[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.

	That's what I like to hear! [ she sounds 100% genuine about that. ] If you want, I can show you around and we can grab something. It seems to be how I've made a lot of friendships here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? I'm always up for that. [It's also a way to make more than just a friendship, though Bart's too amused to point that out.] Maybe not today, since I think my cousin wants to take me out, but definitely tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ aradia's terrible at realizing how any of what she says comes off half of the time, so she wouldn't quite know. ] Oh! You know someone here? That should make things a lot easier for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apparently. [If he sounds nervous, it's because he is.] I've never met him before, but he says we're related - and well, why lie about that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's definitely not an unusual occurrence here, the whole meeting-strangers-who-aren't-strangers. That's what happens when you're in a place that messes with timelines! I feel lucky to have experience with that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? Your world dealt with that before? I've dealt with parallel universes, but never the timestream, so it's all brand-new territory for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	corpsepartying 2013-05-06 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I've most definitely got experience. I myself happen to be able to manipulate time, though only in minor ways now under the prison's restrictions. Parallell universes? Do tell, please, I'm quite curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time? You can manipulate time? [He whistles softly.] Damn, girl. There's not much to tell with the parallel universe thing - compared to what you can do, it's baby science. Basically, a guy crossed over from his universe into ours, and we had to pick up the pieces. [Bart's never traveled into another universe. Not yet, at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
