Your trials were swift, and you were all easily convicted for crimes you never committed. Despite your pleas, the Law would not listen, only condemnation awaited you.

Welcome to Green Dolphin Street Prison. An offshore facility for the best security possible, this is a hive of crooks and villains put away for the greater good of society. Your wings and horns sealed, if any, thanks to the magic field or rings, you have been rendered helpless.

Now, you wallow amongst them, and whether or not you have any hope of escape is up to you. Then again. there is reason enough to try. Earning your own freedom aside, why have you even come here? Was it a cruel turn of fate, or a plot?

Oh dear.

It so happens that you're not feeling very well right now because the guards might have seen you having fun with yourself last night.

Anyway, welcome to prison. You're all in your cells right now, along the same cellblock. Vexillia and Helga share their cell, and opposite them is Delia and Silverleaf. The cell to V and H's right has Rickety Grimes and Brendak.

The guards open the doors for you. Looks like it's time for another day in prison.
