[8] Video/Action for Goldenrod, backdated to around the 9th
[Jail is fucking boring.]
[They'd stuck Blake in a cell for a while until they figured out something about community service. It was a lot faster than back in the real world, but even crazy bullshit island has red tape. Blake's not sure whether that's nostalgic or not.]
[Cells are the same everywhere, too. He's never been on this side before. The novelty wears off fast.]
[He wishes he had a ball to bounce against the wall or something. They didn't even leave him any of his animals for company. Maybe that's a good thing. He doesn't know how he's going to explain this to Steve.]
[There's nothing but a book, and there's only so much anybody can take of The Dratini Code.]
[Blake leans back on the hard bunk and tosses his phone in one hand. When he got in here the one thing he was sure of was that he didn't want to talk to anybody, but nothing weakens that conviction like a couple hours alone with the hot, uneasy feeling in the back of his head.]
[He flips the phone open before he can think about it too much and says the first thing that comes to mind.]
[The face that comes up on the screen will look a lot less combative and more withdrawn than usual.]
Hey.
You think they have the Shawshank Redemption around here?
Maybe with one of those stupid puns in the title, and he digs his way out with one of those mole things. A little tiny one for finding rocks.
Seems like everything around here is like back home but turned the local kind of stupid. Do they even make any real original movies?
[In the crappy florescent lights shared by jails everywhere, the lines on his face look deep and weathered.]
I'm tired of nothing but the same old thing.
((OOC: Open for calls and visitors! Blake's in jail for punching Parker, but you don't have to broach the topic if you don't want to. He's not real proud of himself, so he'll pussyfoot around it unless asked directly. If you definitely don't want it to come up, just put in an OOC note.))

The point is, I gave her plenty of chances to explain herself. Instead, she tried to fight me.
[action]
She might've thought that's what you were aiming for.
[action]
What, a fight? That was collateral damage.
All I want is to find the kid.
[action]
[action]
[action]
No... I mean. It's a system. If the number is gone instead of not taking calls... then a person went home.
[action]
What if they don't have any home to go to, huh? What if they were finally fucking safe and now they're gone?!
[action]
Then you can hope they come back, and that they remember.
[action] oh shit how did I lose this in my inbox
[His body sags, his grip on the bars the only thing keeping him up.]
[He's not real good at hoping.]
I can't just sit here and wait. The place she'd have to go back to...it's not place for a kid to be alone.
You're saying that even if she came back, she could forget everything?
[Action] Dramatic impact.
It's happened to me a couple times now, actually, but it's happened the other way too.
[Action]
[He gives it a second more of thought as he taps his thumbnail against the bar.] She'd still be her, though. It's a hell of a lot better than being gone.
You mean you came back and forgot everything, or somebody you know did?
[Action]
[He shrugged and gave a lopsided smile.]
I'm a good indicator for that.
[Action]
Hey.
[Blake gestures through the bars.]
C'mere, kid.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
What was that for?
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Have an expectant face.]
They would have heard of me.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Let me tell you one thing I've learned, kid: as long as you're still moving, you're alive. Don't try to think any farther than that.
[Action]
Obviously. That doesn't mean I didn't die first.
