MarinaNova Asylum

Good morning, inmates. Today is day [ 179 ] of the first generation. The weather scheduled for today is [ warm with scattered clouds ].

The following inmates have been found guilty of breaking the [ facility rules ]. Full details of their punishment will be transmitted to their devices shortly.

Cain: Hacking.

There are currently [ no ] pending requests.

Have a nice day and good luck with your continued rehabilitation.

(OOC: Kiosk requests will be handled by Conscienti unless otherwise requested! )

( backdated to early morning; action )

[ Gamzee found himself fiddling with the communicator. He was chill as chill could possibly be, having said goodbye to the ache in his head and body after a nap and sopor.

He flicks on the communicator, kind of boredly, and you get a nice (dim) view of Gamzee's face. (He's smiling.) ]

Hey, my brothers and sisters. A motherfucker's got himself wonderin', and, uh... like, how even do you get yourself down to a place to be callin' home? I mean, this place ain't that bad, but. [ He makes odd motions around himself, like he's gesturing to the area around him. You can see shelves behind him. He's obviously in a store. ]

It's kind of not that nice, I guess what I'm sayin' is I'm wonderin' where you get a little hive to stay at? This one's pretty nice. But it ain't mine, it is. Are you even allowed to grab yourself places? Don't even fuckin' know jack shit about this prison-called place, haha.

[On a whim that became a want she pointedly voiced, Saber and Zelgadis are hanging out at the stables in Sector 1; the former eagerly getting in all the riding she can, guiding her mount with a visibly skilled hand and mutual ease through the jumps and obstacles or just galloping around without care-- however interesting the course is, nothing beats running-- until the time limit brings her back into the stall, and she feeds and brushes the horse down while waiting to be allowed to take another one out for a repeat.

The latter, hooded as usual, is doing a whole lot of nothing in comparison, notably keeping his distance from any of the horses and leaning against a far fence post while he simply watches the girl run about for the afternoon]


[[ooc:dual post for Saber and Zel; specify who you want, or we'll tag as we like!]]

[His frequency remains on even after his call and either he doesn't seem to notice or just doesn't care. He's not really thinking about the fact people can and will hear him. They didn’t listen to him when he talked to himself back home after all. To be perfectly honest he’s not really expecting anyone to answer him either. It’s been awhile since he just spoke his thoughts out loud, sometimes he just can't care enough to keep it all inside or to worry about who hears him. In the distance you can hear the clock tower chiming from wherever he is. You get the impression that it’s somewhere high.]

This place is frustrating… but I can’t sleep no matter where I go. These thoughts keep racing in my head, keeping me awake at night.

[Someone tried to stay in sector 5 away from the more populated areas as a way to protect people from himself as well as to have privacy. Some may have seen him trying to sleep on a pew in the nondenominational prayer facility or at least hanging around there. Needless to say what stuff he had started to gather was now gone.]

[ Tifa is Distraught with a capital D. She looks upset, worried... On top of the disorientation and confusion from being switched to a different facility so quickly after being brought to a place she didn't understand in the first place, she can't find Cloud. She can't get in touch with him, she hasn't seen him... She fears that he's gone, or something happened to him. ]

Has -- Does anyone know Cloud Strife? Has anyone seen him? I haven't been able to find him, and I'm not able to get in touch with him... I'm afraid something may have happened. Can someone help me? When people leave the dome, what happens to them? Do they go home? Do they leave anything behind telling us where someone has gone?

[ She's a little more frantic as each word passes her lips. ]

Please, if you could... I need to be sure he's alright.

[You're in a new prison and free!

Well, free to look around anyway. Maybe you'll pick your pet up from the pet cafe or search the pile for your personal items before someone else gets to them first. You could be inspecting the barrier around sector six. Did you just hear something scratching it from the other side? Maybe you want to find the nearest clothing store and upgrade from prisoner-chic to something a little more you. Maybe you appeared somewhere awkward and could use a hand with that. It could be you're just wandering around, familiarizing yourself with the new space.

Whatever it is, you're welcome to do it here.]

[Look up! You'll notice a floating island within the dome, and if you think those things attached to it are giant loud speakers, you'd be right. In fact, they're going to go off right about...]

Welcome to your new DOMEicile. [Pause for laughter.]

Today is Day 1 of the first generation of Marina Nova, but since that might cause some of you to do painful math exercises in those tiny brains of yours, I've decided to call it Day 174. The day we've created for you is temperate and sunny. Now, we have a lot to cover, so do listen up. I don't like to repeat myself, but this time I will make an exception. I am Veridical, one of your new wardens, and this is Conscienti, the other one.

[The voice changes. It's still artificial, but this one is less fluid than the other.]

Greetings, inmates. You have been transferred here from [ Marina Asylum ] due to the closing of the facility. Please do not be alarmed.

You may find your personal effects in a brown paper bag next to you. The standard-issue uniform [which is a bright orange jumpsuit with your name printed on it] is not equipped with pockets. Additional personal items have been brought over and can be found in [ Sector 0 ]. Please note that items that are deemed harmful have been confiscated. [This means weapons even if you had them in Marina.] Pets have been brought over and may be reclaimed in [ the Pet Café in Sector 1 ]. The Kiosk is open for additional questions and requests. We value your input.

Housing is available in [ Sectors 2, 3 and 4 ] and you are welcome to claim living quarters in any of these areas. Guide bots are stationed at each sector entrance and may be approached for a basic tour of your new home. Should you prefer to explore on your own, you can access [ the Marina Nova map ] through the menu on your communicator.

[Veridical chimes in again.] You also saw the rules in there. Or you didn't. Read them or not. You're still responsible for them. Some are the same as what you're used to and some aren't. New prison. New handbook. You're welcome to complain. I have been programmed with a wide range of dealing with nonsense. We did give you a little gift though. All your previous punishments have been wiped out. If you were wearing one of those darling little barrier collars or had an extra dose of power reduction it's gone. For now. We did keep your sex licenses in tact. That's why some of you are wearing those blue wrist bands. You're welcome.

[Conscienti continues without hesitation.] Your safety is important to us. All transfers have therefor been fitted with a temporary ankle monitor that restricts any abilities you may have which are deemed too dangerous for your initial integration period [powers, supernatural abilities, "normal humans" who can usually do things like make a wall crumble with a tap of their finger, etc.]. It will be automatically released [ at the end of the day ] unless there is reason to restrict your abilities further. Calm and orderly conduct will ensure your release. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Welcome to [ MarinaNova Asylum ]. We hope you enjoy your stay.

(OOC: And we're off! Feel free to respond via voice/video publicly or privately. Characters can also approach either Warden at the Kiosk — please specify if you'd like to talk to a specific Warden! Threadjacking is welcome to public remarks. You can also make your own posts or attack the dome-wide mingle!)
