I'm setting the stage for the final Menagerie shenanigans.

[ORIGINAL POV]

Sitting in the communal cell, a.k.a. the only cell on the entire island, I am left alone by the other criminals who share it with me.

When I arrived, a big, fat guy with a pig's nose came up to me with all that talk about being the big guy in prison and how he was going to make me his bitch. I could have dealt with him without any problem, but it was more fun to offer cigarettes and beer to the other prisoners who beat him.

The guy almost died.

I felt so sorry that I cured him using a senzu bean and now he acts as my bodyguard.

'In prison you don't fuck with people who can conjure up cigarettes and drinks.' I thought to myself enjoying the silence.

...

Until I get bored within 10 minutes.

'Waiting for this trial without doing anything is a pain... to pass it I could create a television and watch some anime -.'

"Attention ladies!" Exclaims a female voice entering the cell room. "I need to talk to the blonde human, so the rest of the trash goes to the back of the room."

The prisoners got up and moved around, grumbling and complaining while I stared in surprise at who had entered.

"Did you miss me boss?" Asked Amber in her original appearance, but dressed as a guard and with a fake fox tail on her back.

I approached the cell door smiling and answered.

"My longing for you must have been less intense than your hangover."

In response, Amber hissed as if I had touched an open wound.

"Fuck you, bratt." She grumbled pretending to be offended. "But seriously now, why haven't you left yet?"

"I think I can use this judgment to my advantage." I responded in a whisper so that the other prisoners couldn't hear me.

"What are you talking about brat?" Amber asked, also whispering.

"I know I'm innocent and I didn't do anything wrong."

"If half of what Church told me is true, Audra would agree that you did a lot of rights."

"A gentleman does not boast of his achievements." I responded in a sophisticated tone

"Oh Damn." Amber swore. "You really are Port's student."

"If I prove my innocence in this trial in front of everyone, I will improve Menagerie's human-faunus relations."

"And take credibility away from White Fang." Added Audra.

"White fang?" I questioned confused.

"Don't you know why you were arrested?" Amber asked suspiciously.

...

"I knew I was forgetting something."

BANG!

A metallic thud echoed through the room.

"How are you, boss?" asked the pig Faunus.

"Relax, the jailer just slipped and hit her forehead on the cell."

Amber sighs tiredly, but immediately looks up with an irritated expression.

"Whatever the accusation is, it must have to do with the White Fang attack on your jet." Amber said in a didactic tone.
