if bucky were a monopoly token he'd be the shoe

WHO: James and YOU!
WHERE: some juvenile detention center somewhere in Recolle, idk
WHEN: 12/23 - 12/30
WHAT: After being arrested for assaulting John Egbert, James is placed in a detention center for a week, pending an actual court date. And while he's there, he'll be open to receiving visitors who can shame him for his poor life choices.
WARNINGS: a depressed angry teenager?


[ When it comes time for visitation days the actual dates of which I'm handwaving for convenience's sake for anyone who wants to visit him, James doesn't expect much in the way of visitors, really. In fact, he thinks he might almost prefer it--the fewer people come here, the fewer people have to see him in this sorry state, the fewer chances they have to tsk at him disapprovingly and tell him what he already knows. Hell, he's not even sure anyone knows he's here. All the better.

(Of course, James forgets that he was in a crowded mall the day before Christmas, beating someone in a Santa costume. There were dozens of witnesses who could talk about it, take video footage and post it online, and it even made local news the next day--his name wasn't mentioned, but it's not hard to identify him from the photos and videos, and not hard to find him from there.) ]

I- I dunno. ...They wouldn't be surprises if we knew!

[frostythehitman]

Alright, alright. Go gather up the surprise witnesses and...hope we don't need them, I guess.

[digthefuzz]

Um... Right! I'll scope out the scene and try to round some people out.

...It's gonna be alright, man.

[frostythehitman]

[ He's still not fully convinced, but sure. ]

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

[digthefuzz]

Hang in there, bro. [He says with a smile.]

And no matter what, you'll be getting your Christmas presents, man. Fo sho!

[frostythehitman]

Christmas presents? What, in here?

[ Is that even allowed? Does juvie care about Christmas? ]

[digthefuzz]

Well... Yeah! I think? As long as it's not pointy or anything, I'm sure it'll be dandy!

[frostythehitman]

Well...you can try. Or hold on to it until I'm out.

[ Whenever that's going to be. ]

[digthefuzz]

[He shrugs.]

I'll see how it goes, man. Just... hang in there, okay? This isn't the end of the world.
