[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.

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?

[second_star]

I've been in and out over the past two years. Just broke out again three days ago.

The stale bread was actually what happened my first break out. You'd think it was a rock, man.
