JAKE, mate!

What is the fucking story?! I'll tell you something - I'm bored, man. And I don't approve of this current boredness. Anything interesting to tell us? How's the past few months been treating you?

We haven't really talked for a fuck-long time, so I just want you to know that I'm living with Neil and his sister now. Got kicked out. Long story!

Will.

((ooc - does Will know about Jake being in prison?))

Will

Good to hear from you, man! Of course you're bored, you're at school, that's what it's all about. Should have got out of it, like me. How've you been, other than bored?

But I'll tell you something from someone older and wiser, Archer. You think school is boring, you should try what I've been doing the last year. Or actually, you shouldn't. It's not fun.

Last few months have been okay. Just camping out at my mum's and a bunch of other places, because I'm broke.

You got kicked out? What did you do, you stupid prick? But seriously, that's fucked up. At least you have somewhere good to stay though, I suppose. What's his sister like? Do I know her?

[ooc - i assume so, unless it was really hush-hush? but i thought that even if it wasn't big news, it'd have been gossip and will would've eventually heard...unless you'd prefer otherwise!]

Jake,

Fuck that, I get free breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday and I get a bed to kip in. I've been alright, you know how it is, partying a bit and shit like that. Not much has happened this year, bit of a downbuzz. Bet I can change that, though!

If you were so wise you wouldn't have been doing what you was were doing last year. I wouldn't have gotten caught.

See? Should've stayed in school while you could've, mate, had somewhere to stay for longer, had things a bit easier. You were fucking asking to be broke.

I didn't do noth anything! Mum's new bloke is the one who's the prick, she said I had to be nice to him and clean up my act or I was out. What the fuck else was I supposed to do? And I went to my dad's, but that didn't turn out ok so I just turned up and Neil's and I got to kip on the sofa. I don't know man, her name's Jade? She's pretty hot. And she's great. She's really great. I'd be on the streets or back at my stepdad's if it weren't for her.

Will.

((ooc - no, I assumed so too. Just wondered when he asked how Jake had been doing the last few months, but I'm guessing he meant since Jake got out, right?))

Will,

Yeah, you've got it cushy. Spoilt brats really, you lot. Just don't change it by fucking someone's face up - I know what you're like.

Yeah whatever. Tell me that when you've actually tried it and not got caught. I was doing well until they got onto me - making a lot of cash. And then they tried to say I'd been trying to hurt muggles by enchanting muggle stuff. I mean, what the fuck? My family are muggles. Fucking idiots.

And you couldn't just fake it? No, sorry, course you couldn't, this is you. You think you wouldn't get caught at shit if you can't learn to hide stuff? You'd get caught in about a day. What's the bloke like though? How come you hate him?

Don't think I know her. How old is she? And how fit?

Jake

[William Archer]

Jake,

Haven't laid a fucking finger on anyone in ages. Not in that way. I've been in detention too many fucking times for hitting someone, it's getting old, you know?

Sucks to be you, man.

I hate him because he's a twat. I don't know, it's like he thinks he's our dad or something. And he thinks he's fucking great because he works in the Ministry and my mum loves him 'cause he has all this nice shit like fancy rugs and stuff. And he acts like he knows me, like he says this shit to me and he's like "I know you" and I'm like, no, no you don't. And he acts like he knows my sister. No cunt knows my sister. I don't even know my sister. He acts like she's practically his daughter. And like I need to be gotten rid of. And he got rid of me. I just can't stand him.

I think she's like twenty-two? She's pretty fit, but don't go trying anything because she's Neil's sister and she's my mate and...fuck, she's practically my sister. She's sound.

Will.

[Jake Gullane]

Will,

Well, that's good. Yeah, detentions get old. Gets to the point where it's not worth it any more.

So you've been laying fingers on people in other ways then? Female people at a random guess.

That blows. But at least he has money, so you can scab off him, right? Or you could. I'm guessing you can't really now. Glad you got out of there instead of killing him or something shit though. Did you at least take one of the fancy rugs with you? You can sell those things for a bomb, you know.

Okay okay, point taken. She must be sound if she puts up with you and Neil, fucking hell.

Jake
