Oh hey, you're out of jail! I knew that wouldn't last too long.

... So, you're saying they do weird stuff for holidays?

[izlegal]

Yes, my lunatic younger-self and his infinitely deranged father broke me out shortly afterward....

Yes, although New Years nothing too drastic changed.

[stay_cool_bro]

The year changed, what else do you need to change, right?

- Well, I can see why he wouldn't want you to be in jail if you're him... still, it's gotta suck having your younger self around! I'd be embarrassed as hell if that happened to me.

[izlegal]

Actually, I don't think the year did change, but that's a bit too long and troublesome to explain now. Besides, it's trivial.

[...] [sigh] It's not so terrible, but he can be a little... childish.

[She's been absentmindedly shuffling around the house, kind of out of it. She missed Simon.

His call caught her attention, though, and she walks into the room, looking curious.]

Wh-why would you be concerned?

[izlegal]

What they might have in store. Maybe they'll lock us in our rooms for the holiday. [playful smirk.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

[She doesn't get it.] Th-that wouldn't be so bad.

[izlegal]

[It's okay, he didn't mean it any certain wai. The smirk falls, and he looks tired again.] I suppose not. I just don't want you hurt.

Simon...

[izlegal]

[...] He was an alright kid.

[dynamic_may_lee]

... Better than that, really.

[izlegal]

I suppose. He never was much trouble.

[electrowhipit]

You think the town might do something for this... Valentine's Day?

[izlegal]

I haven't known the city to miss a bit of holiday excitement.

[electrowhipit]

Oh goodie. What do you think it'll do?

[izlegal]

I can only do so much guessing before I'd need ESP to give you the correct answer.

[braided_icarus]

Simon....?

...Shit.

[izlegal]

As of about mid-day today.

[braided_icarus]

The hell did he do? It had better not be permanent...

[izlegal]

Like i said, I haven't a clue. I know he'd been trying to make amends for the riots, and it could be a delayed result of that, but I can't say for sure. Either case, as far as I know, he's done nothing recent to upset the city.
