--do you mean I'm under arrest? I didn't do anything!

Miss, I'm going to have to ask you to come along quietly.

Don't I even have a right to know why you're doing this??

You'll get your answers down at the station. Now let's go, or I'll have to add resisting arrest to your charges.

Charges? As in MULTIPLE?!

[Oh hi, are you just tuning in? Arnook and Nari are recording together this time, from up pretty high in a tree it looks like, but it's serious business. From their spot up in the tree they've-- and thus the network --got a good view and Officer Jenny can't order Katara to put her back in her ball-- YET. Arnook turns the gear on Nari and she immediately begins to gesticulate.]

Pikapii! Pikachu! ("Robin! Wally! You've got to get down here, Katara is in trouble! Bats, Big Barda, Jack! Are you there? Get your trainers!")

[Arnook cuts the feed and hands the gear off to Nari just as a distraught, frustrated, and confused Katara is being put in handcuffs.]

(ooc: Katara's replies will be coming later from inside the cell, once Nari and Arnook sneak it in through the window ~~or something~~. Action for anyone in Ecruteak (I think?) who wants to come troll or help.

EDIT: And stealthy jail break is happening later, so no need to worry about her getting out!)

[welp, that's awkward. ALSO, HE'S KIND OF... UNSURE WHAT TO SAY so he's just gonna imitate a fish for a moment before ducking off screen.]

[TEXT BECAUSE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING OUT. DAMN BUTTONS.]

hey, are you alright?

Yeah. Just a little shaken up.

so what did they get you on?

[Sighs, because she'd hoped they might be understanding about this but--] I started work the day that Danny was attacked, so apparently I didn't stay long enough and they counted that as ditching. I guess because they couldn't find me that... aggravated the charge.

[A pause, then she adds.]

and I... MIGHT have told them how stupid I thought that was. [Can you FEEL her cringing? Cause she is.]

really? what if you told them that you didn't feel good.

I don't think that would matter, I think they're just NPC's, like that "mother" woman in New Bark Town. You know, stuck on one routine.

and they have these people as cops?

Well according to what I've seen on the network before this whole world is based on some kind of electronic game for kids to start with. I don't know if this place is even actually supposed to be real.

wait, so this is some kind of kid's game?!

Some people seem to think so?

guess we can't cross off the possibility of this being a simulation then.

[Holy balls!]

Katara!

Hey, Danny. [She can't believe this. It's just been one heck of a day. Sighing.]

What the heck is going on?! Why are you in jail???

[Switching to text because she doesn't want them to take her gear away too. Nari snuck it in as it is.]

"Abandoning" my job. I guess they take it pretty seriously.

[Not gonna say why or when she abandoned it.]

You're kidding! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I mean, you probably left to deal with all those Grimer and Trubbish, right?

[... Damn it Danny she hates lying.]

Something like that. I told them pretty much the same thing, but I think I could've gotten out if I hadn't. I don't think they appreciated it very much.

What, that you were saving them from a wave of gross? NPC's are seriously weird.

No... that I thought that law was stupid and they were being ridiculous.

Either way, it's still stupid.

....How long are you stuck there?

A week, I'm pretty sure they said.

Is there anything I can do? Like pay your bail or something?

It's alright, Danny, but thanks for offering. I'm not sure if they're even offering bail. But would you mind letting Robin and Wally know I'm here, in case they missed the post before? I don't want them to worry.

Sure. If that's what you want.

[Yeah, see, normally he'd go for video, but as somebody who's spent a lot of time behind bars? There's no way he's going to risk Katara getting her Pokégear confiscated as contraband. If the cops haven't taken it away yet, it's their own stupid fault.]

Wow. Didn't think you had it in you to break the rules. I'm impressed, princess.

Not that I'm incapable of breaking rules, but this time I didn't do it on purpose.

Eh, nobody's perfect. Maybe if you try harder next time, you can get busted on purpose.

Unless it's staging another prison break I have no intention of getting arrested on purpose again. [Okay, she's obviously either bored or just glad for some "company", so, she's not going to completely discourage this idea. He'll probably think the reasons are dull anyway.]

Edited 2012-05-23 16:27 (UTC)

Then you're lucky for it's me you're talkin' to. I've busted outta my share back home. Depending on where you are, I might even be in the mood to help.

Gotta warn you though, it's gonna involve some serious rule breaking.

[Yeah, he sounds like he's enjoying this way too much.]

Thanks, but no thank you, Duncan. It's really sweet of you to offer, but I don't want anyone even risking getting in trouble for my sake.

[Ha! She's worried about him getting into trouble. Him. The one who'd probably get thrown in jail on his own just because he got bored.]

Listen jailbird, I already got a juvenile record as long as my arm back home. I figure if I'm stuck here I might as well start a new one, and there ain't much better ways to kick things off than a felony.

Edited 2012-05-23 19:02 (UTC)

[It takes Robin a while before he can respond, looking more than just a little pissed off.]

You okay, Katara?

[The plan wheels are already in motion...]

[Leapin' leprechauns, Batman! That's a look she doesn't see much of.]

I'm alright, Robin. [Not going to say anything about being shaken up because he looks mad enough already.] It's actually not the first time I've been locked up, but probably the most pleasant of the experiences. [TRYING TO KEEP IT LIGHT OKAY. She doesn't want you worrying, so she puts on a brave face.]

Edited 2012-05-21 18:57 (UTC)

[Uh-huh, yeah, he's not believing that brace face! Don't worry, your freedom will come soon enough.]

Why'd they bring you in?

[Damn it Robin stop being such a detective. BUY IT.

Oh fine. Exhales and rubs her neck a little.]

For "ditching" work on the first day, when we came to see Danny, and also apparently unintentionally evading arrest... And because I maybe told them how ridiculous I thought it all was?

[Nothing escapes this kid. NOTHING.]

Are you serious? And they're going to put you in jail?

[Put, but not keep.]

[She sees that now.]

Not just going to, already did. [Shows a quick shot of her cell, albeit a nice one.] Nari and Arnook were hiding when it happened, so she was able to sneak the Pokegear in to me. Did they find their way back to you guys? [Worried, Arnook is practically a baby okay.]

_{[... What the hell...]}

Dude, what did you do?

Re: Probably video unless he came to visit later?

Text; If he makes it before the jailbreak he sure can! >;D

Re: Text, he might, maybe not though. He'll be glad to hear she gets out though!
