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[The face that comes up on the screen will look a lot less combative and more withdrawn than usual.]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

Re: [Video]
Cooling my heels and waiting for answers isn't going to solve any mysteries. After those massive slabs of rock did a number on things in December. I really want to have facts in case they come around again.

[Carter gets a pained look.]
Tell me you mean a nice, normal landslide.

All 'screw this i'm outie', and ollied in a flash of white light.

[That's even worse than normal natural disasters.]

Or have a mutually assisted moment of slapping each other upside the head so hard you see stars for being completely stupid. 'This is going to come back and bite you in the ASS, son how did you miss this??'
And like idiots, people are investigating the circles and shit they left behind. Like that won't end badly. [And we're back to flippant.]
[Video]
Kid, you are taking that figure of speech about your past self way too far.
The rock monsters left crop circles?

That's supposed to be what aliens do. Crazy Bullshit Island could bother to get it right.
