[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[The face that comes up on the screen will look a lot less combative and more withdrawn than usual.]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.))

Did you have any evidence that she did?
video
She had something that belonged to her and wouldn't tell me where she got it.
Then she kicked me in the balls.
video
[Because if it was before, he can kinda understand the impulse, being a guy and all.]
video
If she'd come along quietly, nothing would've happened.

video
She could've been a lead to Emily. That's all that mattered. I'm not leaving some kid out to dry.

Like you wouldn't believe.
[The look of surprise that comes over Blake's face is just a little comical.] Wait. You're really on my side here?
video
[He smiles. Yes, it's a genuine smile for a change and not one of his cocky smirks.]
Sounds to me like you're up against a wall. That everybody else seems to think you're the bad guy, and if you ask me, that's just dumb.
video
[He'll actually get a little honesty in return. Blake toys with the cuff of his shirt and tilts his head a little to the side.]
It...might not be outta nowhere. Maybe I went off half-cocked.
video
[But close enough. Heh.]
But if it wasn't out of nowhere, what's the full story? Sounds like it was a bit more complicated than you made it out to be.
video
[It takes a minute to drag the admission out of himself.]
Could've been a different ribbon.
Emily could've...
[His teeth click together and he looks away.]
video
[Riku's expression remains calm, unphased.]
So you may've jumped to conclusions. Still, we don't always think straight.
video
It would've been better if it was somebody here she was kidnapped by. At least that way I could do something.
