[Jaunt] This is worst party yet

[verdeleonessa]

So, I have good news and bad news.

[She should probably just message Matt and maybe Zarkon and Alfor, but... what the heck, let everyone hear.]

The good would be that I found Shiro, Keith and Lotor. All in one place!

[Wohoo!]

The bad would be that we're all in jail.

I'm working on getting us out of here though, if we don't get released. We did kinda bunch cops in the face so they might not want to let us out and... yeah.

You're...all in jail. [Okay so she only knows Lotor, but four travelers in jail at once feels like a bad idea.]

[verdeleonessa]

Yeah... Lotor and I were helping out Shiro's overlay and then Keith's overlay was involved too. So our party was moved behind bars.

[canbebrave]

[if only the psychic network could hear the annoyed noise she just made out loud.]

If you can think of a way for me to pay your bail without looking suspicious, I can. I seem to have an overabundance of money.

[thornsofmalkav]

Aren't you both redheads? Or... reddish-brownheads, in Pidge's case. Maybe you can claim she's your cousin.

[canbebrave]

That would probably work, without drawing any attention.

[verdeleonessa]

... oh right, bailing someone out is a thing.

[canbebrave]

You forgot?

[reallymean]

Have they charged you with anything yet?

And dare I ask why you all opted for punching officers of the law in the face?

[Not that he can't see the appeal, if they're as deep in the pockets of the Erebus Corporation as everything else on this world seems to be, but it probably shouldn't be encouraged.]

[verdeleonessa]

I don't think so.

They were falsely accusing Taichi for stealing cattle. They were even being violent with him.

[reallymean]

Are any of you injured? It might take some time to secure your release, but we should be able to get a medic through in the meanwhile.

[verdeleonessa]

Taichi has the worst bruises as far as I can tell. I think I have a few and Lotor got shocked by a taser, at least. Not sure about Keith.

[reallymean]

I'll find someone willing to visit the prison. For money, if not for decency.

[It should have been done already. They shouldn't have been harmed at all, but given they were, there should be a medic there to see to them, and while it doesn't show on along the thin, dry channel that is his connection to the psychic network, the fact that there isn't infuriates him.]

Ask to contact your family. Make it clear that you know there will be people looking for you. Don't antagonize the officers for now, but don't let them assume no one will notice what happens to you.

[tookashirototheknee]

I leave you alone for five minutes and you're in jail.

I can come and get you out. I think I remember the chemical compound Te'osh used to get me out.

[verdeleonessa]

I was helping Shiro, okay? His overlay was being accused for something he clearly didn't do!

I can handle myself, Matt. You stay away from prison cells.

[tookashirototheknee]

I admire your spirit, and probably would have done the same thing myself.

I, uh, also could come and get you out the normal way because I'm your brother.

[verdeleonessa]

I know you would have, if you'd seen it. You couldn't have left him alone... like I couldn't.

It'd work better than someone pretending to be my cousin. Closer family bond and all.

[tookashirototheknee]

Yeah. I'll get there asap.

Hang in there.

Also... Pidge or Katie?

[naturaltwohands]

Being thrown in jail seems almost a rite of passage here. But I must admit that you made my time in it seem small in comparison.

[Still, despite his amusement.]

Are all of you all right otherwise? At the moment? We can attempt to sneak in and rescue you.

[verdeleonessa]

Heh. I always actually knew I'd be one of the Travelers that announced they're in jail. Just didn't expect to announce so many others at the same time...

[Whoops? Well, at least she's kinda chipper.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Matt's coming in to bail me out, so no great prison break this time around. Maybe next time.

[Pidge...]

[naturaltwohands]

It seems that you know how to party.

[A mental chuckle.]

My father had to pick me up when it happened. But he didn't know humans well, so a friend of ours came with him. They together posed as my parents, and somehow they ended up married as a result.

It's a long story.

[verdeleonessa]

I always have the best parties.

[Said with total confidence.]

That sounds kind of weird, but also kind of romantic at the same time.

[dino_zarf]

I wonder if we're capable of going an entire Jaunt without anyone getting arrested...

[verdeleonessa]

This is the first time I've seen anyone get arrested. Granted, this is like, four Jaunt-full of prisoners, but... my point is, when's the last time someone was in prison?

[dino_zarf]

Technically it was Harrogate, I guess.

Seemed like we were attracting law type attention a lot for a while though.

[verdeleonessa]

Oh. I guess that was a Jaunt before I arrived. Though I've only heard of bad things about that one.
