[Bart didn't know which was worse: waking up in prison, losing his superpowers, or receiving the ugliest jumpsuit known to mankind. He wasn't a stranger to law enforcement, having been on both sides of the equation, but Marina's new territory. It's like the sick, twisted love child of Atlantis and Belle Reve (complete with free ankle monitor! all yours for the grand price of your freedom!)

Unable to take off the monitor, Bart had settled for turning off his comm device and heading to the nearest clothing store. Thank god he'd woken up in Sector 4 - running would've been a pain in the neck. Unfortunately, he also doesn't have cash.

He wouldn't steal under any other circumstance, but people usually expect cash. That's just how capitalism works! If anyone asks, they never saw him. Of course not, because the kid who entered in a jumpsuit and the kid who left in a red t-shirt and white jeans aren't the same person. Absolutely not. Especially since that second kid had already dumped his prison jumpsuit into one of the inventory bins.

It would've been the perfect crime ~~not that he knows everything's free~~, but his conscience is making his heart race again... and of course, the second he tries to leave, he hits the door face-first and falls hard onto the floor (activating his voice feed in the process). Goddammit.]

OW.

Oh hey, this thing's on... [Bart fiddles with the feed some more, before hastily adding:] Ignore the man behind the emerald curtain, y'all. No - seriously, I'm not the tech guy, that's kind of Chloe's thing. I barely understood Twitter, I don't particularly get Facebook, and these wardens expect me to use this thing without breaking it? Or well, it seems simple enough, it's just... you know, prison tech. The last prison didn't have tech nearly this sophisticated.

[He's speaking rapidly about how much tech isn't his thing, even without his super-speed, until he remembers where he is. Bart coughs.] Right, sorry, fair people of Marina Novella. Nova? Marina Telenovela? Whatever we're called, I'll catch you on the flipside. Assuming that, you know, I don't get out of here on parole first.

	I was gonna say, kid... that's a waste of good watermelon. [Not that he has much room to judge, considering his takeaway message was "I really want some watermelons now."] Still, good to know. I'll keep that in mind next time I drop this thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Name's Dick, not kid. If you're call me something, name's always the best to go right? [Since he will make your life miserable otherwise.] You'll have to throw it really hard into a wall or something to break it. Kind of good since crazy stuff keeps happening around here.

	Right. [He laughs softly, though he kind of pities Dick too. What kind of parents give their kid that name in this day and age?] If we're going by names, then I'm Bart. What kind of crazy stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of stuff. One time everyone was acting all weird because they were getting possessed by people. Then there were ghosts all over the place. And there was that time someone made us see everything like we were trapped in bad movies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Wait. You mean there were ghosts? Like actual, honest-to-god spirits of dead people? [He'll get to the bad movie scenario later, but the ghost thing spooks him more than he wants to admit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Noooooot really. They just weren't really people. It was like someone brought to life your old memories and made them follow you around, but you couldn't talk to them, so it they were like ghosts, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow. [God, why'd they put this kid through that? It doesn't make any sense.] That's terrible. I didn't know this place was capable of... well, that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He may look like a kid, but really that wasn't the worst of it.] This place can do anything. You just don't know when it's going to happen. Usually it's pretty boring. (Reply to this) (Parent)
