Woke Up In Jail

[ WOKE UP IN JAIL ]

Where are you? Why is your bed so hard? Why is someone peeing right by your head?
Oh right. Because you got pinched last night. Welcome to the slammer, baby.

• Post with your character name/fandom/options preferences.
• Use RNG to pick your possible scenario - or just go with what you'd like most.
• Reply to other people's tags. Use RNG or decide what your part in the whole kerfuffle is.
• Enjoy the confusion.

Reason(s) you're in jail:

1. Indecent Exposure
Nobody wanted to watch you strut around with everything hanging out, and someone called you on it. Hope they gave you a jumpsuit or you're going to be prison eye candy.

2. Drunk and disorderly conduct
"Wassat, occifer? No... I'm not dru-*hic* drunk. I'm unner the legal limit. Wooo!" No, no you're not. You're way over. Sleep it off, buddy.

3. Vandalism
Oh, you naughty thing. You got busted stealing that 'Chickens X-ing' sign. Or was it drawing boobs on the drive-thru clown? Either way, tsk tsk.

4. B&E
Apparently your friend didn't think you kicking in his window to sneak in and leave him a 'present' was as good of an idea as you thought it was. Well, no love for HIM. *hmph*

5. Grand Theft Auto
The car was BEGGING to go for a ride. It called to you with its sireny car-call. And you just had to answer. If it hadn't been for the damn spike belt...

6. Kidnapping
Trust me, there are better ways to get money to pay for your Bieber concert tickets.

7. Murder
Talk about being caught red handed. You got caught red armed. And faced. And front. You're messy.

8. Any/all of the above
Ooooh... You've been REALLY naughty, haven't you? Actually, you kind of scare me.

Relationship of the person tagging:

1. Cohort in Crime.

2. Person coming to bail you out. (or not)

3. Jailer/Warden.

Of all the things I thought I'd be in jail for....graffiti was NOT it.

Yeah, about that - why were you even doing that? [Akiyuki is not amused. Any kind of infraction with the law puts Akiyuki's false identity at risk, Kaito's status as Kid a little bit closer to the surface, and he hasn't had gummi bears today. There better be a good explanation for this.]

I didn't even do it, I swear!

[Kaito throws up his hands in exasperation.]

I caught someone painting over the cameras and thought it was suspicious. They bolted, I got caught "red-handed".

...I believe you solely because you're the only person I know whose luck is legitimately that bad. I hope you know Toika has been completely heartbroken by this. She's just been sitting on your clothes, staring out the window.

So. They're processing your paperwork - which was hell to forge, never make me do that again - and then you're free.

You're too good for me. What did I do to deserve you?

[Also why didn't we think about forging this shit before something happened?]

It's so dumb. The LEAST they could have done was charge me for something interesting. I haven't even stolen anything in months.

You brought me kittens.

Kai, don't. Just, don't. You're verbally tempting fate and it's been a long enough day as it is.

[He leans back in the chair, pouting like the child he is sometimes. What was even worse? He didn't even have to BE here. If he'd been in uniform he could have ditched the cops, but his face was recognizable in that area. He couldn't risk 'Kaito'.]

Their security is terrible.

I know. But even so, this isn't a part of town you should've been in anyway. Fujita territory, and their gang is recruiting, so... yeah, I kinda had to explain to the cops we were a couple or they'd have interrogated you for being, um, a wannabe Fujita rentboy.

[He leans back in preparation for the sputtering that will ensue as that implication sets in. He had to get prostitution charges dropped against you, Kaito. This has been a long day.]

[Kaito isn't slow by any means, but oh my god that takes a minute to digest.]

WHAT?!

[Dear god, he wasn't even that pretty?? And how was he supposed to know this was recruiting season? The gangs shifted so often that he still had trouble keeping up.]

....I thought their territory started on third...

Their territory did start on Third Street until the Furuhashi twins, Furuhashi Fumiko and Furuhashi Fusako, decided they were going to hit the Tong so hard their proteges would be automatically accepted. They took a team of seven other girls in and long story short, word is they have everything clear up to Mercury Street.

So there's been a lot of guys trying to get with the Furu-Kyu, as they're being called, because nine people clearing out six streets? That's rare even in these parts. And the kanji in the graffiti had one of the Furu-Kyu's name's in it.

I had to have the manager at the sushi place vouch for our gayness or you'd be charged with defamation of public property, aiding and abetting a known criminal, and prostitution. You have no idea what your bail ended up being. You owe me back rubs and gummi worms from now until 2040, Kai.

I love you.

[He has the most grateful expression on his face.]

I'd been set to give you those anyway, but I am yours for eternity, I swear it.

[Hell. Kid probably hit those first two charges at least once every so often, but prostitution? Who the hell would look at him and go 'yeah, every gang lady in town wants a piece of that'?? Chills. Horrible chills.]

I love you too. Enough that I probably won't laugh about this later because, well, I've seen what happens to the guys Fujitas pick. It's nothing I'd wish on my worst enemy, let alone the guy I love.

[On a lighter note:] I'm holding you to the gummi worm thing, you know.

[In a whisper, he adds:] We're gonna have to up our game this August. Hit the Fujitas where we can, when we can. This is getting out of hand.

[He glances back at the guard and leans forward, his expression entirely doting, though his words are serious.]

If they keep expanding there are several families that are going to be caught in a bad place. Plus they're starting to edge on my territory [Unofficial territory, but he's come to associate their blocks as his.] and that's unacceptable.

The Furu-Kyu are aiming high; they're all about the original 'spirit of the Fujita' and what their founder stood for. This isn't about territory alone to them. They're genuinely invested in the ideology, and that's dangerous. The whole gang could get caught up in this upswing.

We're gonna have a lot of work to do when you get out. I hate to say it, but if you hadn't been caught for something you didn't do, we might've been too late on this one.

Suddenly I'm glad I was arrested.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

I'll follow your lead on this. You know the intricacies a lot better than I do. Tokyo had gangs, but not like this. Just let me know where you want me.

I am too. Barely. I think you shaved ten years off my life expectancy when I got that phonecall.

[Akiyuki purses his lips, chewing the inside of his cheek.] It's pretty hard to just point you in a direction. There's a lot of factors here that complicate things. I can't send you in blind. That'd be a death sentence. I'll brief you on all this later, okay?

[The guard comes over, looking completely bored.] Whelp, the papers came through. You're good, boys. Maybe next time you two oughta go walkin' together. Can't be too safe around here.

[Akiyuki nods at the guard, wrapping his arms around Kaito the second the jail cell is opened in genuine relief and love. He squeezes him lightly, burying his head in Kaito's chest, in the crook of his neck.] Never scare me like that again, [he mutters, detangling himself from his boyfriend.] You're so cooking dinner tonight.

[Kaito squeezes him back, just enough to lift him up on his toes before they let go.] Trust me, if I'm back in here again for any reason other than I want to be, then it's too soon.

[He flashes a grin at the guard.] See ya, Lyle! Make sure you work on that poker face, okay?

[They get led back out to the front, and Kaito lifts his face towards the sky and inhales.] I'd say something dramatic about being a free man, but I don't think I have the right. Overnight isn't exactly a considerable sentence, there.

If you ever end up in here again I'm divorcing you and taking the cats. Don't push it, Kai.

[Akiyuki nods politely at the guard as they walk out, and exhales a breath he hadn't known he was holding when they clear the building.] Overnight on this side of town isn't, no. And it's a lot better than a night being played with by Fujitas with a vendetta.

If I drank, I'd say something about needing a beer right now.

[He laughs and tugs on Yuki's arm to pull him in close.] I have no intention of ever being here again. And now that I know it was a gang thing I'll make sure to disappear next time instead of doing the honest thing.

[He cups Yuki's face with one hand, an eyebrow raised in silent question. He doesn't want to kiss him here if it'll make him uncomfortable, but he really wants to reassure him that he's here and okay, and eternally grateful.]

[Akiyuki doesn't hesitate to lean up and kiss him, in full view of the world. His blood had run cold when he heard Kaito was in jail and all he cares is that he's safe, that he's unhurt and no charges are being pressed. Gangs are one thing. Gangs make sense. The police don't.]

[Kaito, weirdly enough, lives on the other side of that spectrum. While Japanese police are different from American police, there's enough similarities that the law has never actually scared him. Even when it's crooked it makes a certain amount of sense to him.

But that's a conversation for another time, should they ever bring it up again. For now he's content to wrap his arms around his boyfriend and kiss him back, trying to express physically what he sometimes has trouble saying honestly.]

I overthink this AU so much.

It's beautiful, it really is. I love the life in it.

I have a Word doc of NPCs I really need to update and post someday...

I really love a good dedicated AU

Dedicated, growing like an unchecked parasite - tohmayto, tohmahto.
