significance and-- ]

Did you win?

[Oh, that is an important question. After all, the result might decide whether or not getting into this was worth it-- okay, now that he looks back to it, it was kind of dumb. But since there's no turning back, he might as well look for something positive about it.]

... They're probably more bruised, and hopefully learned their lesson, but we're in jail. So I guess it depends how you look at it?

You didn't get out without punishment, but I'd say you're better off.

[ spoken as if it's the easiest fact in the world. she obviously thinks two things: one, that it was worth it somehow, and two... that they won the fight. she's a good influence.

#yolo. ]

Broken pride takes a bit more than a week to heal.

[... No, stop convincing him he did a good thing, that's not what sitting in jail is for.]

Yeah, that's true. [He smiles, shaking his head.] Maybe they'll think twice next time they decide to talk crap 'bout things they've got no idea 'bout, too.

[ yeah, sitting in jail is for BUSTING OUT!! no just kidding follow the law okay, it's good for you. ]

I'm sure their injuries will remember. [ she does smile here. there's a bit of a pause as she mulls something over. ] Victory or not, I'd be a little more careful next time.

[ just an afterthought. picking fights all the time probably isn't too convenient, though she's sure he knows that. ]

[... That is an AWESOME IDEA-- yeah no. If it was just him, Crow would totally go for it, but with Souji here... well... he doesn't need him any more mad than he already is, so he'll pass.]

I will, I will. I'm not really fond of jail, y'know!

[He can only speak for himself here, but he's pretty sure Souji will be very careful from now on, especially when Crow is involved.]

[ she'll be cheering for crow no matter his decision. needless to say, she Likes This One. ]

Mm, what a shame. I thought we had some things in common. [ this time it really is obvious that she's kidding. all lighthearted tone and all. ]

Looks like we can't agree on that one, but--

[He looks around, making sure no one will hear him (well, except for Souji, but that's a given) and adds in conspiratorial whisper:]

... Wanna switch places?

[After all, two can play this game.]

[ ah, good. some glancing around on her part, too, despite the whole not being in jail thing. ]

Do you suppose they'd notice?

Who, Jennies?

[He snorts.]

Nah, not a chance!

Hm...

[ slight tilt of the head. ]

I can't quite take that offer if I don't know who I'm switching with. [ introduce yourself, funny man. she likes you. ]

video.
