>Look for guards
You look up and down what you can see of the hallway. There's not a single guard in sight. Which is odd, but not like you're complaining.
>See if there's shit in the beds. If possible, stack the mattresses on top of the bench.
There's nothing in the beds, other than pristine white sheets and a fluffy white pillow on each. Your back ache from lying sleeping on the floor becomes more annoying as you continue to look at them.
Shrugging it off, you get to work, dragging the mattresses out of the bunks and stacking them onto the bench. It isn't wide enough to hold them well, but you drag it a little bit outward so you can lay the mattresses in the center.
>Check the bathroom, and use it if you need to.
You're suddenly overcome by the inexplicable urge to take a shit. You run to the bathroom and take a seat, emptying your bowels to your heart's content. As you do so, you take a look around. It's very empty, there's not even a sink to wash your hands in. Fortunately, there is a roll of toilet paper, which you promptly use before flushing it down the toilet.
>Tear off the sleeves on your uniform.
>Fashion sleeves into a makeshift bandanna.
Well, your head does feel empty without your hat, but you don't think a bandanna would replace it quite well. Besides, you really don't think you'd be able to pull off that look.
>Check under the bed.
You bend over to look beneath the bed. There's absolutely nothing of use down there that you can tell.

>Test the durability of the bars with a kick or two.
You kick at the bars. It does nothing. You kick a bit harder. You stub your toe.
>Make a bunch of hollering noises to attract a guard's attention.
You hold your foot and hop around in pain, yowling a string of curses at the top of your lungs. Not magical curses, mind you, swearing ones. Sure enough, a guard comes along, and bangs on the bars with a nightstick to get your attention.
"Shut the fuck up, you little shit! You're lucky we don't burn your kind anymore, or you wouldn't be alive to holler around like you are!"
That shuts you up. You give him a glare, but he just laughs and walks away. He knows you can't do anything to him.
>Analyse the guard that shows up, check for strengths and weaknesses.
He looks pretty strong, much stronger than you. He also seems very prone to anger, and as he has been so kind as to let you know, he hates witches. Also, he's very ignorant, as you distinctly remember being burned. Not to death, of course, but it was certainly very painful.
>Examine the toilet. How is it built? What kind of toilet is it?
Well, you're no expert on toilets, but it looks just like any other toilet you've seen. Nothing really special about it.
> Check myself to see if I've got anything on me or if I'm a zombie.
You pat yourself down, checking for anything that might've been placed on you. Your jumpsuit has no pockets, and there isn't anything on your skin. For all you know, they might've planted a chip in you, but that's unlikely, and if you do manage to escape you can get rid of it easily.
You're about 98% certain you're not a zombie.
>Examine mind: (Check: Age, Sex, Gender, Physical Prowess, Skills, Hobbies, Talents, Employment History, etc. [Basically any experience or information we might be able to use to help us get out of this])
AGE: 19
SEX: Male
GENDER: Male
PHYSICAL PROWESS: Average
SKILLS/TALENTS: Oil magic, stealth, attunement to the Darkness
HOBBIES: Mischief, magic, public art
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY: Mostly a bunch of odd jobs, several of which you're pretty sure were actually black market operations. Ah well, it's hard to find an honest job when most employers want to kill you.
OTHER: You don't really know much about this prison, as you had honestly believed you'd never end up here, especially for a reason as petty as the one they gave. You know it's run by some magical organization, which is either employed by the city or runs it behind the scenes. You're fairly certain there's something here that blocks out dark magic, or else they wouldn't be keeping witches here.

Hopefully the guard will come near the bars so I can use my now taken off shirt to strangle him.

Maid of Time
>I start speaking to myself.
"What?" you ask, incredulously. "An escape route? Quick, tell me!"
The guard perks up at this, and you quickly begin to unzip your shirt. Unfortunately, as it turns out, it's attached to your pants. Not letting this deter you, you begin to climb out of them. Unfortunately, the guard comes back as you're still struggling with them.
"Oh what the fuck? Put your pants back on!"
You look up at him. He's backing away slowly, but he's not near enough to strangle him through the bars. Damn. It was such a good plan, too. Dejected, you put your jumpsuit back on as he continues backing away, unnerved.
>Test your theory by attempting to create a portal to Hell or this universe's equivalent thereof.
Hell? The hell is that?
The existence of an afterlife has been much debated among scholars and religious leaders alike. While we know that there are gods, there is really no way to be certain whether there exists a life after death. However, even if there was one, you certainly wouldn't be able to make a portal to it. And even if you could, why would you even want to? A realm of eternal death and damnation doesn't sound like much fun to you. Especially with all the fire and brimstone. Have you mentioned you hate fire?
>Examine Mind (again) (Check: What is Oil Magic?)
Your own special brand of magic. Magicians who are born with magical powers each have their own kind of magic, some of which can be very unconventional or downright useless. You were born with power over the element of oil. It's not one of the traditional elements, but you make it work. And since the Darkness enhances your natural powers, you are even able to turn your entire body into oil and create it out of nothing.
>Try looking out the window, if it's too high, try getting on the top bunk to accomplish this.
You did stack the mattresses on top of the bench earlier, which gives you enough height to reach it with your hands, but not to see through it. As such, you climb onto the top bunk to try and get yourself a better view.
>Attempt to look outside the window from the top bunk bed. If possible, check the following: weather conditions, approximate time of day/night, and general geography and/or architecture (layout of the land).
From what you can see, it is a bright, clear sky. A thousand stars are shining, and a massive, oversized moon rises behind the Skyscraper of Remembrance. You can't see the other two moons from your angle, but you're sure they're out there somewhere. They usually are, though they're sometimes hidden by the big one.
Apart from the Skyscraper, there isn't much to see. You spot the prison yard just outside, and behind its tall fence lies the rest of the city, bustling with light and activity as always. There's a reason they call Remembrance the city that never sleeps.
What do you do?

Hey, you did say that the Player Character is mischievous.

You lift your hand and try to channel the Darkness to bend to your will. Nothing happens.
>Defy your captors and do everything within your power to make your cell as dirty and disorganized as possible.

You begin to wonder why it took you so long to think of this. You take a handful of toilet paper, dunk it in the toilet, then toss it right outside your cell. You then proceed to throw the pillows and sheets across the room. You take the rest of the toilet paper and toss it around, leaving streams of tp everywhere. It's not much, but it's a start.
The guard comes back, along with another guard. This second one isn't as physically built as the first, and doesn't seem as angry. In fact, he even looks kinda sorry for the woman he's dragging along with the other guy.
She looks about 21, and has dark grey skin like yours. Her white hair is quite unruly, sticking out all over the place even as it flows over her shoulders. The smaller guard unlocks the bars to let her in. The larger one opens his mouth to say something, but the other one shushes him and pushes the woman inside before locking the bars up again.
The woman raises an eyebrow at the mess, giving you a quizzical look with her pale white eyes. She crosses her arms and asks, "So... What are you in for?"
What had that guy arrested you for? Tracking oil through the streets or something? Yeah, that was it. Tracking oil. Gods, what a stupid reason. You can't tell her that. You've got to impress your new inmate. Tell some outlandish story about nefarious crimes and malicious schemes.
Or you could just tell the truth. That supervillain stuff isn't really your thing, after all.

"I accidentally-" Wait. No. What? Didn't you already mention you hate fire? If you're gonna tell a lie, it's going to be fire-free.

"I was tracking oil through the streets."
She nods, as if an offense like that is pretty typical.
> Ask what she did to get in here and what she can do magically.
"And what about you? What are you in here for? And what kind of powers do you have?"
The woman smirks. "I am a makeup magician. I can change the appearance of anyone I want, even as far as to make them unrecognizable."
"So what'd you do to get in?"
"Same thing as always, really. I prowl the city giving people bad makeovers."
"Really?"
"Really."
"They put you in jail for that?"
She shrugs. "You know the people in this city. They'll search for any reason whatsoever to get rid of a witch."
She crosses her arms and looks around disapprovingly at the mess you made. "So we gonna bust out of here or what?"

The last thing you remember is a burning, searing pain. You feel perfectly fine now though, apart from the grogginess and confusion that usually comes with waking up in an uncomfortable, unfamiliar place. Rubbing the sleep out of your eyes, you pick yourself off the white steel floor and observe your surroundings.
On the wall facing you is a large white bench, with a window high above. It's just high enough that you can't reach it while standing on the bench, and just small enough that you'd get stuck if you tried to get through it. Also, it's barred, but that's to be expected.
Against the wall to your right is a pair of white bunk beds. Naturally, whoever dumped you in here didn't even have the decency to lay you in one of them. To your left is a single door, which upon opening it, leads to a tiny room with a single, surprisingly clean toilet.
As you turn to face the last wall, you are not at all surprised to discover that it is not a wall at all, but a series of white steel bars, blocking the way into a large hallway, and facing two empty cells identical to yours.
Now that you have confirmed that you are exactly where you suspected you were, you are quick to notice that every single thing in this place is white. The only speck of non-white you can see is the very, very light grey stripes on your jumpsuit and the very, very dark grey shade of your skin. However, that little detail is unlikely to do you any good.
What do you do?
