Day 272 Open Dreams


[info]schway
[info]marinanova
Dream 1

[There's a gang of clowns approaching. They're more distorted than Terry remembers, with fangs and claws and various other nasty things. He doesn't let that deter him, charging into them and firing off a series of punches. One of them stops to engage him, but the others keep charging forward.]

Dream 2

[Terry and any unlucky companions will find themselves stuck in a relatively normal-looking high school. He's chosen a seat at a desk in the back, trying his best to pay attention despite the fact that he can hardly understand what his teacher is saying. As she talks, her words become less and less comprehensible. By the time she calls on him he can't make out a single word.

He looks around the room, searching for anyone who can help him.]

Where was the tattoo parlor when we were all in different bodies? That would have made things more exciting. [Not that she ever would have done that to M'gann.]

But seriously, who would let a robot tattoo them? Except that baseball guy with the butterfly. Does anyone even go to them to get their hair cut?

[And a pause.] I mean the enemy prison robots. Not, you know, android prisoners. [Did it get awkward?] Anyway... [Good way to end things.]

So...uh...is everybody back to their regularly scheduled bodies now?

I mean, not that it wasn't an...interesting change of pace around here, but that was a whole new level of weird. Even for this place.

[A small whimpering could be heard just off-screen. Zatanna glanced to one side and downward, the camera shaking a bit as she momentarily disappears out of view. Soon, it readjusts to find...the shadow of what looks like a little Siberian Husky laying in the shadows under the bed, head in his paws.]

Not to mention, Robin Jr.'s never been so confused in his life. I think his sense of smell went into overdrive yesterday. Poor thing.

DAY 269 — Morning Greeting


[info]ai_veridical
[info]marinanova
Today is Day 269 and you should all be back in your standard, boring organic—in most cases—bodies. We do hope you were able to learn something from the experience. Never let it be said we can't be creative when it comes to therapy and rehabilitation.

The museum is featuring a display on taxidermy for your enjoyment and further educational needs.

Charlotte Charles your request has been delivered to the sector 4 gardens. On a related note, those with bee allergies should take care in that area.


(OOC: Kiosk requests will be handled by Veridical unless otherwise requested! Mail submissions go here).

Day 268 [Open — voice & action] [Closed video & voice]


[info]kitty_has_claws
[info]marinanova
[It was the heaviness Kitty noticed first before her eyes were even open. At least waking up in Ton Phanan's body is a pretty good distraction against the pain she normally feels when she wakes up to find Reid went out to sleep on the couch again or even that thread of panic she tries to deny where she fears maybe he disappeared again instead. But this morning is all about figuring out what's going on and damage control. She starts by listening to the vague daypost.]

[Video | Private to Ton]
Stop touching my boobs. [The voice sounds and feels very wrong to her. She even clears her throat, but it doesn't change anything.]

[Voice | Private to Reid]
Hey. We have a situation. [She keeps her voice low since he's likely in the next room. She really wishes these things would text suddenly.]

[And a little later...]

[Voice | Open to everyone]
You've probably already noticed something strange going on. I want to get a head count here. Who is affected? Who isn't? Anyone in danger with this? Let me know and we can get the force working on it.

Oh, and this isn't Ton.

[Action | Open]
[It takes awhile before she's ready to test the new body out elsewhere but she isn't going to stay cooped up all day either. There's bound to be some chaos and she needs to do what she can...without her powers. And why are his wrists too large for her claws?]

Day 268 — Body Swap Mingle


[info]marinanova_npc
[info]marinanova
[You know the phrase about waking up on the wrong side of the bed? Well, today you wake up exactly where you planned to, just not how you planned to. Taller, blonder, now with dangerous and unpredictable powers? So maybe the phrase about not feeling comfortable in your own skin applies more today. After all, it's not exactly your skin is it?]

(OOC: Use this mingle to run into people anywhere in the dome. Body swap info.)

[Zatanna appears on-screen with the flattest of flat looks. Somebody finally got around to checking out her mixed tape so generously provided by their Robot Overlords.]

Okay, I'm all for puns and everything, but really? Really?

[Here, she holds up the case and starts reading off a series of tittles.]

Black Magic Woman.
Witchcraft.
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.
You Can Do Magic.
I Put A Spell On You -- and the version from Hocus Pocus, no less.
Oh Oh, It's Magic.
Abracadabra.
Do You Believe In Magic?
This Magic Moment
Could it Be Magic?
Magic Stick
Them From "Harry Potter" ...I hate you, just so you know.
Puff the Magic Dragon--okay, now you're just reaching. That one isn't even about magic!

[She looks up again, and yes, her expression has yet to change.]

Not very subtle, are you?

Also, am I the only one who got the bonus Criminal and Jailhouse Rock too?

Day 257 — School Fair Mingle


[info]friendly_fire
[info]marinanova
[Welcome to the school fair brought to you by Euphemia and a lot of hard working volunteers. Things may seem a little more homemade and less polished and plentiful than they do during a warden-run celebration, but everything was done with a lot of heart. As you walk around you'll find:

Informational booth. There is a brightly-colored booth when you first come in adorned with school catalogs and multi-colored gift bags featuring pens, pencils, highlighters, notebooks, bookmarks, binders, and more. Euphie will be there much of the day enabling new students and teachers.

Booths for classes and activities. Teachers were all encouraged to have displays or games or just be there to talk about what they offer for however long they're willing. Leaders of organizations that exist or that they want to create can do the same. And if someone wants to make a kissing booth or something no one will stop them!

Food. They are set up in sector 0 with all the food carts hosting a variety of street foods, perfect for eating on the move. There are also tables set up with desserts including cake pops, carmel corn, and cookies-on-a-stick as well as coolers with non-alcoholic beverages.

Games. There's a duck pond where you pull out a rubber ducky and get a simple prize that corresponds to the number on it. There's also a ring toss and a target hitting game with a paint ball gun. Since it's a school fair there are also some learning games like a trivia challenge. Chess boards have also been set up for people to enjoy, including one giant chess board where you can use the giant pieces or your friends. You'll also find life-size Jenga blocks. Don't worry, they are a light weight material in case they collapse on you.

Giant Puzzle. In the morning there is a large-scale puzzle set up surrounded by paints and brushes. The puzzle is already assembled, but blank. Each piece is larger than your head. People are encouraged to paint on it until it has all been filled. That afternoon it will be broken up for people to reassemble.

Stage. There's a small stage with a variety of instruments lined up in hopes of people showing off various talents from singing, to playing music, to dancing, to reading poetry, or juggling. Whatever they might want to share!]

(OOC: Everyone is sooo welcome to get engaged! Do something fun, weird, dangerous with a booth or the stage or anything in your comments. Need some extra plotting?)

[info]marinanova
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

[info]marinanova
What do we know about the dimensional stabilizer? [Her words are definitely coming out a little tense. There's anger behind them. Of course it's anger masking other things, but let's just stay with the anger.]

These wardens can bring us here from anywhere and any time but they can't hold on to us? We just disappear whenever they want us to? Is that it? We stop being fun for them?

[Oliver Queen is gone. She noticed earlier when she tried calling to see if he'd maybe practice with her. No answer. No answer again. He wasn't her Green Arrow. Her mentor. But it still sucks.]

What are we waiting for? The right moment? When is that coming? Why don't we just attack the wardens with whatever we've got and see where we stand? What's the worst that can happen? They'll send dinosaurs at us? They'll mess with our minds. They'll lock us up? Hi, that already happened.

[With that she snaps off the video. She has a lot of angry walking to do. She'll be out.]

Hey, old-timers. Are the Wardens losing their touch, or did they just never have it? Something else going wrong just a few weeks after that whole other-prison debacle doesn't speak very highly to their management skills. Which I guess is encouraging.

Unrelated, anybody got any inspiring stories they wanna share?

250 - Fear Itself Mingle


[info]marinanova_npc
[info]marinanova
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

((OOC: Event information HERE. We ask the winners of the raffle to fill out a simple survey and then tag into the Vapor thread HERE! Happy mingling, Marinanites! ))

Day 247 - Sector 0 - Picture Day!


[info]marinanova_npc
[info]marinanova
[There are multiple peg boards set up in Sector 0 today—some tall, some short, some on wheels, some long, some magenta with glitter! But what do they all have in common? They are covered in pictures with familiar faces.

Maybe the face is many years younger and surrounded by family or maybe it's a shot taken in Marina (version 1 or 2!). Maybe it was a time when no cameras were present and yet here is the evidence of that moment in all it's candid glory.

You could have grabbed that really embarrassing or incriminating one and thought you were safe only to find out there were three duplicates! Sweet, horrific, sad, casual, posed, past, or present—the wardens are good at variety, so enjoy!]

(OOC: Plotting post for sharing pictures people might find on the boards.)

Awwwwwwh, man. What the hell--


[He starts fiddling with the device on his eye, wincing softly as he rubs his head. Looks like he's not going anywhere for a while. Muscles are stiff and he's not sure why, head is throbbing and he's as confused as anything.]

H-hey. Hey double of mine. Feel like I've been out a while, that date can't be right. Maybe bonked my head and-- Amnesia or something. Least I know who I am, right?

Whatever-- I'm gonna be down for a while as is, I just want to know what happened.

[As far as he knows he hasn't been gone, but he knows he's been unconscious, and that's a little bit disarming, especially since he ended up at the hospital. Anyone care to fill him in?]

[ There were blankets set out in the lush parks of the prison, and on top a feast was spread out. Fine china and chubby pots of tea, delicate cake trays filled with tarts, biscuits and sandwiches; yes, anything the hungry and weary prisoners could wish for was laid out for their convenience.

The sun was shining brightly and a playful breeze rustles the leaves of the trees. Surely a wonderful day for a tea party! ]

Hey. Terry McGinnis. It's been a while since I spoke up here, I think, but I've got an open-ended question.

Don't read too much into it. I'm not a super scientist or wizard or anything, so all you get for answering it is making both of us marginally less bored. But I could use a little less boredom. Sports and patrols and working out only do so much for a guy.

Anyway, here goes: Tell me about space where you're from. How many planets have people been to, what other species have you met? How long have you had faster-than-light travel?

Even if you're not from Earth. I wanna hear about alien's aliens too.

[After yesterday, Megan is not quite herself. She'd had to tell others in the therapy group she had been put in what she actually was. So there was really no point in hiding it anymore, was there? Those outside of her circle of friends already knew. How could she possibly keep it hidden if people she barely even knew knew her secret?]

Good morning, Marina. That was quite a day yesterday wasn't it. I'm sure we all said some things yesterday.

But there was something I revealed yesterday and I can't keep it hidden anymore. It isn't right.

[With that, her pale skin turns green, quite clear green]

My real name is M'gann M'orzz. I am a Martian. This is how I really look. I didn't want to deceive you anymore.

237 | Avoidance Group* Therapy Mingle


[info]mightbefun
[info]marinanova
(*Also known under the snappy alternative name "If I ignore my problems, maybe they'll go away" Group.)

[In the usually so quiet library where we lay our scene, things are a little less quiet and a little less library-like, given that today it's full of bots, a few tables with neat little trays full of assorted snacks, and - of course - therapy subjects in varying states of willingness.

The robots, true to form, don't bother anyone who doesn't try to leave. Those who do try will have their path brusquely cut off and their attention directed to a whiteboard at the far end of the room - it's mostly empty, with plenty of room for writing, except for one sentence in the middle of the board, written in red: "Admitting to one's problems opens doors." Is that an attempt at an inspirational message, or meant to be taken literally? We just don't know.

There's also a table just beneath the whiteboard with little stacks of cards with suggested discussion topics (with instructions to work in pairs or smaller groups, taking turns to answer the questions).]


Possible discussion topics )

[Day 237] Relationship Issues Group Therapy mingle


[info]tallerthanthou
[info]marinanova
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to The Winery in Sector 2. Sadly for them the alcohol is locked away, but there is an assortment of food and non-alcoholic beverages along the bar for consumption. Many of the tables have been cleared out and the chairs rearranged into a circle with booths along the edges for more intimate therapeutic discussions.

And don't forget the party favors! The wardens have left some helpful games and activity ideas to get them started. There's a bowl full of folded slips of papers with various questions.]

Possible Questions )

[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]

Additional scenarios )

(OOC: Mingle style. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! I recycled a lot of this from last time so if someone was in this group twice they can feel free to notice, but assume there are lots of questions and prompts, so they probably didn't see them all.)
