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?

I'm not a criminal, Jade!

_{[Even if she has seen the inside of a lot of prisons, ironically. Not important.]}

I didn't know you wrote it. It said "Balfour" on the cover, so I thought it was just another Jade. Why is it--

_[OMG.]

Jade, are you married? Did you take your wife or husband's last name?

_{[THAT'S IT, ISN'T IT?]}

[antiseptic]

[He adjusts his glasses.]

It's always nice to see the youth of today exercising their over-active imaginations.

[showmeyourwreath]

It's perfectly within the realm of plausibility!

_{[And it would be nice to know that there's someone out there that loves him. That would have been interesting.]}

But if you mean to say that's not it, then why is it different?

[antiseptic]

[Interesting??? Wow Flora do you have some sort of stake in this.]

Now now, you can't simply expect everyone to detail their personal life at your request.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[She's a romantic okay!!! She's curious about these things!! So disappointing]}

Fine, that's fair. _{[So secretive!! But she'll leave him alone, she's not the prying type, tyvm.]}

Might I ask what rank you are, then?

[antiseptic]

[Could have fooled him.]

Colonel. Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces.

[Also unofficial right-hand man of the Emperor. 8) ]

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Good, then!]}

Imperial...oh, um, that's really impressive.

_{[And she means it but auuuugh how boned is she.]}

[antiseptic]

I'm honoured by your flattery.

[Waits for her to get to the point...............]

[pact]

Hn. Impressive? How absurd.

[antiseptic]

Hello, Richter. How nice of you to join us.

[pact]

You act like I had a choice in this.

[antiseptic]

[A shrug.]

I can't say I think much of you, aiding a young girl in committing crimes against the Empire.

[showmeyourwreath]

The whole Empire?! Just how important is this book?

[pact]

[ what the hell is going on here??? ]

[antiseptic]

[calm yo tits richter.]

It's been declared a forbidden text for a reason, you know. [He glances back at Richter.] Now, what's your part in this?

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[Oh shit son.

Maybe she won't mention having read some of it for the moment.]</sub>

What reason is that?

[pact]

My part is my business, not yours. Now answer the girl's question. [ He crosses his arms and sulks goes back to watching Flora and Jade. Probably. idek. ]

[antiseptic]

Of course, Master Richter. [It's not like Jade's the one doing the interrogation here or anything. Nope he's totally here to obey Richter's instructions.]

If I told you, then what would be the point of confiscating the book?

[showmeyourwreath]

Well...if you already have the book back, it's not as though either of can do anything with it, now. I think it's important to understand the gravity some knowledge holds.

[pact]

[ Richter notes that Jade isn't answering the question properly but he sort of doesn't care. Back to watching. ]

[antiseptic]

[Wow where is your scholarly thirst for knowledge]

I'm afraid it's classified information. The last person who received access to it nearly killed themselves. Now - [He adjusts his glasses again.] Flora, I'm prepared to accept that this was an honest mistake and allow you to leave.

On the other hand, I'm not so certain that Richter's intentions are so innocent.

[showmeyourwreath]

W-what?! _{[She claps a hand over her mouth in shock.]} That's terrible! Are they alright?

_{[Flora took it after they got married]}

[pact]

[ Richter raises an eyebrow at Jade's statement. Wow, whatever, dude. You can't speak for him. Except he's letting you so w/e. ]

[antiseptic]

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to discuss that.

[He raises an eyebrow back at Richter.]

Should I take your silence as an admission of guilt?

[showmeyourwreath]

Jade, I need to be frank with you. I've read some of the book. Is it something that will act on its own, or is it something that the reader needs to do?

_{[The books from her school's library are really deadly, sometimes! SHE HAS TO ASK.]}
