[even though the lighting is horrid, it's obvious that the video feed is taking place inside a prison cell. the figure of a large man is just barely visible sitting against the far wall. his hands and feet are shackled and a blindfold covers his eyes. for a long moment the only sounds are faint voices from babbling prisoners in cells far away. and then he speaks.]

Damn...

[the man stirs. he sighs.]

Damn...

I'm bored outta my mind.

I wanna hear a story.

... Aaaghhh... [he grinds his teeth before settling into a more comfortable position- as comfortable as he can get with his limbs bound, anyways. he speaks absentmindedly; not like there's anyone around to take his words into consideration, anyways.]

I could really use some good entertainment right now.

The queen of witches, Mabaa! I'm the man who plucked her eye right out of the socket!

[second_star]

Ooh.

We don't really have witches where I'm from. Sounds like...an achievement though.

[goddamnshit]

Damn right it is! The only reason I'm in prison is because she couldn't execute me if she tried!

[second_star]

What would you need her eye for?

[goddamnshit]

She's the Grand Witch. Her magic is the strongest of 'em all, and now I have some of it for myself.

[second_star]

Then bust out already.

[goddamnshit]

... Can't. This damn blindfold's putting a stopper on my magic and the whole prison's charged with magic repressing charms. [or at least that's what it seems like?? lol no details at all from canon]

[second_star]

Wow. That's convenient. You don't look like you're that week though, I bet you bust out the hard way.

[goddamnshit]

I could! But! You ever seen those movies where the prisoner breaks out of prison without anyone even noticing? The way they do it's so subtle and cool, that's how I wanna get outta here.

... Can't dig a tunnel out with a spoon, though, since all they have here are chopsticks...!

[second_star]

....Movies?

[ What is technology that isn't magic. ]

[goddamnshit]

What, you've never seen a movie before?

[second_star]

That's not even a real word here.

What, is it something cool?

[goddamnshit]

Hell yeah. If it weren't for this blindfold I'd be asking for a movie, not a story.

[second_star]

So it's something you see. Like a bunch of pictures, right?

[goddamnshit]

Moving pictures, yeah. They're great.

[second_star]

That sounds kinda cool.

But yeah, stealth is the best way to get out. I usually just nab the keys when no one is looking.

[goddamnshit]

Tch... the key isn't even here. Mabaa has it, so there's no chance of unlocking my cell.

[second_star]

Pick the lock then.

[goddamnshit]

What'm I supposed to pick it with? Chopsticks? Because that's all I get around here aside from the lousy meals.

[second_star]

I bet if you waited till bread got stale, you could use that.

[goddamnshit]

... DAMMIT!! I never even thought of that-!

[second_star]

Try it next time!

[goddamnshit]

Yeah! Yeah, I will! Thanks!

[second_star]

Hey, inmates gotta stick together.

[goddamnshit]

-You in prison too? Did the stale bread thing work for you before?
