The Jail Cell Meme

You are now trapped in a jail cell. You may or may not know why or how you got inside of it; having been teleported into one due to the fickle whims of a resident deity is just as acceptable as getting arrested. (Maybe because of this?) You also might be innocent. If you're innocent and confused then it really sucks to be you.

You have company. Their circumstances might be the same or different from your own. But you're stuck together for a while.

What do you guys do?

Well, I don't remember Sabes being my father, or my mother at all, but the people who adopted me were totally chill. Dad was a banker, Mom a housewife. I took gymnastics, went to the mall, had friends. You know, normal stuff.

[She shrugs.]

My Kurt's mom has a picture of a whole bunch of us. Me, Scott, Alex, Kurt, his twin brother, Sabes and Logan. None of us remember because, except for Scott, we were all toddlers, ya know?

[thefuzzyguy]

Twin br... Every time I think I'm used to the stuff you say you confuse me again.

[He says it a bit weakly. Maybe he'll get the hang of her... someday? Because that should be his priority while he's trapped in a crazy other dimension.]

[thelittlestbub]

[She sighs.]

Yeah, try living it. Guy's a total jerk too. But, whatever.

[She's watching the door.]

I wonder if I could blow that door, even with the electricity. Okay, so the docs will probably have my head, but... whatcha think?

[thefuzzyguy]

Oh, well, that's alright then.

[Taste the sarcasm.]

But ja, let's give the door a shot. Better than sitting here being nice. Und even if I can't port straight, I can still do my best lemur imitation.

[thelittlestbub]

[She rolls her eyes.]

His husband is a weirdo, and he's far too pretty for his own good.

[She likes Byakuya, but, really, the guy is far too pretty for his own good and knows it.

Jubilee rolls to her feet and studies the door and then the wall. She can't touch the door, obviously, but maybe....]

Okay, stay back, and like, don't touch me. This... might get weird. Like, really weird. I've never done this without Margali sitting on my shoulder.

[thefuzzyguy]

If you say so. I'll just hang out und watch the fireworks, and prepare for a bad fur day, then.

[Energy in the air is troublesome if you're totally covered in fluff. At least his fur is too short to stick out very far.]

[thelittlestbub]

[She gives him a wild smile over her shoulder and flexes her hands. Her knuckles crack a little and her fingers spark.

Her shoulders straighten and she takes a deep breath.

However, instead of throwing the PAFs at the door, or at the wall, she sends them flying toward the corner - where walls connect between the cells.

The boom resounds in the room and she steps back, putting an arm up over her eyes. The dust clears and the bricks fall down, cascading over the ground.

Jubilee's out the hole in the wall, shimmying through the bars that are still there. She grins.]

Come on!

[thefuzzyguy]

Neat trick.

[The potential pirate in him appreciates the sideways tactic.

He takes a leap through and flips up onto the ceiling. Fortunately for him, the aesthetics of creepy paramilitary prisons call for lots of handholds on the walls and ceiling, and he's perfectly comfortable running along up here.]

[thelittlestbub]

Detonate on a subatomic level, dude. I can blow up... well, just about everything.

[She grins and runs down the hall, finding the very complicated mechanism that held the other cells shut. Jubilee is not an engineer. Nor does she know this stuff.

There isn't a button that says 'open'. Well. She can fix that.

BOOM!

She jumps out of the way as it sparks. Jubilee raises an arm to protect her eyes.]

Ummm, oops?

[thefuzzyguy]

[Most of the sparks don't make it all the way to the ceiling, but the electrical disturbance upsets a lot of the wiring up there. He makes a judicious jump to the floor, brushing a bit of debris out of his hair.]

Neat fireworks, ja.

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee grins sheepishly. Sometimes, she still forgets that her powers are a bit... powerful to be shoving at electronic equipment.

There's a reason she still has to have a Forge phone.

Sighing, she shoves herself up.]

Okay, so... outta here. Back to our home dimensions, right? Ideas?

[thefuzzyguy]

Wish Forge was here? I don't know how to get to other dimensions...

[Maybe he should try to listen to the guy a little more in the future.]

Find the dimension button and don't blow that one up?

[thelittlestbub]

I always wish Forge was here. I'm so glad you have a Forge. Because he is awesome and should be taken care of at all times, and don't let him near SHIELD.

[She looks around. There's only one door out, though there don't appear to be any other prisoners following them. Well, that's their problem isn't it? She wants to help them out, but she's kinda gotta get herself back before someone flips out. Like Scott. People don't realize how hard he flips out sometimes.]

Out the door it is, Elf. Let's go.

[She doesn't even bother being subtle. She just shoves open the door and starts running down the hall.

... No guards. Weird.]

[thefuzzyguy]

Yeah, cool guy, even if he did almost feed me and the rest of the school to extra-dimensional demon-raptors one time. I'm sure he didn't mean to.

[Oh, Forge...

He's starting to feel a little useless with his porting all screwed up, so he tries to get ahead of her, bounding back and forth from wall to wall. He can see a little better from up here. And it looks cooler.]

[thelittlestbub]

... Demon raptors? Do I wanna know?

[Sure, there was that one time in GenX that Ev had to save them. And then, a few other things, but mostly Forge is cool! She likes going down to see him now and again. And telling Fury to go the hell away and leave him alone.

Then again, she likes just telling Fury to go the hell away.]

Scout ahead. There looks to be another terminal over there. I'm gonna see if there's a map or something.

[thefuzzyguy]

It was an accident. Experimenting with my teleporting, accidentally opened up the dimension I jump through, there's a reason for the sulfur smell... But ja, scouting now.

[He sticks to the ceiling. Ceilings are less likely to have traps and alarms. It's tough to scout when you have no idea what you're up against, but looking out for guards and weapons should probably do the trick.]

[thelittlestbub]

[She nods, fingers on the keyboard. Not like it's in English... or any language she actually knows. She's kinda flailing at this, and pushing random buttons.

Why didn't alternate dimensions have mandatory 'this way out in case of fire' postings? That would make her life easier!

So, no map to be found. Or, at least, nothing she could tell is a map. That makes her sad. So, best to go through this the hard way.]

You see any stairs, or an elevator or... doors or anything?

[Press a button, nothing happens. Press a button, get beeped at but no map.]

[thefuzzyguy]

Uh... Door. Maybe. Let me check.

[He skitters along the ceiling like a spastic squirrel. Does look like something, but in such a weirdly featureless hallway, the eyes are prone to making up details just to break up the monotony.]

Want to head this way or keep poking buttons?
