If anyone's looking for me for the next two weeks, don't worry. I'm safe.

I'm just not able to move around during that time. I'm not hurt, though.

I'd have sent this directly to people, but I'm not able to right now - so don't respond unless you mind me not being able to respond privately.

I guess this means I'm missing Valentine's Day? I don't mind much, though. That holiday can be more trouble than it's worth.

On a somewhat related note, what are some things you can do when you're bored that don't involve your Pokemon?

Really? Don't you have any books you wanted to read? A room you wanted to clean, a new recipe you wanted to try out?

[text]

[grapeeater]

I don't exactly have access to any of those right now.

...Look, if you're lost in a cave somewhere, just say the word and you'll get help. No one's going to laugh, I promise.

[text]

[grapeeater]

No, it's not a cave. It's something a little more urban.

The rescue offer also applies if you've been captured by a crazed dictator and are being held captive in his home. I've got successful experience with those situations, I promise.

[grapeeater]

More lawful than that. But thanks.

And I do too, somewhat.

[text]

[captainash]

Oh. That kind of thing. Yeah, it's best to stay put and behave in that case. Leaves a good impression, just in case you need it in the future.

[text]

[grapeeater]

I figured, but I've never done it before.

[text]

[captainash]

If you're only there for two weeks, it's not so bad unless staying put drives you crazy. And it might even spare you whatever madness or swarm will happen this month.

[text]

[grapeeater]

That's true. I don't do well with being confined, though.

[text]

[captainash]

That's not good. How large are the cells, and how often are you allowed out.

[text]

[grapeeater]

It's not too small, but I don't know the schedule yet.

[text]

[captainash]

If you're only there for two weeks, maybe they won't even bother with a formal one.

[text]

[grapeeater]

They might not. It's hard to say... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

[text]

[captainash]

That's for the best. Who knows? Maybe they'll let you out early for good behavior.

[text]

[grapeeater]

The justice system here seems weird anyway. It's not like it's likely to be a terrible punishment.

[text]

[captainash]

Considering they have the same kind of punishment for everything from assault to skipping work early, they'd have to be soft about it.

[text]

[grapeeater]

Exactly. I just don't get it.

[text]

[captainash]

I'm sure there's a completely logical and acceptable explanation for that.

Nope, doesn't sound any more convincing when I write it down.

[text]

[grapeeater]

Since when did this place make any sense?

[text]

[captainash]

At this point, if it suddenly started making sense I think we'd all freak out.

[text]

[grapeeater]

Probably. At least it's a somewhat comfortable madness most days.

[text]

[captainash]

Most of the time, I'd even call it a pleasant one.
