Minnesota:  Day 5

JADE: -slides open Jake's window.-

JADE: where did you get the device from jake?

JAKE: -snorts after having been dozing, motioning his hand quickly as if drawing out a pistol. But there is no pistol and he is blinking awake. Good thing brain ghost is gone.- Wuhor- -FOCUSES and frowns.-

JAKE: What device??

JADE: BARK

JADE: you know what i am talking about

JAKE: -yipes... But no. He puffs himself up, scrambling to his feet. Mustache scrunching up defiantly- Well quite frankly if youre so curious.

JAKE: I pulled it out of my ass!!!!!

JADE: you mean you believe i would have just left one in any of your available crevices?

JADE: because frankly thats silly even for you

JAKE: Well... you look silly! Parading about and barking at people. Youre the batterwitches lap dog and you friggin KNOW shes having a real laugh about it too!!!

JAKE: She doesnt care about you OR the things you might be left to care about jade! Shes just using you for your steadfast strengths. BECAUSE SHES TOO WEAK A CHARACTER TO HAVE THEM HERSELF!

JAKE: But youre not like that. Youve never been like that once jade. :(

JAKE: You know i will still love you no matter what you do right? Youre still family to me?

JADE: ...

JADE: thats very sweet jake, and also very misguided

JADE: i like who i am now

JADE: i could never say that before

JAKE: Well even so...

JAKE: You dont need some stupid fish to tell you how strong you are. When its always been true from the start.

JAKE: Plain and simple you dont need her.

JAKE: You can do whatever you want and no one would be able to stop you! HELL.

JAKE: Thats why youre here in the first place isnt it?

JAKE: -sniffs.- At least if you chose to be evil on your own accord youd have a more creative agenda.

JAKE: All that damn witch cares for is the OPPRESSION OF THE MASSES and making a quick buck. Bleh. Some villainess huh? Starching up your good name.(edited)

JADE: theres no point in fight—

JADE: fighting it

JADE: i understand that now and i know whats best

JAKE: -fixes her with watery puppy dog eyes.- Thats alright jade thats all why im here. To fight it for you.

JAKE: Despite it being stupid and then doubly stupid to do so. Its what im best at.

JAKE: Ill take it so you dont have to sweet pea. I really do love you.

JADE: ....

JADE: grrrrRRRR!!

JADE: RRRRRRRR!!!!! -Deep growling, and she's starting to spark again.-

JADE: BARK!!!

JADE: -she reaches up, hands like claws grasping at the sides of her head before she shakes it, wildly.-

JAKE: - ;___; he's gotta. He's gotta reach for her.-

JADE: NO!!!!!!

JADE: jake... -She looks pained for a moment -- just for a moment, before her face twists in an angry scowl.-

JADE: BARK!!!! -There's another flash of green that engulfs them both, and then they're somewhere else, in a room that looks far more metallic than the previous cell, lights glowing dimly overhead.-

JADE: clearly i cant keep you like the rest of the prisoners

JADE: besides

JADE: she wants to know how to unlock that potential of yours

JADE: im sure shell be interested to know what youve done

JADE: take care jake -ZAPS AWAY.-

JAKE: ?????????? -totally disorientated as they're zapped away. And he's left.- Jade! Please!

JAKE: Dont leave me alone!!!!!!!

[But no one came.]

JAKE: -huddles into the corner of this new cell. Ashen and terrified.-

JAKE: -panicked eyes search the edges of the cell and he's crawling along the edges. Any doors? Vents? Windows?-

[It looks like there's a door, but this one doesn't even have a window. There's a little bit of ventilation, but not in a space one could fit into. There's a single bed and a little medical tray table, though.]

JAKE: -Oh lordy. This is bad. He tests the bed with one hand, eyeing the medical tray table. Is there anything on there? He could possibly make something out of this if he's given enough time to stew over it.-

[Only empty space. There might have been some sort of patient or experiment in here at one point, but not anymore.]

JAKE: -He hopes this was evidence of a miracle. But probably not.-

JAKE: -inspecting the bed for MIND CONTROLLING MECHANICS. Or anything similar. He's watched movies.-

JAKE: -And for that matter, he'd like to get a hold of small metallic parts too. He'll tear up the table if he has to.-

[He does find a selfie of Condy under the mattress, matted with glitter.]

JAKE: -Darnnit... Now he has the glitter all over his front. BLEH.-

JAKE: -stares intently at this selfie of Condy. Committing it to memory.-

JAKE: -flips it it over, is it signed or something?-

[It's got a glittery lipstick mark on it in pure tyrian. Also, it reads "bitch u thot"]

JAKE: -It would be kind of funny if he wasn't terrified. Was this really his grandma's step mom? The rascally old batterwitch...-

JAKE: -Thinking she could take everything she wanted and have it not matter? If she was so big a bitch, Jake would take her on right now and PROVE it!!! He remembers what Brain Ghost Dirk said before. He CAN do something.-

JAKE: -blood boiling with the picture in his hands, he wills the lights above him to SURGE and then short out. He'll show them ALL a thing or two.-

JAKE: -It's so dark he can close his eyes and almost imagine himself being back on Hell Murder. Up to his fucking knees in pumpkin patch. This was a test, Jake English. How far can you push it? How many people were counting on it? Besides yourself, he decides. Himself?-

JAKE: -He visualizes it, testing. This small grain of belief that he can do this. And inexplicably as the belief solidifies in his mind, real actual pumpkin vines start growing from the walls of his cell. 1 pumpkin. That's all he needs. It's so silly and nonsensical but it can't actually be hard can it?? SO MAKE IT HAPPEN, DAMN YOU.-

JAKE: -With Jake's concentration, the pumpkin vines flourish until they cover the whole floor of his cell. Sweat drenching up his brow.-

[Someone, somewhere is watching all this... And she's impressed.]

JAKE: -Remember why you're here! He folds up the picture and puts it into the pocket of his shirt. Determined.-

JAKE: -And then wills about 10 pumpkins to grow in his cell. Hff. He did it.-
