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[The face that comes up on the screen will look a lot less combative and more withdrawn than usual.]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

I mean, unless you've literally beat up too many innocent people to even keep TRACK of, in which case there's a HELLA bigger issue going on than just blowing things off...
[Video]
[Getting told off by a teenage girl is bad enough; the gnawing feeling in the back of his head that she has a point is worse.]
You think it's that easy to forget?!
[Video]
[Video]
[gruffly] Apologizing would just make it worse.
[Video]
Then maybe don't apologize.
But at least admit you might've been wrong.
Sometimes that's good enough.
[Video]
[Blake looks down and lets out a long breath that seems to take the last of the nice, insulating anger with it. This isn't easy.]
Maybe I was.
[Video]
[Instead, she just kind of nods.]
[She doubts it would change anything for whatever poor lady he decked, but ... well, baby steps, right?]
[Video]
[He's taken off guard enough to admit]
Shit. I don't know what to do.
[Video]
... Well... you probably don't have to do anything for awhile.
S'not like jail is a prime opportunity for things outside of sitting around on a shitty cot behind bars.
[Video]
[His eyes drop down to his hands.]
It sounds simple, but it's nasty shit.
[Video]
You know it's working when you feel like shit.
[Video]
[From him, that's a compliment.]
[Video]
Y'think so?
I did go through a phase when I was little where I really wanted to be a cop...
