Minnesota:  Day 1

[Jake, Roxy, James, and the cherubs will find themselves in individual cells with singular windows and slots in their doors.]

JAKE: -YODEL LANDS in his own cell, completely thrown out of sorts after he lost sight of everything in the crackle of green energy. Tumbles largely, panicked and fearful. Everything happened so fast, Jake was so sure he was raring in the engineering labs a second ago! Sits on the ground stupidly as he lands right on his ass.- OOF.

JAKE: WHAT THE—

JAKE: WHAT THE JIP JUMPING JACK CRACKERS JUST HAPPENED??? ANYBODY? -cries out to nobody in particular. He was alone... and immediately starts checking for his sylladex.-

JAMES: -thrown off balance as he lands precisely in the center of this cell. When he blinks the light out of his sight, James goes to check for his sylladex. John's voice still rings in his ears and he has to see... can he message anyone? Does he have his communicator? He is massively worried right now.-

JAMES: -For that matter, can James hear Jake yowling in the distance?-

ROXY: =loudly= MMMMMMMMMOHMYGOD

[No communicators can be found on anyone in this group. Looks like they got boned in the midst of travel.]

[The yowling is vaguely audible.]

JANE: -slides open the slot on Jake's door, peering inside.- Looking for something?

JAKE: -Was halfway to scrambling to his feet when the face appears. He gawks and then falls back on his ass.-

JAKE: My pistols you scarlet faced o hera! And i dont mean to be rude madam but—

JAKE: I dont take it youre here to jostle the keyhole HUH??? -Jake... why do you words.-

JANE: No. I'm not.

JANE: You have been carefully chosen for an important role in my new empire. Your mouth leaves much to be desired in the face of your nigh limitless potential.

JAKE: Your empire?? NOW WAIT JUST A DIDDLY DARN MOMENT MISSY. -scrambles to his feet, going for the window with a large puffed chest.-

JAKE: Ill run my mouth all i like as far as im concerned! Youre keeping A FREE THINKING MAN captive for some nefarious purpose! I think ill speak my piece!!!! >8V

JANE: -Casually shuts the door window with a satisfying THUNK.-

JAKE: -There was NOTHING satisfying about this thunking. NOTHING.-

JANE: Oh, Jake... -walks away-

JAMES: -Was that Jane? James cautions a peek through the window, hoping to catch a glance of her.-

JAKE: -goes back to charlie brown AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAURGHing.-

JAMES: ...

JAMES: -shuffles at the door. Unhappy that he cannot reach the crying infant man.-

ROXY: =Same..... she wants to get through these walls or in the hall.. what's in the hall?=

JADE: -Seems like SHE'S in the hall. Growling outside Roxy's door and then she slides something under it before opening the door window.-

JADE: woof

ROXY: ..... =She was gonna try to poof in the hall but it seems like... that's a bad idea right now..... glances down=

ROXY: ok

ROXY: are u gonna boof @ me or like..... =squints= wtf happened 2 you baby :'(

JADE: i am just fine, roxy

JADE: in fact i am feeling better than ever

JADE: but what happened to me isnt the issue here

JADE: whats relevant is whats happening to you, or rather, what it means you will be doing for her imperious condescension

JAKE: -hears the muffle of voices thru the door and 👂straining to hear.-

ROXY: o hell to the en oh

ROXY: im not doin shit for her especially since its like super glarin'ly obvi that this is some dumb shit cooked up by her lackies >:(

JAKE: -bangs at the door.- ROXAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! -awoo...-

ROXY: AND shes got my animals caged up like ANIMALS and this is a shituation i give a big fuck u to

JADE: sorry, but that answer isnt in the cards

JADE: it doesnt matter what you want to do because you dont have a choice

JADE: open the file

ROXY: =Makes such a stank face, looks at the file= stfu condy

ROXY: =She'll get him and everyone else out of here.... picks up the file and opens it=

JADE: -GLITTER FLIES EVERYWHERE. It's a heavily blinged piece of fileage.-

JADE: -Inside is a picture of a weird knobbly spike ball, and instructions that more or less read that Roxy needs to make it.-

JAKE: -sits his butt at the edge of his cell, screwing up his eyes. Come oooon hope powers. Hope powers GO. Go nOW.-

JAKE: ...

JAKE: -Nothing happens. He's too worked up and as he opens his eyes, the walls seem to close in on him. Jake huffs, trying his damndest not to think about other things that are rushing to him suddenly. If he was safe, where was everyone else? What if they were hurt and there was nothing Jake could do?? Nothing except---

JAKE: Sniff. 8'( -starts to blubber to himself and hugs his knees now that the bravado was fading.- (Boo hoo...)

ROXY: >:T

ROXY: tf is this shit

JADE: its your new job

JADE: to make the matriorb

ROXY: =opens her mouth= .... see i cant even like say my nastyass snappy comebacks because i love jade 2 much >:'C

ROXY: the gist is.... suck a butt

JADE: dont worry, im pretty sure i can take them

JADE: though i wouldnt advise doing so anyway

JADE: you may have reservations but i have none

JADE: and i dont think youd like me much when im angry >:K

JADE: in fact im sure of it

ROXY: then tell me who alls here and ill do my best

JADE: sorry, but thats not part of the agreement either

JADE: how about you do your best and i wont zap your eyes out?

ROXY: like i wouldnt look badass with robo eyes >:T

JADE: im sure you have plenty of other organs you would miss

ROXY: =sinks under the view of the window.... almost catknifing= like u miss whatever tf this thing is?

JADE: that doesnt matter!

JADE: it isnt such a bad deal to obey

JADE: with your powers, im sure things will be just fine for you

JADE: and i wont have to hunt down the rest of your friends where i dumped them and make you watch them bleed out, either

JADE: dont worry, i can wait until you get started

JADE: or at least until i start to get hungry......

ROXY: =Oh no... her weakness... her friends= tch

ROXY: then ill make u snausages or whatever tf...... ill C wut i can DO

JAKE: -curled up in a large ball back in his cell and slumps over. Gently crying himself a sweater a tears. He's crying but cheering for u, Rox.-

JADE: good

JADE: thats what i like to hear

ROXY: i kno snausages are like ur fav

JADE: BARK

JAMES: ....

JAMES: -squints at the cieling as he hears a bark.-

ROXY: that means jades still in there....

JADE: grr

JADE: im jade

JADE: a better and worse jade than youve ever known

ROXY: a worse worse jade

JADE: thats right

JAKE: -huddled up and drops into an uneasy sleep. Maybe things will be better... when he wakes up. This is all a bad dream.-

JAMES: -sits and waits quietly. Still having no idea what the hullabaloo this is all about. But he will be STRONG for the sake of others who are probably worried about him.-
