[ It's the final day. Sector 0 is all that remains. Where will you go from here? What will you do, now that your sentence has finished? ]

Video – 9 am

I assume it doesn't need to be said, but everyone get yourselves and anything you want to hang onto to Sector 0.

Anyone need help with anything, let me know.


Action – open

He spends the morning in Sector 2, picking up a few bits they might need in MAHR and then checking for anyone he needs to shoo out of the sector. He pauses to gaze at the Defence Force Headquarters where he spent so much of his time until the last few weeks, and the Library, where Ianto spent so much of his. A whole lot of memories there and who knows if they'll ever return.

The early afternoon is Sector 3, where he checks in briefly on the clinic, visits the hot springs for memory's sake, and then heads for the Bull's Eye store, where he starts loading sleeping bags and other equipment onto trolleys and shuttling them through to Sector 0.

Sector 4 is more personal. He's lived here the whole eight months he's been here, and built up a lot of memories. Bean Crushers, where he gets the last perfectly brewed coffee from his pet bot Taylor. The Daffodil Dive, with the conflicting emotions it invokes. The little row of restaurants called Little Earth where he and Ianto have eaten so many meals. Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium, a more recent venture but one he's put of effort a lot into; he bags up a few of his favourite items to take with him, just in case. And then there's the apartment he's shared with Ianto all this time, chock full of memories, and quite a few little mementoes he's determined not to leave behind, things like the little book of photos Ianto gave him at 'Christmas', and the box of photos he'd lost in the Hub that the wardens had thoughtfully recreated for him.

Come evening, he can be found in Sector 0, mentally checking people off to make sure everyone's there, and wandering around to see if anyone needs a hand setting up.

[ Video ]
[He's cutting it close.

He knows how to pack a bag and go, that's not a problem. But a whole lot of people he knows and loves just so happen to live in Sector 3. It's making him anxious.

Worse, whatever animal-vibe-instinct dragons have going on sent his little pet bolting as soon as they stepped outside for a potty break.]

If anyone needs help moving to Sector 0, let me know.

Also, if you've seen my dragon, she's run away. I really need to find her.

[ Action ]

[Before the deadline, Nico can be found desperately searching all around Sector 3 for an elusive little dragon. That dragon is special, and he can't leave without her.]

[There's some creepy static flickering across the screen, although frankly Kanji looks more curious than freaked out. He's got a good track record when it comes to keeping his shit together in haunted houses.]

Hey whatda ghosts look like man? 'Cause I keep seein' some weird shit around.

[ EVENT INFO ]

[Here's Kanji and he's unmistakably in clothes. It takes a close look to figure out they're handmade and hey, they're a little rushed but it was a clothes emergency and he needed 'em, dammit!]

Hey, if anybody needs clothes today lemme know. Or stop by the Home Ec room at the Education Center.

Video
[Jack comes on the screen in front of the store previously known as the Plush Rump and now proudly sporting a brand new sign stating Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium.]

So. I took this place over a while ago and I was intending to have a great big grand opening day, but what with one bit of drama and another I haven't got as far with the renovations as I'd like to.

So instead I'd like to invite you to come and help me do the place up! I've found some paint and fabrics and things, but a little extra manpower wouldn't hurt, and I could use some people to help set out the stock as well. Any helpers grateful received!

Action
He'll be at the store all day, working on getting it set up.

[Sarah smiles into the camera.]

Hello...

Uh... Nico and I are inviting all the teenagers to a game night on day 420. No! Day 421. Sorry. The days are messed up. So day 421 is game night. In the clocktower estates. Room [insert room here]. We'll have lots of board games, but if there's something you really like, please bring it. There will be food and drinks.

It should be lots of fun!

[She gives one more smile and waves before clicking off the feed.]

(OOC: Event Info)

[EVENT INFO]

Over the last twenty years there have been good times and there have been bad times. This is not one of the good times. Things were quite heady for a while in the early days, what with the thrill of exploring a new relationship with Ianto and Spike, and then of overthrowing the wardens and finding their real bodies again – and getting rid of the damn sex bands once and for all. But they still couldn't escape, and that meant he was potentially here literally forever, with no end ever in sight. Nothing new to see, no new people, nothing changing ever. Not even Ianto, since Spike turned him (which, obviously, is a good thing, but still an increasingly stagnant one).

Is it any wonder his periods of rebellion from the confines of that relationship – as one of the few things he can actually change here – are getting more and more frequent? This latest break is the strongest and longest yet, and it's got to the point where he and Ianto aren't even speaking to each other. Thank goodness there are at least still some people who'll put up with him!

Open

He's let his routine slide somewhat over the years. What's the point in keeping fit and alert when a) it's all virtual and b) there's no hope of ever getting out of here? It's not like he really gets out of shape anyway. So today you're less likely to find him swimming and patrolling than in a coffee shop or a bar drinking away the hours. Or perhaps in the spa, enjoying the temporary comfort of a hot tub? Your chances of finding him aggressively cheerful and flirty are about even with those of finding him morose and depressed. They're both his ways of coping.

Physically, there are a couple more grey hairs, a couple more laugh lines (because he still laughs, even if it's more dryly than before), but otherwise he hasn't changed. He still wears the same outfit, that's never going to change.

For Kirk

Things aren't so bad when he has Kirk to wake up next to. Any warm body is better than none, and Kirk's is a darned sight better than most, even twenty years on.

Kirk's still asleep, face hidden against his shoulder, so he can't immediately see that the Kirk he's woken up with is twenty years younger than the one he went to bed with. He smiles as he brushes affectionate lips over the sandy hair. "Morning, gorgeous."

(( OOC: EVENT INFO)

[ This is Aidan's 263rd day in prison, not that he keeps count more than uh, nine months or somethin'. Whether it's nine months or somethin' or exactly 263 days, it's a long time to be in one place when you don't want to be and even more so, it makes you realise just how much has changed. With you, with the people around you, with the place. He arrived in a different prison altogether, four years younger, in love with someone who hasn't been here in forever, fingers intact and not a scar on his body.

He has scars now. He's lost friends, loved ones, body parts, himself. Things keep changing around him, keep changing him and today is the perfect kind of dreary, rainy day where you feel like maybe it's time you change something for once. Maybe he could shave, or get his hair cut. Yeah, those are good ideas. Maybe he could even get a dog, he's wanted one forever but never took the plunge and what's the harm if the dog is digital? He could get a dog.

He could get a tattoo.

That last part nags at him, won't let go with how perfect it is. He has scars he never wanted and what better way to combat that but put some art on his already ruined skin? Something nice, something personal, a statement that he still knows who he is after all this time. Yes, a tattoo. The question is, of course, what kind? Grabbing a book at the library, Aidan settles down at Bean Crushers with a cup of coffee and a whole lot of indecision. Help? Maybe come with him when he goes to actually do it, because he absolutely will? ]

[VIDEO]

Hey, everyone! Just a reminder that cheerleading practice is today! We're looking for more people to join the squad, so I hope to see you guys there, okay?

=====

[ACTION]

[Kitty was over at the athletic complex in the outdoor fields, gathering things they might need, and dressed in the squad uniform. She was hoping Kanji would get here, as she was likely going to ask him to co-captain with her now that Euphie was gone, and she was also hoping they'd just get more people to show up in general...]

[Voice]

[It's the day. It's the day! She's been working up to this since she (was seeded the idea) landed here with her heels on the ground and her heart set on love. But of course, finding your true love is far from easy and it is kind of slim pickings in jail but that's still one large step up from Hell. So Satan's daughter Jezebel has deemed today the right time to get the ball moving so she can find Mr or Mrs Right already.

The feed starts with Jezebel looking up at the camera, flashing her good angle before a toothy little grin as she brings the lens down level. She's braided her hair around her two protruding horns and even has a little dab of lipgloss on. Her apartment still isn't quite right but one of the walls behind her already has a framed picture of a kitten on it and a doily on the couch armrest.]

Hi! I'm um, Jezebel.

I was just wanting to tell you guys that today, well - tonight Lyrical's going to be a total dating hotspot for singles! So if you're looking for love you should head on down there, where there'll be some music and singing. And drinks, I guess. So you should go! Love doesn't wait, neither does lust-- whatever you're looking for... Lyrical's a must~ ♫

If you're not single well, I can't stop you from coming either if you want to for support. Or to build new polyamourous relationships. That's cool too.

See you there! [♥]

[Action; LYRICAL/ MINGLE]

[So you heard the post and you decided to drop by Lyrical, the karaoke bar, on a whim or to witness the curious spectacle. That or you just happened to walk by on the same day Satan's little daughter Jezebel's declared to be her big first chance at finding love in this tiny little wading pool under the sea. She's put up a few glittery banners and has tried to organize some sort of food set up (with as much booze as she could muster) but she's not sure how to really run this thing being wholly devoid of experience. But she's still holding out in hopes someone will show up to join her.

Otherwise it'll be a lot of lonely demon girl sitting alone. You wouldn't do that to her, would you?]

(( OOC: Happy Halloween - sort of! EVENT INFO ))

[Lyle is seated in one of the classrooms at the academy when he posts the message]

For those that don't know, my name is Lyle Dylandy. So I'm sure that most people here are aware that Euphemia is no longer here. I know that she will be missed by many.

For those who don't know, one of the things she did was to create Marina Academy. This is an educational experience designed to offer a wide range of academic options for those here.

At least for the time being, I have asked to take over running the academy. I'd be happy to answer questions that students and teachers may have.

Marina Academy is also looking for new teachers and students. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me as well.

Private to Teachers and Staff
So I think we should have a meeting. Let me know if Day 399 is too early.

[ooc: There have been some changes made to marinaacademy page. Current classes should be up to date. New sections have been added with a schedule, a faculty page, and a student page where students can share classes they are taking (completely optional and mainly for CR purposes). Enjoy!]

[Kanji's usually so grumpy or disoriented or distracted by cute stuff it's kind of easy to forget he's a pretty scary kid when he wants to be. Like now, for example. He looks pissed and ready to go start some shit with the Wardens and in the background of the video it looks like he just smashed his coffee table into pieces. This place has taken a lot of his friends away lately.]

Nathan'a gone, too. I called to check 'cause of how Euphie's... Anyway he ain't here no more.

[ There is Suzaku. There is Suzaku with his eyes as though carved from stone.

He opens his mouth to say that Euphie is no longer in the Dome, which means that she is gone back to her death and what comes out? ]

How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? Euphie! Gone! ... for good...

[ ... Two bright blotches appear on Suzaku's cheeks because WHAT IS THIS EVEN and how can any of it be said to be for good, and he cuts the transmission. ]

[ It is still a good morning. It's still day 396 and the weather is clear and sunny. A beautiful day, all things considered! So beautiful you may feel the urge to break into song or at least compose a witty limerick.

There is no morning greeting today. Just a jaunty tune ]
