...okay, but the jails here suck. Hanging around up here is boring...

[There's a dramatic sigh.]

Anyone got any bail money before I bust myself out of here?

[Because he can, and he will. So he's thinking, anyway.]

And keep an eye out for Mr. Sparkles. I let him loose so he could maybe come pick me up later, but I bet he's just pretending to be me again.

Locking you up for being a public nuisance isn't overreacting.

[whydoyoushine]

Hey, this was nothing. If they wanna see nuisance, I can show them some real nuisancing...

[brokers]

And face far worse than temporary inconvenience as punishment.

[whydoyoushine]

Like they could really do anything to hurt me.

[brokers]

I have heard that before.

[whydoyoushine]

Hey, but I mean it.

It's not like they left this thing out anywhere that would give me problems.

[brokers]

Everyone means it. They're usually wrong.

[whydoyoushine]

I'm not--they weren't smart enough to leave me in direct sunlight.

[He laughs.]

I'm strong enough here.

[Quick, no one tell him about how the position of the sun changes as the day moves on, and that this might change...]

[brokers]

Until the Earth rotates enough that you are in direct sunlight.

[whydoyoushine]

...seriously?

[brokers]

Yes. Planetary rotation is what creates the day/night cycle. It is also what creates the appearance of the sun moving across the sky.

...Does direct sunlight do you physical harm?

[whydoyoushine]

Well, maybe I'd know that if I'd been out in enough day/night cycles...they kept me in a lot back home.

[Wait what crap no he doesn't want to admit that weakness like this crap crap crap]

No, I'm just stronger in the darkness. Emperor of Darkness, comes with the territory.

[Stronger in the darkness, weaker in the light, can't stay in direct sunlight for too long...]

[brokers]

I see. Then we don't need to worry about breaking you out before you're injured by the light. That simplifies things.

[whydoyoushine]

[...dammit.]

You know, you could do that anyway...the sun here might be, I dunno, different from the sun on my homeworld. Could do strange things.

[brokers]

I think I would prefer to avoid the exposure over nothing more than an unlikely maybe.

[whydoyoushine]

Aw, come on, where's your sense of adventure?

[brokers]

Breaking you out would be far too sedate to qualify as an adventure.

[whydoyoushine]

Hey, you don't know me very well. I can make it an adventure.
