[Jolyne has once again been canonbumped, which means her life? Has just gotten a little bit more messed up. How so, you might ask? For one, she's been thrown into an ultra security prison ward, which isn't the nicest place to be. She appears on the Plane lying rather listlessly on a long wooden cot and looking far more worn than usual; the natural light of the area makes her squint and she shields her eyes until they can adjust.

At any rate, this is a pretty good opportunity to get some decent food that isn't bug-infested or growing on the wall, so Jolyne stands up... and almost immediately has to grab onto the cot for support.]

The upside, at least no one's gonna miss me while I'm here. [She pushes away from the cot and takes a few shaky steps.] ...The downside? At this rate I'm never gonna find that thing. [Mutter mutter]

Actually, this is one of my better ones.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'd be amused to see the worst, then.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to stop on by if I ever get skewered or turned inside out, then.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You're too kind! What happened to you? Or do you do this for fun regularly?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uh, no. The ultra security punishment ward isn't exactly my idea of a good time.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Who did you irritate? 'Ultra,' really now.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Smirk] All the right people, apparently~

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

"Just as planned!" Have they been feeding you?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

It was, actually. But if you've ever watched cheesy prison shows or movies? That's about the extent of the food you get. Only much more disgusting.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Last time I was in prison, I... no, actually, it was Gallifrey, wasn't it? Didn't feed me for most of it. Couldn't talk the Lady President into getting me any of my favourite Earth foods, either. Cruel woman. Though that was more of a holding cell than a prison...

And in that case, you should probably muster your strength to get a snack or two. Though I'm sure you've already decided that.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Huh. Somehow hearing you've been in prison too doesn't surprise me that much.

Yeah, that's what I figured I'd come here for once in a while. If I do it too much, the guards might get suspicious, though. And I need to stay where I am for a while, so I can live with it for now.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Every villain has an off-day or two and gets caught, I suppose.

Unless you happen to be very good at acting, I suppose so. What could they do to you if they were suspicious, though? No way to stop you coming here.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

For a villain, you're pretty... tolerable?

Hmm... Come to think of it, I just might have a way around it afterall... as for what they might do, there's bound to be some level above 'ultra security.' GD street's pretty brutal.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

In my opinion, it's the heroes that end up ridiculously annoying. Always preaching morality - absolutely irritating.

A way out? Do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Huh. I can't say anyone I know has acted like that. Of course, we all do live in a prison, so.

Oh, basically just unwinding part of my body while the guards are around. Unless they're stand users too... eh, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're anti-heroes! [a shrug]

Hold up a moment, I think you just mentioned unwinding part of your body and the phrase 'stand users,' which is unfamiliar to me. Do I get an explaination?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Have a shrug in return.] Oh. Right, yeah. That might help. Kinda hard to explain without actually showing you, but- ...well, you said you were an alien, so maybe you would be able to see it afterall. Hmm... Well, worth a shot, I guess.

[And with that, she holds her hands apart as if playing cat's cradle, and it certainly *does* seem like she is... with the exception of the string involved being an extension of her fingers and looping itself up and over what remains of her hands of its own accord - and a rather fibrous hole forming on the backs of her hands.] Like this, only on a larger scale. The stand user bit involves her. [Here, one end of the string loops outward and forms into the shape of an arrow. It points at a humanoid form (http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp341/lynxian/00.jpg) which appears hovering just behind Jolyne.]

[he raises both his eyebrows as he watches, seeking out some understanding of the how of it, for at the hearts of him he's a scientist]

That's a very interesting trick.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[The strings reform themselves into her fingers, and her hands return to normal.]

Yeah. It definitely comes in handy.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

That's some very advanced - psychically controlled? - molecular manipulation. Particularly as it uses your own substance, and humanoids tend to be difficult species to work with.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Uh. I guess so? Different stands have different abilities, so I'm not really sure what it is. Hermes can duplicate objects, Weather can control well, the weather... [Shrug] I wasn't born with mine, like Weather or my dad.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[he frowns a bit at 'weather,' but, he, he's a Time Lord. He has heard worse names]

How did you acquire it?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

It has something to do with this rock inside a necklace my dad sent me. He never got around to explaining about it, though.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you have to be wearing the necklace for it to work?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] The sucker practically ripped my finger open, but I basically haven't seen it since.
