Enjoy the confusion.


Reasons you're in Jail:
1. Public urination/defecation - You just couldn't hold it, could you? Well, you should have. Now you're waking up with someone doing the same all over your feet. Good job.

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:

[ It's both a surprise, and not a surprise at all, when Rinoa gets the call saying that Seifer's landed himself in jail. It's not that he's a bad person - he's not, and she'll always defend him to others who assume otherwise. He just has a bad habit of finding himself on the wrong side of a conflict, that's all. And so of course Rinoa goes straight down to the jail with the gil she's going to need to bail him out of this place. (She hopes she has enough. Whatever he did, surely it wasn't that bad, right?)

None of her knowledge of his personality stops her from fixing him with a Look once the warden escorts her to his jail cell. With a nod from her, the guard leaves, and the pair are left alone, on opposite sides of what amounts to little more than a cage. Her hands fall to her hips, and a little frown creases her brows as she peers through the gloomy light at him. ]

Okay, mister. What did you do this time? [ Despite her best intentions to remain stern, there's a hint of amusement and affection in her voice, and Rinoa stamps it down, trying to deepen her frown. ]

( No need to apologize! I myself took my own time, don't your worry about a thing. I'm a little rusty so I hope I do this well. Let us get started then! )

[ And naturally, he is seated on that rockhard bed with a slouch and his cool attitude, which wouldn't get him anywhere if he ever lands in actual, proper jail. And of course, THAT attitude got him into trouble the night before this moment. Stubborn though he is, he won't admit that he was in the wrong, but for the cops (the stinking, annoying authority he so despises) he was just as guilty as the rest of the ones tossed into jail for...

Vandalism and disorderly conduct.

Yeah, a bit anti-climatic but a given due to his wild nature. A few drinks, cocky bastards in a bar, a conflict happening and Kaboom! Seifer just had to show off.

He will promptly explain everything, naturally, but first he has to tease the girl. After all, she was the one who bail him out and that was equal parts embarrassing and amusing. To wash away the embarrassment, he had to have some fun. So, with a soft smirk, he slides off the bed and stretches his torso. ]

Well, well, if it isn't Rinoa. Who would've thought you'd be the one to save me in a pickle. [ Someone ought to wipe that smirk off his face. ] They didn't tell you what I did to get thrown in here?

[pinwheels]

( Looks awesome so far! More time-taking on this end, too. XD )

[ How is it, she wonders, that despite his predicament, he manages to keep that smirk on his face? Not to mention the way he stretches, as if he's so comfortable... He's probably all too aware that the movement makes his shirt ride up a little, too. Rinoa shakes her head. ]

Of course I'm here. [ They might not be together anymore, but she still cares about him. How could she not? ] I got a phone call saying you were in jail and you needed me. [ Her brows furrow a little more, trying to impress the seriousness of the situation upon him. (And probably failing, between the amusement tugging at her voice and her eyes determinedly fixed on his face. But at least she's trying, right?) ]

They didn't tell me why you're here. But if I had to guess... [ --and let's face it, she probably has to, because if this is the mood he's in today, she's unlike to get any voluntary answers-- ] Did you get in a fight? [ She stops short of adding "again". Either way, she can only hope it's something as relatively minor as that. ]

[stayoutofmyway]

( This is so much fun thank you for tagging me uwu <3 )

[ He smirk suddenly turns into a surprised expression, then very slowly it turns back into that smirk. Because of course. Two things amused him. First, the fact that they called her of all people to get him out. Which he addresses appropriately with a hand on his chest, as if flattered and mildly dignified. ]

Wow, they called you? That's interesting, I certainly expected Headmaster Cid--even if he isn't technically responsible for me anymore. I prefer this much better, the scolding isn't so much of a scolding coming from you.

[ And he won't say it--not unless he was in his death bed--but he really liked that Rinoa still cared about him. They may have no romantic feelings for each other anymore, but he still deeply cares about her, much like he oddly cares about Squall.

The second thing that amused him was the very accurate guess. She certainly knew him, or maybe his temper and love for fighting was that predictable. ]

Well, yes. That's part one of what happened. Second part has to do with what happens when you push someone really hard towards a property that isn't yours.

[pinwheels]

( I'm having fun too! ♥ Rinoa's trying so hard to ignore all her baser instincts of being empathetic and friendly, lol. He's right - she's not good at the scolding thing. )

Cid's busy. [ It takes all her effort not to launch into the whole story: Cid and Edea spend most of their time in Centra nowadays, rebuilding the orphanage. They've earned a whole new future together. It's exciting, and she wants to talk about it. But that's not why they're here.

No, they're here because Seifer fought, he damaged something that didn't belong to him... He probably has to pay for repairs too, not just bail. Hopefully it wasn't major damage; she doesn't have that much gil, and honestly could Seifer even afford it by himself now that he's not on a SeeD salary? What is he even doing for work now anyway...?

One problem at a time, Rinoa...

She ignores the jabs at her ability to scold (really, she's doing her best!), arms lifting to fold across her chest as she narrows her eyes at him. Her forehead's starting to hurt from all this brow-furrowing, and Squall always looks intimidating when he crosses his arms like this, so maybe she can strike some sort of balance between the two... ]

How much did they set your bail for, Seifer? [ She even tries to mimic Squall's most disinterested, irritated tone. She fails. ]

[stayoutofmyway]

( Aww! She's not good at it, but she'll probably learn how to if Seifer keeps going like this. )

[ Of course Cid is busy, Seifer wouldn't even ask. Though he is curious, but knows the answer will basically do nothing for him. Unless he wants to go to the orphanage.

Which is not a good idea.

Also? Why you're asking me like I know what Seifer's doing. I don't know! He's a force of nature not subjected to control, not even subjected to reason and out right doesn't know what he's doing half the time--. Ehem, anyways. ]

I think they said some 5,000 gil, though I may have been buzzed enough to mess that up. Though with your face I think they might lower it a little bit.

[ Yes, he's still smirking but now walking to lean against the bar. Wouldn't you know it? He already looks like a full convict. And of course, he has to squint a little at the... uh, attempts to intimidate him, which in turn just makes his smirk grow into a wicked grin. ]

You do know you look silly trying to mimic Squall, right?

[pinwheels]

( she's terrible; he's terrible in a completely different way; it's great! I'm having so much fun with this. )

[ 5,000 gil doesn't sound too bad. Not ideal, but in an ideal world they wouldn't be here anyway, right? The follow-up comment makes her roll her eyes, though; a hint of Rinoa creeping through in all her attempts to be a little more like Squall. ] I'm not using my face to bribe the offers, Seifer...! [ Is bribe even the right word in this case? She's not sure, but it works well enough. ] I have enough, so I'm just gonna...

[ She trails off, staring. Did he seriously just...? Rinoa huffs audibly, and somehow the arms across her chest feel less stern, more pouty. The facade is failing her, and it's all Seifer's fault! ] You are so... so... UGH! I'm not trying to mimic him!! I'm angry with you! What are you doing getting yourself put in jail anyway?! You've been doing so much better!
